IN the matter of the clesnipg out o
Mnl oreea ditch aud properly dyhlne
the same. The seventeenth geners
assembly appropriated money Tor that
purpoae bat ooyefBor Pennoyer De
layed the expenditure.
10 Tor two years more the ditcnea
that supply the state institutions wib
water and water power have been dll-
ing 90 until In many places the bed is
high AZ the banks. The last legislature
made ample appropriation 10 clean out
the ditch aad dyke the same, but "
has not been done and how large
part of the city Ia II hJoded as a result
These bitches not only carry the water
from the santlam river 30 the reform
school and state prison, but also carry
all the surface drainage 10 the ralDy
season and some sewage &C all times
from these institutions. IL 10 very
essential 10 the health Of the city and
protection Of property that they be con
fiued TO their channels aud kept within
bounds.
The legislature also passed bill Of
senator Gesner's to build a sewer to
carry the asylum and state prison sew
age TO the river. This sewer was to
cost about &c., 900 and pass through the
city OH Court or Chemeketa street.
Much Of the property along those
streets, in the residence part Of the city,
is flooded now and will be all Winter.
In the case of Mill creek and Of this
sewer, the main reason for delay ID
given that there has not been sufficient
convict lsbor 20 do the work. The
work has not been undertaken, II 10
said, because the convicts could not
make the brick la time to put Ia the
work this year. "The superintendent
of the penitentiary shall furnish such
labor aud material ~ the board shall
direct" The board consists Of the
governor, secretary OF state aud treas
urer. In the Mill creek improvement
$1,000 was appropriated and convict
labor was to be used "as far as 10
practicable" L: is not believed that
all this work on Mill creek can be done
with convict labor. Certainly the
sewer through the city cannot be built
with convict labor. II that work could
have been done this fall, or part Of It,
and work could have been begun Oh
the sewer this fall and pushed this
winter, it would haYe been godseno
10 laborers. When an appropriation
has been made for labor to be performed
the poor laborer who has TO depend Oh
his day'a labor for his existence
ought not be- made 10 await the con.
venience Of convicts, or any one else.
In Oregon II has been too much the
custom to appropriate money, collect
IL from the taxpayers and then let II |
lie unexpended, for what IL has been |
appropriated for, from one TO four
years. We only voice the protest OF
hundreds of families suffering discom-
fort and hundreds OF lRborers who have |
no employment during long, wet
season, wnen we mention these mat |
ters. We do not wish to blame our
state officials with neglect In the mat |
ter, but We do say the people Of this |
city have just cause for complaint iD |
this matter, and let the blame rest
where 1t may.

CHICAGO MARKETS.
The Board of Trade.

Chicago, Oct. 1s-wheat was fairly ac-
tive. The conditions and the current news
gave some encouragement 20 both sides
OF trade. but the bulls profited themselves.
Gables came higher. and New York sent
liberal buying orders here. Northwestern
deliveries were only moderate. and nil ad-
vices continue TO claim a pressing demand
for Hour fer export at satisfactory prices.
There was liberal buying by several large
local operators. and. as offerings We're
moderate, the competition sent prices up.
The exports OF wheat and -four for the
past week were nearly 10000 bushels less
than in the week previous. and the prob
able increase I'm the visible supply next
week was figured at about e.oooea0 bush

The Seattle markets are fairly active
for this season of the year and prices
generally are firmly held. especially for
fancy stock. The season for fresh fruits
is rapidly drawing TO a close, and in
short time only dried fruits and late ap
pies will be offered for sale notice
axle Improvement has been apparent dur
ing the season in the packing OF Wash
ington fruits, and as a consequence the
demand increased over last season. This
question was agitated considerably dur
ing the year and growers generally paid
more attention to this most particular
branch OF fruit trade. Movement yester-
day was up to expectations.
In fresh fruits apples are in the larg

grPdes are being shaded in order TO ef

from 90 to 70 cents box and table APP
pies from 90 cents to 81
Peaches are in light supply and fun
figures are demanded by dealers. A little
stock is being received from Wenatchee
and some choice stock from Oregon.
Prices on all grades range from 80 TO -
cents per box. Grapes are in light sun
ply. but are plentiful enough for trade
requirements RUINS are pieutlIOL ana
pears are very scarce. Sales of dried
fruits are small and prices are stiff. A
large shipment OF imported figs is ex-
pected the coming week. California
stock will be plentiful in short time.
Vegetables are plentiful and prices are
weak on all but the fanciest grades.
Movement Is fair.
The produce market Is fairly active,
and prices fiuctuate but little. Butter is
in good supply and the market is steady
at quotations. Fancy creamery stock is
quoted at 25G2G cents. the latter price
being the limit. The cheaper grades also
