Surveyors At CiSpus Pass.

The Glaciers prediction that the par
ty Of surveyors, which came here two
weeks ago from Seattle and went to
Glenwood, Wash, with the intention of
going into the mountains from there
with pack horses, were Northern Pacific
men, has been strengthened by
Jim Langille, who was IN from the
Mccoy creek mines last week, and re-
ported that the same surveying party
is at work in the Cispus pass.
Mr.. Langille had an idea they repre-
sented Great Northern interests, but it is
not plain why this company should seek
such route to Portlaud. The North
ern Pacific has been known to be sex.
ing a Columbia River outlet ever since
that road made the mistake of accept
ing the route over the Cascades as picked
out by Henry Willard.
The Northern Pacific is said to have
made survey to the north of Mount
Adams 10 years ago. Mr.. Langille was
told that another surveying party was
was working west from the Yakima
country. IT this is 80, makes it almost
certain that the party is laying out a
proposed route for this road over the
mountains and down TO Portland.
The Cispus pass is near the headwa-
ters of the Cowlitz river, and is the only
pass through the mountains in this part
Of the Cascades.

Back to the Cabbage Patch.

One OF the distinct features of the age
is the tendency to return TO agriculture.
Where few years ago the farmer boys
were rushing to the cities to crowd the
professions, there is now decided move
In the other direction. The natural re-
action that must always follow q move
ment so radical in some measure, ac.
counts for the disposition TO return to
the soil for a livelihood, put there
is more.
The agriculturist has become a pro-
iessional man. The college and the un-
iversity have added a special course for
his benefit, and given him degree.
He is a botanist and a chemist, and
science has taught him TO taxa in the
iaded and worn-out farm, aud with in
te!ligence cause it TO blossom like the
rose. The dispiriting labor which bent
the form OF the elders and sent the lads
scurrying cityward has been lightened
by devices that better accomplish the
end sought.
The long hours are shortened, and
the farmer finds time TO indulge IN the
enioyments Of life. This new condition,
added to the fascination OF ofindependence,
has turned many men from their pro-
fessioas toward the country, carving
with them the mannerism OF their class
until the determination of the chin
whisker is threatened by the Prince
Albert coat.-Chicago Packer.

Dry Season Was Coed For Fruit.

Oregon's apple crop will be excellent
this year, according TO the statements of
George l.. Lamberson, secretary of the
State Board OF Horticulture who learns
through the various fruit commissioners
what the conditions are in all parts of
the state.
'There will be full crop of apples
this year." said Mr.. Lamberson, and the
quality will be of the finest that has ever
been in this state, as general rule
One reason for this is that there has
been no fungus this year. Disease in
fruit 10 largely due to dampness in the
air that gives life to the little organisms
that cause il, The long dry season that
we have been having this year has done
good in that regard, for it is owing 10 il
that there has been no pests in the APP
pies, and therefore an excellent crop.
"Itia indeed very fortunate that Ore.
gon should have good crop at this
time, for fruit Of that kind will be in
good demand this season, owing to the
lack OF IL in the Mississippi Valley,
where the crop has been largely a fail.
ure. That section is thegreat apple pro-
ducing country Of the United States,
and q failure there means that a short.
age will be realized as q result. Thus
applegrowers will realize better returns
this year than for many seasons.

Yes. EuiId the Portage.

