jm. OREGON SENTINEL. Saturday, JrvE 16, 1883. I-.DITOBI4L OTM. the end of the great star route trials lias been reached at last. The evi " dence is all in, the long winded speeches of the army of lawyers have been made, and af'erso many weary months, the matter is left to the jury. The record. in this case is the largest ever made in any criminal case in this country being over 6000 closely printed pages. Let us hope that this end will be final." , In another column we publish a notice of the court house "corner stone" ceremonies to take place one week from to day. It is to be hoped that our people will come out on that occasion and help to commemorate this important event in the history of our county. Let us all unite to make this a day of.general good cheer and rejoicing and shake hands in the common fellowship of Jackson county citizens all equally interested in the general welfare and advancement of our beautiful, prosperous and pro gressive county. Tf Genera! Crook comes out of the .Apache's stronghold a victor and takes the trouble to ascertain the state of the public mind concerning him during ' his absence, he will no doubt feel highly complimented. There has been very little anxiety for his safety felt or expressed in circles where the Gen eral is known, And the ca'm confidence of his friends has had its effect upon the sentiment of the whole country. Uriffly stated he general opinion seems to be that Crook is a man thoroughly able to take care of himself and that he invariably wucceeds in what he undertakes. "Chronic'e." On his return to New York Henry Yillard Eaid that 33,000 immigrants, hailing from Eastern, Middle and Coast States, had recently settled in Oregon and Washington; that the crop prospects, were usually encouraging estimating 28,000 tons of grain would be garnered in Eastern Washington and 45,000 tons in Western Oregon this season. These figures represent a largo increase over any previous year, but Mr. Yillard occupies a position that furnishes unpqualled facilities for urriving at corrpct estimates in these points, and his statements arc to be relied upon. He also said the Oregon and California lines would be complet ed in thirteen months. There are few industries which" are turer forquick returns'and ample profits than that of raising hogs. Ham, bacon, and lard always command good prices and a ready sale for cash and the cost of raising hogs is less than that of almost any other kind of stock. This being the case it would not be a bad idea for those engaging in the business to make every effort to improve the breed of their hogs and as fast a pos sible get rid of the long-nosed and Blab sided beasts of which there are unfortunately quite a large number. It does not cost any more to raise a good breed of hogs than an inferior one, and there is a vast difference in the quality of the meat, in favor of the good breed. From Mr. Thos. Jones, the Henley merchant, who was in town Sunday, wo learn that 200 Chinamen are now nt work on the approach to the pro posed tunnel through Siskiyou moun tain, near the California boundary line, and some fifty carts were expected to arrive there yesterday from points further north, where the other tunnels are completed. Heavy blasts are set off every evening about time of quitting work, which are plainly heard lit Henley. It is usual to have the blasting when quitting work for dinner and supper, as the men, horses and carts will be all off. the ground in camp or at headquarters, besides giving time for the smoke and dust to settle, the smoke of powders, especially giant powder, being very disagreeable to work in. "Journal." The various reports of disaster and defeat supposed to have overtaken General Crook in his great Mexican expedition were finally settled one day last week by the gallant General quietly riding, into Biddells camp sound and well, and bringing two hundred Apaches with him. The General it appears, has suffered but very little on his expedition and has not been under the necessity of doing much fighting. By active and persistent maneuvering he has been able to cap ture a large number of prisoners with but little loss (o himself, and, better than all, he has taught the Indians that their, heretofore ihaccessaible re treats are no I6nger safo from the energy and enterprise of well trained holdiera led by superior officers. Let those over enthusiastic predictors of calamities, present and prospective, for General Crook now render honor to whom honor is due by recongnizing the noble and gallant conduct cf this unpretentious and heroic leader. THE OUTLOOK. It is now pretty certainly known that, reports to the contrary notwith standing, this valley will not produce' more than two thirds of an average crop of grain this year. The acreage sown to grain this season is larger than usual if, in fact, not larger than has ever before been sown in the history of the valley. This will in some meas ure make up for the shortness of the crop so far as our aggregate yield of grain is concerned but it will not have a corresponding effect upon the income of our farmers. The season has been especially severe upon "vol unteer" crops. Fields which would ordinarly produce large "volunteer" crops of good hay have, this year, grown up in cheat and weeds and much of it will not pay the harvesting. Much of the ground town for grain is being cut for hay. Crops in this val ley never fail, and while there will 'be an abundance this year for the home market and a great deal to spare, tak ing the valley over, yet the fact should' be understood that, the usual1 con), plaints aside, there is not by any means such crops here this season as is usu ally Jseen. The low wet land which. usually falls short produces- the best crops this year while the best farms fall from one third to one half below the usual yield. The reason of this is easily under stood. Last winter was the dryest known here for years. The. spring rains, it was thought, would make up for this, and the grain did, for a while, give promise of such a result. But the ground had become so dry through the winter, that the spring rains were absorbed at once aud left no reserve of moisture for the coming crops. We must have our winter rains or we can not count on large crops in this valley. In the upper and lower pnds of the valley we believe, grain has not suffer "ed to the same extent as in the central part but, with wome exceptions, the yield there is not up to the usual standard. As we havo said there will be, tak ing the valley over, no scarcity but it is only fair to our farming community that people coming to this valley should be made to understand that this is an unusual season and that the crops they now seo are by no means a fair repre sentative of what our land usually produoes. The Chances ofllrcwlnc Old. The "Boston Commonwealth" pro duces a long array of vital statistics showff"4WWiaT5fts of reacltibg an advanced age in the the various states of the Union, and drawing therefrom an argument in favor of New England as the best locality for a life residence. The statistics show the number of per sons 8(X years of- age or over and the proportion thereof to the total popu lation of each state. The six New England states show au average of one in each 107.3. New Hampshire heads the list with one in 73.9; Vermont follows with one in 81.4; Maine comes next with one in 89.5; Connecticut 4th with one in 110.1; Massachusetts shows one in 131.8; and Rhode Island one in 134.9. New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania together show an average of one in 208; the six south Atlantic states, one in 203.8; five gulf states one in 299.8; three east Miss issippi states one in 263.6; five lake states, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Il linois and Wisconsin, one in 262 9; seven west Mississippi stales, one in 453.7; three Pacific states, one in 532 7 The eight territories show but one in 499 reaching the age of SO years. Of the 50,155,983 population of United States by last census, there were 221, 076 persons 80 years old or upward, an average of one in 226.87. New England hills seem to bear the palm for longevity.

Dakota will probably adopt a state constitution before the next Congress meets. In Washington" Territory action is a little more tardy, but is likely to come very soon. Should these two territories a; ply for ad mission next winter, one as the sister of Oregon and the other as the next door neighbor of Minnesota, there is every reason why they should take their places in the union in time to take part in. the election of the next president. Their position will be more than sufficient to entitle them to irp resentation in congress, and their ma terial development will give them a right to a full share in the government of the country of which they will foim an important and growing par. m The Albany "Express" shoT what the Republican party has done in the way of stiaightening out the Demo cracy, and what it wi'.l do, to wit; "The Republicans have whipped slavery principles out of the Demo cratic party.
