3 Mews Summary. There is a great demand in Portland for girls to do housework. The Washington County Fair will be held July 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. The graduates of the State Uuivei sity will be 1 2 in number 6 men and 6 women. About $100,000 worth of fruit was recently killed in one night in Boise Valley, Idaho. Real estate transactions in Multno mah county last week were 28 in number, aggregating $25,639. The foundry at the penitentiary turns out about fifty stoves per day. There are now about 5000 there awaiting shipment. All the fruit in Kittitas valley was killed bv frost last week, even the cur rants and other small fruits in bloom were also killed. Indians at The Dalles complain that the white man is crowding them away from their old fishing grounds, and that they are thus deprived of their livelihood. A new post office has recently been established on the Little Luckiamute about eight miles west of Dallas, Polk county, called Syracuse. The new High school building of Portland will be the finest structure of the kind on the Pacific Coast, when completed this falL There is nothing to compare with it in San Francisco. News. About 3,000,000 pounds of. wool were shipped from Alkali City on the Oregon Railway and Navigation Road last year. This year it is claimed on good authoritv, that the shipments will reach nearly 4,000,000 pounds. The war of rates between Wells. Fargo & Co. and the Northern Pacific Express company on the Eastern busi ness came to an end last week, when both companies signed an agreement to restore rates to the basis of what the Northern Pacific's were before Wells, Fargo ife Co. entered the Eastern field. Walla Walla Journal: "Plans and specifications for a $16,000 post hos pital have been prepared, and invita tions for proposals will no doubt be is sued in a short time. It would seem to be the intention, from this and other improvements completed and in progress, to make Fort Walla Walla a permanent post." A petition has been forwarded to the post office department for the establish ment of a daily mail route from Suver to Kings Valley. The people of that -thriving section of the country have virtually had no mail facilities at all, ten days time often elapsing before a letter from Portland could reach that office. Over seven hundred people get their mail at Kings Valley post office and they deserve much better facilities than they now have. West Side. The Dalles Democrat: "The last Sun gives sundry good reasons why it would be for the good of all concerned to cut Oregon in two and form anoth er State. We have long thought such a movement would be a good one; but there is an insurmountable objection to such a proposition. That is, the federal Constitution says: "No new State shall be formed, or erected with in the jurisdiction of any other State.' We cannot see how to get over or un der, or through this plain .provision of the Constitution." i , -l Victoria people have discovered I Farm for .sale. that a Russian who was recently in A farm oonsUtiag of W suited for farming ana stock raising. that city ostensibly purchasing furs, situated in Lane county, Oregon, together was in reality a spy, who took drawings some explored People generally, and even those who may be termed steady readers and close observers, have but a faint conception of the magnitude and influence the press of this country has attatned. From a careful examination of the ad vance pages of the 1885 edition of the American Newspaper Directory, it ap pears that there are 14,147 newspapers and periodicals published in the Unit ed States and Canada; of these the United States has 12,953, at average one paper for every 3,767 persons. In 1884 the total number of newspapers was less by 823 than at present, and while the gain this year is not so mark ed as in some previous years, it is still considerable. Kansas shows the great est increase, the number being 78, while Illinois follows with a gain of 77. It is curious to notice that New York, the scene of so much political activity during the last campaign, should have only about one-third as many new pa pers as the state of Pennsylvania. As an index to the comparative growth and prosperity of different sections of the country, especially the territories, the number of new papers forms an in teresting study, and may well occupy the attention of the curious. of the harbor and fortifications. A late frost in Jackson county play ed sad havoc in several vineyards, nip ping the tender blossoms on many vines. Some vineyards will have few grapes, while m others there win De at least half a crop. Under the laws of Oregon a loaded cane is classed as a deadly weapon, and persons owning them should be careful how they are used. Carrying them concealed makes a person liable to arrest and prosecution for carrying concealed weapons. William Pendland the sheep king of Morrow countv, has 20,000 head of sheep, 10,000 acres of deeded land under fence, and will bnild a $5000 Court House "and present it to the new county, provided the county seat is lo cated at his place. The O. R. & N. company's lines will, it is now definitely stated, be leased jointly to the Northern and Union Pacific Railroads. This will be beneficial to Portland, as the Northern will desire good dividends from the lease and be in no haste to complete the Cascade branch. Gold Beach Gazette: "For reason the parties who Rogue river, with a view to placing a steamboat on the river; have failed to hand in their report. But we under stand they were favorably impressed with the prospect, and will probably give us a steamboat." Harney valley, Crant county, about 50 miles long and 40 miles wide and the population numbers nearly 2,000. The principal industry is stock raising. There has been a small but steady immigration this spring, and 500 more people are expected to set tle there before the 1st of next July Wheat in the northeastern part of Umatilla countv will not suffer even if there will be 'no rain in the next three or four weeks. In some localities the frost nipped the tips of the wheat and it now has a reddish cast, and to some looks dry, but Fall sown grain never was better stooled and more favorable for a large yield. Spokane Review: A gentleman named Henderson arrived recently in the city direct from Murray and reports that six men in four day's work had just cleaned up $5000 in dust in Mis soula gulch. This is one of the rich est strikes yet made in the Cceur d' Alcne mines, and is a sample of what that bitterly maligned district is capa ble of producing. " The Chronicle's crop report from all parts of California shows that in all counties but one (Shasta) the grain yield will be only three-quarters of the last year's yield. This is largely due to decreased acreage. The fruits dis tricts report largely increased acreage and promising crops. What is lost in grain will be made up in fruit and wine. Kansas has already opened the cy clone season with two or three good sized water-spouts drowning 30 or 40 people and washing away the stock and improvements off many farms. Colorado enjoyed the heaviest snow- tall on the 23rd of April, since the 1st of January, while the Oregon boys and girls were picking wild strawberries by the gallon and the birds are watching with covetous eye the reddening cher ries. with stock, such as horses, cattle, consisting of No. 1 milch cows, one. two and three year olds, a small band of fine graded sheep, and hogs; also farming implements, all that are necessary on the place, in good repair, seed aud feed, all of which will be sold at a bargain.

Craig iggggjgg) The Brownsville woolen mill of this state has been awarded the gold medal at the World's exposition in New Or leans for their fine exhibit of Oregon wools and their superb blankets. Those who are in the habit of think ing that anything imported is so much better than the home production ought to be made to feel keenly the gentle rebuke given in this reward. Here is no home inspired boom of Oregon products but a dispassionate outside judgement by entirely disinter ested persons selected for their dis cretion and skill in these matters. On last Monday a gentleman living in Eugene City packed fifteen live carp ranging from five to eight inches in length, in a paper box inlaid with green grass and covered up the fish with more green grass and sent them by express to Mr. Conard Meyer of this city, who, on their reciept placed them in a vessel containing water when ten of them were found to be alive. Afterward one more died. The distance of shipment was about 45 miles, which seems to establish the fact that carp are imbued with great tenacity of life.
