FLOWING.
The Ground is Not Wet Enough For
Thorough Cultivation.

The Ground is Not Wet Enough For
| Thorough Cultivation.
| Some farmers claim that the ground
was never in better condition than at
present for spring sowing, and others
claim that it is too dry. 1t is a well
| known fact in this latitude that heavy
SHOWS in winter are necessary to pro-
duce good crops, and last winter the
snowfall was not as much as it might
have been. With the prevailing winds
from the west the moisture in the
ground is soon absorbed. Constant
rains in spring are always beneficial,
and generally insure good crops. At
present the soil is easily pulverized
under the plow, but the moisture is
not deep in the ground, and few
inches in depth it is absolutely
dry There have been few showers
during the month, but the precipitation
has not been sufficiently abundant TO
satisfy the demands of farmers. 1t is
to be hoped that during the present
month copious showers will fall, and
then our farmers will be contented.
The low prices last year have not in
the least discouraged our producers,
and every plow is busy turning up
ground. The acreage will be fully as
large this year as formerly, and in
some places much larger. Our farm
ers are not discouraged, and when the
harvest time arrives there will be the
same activity as in former years. The
soil of Wasco is very prolific, and with
proper cultivation will produce abund-
ant crOpS.

The Company Improving The Road Along
The Line And The Bridges to be
Filled In.

The Line And The Bridges to be
Filled In.
Major J. P. O'Brien, general super
intendent of the o. r. & N. Co., was
in the city yesterday examining the
property of the railroad in this vicin-
ity. He took trip down to the high
bridge, a few miles, west of the city,
and also to some of the bridges east of
The Dalles. Since the lease of the
Union Pacific has expired the o. R. &
N. has displayed considerable enter
prise in placing the road in irst-class
shape, and when the work now in
operation is completed the line will be
in as good condition as any in the
country. When the road was built
several bridges over gulches were con-
structed, and these have been con-
slant expense in keeping in repair.
The object is to do away with the tres
tie work, and fill the gulches with
dirt. Every year there are expenses
incurred in keeping them in good con-
dition, and then they frequently burn
and during freshets are washed out.
This bill of expenditure will be cur
tailed, land the object of Major O'Brien's
visit to this city was to look over the
work and see how it was progressing.
The receiver, Mr.. Mcneil, left New
York yesterday for Portland, where he
is expected to arrive in few days.
His visit east had for its object the in
terests of the company, and the re-
suits may be expected to be seen in a
little while.

Fruit Prospects.

Mr.. Emile Schanno, who takes a
great interest in fruit culture, says the
prospects for a good crop were never
better, and without something uneX-
pected happens to injure the young
buds the yield will be abundant. The
cold weather and frosts did no damage
in this vicinity, and there will be no
loss for this reason. Peach, apple,
prune and plum trees are covered with
blossoms, and every tree bids fair to
give an abundant return for the or
chardists' labor. Spraying has rid the
trees nearly of San Jose scale, and the
Goblin moth in apple trees are under
control. With the cold storage COM
pany in operation, and good prospects
of a fruit cannery being established,
fruit growers around The Dalles have
the promise of very remunerative
harvest. This point is truly the fruit
orchard of the state, and our pears,
peaches and apples are earlier in the
market, and have a much more de-
ightful flavor than those grown else
where,

Won't Pay For Papers.

Salem Post: Secretary of State Kin
caid has now refused to allow the state
to pay for any newspapers subscribed
for by the state officials. The economy
idea has struck him since the legisla-
ture adjourned. He says that if any
officials desire newspaper he can well
afford to pay it out of his own salary.
Heretofore the custom has been to al
low each man holding Office five papers
to choose from any in the state which
he may desire, the bill was sent to
party subscribing where an o. K. was
placed upon it and sent to the secre-
tary's office to draw warrant for the
same.
1t has always been understood that
the money for these different news
papers was taken out of the salary OF
the officials, therefore not costing the
state a single cent, and if such is the
case the secretary is in error in refus-
ing to allow the same.

New Snake River Boat.

At o. r. & N. headquarters it is
learned that the new river steamer
Le,ciston, on the Snake river, has just
been completely fitted up for passen-
ger service and will go into commits
sion at once. This is probably the
finest pleasure boat on the Snake and
was built to replace the FdGon, which
was burned short time since. The
Le,oiston was run last fall as freight
boat, her cabins and passenger quar-
ters only being finished this spring.
She will commence Saturday making
regular runs between Riparia and
Lewiston as regular mail and passen-
ger packet, and will make the run
without layovers. She has set of
new chime whistles, and was presented
by the citizens of Lewiston with a
complete set of very handsome new
colOrs.

A HURRICANE.
The Wind Blew With Great Velocity at
Different Points East and West of
The Dalles.
family.

Yesterday afternoon an unusual
heavy wind storm prevailed in this
portion of the northwest. The railroad
men who came to the city on the
freight and passenger trains describes
the velocity of the wind as something
terrific. In passing over the sandy
regions east of the city they say the
sand darkened the atmosphere, and at
times it seemed as though it were i'm
possible for the cars to keep the track.
Fortunately no accidents occurred, and
as they stepped off the train at the de-
pot they felt relieved of a great anxiety.
On the river the waves rolled noun
tains high, and the old Columbia
showed her anger in a very perceptlble
manner. The good, staunch boat beg
ulutor rode the pillows like thing of
life, and appeared to laugh at their
fury. Everything was in perfect order,
and the rudder answered to the wheel
in absolute obedience. While the wind
howled around in demoniac wildness
the good ship held her course, and
plowed the furious billows as though
the elements were at her command.
She made her landing in good time,
and as she was made taut to the
wharf she seemed to say; II am queen
of the river; 1 am monarch of all sur
vey." At The Dalles few gusts OF
wind were the only unusual occurren-
ces, and the elements were not furious
in their outbursts. Surrounded by the
everlasting hills this city always en-
joys an immunity from winters
storms or the freaks of the old man of
the seasons when he bids farewell to
spring.

