Soda- rille is about seventeen miles from tills city, at the foot of the hills, while Waterloo is on the roaring Santiam, about ihree miles farther, or twenty miles from this city. Tliere is a pond road all tlie way, and as the distance is comparatively nothing, both plas are extensively patronized, especially n 8uiMlay. There are a large nuinbei of people camped at Sodaville, having gone there to get tlie benefit of the waters from the spring. List Sunday there were, it is said, several hundred visitors there. At Orleans there are two fine springs a high water a, id a low water spring-quite a distance apart. During high water, when the Santiam is on the rampage, am' the lower spring is entirely covered with water, ti upper Siring furnishes coW. sparkling, delicious soda; as soon as the waters fall, and the lower spring assume Its -normal condition," tlie upper spring goes entirely dry. To our taste the soda from the Waterloo springs is much more palatable than any of the other springs, although there are to he found just as many ad vocates of Sodaville and Fiulay's which latter is still farther up tlie Santiam, among the huge boulders and toweriug mountain peaks. Quite a number ot invalids are at present quietly enjoying life at Waterloo, which consists in boating, fishing and drinking soda. A toot-bridge leads across the rocky bed of tlie river from the town to within a tew feet ot tlie opposite shore, where the lower spring sends up its cooling, sparkling waters. The river rushes and roars and foams over it jagged, rocky bed, torn into numerous channels, making a noise that can be heard for miles. There is just enough danger, in crossing tlie rude bridges thrown across the several channels, cut through the rocks by ihe boiling, nrhing waters to arouse the mind, quicken the pulse, Mid send the blood through veins and arteries with increased speed. A flue lumlier as well as grist mill is located here, the former having a capacity of 7.000 feet of lumber per day. The mills, we believe, were erected by the late Mor gan Keys, and the best lumber in the valley has been furnished iiere. Otte, of these days some enterprising man will erect a fine hotel near the spring-, and reap a rich harvest therefrom. Paiousf. Country. From Mr. A. P. Fiory. who arrived down from the I'alotrse country. Washington Territo ry, on Friday last, we learn that that section ot country is enjoying prosper ity; that the stories in relation to ihe depredations by crickets are stretched -grown larger bv travel. The wick ets have done iirtle or no damage, mid the growing crops have not suffered. The grass is green and luxuriant, and stock are "rolling fat." His county, Whitman, will turn out 80,000 bushels of wheat at tlie coming harvest a huge yield ftn- a first crop. Ed. Beach is turning out seme of the finest kind of lumber, for which tliere is good sale. A grist mill is to be erected about the center of Palouse valley before Fall. A Urge number of emigrants. a Humboldt, wt re reported on their way to settle in the Territory. Mr. F'ory came down by land, making the trip in fifteen days. Officers Elected. The Good Templars' Ledge of this city, have elected the following officers for the oew terra, -commencing August 5th: A N. ArrtekL W C T4 D. E. Taylor, W8: 8W Mealey. WFS; A. T Arnell, W T; Wm Una Hideout, W M; Mis Minnie Allison, W IQ; R YwL,WQQmdmt. ' HOT.-."Ahi't it hot. though!" has been the popular saturation In these pirfs. tor some days. Handkerchiefs have rilled hill and dripped with tlie p rsjieratlon sopped from the races of slowly noting mortals. Small rivulets and rills have flowed down ann. bod ies and legs, leaving dabs ot upfc inns wet here and there on the clotlies ami saturating tlie socks until It wonl.l s.tiish In the hoots. Tlte sun has been the cause of it. The ok! shiner has caused tlie people to rain through tlieir lores. instead of rolling up clouds to pour down rain. He has caused the thermometer to indicate from 80 on up to 100. in the shade. It's ton bud. It's miserable to sweat so. It taps one f much loose molstnre and runs it straight through the pores of a starchwl shirt with impunity, leaving him dry and that full, which lie must pack around. 