No subscribers for a shorter period than one year will here after be received for cither the Weekly Or Monthly. WHY NOT) Several of our exchanges mention G P1 ai Geo. II. Uinus, of this city, at an ap propriate candidate for Slate Printer. and if honesty, and skill in the art ore- servanve arc qualifications, no better se lection could possibly be made. Since our residence in Oregon, Mr. 1 limes, has done nearly $ jo.ooo worth of print ing for us, and we have always found him prompt, reliable and reasonabl whether previouocniract for a job had boon innile or not Now. thou If private citiien or corporation had no large a job of printing to give out as Ihc State has, they'd be likely to give it not to the greatest politician, hut to the man doing the best job for the least money; and, in these times of reform and retrenchment, our State govern ment should do the same, by giving lying I ter Map! the orhce to so competent a printer Mto, n.

Brit ish Columbia, the five year old Oregon bred half Clydesdale stallion "Adven ture," receiving the sum of Sinoo In gold coin for him. "Adventure" Is a most beautiful and noble appearing animal, and has taken several first pre miums at Oregon State Fairs. In S76, as the best draft stallion, and as f ., , . , to" nam wonting laoorer, earned sum one, from the best draft team. In 1S77 , , he .1.MM,fh.fl. ;,., ' c,cnt t" start a small beer-bottling es ne again took the hi st premium, as one of the best draft team. We consider $1000 a very reasonable price for him and yet it fully pays Mr. Chalmers, who makes a specialty of breeding fine horses. The above is but another proof that it is profitable to raise fine stock in Oregon. PERSONAL. Will John Tones, who emigrated from Natural Bridge, N. Y., and who is supposed to have been in the lumber business in Portland two or three years ago, send his present add rest either to this office or Z. B. Hitchcock, at Nat ural Bridge. This is likely to be an "off" year 'itb retail bankers. CENTENNIAL BLOCK, This handsome block of buildings, ccted In 1S76 at an exDensc of $100,000, is located on Second street, between Morrison and Yamhill, occu pying ;oo feet on the former and 100 feet on each of the hitler strccls. It is ned by Messrs. T. M. Strowbridgc. Wm. Beck and M. O. Lownsdale, and is considered one of the most substan tial business blocks in this city. The linn of Kerron & Macbeth occupy the double store on the corner of Ybmhlll. JO feel wide with a depth of 70 feet. and although started only In 1S76, have, by honelGtrealing and strict attention to business, built un a very extensive trade. Their slock of Oenenl M-. chaudisc is very heavy, and they make direct importations from Eurone. n. well as the Eastern States. The farm- ing community, especially, will find ixerron V Macbeth a profitable house to deal with. Adjoining the above firm, is the Furniture establishment of Edwards & Birmingham. Both of these gentle men are experienced workmen, baying previous to their starting in business for themselves, held lucrative positions In some of Ihc largest upholstering es tablishments both here and in f'.ll. .' forma They make a specialty of fine Upholstering, but carry a very larm slock of Furniture as well. Thev give employment to a number of skilled mechanics, and arc therefore worthy of patronage. We next come to "Chattcao de Ver sailles," presided over by genial Frank Fabrc. In 1S72 he established the Central Market Coffee Stand, All in sufficiency of" room, however, compelled him to change lo his present quartet, early in 1S77, w here he has flourished ever since. His dinners bear an envi able reputation, and Fnbrc's coffee is well known all over the Pacific Coast. We next come to Central I)rm. Store, an elegant establishment, owned by Mr. J. A. Child, who has 'had years experience as a druggist in some of the largest Eastern cities, and his constantly growing custom is evidence that his services arc appreciated here. Besides the compounding of physician's prescriptions, Mr. Child also conducts a general business in Drugs, Chemi cals, Paints, Oils, Brushes, etc. Adjoining, wc find the office of the d reliable Howe Machine Co.. with Mr. A. M. Cannon as resident agent. The Howe is an easv running and well built machine, and although the oldest is yet as good a machine as can be found in the market. The next firm claiming our attention is the one of K. Seelig & Co., dealers in wines and liquors, and whatever per sonal dislike wc ourself may have against trafic of that kind, wc must still admire the business tact of Mr. Seelig. Wc distinctly remember him but a few years since when he came here and as hard working laborer, earned suflr- tabllahment on his own account. By constant attention to business, general sobriety, economy and accommodating ways, he has built up an extensive job bing trade in the interior of the State, and three years ago associated with him Mr. F. Zimmerman, a gentleman favorably known amongst business men hi this city. The upper portion of this building is divided into offices, and snugly quar tered here we find the Tusticc court of Judge R. E. Bybec, a terror to evil doers, in compensation, however. Mr. J. J. Browne's law office is only the next door to it; this gentleman is one of our most prominent attorneys, and business entrusted to ' him receives prompt attention. The real estate agency of Geo. P. Lent, is also in this building, with entrance on Second or Morrison streets. Mr. Lent makes a specialty of furnishing immigrants reliable information concerning lands, and transacts a general real estate and collecting agency business; he is also a notary public.
