Myer, of Jackson county, importer ot the noted full bred Percheron stock of horses. Mr. Myer had with him. en route for the State Fair at Salem, twelve head of Perclieroiis, among the number two huge stallions White Prince, nearly white, weighing 1,800 lbs.; Napoleon II., dapple gray, weigh ing 1.700 lbs. and several yearlings and two year olds that looked like matured horses, standing from 15 to is hands high, and weighing from 1,070 to 1.500 lbs. A gray colt, seven eighths blood, foaled April 10th, 1873, stood about 14 hands high and weighed 678 ibs. It was the finest collection of draft horses we have seen on the coast, and we should imagine were just the kind of horses our farmers need for all work. Mr. M. informed us that they not only have the weight and strength, tort have the bottom, and what is still more in their favor, have fine action, and therefore make good travelers an advantage said to be possessed by no other stock ot draft horses. From present appearances, a pair of these colts at three years of age would pull down about 4.000 lbs., stand 18 liaods high, and would be able to get away with four of our com mon horses and their load with ease. It will pay our farmers while at the State Fair to call at Mr. M.'s stables and examine his stock. HUGE BCSWESS. Tbe O. AC. Rail road is now doing an immense busf ness arrying freights. Long lines of cars are almost hourly dashing up and down the valley carrying off the al most limitless amount of wheat await- ing transportation to market. Almost every bushel of grain, so far. taken from the valley, has been curried by the railroad, as there Is now, and has been for many weeks past, Insufficient water in the Willamette river to en able water-crafts to do any carrying business. If it were not tor the rail roail it would have been impossible to move the grain at this time, and, it may be, for mouths to conic; there would have been little or no sale for wheat, and the price offered would doubtless have been less than half that secured by producers of this valley this season. The immense crops of cereals with which this valley has been favored the present season, would not have proved the blessing they have, had we been without railroad facilities. Our people can now, with the experience of the present before litem, better un derstand and decide for themselves the conundrum : Is the railroad a benefit to the producers of the Willamette valley, or is it an injury? Observer the Day. Mr. JT. Baum's was the only business house that obaerved Wednesday the He bce day of Atonement in this dty. Quartz. Mr. McKnight, who ar rived in this city from Washington Territory on Tuesday, after an absence of about a year, exhibited to us speci mens of quartz, taken from Hang man's Creek, W. T., which are said to be rich in the precious metals. Be sides the gold and silver believed to be hid in the mountains and gulches, he says the soil is very productive, pro ducing good crops of cereals, and is as fine, grazing land as lays out doors in fact the farmers' country. Gone to Salem. Gus. Wheeler, who has been in charge of the tele graph office in this city for a year or two past, left us on Thursday to take charge cf the Salem office. As the duties of the Salem ofllee are greater and more responsible, and the pay larger, this change is an evidence of the high estimation in which he is held by the officers of the Company. We congratulate Gus. on his advance ment, and wish him every success in the future. PREPARING for Winter. About this time of year, wood-butchers are plying their vocation with assiduity, filling up wood-sheds with neatly sawed stove and fire-wood to keep dry during the Winter rains. If there is anything more musical or enchanting than a two-horse circular wood saw in full blast, we don't want to hear it or of it It certainly equals a boiler fac tory. Waoons. As an evidence that as good wagons can lie made right here in Oregon wagons that meet the approbation of the tillers of the soil equal if not superior to those of Eas tern manufacture, we cite the fact that Messrs. Peters & Speidel. manufac turers of wagons, thoroughbraces, etc., of this city, have made and sold dur ing the present season thirty-nine wagons, and now have not a single completed wagon on hand. They are manufacturing more, and will soon have a number ready for sale. We will remarifi-also, that their wagon is giving general satisfaction. Farmer's Meeting. A meeting of farmers was called at the Court House on Wednesday afternoon, to listen to an address from Mr. Mercer, of As toria, on the subject of making Astoria the shipping point for the Willamette Valley. Mr. Mercer contended that the farmers of Linn county were los ing twenty per cent, every year on their receipts for wheat by not send ing their grain to Astoria for shipment to Europe. Smoky. The whole country is full of smoke, which, with the clouds of dust rilling the air continually, gives nature a somber and gloomy look, very unpleasant to coutemplate-ah. Rain is what's wanted to clear the atmosphere, and render plowing suc cessful. , . Half Fare. It Is stated that ar rangements have been effected with the O. & C. Railway Company ma terially reducing the rates of fare to those wishing to be present at Salem on the occasion of laying Hie corner stone of the State Capitol, which trans pires next Thursday. Those wishing to attend will make a note of this fact. Personal. Capt. J. W. Mat thews arrived In this city on Tuesday, from his ranch in Washington Terri tory. Al.
