afternoon.
Notwithstanding the continued wet
weather the excavating at the Locks is
going ahead in pretty good shape. The
amount of work already accomplished
begins to show up in great shape.
Mr.. ]. S. Schenck presented us with a
sprig of lemons that were raised on Mr..
Murphy's ranch at Marysville, CAL, that
are as fine specimens as we ever saw; in
fact, Southern California is not in it, in
beauty, size and elegance. The Marys-
vile district is peculiarly adapted to cit
rus fruits, and her products command
the top margins of the markets.
1t is just thirty -one days till fishing
season opens, and fishermen are antici-
pating big catch. There are reasons
for such an opinion. Four years ago
the run was very large and the spawn of
that year will have just matured this
year. Experience shows that the fourth
year after every large run it is repeated.
The numerous rises in the river have
also been favorable, and very high water
this year is an accomplished fact, all of
which argues well for a prosperous fish
ing season.

OREGON PLUNDERED.
The John Day Fossil Beds Enrich All
Museums but Ours
They Are to he Despoiled Again This
Summer--A Note of Warning
The Richest Fossils Beds
Earth.

William Ireland, jr.. state geologist of
California, will come to Oregon next
month for the purpose of studying the
geology OF this section and will spend
four months among the fossil beds,
studying, besides the different forma-
tions of the past stages of the earth, the
evidences of animal life belonging to
these periods. The excuse California
has for researches in Oregon is that our
state is allied geologically to California.
Geology does uot recognize state lines.
Oregon discharged her geologist, Prof.
Thos. Condor, several years ago, merely
because the position cost $500 per year,
and now Oregon, the richest state in the
Union for the paleontologist, is being
neglected by herself and plundered by
others.
The John Day fossil beds are some
thing entirely new, and contain fossils
not known to exist in any other part of
the world. Yale college has over 100
different specimens of ancient animals
which have never before been duplicated,
and possibly never will be again, even
prior to 1882 Yale sent out expeditions.
and employed Mr.. L. S. Davis of this.
city as guide. Her museum has been
filled with John Day fossils, containing
not only new species of formerly dis
covered families, but the fossilized re-
mains of entirely new genera. In 1882
the geological survey replenished the
national museum with specimens won
derful and rare from the John Day fossil
beds. In like manner the Princeton ex-
pedition of 1889 robbed the beds of
whatever had been exposed by the rains
of preceding years. The Academy of
Science of Philadelphia, also, plundered
time and the year before another party
from the same place secured rich treas
ures of an age which can never be re-
produced.
It is time Oregon took some precau-
tions calculated to save for herself these
valuable relics of ages extinct from MEM
ory and otherwise from knowledge.
Prof. Condor, alone, has few of these
fossils, but a lamentable paucity COM
pared to the inestimable treasures of
Yale. Now, after an absence of vandals
from other states of several years, Cali
fornia proposes to send her state geolo-
gist to make another cleanup. OF
course there will be valuable fossils ex-
posed, for it has been several years since
these fields were picked over, and the
rains, particularly of the late winter,
which have been excessive, will have
uncovered rich treasures.
If Oregon was alive to her own in
terests she would stop this wholesale
despoiling of her fossil beds, and en-
ploy geologist to gather these fossils
for herself If she will not, few citi-
zens of The Dalles, by acting promptly
and sending out at once a man who
knows these fields as well as Mr.. Davis,
could secure the cream of the exposures
before Mr.. Irelan's arrival, and estab-
lish museum in this city which would
be sought for thousands of miles, and

A Stranger Dies.

Mr.. G.. T. Ringold, who was in the

He came from the John Day country
about three weeks ago. He had no rela-
tives in the city, but has sister in
Maryland. She has been telegraphed to
for Information concerning the DISPOSE

FARMER LEGISLATION.

: During the coming year there will be an i'm

terest to farmers dealt with by Congress and the
Executive Departments at Washington. 1t Is
highly important that the farmers be kept
promptly and fully informed as to what is being
planned and done affecting them at the National
Capital They should all, therefore, take THE

has better facilities than any other papers for
getting this information, and deyotes itself to
this duty. They will find in it constantly a
