State and Territorial. The Iron works at Oswego, Oregon closed down last week with but . little hopes of again being able to leopen. The Oregon Horse ami Land company has 12,000 horses on its numerous raucies in Western Idaho and Eastern Oregon. The Canadian Pacific is in the near future to be a close competitor of the North Paoi lie for the through emigrant business from the old countries and Lower Canada. 2lew .Northwest: If a strong bill to pun ish prize fighting, its aiders and abettors were introduced in the Oregon Lcgislatuie, It would be mterestiug to watoli toe course of a part of the Multnomah delegation, The law of the state of Oregon explicitly says that no person who is divorced can marry again for the space of six mouths, or until the time for an appeal has expired; and any person violating this express statute is liable undr the law. The population of Union county has in- -creased froma.fioO iu 1SS0 to 8,(S8, accord inn to the census just taken, A ranch gie it er increase is shown iu the Eastern Oregon counties in the last five years than in Wes tern Oregon counties. A young man in Colusa county, Califor nia, shot himself about a year ago because a young woman refused to marry him. The .girl said he was a fool, but the buy recover ed. The other day the girl committed sui cide because she boy refused to have her. The world changes and so do boys and girls. Dave Small of Walla Walla, has contract ed for the furnishing of 12,000,OUO feet of lumber for a company that is now engaged in the construction of an eight-mile Hume down Pichard creek, through the placer diggings,uear Murrayville. A practicable wagon road is being buiit from Thompson Falls, which seems to have a future before it after all, but it depends ou the mines An idea of the sizff of the sheep ranches in Montana and Wyoming may be had from the statement that the V;irren Live Stock company of Wyoming has on hand 40.000 1 1 l I , nnn 1 1 r i neau 01 snceu, uesicies avuu neau ot sheep which they now have fattening at Gibbon. Neb. These great western and northwest ern ranges have for a great many weeks been sending vast numbers of sheep to New York. A Seattle paper says: 'The Chinamen in this city signify their willingness 10 leave Seattle if they can get purchasers for their property. Gee Hee said recently they were not at all mxious to stay, but felt that they could not sulfer a loss of tlieir property. He said his company the V.i Clung com panyhave $130,000 worth of property here, which they would part with if a buy or in ide bis a;vearauee. " Chinese pheasants, with all their winsome ways ami ..mg tails, are said to be the most destructive hud known when it comes to making an attack on a shock oi' wheat. Not satisfied with getting enough to eat they overhaul C!is whole sljock, scratching the wheat in eery direction. Wiieu it comes to tiglitiu. a game cock is said to stand no chance wi .u them. One good-sized Chinese pheasant will "cleau out" a whole barn yard of roosters. Democrat. Soma of our valley farmers claim that lipids are i ml from seed brought here in 1833 from California, Tut- glorious climate of California, nninternpted by frosts, per mits the grow th of many varieties of weeds which seriously annoy farmers there, and it is not altogether unlikely that in the wheat used here to re-seed our laud that spring some of the noxious things were introduced and still linger with us. Yamhill Reporter. The Walla Walla Journal says: "Wheat is pouring into Prcscott at the r te ot 000 to 700 sacks a day, wuile not more tkau 100 a day, ou an average, are shipped out. The accumulation along the track at the point is now over 20,000 sacks. This is represen tative of the situation at all stations on the road north. The farmer with notes matur ing and under compulsion to pay 2 per cent, jute rest thererfttjr and unable to obtain pay for his wheat until it is shipped, finds the grinning ami bearing of it a somewhat diffi cult matter." The people of the western part of Lane Go. held a meeting at Florence lately, and ap pointed committees to aid iu securing the annexation of the Siuslaw portion of Doug las county to Laue, says a Lane county ex change. Hon A. C. Barbour will present the subject to the legislature. They will also Knead the.efforts of Hon. Binger Her man in securing an appropriation to make a full survey of the harbor and buoy the chau nel at the entrance of the bay. It success ful, this move will open up a large section of country to settlement which is now almost entirely unoccupied. Wasco county raised nearly 800,000 bush els of grain the padt season. Next year, with favorable prospects, the yield will be over a million bushels. At the term of the circuit court held in Linn county at Albany recently, there were eleven divorce and two slander cases on the j docket. Lawsuits are sometimes rather expensive luxuries. A case has just been concluded Baker City Sage Brush: Some talk of having a new judicial district out of Baker, Union and Umatilia counties, and it is re- in a circuit court in Iowa, which iuihebe ported there are about twelve candidates ginning might have been settled for sS-0 for judge. but the fighting disposition of the parties As an offset to the general prediction of a 1 involved prevented a settlement.

