MIR. AStor's Expntriation.

Mr.. William Waldorf Astor does not like
this country because it is a poor mans
country" or he says it is. Whether this
means that it is country where the poor
man is too numerous. or one in which he
has too good a time. may be left TO those
who know Mr.. Astor to determine.
There are two things that are certain,
however: This expatriated American has
been doing what he can to make the poor
numerous in his native land and also 10
prevent them from having too much pleas
ure. Things have been said before t1is
about the horrible condition of the tene-
ments in some of the East Side streets OF
New York; tenements in which whole
family lives in a room seven feet wide and
eight and one-half feet long. For each of
these apartments" of three rooms, in
which families are housed like rabbits in
warren. Mr.. Astor receives twelve dol
lars Whole blocks of such tenement
houses belong to Mr.. Astor. They are not
very old property. They were built in
1S79-only twenty years ago In these ten
ements it is not uncommon for parents and
three or four children to sleep in one bed.
Such conditions are pleasant for infan
and little children in weather like that of
the past week. The money which Mr.. As
tor receives from this property he goes to
England to spend. He spends it on din
ners calculated to make the British aris-
tocracy love him. Whether they do o. not
he has not yet condescended to inform US.
! He would not like 10 entertain them in
America. because that is "a poor mans
country"
This is one kind of American represen-
tatiye whom we send abroad. He is
driven to the society of the British aris-
tocracy because there are so many poor
people here, with whom he must come in
contact if he walks the streets. If he were
to go without attendants into the street
where his own slum property is. he would
be treated with no particular reverence.
His vote would not count for any more.
with the boss of that ward than the vote
| of the poor Italian or Polish tenant of his
three-r room fats which accommodate three
families each. Hence Mr.. Astor hastens TO
escape contamination by going to England.

had come all the way from England
to fulfill her part of the agreement.
Mr.. Wakefeld's former home, by
the way, was Skagness, England.
The contracting parties are old &C.
quaintances and there isn't even a
remote possibility that they will
repent at leisure. Our people ex-
tend to the bride a hearty welcome
and to herself and Captain Wake.
field their sincere congratulations
and best wishes. In all this THE
LEADER begs permission to join. :.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wakefield are at
present making Yaquina their
home, but have not yet decided as
to what point in the county will be
their permanent residence. Mrs.
Wakefield was accompanied from
England by her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. J. Rose, who will also become
citizens. We predict thatthey will
find plenty of good neighbors and
everything lovely in their new
home.

Ninety thousand dollars will be
paid this season to those who culti-
waited the 1900 acres of sugar beets
in the valley, says the La Grande
Observer. This is based on the es-
innate, given by the factory people,
of a yield of 10000 tons at an
average of $3.50 per ton. AS a
whole, possibly the beetgrowers
will not make greater profit than
the wheatgrowers. However, this
season places the successful grow
ing of sugar beets beyond the ex-
perimental stage, and from this
time on beets will be one of our
chief products. The cost of raising
beets per acre is between $25 aad
$50. Preparing the ground. seed

digging, topping and hanling to

pense. Possibly not another oaoo
