Wheat.
AH over the world the word wheat is
heard mere at the protest thus than any
other word , why, simply because it la
extraordinary cheap. 65 cento here scares
us, bat in the East, in England, every
where. It is proportionately chea p. So
long as this is true farmers and others
ahould take matters coolly and not be
come too do pressed . Water will generally
and its level, and if wheat Is 55, it means
that other things fermerly 70 to 8o will be
55 also ; where' the difference.
Notwithstanding the present outlook
mauy are confident the price will come
up to at (east 70. if not higher, something
to be desired, notwithstanding all water
evel seeking theor es ; for it at least ex
iles greater confidence.
Spriug wheat looks somewhat pinched,
and most of it is bound to rank second
class, 45 to 50 , is all that has been of
fered for much of it here this week. Be
sides being pitched on!y about a half
crop will be the result.
Fall wheat, though, regardless of num
erous items in Portland papers, is first
class, and this fact cannot o ahaken by
Portland speculators tending samples
from a Washington county farm la Liver
pool. The crop is above the average in
yield, and even at low prices farmers are
going to weather it, and by judicious
management and economy, will come out
on top.
Sastth r Ifiew.
Dr Agnew, there is something big in that
name, so much nicer than Smith, it indicate
more skill and brains, and better judgment I
Wiiham Poun Smith, of Portland, ha just
succeeded in getting hi name changed to
the above and now he must feel like a newly
married woman ; bat what thinks the sensi
ble reader of a man who will go back on bis
parent in this style. Perhaps Dr Agoew
forgot all about the celebrated Adam Smith,
the Scottish philosopher, Albert. James and
Horace Smith, the Eilish authors. Garni
Smith, the American philanthropist, J a
Smith, one of the signer j of the Declaration
of Independence, John Smith, the founder of
Virginia, Sidney Smith, the English divine,
William Smith, the father of English Geolo
gy, etc., etc. Me will be very much deceiv
ed if he thinks a name will give a man a
practice. Dr. William 1'enn Smith Agoew
has at times been located at Albany, Harru
borg and Corvallia.
Last Monday the time from Portland to
San Francisco by rail and stage was re

The papers all over the State point with
pride to big yields of crops of any kind,
and with much reason, for it exhibit the
capacity of the soil, and, as woli some
times the ability of the farmer. None of
our exchanges have chronicled anything
that equals a yield on the farm of K A
Irvine, uetween Albany and Lebanen, 7
acres of wheat, yielded 458 bushels, an
average of 65 bushels to the acre. 214
bushels of seed wheat to the sere being
need. Many an Eastern farmer would
think he was doing well to get 458 bushels
off 38 acres. From 10 acres of oats, 2
bushels of seed wheat to the acre being
used he got 555 bushels, an average of
55 bushels to the acre. Mr Irvine's
whole yield shewed not only good soil, but
n icoasnaoDly gcod farming one large
fiild of wbtat averaging 45 buvhels to the
acre.

Maple Sugar
Considerable discuss on bee been raised
f lately ae to whether maple sugar can be
raised in Oregon, A Southern Oregon ex
obange aays on the subject :
Jas A Sterling. County Assessor, called
our attention to an Item in Monday's "O s
gonian," oonceruing Oregon maple sugar.
It says that if there is any sugar maple in
Oregon the 4,c Ideet 1 n ti abitaut "never found
it, Mr Sterling ays that John Ogle, now
living at Kalana, vv.T.,and himself made
sugsr and syrup from the sap ol the tree
growing on tbe Calipoola, above Oakland,
In 1868. Owing to the scarcity of maple
trees la that section, they did not make
any except for their own ue, Both the
syrup and sugar were of excellent flavor
aad fully up to that usually sold here as
pure Vermont syrup Mr S. has had con
siderable experience in this buslnsss and
thinks that this should prove a profitable
industry in Oregon.

