feel interested in the matter of a daily mail.
as at present, we advise the circulation of
a petition at once, protesting against any
change in the service. Such a petition
would receive the name of almost every
person south of Eugene and north of
Shasta, and would undoubtedly have the
desired effect. If no one feels interested,
then we will just get such mail facilities
as the Department chooses to grant us.
Illicit Distilling. A gentleman living
in the vicinity of Wapato lake has for some
time past been engaged in reducing wheat
to whisky, in order that he might the more

that their enterprise will prove successful,
for the reason that a demand will spring

Tlie Ida'10 Conflagration.
News of the second great conflagration
at Idaho City has been confirmed by the
World, of the 18th. We condense from
the report as follows :
.Just after noon this day, flames were
seen issuing from the roof of John Cody's
saloon, south-west corner of Main and
Wall streets. The alarm was given in
stantly. At the time It was sounded in onr
oflice we had just completed an article in
which we referred to the fact that this
would be the second anniversary of the
great fire of May IS, lSb, which laid this
city in ashes, "and recommending to our
citizens generally a greater degree of
watchfulness during the day and night, to
guard against a repetition of the calamity.
The ink was not dry upon the paper when
the alarm of "fire I" reached our ofil-o.
Despite the exertions of hundreds of brave
and vigorous workers, who rushed and la
bored to quench the lire, it spread on all
sides, and by 3 o'clock p. i., the terrible
consequences could be summed up in a
general way imperfect, to be sure, be
cause of the brief time we have had to
gather particulars in as follows :
jiThe total number of buildings of all
kinds destroyed Is 410, of which 201 were
dwellings, and 236 were stores, shops
and business houses of var'ous k'ndV.
The list of sufferers and of losses is quite
large, the total estimates reaching over
$l,OO0JJ00. The same paper of the lMth
says : To the eternal credit and honor of
our people be it said that no purloining
was practiced during or since the fire, as is
almost always the case in communities
made up of almost every class as this is.
Honorable, beyond any precedent that we
know of, under like circumstances, is the
conduct of those among the merchants
who hare lost nothing 3a the fire, or who
have saved much of their stocks. They
have not made any increase in prices.;
they have acted most liberally and nobly
towards the sufferers. Also have the pro
prietors of the two saw mills behaved most
praiseworthy m the matter, in maintaining
their past scale of prices, and not taking
advantage of the general misfortune by
increasing their prices with very great
demand.
The origin of the fire is involved in
doubt, Mr. Cody assures ns there had
been no fire In his saloon since midnight
of Thursday, A gentleman who was
among the first to rush to the fire, assures
us that the ilautes iss.iM.ul fruci Just at the

The firemen and citizens generally
nished to the tusk of quenching the Haines
and preventing the fire from spreading.
but though they woiked with great vigor
and. bravery, their efforts were unavailing.
Buckets of water, thrown in quick sue-
cession from a dozen hands upon the blaz
ing roof, seemed of no more effect than so
many urops. Soon th-e workers were
driven from their places on the roof of

that execution Avith the apparatus was

on a suit in seven fathoms of water. The

This was the third attempt made to run
the last line and the survey oi nllamook
Bar was complete. The channel was per
fectly smooth at the time, not a ruffle on
its surface. The leads man halloed seven
fathoms of water as the first breaker came,
swamping the boat. The order was given
to stern oars, but before ttiev could get
way on a swamped boat the second break
er struck them, capsizing the boat. All
hands got on the boat's bottom, but oilier
breakers washed them off. Capt, Kmc 110-
loe and James Steel, (the only. survivor.)
were hanging on the boat's mast. The
Captain was w ashed off by a breaker, and
sank to rise no more. Steel hung on to
the mast until picked up by George Clark

to save him. The names of the crew are

are giving a fair and remunerative yield
for the laboremployed in them. Dur

The Unionist says : " Mr. John Minto,
of tins county, sheared fifteen of his
bucks this spring .that averaged four

the best averaged seventeen and two
fifths pounds, and the best one yielded
twenty pounds. The time of growth of
the wool on the above sheep was fifteen
days less than one year. The best yield
was from a cross between a French and
Spanish Merino. The second best was
from a Spanish Merino. The average
yield last year from bucks of the same
flock, clipped when the sheep were a
little over one year old, was twelve and
sixth sevenths pounds.

