SUGAR BEET SEED.

The president of the board of trade of
this city has received the following letter
from the Oregon State Board of Commerce
with regard to the sugar beet seed which
has been sent out by that body. The
seed can be had on application to the
CHRONICLE office:
PORTLAND, April II, 1891.
Mr.. A. S. MacaIlister, President The
DaIles Board of Trade.
DEAR SIR: As you are doubtless
movement to have an experiment made
in the raising of sugar beets in this state,
in order to ascertain at what cost they
can be produced, and an analysis made
of the beets grown to ascertain their
richness in saccharine matter. Believ-
ing that the production of the sugar
would be matter of very great benefit
to the state, have procured seed for ex-
perimental purposes of what are reputed
herewith by express small quantity of
EACH that is, ''Klein Wanzleben'' and
the "Vilmoin's Improved 1 also mail
herewith instructions for planting and
cultivating the beets, as furnished me by
E. H. Dyer, of Alvarado, CAL, who is an
authority on this subject. l would re-
quest that you distribute this seed to
SOIle OI your mOSC r6llaDle FARMERS, VINO
will take interest in the matter and will
follow the instructions. Between now
and the time for harvesting the beets, 1
will endeavor to have all arrangements
made for the analysis of the beets to as
certain their value in sugar. / would
also ask that you request the parties to
whom you give the seed to keep care
full record OF the matter, 30 that they
will be able, at the time of turning in the
beets, to furnish statement of the
quantity in weight, per acre, their expert
ments produced and at what cost they
were grown. 1t is to be hoped that these
experiments will prove that the beets
can be produced in this state at cost,
and of quality, that will enable the
sugar manufacturing industry to be es-
tablished.
Trusting that you will be able to give
this matter the requisite attention, 1
have the honor to be,
Yours very truly,
T. F. OSBORN,
President.

1t is plain to those who know E. F.
Humason, who has been convicted at
Spokane of the crime of stealing cattle
and sentenced to the penitentiary for
two years, that he is victim of malevo-
lence and of spirit of revenge. Huma-
son was cattle dealer and butcher at
The Dalles for more than twenty years,
and had business relations in Portland
where he was well known throughout
this long period. He always bore the
reputation of an honest and honorable
man. At Spokane he is clearly the VIC
tim of circumstances. There has been a
good deal of cattle stealing in that Sec
ton. Humason bought and butchered
some stolen cattle, not knowing that
they had been stolen. An angry jury,
determined to put stop to cattle steal
ing, have taken advantage of an oppor-
tunity to use Humason as an example to
terrorize cattle thieves, and thereby have
made an innocent and honest man a
victim. No one who knows Humason
as he is known at The Dalles and Port
land, will believe for moment that he
has committed a crime. When guilty
men so seldom get their deserts, it seems
doubly wrong that innocent men should
suffer.-Orego7aSdn

our General Varney.

The West Shore publishes picture of
General James A. Varney, who served
SO satisfactorily during the past year as
department commander of the G. A. r..
of Oregon and says of him:
The retiring department commander,
James A. Varney, was born in Brooks,
Waldo county, Maine, October z, 1925.
He went to California around the Horn
in 1S49 and returned to Maine in 1858.
In 1861, he went to the front as chaplain
of the Seventh Maine Inf. Vols, and
served through the Peninsular campaign.
Mr.. Varney came to Oregon fifteen years
ago, and is now living in The Dalles en-
gagged in the nursery and florist business.
Fruit and flowers have been his hobby
for years. He was charter member of
the State Pomological society, of Maine,
and an executive officer for years, and
made a fruit exhibit for the state at the
Philadelphia centennial, He is now one
of the Oregon State Board of Horticul-
ture and pest inspector. Mr. Varnev
was a charter member of James w.
Nesmith Post No. 80, G. A. R., at The
Dalles, and is a cousin of the gentleman
whose name is thus perpetuated. He
served three successive terms as post
Commander, and was elected department.
commander at Eugene year ago. His
administration has been the most ener-
getic and business like the department.
has ever had, and the order has been
greatly strengthened and enthused. In
his official capacity he attended the
grand encampment at Boston last year.
Mr.. Varney is Mason in high standing
both as a Royal Arch and Knight
Templar. He was prelate of Trinity
commandery, No. L, Augusta, Maine, for
two years, and charter member of ST..
Omar commandery, No. II, Waterville,
Maine, serving continuously as prelate
for many years until his removal to
Oregon, since which time he has main
tanned his membership.

