Candidates for the assembly have
been named by the Republicans in
nearly all the districts of the state.
These have been instructed if elect
ed to vote for the reelection Of ]. c..
Spooner to the Senate of the United
States Internationally. 1t was the
wish of the great majority of the
party that the Spooner resolution
ofthe state convention making sup
port of the Senator's candidacy for
reelection conditional upon his ac-
ceptance of the platform be ignored.
AS far as the intention of the resolu-
ton is concerned it has been ignor-
ed, but it has had an effect beyond
this negative quality that has result
ed to Spooner's advantage. Had
this resolution not been passed the
nominees to the assembly would not
generally have been instructed by
the conventions to vote for his re-
election.

Penny Postage.

The deficit of the general postof-
flee the past year was the smallest
in many years, less than $I,5oo,ooo.
There would have been a surplus
but for the extra expense of estab-
fishing free rural mail delivery.
The question of penny postage has
been under discussion for a number
of years, and Congress has consid-
cred it with reference to the popular
demand and with regard to the
income and expense of the office.
It has been the general impression
that penny postage would come as
soon as the department became self
sustaining, and as the income is now
so nearly equal to the expense it is
probable that the Postmaster Gener-
al in his next annual report will rec
ommend to Congress the passage OF
a bill to make ordinary letter post
age rate of one cent instead of two
as now

Letter from Oregon.
Prineville, Oregon, Sept. II.


C. R. Taggart, River Falls, Wis.
Dear Brother:- In answer to your
queries: The greater portion of
eastern Washington, Oregon and a
portion of Idaho, is of volcanic orr
gin. mean where the rocks pro-
trude, one finds basalt is predomi-
nant. The soil is mostly volcanic
ash, rich in phosphorus, nitrates and
such elements as are necessary to the
production of perfect cereals and
fruit. Therefore one is not surprised
to find fruit trees laden with perfect
apples, peaches, plums, pears, and
the vines with delicious grapes.
Watermelons excel in sweetness the
far famed Wabash melons. Canta-
lopes are fully equal if not superior
to the best Jerseys. [ never have
seen in all my travels such large,
smooth and solid tomatoes as [ found
in the City Of the Dalles. These
fruits and vegetables are grown on
side hills and low mountains, that
appear to the eye as lacking in mois
ture, as the Bad Lands Of the Dako-
tas or Wyoming. No rain since
June, the ground apparently utterly
devoid of moisture, but where cult
waited all the vines and trees as green
and thrifty as if the rain had fallen
but yesterday. Potatoes are not to
be compared in flavor or mealiness
with Wisconsin and Minnesota;
these alone of the vegetables are
lacking in flavor. For hay the
farmers use wheat, oats or rye, cut
and cured green, unless they have
irrigated lands, when they use alfal-
ia. The crops Of wheat, oats and
barley are very heavy. Around
Walla Walla this year Is to s. bu.
per acre. In the Palouse country
of eastern Washington IA new terri
tory) from IS to 70 bu. per acre. On
the Oregon side, where many of the
fields were first crop, from IS to 40
bu. per acre. | talked with a wheat
grower of Sherman, Oregon, who
had completed his harvest of more
than 1900 acres, whose labor bill for
harvesting and threshing a 35-bu.-
per-acre crop was SO cents per acre.
This does not include cost nor re-
pair of machinery nor horses and
feed for driving the combined har-
vester and thresher, only human la
Dor which he hired, putting the
grain in sacks and hauling one half
to the warehouse. Farmers must
sack all grain west of the Rocky
Mts. This amounts to 8 cts. per
bu.; the net price averages this year,
therefore, Al cents.
My impression always was here
tofore that sage brush land must be
irrigated to produce crop. This is
not altogether true of eastern Ore
gon, as I have seen great piles OF
grain on sage brush land unirrigated.
With irrigation of course the crops
are increased many fold. My prin-
cipal object in coming to eastern
Oregon was to procure some timber.
After my experience with forest
fires in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
nv desire was to avoid the dangers.
In northern Idaho | found millions
of feet destroyed. The same is true
of Washington, Oregon and Califor-
MIA. West of the Cascade noun
tains now the sun is almost obscured

In the sem-arid and arid regions
of the United States there are now
100000 acres of land under artific-
ial irrigation-watered from bitches
connected with rivers. 1t is estima-
ted that Ioo,ooo,ooo acres can be re-
claimed from the desert in the states
of Colorado, California, Idaho, Ne
vada, Wyoming and Oregon and
the territories of Arizona and New
Mexico by this process. The gen
eral government is taking hand in
irrigation. Congress passed a law
at its last session to apply the
proceeds Of the sale Of public lands
to the building Of storage reservoirs
in these states and territories to aid
in the irrigation of these lands.

