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!

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

in which none of the discomforts ou life are

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

climate, for the same icason: that Is, onr
tnilrt. wnrm rinvs are always followed by re
freshing cool nights, which makes the
climate destructive to sue germs which iu
continuously hot localities develop this re
markably fatal malady. 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

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-,

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.

Comnanv. 1'ald-un camtal. S125.000: surplus.
$75,000. Liberal rate or interest allowed on
monthly balances subject to check. $7 75
deposited each month nets depositor $200 in
two years; $16 10 deposited monthly entitles
depositor to $200 every year. 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.

May 5 some dust blew in his eye. He went
to Dr. Huff, who, after undertaking to re-

He asserts that there was dust in his eyes

HENRY MEYER'S CROOKED RECORD.
The History of Big Crime nronjht Ont In a
Divorce Suit.
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.
Meyer returned homo afterward, but only
remained a few weeks, when lie went to
Woodhaver, X Y. He went to wdrk
there for his brother, fiom whom ho em
bezzled $601. Ho next turned up in Brook
lyn, X. Y., where he secured employ
ment with a grocer. From him lie
stole $1,C00 and his employer, driven to de
spair by Meyer's theft, committed suicide.
Jlevorfinally forced a noto in Kings coun
ty, X. Y., was iMOseeutcd and sent to the
Kingx County Penitentiary, where he now
is. 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.

PORTER REFUSES A CH&RTE3.
He Draws tho IJne on tho Duquesne Col
lege's Power to Confer Degrees.
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.

Joseph Goldberg yesterday entered suit
against Joseph Golansky for $5,000 damages
for alleged malicious prosecution. The

van for disorderly condnct. At the hearing
on tho alleged false testimony of Golansky,
Goldberg was fined $10 and costs. He ap
pealed to court, and Judge Magce adjudged
