Fearful Disaster at X.. I. Sound.

There were between 500 and 600 passenger on the lost vessel, ;be majority ot whom were rescued. The seen is described as most fearful and i;u;tren2lng.

A grand picnic is to be held at Roberts' bridge camp ground on the 10th and 11th (Saturday and Sunday) of July next, for the special benefit of the public schools in this county. We have some good teachers In old Linn, and it l expected that they will give to the' - public on the occasion specimens of their quality through the children . Recitations declamations etc.. will be the order of tbe day, while Dr. Watts of Oregon City, has promised to be present and give several lectures on sub jects ot interest to the general public as well as to the farming community. A large gathering may be expected on ' the occasion, and the attempt of those havii g the matter In charge will be made to make tlie time spent profitable ard pleasant to all. ' - During the past eleven months tbe pub lic debt of the country has been reduced. In round figures,' to the extent ot about $75,000,000. This is extraordinary, and Indicates a decided revival of trade, Italy expects to have another political crisis soon, but lias got so used to things of that sort lately that the surface ot pub, Jic aIrs soarcciy shows a ttyple. Every succeeding day shows the great necessity for a bridge across the Willam ette at this city, and every day that goes' by without it is a loss to the : trade and Importance of our city. Something mast be done soon or we will be left out in ttte cold. Lines of railway are . stretching their arms out all arobnd 'us, and soon we will be bottled up, as it were ; we will see the trade that formerly fed and bnilt up our city, going right by our doors to build up some ether community. It is not well enough to say Albany is all . right, you can't get the trade away Irom her, because such an assertion is untrue. Our merchants have already felt tlie effects of the Corvallis line on the opposite Ride of the river, and ca-i beglu to take in tlw effect ol the com pletion of a cheap road, such as the narrow gauge will be, fromCrawfordsville through Brownsville, Lebanon and Scio on . to Portland, on the trade of this city. The bulk ot the grain and produce ot this comity will find some other market than ours and the stagnation at present felt in business circles will he as nothing to what we will then see if we do not bestir our selves to meet the emergency before It is too late. If railroads are to be built, we shouli make it to their interest to center here, if possible and nothing is impossible with an active, liberal, enterprising peo ple. If we sit down and wait for the "good limes" to come to us, failing to offer any inducements, to enterprises that require the outlay of capital and the use of brains we shall , be wofully left. "Eternal vigilance is the price" of advance ment and prosperity, as well as '"liberty." If we continue to hum and haw and hold back, taking a firmer grip ou our purse strings when any enterprise is offered calculated to build up our city, simply be cause such enterprise will draw tbe coin from our pockets and may not return for a time the regular one per cent., we will soon be left so far behind in tbe race for wealth and power that all our little lioa ril ed coin will be of no avail whatever in the most earnest attempts to catch up. If we wish to maintain the place we now bold as a commercial center, we must act ; we must liberally aid every iuterprise of utility. Eveiy avenue leading to this city as a common center must be improved, and these matters must be attended to now t -morrow may be too late. Bridge the Willamette and railroads will come ; and populatiou will soon follow and make the rich soil opposite this city blossom like the rose and this will be their market. Our county will fill up, and other roads perhaps not railroads but plank roads, macadam roads to accommodate the firm er, avenues of trade, commerce, that can be used Winter and Summer, leading out, like arteries into the country wherever demanded, will be built. Once fully awakened, our citizens will advance with the demands of the times. Let tis shake off this supiucness this lethargy, which is betogglng our minds and dimming our visions, and then we will realize that we have much to do to hold onr own with tbe moving world around us.

Portland, Or., May 23, 1880. Messrs. , Roop Simpson, Aj bast. Oregon Genu : Having noticed an ad vertisement gotten up by the firm of D. M. Osborne & Co., wherein they agree to furnish their old and new customers with a twine binder attachment, at a cost not exceeding twenty dollars, next year, we would say tliat the whole thing is gotten up as an advertising dodge to sell their harvesters and binders which they have not been able to do with great success. We, as agents of the well known Walter A. Woods machine, do not care to hnmbug the farmers by agreeing to furnish a twine binder at a cost not to exceed the small sum of twenty dollars" or at any price, but will agree to furnish one as cheap as any first-class binder can be furnished. The Walter A. Woods Mowing and Reap ing Machine Company are now In the field with a successful twine binder, and have been for the past two years but the demand has been so great in tlie eastern states that none could be obtained for the Pacific coast trade. - Tbe D. M. Osborne & Co. twine binder attachment, as they call it. is an experiment of only a few days. Farmers do not be humbugged Into buy ing an Osborne harvester and wire binder, on a promise that yon shall receive a twine binder attachment another yrar, so that you can use either wire or twine.

