THE reunion of the Orphan Brigade at
Paris was largely attended and every
thing was done to make the old boys
have good time. The service of this
command for the Lost Cause furnishes a
story OF valor, hsrdships and patriotism
that fills the reader with admiration and
wonder. AS they were first in war, SO
they have been in peace and always will
occupy warm place in the hearts OF
their countrymen. They have all man
aged without pensions to make living,
while large majority OF them have ac'
cumulated wealth and won additional
honors in peace. Their ranks are fast
diminishing. but if the prayers OF those
they defended are heard, they will con-
tinue to meet in many more such happy
reunions as the one at Paris

VERI'ISE OREGON.

''Oregon on Wheels" as the
moving exhibition is called, has
done some good. Thousands of
people have visited the railroad
car and examined with interest
our fruits, cereals, minerals and
other productions. Many people
have thus been impelled to acquire
more information about Oregon
with view of settling here. But
to reap the best results a perman-
ent Oregon agency is required,
something like that which re-
presented California for sometime
in Chicago. There in a public
throughfare was a miniature ex-
hibition of Californian products.
1t was in charge of an intelligent,
practical farmer, who had an abund-
ance of documents and was ready
besides to give the varied informa-
ton which visitors sought.
The Oregon display could be
made fully as attractive for pros
pective settlers as that of our sister
state. The salmon industry would
in itself make an attractive exhibi-
ton. 1t would show what Oregon
enterprise has accomplished, and
how we'll adapted the state is for
industries of the largest kind. The
vegetables and fruits of Clatsop.
Multnomah, Clackamas, Marion
and other we'll developed counties
would be attractive to young farm
ers in quest of homesteads, while
the silver, copper and lead OF
Josephine, Jackson, Baker counties
and other mineral regions would
arrest the attention of miners and
manufacturers. The paper, flour
and woolen goods made at Oregon
City would likewise add to the in.
duStrlal lame OF oregon, and I'M
pre- SIS favorably business men and
capitalists.
1t would pay the state to estab,
lish this Oregon exhibition in New
York or in Chicago during the in.
terval between this and the open
ing OF the worlds fair, which will
overshadow all displays, large OIL
small. But if the state can dc
nothing, the business men of Ore
gon should entertain seriously
the proposal. :Oregon on Wheels
will soon cease to roll. 1t will moi
do to have the good work stoI
there. Oregon must be advertised

THAT was a fine looking and in
telligent body of men that as
sembled at the court house last
Monday. They were representa-

came to Corvallis to attend bus
iness meeting, and the meeting
was conducted in a business like
manner and on business principles.
There was no wrangling over this
Or that rule of order or candidate.
Harmony seemed to rule the day.
There was plenty of good material
to select from and the convention,
after considering we'll the merits
of each candinate, placed in nomi-

strength and were qualified to fill
the offices for which they were
nominated and men who will meet
the general approval of the peo-
pie of Benton county.

HILL's efforts to work up a
large boom IN the south by speech
making and otherwise do not ap-
pear to have prospered overmuch.
The truth is that the country at
large has formed pretty just esti-
mate of Hill's qualifications and
capabilities. Outside ofNew York,
as we'll as in it, he is known as a
shrewd and INSCRIPTIONS schemer
and wire-puller. Nobody ques-
tions his smartness, and few peo-
pie are not aware that he is devoid
alike of convictions and principles.
He is for Hill first, last and all the
time. A truly patriotic or large
minded impulse or. idea never
entered his mind. The men whom
he has rallied to his support dis
trust if they do not hate him; and
despite the action of the Albany
midwinter convention it will cause
no surprise if the New York dele
cation to Chicago, after a perfume
tory vote for Hill, cast their in
f1uence and votes III favor of
another MANN. Y. Tribune.

DEMOCRATIC Congressman Bryan
of Nebraska. in his recent speech
derided the bounty on sugar which
the republicans provided in the
Mckinley law to save the louisiana
planters from ruin. The beet
sugar bulletin issued from the
Nebraska university, on the first
of March, shows that the average
cost of producing sugar beets in
the Lancaster county experiments,
was in one series 1925 per acre.
The yield averaged 31.50 tons, and
the cost Of production was there
fore but tritie in excess of 81 per
ton. The industry promises we'll
in Nebraska. Napoleon Bona
parte encouraged the establish
ment of the beet sugar industries
which to-day flourish in France
and Germany, when other nations
laughed at it; but nobody laughs
to day at Napoleon's prescience and
its results. Perhaps some day
Nebraska will laugh at Congress
man Bryan.

NOTES FOR WOMEN.

