Fourteen months of development
work in a mine. pushed forward by a
good force of miners. makes a great
change in a property. ard that is the
way the Mason Valley property of
Yerington impresses A. l.. Jacobs,
saws the Salt Lake Tribune. Mr.. ia
cobs has just returned from his first
inspection of this mine in over a
wear. and as a result of his visit he
states that he never before fell 80
confident in the Mason Valley and its
future usefulness. A year ago the
ore body was only imperfectly OPP
ened UP owing to the lack of time,
but now the showing is one that ere
ates enthusiasm in all who see it.
Mr.. Jacobs states that the ore body
on the 800 cot level has been eros
cut for 100 feet, and drifted on m
to date for 50 feet. An idea OF IL
thickness of the vein can BE- had
from the fact that the COMPANY has

nor are manufacturers disposed TO
operate more extensively. In fact.
some net curtailment of output is
noted, and more reductions In wages
nave occurred, particularly at textile
plants. There is an increased de-
mand for farm hands and some dis
puted wage scales have been signed,
pnt ilttie change can be discerned in
the total number of unemployed.
Postponed structural work is start
ed very slowly.
Only a moderate tonnage of pig
iron has been taken during the past
week and merchant furnaces have
made concessions in order to get bus
mess, but the meeting of iron pro-
dneers has tended to steady the mar
ket. Some sales for export are re-
corded, although much less foreign
business has been eonsummated than
was at first stated. Furnaces in the
P1ttsburg region produce little
more freely, but new orders are not
as frequent as during the first three
months of the year. In finished steel
the lighter lines, such as tin plate
and wire products, still command
most attention and there is considr
cradle business pending in pipe for
all interests on the Pacific coast.
The markets for textile goods are
better because more bills are being
discounted, but jobbers are doing
limited business and reports from
road men are not gratifying. The
chief drawback in the cotton goods
situation is the question of quota
tons. concessions being granted SO
readily that purchasers are naturally
confined 10 immediate needs. Nego-
tiations for cotton goods that were
nearing consummation have been
dropped because of the further Sc
we're fall in price of raw material.
There is no encouragement in the
outlook for export trade in the near
future.

TARIFF REVISION STRUGGLE.

Both parties, republican and demo
cratic, are to stand for tariff revision
this year. and it is we'll to realize at
once that the WORK of revision is sure
to be full of difficulties. 1t is not
merely that the professional stand
patters will resist any and every
change in their determination to yield
nothing, but every industry that may
be affected will be heard from and
fight stutbornly against any lowering
of duties by which it may te affected.
For a hint of what is TO occur we
may refer to an agitation that has
already begun in California. On the
prospect of revision plank in the re-
publican platform leading rural pa
per of the Pacific coast reported that
California producers were properly
getting together to make sure that
whatever revision might be under
taken it would be of the right sort from
Oalifornia's point of view. A confer
ence was called to meet at San Fran
cisco July 16, the California promo
tion committee has been summoned to
take action and everv effort will be
made to protect the producers at the
meetings of tho ways aud means COM
mittee of the house.
1t would not require great gift of
prophecy to present pretty accurate
idea of what the campaign of resist
ance is to be later on, but our illustra-
tion is interesting because it shows
how swiftly the alarm has been raised.
aud we may expect that the prelimi-
naries in California will be repeated
elsewhere. Furthermore, there will be
equal stubbornness, no matter whether
the cause is meritorious or not.
For that reason the friends of re-
vision should prepare at once for the
fray. They should equip themselves
so thoroughly that they may be able
to go before the committee of congress
and make clear and convincing show
ing in every case in which they be-
lieve that the tariff Is inexcusably
high. Otherwise they can make lit
tie hesdway against the we'll organized
forces of the opposition. Chicago

