At, 12 THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, 'SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19, 189L 1 SLOPEQBSERVATIONS Senator Ingalls' Average Is a Failure on tlie Pa cific Coast. MICATTBERS IX THE CITIES. Even Fosarty Gets Tired of the Rain Ont There. THE rfiOSPEBOUS PITTSBURGERS.4 Labor 'ot Trotcctcd, and There's All Kinds of Climate. BIG TEEES AXD PROFITABLE BANKING tMKITTEV FOK THE DtSPATCII.1 Kx-Senalor IncaUs, of Kansas, xlio is a sort of "guide, philosopher and friend," es pecially since lie be came au "ex," figures out that if the money of the whole country were equally distri buted, each one would get f80."i SO. If this be, as Hob Hague would say, true "pro rashio," then I opine that a great many citi zen on the "Slope" cities do no. meet the Ingallian require, ments of a general average, ns I met very manr"fei,o"citizeni' out there who. judging from their raiment and their eloquent pleas for bread and work, would be but too will ing to exchange the Inralls pro rata lor an ordinary 25-cent lunch. The initial cut shows a fine, heallhy specimen you might meet on nearly every prominent street corner in any of the "made" cities out there a true Melican ilicanber who in the industrial economy is neither "fish, kettle nor bait." The trouble is not so much with rural laborers unable to get work as with land owners unable to get help. Land ownership and independence do not seem to draw the "dwellers in the cities" out here in sufficient numbers to meet present re quirements. It might be supposed that tree land would be an irresistible magnet, but it has materially fniledto "magnetize." For 25 years homesteads Iiave been of fered to the poor under favorable conditions and yet the ranks of the poor in the big cities are alwavs full. The trouble seems to be not so much in the accumula tion of capital as in the accumulation of labor. Millions of acres capable of sup porting millions of men can be had for the asking, but nobody wants them. Labor ac cumulates in the great manufacturing and commercial centers and insists upon stay ing there. This results in congestion and competition, and a constant struggle to keep up wages. But I'eir Simpson Men. If there is one redeeming feature more than another on the Slop it'is the unanim itv with which the voters in the agricultural ufstricts tabop Jerry Simpson and his method of turning the Govern ment into a national pawnshop. Conservative fanners who do consid erable of their own thinking after sundown do not care to lake chances on a system where watermelons are taken as collateral, and Government loans are made on peiishablc products. Governor Pen noycr, of Oregon, iu a recent semi-official paper, while not acreeing with Jerry's methods takes ground in favor of a Govern ment loan at 4 per cent on farm laud, and says: Tlie main argument ajrainet such a 'oolicy isliased upon its suppose J impracticability. Thi has been answered by stubborn Incts. The State of Oregon l.as now more than ?2. 000,000 or scliool money loaned out upon the improved farm iroper!v of the state. Tim amount of the loan i iliud at one-third of the tairly anpiai-cl value of the laim. The enthe management of the loan Is confided to the State school I.uiitl Hoard, consistins of the dovernor, ecietry of State, and State Treasurer, and is without any cost to the State other than that Involved in the salaries paid the member- ot the board for then cnurc official duties, amounting in all to $3,S0O per annum. Tlie applicant pays for the examination of the title to his land and its appraisement by the attorney of the. board for the county in w hich the land is situated. The machinery is perfect and comparatively inexpcnsie, and the becurity the best in the world. Thi, it will be observed, is quite different from the method of "Sockless Jerry," but it is about as far as th. "West is tirepared to go- "Wetness and Iots of it. "The rain, the rain, The beautiful rain."' If anybody favors undue moisture with out a constitutional amendment he should go out to Oregon where he can get a chance to uc his umbrella say 150 rainy days out of ISO. Residents say it is iio inconve nience when you get used to it, but, oh my! i H Evai Ibgarty Gets Tired vf It. One local authority says of "Washington: It is the ideal climate or every American. It is free from the Intense heat of tlie East ern summer and the cold of the Eastern w Inter. In the western part of the State, along the -hoiesol l'uget Sound, the mer cuiy never rises above IMP Fahienheit, and never sinks to the zero point. Snow occa sionally tails in midwinter, but it never lies on the "ground fo- any length of time, being melted almost immediately by the warm sontheru wind which blows throughout the w inter month. In Seattle the avei age snm mcr temperature is about tiie same as that or Montteal.tlie average winter temperature about the same as that of Memphis. The hummer days are clt-ai and bright, and noth ing ran bo marc delightful than tho long noitheni twilight, which the citizen of Se attle enjoys evcrj night froniApiilto Sep tember. Altogether, the climate of the cuuntrv boidering on l'uget Sound is said to resemble that or southern England and the Channel islands. So Sar as the climate is concerned it is nn fcafe to Judge of It hv what it is the first week or month of residence in the country. As a rule the weather is very fine for about three-fourths or th time, but there is some bad weather and no reasonable petson has e v&sr w k A ,, V i I ? ' mm a&i 1 I1? WlMl k i mm I -rtftfajiiir'iiitfifr' Iff iifiiiiiffli"iiiitl ever claimed that this was or is a ptradise in which none of the discomforts ou life are to be found. Lying between two great ranges of mountains, "Western Oregon and Washing ton is completely sheltered from tornadoes and severe wind storms of all kinds, and none such have ever been known here, while for some reason, nover yet satis factorily explained, though there is at times a little low muttering, as of thunder, what would be called , thunder storm east ot the ItocUy Mountains, has never yet visited this lavored agricultural district. Teicn who are exposed to the direct beams of the hot sun, especially during any labor or active exercise, ate apt to bo affect ed bv what is called sunstroke or coup de sollie or insolation. They fall down insensinle, and often dlo in a very short time. This disease Is common on the Atlan tic border, but is entirely unknown in Ore gon.

