The FiksT Trip. A correspondent
from Corvallis wiites to the Statesman
as follows: "As there is considerable
interest taken in the steamer R. C.
Young on the upper river, I will give"
a short history of the first trip from
Corvallis to Harrisburg. The river
was about three and a half feet above
low water mark. We found plenty of
water until we got above Peoria, Be
tween there and Harrisburg there are
several shoal bars, owing to the water
running out through sloughs. What
ever the water is confined in one chan
nel there is' plenty of water for any of
the upper river boats. A few thousand
dollars spent in damming the sloughs
and removing snags would allow boats
tne size of the Young to take a full
load from Harrisburg to Corvallis on
any stage of water that the larger boats
can reach Corvallis. As it is, the
Young is bringing down thirty-live to
fifty tons at a trip. In speaking of
the accident to the Youngs wheel,
Captain Dove says it isn't necessary to
go out on the land to find a stump to
bump the wheel against; there are
plenty right in the channel "She was
only laid up for repairs one day."

,THE PACIFIC NORTH WEST.
A GREAT FRCIT BEGIOK A ULIMPSE OP THE
FUTURE.
The Pacific Northwest inclqtlcs for our
purpose, treating it "as a region for the
growth of fruit, a scope of territory that
fully equals in area and natural resources
some of the great empires of Europe to
day, and that must in time not distant be
come the home of tnauy millions who shall
be occupied in the cultivation of its rich
soils and the development of its great and
as yet undeveloped resonrses.
The Columbia river and its mighty tribu
taries drain this vast territory, and only
with the past decade have facilities for
transportation come to assist development
and make possible the era of progress and
improvement only now commencing, that
must go on and woik out a destiny equal to
that of any portion of the North American
continent. Fifty years ago .. the tide of im
migration had not set towards the Pacific,
and exploring parties were fitted out to in
vestigate aud report to the nation,
greatest minds in our nation at that
had very little couceptiou of the value of
Oregon, which included then all the Amen
able resources, ami will cause the produc.s'

demauil tor coming millions, as well as to
supply the world at large with our fruits as
well as cereals. Commerce with Asia and
the islands will supply a market, and the
Nicaragua canal will make it possible to
reach Europe at a reasonable cost.
Of course, all land is not adapted to fruit,
and the need of selecting suitable locations
is manifest, but throughout the great em
pire of the North Pacific there are locations
and sections where fruit-growing must be-
wiuo a, invunio occupation, auu where en
terprise and intelligent industry will find a
rien reward. VVe shall show in course of
time, the different sections of this great
region aud try to give some facts concern

Prohibition Meeting. The Christian
church was rilled to overflowinir with an
audience last Monday night to hear Mr.
Wolfenbarger, of Nebraska, discuss prohi
bition as a party issue. Leaflets were
handed aronnd and Prof. Iluckius, who is a
tine singer led the andience in a number of
tongs. He also sang several solos which
were loudly applauded. After prayer by
Rev. L. I. Mercer, the cli.iirm.in. Mr. .T Ci.
Hutton introduced Mr. Wolfenbarger.
While we do not agree with him in many of
the ideas advauced we must admit that he
is a very forcible speaker and held the
andience from first to last. A prohibition
club was organized with a number of mem
bers and about fifty altogether have signed
the million voters pledge. It srems to us
rather out of place to pass the hat after a
political speaking. The drumming for sub
scriptioiis savors too much of the method
used at some religious meetings." In this
case the effect of the speech was largely
lussipaiea uy it.
Fell from the Bridge. Wm. Telly, an
old man who lives iu . this county a short
distance from Albany, was found a few days
since lying beneath the trestle of the Ore

fallen some time during the previous night.
It was fouud that he was not badly hurt,
hut was in a drunken stupor. Ha had gone
to Albany the dy before, taking with him
two sacks of greens, which he exchanged
for liquor. He was eviileutlv nrettv well
J. loaded when he started home some tima in
; the night. Being intoxicated he fell from

DIED.
As Armoky. Captain Warren, who
has charge of the military department
of the state agricultural college, is of
the opinion that one of the worst
needs of that institution at the pres
ent time is an armory of sufficient size
to give the students a thorough train
ing in military tactics and athletic ex
ercises, lie would as au inducement
to the student to become thoroughly
interested in his work suggest that at
the end of the year the governor issue

drill has to be conducted on the col-
lego campus and during the rainy sea

as they should be.

Mrs. Brinkley, the deceased, was vwell
known and had many frieuds in this city.
She was born in Benton county, where she
spent the greater portion of her life. She
was a daughter of John Wiles, a prominent
farmer living in the northern pirt of the
county, and sister of Walter T. Wiles and
Mrs.. W. A. Wells, of this city. She
leaves a husband and a large family of

opened soon at J. Wm. Will's store.
in 1843, that great statesman refused to be
lieve that the destinies of the nation could
extend thus far, and it was entirely due to
the efforts of the Oregon pioneers that the
empire borders the Pacific for 1,500 rniies
as it does to-day.
What we are to-day here in the Occident,
compared to the isolation and wilderness of
1842, bears about the same relation to the
future of half a century of progress that
is to come, that the date given bore to
our own day, for, as the mind of Webster
could not grasp the facts and progress mauy
of us have witnessed and aided to accom
push, so the mind of to-day may fail
to grasp a true idea of what the
Pacific Northwest may become when
another half century shall have wrought its
changes.
West of the Rocky mountains there is to.
day about the same population, 03 occupied
the Atlantic shore in 1776, when the
colonies asserted their independence. Look

vention and skill will unlock nature's
secrets and furnish, similar progress in the
half century to come.
It is true that we possess here soil of un
exampled fertility and a clim ite that is un
equaled on thi3 earth. As to resources, no
portion of the Pacific coarit equals in wealth
of soil, of forests and minerals what are
fonnd in this region. When development
shall reach maturity and population' shall
be apportioned to resources, then this
Northwest of the Pacific will hold the
scepter and dominate this western world.
The thousands of water powers that come
from our mountain ranges, the mines of
iron, coal, copptr, and immense forests form
a means of wealth, prosperity aud success
equal to anything the world can grant to
any people.
Only yesterday, as it were, the Iuland
Empire was but a stock range, and Westeri

TO DESTROY SLUGS.
A number of our friends have complained
that their plants are being damaged by
slugs or snails. Prof. Washburn, entomolo
gist of the state experiment station, sends
us for publication the following remedies.
He says these pests feed at night and
daring the day remain concealed under
rubbish, stones, old wood, etc., and he
recommends the following:
First, spread fresh wood ashes on the
ground around the plants infested. Second,
do the same with a mixture of fresh
ashes and fresh slacked lime. Third
Paris arenn over the plants and on the
ground about the plants. This should not
be used on veg-r.-ihies or anything which is
to be eaten. Fourth, place fresh cabbage
leaves on the ground among the plants in
fested, and leaye them over night. The
slugs will feed upon them and hide beneath
them, many of them, and can be foucd
there in the morning and killed. It would
help probably to poison those leaves by
dusting Paris creen over them thicklv.
Fifth, punch holes with perpendicular
sides, six inches deep and two inches in
diameter, plentifully, in the ground among
plants, infested,: if they are out of doors.
Many slugs will fall into thasa holes during
the night and, being 11 liable to get out will
be found there the next nomine and killed.
The eggs of this pest can be found in large
numbers now and later, in moist earth,
under old boards, in sod. etc. Thev are
clear whitish or yellowish and in hunches of
six or tin or more. They should be de.
stroyed whenever found b' clashing.
