To Employ Convict Labor

The bill introduced by Senator o. n.
Denny for the employment of convict labor
in making beet sugar, provides for leasing
conyicts at 80 cents a day. The we'll
snown fact that beet sugur-maklng in Ore
gon would be something of an experiment
is regarded by Senator Denny as evidence
that state aid in some form is desirable, if
not absolutely necessary. Apparently, the
cheapest way to extend such aid will be by
leasing convict labor, thus bene6ttlng farm.
ers aud consumers in competition with the
sugar trust. and not interfering with free
labor. The work contemplated by the bill
would be In the nature of an experiment
where different kinds OF seeds can
be cultivated and tests made for methods
for attaining the best results.

Represented. Next June or July the

this pool expect TO visit the east together

A Lhange.

Changes happen quickly or suddenly
in this climate, and one day may be
wintry while the following one may be
as mild and balmy as spring. Monday
morning the thermometer marked only
6 degrees above zero, and overcoats and
furs werein order. Yesterday it indicated
20 degrees, and in the afternoon chin
ook wind blew and the snow began to
melt. Today it is spring-like, AMI the
snow is rapidly disappearing. The tran
sition in three days from the rigors Of
winter to the mildness OF spring is some-
thing very rare; but in this locality
there is very seldom cold weather for any
length of time.

Cards o OF Thanks.

The following from the Baker City Demo.
crat will be endorsed by very many:
There has custom grown up ID Oregon,
that came from nobody knows where, Of
tine relatives of deceased persons publishing
a card of thanks to neighbors, friends and
the public for the sympathy and aid ex.
tended during the Illness of the deceased.
With all due Difference to those who follow
the custom, We would suggest that it is not
good taste. The thanks are uncalled for
and unnecessary. In Christian commun-
ity, the care of the sick and the burial of
the dead with proper and becoming respect
and decenoy, are not things to return thanks
for, for they are the simple duties of the
friends and neighbors, acts performed for
others that others will repay by performing
similar services for them. Let the card of
thanks cesss to appear.

A New Ruling.

The La Grsnde land office has Just re-
celved Volume 49, OF Land Decisions, says
the Union Scout. On page b26 appears an
interesting opinion from Secretary Hoke
Smith relating to the second section OF the
act of March 2, 1889. in which he sa VS.:
"The intent of this provisitn was to afford
Ieli-f to those entrynen who for some rea-
son had lost their land. and under the law
were precuded from making a second entry
1t was not intended to allow those who
made entry before the approval of the act
to reIuquish 1t and make a new entry. To
coostrue the act as allowing this would be
to open the way for the sale OF homestead
claims and the taking of new ones. which
is against the policy of the public land sYs-
tem."
The section to which the secretary reter
is as follows;
That any person who has not heretofore
perfected title to a tract OF land OF which
he has made entry under the homestead
law, may make a homestead entry of not
exceeding one quarter section OF public land
subject to such entry. such previous fling
or entry to the contrary notwithstanding" !"

Alone and Forgotten.

Mr.. J. w. Koont received letter few
days ago from a man who had worked for
him for several years. and who had lately
| returned to his old home In New York, that
rivals the story OF Enoch Arden in some re-
CARDS. The mans name was Oliver Lsuer,
and the facts, as near as can be ascertained,
are about as follows. During the war
Lauer volunteered in New York regiment,
and was honorably dlschar ged at its close.
He visited his wife aud four sons and then
left for the P acific coast. When he arrived
IN Portland he had about 500. and having
been absent come time and hearing nothing
from his VITA snd family, intended to 60
home; but meeting with some boon COM
panions he soon spent what he had, and.
not wishing to return penniless, continued
his wanderipgs For about twenty years
he lived in tho vicinity of The Dalles'
never writing hcm- nor hearing any word
from his wife or family. Lauer could
neither read nor write. and Mr.. j. W.
KooDtz, for whom he o ked for the past
few years wrote twice to the address OF one
Of his sors, but received no answer. He
was careful In having the envelope stamped
with The D llles address, 80 that if it were
not taken ont of the Office 1t won Id be re.
turned. Some time ago Lsuer received
pension, aud the back pay amounted to sew.
erai huudred dcilers. With this he went
back to his old home. and one day last |
week Mr.. Kooutz received word from him |
that when he arrived he found his wife had |
married again, suppoaing that he was dead,
aud was the mother Of Six children by her
second husband. He had been absent
tu enty-iye years, and during all this time
had received no tidrg. from his family The
Did scenes are changed. and without wife or
amiIy his lot is one not to be desired. His
wife can be excused for hsr acts, for not
hearing from him for 80 msny years his
ieath was presumed, and, if be did not feel
uff1cient interest in his family TO inform
hem of biz hereabouts he should not ex-
,ect them to keep him in remer brance-
4auer is now 81 years old, and very likely
will return and make his home with his
riends of later years.

Northwest Fruit Growers to Meet

The Northwest Fruit Growing Associa
ton and the Oregon State horticulture
Society will hold their annual meeting q,
the city of Portland, commencing Wednes
day. February 9th, 1895
It is hoped that there will be large at
tendance from all parts of the northwest
also that there will be every effort u.ade tc
secure good display of the fruits of our
region. To this all are asked to contri.
butte.
The intention is to organize and harmon
ize the fruit-growing interests of the entire
northwest-Idano, Washington. Oregon
aud British Columbian the best manner
and invite full discussion OF all questions In.
volved. The meeting will be made val
uable and instructive by practical discus
sion of many topics involved in hortlcul-
ture, and the advantages of every sectinn of
this broad Northwest will be explained by
representative men present.
It was hoped to secure the presence of
the American Pomolo2lcal Society 10 full
force, but while disappointed in this, we
yet have assurance from Mr. brackett, the
secretary, and other dIsting uished pcmolo-
gists from the east, that they will remain
on this coast and intend TO be present at
our convention to read valuable pap-rs and
take part IN our di eussions.
The fruit growers of the northwest will
be here in great numbers and are ahupd-
antly able to lend intere-t to the dlscu .sion
of all questions that will come before them.
