The wheat crop of Morrow county ie

been caused by the hot weather of the
past week owing to the fact that the
grain Is we'll advanced. Very late
spring grain has suffered a little but
even this was so far along that the yield
will not be materially lessened
Taking it all around the yield will be
very satisfactory. While the aggregate
amount of grain will not be as great as
last year owing to smaller acreage,
the quality will be good and the yield of
the entire county will not be far from
the million bushel mark, which wi add
much wealth to the pockets of the al

METCALF MAKES FORTUNE
IN BIG TRACT AT VENICE
Lots Purchased In 1894 for Three
Thousand Dollars Now Worth
Hundreds Of Thousands

John Metcalf Of Pauline, Iowa, a
member Of the firm of Nolan. Metcalf
g. Simpson Of Los Angeles. has made
a fortune out Of real estate at Venice
The flfty-five acres comprising the
Venice Gateway tract, which we're put
on the market yesterday, cost Mr..
Metcalf just $4,000 in 1894. Today the
property is conservatively estimated
to be worth 100000. After Mr.. Metcalf
had bought his property 1t was pro-
phesied that it would never be worth
one half the amount paid for 1t, but
Mr.. Metcalf had faith in his holdings
and even after he had been offered a
substantial advance on the price paid
steadily refused to sell.
When Abbot Kinney launched his
great scheme for an American Venice
Mr.. Metcalf quietly bided his time.
The opportunity came yesterday, when
he sold It's lots of his subdivision of
s54 lots for over 100000. Mr.. Metcalf,
besides being an eastern banker is
heavily interested in Long Beach and
other Southern California properties.

Boise Government irrigation pro-
ject Is so beset with side issues,
contingencies and collaterals that
there can be no hope of its con-
summation until the Prince OF
Peace shall come to set all things
in divine order. The Boise States
man, which is probably inspired,
now tells US that if the Riden-
baugh Irrigation District bonds
cannot be sold, the Government
project will go flewy. A short time
ago it was announced that the
project depended absolutely on the
action of the Pioneer Irrigation
District; and then, again, it de-
pended on some people who hap
pened to own more than 100 acres
of land. A little earlier, the pro-
ject was about 10 be abandoned be-

thing comes to a full stop, and,
from an inspired source, comes
warning that the entire project will
be knocked into a cooked hat un-
less the aforesaid rooster is made to

every mortal thing has a more or
less fatal bearing on this Govern
ment project, and SO delicately ad-
justed are all the parts, that the
mere slipping of a cog in the feed
pinion instantly puts the entire ma
chine out of business. Have you
noticed whether the geese have
gone south yet? 1t is possible that
right now this great Government
project is depending on the fight
of the birds, and who knows but
that some sinister old gander has
purposely led his flock astray to
the utter undoing of Government

RENoVAToR DRAKE.

One Colonel c. F. Drake, partic-
ularly described as a wheel horse
Republican, and a Seven Devils
mine owner, has lifted up his voice
for a new political DEAL" The
Col. is a patriot of the Roosevelt
Jerome-Folk vintage, and, accord
ing to himself, Islands as square
out opponent to the rule of graft
that is now making Idaho a re-
proach and byword among the
States of the Union" Bully for
Drake. His brave words have in
them the spirit of his great name
sake, the redoubtable pirate of the
Spanish Main.
In these piping times of civic
purity, a Roosevelt is hatched
every minute. and forthwith buck
les up his loins and makes desper-
ate assault on graft. If the real
Roosevelt could only see the vast
multitude of his political imitators
aud rivals, he-well he wouldn't
do 1t any more.
We are jolly glad to learn that
Col. Drake is in a mood to mop out
the Idaho Augean stables. He
candidly copfesses that he is un-
able to sanction graft, even in its
most ravishiug form. He seems to
hold In his sturdy right hand the
fag end of, 1.-The same wave of
civic purity which has swept over
the East," and which he may let
go any minute to spread over the
face of Idaho and wash her clean
OF political mountebanks and
grafters." !" There is the real hot
stuff, right from Tabasco.
Say, Colonel, you are good egg,
all right, and know your lines. but,
privately, what is Jour graft? Is
it Governor, or Congressman or
Senator9 Because, you know, if
Idaho is to be washed clean, you
are the identical man for the Job.

a'coMMeLL's.cRlTucs.

You may have noticed that some
good Republican newspapers are
very severe and rather ill-tempered
in condemnation of Ex-Governor
Mcconnell. They labor under the
sinister delusion that sufficient ar
gument to silence anything he may
propose is to animadvert on his
past. Mr.. McConnelps past may
not have been all that could be de.
sired. Indeed, few men have a
past which is free from serious
blemish. When the final account
ing is made, and the lives of all
men, even unto the deepest secrets
of their hearts, are laid bare, there
are going to be some tremendous
surprises. But, what has Mr.. Nc
Connell's past got.to do with agita-
tion for fair -and equal taxation?
1t is patent that taxation is mon
strously unfair and unequal, there
fore, It would seem that anyone
who engages in an attempt to right
the wrong ought to be encouraged
in that particular, whether his
past be as pure as an editor's
dream or as rank as a printer S
paste pot. From this it should not
be inferred that Mr.. McConnelps S
past is uncommonly bad. Thou
sands Of eminently respectable
men, who are lauded for exemplary
conduct, are secretly practicing
about everything that Mcconnell
was ever accused of. We knew an
editor whose great soul revolted at
mention OF McConnells name be-
cause it was associated with the
gentle manly sport called poker;
yet, that same editor would shoot
craps in back room with moke
all night, and turn up busted the
next morning, but all cooked and
primed to lead the fight for higher
morals and nobler aims. You
might call that hypocrisy, but it
wasn't. In the weakness of the
flesh he was overcome by temptation
and temporarily fell; yet. he recog-
nized his error and privately con-
demned himself while, for the good
Of mankind, he publicly inveighed
against all others who were simi"
larry afflicted. One OF the great
est mistakes in the world is to
judge a doctrine by the reputation
OF the man who advocates it.
About as much trouble has come
into the world through the errors of
good men as the vices of bad ones,
so the source from whence doc
trine comes Is not an infallihle In
dex to Its merit.
