Do You Want II!

On last Monday evening the citizens
of Antelope held a meeting for the pur-
pose of taking steps toward the forma-
tion. Of new county that will embrace
in its territory all that portion of Wasco
county lying east of the Deschutes river
and all of Crook county from Hay
Creek north. 1t is the intention OF the
citizens of Antelope to raise twelve or
fifteen hundred dollars for the purpose
Of sending three influential men to the
legislature to lobby for the county. A
petition will be circulated Immediately
(if not already being circulated) in Ash
wood, Hay Creek, Cross Keys, Shaniko
and all other places within the proposed
county territory. Committees to look
after the different propositions have
been appointed and are at work, and it
is the intention to take everything by
storm before the people realize what
they are really up to.-Prineville Re-
view.

A Remarkable Period.

The prosperity OF the past five years
in the United States will be the marvel
of the future. In that time the people
have paid the expenses of foreign
war, bought and paid for islands in
both oceans, conducted government
in the PHILIPPINES at great cost, in
creased their army and navy, expend-
ed more for internal improvements
than ever before, and with treasury
oyerflowing have actually paid out in
terest in advance and bought bonds
at great premium in order to get rid
of a needless hoard of gold. At the
very lowest estimate the war with
Spain cost $600,000,000. For this $l98,
600, 900 Of bonds were issued and the
rest was raised by the levy of war taxes
The taxes were paid without being felt
10y anybody, part of the bonds have
been redeemed and more than enough
money is now on hand to redeem all
the rest, while the country as whole
and each individual citizen has enjoyed
uninterrupted prosperity.
Five years ago on October 81, 1897 /,
the total bonded Indebtedness of the
United States was $S47 1865, $50, and the
total cash balance in the treasury was,
including the gold reserve of 100000,
600, $207, ,756, ,099. That was six months
before the war began. Compare those
figures with the report for October 81,
Just passed. The total bonded debt
was $9l5, $40, 200, only $7l, ,234,0 more
than it was before the war, while inde-
pendent of the gold reserve the cash on
hand was $2O6 ,42l, 1878. The bonded
debt could be put back where it was
five years ago, and yet the treasury be
richer by many millions than it was.
A variety of causes may be assigned
for this marvellous showing. But chief
among them is the almost incompre-
hensible natural resources of this ma
ton. A war costing $8O0,000,000 is a
bagatelle to this people in ordinary
times of prosperity, while in an un-
usual period such as we have just
passed through it has been absolutely
unnoticed, and piled on top of it the
biggest expenditures ever made by
congress have also been unnotced
The possession of such resources is no
warrant for extravaganza or reckless
ventures. On the contrary, it should
make us as people more cautious
and deliberate. But 1t is pardon
able to take reasonable pride in
the thought of it, and to feel pleas
ing reinsurance of the future in its
contemplation Iowa State Register.

FRtpAY, DECEMBER 5, 1902.

A dispatch from Seattle, November
25. saws: "California fruit dealers are in
the Washington market for apples The
crop of the Southern coast is far short
of what it was expected to be and enough
cannot be secured from Oregon to sup.
ply the demand. The apple market this
year in all parts of the country is strong,
and Eastern dealers, it is said, are call
ing for more than in other years" And
then dispatch from Wala Walla, same
date, says: "Tons Of apples grown in
the orchards in the vicinity Of Waits
burg are rotting for want Of consumers.
It is estimated by the fruit growers OF
the Waitsburg co lntry that enough ap-
pies to fill 10000 sacks will remain un-
sold this year. The apple crop there
this year was so enormous that there
was no possibility of selling all of it.
When the crop commenced to come in,
the price per box fell rapidly until it
was possible to get fruit of the finest
quality for 25 cents per box. A large
number of carloads we're shipped at the
opening of tine season and for while
there seemed to be a good chance for
the growers TO make money, but the
price soon came down and the ship
ments paid no longer" Evidently the
Waitsburg apple growers are losing lots
of money by not having housed their
apples till they could find market for
them. Apples of the finest quality are
now worth at least 81 box, and later
in the winter will be worth more.

Scarcity of Frnit Trees.
OregOniau,

Speaking of the importation of fruit
trees from the East, an old orchardist
said Saturday the nurserymen here were
much to blame for allowing their stock
of young trees to run so low that they
cannot supply the home demand. The
importation Of trees from abroad, he
said, is to be deplored, not only on ac.
count Of the liability OF new pests being
introduced in this way, but also because
of the introduction of undesirable species
OF fruit. For instance said he, 1--WE
have already more varieties of apples
here than is desirable, and it is a bad
idea to introduce more which have not
been tried here, and which may prove
unsuitable to the climate, and the fruit
not suited to the market. There are
plenty OF varieties which have been thor.
oughly tested here and are known 10 bt
good, probably much better than any
new ones likely TO be introduced. Per
sons planting orchards should select
from them a few varieties best adapted

orchard containing few trees each,of q
large number OF varieties Of apples, is OF
little value. As for cherry trees, which
are in such great demand now, none

The Oregon territorial Legislature at
the session of 1866, passed measure
promising to pay soldiers who served in
the Indian campaigns of those days 81 a
day for their services. This promise has
never been fulfilled. The few remain
ing veterans will ask the legislature con-
vening next month to make good the
promise. 1t is figured that two-thirds
of the soldiers who served the state in
Indian wars have died, and that $500, 900
would be proper sum to vote for re-
lief of the survivors. 1t is hoped this
request will be promptly and cheerfully
granted. The faithfulness and heroism
of these frontier soldiers made possible
the present conditions in Oregon and
they are richly deserving of their prom
ised pay, even if half century has
elapsed since it was earned.

The fruit growers of Forest Grove
have organized a union and hope to en-
courage growers in that vicinity to take
better care of their trees, They find
that poor and wormy fruit is drug on
the markets anywhere, while there is
always a demand for good fruit. Tie
soil and climate of Washington county
is favorable for the growing of the apple,
pear, prune, cherry, grape and berries.
BY the judicious use of the spray pump
the apple growers of Forest Grove hope
to succeed the same as Hood River.

The result of the city election Tuesday
was a victory for the prohibitionists.
The ticket that went down to defeat
contained the names of good men all
the way through. But it was nomi-
mated and supported by the opposition
to the anti saloon license element,
Other argument besides saloon license
was brought to bear against the defeated
ticket, and not a few voters thought
they were voting for cheaper electric
lights and water rates. How far they
were right the future will tell. The
defeated candidates were not candidates
by choice; their nominations were not
sought, but they were urged to run and
reluctantly accepted. It was their mis-
fortune Tor may be good fortune) to be
on the ticket that lost.

OF BETTER DAYS

Into the secondhand shops of the
metropolis is continually pouring a
stream of finely made and little worn
garments of good material that tell a
sad story of decline from better days
by those who part with the clothing.
Stylish dresses of finest cloth, of silk
and satin trimmed with lace, no longer
proper after financial reverses, go into
these shops, and bring to the former
wearers a few dollars, that, under
changed conditions, seem so much
more than did the large sums paid for
them.
And into these shops go purchasers
who desire goods better than those
they can afford TO buy in the first hand
stores, and, so from those who are
going down to those who are strug.
Cling up, go the finery and substantial
garments that are fitted to serve the
masters.
Into one Of these shops, near Her.
aid Square. recently, there came tim.
Id looking woman, and when saw her
! stepped into a corner darkened by a