The ftnatJam Mines.
I) W Prentice, the well knows Portland
musio dealer, returned to Portland the first
of the week from the above mines, wbsn he
wss Interviewed by a " re poster ia tbs
following manner ;
''I have just returned from Resurrection
camp, in the Hanttam country, and the mines
are looking splendid, Within s fsw dsys
there will be bullion coming from there, snd
1 iotond to eshibit it right in thst window,"
said D W Prentice, the music man, to one
of the graphite artists of this paper yesterday
while in his store on First street.
"Where sre these mines situated ?"
"About sixty miles southeast of Salem, ia
Linn county. Of late quite an interest has
been manifested, and recent developments
give promise of rich returns te those who srs
Interested there. We now have one of Sal
mon a crushing mills at ths minss made
right here in this city and as tbe ere will
average from 888 to 70 per ton, it will not
be long before bullion will be produced there.
Mr Christie lias charge ef the mill and he ia
satiatied that the era can be reduced with
ths apparatus that is now on the ground.
My mine, ths Black Jsok, has a tunnel 125
feet long, I o going this distance aix veins
of rich ore from three to eight inches in
width wars encountered. These stringers
will pay big and I am satisfied that they lead
to a large central ore body. "
Mr Prentice bare exhibited some speci
mens taken from his mine, which wers very
noli. There is one specimen which bv de
clared would assay very large, and from the
numerous specks of gold visible, it looked as
though Mr Prentice had, if anything, under
estimated its value.

Mrs Gilmour, rue Miss Emma Csesady
was born in Plokaway Co., Ohio, May 8th

1377. Three children were born to them
two ef whom aurvive their mother. She wss
attacked by that insidious disease consump

and although ahe aunered much and waa
perfectly conscious that she was slowly, but
surely passing away, no murmur was ever
heard from her lips, her deepest solicitude
being for her sorrowing husband and ckil
dren. All thst the husband assisted by good
and true frisnds at Sodavills and vicinity
could do was done te smooth ths pathwsy of
the gentle and loving wife and mother to the
tomb and she passed swsy perfectly recon
eiled sure of her reward in the world beyond.
Her funeral at Sand Ridge cemetery was
very largely attended, neighbors and friends
thus testifying to the high esteem in which
deceased waa held In the community. Ths
bereaved husband and motherless children
havs the heartfelt sympathy of this commu

"Hoys will be boys," and It lo not
right to treat thsm for their offenses
quite as severely as you wonld amen.
1 hey will do a great many tilings one
is bound to overlook, for we did the
same tricks when boys ourselves. It is
human nature. In a clly in the East
recently a youth waa arrested for break
fug a pane of glass, by a man who bad
forgotten he was ever a boy. Here Is
what tbe -fudge said i
"I wouldu't bring ab sy into court for
breaking a pans of glass. It only hard
ens him if I had been arn sted for all
the mischiefs I did when a boy, where
would I be ? The boy says he broke
the glas accidentally. I believe bim,
and will pay for the glass and discharge
the boy. Come and get your money."
This acted 0 on the complainant that
he rushed out of court In shame, and
tbs boy orlsd for Joy and promised to be
good In the future.

Then why should we grumble. As long
as wheat is cheap every where.lt means
that other things must be chesp

prices currant. A low price for wheat
should be no sign of coming bard times.

A New Vork paper shows what It

this remark, "Chinese would become
attached to this government and eettle

if we treated Uietn with common de

offer to other emigraato." Netting
more fallacious was ever uttered. Yon
might ae well try to turn water into
wine as to try to make an American
citlteo ofa Chinaman. It caanet be
done. People from other nations come
here with the Intention ot making this
there home : but tbe Chinaman leaves
his wife and children at home, sends all
his money back to them, and never
ceases to have the fixed purpose of re
turning when be baa accumulated a
certain amount. As for treatment, be

not better. He will get his pay for saw

gets hie goods at reduced prices, and is
not disturbed In his home mere than
