From a private letter received at this
office under date of April 13, we learn
that Mr. Norton's surveying party- was
camped at the month of Bear Gulch,
which is south west of Kingsley and
near the head of Tygh Valley. The
route from Dufur follows a natural pass
near the foot hills of the Cascades, and
. taps a fine timber country. The grade
is easy till Jordan Creek is reached,
' near where it empties into Tygh, where
there is a sharp' pitch for a short dis
tance, as the road nears the Tygh Valley
Iiottom, of 90 feet to the mile. For the
past few days they have made but slow
. progress only two or three miles a day.
They expect to reach Tygh Valley to-
! morrow, when their progress may be
less slow till they reach Deschutes'
river.

Following is what Polk &. Co.'s say of
their work :
Our first book was published in 1884,
and we have issued the work biennially,
nntil now it is a recognized standard
publication of great necessity, doing its
part in the development of the vast em
pire covered by its influence. The de
mand for the book is constantly increas
ing. The tremendous growth of these
states will render the forthcoming vol
ume of vast interest and importance.
With valuable experience and ample re
sources, we will spare no pains nor ex
pense to make the work accurate in all
details. The book will contain a com
plete business directory of every city,
town or village in the state, as well as
the names and addresses of mill owners,
country merchants, professional men,
etc., etc., who are not located in villages ;
also lists of government and county offi
cers, census statistics, times of holding
court, names of the postmasters, post
offices, express and telegrapb offices, list
of incorporated companies, with amount
of capital, justices of the peace, all hotels,
with rates per day, iiauy ana weekly
newspapers, their politics and day of is
sue, besides much other information use
ful to all classes of business and profes
sional men.

The following clipping on the wheat
outlook is the Northwestern Miller, which
will be read with interest by our produc
ers.
There is no doubt that the future of
prices hinires almost entirely on the
French crop prospects. In this connec
tion the following opinion of a very re
liable French house may be duly noted.
"In the first place the area sown is at
least 2.500.000 acres less than last year,
which, taken at the average yield of
eighteen bushels peracre, means 45,000,
000 bushels loss ; with regard to the area
damaged by frost and replowed, it is still
estimated to be at least one-fourth, or
sav 4.500.000 acres. It remains to be
seen what amount of this will be resown
with spring wheat, but in any case, the
conumon oi tne piant wjicic ki una nisi
had to be replowed is so unfavorable,
that even the most optimistic author
ities look for a further loss on this ac
count of 50,000,000 bushels compared
with last year. So that, altogether, we
must look for a crop 90,000,000 to 95,000,
000 bushels short of last year's, which
was officially estimated at 336,000,000
bushels, but is commercially -recognized
not to have exceeded on,uuu,uuu Dusneis
Thus present indications point to a crop
of 225,000,000 to 230,000,000 bushels,
while France consumes annually 40,000,
000 to 350,000,000 bushels. Under these
circumstances it is not surprising that
French Manners, who must still hold
plenty of wheat from the last good crop,
are indisposed to sell, so that foreign
wheat is already entering more largely
into consumption than niignt nave Deen
thoueht. Already about 3,000,000 quar
ters have been imported into France in
the past seven months, which, even sup
posing the last crop was only 40,000,000
quarters, is sufficient to supplement the

a sack to Monasterion's shanty, but re-
iusea. lie did not know of the killing
until the Sunday following, but after
wards learned the details from Monas-
terion. They were substantially the
same as claimed by the state upon the
as it usually en. ani nates him in nro- trial implicating Scaffedi, Marchesi, Bag
portion to its nearness from the exaction
of transportation companies. If the far
mer could deliver his surplus of produce
to the consumer out of his farm wagon
his independence and his profits would
be larger and surer, it seems to me
quite possible to attain a larger increased
market for our staple farm products
without impairing the home market by
opening manufacturing trades' competi
tion in which foreign products are pay
ing lower scale of wages, would have a
great advantage. A policy that would
reduce the number of our people engaged
in merchantile pursuits or diminish their
ability to purchase food products by re
ducing wages cannot be helpful to those
now engaged in agriculture.
Passing to the consideration of the cur
rency, Harrison said, "My idea is that
any dollar, paper 'or -coin, issued by, the
United States must be made and kept in
its commercial use as good aa any other
dollar. If we have dollars of different
values, only the poorest will circulate,
I have always believed and do now more
than ever believe in bi-metaliein and
favor all the use of silver in connection
with our currency, that is compatible
with the maintenance of a gold and sil
ver dollar in their commercial uses,
Nothing in my judgment would so much
retard the restoration .of the world as
slayers. The state did not use the con
fession, because it had such direct proof
of Politz's presence at the killing, which
his story denied. Politz is said to have
had a brother whoclosely resembled him,
who has not been found! His identifica
tion might have been transferred to him,
and Politz's confession would have formed
an important link in the chain of evi
deuce.

Mm. Bunnell, one of the Pioneer

One of our most loved and respected
ladies of The Dalles died last night at
her residence in this city. The lady was
Mrs. A. Bunnell, and her death took
place after a long period of severe suf
fering, which she bore patiently and
with Christian fortitude. Mrs. Bunnell
was born at Saratoga Springs, New York
in 1828, and was consequently 63 years
of age. With her husband, who still
survives, her she came to this city in
1861 and has resided here ever since,
beloved by all who knew her. She was
the mother of six children, all of whom
are living with the exception of one. It
was fortunate too that all the five child
ren were here at her bedside when she
passed over to receive the reward for
her pure and faithful life. The funeral
will take place Thursday afternoon at 2
o'clock from the Congregational chnrch.

An Omlnslori.
Our attention has been called by A
G. Johnson to an oversight that was
made in our report of the late G. A. R.
proceedings at Astoria. The writer not
having been present at the encampment
the omission will be all the more readily
understood when we assure our readers
that it wholly unintentional. We omit
ted, to make any reference to the labors of
one man who more than any other con
tributes during the past year to place
the affairs of the Oregon department of
the G. A. R. in a more successful condi
tional then they ever were before. One
af the comrades said in the hearing of
the writer, "I would not do the work
that Assistant Adjutant General Myers
did during the past year to place the G.
A. R. in its present admirable condition
for five hundred dollars." And yet Mr.
Myers did it as a labor of love without a
farthing of reunmeration and the com
rades justly think that any report of the
encampment proceedings that would not
recoenize this valuable and much ea
teemed service would be essentially de
fective. And so says the Chronicle,
in larger quantities. The large purchases
which have been made for forward de
livery, and which probably amount to
about 1.000.000 quarters, are therefore
'destined to help satisfy a future defi
ciency.'

A Fair Young; Teacher.
Miss Waif Grubbe, who has been in
this city for the past few weeks, engaged
in drilling the young ladies of the Tab
leaux d'Art Co., has returned to her
home in Portland. Miss Grubbe has
hosts of friends in The Dalles who will
always give her a warm reception when
nhe comes here, either in private life or
in any capacity in which she can make
iise of her many talents! ' We learn that
the academy at Pendleton has tendered
her an invitation to come there and drill
a class of young ladies for the commence
ment exercises in June, which nhe will
probably ai-cept, and give the Mime class
of entertainment which she so success
fully produced here. Miss (iruhhs has a
peculiar talent for imparting information
to others and has the further faculty of
imparting to her studentx a large share
of her own enthusiasm, and if ahe
chooses teaching as a life work she will
be sure of succestn. .
