Some figures teccntly issued by the ,1parlrnoiil of agriculture how the great importance of ou,r wootlu and .forest to the industries of the tluitcd .SUtau. The. total annual product of ftll kinds of material is about 25,000, ,000,000 cubic fct, equal ,to the eoli.l ,lulk of a nnle equate on the base ami .a little more ihan onn-aixth of a mile -high. It ! equal to the annual in crease of 50,000,000 acre of forest in iair condition. The value ja about tl.OOU.OOO.OW, b4.ig ten times that of 16 entire gold and silver output, three .time the product of all the coal and .minerals and nearly three times the ,farm value of the wheat crop. It ex ceeds the gross income of all the rail roads and other transportation com panies. It would suffice to pay the in debtedness of all the states except Mew York and Pennsylvania, including that "of all counties, townships, school dis tricts and cities within those states (in 1880), and would more than wipe out the remaining public debt of the United States. Ten years ago manufacturers of all kinds held the first place la importance as measured ty dollars, agricultural second and forest products ranked third. It is thought that since then the lumber industry has enlarged to suoh an extent that the forest produc tion now occupies the second place, if jiot the first The capital employed in milling the product, exclusive of har vesting, is roughly estimated at $650, ,000,000, and more than 300,000 people are employed in the direct manufac ture of forest and sawmill products alone, without counting the employ intent afforded by its transportation to points of ' consumption and nianu iacture there. FOREIGN IMMIGRATION CIRCULAR. The following is a list of persons not Allowed to land in the United States under the provisions of the immigra tion law as passed by the lust congress, and sent out in circular form by Secre tary Foster of the treasury department : "The attention of corporations and jothers engaged in bringing alien im migrant into the United States is in ited to the accompanying copy of the general laws pf congress designed to regulate immigration. It will be ob served that the law, as amended March 3, 1891, prohibits the landing in the United States of the following classes ot aliens: 'Idiots, insane persons, paupers cr persons liiely to become a public charge, persons suffering from ja loathsome or a dangerous contagious disease, persons who have been con victed of a felony or other infamous .crime or misdemeanor io vol ving moral torpitode not including persons con. ricted of political offenses only; poly jgamists, persons coming under con tract to labor.' All corporations and .others bringing into the United States alien falling within any 'of the pro hibited classses are required by law, tinder heay penalties, to return them, at their own cost, to the ports or coun tries whence they came, and this re quirement holds good for one year after any such prohibited alien may have entered the United States." The circular further states: "The evident disposition of many steamship lines, under the pressure of sharp com petition, to gather np in Europe and bring to the United States all who, with or without the aid of others,' can pay the now trifling cost of a steerage passagerfregardless of their character pt condition, and regardless of our Jaws com pels on the part of this gov. eminent a closer scrutiny, and the adoption of more comprehensive measures than have hitherto seemed necessary." ' , OUR TAXABLE PROPERTY. Irom tlMi awessmenl roll for 1891, as made up by theeounty assessor, we produce those figures, showing the tax able properly ,of .Columbia county, iU'tuUed with the exqmption for in debtedness deducted : ho. ...JM.Kl, Arm of, land.., city lota, Improvements li'd'ne suit Implia Money, notca, ae'tt Hoods? wutchca, etc Hor.

This de plorable state of attain is one that can be remedied only in one way, and that is through the legislature. Repeal the exemption for indebtedness law and Columbia county would this year receive one-third more taxes than tin. der the present condition of things, thereby perhaps, reducing the las levy from about 25 to 16 mills, and the wealth of the county would be taxed equally. At present the greater por tion of the county reveuue comes from the middle classes, who are neither poor uor rich, but in fair moderate cir cumstances. This class of people are mostly farmers who siye in their prop erty at a fair valuation and who do not claim an indebtedness unless such indebtedness really exists. There will be no remedy for this until the exemp tion for indebtedness clause is stricken from our statutes books. l he latest reports Irom Chin are to the effect that a fierce battle has been fought nd that the tfovernment forces had been driven from their posi tion with great loss. At this great dis tance it is very hard to obtain accur ate reports concerning the conflict in Chili, but if all the reports of Preai dent Balmaceda's cruelty and oppres sion be true it is to be hoped that the insurgents may overthrow the Balma- cedan government. WASHINGTON LETTER. OREGON WRATH EK BrKE.tr. The following is the report for the week ending, Saturday, August 22, 1891: lions. If Cortland is tborouhly in earnest - regarding an open river she will sub scribe the (250,000 neccessary to build be portage road from The Dalles to the mouth of the Deschutes. This will give her the wheat trade of the Inland Empire, and without a cheap rneans of transportation by river boats, the cities on the Sound will secure the bulk of the trade. There is no deny ing the fact that Fuget Sound is one of the best harbors on the Pacific Coast, and with the generous policy pur sued by the Northern Pacific, has many advantages pver the mouth of the Columbia. It is true the jetty has improved navigation wonderfully, and it is now perfectly safe to enter at all stages of the tide. But to make the Columbia the highway of com merce for the interior northwest, and to build up the big city on that river, portage railroads must be constructed on the Oregon side, and fhe most im portant of these is the one. from The Dalles to dead water above. w WKSTEHX OREGON. W eather Rain felt on the Eight of the 17th, and on the 18th throughout tliii sec tion, in amount from .10 to .20 of an inch, except in Josephine and Jackson counties. where only a few drops foil. The tempera ture was below the average in the fore part of the week, but rose rapidly toward the close-until Way, when it was from 90 to 100 degrees except along the coast. Crops The rain did no damage to the grain, but delayed