There has been a great deal xvyt- ten and said in relation to the soil and productions o f Eastern Oregon, and actual experience lias demon strated facts lately, that were con sidered visionary in the early settle ment of this portion of our State. In the early settlement of this section o f country it was considered that the ■oil was, in a measure,good for noth ing for agricultural purposes, and that the only business that could be followed here profitably was that of mining and stock raising; that our ■oil was not fit for cultivation or ag ricultural purposes. The experi e n ce of our farmers for th| past three or four years has put to flight this •roneoup idea, and it is now a dem onstrated fact that the soil of East ern Oregon is equal in productive ness to any in the State. Persons on first visiting our sage brush, .alkali plains are impressed with the-same idea that first obtain ed among our early settlers, that nothing could be grown on such soil as they saw spread out before them, but -observation teaches the one that such is not the fact, and ac tual experience teaches the other that their -first impressions were wrong, and that the soil of our sage brush alkali plains produces every thing entrusted to its generating properties equal to any other soil, and actual experience demonstrates a further fact, «which is that the lon ger such laud;is cultivated the bet ter the soil becomes, and the better the yield per acre. The cause of this is conceived to be from the fact that cultivation has a tendency to destroy the alkali .properties with which the Roil originally was so per fectly impregnated. In the Willow Creek Valley first rate corn is raised where the sage brush used to staud so large and thick that it was almost impossible to drive a wagon. In Powder River Valley our best culti vated farms produce from thirty to sixty bushels of wheat to the acre; and of oats from fifty to one hundred bushels to the acre, and the past sea son but little irrigation was needed to accomplish this result. Our farmers arc beginning to real ize the fact that they have good land well adapted to the raising of small grain, and that for fruit growing it is as good as the best on the coast.— The high altitude aud cold nights preclude* the raising of corn with any certainty of good crops. Eastern Oregon may be set down as one of the best stock ranges in the world; and for the growing of all kinds of vegetables it is second to cone, and for small cereal it is as good as the best, and for fruit we are satisfied, from what we have seen, that there will be no reason to com plain. Our fruit is of the best and richest flavor—far su passing that fit the Willammette Valley. To make this one of the most de sirable places to live, we now need but the means of quick and cheap transportation for our surplus pro ducts,, and then Eastern Oregon will be piade to yield wealth untold to the husbandman j as well as to all other classes of our citizens, and our country will speedily fill up with healthy and prosperous citizens, who would poon become wealthy and in dependent, bringing with them man ufactories of all descriptions neces sary to the wants and demands of a rich and prosperous people. C r o f u t t ’ s W estebn "W o r l d .— T his is the title of a monthly publication published at New York and San Francisco. It is a large sixteen page paper and is devoted to the interests of the Western States and Territor ies, and its editor takes great pains to obtain the most authentic and re liable news possible in relation to all matters pertaining to this section of country, but ouce iu a while he, as are all other editors, is iuformed by irresponsible scribblers who wish to see their name or initials in pnblic print, and who wilfully or from i g norance misrepresent what they write abonl. and as a sample of this style of correspondence we give the following extract from a communi cation dated Baker City, Sept. 9th., 1873, and signed with the initials of W. 8. N .,in which the writer says: “ Discoveries of quartz mines are frequent, but few are worth work ing. Among the latter the ’ Connor Creek’ was supposed to l»e the best, but alas! for the high hopes of the purchasers, this, too,has given out.” Everybody in this section of coun try who knows anything about tbiB ledge, knows the above to be false in more points than one. First— the ledge has never been sold and is still in the hands of the original discov erers. Second—it has not given ont, but, on the contrary, is getting bet ter. The owners of this ledge have a five stamp mill running on it and have, ever since the mill started, made big wages and profits out of ' the Ledge. The rock is decomposed quartz and one man can take ont fif teen and twenty tons per day. We are assured that the Ledge is very rich, so much so that a pan of the decomposed quartz can be taken and washed, and one dollar to the pan realized.* We should say that this fact does not demonstrate that the Ledge hail given out. We would advise the World not to place too much reliance on W .S . N’s statements, for they will find a great many as incorrect as are the above. ■ ■ ■ — — -------------— M a so n ic H a l l .— On last Friday evening the New Masonic Hall, of this city, was dedicated by Grand Master McF. Eatton, in accordance with the ancient rites and eeremou- ies of the Craft on such occasion.— After which Hon. S. F. Chadwick delivered an appropriate and inter esting address, which was listened to with marked attentiou by the members of the Fraternity, as well as by a large number of our citizens who were present to witness the ded ication ceremonies. Mr. Chadwick is an easy,pleasant speaker,and fully qualified to do this or any other sub ject justice. The audience were well pleased with the address, and were only sorry that it was so brief. The New Hall of the E’ raternity in this city is one of the finest in the State. It is located in the new block o f Stone Buildings erected here this season. It is hard finished;it is next to the corner, with an entrance in the rear. The ante rooms are conve niently arranged. The Frateruitj justly feel proud of their Hall. Alter the dedication ceremonies and the address, the members of the Craft and their friends were invited to partake of a bountiful repast which was spread in Roberts aud Nelson’s Hall adjoining the Masonic. While the repast was being discussed the Hall was cleared, and those who were wout to join iu the amusement of “ tripping the light fantastic toe,’’ formed upon tne floor and had a pleasant time, which was kept up till about oue o'clock in the morn ing. Everything passed oil' in the most pleasant manner, and the Fra ternity deserved great credit for their efforts to make the time pass pleas antly, in which they were eminently successful.

A W o n d e r f u l H o g . —The China man who was arrested" some time siuce for stealing one of Ried Sc Fletcher’s fat begs, did not steal the hog. The hog was killed some ten or fifteen Gays before the Chinamen stole it. That hog was a wonderful hog; it had a hole in its ear that weighed three hundred pounds,— the hole was a natural hole, but the hog had no ears—the dogs tore them off; the hog weighed three hundred pounds and the holeiu its ear weighed three hundred pounds, so it would appear that the weight o f the hog was six hundred pounds. It had no tail, but its tail was about two or three inches long, and the three hun dred pound hole was iu the right hand corner of the ear. The China men bought the hog on North Pow der, and it was his h o g —but it was not—it was Ried & Fletcher's. Ail the abovo facts come out in tho trial of the case. Now the question is, whose hog was it? The Chi.ua- mau was found not guilty. C ir c u it C o u r t .— The Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for Baker County, adjourned on last Saturday night a little before twelve o’clock, alter being in session two weeks.— There was a large docket, and Judge McArthur had to hold court night and day to get through with the bus iness. He is q u icK , prompt and a good Judge. Our people are well pleased with him, and be has the thauks of all for bis nut in o g endeav ors to get through with tbebnsiness.
