The Late Rains.

AS we write, the weather looks more
like clearing off than it has for several
days. The late rain has undoubtedly in
jured the hop crop but not SO seriously as
has been reported. Mould and lice do
not work while it continues to rain, but
after the rain is over cloudy warm wealth
er is bad for hops. Prunes have been
injured to some extent by cracking, where
they were ripe, but the unripe fruit is not
injured much. Wheat has not suffered to
any great extent. The inside Of the
shocks where it was protected from the
rain is not injured at all, and the outsides,
although little swelled, is not materially
injured, and if it can be allowed to stand
a day or two after the rain ceases it will
be all right. A week of good, dry, sun.
shiny weather will come very near putting
all the grain in this part of the valley out
of danger, and will relieve the anxiety of

T.. Il. Geer.

1t is no doubt hard for the Oregon
delegation to decide between the
merits of the various candidates for
Office, but we think they have made
a serious mistake in turning down
T. T. Greer for collector of customs
at Portland. For no matter whether
he accepts the position of register of
the Oregon City land office offered
him or not, it is effectualy turning
him down. There is no man in
Oregon who deserves recognition so
well by the republican party as Mr..
Geer. He has kept clear of all
factional alliances, and has laborea
hard and successfully for the success
of the party. He has the endorse
ment of all the best republicans in
the state, and if it were put to vote
would be elected by majority of
ten to one over any other republican
in the state for that office. 1t is
hard for an outsider to understand
this thing, when now the lack of
harmony is the one thing barring
the way to republican success. But
the exigencies of factional politics
must be attended to at any cost-at
least so it seems.

"a TIMELY WORD"
To the Bread Winner of the
Family in Behalf of His
Loved Ones at Home.

The fact is now SO generally admitted it
needs no argument to convince those upon
whom the duty rests, that life insurance is
the oest protection for mans family, his
estate ana his old age. The question with
most men is, what form of policy will best
discharge the duty and in what company
to place SO sacred trust.
The Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
company offers to persons needing inslT-
ace an insurance policy of the most
definite character perfectly adapted to all
legitimate wants. conceived and admin

ample and undoubted security, at the
lowest cost that economy and good man
agement can accomplish consistently with

Kansas City, Sept. S.-A special
to the Times from Emporia, Kan,
says:
One of the worst wrecks in the
history of the Santa Fe railroad oc-
Cured three miles east of here at
.7:3O tonight. Ten or eleven persons
were killed, and as many more were
badly hurt. The fast mail train
going east, and the Mexico and
California express, westbound, col
lided, head on. Mr. Bryan was on
the train, but was riding in the
rear Pullmal, some 400 feet from
the cars which were wrecked. He
states that oothing but heavy jolt
was experienced by the passengers
in his coach.
Mr.. Bryan was one of the leaders
in the crowd of rescuers. He
helped to carry out the dead and
wounded, and gave the greatest
attention to their care. One poor
fellow who was badly manned,
called to Mr.. Bryan and said:
Il went to hear you today; l am
dying now, and want to shake your
hand and say God bless you. If
you possibly can, Mr.. Bryan, get
me drink OF water"
Mr.. Bryan went into the fast
mail car, one end of which was
burning, and came out with a drink
of water, which he gave 10 the suf-
fering passenger. He brought out
cushions for others of the injured,
and was everywhere present to

Shipping Fruit.

Advices from the green fruit which
was shipped east from this place
have been received, and the result is
that the grower has given away
his fruit and his labor, while the
railroads and the commission men
have pocketed all there is in it with
out having incurred any risk what
ever. This will never do. You can
never ship green fruit through COM
mission houses without taking des
perate chances of never getting any,
thing for it. This chance business.
must be transferred to someone else
the commission man, for ins stance.
If he wants to ship your fruit let
him buy it. Fruit growers must
perfect arrangements to dry all their
fruit. There is always market for
dried fruit. Shipping green fruit
must always be attended with great
risk. The grower will always be at
ting mercy of every circumstance,
and then he is deceived, sometimes
willfully, by fattering reports.
Money is to be made raising and
drying prunes and no unusual risk
to be taken, and prune growers
must confne themselves to that
method until a sufficient demand
exists to force dealers to buy your
green fruit at the orchard.

When newspaper breaks ous
spasmodically, without apparent
cause, in wild denunciations of one
faction of its party, and beslebbers
it's own faction with sickening
fiattery, it is not talking to its SUBJ

and aims only at the ears of those
who, they think, can furnish it.

Some Needed Legislation

Under this head the Lincoln
County Leader has timely editorial
in its last issue. It refers to the
condition existing ON the Siletz res
ervation under the law, and asks
for some mucll needed legislation to
set matters right in that quarter.
First, it asks that the law requiring
the payment of $3.50 an acre to the
government for the land, be repealed
and the lands opened to settlement
by homestead, as other public lands.
Second, that the timber act apply to
the Siletz lands; that lands held in
severalty by the Indians he in some
manner made to pay it's share of the
public burden. Then it has this to
say: "Some notifications should be
made in the leasing privileges, and
some more definite Interpretation of
that part of the law referring to the
administration of the probate court
upon the property of deceased and
minor Indians. This is important.
Some of the most valuable farming
and grazing lands on the Siletz are
allotments that have been made to
Indians that have since died, and
who have lefs no heirs. These lands
lie idle, going back to their wild
state year by year, a constant men
ace and hindrance to the develop
ment and progress of the country.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

President and Mrs. Mckinley
spent last Sunday at their old home
in Canton, Ohio. A great demon
stration was made upon their arrival
on Saturday.
Meat, corn, oats, barley, rye and
cotton, the six staples of agriculture
in the United States will this year,
it is estimated, have a market value
of nearly $2,0OO,OO0,000
The much dreaded yellow fever
has broken out at Ocean Springs,
Mississippi. Hundreds of cases and
many deaths are reported, and the
place is rigidly quarantined.
And now it is India that is max
ing preparations to assume the gold
standard. 1t is said she will ask
for gold loan, and that exports of
gold to that country will follow.
A North Carolina plan is proposed
for an educational qualification for
the suffrage, AID the point that at
tracts attention is that it is not
aimed so much at the negroes as at
the illiterate whites.
An English paper says the ad-
vance in wheat is "an unmerited
stroke of good luck for President
McKinley's government" and then
abuses the new tariff law. The adj
vance in wheat may be luck, but
the new tariff is good management,
and means treasury surplus on
our side of the Atlantic-Yamhill
Reporter.

hold the balance Of power in this
county, if not in this state, at the
election next June. We donate this.
