! News Summary. At Lebanon the hop growers have agreed to pay only twenty-five cents per box to pickers this year, on ac count of the extremely low prices pre vailing. It is thought Chinamen can be induced to pick at that price. The hotel at Huntington is nearing completion, tae plasterers being now at work on the structure. The north ern Pacific Hotei company are ready to take the building immediately upon its finishing. This company is said to be running 250 hotels west of Omaha. A Walla Walla exchange says: As harvesting proceeds a better quality than was even expected, was threshed out. The Fife wheat, sewed for the first tiaae, exceeds the most sanguine expectations, and far surpasses that of Minnesota aod Dakota in size, quality and appearance it is now announced that the Ca.ua 5ian Pacific will be completed m six weeks. Thus another steel band links the Atlantic to the Pacific. When the road is built and immigrants began to pour in, we will, undoubtedly, see the Indian forced iato reservations only at the point of the bayonet as on this side of the line. A niagnifroemt e' railroad bridge spanning the Ohio river between Kvansville, Indiana and Henderson $vcntncky, was completed and formally !)ened on the ftth. By means of this bridge, which cost over $2,000,000 the railroad time between Chicago and Nashville and between St. Louis and Nashville and the south is mate rially reduced. The bridge is 3680 feet foots, with a trestle approach of diroe and a half miles on the Indiana side. Salem Statesmen: Work on the Silverton Flouring mills is being rap idly pushed, and they will soon be ready to receive the new machinery, said a Silverton loan yesterday, the machinery is expected to arrive in a few days from the East, and the mill will be in running order in time to hantiie this seasons crop's. The ware house, which has a capacity of 100,000 hnshek is already completed. Kx-(iovernor Chadwick was in town yesterday, having come up from Gal ice trrevk, where he spends much time vatrhin j operations at the Big Vank mine, in which he has a large interest. Govcr'.ii.ir Chadwick thinks the valua ble mineral springs and the grand and beautiful scenery of southern Oregon should attract greater attention from pleasure and health seekers than they now receive. Ashland Tidings. On Wednesday thirteen car-1 ads of cattle were shipped from Pendleton to Chicago. They go via the Oregon Short Line and Union Pacific. This is the third shipment during the pres ent season, and the cattle, owing to the superior accommodation for feeding and watering by this route, arrived at their destination in splendid condition. The two former shipments were made at a profit, and the business promises to grow to large proportions. Independence "West Side:" Ware houses all over the country are being repaired and refitted to receive this year's crop. Most of them have been mptied of last year's crop, although there is still some wheat held in store for an advance. The Independence warehouses will probably all be run by their former managers and will accom modate several hundred thousand bushels of grain. It is thought that a larger amount of grain will be stored in this city this year than ever before. Mr. Shelly of Independence has a very unfortunate nose, says the "West Side." When a boy he broke it while playing ball. A few years later he was thrown from a horse and broke it again. On Tuesday evening his two year old child, whom he was holding on his lap, hit it a blow with his head breaking it the third time. Mr. Shelly has concluded to give the unfortunate nose another chance, and now he has it ornamented with strips of court plas- AH ACT. For the more Effectual Prevention of eity to Animals. Cru- ter.

Oregon's Memorial Stoaa- At the last session of the legislature the sum of $2,000 was appropriated for a memorial stone from this state to be placed in the Washington monu ment, in a niche left for that purpose, says the News, and the contract for executing this work was left to Frank Woods, of Albany. He has been en gaged upon the stone for some time, and expects to have the stone comple ted by August 1 st. Although several states have expended much more than Oregon for a memorial stone, it is sta ted that none yet sent from any state will surpass this one when completed. It is to consist of three kinds of Oregon stone. The stone itself is a brown sandstone bearing on its face a landscape cantaining the coat of arms ! of the state surronnded by fruits and i tiowers, the whole enclosed with a j raised moulding. The stairs surroun j ding the state shield are to be of a j greenish granite set into the sandstone ; u;id the snow capped mountains are to be represented by white marble, also set in brown sandstone. The first salmon of the season were caught on the Coquelle last week. If those caught are a sample of the sea sons run, says the Marshfield News, the canneries will be supplied with a good quality of fish, as they are large and fat. The sea lions are not so nu merous at the entrance to the river as formerly, from the fact that they have been driven off and their numbers so diminished by hunters; hence we may look for a big run of salmon this fall. Salem Statesman: This city has been visited by F. H. Hausman, who represents the firm of Hausman, Kufekc & Co., one of the largest flour commission houses on the Pacific coast and in Liverpool. A Statesman re porter asked him in regard to the prospects in wheat prices for the next year, and was told that there was no promise for better prices for this year, as the amount of grain in the field added to the immense surplus of 1884 will more than supply any demand, and leave plenty in the market. He prophesied that before many seasons, instead of shipping the raw wheat from this coutry, that it would all be sent out in the shape of flour. R. MONTGOMERY. Lively, feed and Sale Stable.
