Mcnt. Bowcrsox Wounded.
Second Lieut. Arthur O. Bower
83X, who is the captain of a festive
buzz saw at H. Staplctou's sash and
door factory.yesterday, while sawing
a pieco of board, accidentally placed
his hand in juxtaposition to the
saw, and found that, quoting from
Webster's unabridged dictionary,
"juxtaposition is a very unsafe
criterion of continuity," especially
where it is buzz-saw and fingers that
get in that position. As it is ho
will carry the first two fingers of his
right hand in a sling for a few days.
They will be all right soon, though.

Four tramns entered LI. L. Jones

L., that made a lecord of 2:19 in

subsequently purchased by W. L.
Armstrong, the pool-seller, who was
making a trip to tho Pacific coast,
passed through Chicago last week
en routo to Cleveland, whero she
will enter John Splan's stable. Al
though tho mare was purchased by
Armstrong it is not thought by the
posted division that ho owns her,
.but who tho man is that put 0,000
into tho Brown mare is still a mys
tery. Jane L. gives promise of go
ing much faster than her present
record, as she is now but eight
years old. She is a member of the
Hambletoniau family, being by a
son of Menelaus, formerly owned in
Chicago, ho by Rysdyk's Hamble
tonian. Adjourned Conncll Meeting.

State Superintendent JicLIroy't Snrrete.
It will bo remembered that this
paper In a recont Issue spoke of the
oflbrts Stato Supt. E. 11. McElroy
has been making to secure the re
turn through Oregon of a large
number of tho tenchors who will nt
toud tho National Association at
San Francisco. Prof. MoElroy sent
pursonal letters to fully two hun
dred promlnont members of tho
committees of tho National Associa
tion In tho east, and replies aro now
coming in rapidly from those gentle
men, and in nearly ovory oaso they
say "good ; we will return through
Oregon, and will miggeet to our en
entire delegation to do the same."
There will Iks no em than twenty
five thousand educators, teacher,
etc., in attendance at San FrancUoo,
and Mr. McKlroy my tltat of thU
number, he feels sure three or four
Utoutaml will be induced to go baok
via Urn Orateon railroad. Suirt. Mo
Elroy feeto that this meeting of
to&ehwu will be a grand tiling ror
the Pacific ooaet, and tsqttcUDy Oregon.
THK I1KITISII DOMINION.
The following correspondence
from Mr. J. W. AVcbb, written dur
ing his trip to Indianapolis and re
turn, was detained in tho malls, nnd
has been laid in a pigeon hole for
two weeks, but on re-perusl we find
it of so great interest, that wo print
it at this late date.
After leaving Winnipeg, the Cana
dian Pacific railroad runs through a
vast prairie country, witli occasional
towns, some of them of a sbeto make
one wonder, what supports them,
wheiv the region is sopnrsclvscttlejl.
At one point we were- close to an im
mense glacier of 3S square miles,
supposed to be thousands of feet
thick, completely filling an immense
chasm between two high mountain
peaks. It evidently moves slowly
downward, as is shown bv tho dis
placement of gravel and boulders at
its foot.
TheEnglish nnd Canadian govern
ments are actively stimulating im
migration to these vast plains, and
tho province of Manitoba ami tho
territories of Assinlboia and Alberta
will in a few years hold a larger
population. The grass, grain, coal
nnd mineral resources are very ex
tensive. Our train was quite cosmopolitan.
We had immigrants direct from
England. Scotland. Wales. Nnrwnv
and Sweden; the Scandinavians un-
noio to speak a word of English.
Many iro on to Seattle and Tacoinn.
owing to tho wide spread advertising
none oy inose cities; some JJiitlsn
capitalists tarried in Vancouver, tho
others drifted off to other points in
Washington or spread out to Oreiron
and California. At Tacoma copies
of the Portland board of trade im
migration circulars were freely dis
tributed. Vancouver is a littlocinnt. Barelv
two years since all but a couple of
nouses were swept out of existence
by a fire. Now she has a poplation
equal to that of Salem, a largo ami
handsomo brick and stone hotel,
magnificent business blocks nnd fine
residences. Other solid bulldinirs
are going up: not an empty store is
to ue seen, rite railroad is making
big improvements in tho way of
wharves, hotel, workshops, etc. Tho
city, also, will spend $100,000 in im
proving streets: tho water works
company a similar amount, and con
tracts are let for many largo build
ings. Tho train brought considerable
macmnery ami merciiaiuiiso ironi
Chicago and elsewhere for Port
Townsend, Blakely. Senttlo and
Tacoma. The steamers front China
nlso bring largo quantities of tea,
silk, rice, etc. for Oregon. Some of
our flour, fruit and other products
are sent on the outward voyage.
Dr. L. A. Port and others who in
vested in Vancouverinltsinciploncy
were certainly far sighted: property
there still improves in value.
Went over to New Westminster
to return my brother's visit, who
was at Salem two months ago. It
is quito n flourishing place, sup
ported by lumber mills and salmon
canneries. Being Sunday, I found
myself booked for a lecture before
the Y. M. C. A. nt 4 o'clock, and for
a Union Gospel Toniperanco
meeting nt 8:15, after tho churches
were dismissed. The people- turned
out in largo numbers and pressed
for a lecture on Monday night, but I
had already telegraphed appoint
ments for Tacoma. so could not stop.
Tho Sound is a grand sheet of
water. It reminds one of tho St.
Lawrence nnd the Thousand Isles,
only that tills is on so much larger u
scale. It was most of tho time as
smooth ns a mill pond. Seattle and
Tacoma aro of wondrous growth,
nnd very substantial, too. Tho busi
ness activity on their streets strikes
tho visitor with wonderment.
A trip like this mnkes one feel a
broader, wider, deeper conviction
that wo of Oreiron and Washington
have as yet but a faint conception of
tno lar reaching possibilities ot mis
vast, promising, and almost unde
veloped northwest. It is dlfilcult
to Imagine or predict the wonderful
changes in store for us during tho
next decade. AVo need but to tell
the wholo truth and scatter It
wldoly to reap a steady and satis
factory harvest of immigration.
But hore is tho last chango of cars
to bo made, then for "home, sweet
home."