The Good Old Fashion,

The enchantment of distance, like the
haze OF Indian summer, is undeniable but
1t Is atmospheric. 1t is not a part of the
thing seen, it is the medium through
which we see it. The old fashioned. win
ter is such winter as sometimes occurred
when there was not a new fashioned win
ter-that is to say, that sometimes winter
was mild, sometimes severe, as it is now.
But there is no good old fashioned quality
-heroism, self sacrifice, manly persist
ence, truthfuiness and honor in all deal
ing-which has gone out of fashion.
Genius, indeed, fluctuates from age to
age. There are splendid epochs of art and
literature-thea age OF Pericles of Augustus.
OF the Medici, of Elizabeth; but the age of
character, OF public and private virtue, is
perpetual. One voice may whisper that
the Decalogue and the golden rule have
nothing to do with politics. But a greater
voice, swelling into chorus of conviction,
silences it by saying that politics are moral
principles applied TO public affairs. The
beauty Of the moral universe, like that of
visible nature, never becomes old fashion

Walking Versus Cycling.

Some think that cycling is a substitute
for the use of ones legs in the way most
natural. 1t is certainly faster method of
getting over the ground; in other respects
it is vastly inferior to the old original form
of exercise. Even the accomplished cyclist
cannot help letting his thoughts center
upon his machine and the various hazards
to which he and it are exposed. Is the hill
in front too steep to ride up? Is the hill
below steep enough to permit of an aban-
donment of the treadles and surrender to
that voluptuous pleasure of brisk motion
through space, which has something more
than humanity agreeable about it? Will
those children there get out of the way in
time, or is he-the rider-to have the burden
of boyslaughter upon his soula And so on.
In truth the cyclist is not half the man
that the pedestrian is at the time of their
respective exercise. The pedestrian can
whistle and swing his stick, and look to
the right and left of him, peep with sweet
elaboration into the cottage by the way,
wherein he sees a smooth cheek and glad
blue eye, which to the cyclist, urged on by
his fate, are a mere flash of possibilities
and the next moment nothing at all. The
cyclist sees too much and too little He
may have fair general knowledge of the
country he has sped through; but of tie
details he can recount little. 1t is no such
immense achievement TO watch the scurry-
ing of the yellowhammer from one point of
the hedge to another five yards further,
then another five yards on, until at length,
as if it were out of patience with the harm
lessness of the advancing biped, it whistles
off obliquely toward turnip field.
Still the man afoot may take an interest
in birds; or if he be a lover of plants he
Of L h
growth of the hedge at single protracted
look; aye, and without any fuss stoop down
and examine them. The cyclist, on the
other hand, has a confused vision of
greenery and plowed fields or ripening
grain. 1t is as if he had eaten his dinner
in one uncomely heap, soup, joint, the wing
of a fowl and tart or two all being jun
bled horribly together. - All the Year

No winter Climate Like Our Own.

There is no winter climate elsewhere to
compare with that found in our extreme
southwest or in Mexico, and the sooner we
put this fact into poetry and literature and
begin to make a tradition of it the better
VIII 1t be for our peace of mind and for our
children. And if the coutineno does not
satisfy US, there lie the West Indies within
few hours sail, with all the luxuriance
and geniality of the tropics. We are only
half emancipated yet. We are still apt to
see the world through the imagination of
England, whose literature we adopted. or
of Germany.
To these bleak lands Italy was a para
disc, and was so sung by poets who had no
conception of a winter without frost. We
have winter climate of another sort from
any in Europe; we have easy and comfort
able access to it. The only thing we need
to do now is to correct our imagination,
which has been led astray. Our poets can
at least do this for us-Charles Dudley
Warner in Harper's.
