The account Of the trade Of Palestine

report Just issued. says . London let
ter. Is a fairly hopeful. though neither
the exports nor the imports reach the
level attained In 1899. The prosperity
OF the country depends still, as II al
ways has done, and most probably al
ways will do. upon the fruits of the
earth. Centuries before the present
era. corn and wine and oil were
among the chief boons of the Prom
ised Land. and though we hear little
now OF the first, the other two are re-
gaining their ancient reputation. To
melons, which also were valued in an
cient days, new fruit has been added
the orange. This and the grape are
now the most important products OF
Palestine though the exports Of the
former have declined considerably in
value during the last few years. Jaffa
oranges. however, maintain their rep
utation. so that ii may be hoped that
the depression is oaly temporary.
Southern Palestine has always been
noted for its vineyards. OF the prin
cipal Jewish colonies in the Jaffa dis
trict, Richon-le-Sion, Petach- Tikvah,
and Ekron, on the supposed site of
the Philistine city which last received
the fatal trophy OF the ark. the first
is the chief one for grape growing. A
fourth colony, Sarona. also near Jaffa.
is German. In all these agriculture,
and especially everything connected
with wine-mal;lng, Is conducted on
scientific principles, and the first and
last have become really important
centers In the trade. Richon-le-Sion
has excellent works and machinery for
the manufacture of wine, and great
underground cellars for its storage.
These last year contained about 1.100,-
900 gallons, in addition to a consider
able quantity which is always kept In
depot at Hamburg.

Some "soulless corporations or the
wild West" have lately given prac-
teal demonstration in good morals. An
attempt was made In Omaha to con-
duct Sunday exhibitions. 1t came 10
grief because the railroads centering
there refused to increase the Sunday
work Of their employees. 1t is their
policy to decrease rather than increase
the number Of Sunday trains. The wise
among even the irreligious admit that
the weekly rest day is profitable both
for capital and for labor.

ties of polite life, and took 1t upon
herself to instruct them in the graces

ever one of the boys passed in front
of the visitors at the school. a strange.
puzzled expression came Into their
faces. The secret came few days later,
when, happening to stand near the
visitors, she heard this boy jerk out,

that the difference beween Beg your

present it in way that may possess
some degree of interest for this au-

Il am to speak about the discovery
and exploration cf Oregon. and Of the
earliest settlement in Oregon. of which
Astoria is the seat. Within the limits
of single lecture there is little room
for amplification of detail, and yet there
is natural human interest in details
of a personal kind; and without them
the discussion would be uninteresting

may run into tediousness and may it.

our people note an increasing interest
in the history OF the Origins of Ore
gOn.' Attention to the history must
become more and more, part of the
education of our children and youth
Our sySem of public instruction must
be depended on as the main agency In
this work. The materials of the early
history of Oregon are very rich and
abundant By invitation l am here TO
give short account Of the beginnings
Of our very first pioneers. Here, In
the vision of the poet, was the band
Of pioneers, founders of commonwealth,
the first low wash of the waves OF mi
grafton where soon was to roll a great
human sea. We are approaching the
end of the first century cycle of this
movement and the beginning of the
second. 1t is especially fit. therefore,
that new interest in our history should
now be awakened.
I'm preparation for the Lewis and
Clark Centennial there will be much
to say and do, till that event shall
have been disposed of. During the next
four years Oregon, and we trust, neigh
Dor states. also, win be busy with IT,
We had the centennial Of discovery In
1892. when Professor John Fiske was
here and delivered his admirable ad-
dress on the achievement OF Captain
