About 3,000,000 pounds of. wool

to be the intention, from this and
other improvements completed and in
progress, to make Fort Walla Walla a

A petition has been forwarded to the
post office department for the establish

virtually had no mail facilities at all,

letter from Portland could reach that

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."

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.

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

The O. R. & N. company's lines
will, it is now definitely stated, be
leased jointly to the Northern and

beneficial to Portland, as the Northern

the Cascade branch.

Harney valley, Crant county,

Wheat in the northeastern part of
Umatilla countv will not suffer even if
there will be 'no rain in the next three

frost nipped the tips of the wheat and
it now has a reddish cast, and to some
looks dry, but Fall sown grain never

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.

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. Democrat
