Prof Mowry, of U wton, who was recently in Oregon, writes of the Willamette Volley m following manner, paying it a very deserved compliment, in a loin; article: "But I hasten to speak of the valley, par excellence, of them all. I have just returned from a tour of in spectinn through a portion of the valley of the Willamette. A mere glance at the ina scarce ly revenU any valley here at all, The Cascade range seems to meet the coast range und so occupy the whole sec tion, which may be called Western Oregon, But between these two beautiful ranges there lies spread out, thirty to iifty inileu wide, and extending a hundred anil forty or fifty iniks in length, one of the most charming regions of the world. I have traveled in twenty-five St.it a, eleven of them since I left my eastern home ou the 30th of last June, but I have never seen such a yield of apple in any section of our country ns I have looked upon this week iu the valley of the Willamette. It is now but a little over forty years since these valleys rf western Oregon began to be settled, und the degree of thrift, comfort, ele gance, beautiful homes, schools, churches, tad leges aud eleemosynary institutions that have sprung up ainon this people aru simply to an eastern man matters of marvel.

Hop W clip the following from Cochran & Co's special hop rexirt under date of San Francisco, August 14: "Siuce our last report 50 bales of tha remaining 100 balea 83's have been sold at 27$ cents; also a contract made for CO bales new Sacramento's, reported price . oeuts. This morning there is some inquiry from abroad for new crop, but as yet we hear of no otfers being made. 15 bales new crop arrived this week from Sacramento and went into store. There is no material change to re port in the condition of the growing crop in New York and England since our last; the markets at those points are identical with our own; very quiet, mainly owing to the absence of stocks, nnd a "disposition to await develop ments." THE LOCAL MARKET. The local market msy be said to be in a de pressed condition, values being unsettled. Wheat may be quoted at 50 cent per bushel nett, with probably a small margin above. Oats, at present, il not quotable, but by next week we hope to be able to give a quota tion. Hops; no offers made for the cropbyloeel buyers, but present indications point to good prices. Butter, of prlmo quality, it scarce, and brings 25 cents per pound reatily. Eggs are quotable nt IS 20 cents per dozen, the market being lilierally supplied.

It appears that upon the day aliove named the deceased in company with Mr David Galen rode to the river to water their horses, when the animal on which he was riding got beyond its depth and started swimming to the other shore, In attempting to turn the horse which had ou only a baiter, by some means caused ths animal to roll over carrying th rider be neath the water, when the horse arose the young man wa noticed clinging to the ani mals neck, when the horse went down carrying him along, from which he never rote.
