f)c lUccklij iSntcvpri 5C.JT TOWN AND COUNTY, Wealth of Clackamas Coun The events of the day are demonstrating the correctness of the views that the comity of which Oregon City is the capital has more importance attached to it than any other county of the St-te. Commerce and navi gation do not affect us, nor are we dependant upon mineral wealth, or agricultural re sources. These we have, true enough,-but the chief characteristics are based upon the unsurpassed water privileges in the county. This, at Oregon City, is abundant enough to supply manufactures more than equal to Lowell and Linn, Massachusetts, and the use already made of a portion of it is evi dence that it will be availed of largely in futuie years. At Oswego the Oregon Iron Ccmpany have already started an enterprise '""which is more promising than any similar establishment upon the Pacific Coast. The iron beds in that locality are inexhaustible, and the water-privilege very greatly supeii or to ordinary privileges. Mihvaukie also enjoys tbe facility of an abundance of water for the purposes of manufactures, and al ready has works which would be a credit to larger communities. The mountains to the East of Oregon City contain goid, but this is a secondary consideration. In agri culture the couuty is very rich. There is scarcely an acre of ground in the county thatwillnot prove valuable under proper cultivation, and as an evidence of the fact we would refer strangers to such farms as that of Mr. Samuel Miller, two miles west of the city, -Mr. L. J). O. Latourette two miles east of" the city, Wm. Barlow, ten miles south of the city. Judge Matlock, north ast of the city, and a score of others we 4,'iight meutiou. , ; : ' The Chinese. There is no slain upon the community of Portland half so bad as that caused by the presence of so many disreputable Chinese haunts oh th princi pal streets. Why they have been permitted to exist so long is quite unaccountable to us, but there they are. "You cannot extract blood from a stone," says the old proverb, but the good people of Oregon City say they can compare chaos with nature and point out the measure of conformity. The Chinese have attempted to show signs of life here, but with all earnestness their dens were van quished, and we shall be spared at least for some time from witnessing their shameless exhibitions by candle light along these street?. The citizens of Oregon City are right in this, and while we may be collect ively classed by the Celestials as " barbari ans'' in the worst sense, it is yet very re freshing to realize that we all know more about roses, cabbages, and garden vires, than they of the Flowery Kingdom give us -credit A Cotton Factory. Orrgonians havo felt much chagriu to think that Cali- ! fornia took from anions us the man. and nut i into successful migration thp nirmppr rv.tif.n i JL 1 " i steamer senator. factorvof the Pacific States and Territories. ! That these resolutions be ordered pub But we take great pleasure in stating that j lished in the Daily Oreyoniaa and Herald o strong indications favor the prediction that we shall next year witness the erection of a cotton mill in this city. Many of the prom inent citizens have taken the matter into serious consideration. Cotton of a superior quality is now raised in the Sandwich Isl ands, and there are already two lines of vessels m the trade with Oregon. That the business would prove profitable none can denv. Many such opportunities only await investment to make tiiis the Lowell of the Pacific. Let the day soon come. Snw Peaks.- We can point the lover of the beautiful of nature to a site not far from Oregon City, just west a mile or o, where he can see a picture which it is truly an inspiration to look at. A view of the Cascade range from the portico of the farm house of our friend Samuel Miller, taking iu the snow-capped summits ol Mounts Hood, Jefferson, St. Helens, and Rainier, affords a better text for a criticism upon landscapes than any that ever can be thought of by seeing paint and canvas. The subject will be drawn from nature, and it will be very prettv to all who have true discrimi nation. A ride in that direction would prove a delightful excursion for ladies and ! gentlemen. ... . i Gkain Shipments. There is now a large quantity of grain coming down the Willamette river, besides which so much merchandise is going up that it has been found necessary to keep all the boats em ployed that are able to make the trip in low water. The Echo and one other have aver aged three trips eacli to Salem for some weeks, and they will soon be running to Albany, and other places farther up. A friend at Albany writes to us that every farmer in that vicinity has his granery lit erally full of grain awaiting shipment. A vast amount of the products of Oregon this year ought to find a market in China aud Europe. The bulk of wheat being sold is for home consumption, or stored for speculative purposes. Town Lots. Messrs. J. C. Trul linger & Co. of Oswego, have had their land claim surveyed and laid off into lots, along the river, which are now selling at very rea sonable rates. The high prices asked for lots in Oregon City iu the early days, is what gave the town twelve miles belnr such a sud den start. Messrs. Trullinger & Co. realize what the future of Oswego is to be, very likely, and will not put au obstacle in the way of its prospects by taxiug the new comer so heavily as to forever drive him away. Colfax. A basket excursion is thought of.to take place soon.on the new line of transportation from Oswego. The Minne haha, on Sucker Lake, will connect with the steamer SeMtor,a.ad passengers will be taken from the upper end of the lake to Colfax by cars. At Colfax the steamer Yamhill, Capt. Kellogg, will be in readiness aud proceed up the Tualatin with tne excursionists, as far as Taylor's bridge. Congressional Favors. W vv e are under many obligations to members of Con gress for public documents sent us from time to time. Hon. Geo. H. Williams, Ore gon's Senator, Hon. Chas. Upson and Hon. Austin Blair of Michigan, and Indiana's nobleman Hon. Schuyler Colfax, will accept our thauks. A Truth. The new advertise ments in this issue is one of the evidences that business men see the advantage of ad vertising their wares. It you would find a liberal dealer, look for his card in the En tkrpkise. He wro encourages the building up f a local press is most invariably honest, and you can rely upou what he sells you. Apolegetic. Several ad vrtise- ments, intended for the first issue of the Ekterprisk are unavoidably delayed until ocxtweek. " Base Ball. The Pioneer Base Ball Club of Portland paid our city a visit on Saturday the 13th, and participated with the Clackamas Club in a match game. The day was pleasant, and the playing line. The first two innings put the Pioneers far ahead of the Clackamas Cub, and won them the game, although the last seven innings were performed much better by the Clack amas Club It will be seen that the Pio neers returned with two straight blinds on their score. The following runs were made: CLACKAMAS NINE. Huii8. N. W. Randall, Capt., catcher. . 8 S. D. Pope, pitcher 6 Geo. Sheppard, 1st base... 6 G. Bridges, short stop 8 G.