'Ilie emptier he gets the more lie wants to drink, causing more sweat to come, which wets things more, and the squish in Ids boots speedily be comes a sonorous squash. We in Al bany, though, are not the only ones who have been suffering from beat.' They have been biling" East, and across the briny main they have al most sizzled as they Imve blistered In the sun. Eighty-five in the shade is 'orrid for John Bull, and lie wipes and puffs, ami gasps, ami goes around red in the face like a boiled lobster, groan ing for a breath of cool hair. Lw.a Broken. On Snmlajp last a little son of Mr. Coallnway. aged nine or ten years, we should snpimse. met with a severe and painfiil accident at the soda siriiigs opposite Waterloo. A shed has lieen erected over one of tlie springs for tlie benefit of those who wish to use the water, and under the shed seats have been arranged around three sides. There was a jam of vis. itors there on Sunday, and every avail able spot on those plank seats was oc enpied. So great was the weight on one of the seats that it give way in the center, precipitating theocciiiants to the ground, while one end of tlte seat struck young Calloway, knocking him doVn and breaking his leg. in two places, between the knee and ankle. The Linn Co. Farmer's Union Warehouse At Slieckl, wlH be In good order for tlie reception of grain at the opening of the harvest season. It has been furnished with steam en sine t" drive elevators, and the facil i'ies for receiving, handling and stor ing grain are not excelled anywhere in Oregon. Its lacilitles will be avail able to all parties alike, on same terms, which will be as low as are consistent with honorable dealing and fair profit. Sacks in any required quantity will be mmlshed on fair and e qnitahle condi tions. For particulars enquire at the warehouse, or at tlie store of A. Wheeler & Co 48w3. New DRKSS.-Tbrongh some Inad vertence we omitted to mention last week, the neat and elegant appearance made by the Oregnnian since it has donned its new dress. It is now set n brevier, minion and iionjmreil, broad face, presenting k neat, clean appear ance, creditable to all concerned. We are glad to see this evidence of pros-1 perity on the part of oiireotemporary. Mutation. We learn that the Rev. Mr. Butcher, who has lieen pastor of the Congregational Church of this city for vears past, intend going to Dallrs to fill the pulpit ol tlie State Geologist, Rev. Mr. Condon, who takes charge of the College at Forest Grove. His departure from among ns will be la mented by many warm personal friends. Comk Down. A circular has been issued to tlie printers ot Oregon, by tlie craft at Oregon City, asking their aid in the erection of a suitable monu ment over the grave of John Fleming, the "Pioneer Printer" of Oregon. We hope printers generally will re spond. Cause anw Effect.

As the Santiam Canal will soon be completed to this city, a large amount of water power will be at our doors ready to be used in miming machinery, etc but so far no effort has been made to render itiis power useful. It is high time, Ihercfore, that some steps Ik- initiated, looking toward making it ii'cfiil. As we have time and again asserted, a pnrtiouof this water power could lie im.'d to splendid advantage in propell ing the necessary machinery for a woolen mill. And we a'so take occasion again to say. that tliere U no other industry that will prove of more general benefit to this community, nor one that will be productive of larger dividends to the sti cklUders, than a well conducted woolen mill. One of the best informed and most successful woolen manufacturers on this coast, a gentleman -of liberal . , ,.,. ..... means and splendid business ability, standi) ready to erect and nut in sue- i cessfiil operation a factory of this charae'er in this city, investing largely - - " in tlie enterprise himself, provided our citizens Will aid the enterprise with the necessary subscriptions. If our people tee I any interest in the matter, let them stow their hands. FISAMIAL AS it COMMERCIAL. Gold in New Yor 115. Wheat in Liverpool lis Sdi&lls lid; Club 12s 2d&12s4d.

The demand lor gold tor Germany having been satisfied, the Bank of England has lowered its discocut to il4 iwceut. i'he wheat crop in the Eastern States is now ascertained to be in ex cess of last year, which was fully op to the average. The yield In California will fall off from one-tilth to one-sixth less than that of la-t year. The yield of wheat in Or. gou tiii vear is figured at between 2.000.000 and 3.000X00 bushels, besides other cereals. To move this enormous crop to market will require one hundred and fifty-iix vessels of more than five hundred tons each. Whether it w ill lie possible to secure that number of grain carrying vessels, or a sufficient number of vessels of larger earn ing capacity, remains to to seen. The iiuuilier of vessels already secured or chartered is small as compared to the number needed. And right here is tlie trouble if the vessels can to secured the grain m to freighted ton good market wlieregood prices can be obtained: but if tlie nec essary tonnage cannot to secured the grain can not be removed, and the price of grain will re in down. Tonnage tlie world over, at the present lime, rules high. We hope that sufficient tonnage to remove all our surplus grain can or will be secured, but we have no data at present which would ivamut us in asserting tliatsucb is the case.
