The six lines of railway which enter Paris earned an extra $8,000,000 this year out of the exposition travel. The town of Redheadville has just been incorporated in Michigan. Now Jet Whitehorseburg be christened. Of 1,000,000,000 acres of land in the United States, about 6,000,000 are now under cultivation by irrigation, and about 120,000,000 acres altogether can be rendered arable by that method. Not since 1854-55, unless we may except a short period during the war. when the government was building so many vessels, has ship building been so prosperous in the Unithd States as it is now. In fourteen states an alien can vote after simply declaring his intentions. Those states are Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Indiana Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis souri, Nebraska, Oregon, Texas and Wisconsin. Which will be moie beneficial to Corvallis a bridge over the Willam ette, or a waterditch for manufacturing purposes? Any one desiring to express his views on the afore-mentioned ques tion can do so through the columns of the Gazette. Let your remarks be as concise as possible. Let the citizens of Corvallis remem ber that it requires something more than the laying off of "new additions" to make this city of more than ordinary importance. More factories to furnish labor for the working men, greater in ducements toward getting outside capitalists turned this way, and gen eral improvements in our present con . dition, are needed. When the popu lation increases so that there is no room in the city's limits then "addi tions" should have their required amount of attention. The annua, report of the secretary of the treasury gives interesting esti mates cf the imports of some of our Ean-American cousins, excluding specie, during 1888: Mexico im ported to the amount of $43,3S0,000, of which $19,226,221 were from the United States; Central America, $15,. 800,285, of which $4,592,080 were from the United States; South America $364,838,005, of which $29,579,227 were from the United States, and the Wet Indies $97,542,820, of which $7,869,102 were from the United States. According to the census of 1880 we have over fifty million people in the United States and $51,760,000,000 in property more than enough to count $1,000 to every individual, or $5,000 to a family. The number of working people in American manufactories in 1880 was 2,730,000, and they averaged - $346 each, less than a dollar a day. In th same year we had 8,000,000 of of farmers and farm hinds; thty re eeived for their labor the average of $289. Taken collectively, the great mass of American producers receive each about 85 cents per day. The catch of salmon in Oregon for the past season will fall somewhat short of the catch for the season of '88, says the state fish commission. There has " been packed on the Columbia river, in eluding the Washington side, 328,000 cases, or 15,600,000 pounds, which would require about 1,000,000 salmon against 352,000 cases in 1888. The shortage is mostly from the vicinity of the Cascades, and was owing to the extremely low water, which prevented more than one half of the fish wheels from taking any fish, and many of those that did take fish, onlv ran for short time, and caught but few fish Other streams on the coast of Oregon which have been fished during the season, have turned out fairly well The pack on the Nehalem was about 6,000. cases; Tillamook, " 9,500 cases Hestucca, 6,700 cases; Yaquina, 5,000 - ease:; Alsea, ' 10,000 cases; Siuslaw. 12,000- Umpqua, 12,000 cases CoquiBe, 8600 cases; Rogue river, 82,000 cases; 14,000 of which which were spring, salmoju WESTERN ENTERPRISE. The rapid growth of the great west is phenomenal, and forms the most in teresting feature in the history of the nation's development. It is the result of energy, w it, foresight and practical common sense, combined with won. deifnl natural resources. The men who have made the west what it is, and who are laying the foundations of its future greatness, have been and are men of brains and energy. Whatevei else may have been lacking in the make up of many of them, they have all possessed these two characteristics; that is those who tlemen, you must excuse me," ex have succeeded. With all the natural caimed Mahone. "I am going wealth of fertile prairies, rushing river home to gtop th;g bnsines8 and mineral veins of fabulous wealth. it requires the same qualities, of self- denial, activity, enterprise and untiring effort to succeed hero, as in the east, hut the results are glorious, and those much as it ought to. who signed n who have come to stay, and who have contract to divide the money gain come in a spirit of independence and e(j T the extra weight with the honesty, will not regret their choice ot a home. In some parts of the east the west has a hard name. Vice and crime have, perhaps, in the early days been more rampant west of the Rockies than elsewhere, owing to the inchoative state of the country, its unsettled con dition, the numerous avenues of escape and the hordes of toughs who have found here more remunerative field for their games against humanity than .i - . i in me more sutui cast. P.ut it is gratifying to note that edu- cational and religions institutions keep pace with the development of the land iii the direction of material wealth and nrosneritv. So noticeable is this, that it i fwJmentlv remarked unon by , , i e strangers from the east, and many of our comparatively small towns wouiu put to shame cities of much larger size in th Past This is an indication. .w f.K m,W of western a.., .-0. - trontier lite nas practical iy l"1" away, and that tne rennemerus, amenities and luxuries are taking the l.lace of former hardships. Tt is cer- tain that it will take many years for the west to drop back into that state of indifference and lethargy in these matters which characterizes many places in the east,, but it is well to he on the euard from the beginning. The church and the school, wherever they go, bring countless blessings of wealth, morality, good breeding and intelligence in their wake, and any community which fails heartily to support and cherish such institutions is certainly sowing seeds that will bring forth bitter Iruit. The Studehaker wagon works of South Bend, Ind., are 150 carloads be hind orders, and the factory is crowded to its utmost. It will be enlarged so as to give a capacity of 50,000 wagons per year. Thirty-five years ago the brothers were running a little one-horse blacksmith shop.
