He expressed hinnell as well pleaaed with the condition of the pnblio school in the valley and reports them progressing in a more healthy degree than ever before. Et peoially did Mr. Watte commend the interest manifest by the pupils in that valley, which was a pleaaaut surprise to bim. ' Obiook-CIrow Tobacco It has been clearly demonstrated that tobacco can be raised In Oregon, notwithstand ing cool nights. In several sections of the stale persons have grown the weed for their private use. In tome of tbe gardens of Columbia county, tobacco has proved a successful crop being more generally raised in the Her halem countr. By connoisseurs, cigars made of Oregon tobaoco are pro" nounoed the equal of those manufao' tured from the eastern product. A BriSY Scrnb The Bortbwick mill at Mooresville is In operation. Tbe writer viiled the plant last Saturday and found things humming. Mr. Bortbwick superintends the work in parson, and ia alro the head sawyer. Without hie knowledge the writer timed him while sawing a log which scaled 1000 feet, and it occupied Jual eight minutes in reducing it to lumber ready for the market. From the mill the lumber is flumed three miles to the Columbia river, where it is loaded on scows and towed to market. There wae a scow loaded there Saturday for A.torle. Mow tv From Hoos Out In Eastern Washington during the past two weeks, aays the Dayton Courier, about 6000 1st hogs have been purchased by buy ere from Portland, the Bound and the East, and the demand atill continues at from 3 to 3 cents. There was shipped from Colfax on Friday laat a tralnload of 13 cars of bogs for Chicago. Three care were loaded at Dayton, two at Btarbuck, one at Emticott and the rest in the Pahue country. This industry is becoming of great importance to Eastern Washington. It is stated that no less than f 15,000 bava been put in circulation In the oountiea of Whitman, Columbia, Gartlnld and Asotin dnring the past month from the aale of hogs. Am AovBRTtBtMO Car. Both the Northern l'aolflo and the Union Pacific railroad companies have offered to fur nish cars free of charge tor the pro posed movement to tend an advertis ing car esst from Oregon. Transpor tation will also be furnished free by the railroad companies. Major Weed, who ia now traveling throughout Ore gon in tbe interest of the proposed car, aays be has received considerable en couragement at valley towns where he baa stopped. The heaviest expense will be in collecting together tha ex hibits and employing men to go wnn the car. Oregon will have an abun dant crop thia year and ought to be abla to send a fine collection of pro ducts to tbe east this fall if this move ment is oarried out. Postmistress Twrrty Ybars. Miss Mary Brown, of Hillsboro, will have bean postmistress at that place for tweenty years next October. During this time she baa watched the office grow from a little county post to a city office, with a mail four times a day. When aha Brat took tha position tha paraphernalia could have been moved iu a picnio lunob basket, while the office Is now a salaried one, and at fine at any on the weat side. , During all her continuous service she ever has been considerate of the public, and so well had she pleased the general pub lio that when the admiuistration went democratic there was no chance. To her oredit It may taid she has not at all been partisan, having never voted the republican ticket, and it wat that party that gave her the office. The efficient deputy, her brother, J. M. Brown, haa been oonneoted with the office many years, and i i a universal favorite. Argus. It Pays to Advbrtibm. Borne two months sgo tbe Lewie Bivar trans portation Company plaoed an adver tiaement in Th Mist for their steamer Mascot. During the month preceding the first Insertion of the advertisement the ateamer carried from St. Helens 35 passengera, but during the first month the advertisement run the Mascot carried 164 paasengers from thia place. These figures are taken from the purser's report to the board of inepectors, and proves conclusively that it does pay to advertise.

Two men arrived here this morning from Cali fornia on their way to the Long Tom', on a business venture entirely new to this section of the United States, al though not to some localities, lays tbs Eugene Ousrd. It is no Ices than a turtle-hunting expedition. The men drove through from California with a light hack, bringing with them scamp ing outfit and a light boat about twelve feet long. They expect lo go over on tha Long Tom, a slow, slug gish stream, and spend some time catching turtles for shipment to Ban Francisco. They state that there is s (rood market for them in that oily, and one of the gentlemen, who has been in this region before, thinks there is no better place to hunt turtles than In the Long Tom. This stream has always been looked upon as one of no consequenoe, but may now be brought into prominence in a commercial way. Som ethinq About Kails. There has been quite a change iu the nail market during the past two weeks. For years past tha sixty-penny nail has been the base, and the price on nails from the sixty-penny down to ten-penny gradually advanced until there was a difference of fifty cents per hundred pounds between the sixty and ten-penny nails. Last week a change was made in the East, and the base was made to Include everything f'om ten to sixty, quite a material ad vance being made in the price. This change went into effl'Ol on this coast last Friday two weeks ago. Now the price per hundred pounds is the same on all sixes from ten-penny to sixty penny inclusive, but an advance has been rnsde on the smaller sixes, eight penny naila being advanced 10 cents per hucdred, six penny 26 cents, four penny 40 cents and three-penny 70 cents on tbe hundred pounds. Their Parts Aix Rioht Five lit tle maidens went out for a walk. Their attention was drawn to a display of pictures on the outer wall of a traveling photographer's tent. "O, girls, do let us hsve our pictures taken," cried a chubby blonde. It was agreed, and they were to be "taken in the clouds." The camera man was short of clouds, but he bad plenty of resources and promptly improvised some by cutting a slit in a large newspaper, through which were soon throat five pretty heads to be snapped at by the camera. But when the picture was sent home a horrible discovery wss made. The newspaper page had contained mam moth advertisement of ready-made clothing, and there beneath each cher ubic countenance was the line in large display type: "All Our Pants are Double Lined." Cheap Houses. Jode8witzler com menced last week delivering the big band of horses be has sold to the Port land Horse-Meat Canning Company, says the Eaat Oregoman. He baa sold his entire band, and tha number will run from 6000 to 0000. Mr. Bwltxler does not know just how many horses he has lost. There may be 5000, and there may be 7000, but he thinks there s re between DOW and UUUU. lai week 300 were swum across the Columbia river fur loading on the train on this side. He will brine over a bunch every few days, until all have been de livered. The average price ha received for the entire band is about $3 per head. The horses are in fair condition, and will doubtless cut up into juioy steaks. On From thmParsoii." Tbe Cot tage Grove Leader is in tbe habit of getting some pointed aud appropriate hits in every now and then. One of the "Person's" last if tbe following: "Blessed is the man who sitteth not in the seat of the kicker, nor mingles him self in the congregation of the moii bsok ; but his delight is in the new manufactories and brick blocks, and in sohemee to build up himself and his owa town, and he shall be like au ever green planted by the river of waters ; his leaves shall not wither in the early fall like the cotton wood, for tbe Eli of tha boomer shall get there, but the kicker ahall be left to hold tbe bag." Fihhwat Contract Let Tha con tract tor conetruclini a flshway in the dam across tne Clackamaa river, was on Monday awarded by the committee having the matter in charge to Mr. Sidney Smith, of Oregon City. Tbe cost will be about $1500, which is con siderably more than, was expected, as the cannerymen ei peeled that tbe dam could be built for something less than 11000.