necessary measure. 1t is in force in
Wisconsin, and though the railroads
fought it there, as elsewhere, they
finally submitted. and found that as
long as they did business honestly and
on the square the law did not hurt
them at all. Why should it? If a
railroads stock has not been watered,
if it is not compelling the public to
pay interest and perhaps big dividends
on fictitious valuations, it has nothing
to Fl ar. No railroad commission at to
serve as such is going to be unjust or
unfair to the railroads or try to cripple
them. On the contrary the people
desire the railroads to succeed and that
all should prosper fairly together.
What the people object to is being
over charged on false valuations and
unjust determinations. That the rail
roads fight this valuation movement
furnishes foundation for the suspicion
that they are taking unfair advantage
of the people.
The public has right to know, and
in order intelligently to regulate rates
for this is what must in many cases
be done-must know what the value
Of the railroads. property is-what the
railroads and their equipment cost,
or rather, what it would cost to re-
place them now. The peoples COM
mission having asoertaiped this, it will
have laid large part of good foun-
dation for determining what freight
rates ought TO be. Senator La Fol-
ette's idea on this subject is wholly
and clearly right and reasonable, and
we can see no good reason for the Chi
cago convention rejecting it. Portland

CONFEDERATE AT ARMY HFAD.

On the sentimental side there is
something pleasing in the presence of
an OK Confederate soldier at the head
of the war department just as Is years
ago there was something pleasing in
the presence of an ex-Confederate SOL
dieI at the head of the navy depart
ment. Colonel Her bert of Alabama
administered his trust we'll and Cen
eral Wright of Tennessee is certain to
win approval. The war is over and
has been these many years past. Be-
ginning back in General Grants day
many places of high grade have been
found for men who wore the uniform
of the Confederacy. The assertion
that not until Mr.. Cleveland entered
the White House was the south ad-
mitted to anything like fellowship in
the distribution of favors in the re-
stored Union has nothing to rest upon.
Grant, Hayes, Arthur, Harrison and
Mckinley all picked ex-Confederates
of important appointments, and MIR.
Roosevelt has repeatedly done 50.
1t is on the practical side that the
appointment of General Wright de-
serves most consideration. The new
secretary takes office familiar with
many of the duties imposed upon him.
He knows the situation in the Philip
pines quite as well as Judge Taft him
self. In fact having administered af
fairs there later thar Judge Taft, he
is nearer to date. The Wright admin.
istration continued the policies of the
Taft administration, and the Smith
administration is continuing the pol
icles of the Wright administration.
There has been no break and will be
none if Judge Taft is elected president.
The military features of the situa-
tion in Cuba and Panama are easily
digestible by a man of General
Wright's training, and as, like Judge
Taft, he is lawyer with experience
on the bench, he should have no diff
oulties with questions calling for an
Interpretation of the law.
As soldier General Wright saw SER
vice quite young. His mature powers
have been exercised in civil affairs,
and with great credit to himself. His
work in Memphis in the yellow fever
epidemic of 1878 marked him as a
citizen of the first mold. He remain
ed with his people sucooring the sick
and preserving law and order in the
panic stricken town and in the end
contracted the fever himself. There
was something quite as heroic in that
as in facing death in battle. Judge
Taft successor in the war department
is altogeter worthy of his important
post. - Washington I'd. o. Star.

Judge Davis handed down writ
last week, says the Vale Oriano. ask
ing the county court to change the or
der regarding the closing of saloons in
Vale. Also another regarding Ontario.
While this order would have the effect
of keeping open the saloons in these
two towns the city councils of both
towns will undoubtedly refuse to issue
license for the saloons to run and the
result will be identical, as il the man
date had not been sent down by the
circuit judge. The judge issues the
writ upon the ground that the city
charters gave these towns special H.
oense to regulate saloons and that they
are subject to the local laws. This is
the same decision handed down by him
two years ago and the points raised
have never been squarely before the
supreme court. We believe the judges
contention will be found to follow the
law but the supreme court may extend
the scope of the local option law by
holding that as the people have voted
dry the territory should be dry because
there is no higher law than that of the
people.

The Umatilla county court has voted
the $1,000 appropriation for the Una
tilla- Morrow County District fair
which will be held in Pendleton the
latter part of September next. During
each of the two years the district fair
has been held the county has given
$1,000 for the purpose of maintaining
a county exhibit. This is we'll and
good and no doubt the county can
afford it. However, in the light of
this appropriation, the paltry sum the

Walla Walla river, that their little
patches of land might be saved from
destruction, is outlined in insignificant
