The fallowing, taken Jrtm the Ore ,gonlon of Wednesday, will, we hot, 'prove gratifying to the people of this 'county. Our county, one of the least developed in the State, nd with less than one eighth of the money Available for exhibition purposes, lias been placed in the second rank of the comities of this Slate by a jury of awards composed of fi-re diatingiiished gentlemen from differ ent states. of the Federal Vuion. The extract referred to is as follows: In their work of passing ui on the vari ous countv exhibits the t.it.cial jury found competition so close aniline show ings made w uniformly excellent th.it it whs necmsarv to split the awards. The pri of 1 1 WW for the best county exhibit .was distributed among JIarion, Coos, l.iun, Cmatilla, Wasco and Lane Coun. tie. The second sward of SM was divided among Clackamas, Columbia, Jackson, Folk and Morrow counties. The thirj award of JpUK) was divided among -Henton, Yamhill, Malheur, Vnion and fteker Counties. For the fourth award of USK there are seven claimants: Wallowa Washingtop.- Sherman, Josephine, Lin coln, Harney and Douglas Counties. v'-1fms finding of the -jury .pf awards is certainly more than any citiien of this county had reason to expect, and should .stimulate us all to persist in the good work of putting onr resources before the seekers after homes and investments. If we want good roads, better schools, and lighter taxes, this is the surest way to .get them. Let the croaker and the slan derer pass unnoticed and encourage every .attempt to build up our industries. In .this wav we will soon attain the position oi jirouunence to which we are entitled by our resources and location, and the pessimist and de filer of hiso.vn nest will be compelled to go farther back in .the woods where there will be nothing but the Uils and the owls to listen to his Jeremiads. In addition to receiving the second .award we have taken the following medals, and there are more to come, .Horticulture has. not yet been reported cm-. COLO MEDALS Oregon Lumber Co.

It is equally true that apples arc less subject to disese here than in many other lo calities, but this does not mean that anv precaution against pests should be omit ted. The excellence uf our fruit i; known and admitted by horticulturists and the people iu charge of Mood Kiver'a exhibit have been very generous in their prais?. Taking these facts in con nection with the price of improved land, which is less than one half per acre of the price asked (or similar land in Hood River district, and it would seem that bpiticulture in Coinuibiu County must prove a profitable busiuess for the in tell'gent orclmnlist. Cut we must do wmuUiing more thun raise gocd fruit. We must make the fact that we do so known to buyers and consumers. A step has been taken in this direction ; but it has not been done scientifically or with a fall knowledge of proper methods. We have .but one nurseryman in the connty, and las ex hibit has been made with considerable care, and, therefore, while his fruit is not so large as that exhibited by some others, it has attracted the most favor able comment from Judge VanDeman, who is considered to lie one of the greatest experts ou Horticulture in the country. Judge VanDeman has just re turned from judging fruit at Westmin ster, British Columbia, and the awarJj were niadd in a very careful and sys tematic manner, on the point system . A score card is used, ami the total of 100 points ia made up as follows.

Althonsh there hasn't been an aero of her crops injured in 20 year by gn?s hoppeis, and in spite of the fact that the stale has suffered more from Hoods in the last three years than she has from drouth in the last thirty, one call yet occasionally hoar .reference made lo the "Kansas grasshoppm" and hear the stale spoken of as "Drouthy Kansas." The Trusts, and others, who suffer from insatiable greed and can never get enough, should lake warning from the rattlesnake, lately found near Ozark, Missouri, self-imprisoned between two rails ol a fence. This suaku had come upon a flock of little quail, caught one 01 the birds and swallowed It. The sur vivors ran t J the other side of thu fence, whereupon the snake crawled between the rail, until it caught another bird, which it swallowed. The result was that the snake, owing to a bulge made by the first morsel, w as uiiabte to move forward, and because ol the second pro tuberance was unable lo go-t buck. Thus Its greed led to'its death. Many a man also may meet an untimely death by struggling iu greed to gain too much money or honor in too short a time. Total 100 Two varieties of Sir. Holiday's apples were judged upon this system Spitien- burgandPpy and tf-ey were founl to be perfect in every respect except in Freedom from blemishes." The sterna were broken off and one apple (which Mr. Holaday had evidently included 011 account of ita size) had a slight touch of scab. For these slight defects a for feiture of three points waa imposed, thus reducing the score to 07 points. This is a great showing, as JuJe VanDeman iu forms us that in not a single instance did the apples at Westminster score 100. But it also gives us valuable information that we should profit by in exhibiting our fruits at other fairs and expositions, j Size is ajright, and counts for 15 points. but color and uniformity count for 20 points each, and freedom from blemishes counts for 20 points; therefore, in select ing fruit for exhibit, too much im portance should not be givei. to size, and where unusually large fruit is blemished it should be rejected by the orchardist who takes a pride iu his profession.

The machine politicians, who as a rule .are opposed to the nomination of James Withycomb for Governor, unable to find any flaw in It is character are endeavor ing to make capital of the fact that he is ul K.itfli-'h parentage. The doctor .does not deny the charge. In fact he is .rather proud of it. The best citizens America has are proud of their father ,1a nd. Coming from good stock across the sea they become intelligent, pro-jfre-f ive, and patriotic Americans. Ih'-y far outnumber oar citizens of native birth, and yet we have never known any good American to advocate .the exclusion of the better class of Ger- .jnaiis, Swedes, Norwegians, or any itherof the nationalities that readily .assimilate American ideal and in a very Jew yars heroine thoroughly American Iwd. ir.