Any person who has lost property in

Indian War of lSo."-T)(i, can get thvir
claims paid by making the necessary
proof, according to the act of the 3d of
March, 1W, writes J J. I . I'owell, to the
Sentinel. The following joint resolution
gives a construction to the act which
makes it so plain that it is thought no
pettifogger in the Treasury or War De
partments will disregard it. If he does,
our members will all immediately ask
and demand his removel from office.
The resolution is in these words : "A
resolution declaring the meaning of the
second section of the act of the 2d of
March. 1801, relative to property lost in
the military service. Resolved bv the
Senate and House of Representatives of
the united Mates ot America m Congress
assembled. That section two oftheaCtof

whenever any claimant for lost proper

conditions of the act of the third of March,

Wool. The Albany Journal shows tha't
if wool which is shipped to the East is ex

cents per pound, it must be sold in that
market for 48i cents. This statement is
supported by a careful estimate of the va
rious items of cost attending the preparing
and shipp'ng of wool. Mr. John Minto.
who has become known among fanners
for his excellent judgment, as well as pop
ularity in growing wool.s writes to the
Salem Unionist upon the subject, from
which we quote ;
1 hate doubt a to the: likelihood of 2.
cents being realize! by shipping East at
the present time. Indeed. I think it could
not. My reasons for so thinking can be
gathered in part from my own experience,
of shipping East: I can see no great en-courage'-M'ut
to ship common Wool. Par
ties who have large crops of fine wool !
that can yet be washed on the sheep, or
those who have good combing wool, by
taking the same process might make it
profitable to ship. It seems to me that
taking into ' consideration the general
downward tendency of prices, which is the
result of economical peace succeeding
wasteful war. tlie facS that there is a panic
sensation in commercial and manufactur
ing business, the wool-growers have rea
son to feel satisfied that prices for wool is
fully sustained, while other products have
fallen so low. We have cause to thank
the combined action of the wool-growers
and wool-manufaet lire's on the Atlantic
side for the amended tariff law. which,
through the National Wool-Growers' and
National Wool-Manufacturers' Association,
they succeeded in recommending to the
favorabie action of Congress. Its effect in
sustaining prices now, isj an indication
that it will answer-the purpose of its Adop
tion as soon as the business of the country
settles down on a peace basis.
The Booth FxcrriiMENT. Booth's diary
lias at hist been' published.' It occupies
les than a half a column of the Trib
une. It is dated April IS. 14 and 21. It
is unimportant, arid there is no reason'
to suppose there has been any of it sup
pressed. The President authorized the
publication. Secretary btaifon furnished
a statement of the facts connected with the
capture, and affirms the integrity of the
diary since the first s.s shown in the
statement in the diary.
" For six months we worked to cap
ture Lincoln. Tho cause was almost
lost. . Something decisive must be done.
1 struck boldly. My failure is owing to
others who did not strike boldly. tl wrote
a long article and sent it to the Intdli
(jencer. setting forth our wrong."'
Under date of Use 21st the diary says:
' I am in perfect despair. I am looked
. .1 1 1
upon as a common cui-uuoai. 1 1; a e;
been serving a degenerate country ; mv
actions. ire purer than Brutus. r o tell
what. I have done fills me with horror.
God forgive me. Bless my mother to
night. Once more 1 will try to cro-s the
river. 1 have a great desirv to return
to Washington and clear my name. God
spare me from death as a criminal. "'
The Tribune s lys that Baker's exciting
narrative discloses Mrs Surratt's confess
ion. Baker was concealed. The plot, was
to capture Lincoln, and she reluctant !y
yielded to the plot for assassination.
Booth was buried under the old peni
tentiary in the cell formerly used by the
ordnance demrtiet.

of the Emigrant Tin Store, dispatched two
teams laden with tin ware, for the upper
portion of the valley, yesterday morning,
says the Herald of Wednesday. The first
and largest was an immense Cone'ord
wagon, drawn by four horses, and piled
full of tinware suitable for the country
trade. The second wagon was smaller and
drawn by two horses. This tinware is sold
for cash or truck throughout the country,,
and an incredible amount of it is sold du
ring the year. On the last trip Mr. Lake
was absent just five days, and during that
time sold $700 worth of ware. As the
wagons drove out of town we heard many
remark that the men who fitted out such
an expedition must rf necessity be ener
getic and enterprising. " You bet they
are, we will add.

The California wheat market is reported
quiet, the last few days, and we have nothing
new to state wih reference to Oregon mar

California for ourexport tonnage, so long we
must take the chances, and let California

Califo-uians, rule our prices. n't see that
Wheat sold in San Francisco for export, a
day or two since, at prices ranging from

just as well adapted for an export trade as

one-half below San Francisco. This tribute
is rather steep we are inclined to thiuk.

regard it simply as a piece of silly imper
tinence for .the Con.rirr to assume to ask
such a question, wo will say by way of an
answer that the T'.vioxrsr cares not a fig

Mutual Life Insurance. Life
Insurance may be well said to be a duty,
especially with married men. It is not only
a humane, but a christian institution. The
greatest advantage of Life Insurance is that
it makes a provision for families when most
needed, and when every other means may

and prove a solace to you on your thing bed.
