The boundless resources of tbe it ate in their lataut condition, is awkening the interests of capitalists in the east and many active, business men, are coming into our midst to examnia and investigate the chances for outlay and invsBtment, The era of railroad building in the state is opening jap a broad field for the Capitalist, Commercial and manu factoring industries are stimulating as they always follow in the wake of railroad imjireannt. Tli2 comple tion of the O k C. K. R. through to1 California, and the erogress of the O. P. R. R. through the atata is awakening an active interest in internal improve ment", and the years 1887-8 are goins to work great changes in the state's economic condition. People are flocking to the state by thousands. The laborer, the mechanic, the farmer, the capitalist are coming, drawn tbitherby the active demand of development, created by the build ing of local and interstate railways to faciltate the activity of travel and the removel of prdaction. The leading motors of improvement and state de velopment are the railway, the steam ship and the telegraph. AH of these civilizers of progress are coming into our midst, and they will necessarily arouee the latent resources of our state and set in motion the great wheels of internal improvement in all depart ments of manual industries. Oregon is on tbe eve of rapid de velopment. She has been waiting for the'engines of progress to clear the way for internal improvements, and now that tbey are knocking at our doors, the latent resources of a great state are rousing up to utilize these moters of progress and keep them in motion and give them plenty of em ployment. The great chain of internal deveop nient that permeates a state, is not forged in an hour or a day. It is the ,work of years. It is forged link b link in the great workahip of progress, with the railway, the steamship snd the telegraph in tbe lead. These en gines of development, as they cleave their way through statr, energize every department of bnman labor, every resource of possille develop ment, aud are the pioneer motors that wake latent, resource from its long and primeval sleep and convert it in to the amenities of civluation. Clear the way for progress is roHing onward, and Oregon, far off Oregon, situated on the fariheres'- northwest limit of our national boundary, is gathering up the diamonds in the cas ket of her storehouses and polishing them to virgin brightness to add an other jewel to he coronal of our union. Ben Butler thinks the president would do well to have somebody about him familliar wilh the laws of the countrv. He says that the pains he has taken to examine all private pen sion bills to see it there wasn't sonu- thing suspicious about them is wasted labor. The law is that when ever the commissioner of pensions finds any thing crookedin the record of a soldier who has been granted a pension by special acts he suspends the pension and reports the matter to congress, where it is rectified if it appears that a mistake has been made. The fact is that no statesman in tbe presiden tial chair has exercised tbe veto power except in extreme errors and import ant cases. The presidents who bate used it the most were those who knew the Itast of national affairs, like Jack son, or were of the smallest calibers, like Tyler Johnson, Hayes and tbe present incumbent. To be handy with the veto has hitherto been tbe distinguishing mark of mediocrity or crankiness. It is understood that the Mackey postal telegraph system is soon to be pushed to compbtion, and brought in to opposition with the TVestern Union Tne latest rumor says that work will commence on it similtaneously at San Francisco, Shasta and. Portland. The other folks will of course begin a more accommodating policy and a reduced schedule of prices. Florida papers lire advising their readers to preserve oranges by packing them in sand.

There art, to be two bridges at the canyon above Uncle Dick's Soda Springs on the Sacramento river, each of nhich will be 100 feet high re quiring 300,000 feet of lumber also trestle work some 500 yards in length, to require 350,000 feet of lumber. The lumber will be cut by the mill now almost ready for operation near Soda Springs, which is to be the finest mill on the coast, capable of turning out from 20,000 to 30,000 teet of lum ber per day. It is to be worked by a 35-hoBe power "emlne, "and wlirTje kept in operation day and night when started. The machinery for cutting lumber, ties, bridge and trestle work timbers, as well as lumber of a1! kind, i? of the moat improved style. The gang saws, one above the other, and the edging and cut-off saws, are calcu lated to do fast work. In the manu facture of ties, Oregon fir and cedar trees are principally used, cutting out sticks 1G feet long, which are sawed in two by the cut uff saw. This mill company furnish (he ties much cheap er than tbe rduooo ties from the coast can be purchased for, and hauled, as the railroad coirpany can not more trains without great ex pense, The railroad army of probably 3,000 men, are moving along rapidly, in spite of tbe rough country, and will continue their ouward march until the raod is finished, at least the indications at present give strong evi dence of such determination. The