who were. forced to let go at that nSure.
Those people hail the oncomlng OF the
Standard with great Joy. They feel that
for themselves things have reached bot.

certainly bring relief to them.
ONE OF THE BANNER WELLS
The Powell we'll, at Victoria and Tenn
pie streets averages six barrels an hour,
and as fast as the oil is pumped out the
we'll fills up. 1t has been running six
weeks now. Without pumping there
would be a slight spout. 1t is down 743
feet. This is one of the banner wells OF
the city.
Mr.. Powell has also put down a new
we'll on his territory. Oil was struck at
sixty feet, and at 500 feet an excellent
flow has been secured.
NEWS ABOUT THE WELLS
Work has been abandoned on the we'll
at Bellevue avenue and Vermont street.
Cause, too much water.
The Far West Oil company has sus-
pended work on its drill hole on the
Hughes tract east of Westlake park. AT
HOO feet the hole filled up with water.
An experimental we'll is being put down
west of the university.
At $50 feet oil was reached in the Bell
Rock we'll at Belmont and Rockford ave-
nues.
The Gibbs WE'LL at Court street and Bel
mont avenue. is down $50 feet and no oil
is in sight. 1t is expected to be tapped
at 900 feet.
The Libby we'll is yielding twenty-five
barrels a day at $50 feet and will be
showed on down to 1909 feet.
The East Side Oil company's we'll was
depened from 750 feet to 800 feet. The
result was sixty barrels day instead OF
fifteen.

1t will be remembered that Meserve's
appointment was hotly contested and
hung fire for some time in the early days
of the present administration. He was
approached, so he says, during the fight
and was informe ed that if he would join The
A. P. A and agree as soon as he was ap-
pointed, to dismiss every Catholic park
employee, the opposition to his appoint
ment would cease. Both of these things
he states he declined to do and the war
upon him has never ceased.
A majority OF the board uf park COM
missoners is said to be member OF the
American Protective association and of
the sixteen men dismissed by the board
a few days ago. twelve are said to have
been Catholics. The reason given for
the dropping of this force from the rolls
was that at this season of the year the
work IN the parks is slack and that the
discharges are to be only temporary
matter.
The park superintendent is named by
the park commissioners who owe their
appointments to the city council. Mes
erve owes q large share of his official sue
cess to Mayor RAIDER, who in the past has
been under considerable political obliga-
tion to the superintendent brother.

Holmes Statement

Mr.. Holmes was seen by Herald le-
porter and gives an altogether different
version of the affair.
He said that Mr.. Meserve some time ago
asked the council for an increase Of sal
airy, which was refused, and in order to
get even he discharged all the employees
OF his office who had obtain ed their posi-
tions through councilmanic influence. Mr..
Holmes claims tnat Superintendent Me-

sire to get oven with the council.

AMERICAN PRUNEs.
Immense Orchards Planted in the
Pacific States.

