Many immigrants are arriving in Portland daily, and to say that they are delighted with the country only half expresses their joy at reaching a laud of sunshine and ver dure after getting away from the frozen East. Their reports to friends will increase the immigration Eastern people have become very much airitatecl over the demoralizing effects of roller skating rinks, and recently a bill has been introduced in the New York Lcgisia tnre to prohibit the admission of girls under sixteen to rinks after eight o'clock in the evening;, unless accompanied by their parents. Chinamen don't let a load of wood get cold in the streets of Portland. They wat ;h it in squads and companies from the time the granger crosses the city boundary till it is unloaded, then they pounce upon the purchases like a pack of hungry wolves to get the job of cutting it. A poor white man stands no chance in an uneven ;ontest over a wood pile. The deputy assessors of Pierce county, Washington Territory, have just completed their labors of taking the census, and the total is approximately stated by Assessor Macready at nearly 11,000 souls. The city population will reach nearly or quito 7000, showing a namUouie increase in the last two years. The Chinese in Tacoma number about 500. The present indications are that the stagnation in business which prevailed so long is about t ;n end and a new era of prosperity is dawning. Pittsburg and other great manufacturing centers report a brighter outlook, and a general move on the part of manufacturers in the direction of active operation. All lines of trade and in dustry seem t be bright?ning up and a Hopeful feeling prevails where all was gloom and despondency a short time ago. A gentleman residing in Linn county hai just returned from east of the Cascades by the Lebanon route, and reports the hills and valleys of Wasco and Crook counties ver daut with young grass and stock of all kinds thriving finely. There is but little snow in the mountains for this season of the year, and it is his opinion that a'l will have disappeared by the first of May and that the road will be passable for wagons. Polk comity's share of the state tax for this year is $19,055-85.

A large Columbia river salmon will be shipped this week to Queen Victojia, and it is expected to go through from Portland to London in fourteen days.

We are informed, says the Albany Her ald-Disseminator, that the stock. holders in the Linn county fair grounds propose to sell out the grounds to the county for use as a poor farm. The larger share, if not all the stock holders, will donate their stock, so that tbe price to be paid will not be large, and the investment a good one for the connty. If such an arrangement could be made it certainly would be.lietter than let ting the grounds go to ruin as they are now going. The county heads a place of thi kind and it wonld be economy to procure it. Mr. L. Westacott, who cultivates ten acres of hops, a short distance southeast of Salem, sold his last year's crop, consisting of 12,000 pounds iu bales, a few days ago, for 15 cents per pound. Eighteen hundred dollars for one year's yield from ten acres of land is pretty good. Hop ra'sers are now very busy throughout the valley. The forwardness of the spring has caused the young vines to spring up much earlier than is usnal, hence- the haste to put hop ground in order to pole the vines. Statesman. In an article on the mines of Santiam, the Salem Statesman says: "Parties interested in the development of the quartz mines on the Santiam are making preparations to do extensive work in that auriferous region during the coming summer. The prospect ing which was done in years past amounted to comparatively nothing. Fine specimens of gold-bearing quartz were found, but after exhausting their limited capita, the pro prietors subsided, and the mines are practi cally undeveloped. Had the specimens taken i.-oni the Santiam mines been taken from anywhere in Nevada or California, millions of dollars would have been expend ed to develop the ledge. It is, therefore, evident that there is something in locality as well as in a name." Albany to be $1,068,140, from which will be deducted an indebtedness of $65,651 as allowed by one of the provisioos of the new charter. The Oregon on ber last trip, took 200 tors of old railroad iron, aod the State of Cal ifornia sailing Tuesday, takes 150 tons of the same. It is consigned to the San Fran cisco rolling mills, where it will be worked over. The material came from the O. ft C. yard on the east side, which has recently been repaired and relaid with steel rails. The Dayton woolen mills burned at 9:30 o'clock Friday morning, caused by spon taneous combustion in the cariing room. The loss is $30,000 with $20,000 insurance. All the patterns and designs are destroyed. Some uninsured stock in the warehouse was saved. The mills will be rebuilt. The mills were owned by Fouts & Co., formerly of Oregon City. It seems that we are soon to know whether the "man in the moon" is or is Hot a myth. The successful casting of the lenses for the great Lick telescope has finally been accomplished, ami they only need polishing now to be ready for use. Ia look ing through this telescope, says a San I' rancisco paper, it is reckoned that the moon will be brought within thirty miles of the earth, and that discoveries will be made on that plauet to solve problems that have heretofore been held to be unsolvable. One of the contestants in the recent roller-skating nice in New York has died from the effects of physical and mental ex haustion, brought ou by the strain, auother has developed a sickening malady through poisoning, anu nearly all the contestants who remained on the track till the finish are more or less wrecked. Such exhibitions