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

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

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.

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

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.
A VALUABLE MEDICAL TREATISE
The edition for 1S90 of the sterling Medi
cal Annua, knowu as Hostetter's Alma
nac, is now ready, and may be obtained,
free of cost, of druggists and general country
dealers in all parts of the United States,
Mexico, and indeed in every civilized por- 1
tion of the - Western Hemisphere. This
f"1
Almanac has been issued regularly at the
commencement of every year for over one
fourth of a century. It combines, with the
soundest practical advice for the preserva
tion 'and restoration of health, a large
amount of interesting and amusing light
reading, and the calander, astronomical cal
culations, chronological items, &;., are pre
pared with trreat care, and will be found en
tirely accurate. 1 lie issue of liostter s
Almanac for 1830 will probably be the
largest edition of a medical work ever pub
lished in any country, lhe proprietors,
Messrs. Hostetter & Co., Pittsburgh, Pa.,
on receipt of a two cent stamp, will forward
a copy by mail to any person who cannot
procure one in his neighborhood.
Key West, Fla., has 21,000 peo

making industry, in which 8,000
men and women are employed
The scale paid runs from $13 to $40
per thousand, and a fair maker
can turn at least 1,000 per week
Each employe is allowed to smoke
as many cigars as he pleeses home
each day after quitting. They
gained an advance of $1 per
thousand last February, and. on
demanding another increase on a
smaller cigar they were all locked
out. There are 15,000 Cubans,
whites, mulattoes and colored.
