These are busy times for the fruit
growers. Yesterday an Independent re-
porter visited the great prune orchard of
MIR. N. a. jacobson, where he beheld a
scene well calculated to stir up his
enthusiasm. Just imagine sixty acres OF
Trees every one MS pretty as nature knows
how to make atree, and hundreds of the m
fairly bending down under their londs of
ripening fruit Here we found some
eighteen or twenty men, under the di-
rection of an experienced foreman, pick
ing and packing the prunes for shipment.
Such sight is worth travelling miles To
see.
Mr. jacobson is now loading car for
the &. G.. Liebhardt Commission Company.
of Denver, to whom he ships all of his
fruit. He says he believes this firm to be
one of theme reliable in the country. II
handles hundreds of carloads every
season.
The car which is now being loaded will
be conspicuously tabled with large
banners, advertising to the world the fact
the Payette is the great prune center.
On Wednesday Of next week another
carload of prunes will be shipped to
Denver by Messrs. Gorrie, McGlinchey
Rossi and Whitney Independ-
ent.
We copy the above to ask why it
is that we are SO far behind? Pay
cite is in the same valley as Weiser
we are but twelve miles apart; we
have the same climate, the same soil,
the same facilities. Yet do we ship
any fruit? Is there an orchard where
you can find twenty men packing its
product? There are some fine Or
chards of moderate size here, but
there appears to be no attempt to sell
outside our own locality. While
much of our fruit goes to waste, Pay
cite is shipping it by the car load
This looks bad for us. We ought to
do as well, or better still, have
cannery and evaporation and push our
production.

General Weaver and Mrs. Lease
are travelling in a special and
elegantly equipped drawing room cal
and rarely stop at hotels. At every
place they speak they take up a col
lection. The General takes in on the
average about 500 a day and Mrs.
Lease $40 As a speculation the
third party agitation is a big thing
for them and whether Weaver is
elected or not he will have made a

The rumors of probable railroad
up the Weiser river naturally causes
one to contemplate the benefits
arising from such an enterprise. They
are so manifold and of such moment
that the SIGNAL, for one, can scarcely
bear to entertain the possibility Of its
non-fulfillment. Summing them up
hastily, Weiser, as the starting point,
would receive that live, forward
impulse which is natural to a rail
road junction. There would be, of a
necessity, repair shops at this point,
with their usual quota of men
employed; it would also be the end
OF division and general headquarters
OF the numerous employees, who
would be paid here each month and n
large amount of money thus kept in
circulation. AS junction there
would naturally be vast amount of
transient and other business accrue
therefrom. The road would be an
incentive TO large irrigation enter
prises so badly needed. With the
latter the entire valley would change
as If by magic, the sagebrush would
disappear, the surrounding country
would be dotted with homes on every
forty acres, and our prolific soil would
yield thousands upon thousands of
dollars worth of grain and fruits
With all this neighborhood pop
ulation and commerce, Weiser would
become great and wealthy city.
Going through the valleys of Middle.
Salubria, Indian and Council, it would
open to the markets of the world one
of the grandest masterpieces of
agricultural beauty and fertility the
cunning hand of nature ever wrought
The saving in transportation and the
easy marketing facilities would add
renewed energy to production, the
population would swell with
rapidity, every available tract of
land sliced upon, farms sub-divided
into more easily handled sizes and
every acre coaxed to its utmost pro-
ducing capacity, until the whole
section groaned under its burden of
yellow grain. Mills to turn this
grain into flour would locate in each
of the valleys mentioned and the
fai mer realize far greater return
from his labor. Being in the
center Of this rich section the CITY of

THE WEISER SIGNAL.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER %, 1892