owing to the smoke west of the Cas-
cades. Navigation is interrupted
on Puget Sound and the Columbia
river. Here the conditions are diff
| ferent, the forests are confined to the
higher levels in the hills or so called
mountains. The ground is covered
with fine growth of bunch grass,
and the latest cattle, horses and
sheep | ever saw feed on it. The
ground is gently rolling to rough.
Lovely springs of clear, cold, soft
water abound on almost every secs
ton of land I was on in the timber.
This pure water was great sur
prise to me. My experience in New
Mexico led me to expect alkaline
water where the volcanic ash had
fallen but it is not true here, the
water is soft. One could drive
through these woods in a covered
wagon or carriage or ride horse
back anywhere. The timber is
mostly yellow pine with some fir
and sap pine. The quantity ranges
from $4,000 to 100000 per 40
acres. One could not select quarter
section without finding glade ready
cleared for a garden or orchard spot.
How long will these claims last? [
do not know. But short time at
best as people are flocking here and
taking up land by the hundreds
every week. Then such syndicates
as the Weyerhausers Of St. Paul are
scripping as fast as their cruisers
make their reports. One finds here
at the hotel people from all the tim
Der states, ennsylvania, New York,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
the Dakotas and scattering from
other states. Who are taking adj
vantage of this timber and stone act
to procure timber lands? Lawyers
and their wives, clergymen and their
wives, schoolmarms galore, in fact
all those who have saved a few
hundred dollars to pay for their
entry. What do | think it will be
worth? Judging by the past, and
the increased demand for lumber the
price cannot be less than two dollars
per thousand upon the stump. This
will make claim worth $4,000 to
$4,000 and | can see no reason why
it will not go three times as high.
The rates from the Pacific coast and
all points west of the Rocky noun
tains are from 40 cents per hundred
to Missouri river points to As and
80 cents to Mississippi points. Hope,
Idaho, sells its lumber at Stevens
Point, Wis, Boomers, Montana, sells
at Wausau, Wis.,, at $40 and ST.
per thousand, SO per cent. cash
when the lumber is on the sticks in
the yards. Cruisers must go ahead
and oftentimes survey the land ahead
of the locator, as the surveys seem
to have been made mostly in camp.
I learn that the sheep and cattle
men are leasing the timber lands
for pasturage and paying the taxes.
You readily see that this will make
the investment still more profitable,
as a holder will only be out his
original investment.
The Day, Morrison, and Stevens
crowd of Minneapolis stand ready
to buy all the timber of the Des
Chutcs country and pay cash.
Hoping this covers the ground, |
Your brother,

New Billing Plan
OF Sugar Refiners

New York. April G.-Those whole.
sale grocers who sell sugar will be
interested to know that the various re.
frers have adopted new plan Of
billing goods, to go into effect on
Arril II next. Under the new Tlan
the old methods Of allowing trade dis.
counts will be completely changed and
new set OF regulations will be en-.
forced. II IL proposed to give a gra'
tuity of fifteen cents per hundred
rounds from the invoice prices. and
IN addition discount of five cents per
hundred pounds to those grocers who
maintain what is known as the equal
ity plan, In which freight rates figure
Prominently. These terms are for
thirty days or per cent off for cash.
Al other trade discounts. special re.
bates and secret discounts are 70 be
Withdrawn.
The special point OF significance in
the new agreement drawn up by the
American Sugar Refining Company,
the National Sugar Refining Company
and Arbuckle Brothers Is the fact
that all have agreed to withdraw the
81 ecial rebates to grocers. II is hop.
cd that by a fair maintenance Of
prices better trade conditions will
prevail.
The National Association of Whole.
sale Grocers took the initiative In the
rlan to maintain prices. They sug.
gested to the rehners that 1t would
be wise to adopt new schedule, and
the result OF conferences between the
officials Of the Grocers' Association
end the rehners was the publication

GENERAL AND JOKERS

During the Civil War several North
crn soldiers were talking one day just
before the advance upon Corinth. A
toll, ungainly raw recruit stepped up
10 them with bundle of so!led
clothes in his hand.
DO you know where can get this
washing done?" he asked.
Two OF the group were practical 10
kcrs. A bright thought flashed into
Il cir heads and, as the sequel shows,
unfortunately, it found expression,
"Oh, yes, We know, Just go up
there with your bundle" pointing to
the headquarters of General Grant.
you will see short stout man
describing the genGral-"who does
washing Take your bundle to him"
The recruit thanked them and walk
al off in the direction indicated.
He gained entrance to headquarters
ard stood in the generals presence.
What can do for you?" said Gen
