LIGHT 1 THE EAST.
The election ' news from New
Hampshire- should cmne a glow of
satisfaction tonnimatetbeheartsof ev
ery lover of his country. Only last fall
Grant carried the State ly over 5,006
majoril yf and now we have the gratify
ing intellegence that t the general
'ection last week the contest was
o close between the candidates for
Governor that it will probably re
quire the action of the Legislature
to decide the choice of. a Chief
Magistrate. The Democrats carry
two of the three Congressional Districts,-
and the election of the Repub
lican in the other District is claimed
by only a small , majority. This
gratifying intelligence indicates that
at length the people are awaking to a
knowledge of the crimes of the Ad
ministration party, and are determin
ed to rebuke them. The rottennness
and corruption of the Radical fabric
are undermining its own foundations,
and its complete decay and destruc
tion is now only a question of a very
abort lapse of time. The party has
been continually asking for "more
rope." and the people have given them
all they demanded, and now they are
literally "hanging themselves" with it.
The Custom house frauds, the elec
tion bribery developments, the Credit
Mobilier stealings and other jrreat
crimes which have-in the last few
months been irrefutably saddled npon
that corrupt party, by its own wit
nesses, have been too much for the
heretofore hoodwinked and deceived
people to longer tolerate, and now a
day of reckoning is dawning, the
first gray streaks of which may be
seen in the virdict of the Old Granite
State last week. Connecticut holds
her election on the first Monday in
April, and we confidently hope for
similnr tidings from the gallant De
mocracy of that always hotly con
tested field .
-The platform of the New' Hamp
shire Democracy, upon which they
last week made such a gallant fight
against their powerful moneyed ap
poneut, was based uon these words
of the immortal Jefferson words
which we think combine in the fullest
sense all the great principles of that
party which has ever been the truest
friend of a Republican form of Gov
ernment: Let the National Government be
intrnsted with the defense of the na
lion and its fore"gn and Federal re
lations; the State government with
the civil rights, laws, police, and
administrations of what concerns the
State generally; the counties with the

each ward direct the interests within
itself. It is by dividingand subdividing
these rt-publics from the great national
'one down through all its fuWdina
tions, until it ends in the administra
tion of every man's farm by himself;
by placing under every one what his
own eye may superintend, that all
will le done for the best. What has
destroyed liberty and the rights of
man in every government which has
ever existed under the sun? The
generalizing and concentrating all
tares and powers into one body."
Correct. The S. Y.Alta applauds
the "pluck and patriotism" of Webb
and HolJaday, in running a line of
Ocean steamers f rom tliat city; to
Australia without receiving a hure
subsidy from our Government, to
which the San Francisco ' Clironicle
makes the following eminently correct
and appropriate reply: "VYhat the
Alia says about the pluck and patriot
ism of this steamer line's owner is all
liosh and nonsense. There is no consid
er m km of either pride or patriotism.
It is a question of cold coin. of simnle
profit and los; and to assume that
any higher consideration impels a
wuiu.nusi t-mei jrisc is lusuan ana
slobber. If Webb can make money
uy ins line he will run jt. He .may
run it for a time to prospect the , busi
ness, but the moment he is eotwineed
" that it will lose money he will with
draw it. He would do so if he knew
that the result of the act won sink

FeUow Citizen of Linn: . . ,
The undersigned committee ap
pointed at the suggestion of the Hon.
A. J. Dufiir, Acting Centennial Com
missioner for Oregon, call your atten
tion to the Act of Congress, of March
3, 1871, "To provide for celebrating
the One Hundredth Anniversary of
American Independence, by holding
an Industrial Exhibition of arts, man
ufactures, and products of the soil and
mines," at the city of Philadelphia in the
year 1870." It is intended by appro
priate ceremonies to celebrate the
completion of jthefirst century of . bur
Republic, on the sitcof its birth, and
amidst Hcenes hallowed by the early
struggles and triumphs of freedom.
Suitable grounds are already provid
ed, and capacious and magnificent
buildings are to be erected, in which
to exhibit onr national progress since
our birth into the family of nations ;
setting forth the natural and industrial
resources of the country, their devel
opment, .and our progress in the arts
that benefit mankind, in comparison
with those of older nations.
The exhibition will remain open
from the 15th of April to the middle
of October. All the nations of the
earth are invited to participate in the
privileges of the exhibition, which will
thus be made a grand panorama of
the world's progress. Millions of
our own citizens, millions of other
nations, will be attracted to this mag
nificent spectacle the first Industrial
Exhibition in honor of Republican
Government; the world bringing gar
lauds to adorn the law of liberty, on
the first centenary of her highest
achievement. This unprecedented oc
casion will doubtless arouse the spon
taneous enthusiasm, pride and grati
tude of our entire nation ;' will he the
era of good feeling and palbeti
union, and will.be attended by a
more impressive grandeur than has
ever heretofore been witnessed in our
own, or even in other lands. The
preliminary preparations and general
direction of the Exhibition is confided
by law to a Board of Commissioners,
consisting of one' person from each
State and Territory chosen by their
respective. Governors.
