However, the Hood will not prove a
detriment to tlio projjreKa of Oregon
City. Tho u'rcal (alls of the Willainette
came Iiero to stay and so iii our wine
wake eitijiens. Our recent experience
has proven that millsTind factories can
be built near tho (alls which will resist
the forceful fury of a irreiit flood. Tho
mechanic-ill pulp mill, which stands on
the very edeof the falls and was us fully
exposed na nnv bnildinir, resumed Brim
inic on Snturdiiy, about -IS hour after
the water was at its liMiest stage. The
flood also proved thnt it is wasteful
economy to build, for factory purposes,
unsubstantial structures. Tho excelsior
mill, which stood loosoly on the bank
above the foot of the canal, Neptune cur
riod off bodily. It bad been prophesied
(or years thnt a flood would wreck the
woodun breakwater and the wooden rim
that formed the basin. Tliolr dxinorall
xntion is therefore no real loss. If lliey
had fceen ripped out before, money
Would have been saved. To build them
as they should be will require a pile of
money and it is to be hoped that Mr.
Eastham can secure it.
The old Indian around town make us
ashamed when we "point with pride" to
thohiuh water mark of 1800 two feet
higher than in 18111. Miss Nancy, a
wrinkled dame who rattles jurg n like a
the uiurmcr of a riiyjliuif, rushing
summer rivulet, tells that it has been
handed down from generation to gene
ration in her tribe which is now in the
hnppy hunting grounds beyond the
river' Styx, that one winter tho anew
lay here live feet on a level. A warm
rain and Chinook rnme ami melted the
snow, and the water rose to tho upper
rim of the bluff at Oregon City. For a
day a day or two the Willainette vallny
was a vast inland sen. Very probably
that catastrophe occurred In the year
when our dear uncostor Adam built' the
ark.

TIM CHISKSK WOUHY,
It I probable that the president, Iniv
ing been made ncniniiiited with the
course and conduct of Mr. Myron as an
instigator of lawless and violent pro
ceedings against the Chinese in Oregon,
came to the conclusion that ho wasnhml
citizen and ouvht not to hold public
ofllce, and on this uroninl lias removed
him. The removal ought, in- fact, to
have been among this first act of the
administration. Omjnniitn, Febru

The Oregonliin evidently menus thnt
Mr. Harrison I pro Chinese, ns demo
crats have always cnntciwle I, mid in
fact have proven from his record as sen
ator. If Senator Milchel has been in
strumental In removing Mr. Myers be
cause he was "an Instigator of lawless
and violent proceeding against the Chi
nese in Oregon.'' the senator is a hypo
crite, as heretofore he has made us' be
lieve that he was nnti CMiichu lo the
core. The "while Clilncu" of Oreirnn
nnd Washington should he compelled to
live in the centre of the :)0,lHK) Cliincxc
of San Krancisco for a decmle. Though
these yellow people are said lo he won
derfully luitib-likn, of the AS homicide
committed in that city of .TIO.ODO people
during the pat two years, 21 were com
mitted by Chinese and 37 by whiles,
being ono Chinese murderer in every
1400, nnd one white murderer in 8100.
It is on account of inter dellance of law
by the Chinese mid their flllhiness mid
shocking iminoiality, I lint tho city gov
ernment of .-fan Krancicso will attempt
to remove Chinatown to a reservation
outside of the corporuto limits, a miriM-
live thnt 1'iirlland also needs. It would
bo like the Orriiniiiiiiii to revile an ollli-isl

fciuee the building of n permanent
breakwater at the falls is a matter of
great iinporliniee lo the whole of Oregon
City, ami tho necessity for building it is
as much a public necessity to us as
building a ciiiiiiI or boat railway around
the Cascades of the Columbia 'is to the
people of l-.iwlern Oregon, it seems that,
if congress, as it luis repeatedly done,
appropriates money for toe work at the
Cascades, it sli.iuld ul-ui build a break

Truly the glowing sentiment ex
presnud in the llowing sentence of II.
W. Giady's lust speech, are likeapplei
of gold in pictures of silver. Tlu-y will
surely make nil impression nu nil who
are not an blinded by partisanship and
misrepresentation of rancorous leader
as to lie linahlu to appreciate ferveul
patriotism and trueslalesiiiaiisliip, Thai
speech, from lis intrinsic incuts, nnd be
ing his lust public ulteruuce, H.-eui al
most to coiiiu from one already freed
from the grosser desire of earthly life,
and who could with clearer vision mid
purer sympathy, discourse, on the prob
lem that vexes his beloved Southland?
Alas, how iiiuny theie are that hug to
themselves the delusion that the l.'ilh
amendment forever sullied the dusliiiv
of the black man, an I but for the vin-
dictiveness of his former masters, would
have at once lifted him from the depths
of bondage and despair to tho serene
heights of intelligent a, id responsible
citizenship.
liy such it is considered thoir duly to
say and write on every occasion, in their
speeches, papers, books, and even er
inons, ami to have it taught in the pub
lic schools, that the condition of Iho
slaves was little better than that of It

