Current Comment.

The early opening of the Siletz
Indian reservation would open UP
one OF the nnest bodies Of agricul-
tural and timber land on the coast.
In justice to the people who are oe-
veloping the magnificent country
between the Coast range and the
Pacific ocean this reservation should
be opened at an early date.

To residents of the Bay country
who are complaining Of dull times
we would say that not only are
times dull in the Bay country hut
are equally so i'll the valley. In the
latter place general depression has
taken place during the past year
and business is almost at a stand
still. The sawmill industry there
seems to be pretty we'll paralyzed,
and there seems to he no hope Of
a relief for some time TO come.
Whea. and potatoes are remarkably
low, while the price of hops, now
that they are all sold, is pretty we'll
up. Taken on the whole the resi-
dent OF the Bay county is aswell or
better of than his Valley neighbor.

Among the varied industries of
Lincoln county, one that will take
much prominence il the near future
is that ofraising cranberries. Coun-
ty Commissioner J. O. Stearns has
half acre of cranberries on his
place on the Alsea, and has demon
strated beyond doubt that the
crauberries for the market is a sue
cess and extremely profitable. On
his half acre last year he sold 500
worth of cranberries. His were
most choice and though sold at a
much higher price than the eastern
berry they were readily sold before
other berries on account of their
superior frmness aud favor. He
cultivates the Cherry and the Brgle
varieties, both Of which are fine
berries, His ground is genuine
peat bog, and is so situated that he
can food it if necessary to do so
except in the winter time. He has
arranged display of berries for the
Oregon exhibit at the Worlds fair,
and it is believed that they will
equal any berry which will be on
exhibit at that place. Two years
ago Mr., Stearns had all exhibit of
berries in the car Oregon on
Wheels" which elected much
favorable comment from many
leading papers throughout the
east.

On the Wrong Scent.

Deputy Sheriff Babcock came down
from Hayes county on Monday having
in custody Jacob Mundel1 charged with
being interested in the Lowman robbery
of some months since. In the prelimi-
nary trial before Squire Kelley Mundel1
was released and the case dismissed, it
appearing that Jacob was not the man
wanted at all. 1t seems, however, that
Jacob had been down to this city about
the time of the robbery, and had on
credit secured some articles which led to
the suspicion among some people Of that
neighborhood that he wa the party that
had engineered the Lowman robbery, as
the family branched out in unusual
splendor shortly after his return from
McCook. The account of the robbery as
it appeared in THE TRIBUNE also sug-
gested to them the suspicion under the
other unusual circumstances The hear
ing entirely exonerated Mr.. Mundell,

CAPITAL is evidently beginning
to understand the significance Of
the popular hostility to trusts. The
unfruitful results of the efforts of
several of these combines to Dor
row money last week SO indicate.
Stock of these corporations that a
few weeks ago were ''gilt-edged"
receive now little or no considera-
ton. No one can long violate a
natural law with impunity, and
these trusts exist in violation Of
the natural law Of trade as surely
as of the ethical code and legal
statutes. Their imminent condi-
ton merely again illustrates the
truth of the trite adage that the
mills of the gods grind slowly, but
they grind exceedingly fine. Icha-
bod is written on their charters
their day has departed.

Another important ruling affecting
h~omesteaders is established in the gener-
al land Office. The supreme court holds
that in the death of a homestead entry
mar leaving no widow, but both adult
and minor heirs, patents when issued
should issue to all the heirs equally and
not to the minor heirs to the exclusion
of the adults. This is contrary to the
uniform rulings heretofore, but Secretary
Smith holds that all cases in conflict
with the decision must be considered
overruled, and hereafter all patents is
sued must conform to this decision.

Cutting and slashing Legitimate prices
for advertising is a species of disreputable
journalism that is responsible for the
fact that country editors do not generally
enjoy the pleasure and satisfaction of
having gilt edge "credit." 1t is a Filthy

country editor who schemes to reduce
legitimate prices to a starvation rate is