Where rests the blame for the
menacing scourge of cholera in the
United States? Possibly it dates fan
back, even to the first emigrant ship
that brought those who could nc
longer find home in other lands.
Americans proudly boosted of having
free country, where all nationalities
could find home; and in Washing
ton were enacted from time to time
laws for the benefit of emigrants
but in their anxiety to prosper the
stranger, the eminent lawmakers
seemingly failed to appreciate the
fact that the influx of such numbers
and diversities Of people would I'M
avoidably bring much of the worst
social elements from abroad. The
emigrants continued to come in great
streams, and the nation is now con
fronted by the emigration problem,
the solving of which will require
serious legislation that can not be
longer delayed.
1t is the duty of every good
American citizen TO see that this
subject is one of immediate con
sideration. Let the voters give
Congress to understand that this
country has had enough emigration.
Every year thousands of the poorest,
and frequently the most abandoned,
class of foreigners are landed at our
ports in the most deplorable poverty
and wretchedness. They swarm into
our cities, swelling the masses of the
poor, and increasing the misery which
has gradually grown beyond the aid
OF American charity, as noble and as
widespread as it may be. We have
had enough of emigration. 1t has
decreased wages, increased crime, and
flooded the country with non-self-
supporting element that breeds
anarchy and revolution. 1t is all a
mistake that ''emigration can not be
stopped, that it is beneficial, " as is
claimed by those who favor it. The
steamship companies have reaped
millions from the emigrants. Let
Congress pass law making it a
penitentiary oifense for the president
and every official of the companies,
and for the captain and officers of
every ship, to land a steerage
on our coasts, and the pro-
,lem will vanish. Our own poor are
o be aided, and just so long rs
emigration continues they will have !,
o divide labor, and this division is
'eyond numerical calculation. At a .
altering of distinguished scholars an
American was Boosting of our
Universal prosperity The great
historian Carlyle remarked: "That is {
ecause you have not so many people
here; just wait while. $

Salubria would flourish In a
phenomenal manner. A mammoth
trade from the surrounding country
would be hers She would grow
in beauty and size and, great as
Weiser might become, Salubria
would be a dangerous rival for first
place. Her city property would
ascend to great value and those OF
her people who are its owners would
suddenly find themselves possessed
of fortunes. Perhaps no locality
would be more greatly benefited
than that delightful mountain valley
the Meadows. The people of this
valley are at present engaged in
raising stock, as their isolation from
a market precludes any other
business. Whether they ship on their
own hook or sell to buyers, they
have to drive TO Weiser at an expense
in time and money. With the rails
into their neighborhood they would
save this 90mile trip and realize con
siderable more. But the greatest
item would be in hay production,
thousands of tons of which could be
shipped out The valley is specially
adapted to hay raising and could
assume astounding proportions in
that line, but at present its product
is limited to its local needs in feed
ing stock, as q surplus could not be
disposed Of Grain is also raised
quite successfully in the Meadows
and it might attain prominence in that
line. A branch from the road
would diverge at Council to the Seven
Devils, causing the dormant mines
to spring into activity, shelters to 90
up and hundreds of men to be en-
ployed. The vast timber section in
our northern confines would be
by huge saw mills with
their scores of loggers, woodmen and |
laborers, and would become worth
millions. The road would pay a
gigantic sum into the county treasury
in the way of taxes. Other taxable
would double, treble,
luadruple and keep on going.
Industry, activity and prosperity
would bloom on every hand. This
one thing is needed to make us by
far the foremost county in wealth in
ihe whole state. The knowledge of
,hese truths and the very grandness
If the enterprise is what makes it so
'asy to start a railroad excitement
.mong our people We repeat that
Ghen one goes over the field and grasps

The cholera scare will be a good
thing in one respect. The health
officers in nearly all the cities of the
United States are taking strict
sanitary measures and wholesale
war is being made on filthy alleys,
ETC., which will result in much
purer atmosphere within their con-
fines.

the nomination he will be sure of the
election. There is no better man in
the district for the position. The
Democrats have put a man on their
ticket for the position who is a crank
amongst cranks; he is known as an
opposer to expanding money for the
construction of roads, while Wilterd-
ing is a public spirited gentleman and
will do his duty.

ruin the party in the South. They
have made up their minds that an en-
tire change OF program in the South
must be decided upon Immediately,
aud they will tell the other members
Of the Campaign Committee the truth
this afternoon. Such publicity has
been given to the Alabama election
that there is little hope that series
of similar ones in other Southern
States will pass unno,iced.
So long as the question of Demo.
cratic control rested entirely on the
suppression OF the colored vote every.
thing was lovely. Now, however.
white men are the sufferers, and they
do not propose to be cheated without
protest What changes in the plan OF
campaign may be suggested by Cor
man and Ransom can only be con.
jectured.
It is we'll known that the Alliance
detes.s Cleveland, and that reg ular
Democrats in North and South Caro-
lima, Virginia and Georgia share in
this sentiment. If a stampede begins
it will be all over with Cleveland.
Presumably the only way open is
for Cleveland to modify some Of his
views. Possibly enough voters can
be concilisted in this way to save
some of these States. Otherwise
there is trouble ahead for every body,
and Senators Ransom and German
will warn the members of the COM
mi,tee that solid South should not
be counted on so confidently.
At meeting Of the National Com
mittee on July 81, Senator Ransom