and ninny would be glad to see the re

It enrages them to know that the sym

ueiiiocrane iieigiinors, and that Ihe new
booth remain solid heciuisu Northern
men who have gonw down there since
the war have ha I their eve oneuelt
the true relation exis ing between tin-
races, ami the sorrowful conditions tin y
were both left in by the irrepressible
conflict. Alas for the rarity of Christian
charity in this "land of ihe free a-id
home of the brave. Not onlv is 'In-
courtesy due a vanquished f..u to.ioi'teu
neglected, lint ignorant mi l malicious
representation is indulged in. Ibov
many editors said upon the death of
Jetlerson Ihivi that he should have
been hung; thereby showing they be
lieved the scenes of tin French revolu
tion should have been re euai t.-d on
American soil. T.-o uiiinv accent the
perversion of facts that are given them
and do not seek to penetrate for them
selves the veil of passion that is not yet
entirely removed from tho dark drama
of the civil war.
The Southern people do not desire
the re-estiihlishiiieiit of slavery j Ihcy do
not sigh for tho good old anti-bcMiiin
days; they are reconciled to the inexor
able logic of events, hut they insist that
the history oi the past, and tho condi
tions of the present, shall be truly given
nnd understood. The candid, impiirthl
student of hi-tory wiio understands the
doctrines of Webster, Clay, Garrisnu,
Phillips, Lincoln and Greeley, on the one
hand, and Jeirersnii, Calhoun, Llntighw,
Tombs, Stephens and D.ivis. on the
olh-jr, knows that (he war was but the
breaking out of a lire that had he n
smouldering almost since tho founda
tion of tho government, and had many
times taxed Hie utmost powers ill
statesmanship to temporarily subdue.
He know that stale soveieiirniv was
clamored for by many of the fraiuurs of
the constitution, und was even under

dary cause of the fraternal Btrife. The
institution of slavery ivas recognized by
the constitution and it i probable the
union could not have been formed had
it not been.
Many Southern men, Stephens niiionif
them, were opposed In secession ns a
policy and regretted slavery, but saw
no way to belter Ihe stale of iillairs and
wero forced into war by their loyalty to
stale rights. In short, if we stu Iv
calmly nil that was said in defence of
state rights and Southern views of
slavery, in the light of these later limes,
though we may conclude thnt they were
grandly mistaken, we will say that it
was the mistake of a brave, an in
telligent, ami, ns they understood it, a
liberty-loving people, 'who had initially
their own best interest, hut Iheinler-

THE HATCHERY.
From nn interview with Prof. Hub
bard we learn that they commenced
taking egirs on the 1st of September,
and took duriii-f the season ab nit 4.500. -
OiK), ami hatched nearly all of them. In
Ihe oiiinion of I'rof. Hubbard they
ttn-ne.'l out more vo lug salmon than at
anv previous season : owing mainly t
the uniform good utniliiy of the cl'im so-
11 re. i, and also irom I lie purity ol the
water used ill hutching. During this
season Ihey have been pumping water
from the Claeknm-is to use for hatching
purpose with most excellent result,
Ihe pond caused by the dam on Clear
creek generally became so warm that
it was not lit for halclmig purposes, and
to imstiiey attrthiite some of the poor
results of last year. I don't mean bv
this ihey did imt do well last year, hut
that tliey have done ever so much better
this year, uud have hatched nearly all
the eggs taken.
High water did very liltlo daiiiaini to
the preinisesKcepiing that it washed
a way about 30 feet of the bank along the
river.
The outlay forlhe hatdiery since July
ist is a no in f;i.yiu, including tho en
gine which was purchased at a cost of
$7.'I0.
The hatchery is now in possession of
the government, and hid fair to be
permanent institution of this county
It should be encouraged in every nossi
Die wav.
I lie only trouble feared now i that
some p:irtu intend to run logs down
the Clackamas, which will interfere with
the making and keeping of a rack to
prevent the s ilintn going up stream
The hatchery nave emplwvment dur
ing the fishing season to nine men, and
the rost of the liiini there were only two
as in present.
The county court should see that the
Clackamas road is opened immediately
to give the people of Damascus and sur
rounding country a chance to comu lo