harvesting and threshing for one day. There was some slight bene fit in the rain to corn and vegetables. Winter wheat is all cut and most of it threshed. Spring grain is being cut Some smut exitts in Douglas and Jackson counties. Grain is yielding better than was expected in every county. Fifty-six bushels per acre from a sixteen-acre field is reported from Yamhill county. In Polk county the wheat generally averaged over thirty bushels per acre ; most counties have an average yield of from twenty-five to thirty-fire bushels per acre. The wooly aphis is doing damage to orchards in Yam hill county. The onion crop was injured by lice in Washington county, but as the acreage was increased the total crop will be above the average. Hop growers now expect to gather a very fair average crop. In Douglas, Jackson and Curry counties the first crop of figs are over and the second crop are setting, jne early peaches are about over and the second crop will be ripe next week, beveral carloads a day are be hig shipped from Jackson county. Jose phine county is shipping three carloads a day of watermelons. Fruit drying is in progress. . BA8TBBH 0BEOO5. TV eather Rain fell in most counties on the 19th and 20th, varying from a sprinkle to .14 of an inch. The teperpature bss been above the average and rose towards the close of the week, until today it ranged from 90 to 106 degrees. Crops There was no damage dons by the rain ; though the harvesting operations were delayed for about a half a day in various localities. Winter wheat is gener ally all threshed and considerable of the spring sown grain has also been threshed, except east and south of the Blue mount ains. All reports indicate tbe yield to be above the expectations of the farmers, ex ceptin parts of Wasc county, where the hot weather in July dfd some damage. In some parts of Union county rust is observa ble. In this county harvesting operations are Just beginning. In Sherman, Morrow and Umatilla counties yields of from thirty to forty bushels per acre are commonly re ported. . Fruit ana melons are plentiful and large shipments are daily made. Wheat prices have an upward tendency, and ex cept contracted wheat, few farmers are sell ing. B. 8. PAOUE, Observer. land. Tp?

Not the least of these important matters is a reciprocity treaty with Vvmwncln, which U ready fin his ac ceptanw. This treaty Is a niotf agrcenhh surprise to the ptibliu at it whs supposed that the rejection of the llrt treaty by (he congress of VeMcxmila had Indefinitely post poned reciprocity with that country j but tl seems that the congress acted uhii a mis understanding of tho probnhlo effect ol such an agrvement upon the revanuM oi Veiteii.eU, which ore utmost nil raised hi Import duties, but seeing It-i error before ad journment it author iud the president of V enezuelti to negotiate and put Unto effect similar aitrcsmcntj and praetlciilly the same treaty which was rejected bv the eon gressof that country now only awaits the sanction und proclamation of PrcoMcii; Harrlwn to go into effect. This nws will nut be relished bv the democrats, because many of them have talked too much about the failure, )f reripru eity , having taken tho rejection of tho first treaty by the Yenexucla congress to mean that our Kuropean rivals hud succeeded in putting a brake on tho reciprocity wheel, lteciprocity was never more populur than it Is now . and as Us benefits are practically demonstrated It will grow mora iKipular There are other treaties well under way, but those catinot be epken of bv name without a violation of confidence, hiitlllcc it to say that this administration is thorouitu Iv alive, to the imHrtauce of this subject. ami that it proposes to have reciprocity with every country, the products of which art necessary to us and our prosperity. Another subject of imjiortance which will probably be taken np by the president soon after his return, la ttie refusal of the cattle men to obey the orders which have been issued to them by the interior depai t ment directing them to vacate the Cherokee outlet. District Attorney Speed, of Okla i i- , noma, wuo was in uiwn a week ago, re ported that not a single cattle man luul either moved or taken any steps luoking to an early removal. An otlleial of the interim department told me today that ho hadn't -the slightest doubt that the president wouIO order force to be used, If necessary, to drive these cattle men from the outlet. Washington has been quite full of people this week. Kir.-it. in importance is the an nual meeting of the American Association fwr the Advancement ef Science which met here on Wednesday and will remain hi ses sion for some days to come; next n as a re union of the old time telegraphers and the annual meeting of the military telegraphers, which occupied Wednesday and Thursday, and which was brought toa close last night with a meeting which was connected by wire with every imiortant telcgrnph office in the United States. Pimmn.tter General Wauamaker came over from his m linnet residence especially to address this meeting and he made a most Interesting speech, and, judging from the constant and con tinued applause, be pleased the veteran key puiiuiicra rtrrj III urn. m SdllHlOn to these bodies the annual regatta of the NntiW Association of Amateur Oars men was helu on the Potomac river Tuesday and Weduea day. Take it all in all we had quite a lively week of it. Mr. John C. Honck, of Tennessee, who has been nominated to succeed his father, the late L. C. Houck, in congress, is in town He isn't losing any sleep for fear of not be ing elected a the district gave his father last November S majority of more limn 13.- 000. That is one of the few renublican dis tricts in the South that the democrats have been unable to tamper with, because the most of Its Voters are while and would re sent any ballot box thimble rigging. Secretary luster lias taken a leas on the residence which was for six years occnpled by Senator Payne, and in which the late Justice Woods, to whose estate it belongs, resided for many yesra, and will bring hif family to Washington in the fall. The house is delightfully situated, being only a few squares from the White House. . The officials of the treasury department are calculating that all of the immense amount of gold which lias been shipped from this country to Europe during the past year or so will soon be coming back to purchase onr grain. All of our sales to France and Russia are always paid for in gold, but Kna- land usually pays us In American securities of some kind, of which the has many inii- Ht'HOUli M'XDH.
