0regOn'S Disgrace.

= VS. - -
The depths Of degradation to
which great political party u ay
descend has been illustrated in the
chief city of Oregon last week in
the struggle for supremacy at the
republican primaries.
Never in the political history of
the United States has there been
noted more disgraceful scandalous
proceeding than that of last Thurs
day in Portland. 1t was one long
day of rioting, struggling, pushing,
crowdiug and of fraud and intimi-
datiou. Hired thugs, pimps, gam
blers and all the worst elements Of
a great city were given controrl of
a great party organization for a
day. 1t was a contest between the
very worst elements of four country.
So disgraceful was the proceedings
that hundreds OF honest, respectable
republicans went away from the
primaries disgusted without casting
vote.
And the saddest part of it was
that the bitter disgraceful proceed
ings were not brought about in a
contest for any principle. 1t was
fight for spoils and nothing else.
1t was a disgraceful scramble for
the Offices; for the loaves and fishes.
On the one side was arrayed the
Gins" of the present city govern
ment of the city of Por tlard, assist
ed by the district attorney, On the
other was the "outs" headed by
Joe Simon, Harvey Scott, ct al. +,
and assisted by the sheriff of the
county. The GINS" were backed,
aided and helped by the police
force of the city, and the "outs"
by a force of deputy sheriffs. 1t
was officials against officials, and TO
further the contest the aid of all
the thugs, thieves, gamblers, black
legs and pimps that infest large
cities were called to the aid of both
sides. Thugs were at premium
and honest men at a discount. On
the face of the returns the Simon
faction have won, but for the real
taxpayers of the city and state it
was barren victory.
In fact victory of either faction
was smarting defeat for the people.
Both should be forever set on by
the real taxpayers of Portland.
If it stopped at the city of Port
and it would not be SO bad, but the
political power held by Portland
dominates the whole state. What
then, can the people expect from
such soulce. Only continued
high taxes.
The disgrace of such proceedings
falls upon the whole state for it is
upheld and condoned and performed
by the dominant party. Thatparty
is full of good men, but they have
not got control of the party in Ore
gon.

Mistakes of 0rchardists.

Mr.. G. L. Whitney, a Walla
Walla nurseryman, while at Shell
ton recently said to a correspondent
of the Tacoma Ledger:
Perhaps one Of the greatest mis-
takes the new beginner makes in
planting an orchard is in selecting
too great a variety of fruits. Take
for an example an orchard OF 100
apple trees, and you will often find
from IS to 40 different kinds Of
apples. Of course, if you are plan,
ing a home orchard for your own
consumption. this variety may be
all right, but if you are planting
with view for profit and to COM
pete i'll the markets of the world
with your apples, you should select
a few of the very best and plant
plenty Of them.
"lVhat kind 10 plant is a problem
which often puzzles the older fruit
growers, as we'll as the new ones.
This depends altogether upon your
location; for instance, some apples
do we'll in the Yakima and Walla
Walla valleys, such as White
Winter Pearmain, and Wine Sap,
while they grow too small in most
parts Of the Sound country. On
the other hand, the Baldwin and
Northern Spy. two of the very best
winter apples west Of the Cascades,
are only fall apples in this locality.
While again other varieties, such
as the Yellow Transparent, Craven
stein, Wealthy and numerous other
kinds do equally we'll on both sides
Of the mountains. Among oilers
the following varieties do extra
we'll west of the Cascade range:
Baldwin, Northern Spy, King OF
Tompkins County, Jonathan, Veal
thy, Gravenstein and Ben Davis.
East of the divide and throughout
the great inland empire, the follow
ing apples of the older kinds are
planted largely: Ben Davis, Vel
low Newton Pippin, Spitzenberg,
Rome Beauty, w. w. Pearmain,
Red Checked Pippin and Wine Sap,
where we have many new apples
which are coming to the front tc
contest for commercial supremacy,
such as the Mammoth Black Twig
Arkansas Black, York Imperial,
Hoover, Washington and several
others.
"The Ben Davis apple has warm
friends and bitter enemies. Some
people wont plant it at all, while
others plant Benjamin by the
thousands. Last spring Col. 1. N
Peyton, of Spokane, planted 4,ooc
Ben Davis trees in his Ioo-acre
orchard near Cheney. When they
get to bearing, and the tree is e
young and regular bearer, he car
load a whole train with big red ap'
pies and start it across the cont
nent."

