Unwarranted E1travagances.

Conservative Oregonians will chuckle
to themselves over the satisfactory evil
dence of wisdom in not voting big sala-
ries to set of people to represent the
state at Chicago next year, when they
read in the Tribune, which can hardly
be deemed harsh critic, of the meth
ods in vogue in the preparations for the
Columbian fair. The Tribune speaks
out with considerable emphasis about
the extravaganza which has crept into
the management of that enterprise. An
example OF what is meant is furnished
by the list of salaried directors, who
have had nothing whatever to do up to
date. The local director of foreign af-
fairs, for example, receives $4,000 for
doing nothing except to look important; !;
the traffic manager gets 5000 year
for carrying around his title, and the
head of the department of publicity gets
81 500 for the easiest job he ever had in
his life. The head of the Latin-Ameri-
can department is likewise a paid SER
want of the general government, and
gives the fair only nominal service. He
to the choral director, whose duties are
equally arduous with the others. The
same extravagant notions appeared to
have governed the arrangements of the
salary list of the hundreds of subordi-
mates, and it is allowed that it is in part
owing to such recklessness as this that
Chicago got only half the appropriation
1t asked for from Congress. It is not
surprising to hear that q horizontal cut
down has been ordered.
Oregon should be represented at
the fair, but until people come down
to the level headed way the Centennial
was handled by Hon. A. J. Dufur, of
this county, 'not much" must be ex-
pected; and we speak OF this to the
credit of Oregon.

Fruit and Produce.

Referring to the demand for fruit in
Portland yesterday the Oregonian says
''The local markets were active and
prices as rule were unchanged. A
satisfactory demand was felt both in the
merchandise and produce lines. The
fruit dealers were handicapped by the
scarcity of the principal varieties, but
as the demand was good, the feeling was
a firm one. Prunes, apples, pears and
grapes find MOST favor and sell rapidly.
1t is not thought that there will be any
thing more in melons this year. Heavy
receipts and only fair demand broke
up the business from standpoint of
profit, and all dealers have cut down
their orders. The vegetable market is
fairly well supplied with all eeasonable
truck and steady prices are in vogue
The potato crop is still suffering from a
lack of rain, and the Indications are that
prices will be high this season. -

THE TOMATO PACK.
Another Local Industry That should be
Established In Tho Dallos.

Established In Tho Dallos.
Now that The Dalles surplus fruit is
to be provided for by the canning process
another season, it may not be inappro-
pirate to mention the fact that there is
this year large surplus of fine tomatoes
which is very liable to be greatly in
creased next year and thereafter an
nualiy, which might find profitable
market abroad if properly put up. Statis-
tics inform us that the tomato pack
of 1883 was 2,943 ,579 cases of two dozen
cane each. In 1885 iC fell back to 2, 1885,
76o. In 1888 it passed the three million
mark, the pack for that year having
been 3,543, ,l37. The average pack for
nine years, 1883-lS91, has been 2. .765. .446.
The average for the three years 1S89-'9l
inclusive, has been 3,1S5, ,769. Thus has
a great industry been built up within a
recent period. Like the salmon trade,
tomato packing met with difficulties,
but it surmounted them by energy and
pluck. The consumer as well as the
packer has benefited by this growth. In
1887 prices ranged from 55 cents to 81. 10,
while last year the highest and lowest
prices were 80 and So cents per dozen,
respectively. There is a close affinity
between fruit and tomatoes. There is
much instruction to be derived by pack
ers from the careful study of the above
details. Wasco farmers may ponder
over them with profit, and inquire why
they, who can raise tomatoes by the
million bushels, gain SO little by this
profitable industry.

THE MILITIA sAOK1FIuEs.
New Phase OF the Question of P-otec-
tion In just Manner.

S4OA IA - u OAoS uAohAAcEs
AT "a meeting of A company, Oregon
National Guard last night, one of the
serious questions respecting militia duty,
freely discussed among the members in
an informal way, was the lack OF pro-
lection extended to the members in
cases where their situations are ieopar-
died by answering the call of the state
to arms in times of emergency. It is
surely new phase of the strikes ques-
tion, and new problem to puzzle over.
For instance: Many members of the
New York militia are young men hold
ing salaried positions in stores and
offices. 1t is now reported that on ac-
count of their enforced absence upon
military duty at Buffalo some of these
young men have been incontinently
discharged by their employers. They
were patriotic enough TO enlist their SER
vices on behalf of the commonwealth, and
the time came when the commonwealth,
acting in self-defense, had to make use
of them. Because it did SO some of
these young men, who can i'll afford to
lose their incomes, are thrown out of
place. If this is permitted it is evident
that the incentive to enter. the militia
service will be ininimized. To serve
ones state is well enough, but if the
state cannot at least protect it's servitors,
young Americans cannot be blamed for
avoiding the one-sided partnership.
The question is: In future strikes and
difficulties demanding the presence of
the militia are the members serving to
have the assurance that by their patri-
otism they will not incur the penalty of
surrendering their incomes2
