A SERIOUS QUESTION.

People Should Take Precaution to Pro-

Nearly every day the papers con-
tain reports of burglaries. committed
in the business houses and the private
residences. and the value of property
taken amounts to thousands of dollars
every year, besides great loss of
human life in defending property
rights.
1t seems that the cities having the
most efficient police and detective
forces are urable to prevent house
breaking and that the residents OF
such cities are entirely at the mercy OF
travelling thugs and professional
crooks.
In the face of these facts it is not
surprising that small cities, with hard
ly any police force and villages That
have none, are often the paradise o.
wandering crooks.
In a comparatively short space nf
time this city has been the scene OF

The question then naturally presents

or not there ever can be a system in

that made it possible to protect the

Our Soldiers in the Philippines Received
no Congratulations.
A private in Co. writes to friend
ic Oregon City explaining some of the
reasons why the Oregon regiment
chose San Francisco as the poiut of
riustering out. Among other things
he says:
ut puts 1852 in our pockets and gives
US good chance to see Frisco. The
people don't seem to stop to think
what we would have lost by coming to
Portland direct. If it were not for our
parents, friends and the good people
of Oregon who have been so kind to Us
we would never think of coming back
as a regiment. To the state of Oregon
we owe nothing, and they owe us a
whole lot. We were in 33 battles and
skirmishes, and have made a record
for our state which they should feel
proud OF After the great battle of
MalabOn, ia which we lost so wounded
and eight killed, having taken the
hardest position in the whole fight
that night, tired, hungry and sleepy,
we camped with the Kansas. Minneso
ia and Montana boys. all of which re
ceived congratulations from their
state. but the poor Oregon boys got
not a single word !"
The soldiers certainly have just
grounus for feeling that they have
been neglected. but it was the COVER
cor 5 privilege to sen congratulatory
dispatches and just then ne was too
buisilv engaged in sending dispatches
to the president telling him that rather
than see the war close he would sacrl-
flee the life of every Oregon soldier,
to send a message to the boys congrat.
ulating them upon their brilliant work
at MalabOn.

Ed. R. Lemison, one of The Dalles
boys who saw service in the Philip
pines and who is now at the Presidio
writes as follows under date of July
26:
L don't know what you people think
about US boys wanting to get ashore at
San Francisco, but probably if you had
been in our places you would have
done the same. We were 20 days from
Manila, with only three days shore
leave at Nagaski. an0 besides a gov
ernment transport isn't a floating
palace.
We are at the Presidio in round
tents, with a rough board floor. and a
small sheet iron coal stove to furnish
heat. The camp is far better than we
had here last year.
We have had our physical examina.
tion and yesterday we turned in our
ordnance, so our stay here is getting
limited. AS to how we will return to
Oregon. is only conjecture, but We all
think it would be just for the regiment
TO return as a body.
Most of the boys have seen enough
of Frisco, and are now waiting pa
tiently for their discharge. We have
lots of freedom and are enjoying our
selves.

EVANSVILLE, Wis, Oct. 6, '99.

Buying of the '99 crop that attracted
SO much attention few weeks ago, has
almost entirely ceased, with no prospect
of another start for some time.
Last Saturday morning the mercury
fell to Is or 20 degrees above zero and all
tobacco standing was ruined. Fortu-
nately there was little in the fields We
have heard of some cases where the to-
bacco froze in the sheds where the doors
were open or the sides of the sheds were
loose. The warm, bright weather of this
week has helped very much toward a
good cure of the early crops.
In old leaf there has been something
of a stir. J. L. & M. F. Greene have
purchased over 4OOcs of '97 and '98;
Sam'l Grundy sold l0Ocs 81; G. HI. Rum
rill sold 140cs '97 and '9S, and F. S.
Baines sold several good sized lots. Hi
ram Foltz of Clinton purchased several
crops of hail cut tobacco in LaPrairie at
4 to 411ac straight Farm and Home.

crop commenced before plant had been
harvested, and at extra high prices

and trying to buy nice leaf, at less rates,
in the hope to reduce the average cost of
their holdings. At first they paid as
high as Csc, and since have bought con-
siderable at from Il to 16c, first-cIass
crops; then to control the crop they are
offering 18 to 23c in the bundle. Very
many of the crops will compare we'll with
those first purchased, at double the rate
first paid. Why will growers lose their
Our correspondents write as follows
"Many sales have been made to many
reputable dealers, prices ranging from
10 to 20c, with two crops at better than
20c. Sales have been numerous in town,
two crops at 20c, and one at 22c. Sales
in the eastern part of the town have
been made at 23c, ranging from 19 to
23c." Our Amhurst friend writes: "Sev-
eral sales here. The prices range from
16 to &c.," Whately: "The sales range
from IA to 21c. At Deerfeld prices range
from 16 to 20c. North Hadley prices
run from IA to 2Oc, the bulk going at
from 13 to TIC. At Enfield, CT, many
sales at from 18 to 20c. At East Hart
ford very many have sold, and prices
have ranged of late from 20 to 24c, and