AsPotato Famine.

Salem Journal. Mrs. T. A. King,
who last winter successfully raised a
carload of provisions for the people of
the starving districts of Nebraska, has
received word that there are no pota-
toes to be had in that section for seed,
and an effort will be made to secure a
carload donated in and about Salem to
be sent for that purpose. This will re-
quire about 400 bushels, and the same
should be ready to ship within ten
days. The good people hereabouts
will no doubt come to the rescue as po-
tatoes are cheap. This is a deserving
charity, and as the former effort to re-
lieve those suffering people was so sat
isfactorily disposed of, it is known
that all donations will go to the proper
hands. Potatoes can be left at the 5.
P. depot, and should be sacked if pos
sible.

A Half Century Since He First Settled in
This Portion of the Northwest.
Today is the anniversary of an i'm
portant event in the life of Mr.. Geo.
w. Rowland, for on April 10, lS45, his
father and mother settled on the old
homestead in the Willamette valley,
where they lived until their death, a
few years ago. Mr.. Rowland remem-
bers arriving at The Dalles over fifty
years ago, where his father built raft
and on it the family foated down the
Columbia. They could make only a few
miles each day, and when night over
took them would tie the raft up
and camp on the shore. 1t was tor
tuous journey, with the cold, sleety
rain and heavy winds, and when they
reached the Cascades they turned the
raft loose and made the journey to the
settlements in wagon. This portion
of the state at that time had few inhab-
itants, and between here and the Cas-
cades there was complete wilderness,
composed of inaccessible mountains
and giant and primeval forests. Mr..
Rowland has witnessed wonderful
improvement in the wilds of Oregon
since his boyhood days, and expects to
see further advancement before he an
swers to the last summons.

THE OREGON PACIFIC.
1t VIII be Built Into Eastern Oregon, and
Furnish an Outlet for Crook and
Grant Counties.

| Grant COunUless
In conversation with a person who
has just returned from the Willamette
valley, and who has interviewed the
directors of the Oregon Pacific, we
learn there is not the least doubt that
the railroad will be constructed into
Eastern Oregon as soon as the sale Is
confirmed by the supreme court.
There cannot be much doubt that the
proceedings will be considered regular
and the sale made good. If the deci-
sion of the supreme court is favorable
force of men will be put at work as
soon as possible in preparing the road
bed and laying rails, and it is expected
by the time snow flies the whistle of
the locomotive will echo through the
valleys of Crook county. The people
of Prineville are not favorably dis
posed towards the railroad, but it is a
matter of business with the company,
and the directors are determined to
have share of the trade of the Inland
Empire. This will be no benefit to
The Dalles, without our citizens have
sufficient enterprise to build road
into the interior, and thus "head off"
the Oregon Pacific. Portland and the
o. r. & N. are interested in this mat
ter, and it would be greatly to their
advantage to control the trade of the
interior by means of the Columbia
river. They can do this by building
railroads into Crook and Grant coun-
ties; but if they take no action it is
very apparent that the wool and other
shipments of these districts will seek
an outlet via the Oregon Pacific to
Yaquina Bay.

COLD STORAGE.
A Company That Will Work Great De-
velOpment of the Fruit and Vege-
table Industries.

velOpment OF the Fruit and Vege-
table Industries.
The Cold Storage Co., in this city,
shipped three carloads of potatoes to
Omaha yesterday. This is but the be-
ginning of good export trade, which
will inure to the benefit of the commu-
nifty. There are fruits and vegetables
grown in this vicinity for which a
ready sale could be made in the east,
and the Storage Company will furnish
a means of transportation for our pro-
ducers. Every season there would be
large quantities of fruits and garden
growths shipped if they could be
placed on the market in a saleable
shape, and the facilities of this COM
pany are such that with refrigerating
cars it could put our early vegetables
and fruits in as good condition in the
Chicago and New York market as they
are when offered for sale here. This
cold storage idea cannot be consid-
cred an experiment, or in any manner
a novel arrangement, for the necessity
of such company has been apparent
to every one who has made the least
observation of the means necessary to
bring US in touch with eastern markets.

New Ditch in Washington.

1t is stated that a company has been
organized to build big irrigation
ditch near the mouth of Snake river
by which to furnish water for $4,000
acres of land which lie between the
mouth of the Snake river and the
mouth of the Walla Walla river. The
scheme is to go up the Walla Walla
river on the south side few miles and
take water from that stream and run
it down the left bank until about four
miles from the Columbia. There it
will cross the Walla Walla and run up
the Columbia and parallel with it to
the mouth of the Snake.
1t is thought that such a natural
grade can be had with so little rock
work that there can be no difficulty
and comparatively light expense in
putting in the ditch. The sum of $780,
600 is thought to be enough to COM
plete the work.

The Railroad Commission,

The following from the Salem Joat1na
of Tuesday is the latest regarding the
railroad commission:
:'Governor Lord has been examining
the authorities cited by Col. Drake
and it is said finds they sbstain his
message in holding that the legislature
has no constitutional power to create
offices and fill them. The governor
upholds the secretary of state in refus-
ing warrants and holding the board
should have qualified.
Judge Willis, of Roseburg, left for
home this morning. He says the rail-
road company can well afford to pay
the commission their salaries and
maintain them in office at its own ex-
pense and prefers doing that to losing
their valuable services"