Immense Orchards Planted in the
Pacific States.
The county of Yamhill has trees set
out and two years old that should pro-
duce 100000 pounds for commerce
in three years from now. AS many
trees are planted in Marion, more than
as many in the Umpqua region, and
through Western Oregon nearly in the
same proportion; so that by the year
1898, with fair crops, these Western
valleys may turn off a total of 2O,OOO,-
600 pounds of prunes, while Clark
county, WASH, will turn off more than
any valley county of Oregon at that
time. A reasonable calculation of pro-
duction based on acreage of land
planted to prunes will show that by
1898 the Pacific Northwest will turn
off a total Of 4O,OOOOOO, and by the
end of century an average yield
should be 50,OOO,OOO pounds, fully as
much as California has ever produced
In single year. To give compre-
hensive idea of the extent Of this in
dustry let us survey the field in all it's
extent.
Enter the state from the south, and
prune orchards are in sight from the
summit of the Siskiyous, and spread
through Rogue river valley; they line
the waters of the Umpqua, and the
hill ranges and valley reaches of the
broader Willamette in all it's length
and breadth. Ascend the Columbia,
and they are on the shores along the
lower river, find place on the noun
tain sides, through Hood river valley
and the region around the Dalles. Fol-
low the rivers to their sources in
Idaho, and even Montana. Wherever
you go by rail or water prune or
chards are here and there as you
traverse Western Washington; or,
crossing the Cascades, traverse the
inland empire on all the railroads that
develop that grand region. Montana,
Idaho and Utah are said to furnish
good fruit, and prunes are soon to he
as staple a product as wheat, and we
hope far more reliable. If all the land
planted will bear full crops no doubt
the result will be over-production.
California alone may produce 15O.-
100000 pounds per annum when all
her prune trees bear, but 1t has never
happened that they have borne full
crops. In 1893 the output of that state
was 5OOOO,00O, and it was supposed
the product of 1904 would greatly eX-
ceed that; but the yield fell to 10000
900 pounds because of drouth and 9TH
er causes in the spring of last year.
A very intelligent California prune
grower who was lately here, whose
orchards are in the foothills near
Santa Cruz, assured me that much
land Is planted to prunes In his state
that IL not favorable to their SUCCESS.
For instance, on the west side of the
Santa Clarn valley, whence three
fourths OF the prlne crop of the state
comes, 10 per cent of the trees die
each year because tho roots reach
close s,lbsoil they cannot penctrnte,.--

DIAMOND CUTTING.

It Is a New Industry Which n,
Bringing Skilled Labor Here.
1t is well known that America is the
greatest absorption market for dia-a
monds The total annual world OUT
put is about s2O,OOOOOO. and out Of
this we have been taking $4,000, 900
almost entirely, according to the Out
look, in cut stones. The diamond cut
ting industry, however, has never
tiourished in this country to any ra-
markable extent, while in Antwerp
there are $4,000 persons engaged In
cutting stones and 5000 others direct
ly connected with the trade. In Amer
lea up to the last year only forty-iYe
diamond cutters were known to be at
work, and they were chiefly employed
in cutting old stones. At the present
time there are probably 300 or more
cutters in the United States, and they
are for the most part employed In cu-
ing rough stones. It is expected TINT
by next summer this number will be
at least doubled. The increase is due
to the fact that in the last tariff bill
the import duty on cut diamonds was:
increased from 10 to % per cent, and q
10 per cent duty was also put on
rough diamonds, which We're formerly,
on the free list. Diamonds will now
have to be cut in this country, thus
creating practically Il new Industry,
for the number Of cutters has hereto
fore been insignitlcantly small. Their.
work is almost entirely of the nature
of recutting. Cutters have arrived
from abroad in great numbers, and \
many more are on their way. Some
have been permitted to land and some
have been debarred under the law for-
bidding the immigration of contract i
laborers. 1t is perhaps unnecessary to /
say that the former declared that they
had not come here under contracts
statement naturally received with sus-
picion. 1t is reported that So 600 600
worth of capital has already been
subscribed to establish diamond cut
ting works in this country. Large
shops have already been leased In
Brooklyn and also in Cincinnati, In
which have been Installed hundreds OF l
machines. The Immediate p0ssibili-s i
ties of this enterprise depend on theal
immigration Of large number OF
diamond cutters, who will hardly /
come on 4 mere chance OF finding eNlss
ployment here. To forbid the silnMi-
grafton of those coming under labor
contracts appears to us to he a neces.

commenced yesterday afternoon. General
Sanguily denied having made any appoint

also denied having written letters to DIR.

to leave with his family while he took the
field in the rebel cause. The states attor-

ah hour, demanded that General Sanguily
be sentenced to imprisonment for life.
Counsel for the defense, Senor Miguel

for General Sanguilys conviction. He

Hill was rendered reception last evening
by the Hennepin Democratic league, and
it turned out to be a rather sensational
meeting President Martin, in introduce
ing him, said that he considered him sec
ond TO no man in the party as regards able
and patriotic craftsmanship. If there was
any exception it was Grover Cleveland.
At the mention of Cleveland's name there
were groans from some of the audience.
Senator Hill said that the recent defeat
was caused by a departure from Demo
cratic precedent. He urged the local Dem
ocrats to organize, and gave them some
practical advice. His spirit of friendly in
terest manifested clearly his expectation
to look to Minnesota for support in his
quest of the presidency.

