Flooding the Low Lands - Fruit Crop
Prospects
LONDON, April 1s.-Britons have good
reason to grumble at the weather now
prevailing. People were beginning to
congratulate themselves upon an early
spring, when suddenly there was a
change in the temperature and midwin-
ter weather again set in. Snow storms
prevailed throughout the length and
breadth of the Kingdom, and the bud
ding trees and Sprouting crops were
greatly damaged. The telegraph SER
vice throughout the country was disor-
ranized by the breaking down Of wires
beneath the weight Of sleet that formed
on them.
In the county OF Essex the rivers have
been swollen to an abnormal height by
the storms and in many places the coun-
try is flooded. In some parts the situa-
tion Is serious. The loss incurred by
farmers and fruit grower will be very
great.
Or the island OF jersey, where snow
and frosts are rare. the weather has
been phenomenal. 1t is eEimated that
here alone the loss on pot 70 crop will
amount TO eI5O.0OO. Thet0ld shows no
sign of abatement. In Many places the
ground is covered with, snow q foot
deep.

Improving snake River.

A correspondent Of the Statesman
gives the following account OF i'm
proponents being made in Snake riv-
or with the appropriation secured by
Congressman Sweet:
To-day your correspondent was on
board the Oregon, one OF the scows
built for use in blasting on the Snake
river between here and the Seven
Devils. Il viii BIO remembered that
through the efforts of Congressman
Sweet an appropriation of $4,000
was secured for the purpose OF blast
ing out and removing several obstruc-
tons in the Snake river between here
and the Seven Devils, the most prom
inent Of which was very bad boulders
in the Whisky, Bayhorse and Black
smith rapids. For the information of
the readers Of The Statesman tho fol-
lowing was CLEANED from Captain
William Cuthbert, of Portland, who
has charge of the work.
lie said that two river scows, the
Oregon and the Idaho, were built on
the river just below the railroad
bridge at Huntington. The cost OF
building and equipping them was
about $1,000 and the balance of the
appropriation could be used in blast
ing out boulders, ms Il was intended
to make the channel four feet deep
and $50 feet in width in all places at
low water mark.
The Oregon crew are working un-
der w. w. Smith, foreman, and are
launched IN tho middle of the stream
about one and half miles below the
bridge; while w. p. Smith is fore.
man of the Idaho, which is launched
about half mile farther down and
right in the Whisky rapids. The
work IS progressing and good results
are being obtained. they having al
ready blown up several large boul-
ders which were under two feet of
water. They expect to clear the
stream down as far as point oppo-
site Mineral by the first of January.
The people of Huntington are much
interested in seeing the work progress,
and it is hoped that it will not be
long until boats are making regular
trips to the Seven Devils country.
Should this be the case by next sum
mer one of the liveliest mining camps
Of the West will spring up in that To-
cality.

ave are handicapped BY the gen
eral prosperity Of the country"
That was the dispairing comment
Of prominent Democratic chirftain,
upon the report Of the Democratic
labor commissioner Of New York.
It reflects pretty accurately the
sentiments Of the Democratic mana
gers generally. Their stock IN trade
is calamity. Prosperity is to them
what paris green is to potato hug
they shrivel, shrink and die by its
touch.
Handicapped bp prosperity! Yes,
indeed, You are, Democrats; and here
Is \ brief outline Of the weights you
must carry:
/. The report Of the buren, Of
statistics, showing, instead OF stran-
gled commerce, foreign trade for
1892 larger than ever before IN our
history; an export trade for the same
year amounting for the first time to a
billion dollars; nm import trade more
than half Of which is absolutely free
al duty, and lower average Tariff
rate than under the old law.
2. The report OF the Senate Com
mlttes showing that the average
price Of 2l4 articles OF general con-
sumption has declined under the new
Tariff 0,64 Of ] per cent. by one
method OF comparison, l.S per cent
by another, while in the same time
agricultural products have advanced
1928 per cent, and general wage,
have advanced 0.75 OF ! per cent.
3. The report of labor commits
sioner Peck, mentioned above, show
ing that in the great Empire Stat,
there was an increase in the amour
Of wages paid during the first year o

increased s3l,3l5,l3 100, and the aver
age yearly earnings Of employees ha
their wages raised, and strikes wer
1740 less numerous.
4. The report Of the Democrat
