FOtEYSROllETTAR Cures Ootdsi Prevents Pneumonia Beautiful and Picturesque THE SECTIONOFTHE PACIFIC NORTH-WEST Traversed by the Oregon Short Line Railroad and the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company from Ogden to Huntington and Huntington to Portland The Tourists' Favorite Route. Goldsboro Headlight. No section of the United States is so rich in natural attractions as tbe Pacific Northwest. So picturesque and beautihil is the vast domain, drained by the majestic Columbia river, which flows through the very heart of it, that pencil and brush can only tell iu part the story of this matchless region. From the sources of the great river in faraway States and British Columbia, through an area of nearly 500.000 square miles, past historic Astoria, where it pours its waters into the Pacific, nature, iu the bestowal of her gifts, has been most lavish with her handiwork and pictured entrancing scenes. Lofty mouutain ranges whose snow-capped peaks defy the sun's warmest rays in July and August and look down upon fertile valleys that fairly groan with their weight of fruit and golden grain; boundless forest, ice-cold mountain lakes and trout streams filled with speckled beauties; great high walls of verdure- clad and moss-covered rocks with streams and cataracts tumbling over their sides in mad rushes to join the Columbia; fountains of marvel ous healing and long stretches of sandv beaches all combine to make it the mecca of the health-hunter and pleasure-seeker. From the East, the Union Pacific Railway, with its west ern divisions the Oregon Short Line and the Oregon Railroad and Navi gation Company carries the tourist through this scenic territory, the latter road for 200 miles following the Columbia, for a great part of the distance so close that one can look frpm the car window almost directly into the water below. At Huntington, Ore., 40-4 miles east of Portland, without change of car, the tourist is given to the care of the Oregon Railroad and Naviga tion Company. For nearly 2 hours the train speeds through an interest ing stretch of agricultural and mining country, soon reaching Raker City, the renter and metropolis of the greatest mineral belt in the Pacific Northwest, where nearly every valu able metal is found. Beyond Baker City, the line passes through the Powder River Valley, a rich agricul tural section; climbs a spur of the picturesque Blue Mountains, then de scends into the beautiful and produc tive Grande Ronde Valley of 00,000 acres, fertile in grain and fruit, and the home of large live stock interests. To the north as far as the eye can see, stretches a land dotted by hun dreds of pretty white farm houses; to the right near the foot of the mountains, and surrounded by hun dreds of acres of fruit laud, is Union, formerly the county seat of Union county. Scarcely has there been time to catch a glimpse of garden-like Grande Ronde Valley, drained by a river of the same name, when the train stops at Hot Lake. What the famous lot Springs of Arkansas are to that State and th& East, Hot Lake is to Oreo-on and the West, lor untold aires the sorinars have poured forth their volcanic heated water and the ocalitv has always been known as the "Big Medicine camp of the In dians.

A short stop at I'endietou, the seat of Umatilla county, aud the train is off for Umatilla, where the first peep at the Columbia river is obtained Fpd bv everlasting snow-helds ana o-laciers. historic in interest, it winds its way through the Northwest erowiujr in size until at a poiut 15 miles above its mouth it reaches the remarkable width of 17 miles. For over 200 miles the Columbia forms the boundary between Oregon aud Washington. West of Umatilla the train passes through other rich grain, fruit aud wool growing re gions. As the cars turn a curve the first iilimDses of Mount Hood are ob tained. Twenty miles or more above the town of The Dalles the river be gins to narrow. Presently it be- conies unnavigaDie, caused oy uasai- tic formation. Through and over these walls the immeuse body of water rushes and makes a succession of ialls, the largest and most beauti ful of which is Celilo, over 30 feet in height. This stretch is a favoriate spot among the Indians, many of whom live near by. During the fish-ino- season they can be seen far out oifthe rocks spearing salmon which are dried in the sun aud used as food. From The Dalles, on through fer tile Wasco county, speeds the train drawn by three locomotives. We soon pass the town of Lyle, and up the valley an historic block-house which for many years stood guara over the warring Klickitat Indians. That formation, seen for miles on the Washington side, is a great lava cliff, and that picturesque spot in the center of the Columbia is Memaloose Island, the Indian City of the Dead.

