Sis" He can only
do his duty in his office. The people of
the United States having undertaken
to govern themselves must work out
their own prosperity. 1t seems to me
inconsistent with the American politi-
cal system to elect a president and look
to him to do something Ito attain the
prosperity desired"
We have had large experience of at
tempts to work out prosperity policy.
There are plenty Of people who have
invented such a policy, and who are
trying to prescribe it. One wants to
tinker the currency, another the banks,
another the railroads, another the
''monopolies." another the city govern
ments. another wants to tax us some
more, and so on. Here we are in a
great new continent, only twenty to
the square mile, lightly taxed-if we
chose to be-free from strong neigh
borS, possessed of all the chances which
men ever can have on earth and free
from difficulties to an extent no men
ever have experienced before. Yet we
are grooming and complaining, brag-
ging and declaiming all at once. The
question is raised: What shall we do
to make us prosperous" We are wait
ing for a president to be elected to do
what will enable us to use our oppor-
tunities, and win the results which we
have not reached, although they lie at
our feet. He cannot do it. We are
children to expect it.
All our troubles come from the pros
perity policies of the past. We have
been trying high tariff for thirty years.
We have been tinkering with the cur
rency in it's present form-even longer.
All our policies have resolved them
selves into wrangling and struggling
over how to pull and twist these de-
vices further. Perhaps, if we could go
at the natural resources of the land
with our labor and capital without any
policy we could get prosperity. and
endure any kind of president besides.

that as the Magic was running in

TO WHEAT GROWERS.

Walla Walla, Wash, May 5, '86.
The price of grain bags manufac-
tured at the state pehitentiary has
been reduced from $4,000 per thous-
and (last seasons fgure) to $4,000
per thousand f. O. b. Walla Walla
At this extremely low price we ex-
peet to supply the farmers of the
wheat raising sections of the state
with their grain bags, and meet the
competition of outside dealers in
Calcutta sacks. Our grain bags
have not been reduced at all in
quality, but are superior both in
make and weight to the Calcuttas.
The farmers of this state should re-
alize the Importance of purchasing
grain bags from the state institu-
ton and thus sustain an industry
which has been of such direct ben
eft to them in supplying cheap
grain bags. Should customers de-
sire to secure grain bags for future
delivery at this price, deposit of
only 20 per cent. of the amount of
the order will be required, at the
time of the filing of the application,
the balance to be paid when ship
ment is ordered In payment for
grain BAGS we will accept one-third
cash and one-third each in 80 and
60 day certificates of deposit on any
National bank in good standing in
the grain raising sections of he
state. We hope to receive your
patronage for the coming season.
Address me for blank applications.

DEPOT WILL BE REMOVED.

The Commoner has it from the
most reliable authority that changes
Of considerable Importance and in.
terest to the people of this section,
and of Colfax in particular, are to
be made on the O. r. e n. railroad
in the near future. The officers of
that road have in contemplation
such alterations and improvements
as will be welcomed by the public,
and when all the changes have been
made the service in this section
will have been much improved.
AS soon as practica BILE the iron
rails between Colfax and Moscow
will all be taken up and steel rails
pat in their place. This, together
with the ballasting of the entire
roadbed and the putting in of sound
ties, will put the branch in as ex-
celIent condition as any part of
the main line.
The next step will be the removal
of the Colfax depot to the main line
on the company's grounds in the
northern part of town. a move that
has long been in contemplation.
The company will then also put in
~" at this point, which will con-
meet the Moscow branch with either
direction of the main line and serve
as turn table at the same time.
But the aforesaid changes, al
though important in themselves,
Will only be made as a matter of
preparation for the more important
step of a radical change in the local
tram service. In the first place,
the passenger from Spokane to Port
land is to run over the Pleasant
valley branch. thus leaving Colfax
TO one side, but saving four or five
hours In time. This will give the
people along that line faster and
peter service. But Colfax will not
De left in the cold. 1t will have as
good passenger service as before,
lor instead of the present Jerk
water" train between here and Mos
cow a regular past passenger train
"lll De put on to run between the
latter town and Tekoa, thus giving
MOSCOW and Pullman much better
service than heretofore.
IL is questionable, however,
whether the people of Colfax will
consider the change of service de-
slfaole, as it will virtually throw
'nem otf the main line and compel
men, IN going west and south, to
neKoa first. AS to the other changes
.ney will no doubt be welcomed by
'he people.-Commoner.

A PARADISE OF PRUNES.

Al AhAblCL VI ~ y N LD.
A ride through one of the vast
prune orchards when the trees are
in full bloom is an experience new
er to be forgotten. Some of these
orchards, consisting of 500 acres,
contain $4,000 trees, their ages
varying from five to ten years, and
planted in regular rows about twen-
ty feet apart.
No pebble, nor clod nor blade Of
grass can be found among the friable
soil of the miles-long aisles which
intervene, tesselated by the flicker
ing shadows of the swaying, snowy
petals which project on either side
from flower laden branches. Bird
and bee and butterfly are each alive
to the situation, and puncture the
perfumed air of a cloudless May
morning with song, buzz and voice
less wing.
Among this embarrassment of
beauty walks the alert, intelligent
orohardist, watching with the
trained eye of an artist the devel-
opment Of the tiny bud of the en-
bryo prune upon the tree, until
picked at the prime of it's perfec-
ton with the def hand ofan expert
In order to produce the desired uni
formity of size and shape, each
fruit bearing bough is subjected to
such thinning and pruning that
there lie scattered around the base
of tree often more rejected prunes
than are left hanging upon its
branches.
AS the eastern plum pest, the
curculio, is unknown in California,
as scarcely drop of rain falls upon
the trees from May until Novem Der,
and as there is no scorching sun to
shrivel the delicate skin of the
prune nor rough wind to mar its
contour, bough of full ripened
clusters represents one OF perfect
prunes.
In an area from six to twelve
miles square planted to fruit trees
$4,000 acres are in prunes alone.
They cover the billowy surface OF
the majestic foothills, as well as the
plain, with beautiful irregularity
impossible to describe. At pluck
ing time thousands of busy hands
are at work, chiefly those of boys
and girls, preparing the luscious
fruit for curing unner the rays OF
the midsummer sun.
The average yield when the crop
is full is about eight tons per acre
The average cost of caring for the
orchards, harvesting and curing
such crop is $50 per acre, leaving
net income per acre OF S2lO.-

Light and Strong.
a new material for trunks Is much
used by 9 Le:psic firm. It is surpris-
ingly light in weight, while it's resist
ance is equal to several layers Of the
best sole leather. A combination Of
strong linen canvas, with interviewer
cane, is very cleyerly applied for the
manufacture of trunks. The straps of
cane used in the material are about
ene- eighth of an inch wide, while only
a trif1e less than a sixteenth of an inch
in thickness. They are interviewer so
closely into the double flax cover that
they form an elastic surface capable of
considerable resistance, and superior
both in f%eNibility anddensitytoleather
The trunks made of this material are
considerably lighter than leather
trunks, and are much more pleasant to
handle than the old wooden trunk. For
travelling in Europe they are particu-
larly advantageous, as they will save
their cost in excess baggage in a short
time.
