THE TURN OF THE TIDE.
. A verj suggestive item appeared
in the Portland papers a day or two
backthat the first ripples of the
approaching flood of immigration to
this State by the Northern Pacific
route would probably reach us in
Jane, when only one day's stage
journey of 150 , miles would remain
between the Eastern and Western
ends of the track. The.residents u
the Willamette Valley must :ake ear
y steps to counteract as far as possi
ble the efforts that will surely be
inade by the Northern Pacific, under
Mr. Villard's controlling power, to
retain and restrain all the incomers in
Eastern Oregon and Washington,
all possible public and private infor
tnation should be sent on East as to
the resources and future of the Wil
lamette valley and South Western
Oregon, for it cannot be too often
said that we want here, in these val
ley counties, our fair share of the pop
ulation and capital coming in
Here the new arrivals can be atarted
on their road to comfort and prosper
ity, from the higher ground already
won by the present citizens of West
era Oregon; and they aie not here
driven to begin absolutely from the
bare earth. Let us all strive to make
clear to all the world that where
fertility of soil, and mildness or en
rnate can be enjoyed with the other
advantages of advanced civilizat'on,
and vliam vet there is room for
thousands of happy families, there
should the thoughful and educated
immigrant fiud his way, rather than
that he should be all but compelled to
cast in his lot with the bold and
rough men now undertaking to buK
rjue and break up the wilderness of
the north eastern portions ot the

TEREISLE EXPLOSION.
On Sunday afternoon at four
o'clock a terrific explosion occured at
the Giant Powder words three miles
from Berkely, California. All the
buildings belonging to the works were
distroyed, and about 50 Chinamen
killed and many wounded. There
was a series of explosions, the first
oo:uringin the packing house, but
in what manner is unknown. It is
supposed that flying embers and the

indicates an unusually good prospect
forvthe coming crop. The favorable
weather during the fall and winter,
has been well used by farmers, and
tie result is a;, largely increased acer-
age. In Yamhill, say3 the Register,
the prospects were never better, in
regard ..both to the amount sown
and the appearance of the growing
crop. Tiie work of good cultivation
for some years past has been reward
ed with greatly increased yield. It
has also demonstrated the fact that
heavy productions does not impov
erish the soil. Some of the oldest
settled farms in the county which
have been farmed continuously from
the settlement of the country have
for some years past produced some of
the heaviest yields reported.
DISCOURAGING LITIGATION.
An act providing for Taxirg Pro

The. then attacked the express car,
where they were met by a rapid fus
illade from A. Y. Ross, express mes
senger. The fire was returned brisk
ly and some thirty shots were ex
changed when the robbers finding
the resistance more Spirited than they
has expected, and probably fearing
a demonstration on the part ot tne
passengers, decamped. No one is
known to have been killed or wound
ed. The passengers were not mo
lested.
From A. Y. Boss, the heroic mes
senger of Wells Fargo & Co.'s ex
press, we Iearn'that j ust as the train
was nearing the west switch or Mon
tilla, a red light was displayed in
front of the engine and the engineer
stopped.'when masked men immedi
ately took charge of the train.
They gathered the train men together
jtnd locked them and the conductor,
James tJasson, in the water" tank.
They then returned to the train and
annrnac.htxl iheexovess car, and Boss
,,t - ,
thinking they were at the station,
opened the door, when they swore at
him and demanded that he should
come down. He replied: "Just
.rive me time to get my boots on,
will von?" and locked the door.
They commenced filing throguh the
door, but the sturdy messenger got
hi ran down and replied to their
is J
shots. They then called for him to
en rrm rlfii- fir thev would burn the
car.
The west bound train was now ap
nrnnnliinar SO thev nulled No. 1 on
v e j r
the side track to let the west bound
train by, and sent a number of thei
party to escort the traiu through,
they telling the conduc'-or and en
giueer to "Get out of here," which
they did, making fast time to the
first telegraph station, which was
itirf.v milps distant. As soon as
that train was disposed of they back
ed No. 1 on the main line again, de
tached the express car from the train
and threw it on the side track and
commenced their operations again
They took the coal picks from the
engine and crawled along the side of
the car and would strike the door and
then dodge under. In this way they
succeeded in knocking in the panels
of both doors of the express car, but
Ross was barricaded and exchanged
shots with them. They tried to fire
the car, getting what wood they
could from the engine, but was un
successful, and finaly, after three
hours of trying, by nine desperadoes
they withdrew a short distance for
consultation, and then mountedjthei
horses and rode off. Of course mes
senger Ross is the hero of the hour.
He was shot three times, one bullet
striking his left fore finger and rang
ing down into his hand, another hit
ting him in the left hip and just burn
ing the flesh, and the third passing
through his vest, tearing his clothes
but not injouring him.
After the robbers had left and the
train men were liberated, the train
proceeded on its way. When the
tram reached Ogd en a large crowd
was on the platform to meet messen-
(TPr Ross and to hear his story. The
r -
cindition of the car tells the story
far more forcibly than pen can dc
The passengers all speak in the
highest terms of the brave messenger
who saved the train.
The cornices of Fleckeiistean & Meyer's
building and the Central block took fire,
but were extinguished. Nearly every pane
of ulass in the latter block was broken by
the heat, After throo hours' good work
the fire was practically under control.

Loss Nearly a Quarter Million
The two fires at four o'clock last Friday
morning in Portland, were confined to their
original limits. Everything in Corbitt &
Maeley's extensive wholesale grocery house,
extending through from Front to First
street, was burned. Not a dollar's worth
of goods was saved. Both fronts of the
building are standing, and will probably
not have to come down. The fire was dis
covered by Capt. A. P. Ankeny, wlxo rooms
in New Market block. .Through one of the
front windows, lowered at the top for ven
tilation, dense smoke poured into his lodg
ings. This awakened him and he immedi
ately began search about the theater block
to discover the fire. Not finding fire in the
bnilding, he started out to First street and
saw heavy, dense smoke forcing its way
through the second story windows of the
block formerly owned by, him. About the
same time, B. Blanchet, nightwatchman at
Ash street dock, made like discovery, but
was unable to exactly locate tb,e fire.
The flames did not buist out until half
past four. Fire was confined to the first
story, and both entrances being barred by
iron doors, the flames could not find vent
until tbey had burned . through the second
story and shot out of the unbarred windows.
Before that the fire seemed to roll np and
