very good newspapers, The Btnton Co.
Bladt? and Corvallis Gazttte, are
published here weekly. The distance
from Portland by river ii 115 miles,
while by rail it it but 95. Since the
completion of the west ide branch of
the 0. & C. R. R., Corvallis has enjoyed
a degree of prosperity equalled by no
other town of its size in the state, and
from its natural advantages of salubrity
of climate and central location, we con
dude that it has by no means reached
its full growth yet.
The growth of the wool industry in
Oregon has received a material check
by the hard winter in the counties of
Wasco and Umatilla. Jui
lesson will not be lost upon
breeders. They will find out
that fall shearing is practicable
iit Mime parts of California,
hot not in Oregon. Let the
