Tlie Yamhill Courier says : "For the
trial and keeping of Cooke and Wyant
will cost the county somewhere near $500.
The property they stole is worth so com
petent judges say not to exceed $10. We

Hon. I. N. Smith, of Linn county, and
Capt. Gist, late of the steamer Success,
liave been cxaminimr the channel of the
Willamette river along both sides of the
large island above Albany. They report
having found that the east channel, which
was, in the early stages ot steamboating
on tlie river, considered the main channel,
hut which lias since been abandoned, has
a gam become practicable, having, in fact,
a greater depth of water and fewer ob
structions tbau the channel on the west
side. Tlie island is about nine miles long,
and the river bank, on the Linn county
side, is thickly settled, and it will be a
welcome sound to, those farmers to hear
again the familiar sound ot the steamboat,
and to have a chance to ship direct from
tlieir farms as in days gone by. -Speaking
of tlie resources ot Washing
ton Territory, the Tronscript says : "We
have a large scope of country, as yet but
little known, rich with natural resources,
for which our chief .need is population.
Wc say but little known because we have
only just begun to realize what our Ter
ritory contains. The lumber trade has
been and still is the greatest business, but
our coal trade is just beginning to loom up
as one that win ue oi greater importance.
as tho inexhaustible beds of coal which
are daily being discovered in new locali
ties are opened and worked. Large tracts
of agricultural lands within short distances
of settlements and heretofore uuknown
are constantly being discovered, where
hundreds of settlers will eventually find
homes."

having tho usual March weather now.
There has been about 1.500 bead of cattle
died In this county this winter. ' I have
lost about half of mine. I never saw
stock sufler so much in my life as they
have here this winter. Two gentlemen
drove 100 head of cattle in here last fall,
and have lost tluun all. More sheep have
died here than cattle. I stopped , at a
sheep ranch about the middle of tlie storm,
and tlie herder said he was losing about 25
every night. He had about 1,500, and I
have learned since that he lost the remain
