u I-F BOARD OE TRADE. Hon. W. "W. Chapman in his ex cellent exposition of railroad mat ters on this coast in the Portland Bee shakes up the stomach of the Portland Board in a way that disin terested) body must despise. The Board published in the Oregonian that it had corresponded with "rari ons parties" interested in railroads, endeavoring disinterestedly to se cure proposals for constructing any railroad into Oregon. Mr. Chap man rightly says that the published proceedings of the Board show that the only, parties corresponded with by its railroad committee are those in some manner connected with the Central Pacific. It ignored the Salt Lake road utterly, and smiled like a villian at the agent of the German bondholders. The fact of the mat ter is, as Air., (Juapman and men who have watched their proceedings know, tha Portland Board of Trade is the Oregon tender to the Central Pacific locomotive. It is doing all it can to get the .Legislature to impose a tax of two or three millions of dol lars on the State as a bonus to the Centra Pacific company. Of course the Board is disinterested, and would ask nothing of the Centra Pacific company for its services. Certainly not. OUR MEMBERS. Last week Messrs. A. S. Watt. Senator, and D. M. C. Gault, C. T. Tozier and E. E. Fanning Represent atives from this county to the State Legislature, went to Salem to attend the biennial session of the Legisla ture which convened at the Capital on Monday, the 11th inst. We think our representation for good morals, energy and intelligence, will compare favorably with that of any other county in the State. We predict that they will give a good account of themselves in the Legis lature. Identified with the material and social interests and prosperity of the people of this county and of the State at large they will without doubt work for the interests of the people who have chosen them for their Representatives. TUE STATE PESITESTIAR Y. The report , of Superintendent Watkinds. of the State Penitentiary, gives the number of convicts in the prison Sept. 1st, 187C, at 104. Re ceived during the two years, 97; dis charged. 82; pardoned 1G; removed to insane asylum 2; died 3; es caped and at large, 3. The receipts of the prison, from convict labor, etc., are $37,521.80; expenditures, $49,315.95. The total cost of keep ing each person, 48 cents per day; net cost after deducting the earnings of the prison, 13 J cents. The Supperintendent recommends the purchase of a fire apparatus for protection from a recurrence of the disaster of June, 1875. His esti mite of expenses for the ensuing two years is placed at $40,000. Scio and Marion station were vis ited by burglars last week and $3,- 000 were stolen. The thieves over looked $2,600 in cold in their haste. They are supposed to be the same parties that burglarized McMinnville and the Grove. No clue to the rascals. Txldex akd Hayes, candidates for President, are charged with defraud iog the Government in making their returns of income during the time the law taxing incomes was in effect. Both charges are probably campaign rumors, made for political capital. W. H. Haxd of the Dalles Jloun iameer, says the Standard, intends to start East soon to claim the hand of a lady of whom he knows noth ing, except by a photograph and correspondence. Quite gullible for a journalist. An exchange says that all sorts of small fruits, excepting peaches and grapes can be raised in Powder val ley." How about apricots, lemons, nectarines, etc? It is not good to . lie for one's country. Lawless, the man who has been sending girls from San Francisco to Portland for purposes of prostitu tion; has been fined $1,000 and com mitted to the penitentiary for five 3 ears. Boss Tweed has been captured in Spain and will be surrendered to the TJ 9: authorities by the Spanish government. J Tbe Sioux campaign is a failure. The army is going into winter quarters. -A GRANTED. . ney's petition for license to sell liquors by the glass in this precinct was granted last Saturday after a thorough examination of the petition and remonstrance and Mr. W. paid $100 into the Treasury on - -Monday, after giving the necessary bonds, and received his license. The petition was was carried by but four names, there being 95 legal signers on the petition against 91 on the remonstrance. There were 125 names on the petition and 106 on the remonstrance but many were found to be not legal voters in the precinct. The struggle was a hard one, and Messrs. Patterson, SherilT Morgan, S. H. Humphreys and oth ers, remonstrants, made it a pretty close fight with Wiley and son, Geo. Ireland, W. Stewart and others, pe titioners. It is noteworthy that sev eral church members, four or five Good Templars and Golden Rulers and the Glencoe preacher voted for the petition. T. H. Tongue was attorney for the petition and T. B. Handley fof the remonstrance, and to say that they fought long and well don't half express it. Several ladies made their appearance on the first day but they soon became tired of the tedious examination of names and did not return on the nezU The examination began on Thurs morning and did not close until late Saturday afternoon. The re monstrants are dissatisfied with the result and talk of carrying it up on a writ of error. In this matter the new Board of Commissioners had their ability pretty well tested, SDil I it is the opinion of fair critics that they are more than average. They with the Judge are men of decision and clear discrimination and aimed to decide the question justly. TUE LEGISLATURE.

The directors of the Union Coun ty Agricultural Society have ordered $500 worth of silverware distribu ted at the coming fair. - Thiaty-one acres of wheat was re ceutly cut in Umatilla county in seven hours by a single-gear 12-foot cut header. The great Eldorado ditch, in East ern Oregon, is finally completed and furnishing water to quite au ex tensive amount ot placer mines. The ditch is nearly eighty miles long and through bad management has cost some $500,000 but should have been built. The wagon bridge across Willamette at Eugene City is the ap- proacniug completion being now sufficient to admit of the passage of vehicles. x elix isarger Jiving lour and a half miles east of Harriaburjr. has the best yield of wheat yet reported. 'rom 15 acres be threshed 45 bushels to the acre and his whole crop aver aged over 30 bushels to the acre. .

THE TERRITORIES. The Seattle Tribune of last Satur day says: "A telegram , from the Pujallup valley this afternoon con veyed the startling intelligence that six cases of smallpox have suddenly appeared there, to the consterna tion of the inhabitants. A Montana paper says: "The dispatches announce that a commis sion is coming out to make anoth er treaty with the Sioux. Novr that they have slaughtered a battalion of soldiers, cost the government several million of dollars, knifed a hundred or two citizens, stolen thousand of stock and had a splendid Indian summergenerally , they will doubtless be willing to aecept presents and make a nice treaty to be fed, clothed armed and prepared for more devil ment." Mr. B. Sheck, of Dry creek Boise valley, has a field of barley of 12 acres that averaged 79 bushel to the acre. Who can raise bim? Walla Walla supports four brew eries and twentj-one saloons. There a e two bakeries but they are not making much money. The market is over stocked with bread. Danakin Bros., of Granite creek. Idaho, have recently bought out Lamme Sc Co. in the Canyon creek placer mines, as well as in the Mountain Chief quartz lend, the purchase price being $20,0000.