The Oregon City Brass Band under the leadership of Mr. Thomas Miller, discoursed fine music throughout the game, headed the procession on the line of the march, and " played" their part in a most creditable and satisfactory manner. A large number of ladies, both from Portland and Oregon City, were on the grounds and witnessed the playing. The Clackamas Clab passed resolutions expressive of their sense of plea sure at the proceedings of the day, tending thanks to the Brass Band, etc., which we regret to say have been mislaid, and we can not publish them at this time. The Pioneer Club send us the following for publication : At a regular meeting of the Pioneer Base Ball Club held on the evening of Monday, 15th October, 1866, it was unanimously re solved That a vote of thanks be and is here by tendered to the members of the Clacka mas Base Bah Club of Oregon Citv for hos pitalities extended to the members of this Club while in their city on the 18th inst.

Church in t!ii.- ' citv on the evening of Sunday Oct Mth j upon the subject of the c-ntenary. year of Methodism. That church is making active preparations for the commencement of the second century of the church in America under much more favorable opportunities. The objects contemplated by the Centenary Board, which have had the matter in charge for over a year, are numerous. In their meetiugs some of the highest and most re spected Bishops have pai ticipated, and it is understood that all the churches of the land will take a lively interest in furtherance of their plans. The objects oe the church are specified in ten headings, eight of which are educational, and the establishment of sev eral theological schools are contemplated, one of which will be upou the Pacific Coat. In conjunction with this it is proposed to lay the foundation for an educational fund, to render assistance when needed to educa tional institutions and save them from sacri fice. Another fund is provided for assist ance to indigent ministers, their widows, and children. The church has been back ward until Hte, regarding theological schools, but the next y ear will witness the inauguration of many of them. An Oil Mill. Among other new enterprises which promise to be undertaken in this city speedily, we are informed upon good authority that belorelong an oil mill will be in operation There are great in ducements for such an establishment, in connection with the new paper mill. The cultivation of flax will receive a great im petus upon tbe commencement of this enter prise. Drowned. Lewis Leopolt.a Gei-s man employed in the Woolen Factory at this city, was drowned on Thursday, 18th, in the river at this city. His mind had been wandering for several days, and he probably committed suicide. The body has not been recovered, although much time has been spent in looking for it. Still They Come. Our friends Dr. J. L. Barlow, Sheriff Burns, E. B. Kelly. and B. C. Lewis, have again placed us under obligations for lists of yearly subscribers. Thank vou, gentlemen. The larger the sub scription list the better will be the paper we shall be able to lay oetore you. Dedication Ball. By permission of the directors on Thursday evening, the 11th inst., the new paper mill building was opened to the Oregon City Brass Band, and dedicated by a public ball, which passed off quite agreeably, notwithstanding the storm which raged outside. Circuit Court. The October term of the Circuit Court for Clackamas Couuty, Hon. E. D. Shattuck Judge, ad journed on Thursday evening. Several cases were disposed of, which we shall give a synopsis ot next week. First Premiums. We find that we are pressed for time so closely as to be unable to make more than mention of the fact that Mis. M. Post of this city took the first premiums at the State Fair for cm- oroide ry. Thanks. We are under many, very many obligations to Wells, Fargo 2c Co., and S. J. McCormick of the Franklin Book More, Portland, tor files of late Cali ' iornia aud Eastern papers. WEEKLY COMMEKCIAI. REVIEW. OjHceof the Weekly Enterprise, Oregon Citv, October 26th, 1866. By the steamer Pa-cific which arrived at Portland on the 24th we hav? dates from San Francisco to the 20th, and from New York to Sept. 21st. The New York money market was easy throughout, and loans to the Stock Exchange were made at 4 a 5 per cent, the majority of transactions being at the lower rate, while first class commercial paper was freely taken at 5 a 6 percent. Notwithstanding the ac tivity of trade in all its branches, such was the abundance of money that very little credit was asked for, and hence the amount of paper making wa small. In the dry goods trade there had been a large businees doing for some weeks, and although the do mestic manufacturers were marketing their goods as fast as they could and the foreign importations continued heavy almost be yond example, the demand kept pace fully with the supply and domestic fabrics are re ported scarce. Prices, meanwhile, will re main about steady. One of our leading commercial exchanges, speaking with regard to business at this time in New York, says: The hotels are crowded with buyers from