riiiiii.,l'i!!r Milk.
Tho followim; from the London Live
Stuck Journal is a (rood statement of
soiiio practical points sitKgeHtnio; tho
extent to which mill, ing qualities arc
dependent on treatment nnd training:
A copious flow of tin Ik. sustained
through many months, is a quality
which has been produced by art in do-
niesticntion. Wild cnttle rarely provide
more than eiiough milk to rear their
own offspring, 111 d the flow of it is of
comparatively sl i.it duration. Small
in volume, the ini.k iti rich in quality,
but the lacteal organs soon dry oil
rtgnm. I Ina, of i onise, is in harmony
uith tho requirements of tho young ani
mals in a wild xt.-.tc, und is a enrrcla-
ion of tho roving life and linp-linznrd
feeding of the dstius. More milk than
the calf requires under such conditions
would bo a viuito of material energy
yliich nature does not encourage It
would, moreover, be an encumbrance to
the mother. Wild cattlu are neither
pood milkers nor good futtcners, nnd in
uirts of .England wl.ero calves are al-
owed to run with their domesticated
dams generations after generations, the
breed of such nninuls is not famous for
milk-giving. Lil.e thnt of the mare and
ewe, tho 111 ilk is smaller in quantity,
rich in quality 11' d of short duration.
The desultory and irregular sucking of
a calf or foul or lamb is not conducive
to the development of a large flow of
milk, and it distinctly tends to shorten
the flow. Hand-milking of a similar
linrueter bus the sumo effect. Young
people are allowed to learn how to milk
on cows w ho nre going dry for calving,
not ou thoso w ho are still in full flow.
New beginners soou dry up a cow's
milk, and bad milkers do the same.
"Heavy milking properties, then, are
artificial, in the sense thnt they have
been developed under domestication,
and by careful breeding, for a given
end; yet, liko many other qualities,
which are a little more than mere germs
of nature, they become hereditary by
long usage. Few sorts of animals, if
any, are more nuscoptiblo than cattle of
being moulded into what we want; no
physical quality is so easily trained and
developed na that of giving milk. It is
a function which constantly varying of
itself, con be dwarfed or extended nt
will. My means of careful training,
kind treatment and intelligent hreedim
it can bo developed and mnde heredi-
tnry ; an opposite system keeps it in
Ktiite ol nature. Iho nnluts 01 a cow
aid the food she receives, have a great
ileal to do with her milking powers
quick and silent linnd-milking does the
rest. The practice of liaiul-milking
cows baa all along tended greatly to
the development of the lacteal glands,
and this development baa become her
editary in some of our milking breeds.
The ewes of the Lnrzno breed of sheep
from whose milk the famous Roquefort
cheese is mnde in Franco, hnvo been
hand-milked for generation, so that
their milking properties are now con
sidornblo nnd inherited. Br repeated
ly exciting the tents it is even possible
to ciuiho an animal that has never borne
offspring to yield a small quantity of
milk, and a cow sometimes renmint-
barren several years after having hnd .
calf, giving a profitable quantity oi
milk all the while."

the tractable chnrncter of the ore. Ihe
situation of the initio, the supply of
wnier nnd fuel, nnd the lahor question.
The problem is a commercial one, how
much gold can be got from a ton of ore,
and at what cost? To illustrate this hy
one example. Many mines assaying
over one mince (20 pennyweights) of
gold per ton have failed to pay. On the
other hand, n well known Australian
mine since 1S"7 has raised over a million
tons of quartz, the bulk of which aver
aged only O'j dwt. per ton, and some
less that 4 dwt., yet it has yielded gold
to a value approaching two million

newspaper is a n ui conductor of heat,
and when placed over the stomach pre

this use of newspapers, but I find that
practically very few people really ap

lump appeared on lie1 heal, which ilowljr jr w

catued by a piece of broken glats or needle,
but failed to bring any thing to Ilfiht. The
child became feebler all the time, seeming to
lose the use of her leg, and finally quit walk

of either hand bocamo enlarged, the flesh be
coming hard. The hip joints become In voir
l, to that when serenteen months old she
' could not stoud, baring lost the uue of leg
and arm. Partial currature of the spine alu
followed. The nerrous system was wrecked,
muscles contracted, and there was general
wasting of flesh and muscle. At elghteea
months if age she was placed under the
treatment of a prominent physician of But
ton, Mass., but at the end of ten months she
had declined to such a degree that she was la
ft dying condition. This was In April, 1864,
We took the child away not knowing what
to do. In this dreadful dilemma we were
over-persuaded by friends to try M one bot

before It had all been taken we saw a change
for the better la her symptoms. We kept It
up, and hare done so to this day, and will
keep It up. If the Lord wills, for many daya