Senator Edwards bill giving to
women the right to vote for school
commissioners passed the senate
last week. The vote was twenty
five TO one.
The legislature of New Jersey
introduced bill to close the state
exhibit, and requested the closing
of the Columbian Exposition gates
on Sunday. There were but three
votes against the bill. This is the
fifth state that has responded to
our women's earnest plea.
The senator from South Dakota
who so fifty answered the plea OF
our own respected senator for
license in Alaska deserves vote
of thanks from all w. G. 7. q. cir
cles. We wish we had more men
with as much stamina.
The womans college, of Balti
more, Nd, is fully established and
will confer the degree of Bachelor
of Arts on its first graduating
class next June.

THE FdLtEY RNs.

The Portland Oracle published
by E. o. Norton speaks a volume
Of truth in the following: "The
towns up the Willamette valley
are all fairly prosperous, and some
of them are going ahead with great
spirit and enterprise. This is
especially the case of Salem, Cor
Wallis, Albany, Lebanon, Wood
burn and Eugene City. These
cities deserve their prosperity, too.
Their citizens are enterprising,
public spirited men, willing to con-
tribute aid to every enterprise
which will benefit their towns.
In this respect we have no hesita-
ton in saying that, i'll proportion
to population and wealth. these
valley towns have far more public
spirit than the city of Portland.
In manufactures especially these
valley towns have more capital in
vested, in proportion to wealth
and population, than Portland
And strangers looking for homes
can rely on these towns to grow
right along, for the enterprise
which has built them up this far
will continue to push them right
along, and make investments in
their lots and properties good
thing to have"

The subject Of opening the
Worlds fair on Sunday is still be-
ing agitated in the newspapers
throughout the country and strong
influence is brought to bear on the
commissioners by the advocates OF
both sides. The strongest argu-
ment for keeping the gates open is
that the crowds of idlers will be
driven into the saloons if the fair be
closed on the Sabbath. As the sa-
looms of Chicago run the city gov
ernment, they are not expected to
respect the Sunday law and so it
would probably be just as well to
keep the fair open seven days in
the week. This would permit
those to go to church who wanted
to and thoes who preferred the fair
might go there. There is little or
no. use trying to enforce Sunday
laws in such cities as Chicago or
New York and any attempt to 90
SO will be treated with contempt
by the slum element who hold the
balance of power. One days rest
in seven would be a good thing for
the community if there was a
sentiment strong enough to enforce
it, but there isn't in Chicago.

If any one doubts that this is a
"billion dollar country" let him
cast his eyes over the figures rep
resenting the value Of our exports
during the year ending February
%, 1892, and be convinced. Ia
bles show that the grand aggregate
of these amounted to $999, 9,779,771,
falling but s22O,229 below the
billion dollar line. The imports
for the same period amounted in
value to $l7l,63T.537. The ex
port oil gold and silver amounted
to $110.452, ,O66, an excess of
$45, 729,9l9 over the imports dur
ing the twelve months. Oppo
nents of the Mckinley law will

EXCHANGES throughout the val
ley contain accounts of the farmers
waging war on the orchard pests
Trees are being scraped and
sprayed with a solution that is
said to be sure death to the pests.
More work of this kind has been
done this spring than ever before
in the Willamette Valley. Every
year brings further proofs of the
great benefits of the state agricul-
tural college, to the farmer and
horticulturist Three years ago
war against the destructive fruit
pests was hardly thought of. Orch
ards were considered Improbable,
allowed to care for themselves, the
moss covered trees, the home of
insect pests were fast going TO de-
cay. The efficient and unceasing
work Of an able corps of scientific
educators at the agriculture college
together with the many farmers,
institutes held in all parts of the
state under the auspices Of this
institution has caused great
awakening among our granger
friends in all agricultural pursuits,
especially that of fruit raising.
During the past three years many
thousands of acres of land in the
Willamette valley, have been set
to fruit, and from the present pros
poets in five years more the whole
valley will be one vast orchard.
Fruit land has enhanced in value
from one hundred to three hundred
per cent. And the reputation of
Oregon fruits is known all over
the land, it commands premium
in all the markets of the world.
This condition Of affairs is due to
a great extent to the efforts Of the
instructors at the agricultural col
lege to place all agricultural pur-
suits On a higher and more scien-
tific basis, and the many bulletins
giving the results of various ex-
periments, and the vast amount OF
scientific literature that has been
spread broadcast over the state
by this institution free to all with
out money and without price.

This office has been favored with a com.
p!ete catalogue and price list of the Ever.
green Nurseries, OF Evergreen, Wis. This
nursery is well known throughout the west,
having been many years established. The
proprietor, Mr.. Geo. Pinney, has probably
distributed more evergreeDs and forest trees
through this state than any other man in
the country. Although he raises and sells
millions of forest trees annually, his spe
cialty is evergreens. He plants hundreds Of
pounds of the seeds every year, and now
has nearly three hundred varieties ON his
lists, fully equalling the largest nurseries
in Europe, which supply the nurseries and
parks of royalty. OF course, having such a
large trade and growing them in such large
quantities, he is able to give better prices
for the same quality of trees than any Other
nurseryman in the country. 1t is well
worth the while of any person to send fol
his lists.