A grand Mock company has been
formed, the Body Corporate known
as the Centennial Board of Finance,
to terminate w hen the object of its
creation shall be accomplished. The,
corporation consists of the persons
named in the Act and their legal suc
cessors, being two members for each
U. S. Senator .and one for each Con
gressman and delegate. The capital
stock shall not exceed $10,COO,00,
and is divided into shares of $10 each,
and apportioned to the States and
Territories in the ratio of population.
Two dollars in currency is to be paid
on each share taken, at the lime of
subscription ; not more than two dol
lars per share shall be assessed at any
time, and 90 days notice given in each
case. The receipts of the Exhibition
will largely reimburse the fund, and
me nonor oi me nation win be in
pledge fdr the redemption of every
liability incurred, so that it is improb
able that the fall amount of the sub
scription will ever be called for. " Par
ties properly authorized to take sub
scriptions will visit the different parts
of the county with subscription books
properly, authenticated, and ; all
moneys will be paid over to W. S.
Ladd, Esq., of Portland, the Treasurer
of the Commission for Oregon.
' !A handsomely engraved certificate
will be issued to every stock
holder, bearing the signatures of the
President and U. S. Treasurer; these
will be transferable under rules and
regulations to be made known, and
will entitle the holder to the privi
leges of the Exhibition. ,-At the close
of the Exhibition all the property of
the corporation will bo sold and the
proceeds and other unexpended income
will be divided to the stockholders.
Other International Exhibitions
have yielded a net ' income and we
may reasonably expect for, this the
highest , pecuniary success. . Oregon
has allotted to her 2,000 shares, S00
to be "taken in Linn county. The
prospect is that over one-third of the
amount will be taken in the city of
Albany. . - ' r . , ,'
The Executive Committee will take
measures to address the people of the
different sections of the county at an
early day, : . ., - n. '. ',
This great national enterprise, ap
pealing alike to our State prido and
patriotism, will not fail to secure the
heartiest response, find be crowned
with complete success. ,j ;;.,'

March 15,1873.
Henry I1. Wilkerson, Esq., Mayfield,
Kentucky, ' - 1
, Sir: Yours of February 5th, for
warded to me hero from Canyon City,
came to hand on yesterday. s You ex
press a desire to emigrate to Oregon,
and desire information in regard to
the soil, productions, facilities' for
transportation, etc., etc. I ant pleased
to learn that there are are aome de
siring to avail themselves of our mild
and salubrious climate, rich soil, ex
haustless forests, nnparalled . water
power for propelling machinery, and
the unbounded pastoral resources of
this State; and, I might add, its in
exhaustable mines of coal, iron, gold,
silver, cinnabar, and copper.
Your letter was addressed to mo at
Canyon City, which is in Grant coun
ty, in what is known as " Eastern Or
egon," i, ., East of the Cascade range
of Mountains. Since closing my Sen
atorial term in the Legislative Assem
bly of this State, I have changed my
location, am now permanently located
in the Willamette Valley. The char
acteristics of the two sect fens of coun
try arc as distinat as the range of
Mountains that divide them yet,
there are resources that arc common
to both; both have great pastoral're
sonrces but this is the marked char
acteristic of Eastern Oregon, com
bined with which are its gold, silver,
cinnabar and copper minerals: it has,
also, agricultural lands very pro
ductivequite sufficient in its produc
tions of grain, hay and vegetables for
home consumption; and so far as test
ed, the ciimate is well adapted to the
growth of fruits of all kinds raised in
the temperate zone. Eastern Oregon
is a mountianous country, in which
are a number of mines, lakes, and
large and fertile valleys; the" foothills
and mountain sides arc covered with a
jrreat abundance of the most nutri-j
ttous grasses. 1 hero are no tailroaus
in Eastern Oregon, except around the ;
several portgages on the Columbia
river. One is in contemplation with
good prospects of final consummation
from Portland on the Willamette, via
Dalles on the Columbia, to Salt Lake.
The climate in Eastern Oregon is
healty and attractive. I have seen
the mercury indicate as low a temper
ature in south east Missouri, lat. -71,
as at Canyon City, Grant county, Ore
gon lat. 44JV A to the price of
lands in the section of country now
nnder consideration, I will say there is
yet government lands to pre-empt.
Improved lands, perhaps, can be pur
chased at from $5.00, to 825.00 per
acre, according , to character of im
provement proximity to market, etc.
Yon now have an imperfect bird s
eye view or eastern uregon. w e
no w turn to the country lying west of
the Cascades, which embraces the
Willamette Valley, the coast range of
mountains and the western slope of
the latter range, including another im
portant subdivision of the State, viz.,
"Southern Oregon,"' including the
counties of Jackson and Josephine,
similar, I am informed in. all respects
to the country I have described, ex
cept, perhaps, it contains a larger pro
portion of agricultural lands. The
Willamette is a large and fertile val
ley.;. Its pastoral resources being ex
hausted only in , proportion to. the
land brought under actual cultivation.
