THE VAR LO.AN

Too late for last weeks Issue
came the. information that. the
bond sale closed OH the 14th inst,
and it was found that the issue
~of 5000, 900, 900 offered had been
subscribed for six and one-half
times over. In short there had
been rendered 81, 300, 900, 900,
large portion of which had been
subscribed by the common peo-
pie in sums ranging from $50 to
$500. The depositors of actual
cash on their tenders amounted
to the large sumof $75o,ooo,ooo
or three and one-half times more
than the total amount offered.
This wonderful showing IS evil
dence of the abiding faith the
people have in the stability OF
the government. 1t had the Ell
feet of spiking the guns oFthe
grumblers who have continually
asserted that there was not
enough money in the country
with which to carry on the regu-
lar business of the nation. That
the laboring people were being
oppressed and had no means and
could not buy bonds if they de-
sired ever so much to do So
The facts are that the whole
$500. 900, 900 has been many
. times over subscribed for by the
small wage earners of the land
Think of it, 81, 300, 900, 900 O.
money subscribed to a war loar
by Our OWE people without in the
: least affecting the trade or busl-
| ness of the country. What bet
ter evidexce is wanted that there
: is plenty of money? When thu
people have confidence that thu
l promises of the government viii
= be fulfilled, their savings come

TMPERIALISM,

Many tilnid souls pretend to
fear imperialism in the United
States. They continually harp
On this string, seemingly charmed
with their own discordant notes.
What is imperialism? Kingly
power and prerogatives a gov
ernment under an emperor.
No fear need be entertained,
under our form of government, of
an imperial sway, for we have no
one man whose word is law.
Here every man is sovereign,
and can be heard on all topics.
The acquisition of territory, Ill
our case, does not mean the
building up of All empire which is
to be governed by an autocrat,
but the uplifting of humanity,
the enlightenment of mankind,
giving liberty to the oppressed,
freedom to the downtrodden, in
telligence to the ignorant, and
hope to all, Wherever our flag
floats there must be peace. The
mandates of our government will
be obcyed, not by bayonets, but
by the loyal devotion of patriotic
subjects. If it is imperialism to
carry the blessings of an enlight-
ened Christian civilization into
the Spanish islands, dispelling the
dense ignorance and superstition
so prevalent there, then we vel
come it. If it means enlargement
of our borders. not for conquest,
but to elevate the races groanlne
under the terrorism, spollatlor
and tyranny of Spanish rule tina
has prevailed for three hundred
years or more, then we embrace
it, with thankful hearts to the
God of nations that we are the
chosen instruments in His hand
to carry out His wise and JUS
DEGREES.
This nation is imperial in i'll
telligence, brains, loyalty ant
resources. Let us. with a du
regard for the great responsl
bilitics resting upon us, witt
humbleness, with dignity, ant
,, with the spirit that will no
: brook defeat; with a lofty, I'm
selfish patriotism, and with
devotion worthy of our h1g
duty and with a firm relianc
upon the God of nations, go for
S ward with the sublime nllsslo
2 of redeerning mankind from tn
S greed, selfshness and the lnhr
man tyranny of the dark ages.
To be called to such a hlg
i place among the powers OF til
a earth ought to cause every Ame
lean heart to swell with pride
every pulse to leap with JOY an
0 every soul to rise to the helgh
h of ecstatic bliss.

How to Destroy Hop Lice.

s.Hon John Mimic, Salem. Or.
Dear Sir: Vacation or TO va
cation | am always glad to hear
from Mr.. Mimic, and now, in an
swer to your letter Of the 18th
inst, will say tn It | have great
faith in carly spraying of hop
vines. In general, growers are
disposed to wait until the aphls
becomes very bad before resertlng
to the use of the spray pump.
The result is that, if the weather
is favorable for the multiplication
of the lice, even the spray pump,
Eintelligently and faithfully used,
fails to hold them in check and
the crop is injured or even lost,
while if the application had been
made at the proper time much
more satisfactory results would
have been secured.
The winged females of the hop
aphis migrate from prunes and
plums to the hop about June lst
and then give birth TO brood OF
wingless hop lice, and it is from
the few individuals of this brood
that all the lice in that yard for
that season must come, i. e., after
the spring migration OF winged
females is over, which Is not later
than June 18th or Goth at the out
side, there can be no infestatlon OF
the ward from outside sources, 1t.
thereto, e, follows that, If by early
spraying between June Goth and
july 1st. we can destroy the lndl
viduals of the first brood, here
can be no great development o
| lice during the rest of the season
or course, it will be said that al
this time the lice are always Very
scarce and that one cannot tel
whether they will be abundant
enough to do any damage during
, the season or not. which is all very
-, true. However,. one must bear II
mind that very few lice upoI
each hill in June, under favorable
. conditions may become an i'm
mense host in August or Septem
l Der, whereas if the few are killed
in June the hosts will certalnl.

"Now, as to whether you shoult
T spray your yard now or not, l can
not say. Il depends upon the
number of lice present on eacl
vine and upon the parasite whicl

SHEEP IND WOOL.

lii 1902 the number Of sheep
in the United States and terri
tories was 44,o30, 365 and their
feeces weighed 323,795544. In
1893, being the last year under
the. Mckinley tariff act, sheep
increased in numbers to 47,273,-
553 and wool to 348;53S,138
pounds. The average price for
Oregon unwashed wool i'll 1892
ranged from I6 to 10 cents.
The 'o3 clip when marketed was
affected by the threat of the dem
ocrats to reduce the tariff on lm-
ported woods which was carried
into effect by the Wilson act, so
that the price ranged from 9 to
II cents. From 'o3 to '97 in
elusive, sheep decreased i'll num-
bers to 3o,61S, ,o43, and the
amount of wool IN pounds to
274,375,ooo. In "a the same
wool ranged in price from 8 to
II cents. In '95 from 7 to I
cents. In 80 from 7 to 10 cents.
Tke number of sheep decreased
from 'o3 to 81 in round MUM
bers II, 900, 900 and the decrease
in wool for the same period was
in round numbers $4,000, 600
pounds. During the same per
iod the population increased from
6 to s million.
The prices received for wool
in 'o2 were the result Of the &c
tariff act or Mckinley bill, which
shut out of our markets the
cheap grown South American
and Australian grades, while the
low prices for the years 'o3, a.
'o5 and 90 are directly trace
able to the free trade policy
carried into effect by the Wilson
!, tariff act.
The Dingley tariff act of July
"a, 1897, although not passeo
until after the 'o7 clip was re
moved from the sheep, had the
effect to increase the price th'
same as the threat to reduce the
tariff on wool by the democratic
congress in '93 had the effect o
lowering the price.
The increase in the number O
sheep in Oregon from 1897 tt
1898 was 1000, 900 head, ant
the increase in wool for the sam
: period was about 1900, ,oo
y pounds, while the price OH til
> 'o7 and 'o8 clip has ranged from
, IA to 10 cents. The Increase il
the price would have been con
