the measuring quality is a mere arbl-
trary quality. The supply Of the meas
ures should be equal to, at least, the
demand. A surplus held III reserve to
supply a sudden increase in demand
would be good business sense. 1t would
not affect the utility Of cereals whether
bushel measures were made Of metal
instead of wood, nor if there were a
bushel measure for every bushel guam
tity of wheat, corn, ETC., and a reserved
! supply of bushel measures for an
emergency. But it would affect the ia

reals if the means of measurement
demanded.
In it's representative and measuring

created. II does not affect the utility
Of the things to be exchanged If the
medium of exchange is in great or
small supply, but the facilities for ex-
change do not affect the selling

if the number Of wagons, good roads,
bridges and railroad cars were doubled
and the carrying charges reduced pro-
portionately. but the profit TO produc-
ers would be increased and the cost to
the consumers decreased by the greater
rapidity and lessened expense, with
which the exchanges could be effected.
The purpose of the foregoing expo
sition and illustrations. Of the scientific
principles Of money-crude, perhaps,
but, it is hoped Ineligible 10 the

facts. First, that the supply OF money

people, through their governments, in
order that the demands of trade may be

terial that is cheap and abundant, to
prevent gambling in this necessity of

The country is wonderfully endowed
by nature with riches; the people are
Industrious, intelligent and e%nterpris-

wealth is marvellous. With such a
country and people it is possible for the
governments-national, state and mu-

however, which has passed the house,
contains an appropriation of $179, ,597 for
continuing the improvement at the Cas-
cades, Immediately went before the

merce without delay. send you today
a copy of the sundry civil bill. The ap-
preparation and amendment refer to
are on pages "a and 85; that printed in
italics is my amendment put on in the
senate committee.
This bill has now been reported to the
senate and will come up for considera-
tion and will pass the senate and go into
conference within the next ten DAYS.
Just how soon it may become law of
course it is impossible, to tell, but
should say some time between the 10th
and 10th of May at latest; probably not
later than the 5th of May. We have no
doubt whatever of being a BILE to hold
this provision in the bill. As soon as
the bill become law, therefore. the en-
gineers and contractors will have all the
money at their command, which they
each assured US was necessary in order
to open the locks to commerce.
In addition to this, the river and
harbor bill, which has passed the house,
ls now under consideration in the senate
committee of commerce, of which my
colleague, Senator Mcbride, is mem
ber, and this same matter as to the ap-
preparations necessary toS the speedy
opening of this work is receiving his
careful consideration and attention, and
some further appropriation and provi-
sions looking to that, and will, have
no doubt, be incorporated In the river
and harbor bill when it comes from the
committee. l can assure you there has
been no derelietion upon the part of the
delegation in either house in doing their
duty and in doing it promptly, in regard
to this whole matter. We can only
move in these matters, of course, in ac-
cordance with the Recommendation of
the engineers, and whenever the engi-
neers have required money we have
promptly given. it in the manner de-
sired.
You can rest assured, and can 80 as
sure the people interested, we will leave
no stone unturned to secure the early
opening of the canal and locks at the
Cascades. Very respectfully,

orazed over Her Boys Death.

It is reported that Mrs. Daffron,
mother of the boy killed at U matilla,
has become crazed over the event. The
story is told that she was sick in bed
and prostrated with grief at the time of
the funeral, but insisted on arising and
following her boy to the grave. The
DOCTORS advice was powerless to prevent
her intention, and 1t was considered
wiser to allow her to follow her inclina-
tion than to prevent. her doing SO. She
arose and dressed, but the sight of the
hearse was too much for her mind in
the weakened condition. she was in, and
her reason deserted her. The husband,
also, is now confined to his. bed. This
was the second child lost by the DAT
fron's, the former death nearly resulting
in Mrs. Daffron's loss of reason.

The following is taken from the bull

"FRuIT-In the Columbia river valley
the fruit shows but little injury from the
frosts. The correspondents as rule re-
port no material or general injury. The
fruit trees have been filled with bloom
and the embryo fruit is now setting. To
the south of the mountains the fruit is
just coming into bloom, and the weather
for,the next few weeks will determine
the crop. One thing is certain, there
has been less injury to the fruit in East
ern Oregon than IN the western portion
of the state.
"STocK-The rains have caused the
grass to grow, and excellent food for
cattle is at hand. The stock wintered
well and are now in good condition.
Lambing is nearly over. In the section
where the snow was heavy several weeks
ago some loss to the lambs resulted, but
as whole the lambing season was sue
cessful, and but little loss resulted
fully nine-tenths of all lambs born were