van guard comprises the brush cuttters, who mow down the cbapparel; followed by the brush rollers, men who remove tbe brush and cut down. Next comes tbe tree choppers, and then a large force who roll the logs out of the wav. After these come the men who blast out the stamps, followed by the pot- bolers and graders. Tbe patholers dig holes on each side of tbe locating stakes, and fill them with powder. while the graders shovel out ever the hillside the loose rock, clay or gravel to the established survey, and wher eter filling is needed, horses and carts are brought into requisition. Follow ing the graders, aro tbe men who put down the lies, next the rail layers, and then the men who drive the spikes. The railroad track will be laid to the flat below Uncle Dick's in two or three days more, and th grading will be completed close to Uncle Dick's place in a few days. There seems to be no doubt, by (he manner in which the work is being crowded along, that the track will be completed to Slsson's by ekction day, to make a winter station at that point, uless heavy rains interfere. From Sisson's it will take but very little time in the spring to rush tho roid along to Klamath river, leaving a gap of heavy work from thai river to the Sisaiyou county line in making connection. Early in the fall of next year we may anticipate the completion of the railroad for run ning of trains between Portland and San Francisco. Yreka Journal. Through the WHiRfoot. Haze letl and Putts two coopers aud brother work-men of Graham, who went through tbe Niagara whirlpool rapids a few weeks ago, performed the same perilous journey in a barrel shaped boat last Sunday afternoon. Fully fifteen thousand people lined the banks aud bridges of tbe river. The start was made from '-Maid of the Mist" landing on the Canadian side. Twice the craft turned a complete somersault but each time righted again. As soon as the boat passed tbe rapids Potts opened the man hole and stood up and cooly lighted a cigar, a moment later Haze leit showed himself and waved a flag. The craft was taken in low at Queens town, Canada, just one hour after Jtart ing. Both men were in excellent condi and said they were ready to make the trip again. Joaquin Miller, the poet of the Sierras, has been paying a visit to Yre ka and other points in Siskiyou county, where be formerly lived when a boy, among the Indians, and says that be is coming back to live there permanent- Gen. S. 3. Burdett, Commander in Chief of the Grand Army of the Re public and staff and mauy ef the del egates to the encampment at San Fran cisco, will return East via Portland. Fort Klamath. Ssnator John H. Mitchell has writ ten a letter to Secretary Endicott in which bo substantially takes the srma views of the case as expressed in an editorial in the "Mercury" two months ago, save that he goes deeper into the de'ail of the case, being in possession of some information of which we are not. Iho injustice of the proposition is thoroughly covered by the Senators letter and muse show the Secretary how unfair it would be to leave the settlers of Lake and Klamath counties Arftliia 8tate"ahd-KiskiyoaudjM6doc counties iu California, wholly at .the mercy, not alone of tbe remnants of tne Modocs -and Wylaksbs, bat of tbe renegade Piutes and Banuock os well Indians think but little of a journey of three or four hundred miles when bent on a mission cf murder and rob bery, uud the abandonment of Fort Klamath would be the sigual for the uprising of those dirty rascals, which would result in the lying waste of Lun gell and Chewaucan valleys and the ruthless murder of numberless settlers. If the expenses ot the war department must be reduced, well and good, but let them begin at tbe right end of it. Abolish the post at Vancouver and send some of the gallant lawn tennis players out to the iroulier posts. Sell the garrison grounds and buildings at Walla Wall and -divide up the cav airy between Coer d'Alene, Spokane aud Okanagon. Bui don't talk of ttikint; away the garrison from Fort Klamath. We can spare the troops better from any other post in Califor nia, Oregon -or Nevada, than from the one that is almost in sight of the blood stained "lava beds," where Thomas yielded up his irreproachable life and where the gore of tbe immolated Canby sries out aloud from tbe ground. Mercury. Indian Sport in Nevada. Duck lake, iu Netada, lies on tbe north side of the Pyramid branch of the Truckee river and west of the upper portion of Pyramid lake, from which it is only separated by a low hill or ridge of sand. It is circular in form and has neither inlet nor outlet. This small lake is a great resort for ducks, geese,, swans and other water fowl when there is a heavy wind and Pyra mid lake is made to boil like a pot. They then flock to this less boisterous sheet of water by tens of thousands. On such occasions the Indians prepare for a grand duck drive. All who have guns and many who are armed only wilh bows and arrows form in a lino on the crest of tbe sand ridge be tween the two lakes. A number of Indians then man a fleet of rails, and starling from the western shore of the small lake drive tbe ducks and other fowl from their resting place. The birds start for Pyramid lake again, and as they fly across tho di