An editorial in the Western Christian Advocate of January 21. 1880, has this to say of the Dent a phone : We receive many inquiries from our readers in regard to the Dentaphone, a new invention, extensively advertised, as enabling the deaf to hear thrcugh their teeth. After a thorough Investigation, for which ample facilities were afforded ns we have come to the conclusion that tlie Dentaphone is a most valuable Invention and, in fact, does what is claimed for It. in enabling tlie deaf and partially deaf to hear sounds and conversations otherwise beyond their range. The priuciple on which the Dentaphone is constructed is that a receiving diaphragm or plate which Is susceptible to the sound vibrations that constitute spoken language, is made to re ceive and communicate these vibrations to the teeth of the persons using it ; and thin they are conveyed through the bone3 of the head to the auditory nerves and se en abl the person to hear without- difficulty. Several of our citizens who have been deaf for years are using the Dentaphone with most satisfactory results. Ite v. D. J Starr, pastor of the York Street Methodise Episcopal Church, of this city, visited the office of the company a few days ago, for the purpose of testing the Dentaphone In the case of his wife's mother, whose hearing is quite deleotive. The result was remarkably cotirUicing. the lady being enabled to iiear distinctly everything said in the room In an ordi nary ton- of voice. Indeed, so much was her hearing Improved that Mrs. Starr re marked that a stranger who did not know the nse of the Dentaphone would not sus pect her of betngdenl. The Dentaphone has been tested in the National Deaf Mute College at Washing ton City, and we have seen a private let ter from one of the professors of that in stitution vhich speaks in the highest terms of the invention as a means ot teaching the deaf and dumb to hear. The question is often asked, it the Dentaphone can be used witb artificial teeth. As tlie sounds are not conveyed by the nerves of tlie teeth, but are trans miftl, through the bony framework of the heatl; artificial teeth, when properly placed, conduct the-sounds just as well as the uatnrnl teeth. When not in nse, the Dentaphone can easily be can led in the pocket. Believing that our readers would like to know more about this valuable in vention, for their accommodation, arrange ments have been' made whereby the Den taphone Company's free pamphlet, giving description and prices of the instrument, will be furnished to all who write for it to the "Advertising Department of the Meth odist Book Concern," 191 West Fourth Street. Cincinnati. O. " . The Western Christian Advocate Is the principal organ of the - Methodist Church west of New York and is published by the Methodist : Book Concern. Its high standing is well known, and Its editorial endorsement ot tho Dentaphone as given above is of Tself alone sufficient evidence that this remarkable invention does all that U claim d tor it Rev. J. T. Wolfe is agent for this city, to whom application should be made, .Mew: Urrry Firm. Mr. I. C. Dickey has purchased a half Interest with Jason Wheeler in the livery and teed stables 011 corner of Ellsworth and Second streets, and they have added new teams buggies etc., and can accommodate those who wish nice, safe, easy riding and good traveling turnouts, at fair rates. Give the new firm a ctil when you desire a pleasant ride over tho prairie - or else where after a good span of goers. - 33 tlst W letters, .-''-'' v Uncalled tor and remaining in the Post office in this City for the week ending June 17th, 1880 : Brown, James R Hall, Wm Garrett.

His father arrived here yesterday. ; There is considerable sickness In this vicinity among chidren, caused by colds' mostly. -The Odd Fellows are in a flourishing condition. The following were duly elected to serve as officers at the last regu lar meeting : Geo. C. Blakely, N. G.; C. H. Elswick, V. G.: D. M. Walter, K. S.; W. B. Kirk, Treas. Last night Rebekah Lodge No. 9 met as usual. Large quantities of wool is still arriving for the woolen mills, aud they are now running day aud night to try and make up for so much lost time. Last Thursday night there was such a firing of anvils as never was before, mak ing the hills fairly tremble, and our Demo cratic friends tremble also, for the result was so different from what they had ex pected that it gets away with them com pletely, and-they liave nothing' to say. The result of the Chicago convention was received here also last, week, and. while Garfield is a good man and satisfactory to the Republicans here, nis nomination was not received with that enthusiasm that Mr. Blaine's would have been ; but upon tbe whole the ticket givps strong hopes lor success this fall. Already there seems to be an uneasiness in tlte minds of lead ing Democrats here in regard to the presi dential campaign, which makes itself seen plainly since this State and county has gone so badly against them, while the Re publicans on the other hand view things in a very cheerful light, and are "eager, for the fray." The Democrats still claim nine out of seventeen in this county, but in all proba bility it will finally come out like Mr. THden's figures in the electoral committee Instead 01 the eight he got the seven so instead of their nine in this county, the shoe will be on the other foot, and they will get the eight aud we the nine, and the average Democrat will say as usual "its a regular thieving trick, again, of those Black Republicans." Owing to election matters nothing has been done towards our railroaod yet. and last night a rumor reached here that the O. C. Company hail sold out to the Narrow Gauge Co. The oldest inhabitant says that wild strawberries were never more plenty 111 Oregon than they are now. Large pril fuls are being brought Into town every day here. Narrow Gauge. Parsgraailets.

Patent medicines as a tnlc, are not much thought of by people having tried ever so many mixtures pills, etc Thi rule has au excepriou in Pfuuder's Oregon Blood Purifier.' Try it. We learn from the Bedrock Democrat, Biker City, of the death at that place on the6th inst., orMrs. Elizabeth F. McCrary. wife of the late postmaster ot Baker City, aged 57 years. Pleasant weather ; just sunshine enough to ripen strawberries and cherries. The Hook & Ladder Co. No. 1 are to have a house thirteen feet wide and fifty leet long. It is to be built alongside No. 2's house on Lyon street. Like Bunco's ghost large placards stare ns iu the face, lauding patent medicines and their wonderful curative powers. Do not believe in these nostrums, made by inexjierienced and inconsequent person under a fictitious name. If your liver is ut of order use Plunder's Oregon Blond Purifier.

Tlie Slieriff and one or two other men were sifting on tlie back seat, the hack went Into a rut rather suddenly, the seat was not fastened, and as the front end ot the hack came out of the rut the seat and occupants were precipitated to the ground suddenly and unexpectedly, And you want to know that such a full is no laughing matter, Mrs. Parrish has all kinds of children's tiuder clothing, as well, as nice hats, bonnets, flowers ribbons, etc. fresh ar rivals, too., cheaper than anything. ; Tlie Grand Lodge I, O.
