The assertion has been freely mad.
Of late that the democrats We're pre-
pairing to desert ;he free silver cause
in l.G0. The proof has come ia The New
York Democratic state convention
where the free silver advocates were
not even given hearing. When the
great state vt New York cont Sses the
weakness of the cause, the attitude Of
the democracy toward free silver in
1860 is fixed. Van Wyk, HOW mayor
of New York, who in 1886 openly
fought Bryan has been nominated
on a platform that ignores the aiivel
IsSuA.
OF course, the free silver men bol;eG

ness of the issne and the rapid disin
tegration of the silver forces is close a

1900 bushels of bluestem wheat TO

Cattle and horse stealing in Union
and Baker counties has been carried
on several years despite all efforts of
the officers of the law to suppress it.
Even now it is reported that an Or
ganized gang of rustlers are in the
vicinity of Lookout mountain busily
engaged in stealing cattle. Prompt
measures should be taken 20 stamp out
the rustler, and no leniency should be
shown the cattle or horse thief when
brought before the court of justice.

Fine Sheep Imported.

This morning ]. P. Van Houghten,
of the B. S. & L. Co.. arrived here
with 68 head of choice merino sheep
he has been collecting in Ohio, Mich
igan, Illinois and Indiana. Mr.. Van
Houghten left here five weeks ago,
and since then has been travelling over
the four states above mentioned and
has visited every prominent breeder
of merino sheep in those states. From
their fiocks he selected the sheep
which he brought home witt him. and
as he is an excellent judge of sheep, it
is safe to say that this Importation
comprises the best sheep ever brought
to Oregon. In the shipment are %
bucks, part of which are Rom bouel-
cites and part Delaines, and 50 yearl
ing ewes, all Delaines. The sheep are
to be taken to the B. S. & L. stock

Prune SHIPMENTS.

The owners of the most extensive Or
chards in this neigh borhood are pre-
pairing their fruit for shipment.
Several carloads of green prunes of
the Italian and Hungarian varieties
will be ready for shipment to Eastern
markets this week. In Douglas
county, Clarence Galley, former
resident ana thoroughly reliable is
paying 81 cents per pound for the best
grades Of dried prunes for the St.
Louis market, and 81 cents for second
grade. He is securing many carloads
and the price is certainly fair one to
people who in the past haYe had the
experience of losing their fruit and pay
ing'freight bills on account of shipping
to unknown commission merchants.

Regarding Astoria .

The Astorian is angry with the rail-
roads and vents its spleen upon the
Oregouian becouse Astoria is not
placed on the same footing as ter
minal point as Portland, Tacoma and
Seattle. The contention of the AS
torian may be just-but it We uld re-
quire that the great transcontinental
lines should throw business to the new
Astoria railroad which they have no
difficulty in handling themselves
This is practical. business age and
no one is more aware of the fact than
railroad companies. What sense
would there be in the o. F.. & IN. for
instance, delivering grain in Astoria
at the same rate as in Portland. 1t
would simply be taking from it's own
resources to pay the extra haul to an
other railroad. Let the Astoria busi-
ness men build elevators and put on
river boats to tap the great Inland EN-
pire and when they have commanded
trade the railroads will be forced to
their terms. There is no use of railing
at the Oregonian about it, even if it is
customary for US. the country press, to
regard the big daily as selfish and i'm
perious.