Taken as a whole, this is a country of cool fcummers and warm winters. The Oregon Board of Immigration be nignly says: Now the fact is, that in tho Pacific Xortn west can be found anything in the whole rnngo of fertility of soil or other nat ural lesources or of climate, save only, as to the latter, a. rainy harvest season or severe storms, such as blizzards or cyclones. Hero is mountain, hill or level, timber or prairie, fertile or barren land, warm or cold winters, cool or hot summers, a wet or dry climate, and any altitude fiom the low lying valley to high plateau or mountain top, 1,000 to 5,000 feet above the line of perpetual snow. All that Is necessary Is that the home seeker know what ho wants and whereto loot for it. The timber of this country is noted not only for its strength but longevity on ei po'iire. In size it is the wonder of the world, and visitors to the "World's Fair at Chicago next year will find the big trees of "Washington and Oregon are not the least interesting of our exhibits. Up in Suinas county, "Washington, recently, S. H. Soule discovered a forest of fir trees from 0 to 14 feet in diameter 15 feet from the roots and from 300 to 400 feet high. Spruce have been found 14 feet in diameter. A monster tree was recently shipped fromXorth Bend, King county, "Washington. It was loaded on three flat cars and squared up 54 inches diameter at one end and 31 inches at the other. The diameter of tho tree inside the bark is 9 feet 2 inches and measured 175 feet to the first limb. It contained 43,000 feet of lumber to the first limb. It will be taken to the Eastern cities and exhibited until the Exposition opens, when it will be used as a beer counter during the big show. Enterprise and Something Else. Among the incongruities there are'un- Slgutiy snaniics au)omiug or opposite massive building blocks and the most notable illustration of this I find in the "velvet" pait of Portland. On one corner of the street is the Oreqonitm building, a massive seven-story, brown stone and tile building, costing fG40,000, thus: 27ic Orcgoniarts Quarters. while on the opposite corner is "Ho Long "Washing and Laundry," mossy with age TVie Great Oontratt. topped off with a dilapidated old drying lolt lor Long's "washce-washee." Prosperous PHtsburgors Out There. Among the Pittsburgers who went "West in the early days, H. L. Pittock, of the Daily Orcgonian of Portland, and broth.r of John V. Pittock,Esq.,deceased,of thcPitts hurg Leader, is probably the most success ful. He is easily a millionaire and largest owner of the most prosperous paper on the coast. He visited Pittsburg in 1882, but found the city wonderfully changed and most of the old familiar laces gone. The Squirrel Hill district, which he had rambled over when a boy, W3s so changed that he could not identify any of the old landmarks. J. A. McCrura, formerly a Pittsburg school teacher, who remembers when he was birched by J. B. "W. Mead, of the Dollar Sattngs Bank, is now cashier of the Merchants' National Bank ot Portland, and is on the road.to big wealth. James Steel, Vice President of the same bank left Pittsburg in 1860 to seek his fortune on the coast and is said to be a one half millionaire. George Hazen, Esq., the well known Pittsburg attorney, is cashierof a bank which has five millionaires among its directors, and if he dots as well in the next few years as he has in the past, he, too, will be able to draw a check with six ciphers. Will H. Kennedy, formerly Civil Engineer of the Pittsburg water works, is now a ticket agent at Portland, and appears to have his hands full of "Rock Island." Judge White's son is a prosperous attorney at Seattle, and the late lamented Kepublf-, can candidate for Governor in Pennsylva nia, George Delatnnter has settled down JZ&&:. ;, wrf ririiPi'SfliSAi Si m here determined to carve a new fortune out of the "wreck" in Pennsylvania. A Seattle papenof recent date gives Pitts burg some comfort in this : Superintendent Porter's visit to this por tion of the country has firmly impressed him with the great possibilities of this Pueet Sound region as an Iron prodncing center. His prediction is that the three future ccntersof iron manufacture in the United States will bo Pugct Sound on the Pacific coast, Bir mingham, East Tennessee nnd North Caro lina in the South, and tho Pittsburg region in tho Jforth. Labor Xot Protected. When you ask why labor is not booming in the cities, perhaps this from the Seattle rost-Intdligcncer, might throw some light upon it: The beginning of the construction of blast furnaces and tho operation or machine shops, pattern shops and foundry of the Great Western lion and Steel Works at Kirkland is now only n matter or a few davs. Another ship, the King Malcolm, arrived yesterday from Maryport, England, with 2,000 tons of fire Drlck to be used with tho former cargo in the construction of the first bla6t furnace and tho hot atr stoves, and will discharge at the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Kailroad coal bunkers at Smith's Cove. And this while the American brick makers cf Seattle, are standing aronnd wait ing for something to turn up! Profitable Banking on the Slope. Banking in most towns in Oregon and Washington is an exceedingly profitable business, as the ordinary loan rateis 10 per cent, and 2 per cent "a month is not an unusual rate in the interior. Twenty-four" per cent is pretty good interest with first class improved farms as collateral. In Portland 10 to 12 per cent would be about the rate, while up in Walla Walla 24 to 25 per cent is paid and no questions asked. The banks ordinarily pay G to " per cent for deposits. Here is the prospectus of a G-pcr-center: Building and Savings Association Savings Bank. Paid-up capital, $100,C0J. Pioneer savings institution of Tacorna. Six per cent per annum. Credited quarterly January, April, July and October. Mortgage loans Loug tlme'and monthly Installment. Others offer what is called a "liberal rate" thus: Tho.