There may be some consolation
to the sheep men in knowing that
Australia, one of their great COM
petitors, instead of constantly iu-
creasing ii the number of sheep
are on the decrease, and have prob
ably reached and passed the limit
of profitable production. An au-
thority atSidney, says: "The loss
es Of the past year have been very
heavy, We must be short OF at
least half the usual lambing; that
alone gives shrinkage of 6 ,ooo, 900
aud to this may be added 5000 900
grown sheep, making quite o,ooo,,
900 short in 1895 as compared with
the number we would have had il
the season hal been normal. Quite
as many sheep were killed and got
rid of in 1895 as in 1894, so that
probably at the beginning of 1896
there are not more than 20, 900, 900
sheep i'll the colony, This viii
leave us short of exportable sheep
for the next three years unless we
can import from, Queensland; but
Queensland is in position some
what similar to our own, having
had dry time, with considerable
josses." D" Under a later date, Feb
ruary IS, another authority, IN al
ludings to a reduction Of o,344, 900
sheep shown in the returns of the
chief inspector of stock, compared
with ehe 0egining Of 1895, says
This decrease is due almost en-
tirely 10 the ravages of drouth.
With SO much leeway to make upN
the welcome rains that haveo 4a7fasI
lately will make graziels very uns
willing to sell, and higher prices

Spring Time.

Is when nearly everyone feels the
need Ct some blood purifying,
strength invigorating and health
producing medicine. The real
merit of Hoods Sarsaparilla is the
reason of its widespread popularity.
Its unequalled success is its best
recommendation. The whole sys-
tenn is susceptible to the most good
from a medicine like Hoods Sar-
saparille taken at this time, and
we would lay special stress upon
the time aud remedy, for history
has it recorded that delays are
dangerous. The remarkable suc-

and the many words of praise it has
received, make it worthy Of your
confidence. We ask you to give
this medicine a fair trial.

UNION AND DISUNION.
Evangelist Romig breaches Good
Sermon Last Night.

! Rev. Romig preached his sermon last
night on Union and Disunion" His
text was John II, 2O-21, Neither pray
l for these alone, but for them also
which shall believe on me through their
word; that they all may be one, as
thou, Father, art in me and in thee;
that they also may be one in us; that
the world may believe that thou hast
sent me-"
This is the Lords prayer. What we
are accustomed to call the Lords praper
is really the disciples prayer. The
burden of this prayer of our Lord is
the union of his followers. No one can
work against union without working di-
rectly against the prayer of Jesus.
II am glad that the spirit of union
is permeating the people of God today
bodies are making overtures to each
other looking toward union; the whole
tendency is toward union. If we could
unite the people we could have bill
lions for the Kingdom of Christ and it's
extension.
''The great Luther enjoined his peo-
pie to repudiate the name Lutheran,
and to be known simply and only as
Christians. Wesley said, When we re-
turn fully to the divine order we will
be known simply as Christians and
nothing more"
The preacher presented very strong
plea for the union of all believers on
the Bible and the Bible alone.
At the conclusion of the sermon seven
persons went forward to take their
stand on the platform. The services
closed with the baptism of several who
had previously been converted.
Romig promises one of his most inter-
esting sermons tonight. Candidates
who are prepared are to be baptised
after the sermon.

terday with representatives of

different kinds of hats on view
These were trimmed with rare
and costly ribbons, and fashioned
into curious designs by artistic
fingers. Miss Cahill is to be con-
graduated on the creditable show
ing made yesterday, to accomplish
which required a great deal of
hard work. The opening will con,