The soil and . climate bting well
adopted to the growth of all the cere
als (wheat being the chief grain for
export ;) also to the growth of all
kinds of vegetables and fruits, peaches
excepted. The valley is interspersed
with prairies, skirted with dense for
ests of pine, fir, oak, ash and maple
timber and cedar on the mountain
sides. The average yield of wheat in
this -valley is about 23J bushels per
acre oats 45 and barley something
more, and this I think ' will apply ,to
the other sections of the State.' The
climate in this y alley is milder, but
more humid than :, the other portions
referred to ice at no time the past
winter- attaining the thickness of half
an inch in this city. ' The' water pow
er of Oregon, if properly utilized, is
sufficient to drive all the manufactur
ing1 machinery in the United , States
for the next half century. ' - ' '.V,
As to railroads, we have two in this
valley. , The Oregon & California R.
R. is now in operation from East
Portland south to Roseburg, in Doug
las county. The Oregon Central R.
R. oa the west side of the Willamette
rirer is 'completed for some forty
miles from Portland south, and work
continuing both roads south will, I
aDorehend. be resumed this snrinr?.
I know but little of the 8gricoltnral
capabilities of the country on tho
western slope of the coast range of
mountains. It is there, however,
where most of our ooal fields are de
veloped; most of our mills for manu
facturing lumber for export and ship
building are to be found. Our moun
tains abound in wild game deer,
mooso,elk; our valleys with duuks,
geese, quails, pheasants and grou.io, in
all parts of the State, and our lakes
and rivers abound in fish of the finest
quality, and quite a trade is being
built up by the cultivation of oysters
in our shoal, water bays and inlets.
You will receive last week's State
Riout3 Democrat, published here,
and I will at the earliest possible day
forward a pamphlet now published or
about being published, giving more in
detail the information you desire.
I havo neglected to say that tho
opening of tho falls of the Willamette
river at Oregon City by a Canal and
Locks, which enterprise was com
pleted and accepted on the 1st of Jan
uary, 1873, is likely to revolutionize
the freighting business to .and from
the different shipping points in this
valley. J. W. Baldwik.
Th e Herald makes the following
sensible sngestions in regard to our
lame militia law:
Oregon has urgent need of a law to
encourage and support her militia sys
tem. At present hery citizen soldiers
receive little or no support from the
State. The laws upon this subject
are faulty. They do not cover it in a
proper manner. At the same time,
they are not enforced to a proper ex
tent. Much of tho tax levied is not
collected, and what is gathered is
clipped ' too closely by those per
forming that duty. The result is that
but a small amount remains for the
several companies of soldiers in the
State Some of them do not receive
a dollar per year, while the amount
paid to others will not cover their
armory expenses. The other costs
of the military organization falls upon
individual members, many of whom
are not able to bear such a tax. The
result is, that young, active men, just
starting in life, are deterred from join
ing military companies, and the whole
system becomes weak, lifeless and
inactive. With a proper militia sys
tem this city would put into the
streets on parade days five hundred
ot as well disciplined soldiers as ever
shouldered a musket. At the present
lima we have not one-third that num
ber of effective troops. The fault
lies in the system, not in jhe people,
and hence tho necessity for a change
in the militia law of the State.
The two steamers which wcro sent

room, in which there was a fire-plact,
while she went to the well for a buck-
t of water, during which time the
hild fell into the fire and waa burned
to death.
Tho McMinnville ferryman last
week accidentally let go the rope
while crossing Dr. Watts and wife,
and that's Watts the matter or was,
for a few hundred yards down the
river, until the Doctor caught hold
of somo- bushes and anchored the
boat.
A California man last week quar
relled with bis stepdaughter and then
tried to blow his own brains out.
They usually blow the stepdaughter's
brains out, (and therefore he must be
a kind, considerate, gentle soul and
ought to be colonized among step
daughters. Two Visalia men having been shot
in the head and neither fatally in
jured, the Delta thinks it would be
much better for people to shoot at
the body, as it would probably be a
more fatal aim- We await with in
terest the details of the next Visalia
shooting scrape. ;
The Corvallis QazefU goes intd
conniptions of joy over the prospect
of a city hearse. . In view of the fact
that the Corvallis City Council have
refused to - buy hoso for their fire
engine, it might be well to get a bearse
big enough to carry the whole town
to a place of decent interment. .
'I. W. Scott. A. P. Dennison, J.
N. Dolph and E. F. Russell, have
incorporated themselves under , the
name of Coos Bay and Coquille
Canal and Transportation Company;
capital stock, $1,250,000. The object
of the company is to connect Coquille
river with Coos Bay by a, canal, etc.
Bro.; Upton, of 'the Lafayette
Courier, has bought a farm adjoining
Laf ayette,and says he will divide his
attention in the future between rais
ing pigs and chickens and editing his
paper. Thus we are to have a "Sage
of Chapperquaw" in our very midst.
It will be in order now to talk about
.raising big beets. ':: 1 ...
, The Gold :: Hill , News' ' local gave
accounts of the appearance of the
gentlemen attending', a recent mas
querade ball in that place, i and now
he don't so out of doors, for" fear
of being "set up in the boot and shoe
busiuess." j The last end of that
young man will ba . worse than . the
first if they get a chance at him. I