Depositors purchasing co-operative investment certifi cates receive 8 per cent interest and share profits. Another Great Flan. "Investment bankers" here offerto do still better and give au absolute guarantee, in many instances 10 per cent, on a plan where one-half the profits above that are due to the guarantor: Guarantee, what is meant and what it amounts to: Bv our guarantee wo aro responsible to our clients forevetv dollar invested through us. together with interest. We first make safe bv properly executed notes and mort gages in favor of the party for whom tho loan Is made, and bearing our endorsed guarantee, or for investors, tho title to the property bought Is placed in the name of the party providing the funds, and a proper contract is made showing our guarantee and interest in the profits as agreed. It amounts to your being protected against loss of principal or interest, and to securing our best judgment and services by reason of our interest and liability. This would seem to have the assurance of a trust company with the profits of a, syn dicate, and if practically successful ought to be very popular, as tnere is nothing so inviting to investors as certainty and big profits. Having somewhat hastily in these letters outlined the attractive, as well as tlie unattractive features of the Xorthwest, the public are in a position to balance the ac count, and, to judge of the fairness and ac curacy of mv observations.

The testimony taken in the divorce case of Mrs. llermine C. 31. Meyer against Henry J Meyer, was filed yesterday. Mrs. Meyer is the daughter of John E. Sonneberg, of Cedar avenue, Allegheny. The career of Mayer, as shown by the testimony, was a varied one of crime. Ho- formerly kept a bookstore on Smithfield street, Pittsburg, and was mar ried to Miss Sonneberg in August. 18S3. Some time afterward he failed in business and was sold out by the Sheriff. He then secured a position as tiavellnc; agent and travoled for a meat firm in Chicago, ne noxt traveled for II. A. "Wolf & Son. wholesale liquor dealers of Fittsbnrg. While with them he embezzled money and absconded. His father-in-law had to pay $150 on his bond ana an uncie or Jirs. .Meyer uau to pay ?3jo, some of it to the Chicago meat firm, from whom he also tookmoney.

When ho kent a bookstore in Pittsburg he forced his father-in-law's name to a note for $500, which Mr. Sonneberg paid to keep him ont of trouble. Ho also spent about $l,SO0, the money his wife had when sho married htm. H0IDUCKI HOT A MURDERER. Superintendent Bugs Indicted for Maintain ing a Xnisance in Law renceville.

Judge Porter yesterday handed down an opinion lefusing to grant a charter for the Duquesne College. The application had been approved by the Western Unlvoisity officials, who claimed they owned the name "Duquesne College," a chartered institution of that name having been nbsorbed by the Western University. The applicants clung to the name Duquesno College, however.and the other side then attacked their applica tion. They questioned the power to confer degrees asked for, and on that rock their ap plication was wiecked. In his opinion Judge Porter savs he can find no law which will authorize the confer ring of degrees in the manner they ask, and he refused the application. left Her Husband lor tho Stage.
