Iw Jltang Agister V. S. Official Paper for Oregon. A SATURDAY, FEBRUARY IS, 1871 Inspire City Correspondence. Empire Citt, Feb- 7tl, 1871. The Coming County fair. X ' The list of premiums, to be awarded at the next Fair of the Linn Countj Agri cultural Association, appears in our col umns this morning. It will be seen by a areful perusal, that the list of premiums n lave not only been increased, but, in nu merous instances, the; have been en larged tLo, t&us adding greater induce ments to competitors to do their "level heat." , The list has been thoroughly and carefully scanned, altered aad amended, by the officers of the Society, to the end that fult inducements shall be of fered to all branches of industry to bring at the very best productions, and to i jroperly award each and every article exhibited. In this endeavor they have , . shown that they understand, and intend, to the extent and abtGty of the Society, to carry oat the design and spirit of its organization, to-wit; To develop a spirit f emulation among farmers, horticultur ists', stockraiserit mechanics and artisans, that will indace the production of the very bestia each branch of industry, and tend to- a more full and complete devel opment of the varied resources of this jortSon eftba great Willamette - Valley. Ia arranging the premiums for the coni ng Fair, they had the experience gained y the previous exhibitions of the Socie ' J gaide them, and have attempted to so arrange the list as to give the varied interests to be represented a fair and equal showing, so that the cry of partial i- ry might not with truth be charged against them. We have deemed it our - duty to say this much with regard to the Society and its premiums, now offered for be consideration of our people, because we, together with the large mass of the intelligence of the county, desire to sec a fuller representation of its industries, and a aaore successful and complete Fair -rbroegaeut, in September next, than LinrrCdnaty has ever yet seen an exhibi tion that will not only do honor to us as a people, but will prove instructive and beneficial in the highest degree . to all. We hope that our people, seeing the good effects to be derived from well conducted institutions of this character, will take hold of the matter with a zeal and deter mination that will insure a complete and overwhelming success, a Fair to be referred to in after years with pride and satisfaction by all who participated in its Benefits and instructions. Our citizens lave only to take hold of the matter in proper earnest, laying aside all prejudices mat nave aounticss , contriDntea not a little to defeat the main object of the Association in former years, and the fullest success for the Fair of 1871 is secured beyond a peradventure. The $100,000 Raised. Portland has succeeded in raising the $100,000 sub sidy asked by Ben. Ilolladay, and of ' ourse her people rejoice thereat. This fact was immediately telegraphed to Ben Ilolladay at Washington City. We learn - that immediately after it was made known - that the full amount was raised, : 5lr. W. V L. Halsey, Vice President of the O. & C. , ; Railroad Company, asserted publicly that . the West Side road would be constructed and the cars running thereon, to a point Beyond Hillsborough, before the first of .November next. We rejoice with the v -j people of the West-side that they have ' a last secured a railroad, and that they will soon be in the enjoyment of all the . "privileges and immunities" arising there , ft&Bk. It was tough work, to raise that hundred thousand, and for a long time the chances looked exceedingly thin; ut -a grand final effort was made, ; and ji &e amount was subscribed. We eaa all Jkaglt now ; but it was really no laugh- - - ins Biatter vp to almost the very last ' '''Jloor. : But now we ; throw up our '- cap, and lustily hurrah, for . .the West : .

NEW TO-DAY. Iir'!Ka"T - A FEW "REASONS WHY ' THE s A R I O N P I A NO IS SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHERS. THE ARION PIANO-FORTE ha Greater Power than any other other Piano-Forte manu factured. ' IT WILL STAND IN TUNE LONGER aad in its mechanical construction it il more per fect, and therefore, more durable than any instru ment constructed in the usual modern style. The araagemeat of the Agraffe, the manner of stringing, the peculiar form and arrangement of the Iron Frame, , . ,. Supersedes all Oilier?. The use of a bart, (which is a part of the "Iron Frame) on a line with the heavy stecj stringing, gives - ! - t .yi-,r-: 1 ';' ' .'-;-''- " Great Strength Whore most needed, and in this respect all other Pianos fail. The construction of the WREST PLANK, into which the Tuning Pins areinserted, is such thet'it is impossible for the pins to become loosened, or the Wrest Plank itself to split, as is too often the case in other Piano-Fortes, TnE EXTRAORDINARY EVEN- . NESS,. Throughout the entire scale, the excellent Singing Quality, the --. Length and Purity on Vibration, AH go to prove what we claim, vis. : that tho Arion Piano-Forte Is the i Best Instrument Marufactured.

We bavo now used the "Paleut Ariou Pianos" in our Conservatories for a ycaT, and have had a fair opportunity of test ing their durability during that time. The Piano? have been played upon almost constantly, from morning till night, and a Piano must iudeed be a good one when it will bear such constant use with out showing signs of defection. As for remaining 4m um, it out rivals any l'iauo known to me. Their peculiar sweetness of tone in the treble , (as compared to other Pianos with the ordinary metal agraffe arrangement ) is so striking that 1 have had pupils remark, while taking their lessons, that although they had at home what They sup posed to be one of the best makes of Pianos, still tho treble was very wirey toned compared with tho "ARION." What makes them still more desirable is their uniform volume of tone, which enables an Artist to perform a composition in its true character. In total, I eau conscientiously endorse all that is claimed by the Arion Piano - Forte Company for their superb instruments, as I consider I he in su perior to any other make. Congratulating you upon the great success you have obtained in the manufacture of so perfect an instrument, I remain yours, ; - , . - . - Very truly, - ' HENRY SCHROEDER, . ' " "'. - "r:.