A LOSS OF $sO,OOO.OOOil.

Iabor-saving inventions or discoveries have
often been violently opposed ON the ground
that they take wOrkingmen's bread out of
their mouths Although experience has
shown the fallacy of that theory the feeling
or fear was natural.
But it is not SO much the lack of work as
the inability to work that causes poverty
and suffering. In England and Wales every
wOrkingman averages ten days of sickness
every year. with a total loss of wages for all
of about $50 600, 600 per year In this country
the loss is much greater In all countries the
prevailing disease is indigestion and dyspepsia
and its consequences-such as rheumatism,
and other ailments resulting from impure
blood a result of dyspepsia.
No thorough, rapid and trustworthy cure
for this universal and obstinate malady ex-
listed until the Mt Lebanon IN. W Com
munity of Shakers placed upon the market

Digestive Cordial 1t is prepared from roots
and herbs cultivated solely by them. Moth
ing more certain, safe and palatable can be

body by means of the bowels, kidneys and
skin, and imparts vigor and tone to the

earnest attention to this subject, and theil

mine upon their action respecting a choice
for the officers of that body. Some dissat-

slate already made up, which leaves the
south without any representation in the
elective officers of the house. 1t was re-
solved to stand by General Henderson, of
Illinois, for the position of clerk, and the
surmise is that W. S Upton, of Tennes-
see, will be supported for the position of

THE pURYFA MACHINE MOI.


der Adverse Circumstances.
CHICAGO, Nov. 29-The Charles E.
Druyea gasoline motorcycle finished first
in The Times-H Herald contest for prizes
amounting to 5000. The contest was i'm
every respect the most novel and the per
formance of the winning vehicle the most
remarkable in the history of the motor We
hicle contests Monday night Chicago was
visited by blizzard and when the race
started the streets were twelve inches deep
in snow, slush and mud In the face of
these odds six motorcycles made the start:
The Duryea, of Springfield, Mass the
Morris & Salon electrobat, of Philadcl-
phia; the II. Mueller motorcycle, of De-
catur, Ills. the II. II. Macy of New York;
the De La Vergne, of New York, and the
Sturges electric motorcycle, of Chicago
Thousands witnessed the fight of these
vehicles against the fifty-four miles of
slush which constituted the course from
Jackson Park to Evanston and return
Five of the contestants passed through
Lincoln Park, the De La Vergne quitting
at Sixteenth street. Duryea started at s 90
and passed the Auditorium, distance of
eight miles, an hour later. He made the
finish at7;1S, completing the course in ten
hours and twenty-three minutes. For
miles on the west side the boulevards were
almost unbroken fields of snow banks and
slush
The Morris & Salon electobat made no
attempt to complete the course but made
a creditable run of fifteen miles and re-
turned to the testing headquarters in per-
feet condition. The Sturges electric mo-
tocycle abandoned the unequal fight after
the run of twelve miles. Both of these
electric motors made a surprising showing
under the circumstances.
The fight for speed honors was between
Duryea, Mueller and Macy. Duryea is an
American inventor and his motor is a
radical departure from the foreign types
used on the wagons of his two competi-
tors. The carriage with which he made
the race was manufactured two years ago
Since that time Mr. Duryea has made
many improvements on his motor, but was
unable to complete the work on the new
vehicles which he had entered for the con
test. He accordingly made the run with
the old motorcycle. The II. Mueller ma
chine took second prize.

preached remarkable sermon at the
Church of the Unity yesterday before an
audience composed of Unitarians, Univer-
salists and Hebrews. Rabbi Cries said he
objected to the form of observing Thanks
giving Day and was opposed to the issuing
of proclamations by the president calling
upon the people to meet for prayer and
thanksgiving because he declared, this
was not a Christian nation. While the
majority of the people were Christians,
a strong minority were not, and that min
GRITTY was entitled to consideration. He did
not desire to detract anything from Chris
tianitY.
