THE BENEFIT OF NEWSPAPER TRAIN
ING.-I believe 1 have done everything
which an editor or publisher ever has
to do, from directing wrappers up to
writing the biography of president
within an hour after death. This means,
if the training be continued through
many years of life, and if one be under
a good chief, that one gains, of neces-
sity, the ready juse, at least, of his own
language. We newspaper men may
write English very i'll, but we write it
easily and quickly. SO that to US, who
have been in this business, there is
something amazing to hear a clergyman
say that he occupied q week in COM
posing d sermon, which was, at the
outside, thirty-fiye hundred words in
length. One can understand absolute
inability to do it all; but no newspaper
man understands how man, who can
do it, can spend thirty hours in doing
it. If you have to send copy" up
stairs, hour after hour, with the boy
taking slips from you one by one as
they are written, and you know that
you are never to see what you write
until you read it the next day in the
paper, your copy will be punctuated
carefully, written carefully, and will be
easily read. This is one thing. An
other thing goes with it. You will
form the habit ofdetermining what you
mean to say before you say it, how far
you want to go, and where you want to
stop. And this will bring you to q
valuable habit of life-to stand by what
has been decided. Napoleon gave the
same advice when he said, ''If you set
out to take Vienna, take Vienna" For
those reasons, am apt to recommend
young men to write for the press early
in life, being well aware that the habit
of doing this has been of use to me-

THE FISH THAT SWALLOWED JONAH.
1t is hard to believe that ravenous
fish-with no higher and no lower
thought in its meagre brain than a
plentiful dinner-should have swallow
ed and then disgorged a man, but we
are not without evidence that such
piscine conduct is at least possible.
Jonah was sailing in the Mediterranean
right along its whole length-from
Joppa in Palestine to Tarshish, in
Spain and it is in this very sea that
even at the present day a huge fish, the
white shark, is found and not only
this, but the bones of a much larger
species now extinct. For the word
used in the Bible is a general term for
large fish, and it includes in various
writers, sharks, tunales, whales, dol
phins and seals. This white shark at
tains such size that it has been known
to weigh four tons anda a half One that
was exhibited last century over Europe
weighed nearly two tons, and very
nearly re-enacted the part of Jonah's
fish. A British war-vessel was sailing
in the Mediterranean when q man fell
overheard. A huge shark instantly
rose and the unlucky seaman disap-
peared within its mouth. The captain
fired gun at it from the deck, and as
the shot struck upon its back it cast
the man out again and he was rescued
by his companions. They forthwith
harpooned the fish, dried him and pre-
sented him to his intended victim. In
the beginning of this century shark
was taken at Surinam, and in it was
discovered the body of woman ex-
cepting the head. Instances are re-
corded upon good authority of speci-
mems being found in the same sea ; one
with sea-calf in its stomach as big as
an OK, another with whole horse, and
another with two tunnies and man.
That man could live there for con-
siderable time seems by no means i'm
possible.-The Quiucr.

Following Their Old Captain.

Pendleton Tribune. The democratic
party in Oregon seems to be like ship
at mid sea and without latitude or longi-
tude. Six years ago Governor Pennoyer
was the idol. In the days agone he was
the statesman without peer, but when
he was compelled to desert the rotten
hulk of democracy because he could not
afford to ride in the steerage and partake
of the fare that was rendered him, he
was shamefully abused by the entire
crew. But it seems they could not man
the craft without him, and today they
are hanging on to the drifting wreck and
reaching out for the governors new boat
that was launched at Roseburg on last
October, and urging the captain to take
them on board.

The Old Parrot Cry.

Review. In 1884 the democracy raised
the false cry of dishonesty against the
republicans. ''Tu-n the rascals OUT it
shrieked from one end of the country to
the other. Cleveland was elected. His
administration failed to find single
penny unaccounted for. it failed to find
a single rascal" It turned out honest
men and put in ex-convicts, ex-rebels
and incompetents. Today, finding itself
shelled out of every position it has
taken, it is resorting to the same old
parrot cry about dishonesty. 1t wants
a look at the books, although the books
are already open to the inspection of
the public. 1t pretends to be party of
reform. In reality it is the party of
absconding state treasurers, Pan-Elec-
trio scandals, rotten rings and corrupt
city government. 1t would do well to
reform itself before setting itself up to
reform its betters.

Railway Companies Fall out Because
Cars are not Returned.
NEW YORK as BAD OFF as CHICAGO
Pushing on a Rope which Must be
Pulled Across the Atlantic From
the New York End.