By permitting three men to be hanged recently in the face' of deter mined efforts on the part of counsel and friends to save their lives, Gov ernor Glenn has added an undeniable dignity to the law of the land and the sacredness of a human life. All three were tried in the courts, found guilty of the crimes with which they the face of this result for which public laws are created, appeals were made to the Chief Executive of the State to commute the sentence and save the necks of these thee criminals, thus undoing the work of the courts. North Carolina's Governor is worthy of praise for Ins masterly stand against the pleas of a sympa thetic but indiscreet public. Unless the laws are thus upheld by those in supreme authority, they will event ually lose all their power and human ife will be discounted as attungoi ittle importance. It is a sad com mentary on the legal profession, the judges and the juries, m thus at tempting to rob the law, for which thev are commissioned to upnoiaauu enforce, of its power and its rightly reign. Too often, men ot strong forensic talent plead before the juries for the life of a criminal whom they know is guilt v and deserving of just penalty, and as a result, equity is pilloried iu the house oi its inenas and a travesty upon justice follows. But infinitely more despicaoie wtien the representatives and judges of the law allow themselves to be capsized by the sentimentality of an ill-advised public and, ignoring the reasonings of their better judgment, appeal f jr executive clemency - Governor Glenn lias exhibited a de termination that is worthy of emu lation by all who occupy similar po sitions of responsibility and trust.

Far East Monroe Journal. Those who feared that Japan got too little in the treaty of peace and that Russia was not sufficiently crip pled to cease to molest her in the East, may calm their fears. The treaty that was signed between Japan and GreatBritain is more dis astrous to Russian hopes than the treaty at Portsmouth. This treaty both offensive and defensive. The parties bind themselves to help each other in case either is attacked under certain conditions. If Japan is at tacked in eastern Asia, England will put her fleets and armies in the field at her friend's request. If Englaud is attacked in India, Japan will do likewise. NowT, India is England's vulnerable spot, particularly so far as Russia is concerned, and she has for sometime been strengthening her army there. This is the greatest stroke that she could have made, for the efficiency of Japan as an ally can not be doubted now, and no two powers on the globe could fight Japan and England. It is as much to the interest of England as to Japan to keep Russia out of eastern Asia, and her guarantee to help Japan do this job is a small price to pay for Japan's guarantee to help her keep the bear out of India, for this country is handy to him, and it is believed that he has for a long time cast hungry, eyes that way.

PEACE, Cashier. Following the Prevailing Style. Statesville Landmark. We repeat what we have heretofore said, that that Kaleigh man, Howell who is suing Claude Bernard for 20 OOO domages for the seduction of his daugh ter is making a sorry spectacle of himself. It may punish Bernard to be compelled by law to pay damages but how any amount of money can heal the broken heart of the father or restore the blasted reputation of his daughter is another proposition. Salisbury Post. Our contemporary wriglifuf on the Raleigh man. He is simply following the prevailing style in North Carolina doing what" other men of more intelligence and more prominence (we believe Howell is from the humble walks of life) have done and are doing in other in stances. It is a disagreeable truth, but a truth nevertheless, that we are rapidly becoming like our Northern brethren we are putting everything on a money basis. If one wrongs us in any way, no matter how, we seek redress through a damage suit, through a demand for money. Moreover, what other mfress has Howell? True, the Ltnuhnnrk is old fashioned enough to believe that t lie shot gun is the remedy in such cases, but it realizes that it has mighty few followers on this point. If Howell had sliot Bernard and killed him he would almost certainly have gone to the .penitentiary. They would have proved at the trial that the girl was bad before Bernard ever saw her; they always do that in a case of this kind. : . Itr. is probable, too, that Howell had taken note of recent events, in North Carolina. In Raleigh several months ago the brother-in-law of a woman whose name was involved in scandal with a man spoke to the man about it, was killed for his pains and the slayer was acquitted. Two Ca barrus men, believing that a young Rowan man had ruined their' niece, shot and killed him when he refused to marry lier. They are now doing time in the penitentiary. No, while we still believe in the shot fun policy iu such cases, there is certainly no encouragement, so far as publicsen timent is concerned, for one to hope to escape punishment if he personally avenges t he wrongs of a female mem ber of his family. If he goes ahead and is punished he simply adds trouble to trouble fo those near and dear to him. If not the shot gun. then what? A damage suit is the only thing left.