viding ridge the men and boys there lying in wait bring down bundreJs of them with guns and other weapons. Even small boys, lying on their backs ffith their bows on ther feet, pull their arrows with both hands, sending the missiles with great force and killing birds in large numbers. Causes op Dishonesty. I' is not always gambling nor vhe haste to le rich that leads to moral wreck. It is much more often the moral reckless ness that is a part of '.he spirit of this age. Contentment, obedience, a reli gious devotion to one's -daily doty, are no longer looked upon as necessary virtues. On the contrary, these things are rather spurned as incom patible with modern aspirations. Ev ery man's duty is to get into some other man's place, to ''rise in life" and to be, or appear to be, something other than be is. Tbe rich man must make more riches: the poor man must have more than he has earned"; we must all be moving about in a stale of constant unrest and distcontent, amid which old notion of religion, virtue, honor, contented industry and domestic sim plicity have no chance to exist. When every man is reaching out for some thing that does not belong to him whether in position, in wages, in cor porate privilege's or public office it is no great wonder that to many take the shortest way and transfer their employers'' money to their own pock ets. The Oregon Pacific received two new locomotives from Wilmington, Dela ware, a few days ago. i 3 Grange county, New York, has just had a wedding with enough romance about it for a novel. In 1862 tbs bridegroom, then a young man, though under an an engagement to the young lady wlioai he expected to marry enlist ed in tbe union army. His sweetheart made no effort to dissuade him from what he thought bis duty, and with breaking heart she bade him adieu, and quietly buried herself in her home with her widowed mother, the only member of tbe family besides herself. Pop jiwhiln all wAtit well and lnvinty Ie tersTronY hiss tt-cethearv a l,W . gallant soldier, and tender words of hope from him made lifeendurabla to her. After the battle of Chancellors, ville his letters suddenly ceased. Let ter after letter was written to him and and his comrades, but all that could be learned was, that after the terrible battle he was missing. Whsther he had been killed or taken prisoner no one could tell, -and his fate remained a mistery. His stricken sweetheart never entirely abandoned hope, and lived on, "tender and true," hoping against hops for his return. A fur many patient years hr troth has been rewardsd, and she is now a happy bride. His narrative is that sometime during tbe fight he was taken prisoner, and soon after he was sent to a southern prison where he was kept about a year, suffering -untold torture. He finally escaped and reached the seaboard, where he conceived the idea of personating an English sailor'o-nd getting to England on a blockade runner. After that all is a blank. He learned afterward that he had been taken ill, and soon after insane. On his arrival in England be was taken to the insane asylum by the captain of the bockade runner, where he remained until a year ago, when he" was discharged, cured but penni less. He succeeded by tbe assistance of friends in the asylum in socuring a situation in a mercantile house, whir he rapidly won the esteem of the prin cipals, to whom he told his story. A leave of absence was granted him, he came to Middletonand found bissweet heart, now a mature lady of forty-two, still faithful. to his memory. They were quietly married and returned to England, where he proposes to remain for a term of years. During bis absence his only surviving relatives, a brother and uncle, bad died, and be ha had no ties to keep him her or save the love of country, which will eventually bring him and bis -faithful wife back to our shores. The man who invented pistols de serves to have his name handed down to posterity as the enemy of mankind. The pistol is never used for any-legitimate purpose. It is of no use for bunting purposes: and is only a murder-breeding peace-destroying instru ment loaded with death, and primed with crime. It'arms the lawless, a gainst the law-abiding. Aud causes tbe jiassionate and quick-tempered man to commit crimes thai otherwise would not be committed. Every dav Nellie Grant has been virtually abandoned by her husband Sirtori.i, and is to return to America. It is the usual sequal to the marriages betwoen American girls and lah de dah foreign ers. Generally however tbe girls get a title, and tbe foreigner no account, gets a whole lot of swag. la this case Sartoris married for the honor of the alliance, and soon tired of bis bargain. According to all accounts be is a worthless, rubicund, potbellied En glish dude dissipated to excess, living on the allowance made by his father; with no ambition above a cock fight or a tat pit. Here endeth net the first lesson. we read of the unloaded terrors iu the hands of tbe young causing tbe death of some human being, and generally the brother or sister, of the careless and unfortunate person who bandies them. Tbeir manufacture and sale should be prohibited; and whenever anyone points an empty gun at anoth er, be should be clubbed to ueatn. Tbe loaded ones are not half as dan erous.