Some pardonable criticism has been
passed upon the open river commission
because its operations seemed directed
at no practical amelioration Of the diff
culties in hand. These chiefly involved
the embarrassment over right of way
and the question of expense. IL was a
fair answer OF the state portage board to
say to the complaining commission, "If
you don't like the way this thing is be-
ing done, do it yourself"
And that is just what the commission
now proposes to do. 1t has apprehend-
ed the situation in its logical signifi-
canoe, has pnt the matter up to the state
board in clear and unmistakable shape,
and whatever obligation it has assumed
in a financial way we feel sure the COM
munities interested, both Portland and
Eastern Oregon, will take up and re-
deem. The names back OF the guaran-
tee are such as to command confidence
from supporters and respect from oppo-
nents.
We warn the state board that neither
Portland nor Eastern Oregon is in a
frame OF mind to be trifled with on this
question. II will not be satisfactory for
the board to take this matter under adj
visement for a few days and then report
that there is no authority for the state
to delegate its powers to the commits
sion; or that the proposed security seems
inadequate or irregular; or that the
United States engineers are unfavorable
to the portage; or that we must wait for
certain court proceedings to be complet-
ed, or that the attorney general is con-
concocting a labored and confusing
opinion OF doubt and dismay.
Insurmountable obstacles always arise
In the way of everything you don't want
to do; but where there's will there's
way. II is time now, just exactly time,
to let 20 entirely of the old familiar
method OF building portage roads and
other roads by means Of banquets and
inspection tours and maps and lawyers.
Oregon is gridironed with this sort of
railroads, and any more Of the kind are
not needed in any section that we know
of.
The want now is for excavations that
are made with spade instead of a
typewriter and carbon paper; rails OF
steel and locomotives that locomote.
Instead Of lawyers pounding tables, let
US see few laborers pounding spikes
into the crossties. We should ray that
entertainingly as the board can dictate
explanations, and ingeniousy as the at
torney general can find difficulties, it is
in order for this sort of activity to stop
short and for different sort Of activity
to begin. We all know quite sufficient
about difficulties. Now let us see some

This has been lively week among
fruit growers, especially prune raisers,
who have this week billed out l3 cars OF
prunes and will ship ont three more cars
this evening. OF the shipments made
this week, K. II. Weber Of The Dalles
Fruit Growers union has shipped six,
and Ed Kurtz, representing the Wasco
County Fruit Growers, has shipped
seven. Today Mr.. Kurtz is loading two
cars and Mr.. Weber one. The prune
crop this year is exceptionally large, but
the quality is little off, the extreme
hot weather in August having damaged
il slightly,
The peach and pear crop is up to the
standard, but so far the shipments OF
these fruits have been by express, most
of them going to Portland, there not
having been enough Of either pears or
peaches offered TO make up full car.
Tomorrow Mr.. Kurtz expects to load
out mixed car of Bartlett pears, Ital-
ian and Hungarian prunes.
While the market for fruit in the
East is fair and tolerably firm, it is not
high; still producers win realize fair
margin. OF the carload shipments sent
out this week, all have been shipped on
consignment, and as none Of them have
reached their destination, no sales have
been made e,-Mountaineer.

indianapolis, March IL. = After a
meeting fraught with argument as to
the merits of the books submitted as
samples, the state board of education
has awarded the contract for furnish
ing school books for the Indiana
schools for the next five years and
succeeded in Breaking the alleged
school book combination holding the
present contract. The contract for the
primer and the series of five readers
went to the Indiana School Book COM
pany; the contract for the arithmetics
TO ID. G. Heath & Co., and the con-
tract for the series of eight copy-books
to Eaton & Co. The contract for the
primary geography went to the Mac
milan company, and for the advanced
geography to. CHM & Co. The value
of the books contracted for is nearly
81, 100000.
Biggest Surprise of the Award.
The books had been revised under
the direction of the board of education,
and it was thought that the board
would hesitate to change a series al
ready in use in the Indiana schools,
with which the teachers were per-
fectly familiar. The biggest surprises
OF the award were the contract for the
arithmetics INK the turning down of
the proposal made by Silver, Burdette
& Co. 1t was on the contract for the
arithmetics that the most vigorous
fight was made. 1t was expected that
the fight on the arithmetics would be
between Silver, Burdette & Co., and
some other publishing house. The board
refused to readopt either of the re-
vised books of that firm, preferring the
books Of d. c. Heath. Miss Nebraska
Cropsey, superintendent of the primary
department of the Indianapolis schools,
is one of the authors of hearithmetics
published by Silver, Burdette & Co.
Her book was very popular with the
Indiana superintendents.

has held part or all Of the Indiana
school book contract since 1889. Sam
uel Murdoch, of Lafayette, is the presl-
dent of the company, and Edward

tary. The fact that so many Indiana
men are associated with this company,
and the fact that the readers have
been in use for SO long, were believed
to be in favor Of hat company.