every section, those ttom the South and Southwest predominating. The solid, sub stantial business men are thus rapidly cementing the Union, in spite of the politi cians and demagogues, and it is somewhat surprising to note the general good feeling and fraternization which is every where man ifest on the part: of "Northerners" and "Southerners From the manner in which they tnnsart business, and the mutual re spect which is manifest, it would scarcely be believed that the two sections were so latelyr at war, or that the peace ot the country is still threatened by demagogues. Commerce and trade are the best guarantees for con tinued peace, and the business men Norih and South are by far the best " reconstruc tionists" to be found. Their interests are identical, and they have a common interest in the ir aintenance of harmony and in the perpetuation of the Union. Hence the coun try is in a fair way of being " reconstructed" on a firm and lasting basis, if only the poli ticians and other disturbing elements can but be kept do wn. The markets of San Francisco are very ac tive, according to onr reports, and rates are generally higher. Wheat and Flour con tinue in active request for export at harden ing prices, while Oats and Barley are more sought after at current rates. The markets of Portland are unusually dull, iu consequence of the bulk of the fall trade with the mining regions being past. The barks A. A. Eld ridge and Jane A. Falkin harg have been preparing forcargos for the Saudwich Islands during the past week, and the Alfred Crosby has also taken a cargo for Victoria, besides which the regular lines of steamers have taken more or less bread stuffs for California which created a little activity for some days. As will be seen by reference to the advertising columns Messrs. McCraken, Merrill & Co., are yet taking freight and passengers for Honolulu, by both the Eldridge and talkinhu g, A No. 1. ships. It is gratifying to witness the progress making in the trade with Honolulu. We C7 understand that a permanent arrangement has now been effected by which Messrs. Mc Craken, Morrill & Co. will receive and dis patch with regularity, ships in this trade as they formerly did the packets in the San Franciscu trade. Three vessels are already employed. The same firm have given notice that they have engaged in a direct trade with New York. The fast sailing bark Whitlr, will leave New York for Portland about the 10th of next month. This is decided'y what is wanted forour State. We see it stated in the Bull: tin- of recent date, by the New York commercial correspondent, that several clip per ships have been chartered and were be ing dispatched to the Columbia river with freight for Montana Territory the purchas ers and charterers being Montana merchants who have become satisfied that the route via St. Louis i not so practicable for thir pur poses as that via Portland and the Columbia river. Considering that the Enterprise is but just started we have no very fruitful sources from which to glean information regarding commercial matters, but when our list of exchanges is arranged and in order we shall gie more particular attention to these sub jects. Of market quotations for the current week we have none. United States Armory. During the year 1804 a commission appointed by the Secretary of War, for the purpose of select ing sites for the accommodation of the gen eral government in its work of crushing the rebellion, recommended a spot on the west bank of the Willamette opposite this city, as the most suitable place upon the coast of the Pacific for the erection of buildings adapted to the manufacture of munitions of war. Had not hostilities have so soon terminated, after this recommendation was made, we should possibly now have witnessed the works in full operation, and observe frequent shipments of massive guns, taken from the raw material which yet remains buried ihro' out the surrounding hills. However, thrje may yet be such an institution here. If Mr. Johnson, by his sty le of " making treason odious" should bring about such another in ternal war as that through which the coun try has but recently passed, Brother Jona than wiP again straighten up his leau, lank form, and pointing to various localities, say " That at Oregon City must be improved.''

I would inform persons laboring under Cancer, that my wife has for a number of years had a caucer on her left breast, until the three years last past, when it commenced growing, slowly at mst, but durmg the past summer its progress became more rapid. It was giving her considerable pain, when, on the 17th of last month she went under treat ment by Dr. Heuley of Portlaud. By his method of treatment the entire cancer was removed from the sound flesh, and on the 23th of the same month it came away without pain. The sore is fast healing up, and I hope a complete cure is effected. Her suffering for the first 24' hours under treatment was considerable. She has suffered but little since, and is now entirely free from pain. Dr. Henley : The above is at your service, to publish it you think proper. I direct to you and to Air. Starkweather.