Sold t Parker's Two Drug .Store.. This is Strong Argument. Raleigh Pout. Time and time again tv e hare urged more care and consideration and pro tection from the song and insective rous birds of ,tlie country. There are societies that have for their sole aim the protection of birds, still there are thousands of the little feathered beauties subjected to wanton destruc tion every year. In a late issue of the Jacksonville, (Fla.) Times-l'mon we find the following: "Over eight million dollars annually go towards saving tbe apple trees of this country from insects. Isn't it cheaper to have the birds do the work? One man in Florida this year planted peppers, peas and sunflowers throughout his grove, in the corners, to attract the birds; now his neighbors are asking him why his trees remained free from insects and are sur prised to hear he spent nothing lor in secticides from the drug store." This is strong argument in favor of the birds. This man not only does not kill them but plants and "grows stuff to attract them and keep them I about his place, and they save him thousands of dollars. Grow More Wheat, DIVERSIFICATION OF CROPS IN THE SOUTH. Only Sure Foundation for Continued Prosperity Our People Ought to Raise More of Their Supplies at Home Effect of a Heavy Grain Crop on the Price of Cotton Forceful Facts for Farmers. Raleigh ProgreHiiive Farmer. The excellent"$50 prize essay on wheat growing contributed to this number of our occasional corres pondent, Mr. E. E. Miller of Morris town, Tenn., ougljt to turn the at tention of mujy of our readers to the importance of increasing the acreage of this grain the coming season. The only sure foundation for contin ued prosperity iu the South lies in the diversification nf crops, and the chances are that we may learn this in the dearest school of experience next year. If cotton prices stay about ten cents, it is going to lie the hardest task in the world to keep the acreage down to reasonable limits. A heavy grain crop sown this fall will therefore be one of the liest guaran tees the Southern farmer can have of high-priced cotton in 1000. But entirely apart from the effect on cotton prices, it is worth while to grow wheat for its own sake. Except for the few days iequired for harvest ing, the crop requires little labor;and it also makes it easy to build up the up the of peas soil, the farmer letting a crop of iouow the wheat An enterprising fertilizer house has just issued a pamphlet "Why Not a Larger Area in Wheat?" iu which all these facts are forcibly brought out. In the "good old days" of the decade before the Civil War cotton brought an average of twelve rents jier pound, and this was due largely to the fact that Southern farmers made their supplies at home, and therefore did not make an overproduction of cotton. And our booklet has some statistics bearing on this subject that are" worth studying, with some comment that is also too good to keep away from our readers: "The fact that every farmer made his own wheat and flour was a prime factor in that opulent condition of 'before the war.' "In the presence of these interesting and invaluable facts, the inquiry is perfectly natural what did Georgia in those dajs? "In 1800, Georgia produced 2,511 -011 bushels of wheat, or 2.4 bushels per capita, that is, 2 bushels and four-tenths of a bushel for every man, woman and child within her borders. "In 100O she harvested only 1,705 047 bushels, more than 778,000 bushels less than in 1800 a per cap ita of only 70-100 of a bushel. "In 18(50, North Carolina made 1,74.',700 bushels oi wheat a per capita of 4.7 bushels. "In 1900 she harvested 4,:J42,:J51 bushels of wheat or 2.2 bushels jier capita. This was 401..158 bushels less than in 18G0. "In 1800, South Carolina produced 1,585, Gill bushels of wheat or 1.8 bushels per capita. "In 1000 she made 1,0I7,:I10 bushels of wheat, being over 208,000 bushels less than 18G0. a per capita of only three pecks. "Suppose the farmers were to de termine to bring the per capita pro duction of wheat up to the figures of 1800 what a harvest there would be of the golden grain inGeorgiaand the Carolinas! "It can lie done. It should be done. "The farmersof theseStutes should return to wheat production. Their every interest demands it. If they wish to make cotton a strictly money crop rather than a purely exchange crop, they must grow wheat enough at least to make all the flour needed on their farms and plantations. "The lirst essential is to break the land deep and harrow till not a clod is left on the tract. This will give a seed-bed ready for seed and fertilizer. "Get the best seed. Plaut. if possi ble, with an approved drill. Experi ence has proved that it is better to drill than to broad-cast wheat. "To prevent smut, soak the seed twelve hours in a solution of blue stone. Dissolve one pound of blue stone iu twenty-four gal lons'of water. Use enough of the solution to cover the seed. Spread out in the shideso they may dry and be ready to plant. "It is conceded that the blue-stem variety of wheat is the best to date. "Next to a thorough preparation of the soil and the Ix-st eed, stands the fertilizer adapted to the wants of the plants.