are little less cntel tlinn those which de lighted the Romans in the amphitheater, ana it is not a good sign that they are so liberally supported. Very few residents of Albany, says a cor respondent to the Orejouian, even are aware of the fact that during the past two months negotiations have been pending between number of business men here and an eastern capitalist for the erection of a woolen mill at this place. This is the fuct, however. and the business has formed so definite a shape that there remains ne doubt that it will be built. Less than a $50,000 guar antee from this city will insure its being built the coining summer. The remainder of the money will be furnished as stated, by an eastern capitalist. The mill, as pro posed, will be furnished with the latest im proved machinery and will employ about 125 hands. A public meeting will be called next week to consider the matter. Matters are progressing encouragingly at the new site of the United States Indi.-.n training school just north of Salem, under the personal supervision of Colonel McCon- ville. The railroad company have built a switch leading from the main . track to the temporary quarters, which are not in view from rhe O. & C. R. R. track. The new buildings, h lwever. plans for which have been already selected and forwarded to r headquarters at Washington, D. C, foi approval, will be erected ou a piece of rising ground bnt a short distance from the track, and will be of a first class of architecture that will be at once pleasing and attractive. Crops are being put in and proposals for construction of buildings will soon be adver tised for. The coming season promises to be a busy one in that immediate locality. Temperance Departnmt. EDITED BY THE W. C. T. 0. Try It and See We are told that if we have a local option law, or if we have a prohibitory law, we cannot make men moral or sober by such acts of the legislature) Can't we though? But you make men drunken solely by legal statute. If ycu do not believe this, try to make men drunk without availing yourself of the legal means. Set u p your shop, -stock it with liquors and sell to a single man or boy and what happens? The country pounces down upon you, and quickly says to you, "What business have you to make people drunk? I'll put you in prison." And away you go. So that if you want to make people drunk you must do just what the law prescribed, you must get a license, you must sell to such and such persons. Get this authority and you may go ahead mak ing drunkards; fail to get this and you shall make no drunkards, so it is our drunkards, are made by act of legislature. Now if legislature can devise a plan for making drunkards, it can equally as easily, as well, and infinitely more honorably, refuse to enact machinery for making drunkards, and if it now assumes the power to keen the monopoly of drunkard making in its own hands, it can with eual right refuse to ex ercise or allow any one else to exercise it. The Way he "Stands" them Off. The other day half a dozen good and true democrats from a western state, says the Washington correspondent of the Philadel phia Times went to the White house to see the president about certain offices they had come for. There was perfect agreement among themselves, and all they wanted was to have Mr. Cleveland to agree with them. Of his doing so they had little doubt when he bad heard them state their case. They were admitted and a hearty handshaking followed. Then the spokesman of the party spoke up: "You see." said he, "We're all democrats, hard workers for the party, and have concluded that these offices would be about the fair thing. We're all agreed about the business and would like to have it done up right soon." Mr. Cleveland listened attentively as thej all spoke around. When" thev had done he spoke: Are the men iu office not of good charac ter?" They all said thev were, and added: But they are republicans and we're demo crats. W e think turn-about would be the fair thing. " "Are you prepared to charge them with anything wrong in office? Do they administer the offices satisfactorily? They said they had nothing to charge against them, mly they we:e republicans. You see, " said one, perceiving where the thing was drifting, "we all workel hard for ine pjirty last tall, and our district gave a larger majority than ever. We thought the offices would go with the election, and so we've come for them." "When will the terms of the incumbents expire?" asked the president. They all spoke np: "Two years. 1 wo years, repeated the presi- 'ent musiugly, immediately adding: ome and see me then !" Another Darty ot office seekers appeared at the White house and stated their case in about the same way as the other. They were democrats and hail agreed ?mong themselves who should have certain offices, the terms of the incum bent'! of which would not expire for some time. Mr. Cleveland heard them through and then said: "I don't see anything be tween you and the offices except the law and my piomise to see it executed!" Tc another company on a similar errand he said: "There is a law bearing on the ques tion, and I have had something to say my self about removals and appointments, which you will find in my letter to Mr. Curtis. Neither seems to have received your attention, and I will be glad to send you copies of both. " To a democrat who was importunate in his demand for a certain office now held by a republican widuly known for ability and truthfulness, the president after listening for the third time to the story, said: "Yon just bring me the charges on which the incumbent can justly be removed and I will take up the question. You must show that he is dishonest, in capable, or in some other way unfaithful. Till that is done I will do nothing."
