VAR CLOUDS FLEE.

Although France was once
offered the joint occupancy of
Egypt by England, which she re
fused, will now vacate the Milo,
valley, taking away her entire force
at the request Of England. 1t is
humiliating to France. but in this
case discretion is the better part
of valor. Had the hotheads of
France been successful in their en-
deavors to embroil their country
in a war with Great Britain they
would likely have been happy.
while the carnage went on-they
not being of the class that expose
themselves to danger-but France
would in the end have, been desti-
tute of IL navy, and til'u>ands OF
lives would have been destroyed.
and millions OF money squandere,l.
President Faurc and his cabinet
acted wisely in controlling the tur-
bulent spirits of the enemies of
France although they were French
men; and exhibited rare qualities
of craftsmanship in accepting Eng
lands terms. France was wrong
in entering upon the Fashoda cam
paign, and Eaure knew it. Major
Marchand. in command OF the
French, was at such a distance re-
moved from the French capital and

so slow, and required so much
time, that he became nervous, and
no doubt exceeded his instructions.
In his effort to win military lame
for himself, he forgot that sci

occupation of Fashoda. No other
course than the one adopted by
Faure and his cabinet. in this
matter, would have had the ap-
proval of their own consciences.

right and France was wrong.

McGrath in Linn, and Claude
Branten in Lane, have both been
promptly convicted of murder in
the first degree. The former for
killing a young man by the name of
Turner, near Harrisburg, who was
suspected by McGrath of being on
intimate terms with his, McGrath :
wife. The latter for shooting
John Linn and burning his body
on the Mckenzie road leading
from Eugene to Eastern Oregon.

Prompt, Intelligent and vigorous
prosecution on the part of the
state has marked both of these

that the top rock assays $1.SO0

asserted by geologists and miner

metals did not exist in the Coast
range in paying quantities.
Should Miller's statement prove
true, or the hundredth part of it,
it would entirely disprove the dc

matter, and would also prove how
very little these self same rock

The long drawn out dispute

The long drawn out dispute be-
tween B. T. Jones, former clerk
of Lincohs county, and that
county is ended. Referee j. H.
Wilson has filed his report which
shows that Lincoln county owed
Jones $330.42. An order was
promptly drawn to pay Mr.. Jones,
and he and his bondsmen exoner
ated and released. At one time
there was great deal of bitterness
engendered over the dispute sand
charges and counter charges were
freely INDUCED in, but now all is
peace. We congratulate Mr..
Jones On the successful termina
ton of this unpleasant affair and
that his honor and integrity as a
citizen and an official is fully win
dieated.

THANKSGIVING DA 7.

Thursday, Nov. "a, is the day
President Mckinley has fixed as
the day for the nation to return
thanks for the many blessings
bestowed upon US as Il people

fulness to the Ruler of the uni

of history has ever made such
rapid strides in development along
material lines or ever reached that
high state of culture, refinement,
intelligence, personal liberty and
greatness in the same length OF
time.
From foes without, from enc
mics within, our craftsmanship
has guided the Ship of State

OVERSEEING.
A Subject that Farmers Can Not Give Too
Much Attention To.

MucH Attention 10.
The seeds of diversity are being sown
broadcast. What will the harvest be?
The idea is not a new one. The writer
who advocates it now only expresses
thoughts that have occurred to thou
sands of farmers for many years. The
cotton conventions, organizations and
the influence of the press did not reduce
the acreage in 1895. but the cheap price
in 1894 did 1t is to be hoped the same

er who complains of spectators, middle
men, trusts transportation charges,
and lack of circulating medium, can
in a measure dodge these real or
imaginary monsters by producing at
home as nearly everything consumed
as practical. But after he has done
this he is compelled to produce
some one more of the staples that are
non-perishable and have a universal
market as money crop. Sooner or la
ter he must have the services of the
grocer, hardware and dry goods mer-
chant the druggist. lumber man. car
penter. blacksmith. teacher. preacher.
lawyer, editor and doctor: they demand
money and not barter for their serv-
ices and wares. He must either do with
out these convenienees of higher civ
lization or continue to pay tribute to
aggregated wealth, skill and knowledge.
Between the two he is at liberty TO
take his choice. Too much diversity
is as bad as too little. Chickens.
eggs. butter, fruits and garden
truck are O. X. for family use. but they
win not pay rents. interest or taxes.
nor bring the wherewith without a
market. A few favorably located can
afford to create this market. but the
bulk of farmers must continue to de-
pend upon the livestock and staple
crops adapted to their several localities
as mouey-getters. Seasons. acreage and
consumption being unknown quanti-
ties. future prices are in the dark; 30
cent wheat. 20-cent oats, l1-cent corn,
. h-cent hogs. and cents for prime
beef is ON a parity with j-cent cotton.
There is no more money in one than
the other. They have all touched these
low prices in the past three or four
years. and will no doubt do so again.
