Waitsburg will ship and griud this season not less than 20,000 tous, or 666,666 bushels of wheat. Plowing and seeding in this county, says the Yamhill Reporter, is well advanced now, further perhaps than ever before at this season of the year. The long continued warm weather after the fall rains make the hills look green and lovely. The trees hold their foliage; many are in bloom again and bearing the second crop. June wheat is growing rank, and if it cannot be pas tured down, and this warm weather con tinues, it will be necessary to mow it to prevent it from jointing or even heading out Several weeks ago, soundings on the Col umbia river bar were completed under the personal direction of Lieutenant Burr.

He has purchased a farm of 480 acres, five miles from Albany, for $12,000. The wheat yield of the Inland Empire is astonishing. Fully 600,000 acres in Eastern Oregon and Washington have beeu harvest ed, with an average yield of over 30 bush els. The great snow storm last Winter con tributed to this result.

Yamhill Reporter. The Dallas city council has provided that all manufacturing enterprises costing $2,000 more, shall be exempt from city taxation for the first five years after their comple tion. Dallas has a magnificent water power which should be utilized instead of running to waste as it has for the past two years. If a few of the moss-backed capitalists would invest a few thousand dollars in some manufacturing enterprise, instead of work ig the per cent, rule, Dallas would boom is it never has before. A correspondent of the East Oregonian writing from Pilot Rock, Umatilla county, states that if half the reports that are in cir culation are true, a large part of the male population of that region would be serving terms in the penitentiary. Stock stealing and land grabbing are the special crimes mentioned in connection with these citizens of Umatilla county. These are peculiar vices of the frontier aud are apt to go un punished until murder renders them partic ularly notorious and lynching steps iu and makes speedy if not satisfactory settlement f boundary Hues and cattle brands. Good reports are again coming in from the Cceur d' Alene section, and it would seem that, after all, it is a better place than it had credit for. The output in bullion is about $50,000 a month at present, but this will be greatly increased when the bedrock flume which is beiug built by a syndicate of New York aud Pennsylvania capitalists is completed. This syndicate represents $5, 000,000 of capital, and their ditch will cost them over $1,000,000. It will be nine miles in length and will run from Hummel's laud ing, on the north fork of the Cceur d' Alene river, to a point one mile above Murray City. It will bring water to hundreds of claims ou both Pritchard aud Eagle creeks.

By straightening the railroad between Delta aud Roseburg, says the Jacksonville Sentinel, the Central Pacific people claim they can shorten the route about twenty-one miles. One of the main changes is to run it over what is known as Willow Springs gap which would bring the road much near er Jacksonville than it now is. As no appeal has yet been taken to the supreme court to test the validity of the Keady liquor law, the decision of Judge Webster, of the first judicial district, in the Gaunt case will stand until reversed by the higher body, and $300 per year will be the figure for saloon keepers to pay for license. According to the census taken by the assessor Jackson county has a population of over 9000. Ashland has about 1200, Jacl . souville 900 and Medford 500.

The crop is not one- third in yet, and farmers are not afraid to hold ou a rising market. It takes a falling market to rush in the grain. Stockmen are looking for a decided activity in the. wool market uext season. Already the demand tor stock sheep has assumed a business as pect. Shrewd men are buyiug before the price is materially advanced. Slowly but surely the small-pox is work ing its way iuto the Uuited States. Sever al manufacturing cities iu New Hampshire have cases, and now the disease has appear ed iu New York city, coining directly from Montreal. Winter is just coming on, and the small-pox is a cold weather disease. If it gets a foothold in the slums of the great city of New York much mischief will re sult. The cholera alone is to be more dreaded. During the last day or two, two important transactions have taken place in this city. The Catholics have bought the school build ing in the western part of the city aud will move it to their lots north of the college and fit it up for a church. The Universa lists have bought the school buiding in the easteru part of the city and will move it on to some lots of which Phil Cohen is trustee, and remodel it for church purposes. The price paid in both instances was $400. Al bany is, indeed, to be a city of churches. Bulletin. Palouse Gazette: At this writing (Thurs day, Oct. 15) 10,000 tons of grain are stored iu the warehouses and adjoining platforms in this city, and the daily accumulation in excess of the amount carried away is be tween 300 and 400 tons.

Competent authority estimates the wheat yield of Whitman county in 1890 at a great er number of bushels than the product of the entire Willamette valley. The Palouse country is becoming known to the outside world. Mr. H. Kenton, of Albany, who has re cently perfected a sluicing machine for sepa rating hue gold from the black sand of the seacoast, is now trying it ou the Yaquina beach. The machine consists of a series of sluice boxes, lined with copper, and armed with magnets beneath the copper. The black sand consists principally of iron, which being held by the magnets, affords an easy means of separating the gold from it. The machine has been tried in Southern Oregou with most satisfactory results, and in the tests upon the sands of the Yaquina beach, which are known to abound in tine OUE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. trora Anton Kufeke & Co. flour Merchants.) Liverpool, Sept 17, 1885. Deak Sirs: The continued unsettled state of the weather caused this week some genu -ne anxiety concerning the securing of tin crops; the demand improved considerably md a large business has been done in wheat at an improvement of Id to 2d per cental. For flour also the inquiry has been goo. and a large business has been done, but m improvement in price can be noted. Tin number of sales made is very large, but they were in themselves small, thus shov. -that general confidence is not yet properl) recovered. On the first sign of the probability of an advance, American millers raised their ideas so much that all forward business was im possible. If millers pull away the bait so quickly from before the mouths of our buy ers, they can scarcely expect to raise any buying eagerness, It must not be forgotten that there is very excessive stock of flour here. The imports of wheat and flour into the U. K. are immense, being 544, 733 grs. mak ing the total for the two first weeks of the cereal year 916,746 grs. The earnings of the Northern Pacific for the current month promise to be the larges in the history of the company. The large heretofore known were earned in April last, the total gross earnings for that month font ing up a little over $1,400,000. If the earn ings continue as large throughout the re mainder of the month as they have beer during the first ten days the total for the month will be upward of $1,600,000. The total for the first ten days of October, $532,- 553, an increase compared with the corres ponding period of time in 1884, of $67,900.