CHICAGO, Nov. '3.-There are 10000
loaded grain cars in Chicago and there
is absolutely no place to unload them.
Every elevator is cram med to the caves,
few of the shippers are inclined to pay
the rate and majority of the boats do
not care to take grain at any price. The
reason for the lack of lake transporta-
ton is that every elevator from Toledo
to Buffalo seems to be as full as those in
Chicago, and vessels have no way of dis
charging. Some of the shippers are
compelled to hurry their grain forward,
but even by rail they began meeting
stumbling blocks yesterday. One prom
inent road refused 250 cars of grain be-
cause the shippers wanted it routed over
trunk line from which no guarantee
could be obtained of prompt return of
cars. Apparently New York is as badly
blocked as Chicago, and grain cars
through to that point might as well be
run into east river as far as their return
is concerned. East bound lines from
Chicago are beginning to hoard their
cars as miser does his gold. If they
took every car of the traffic offered them
they might easily see the time within
few weeks when all their cars would
be used as storage ware houses on trunk
line side tracks. Exactly this state of
affairs is coming about in less degree
on western roads. In spite of their best
| attempts cars are being piled up in Chi
cago at a rate which will soon make the
| blockade of last year very insignificant
affair. To move the blockade. from here
is exactly the same as pushing on the
Chicago end of rope, the other end of
which is in New York city. From this
time on the rope must be pulled across
the ocean from the New York end. The
same state of affairs exists on the border
! line of Mexico. The Mexicans are
clamoring for grain. Recent reports in
dicate great damage to their crops by
frost and hundreds of carloads of corn
are side tracked on the border because
Mexican roads can not or will not fur
| nish cars for transfer.

MARKET REVIEW.
Summary of Trade and Business for the
Current Week.

THURSDAY, Nov. 1. There has been
an increased activity in business circles
during the past week, and the markets
have shown more life and healthier
condition than any former one for the
season. Interior buyers have been
plentiful and purchases have been large,
at satisfactory prices.
Money has been easier and has circu-
lated more freely amongst the people,
thereby enabling those who have been
carried by the merchants to square up
accounts and cancel old scores.
There is a slight change in quotations
in the grocery iue. Sugars have de-
| clined 1a a cent per ID since our last
report, and the market is not firm.
has taken place within the last few
days.
| Loose Muscatel raisins of the new crop
have put in an appearance and are
quoted at 8 cents per tb in sacks. Dried
fruits are firm and have an upward
tendency. A slight advance is noticed
in prunes and dried apples, with better
! inquiry. 1uo mdTh0G is very SCodUy III
eggs with fair daily delivery at 27116
cents per dozen.
Butter is in good supply and is more
plentiful. Extra fresh roll we quote 50
cents to 30 cents per roll. Packed butter
is dull sale at 35 to 40 cents per roll.
The poultry market has turned a
little dearer, spring chickens sell at
$3.50 to $3.50 per doz. Old fowls, from
$3.50 to $3.50 per doz. The market is
entirely bare of turkeys, ducks and
geese.
In the produce lines, potatoes remain
steady on former quotations. Onions
are in fair supply and prices are some
what off. The market will not shade
any over 1 cent per ID. The prices OF
other vegetables are nominal as the
supply is good. In green fruits there is
no change to note.
The beef and mutton market is steady.
It is said that the American dressed
beef and storage company of Troutdale
have a corner on the meat question. If
that be the case and the trust have the
control of the market, there will be no
change in prices. Our quotations re-
main unchanged.

a Fiatist.

Review. A vote for Weaver is a vote
against silver. Weaver is fatist. His
voice has always been heard in advocacy
of paper money against the coin dollar.
He might boom the paper mills of the
country, but he would not and could
not do anything for the silver miner.

and Eastern Oregon at 1.121a per Genital,
with large receipts. The Dalles quotes
today, 81 per bushel for No. 1, .5S for
No. 2, and .55 for No. 3. The oat and

Estimates, which are based on the
actual situation OF the breadstutfs mar
ket in Europe, reveals the fact that she
will require 250, ,0Oo, 900, bushels of wheat
to carry her over to the harvest of 1898.
India has already exported her surplus
of 25,0o0,O00 bushels. The Bulgarian
provinces, Romanian and German EN-
pire have been called on for their limited
surpluses. There are about %, 900 900
bushels for export in the southern hem
isphere, which after deducting the above
amount-50, 100000 leaves a requirement
of 175 100000 which must come from the
United States and the Canadas. The
United States laet estimate, Just received,
is that her product for 1892, is $50, ,000,-
600 bushels, and Canada's .surplus for
export, is 5,00O,OO bushels. 1t will be
readily seen that the demand on the
United States and our northern neighbor
will not fall short of 20O, ZOO, 600 bushels
to be drawn from us. The West Indies,
and some of the South American coun-
tries, together with the constant dra; 4
from US in -four for the China trade, will
reduce our surplus % or so, 600, 600 bush
els. Our reserve requirement for a
twelvemonth, which is for seeding,
bread, and mechanical purposes, is not
less than $40, 900, 600 bushels, so there is
only left of our surplus $50, 900, 900 bush
els for export. Every bushel we export
in excess of our extra surplus must be
drawn from our reserve, and to do this
at the phenominal low priecs, quot bile
in San Francisco, at $1.31 per Genital, q
point not known since 1888.
Mark Lane Express says: The low
prices current are greatly affecting the
| deliveries of wheat, farmers having 15
per cent. less and delivering 80 per cent.
| less. Millers are bidding low for i'm
ported wheat, knowing the greater part
of the American surplus will come to
Great Britain, as France will need only
one-ffth and Holland only one-third
what they needed in 1891.
REAL ESTATE.
The real estate dealings of the week
have been more frequent. The inquiry
for properties has been by class o.
persons whe desire to make permanent
investment in city property. The scar.
city of vacant dwellings has had some.
thing to do with it, but the feeling that
the early completion of the cascade
locks will make this city the head Of
navigation for the commerce of the In
land Empire is the stimulating influence
which prompts investments in this
section. The volume of transfers has
been in excess of the former week, anc