All over the country women continue to take the benefit of the land laws by secur ing homesteads from the government. Pick- ng up papers which contain "notices of pub lication" and "notices of proof," We almost invariably find the names of women among the homesteaders. Says the Lakeview Examiner of ast Sat urday: "The register and receiver of the land office at this place rendered decisions this week iu a number of swamp land con- ests. The decisions in every instance were in favor of the settlers and against the swamp land claimants." Roseburg Plaindealer: The Oregon & Cal ifornia passenger trains run over and kill a reat many deer between the mouth of Cow Creek canyon and Grant's Pass. The deer et on the track and become fascinated by the light of the engine, and allow them selves to be run over, or thrown senseless rom the track by the cow-catcher. In favorable seasons California counts its honey-crop by the thousand tons, and bee- eepers rind a good profit when extracted honey commands no more than four or five cents per pound, and comb-honey seven or he cents. This year, however, the honey yield will be light flowers are few and nec tar scant. asked one of them to marry him. They had only known each other three days but she was equal to the emergency, and she accepted him ':just too quick." He ac companied her to a justice of the peace, who, iu making out the necessary docu ments asked the young man the name of his intended. "You will have to ask some one who is better acquainted with her than I am," said he, "for 1 dont know." The mar riage took place, and such is life in the wilds of Baker county. Free. D. C. ROSE, A.

Ohn, who lives near Shedd's was riding across a small bridge, his horse broke through and threw him violently forward, his head striking ou a plank piece of timber at a point iu the left eye brow, cutting a gash from that point back to the top of the head and then down to the left ear, and tearing the scal2 all down to the ear and temple, leaving' all the skull in front of the ear and up to the top of the head naked. The wuund was a .frightful one but a physiciau was called and -sewed up the wound and the man is getting along all right. The Chinese of Portland are determined to stand on the defensive, and evidently un derstand the maximum iu time of peace pre pare for war. One gun store in this city has sold ninety weapons to Chinese during the past week. These consisted of double action Colt's revolvers, and a few Winches ter rifles, Yesterday a couple of heathens purchased two splendid revolvers and 300 P. F. Bradford, a successful frail-grower near Portland, has put up 22,000 pound i of dried fruit, consisting of 16,000 huu'is of dried plums and prunes, 4000 pounds of dried apples and 2000 pounds of d.ied pears. Mr. Bradford is a practical man and thor oughly understands how to dry fruit. The fruit sells easily at ten cents and upwards, wholesale. Farmers of Douglas county buy short horn Durham cattle, raHe good grades, make go id butter and cheese, stop the im portation of these articles from the east, keep a few tine bred hogs that you can feed all the year upon skim milk, refuse grain and ve 'enables, cease to put iu so much wheat for shipment, and our word for if you will seo better times iu the future. Plaindealer. the blakely null company is omitting a Standard gauge railroad up tiie Little Skoo- kinii river. Over four miles are ready for the rails. A locomotive has already arrived but for some reason the iron has been de layed. The road will lie used at present for logging purposes, but its ultimate destitute tiou is Gray's Harbor, to which inlet it is fifty miles. A survey to the summit of the Olympic range to be crossed has already been completed. Next spring active work ou pushing the road through to Gray's Har bor will be prosecuted. Last spring there was a grand rush into Harney valley, but. there were inarjy poor settlers went in there who expended their all iii improving their places, and are now entering upon the winter without a cent. and no probability ol securing work betore spring. There are no chances of obtaining employment in that section, and the man who takes his family there should take funds sufficient to tide him over the first winter at ieasi. Sage Brush. Ashland Tidings: During the past eleven mouths there have beef but seven deaths in the portion of this valley between Phoenix and the California line, and two of these were the results of accidents, one being from a fall from a horse and the other from a rille shot. The territory includes the town of Ashland and has a population of about 2800 people. This is certainly a good re cord and accords with the claim made by Ashland people that they have remarka bly healthy climate. A correspondent writing from Blue River mines says: The miners are preparing for winter and are building cabins. Work is still being performed on the ledges. Some -till coming and going. They have located Mat quartz claims ou the head waters of the Calipooia. Mr. Warren raised and cov ered a house to-day on his ranch one mile aix.ve the mouth of the Blue river on the Mclvenzie. Mr. John Watson is building a house just one-half mile above him on his ranch on Elk Creek. All of these places have been recently taken up. Land hunt ers, looking for government lands, shonld pay this section a visit, as there is plenty of good government land still vacant that would make splendid ranches and veiy good range for stock. Concerning the tramps arrested for the murder at Roseburg, reported two weeks .'go, a correspondent writes as follows to the Oregoniau: "Mike, one of the tramps jointly indicted with two others whose true names could not be learned, and who could not be found, for the murder of the tramp Sullivan about two weeks ago, was tried last week. Tne first jury disagreed, stand ing three for murder in. the first degree, two for man-slaughter and seven for acquittal.
