The people are deuply concerned and

It ia not our purpose to pursue this

-fully understand the situation. The rev
enues of the State have largely increased
in the last six years, and it seems a little
strange that, if there has been no CTooked
4noas,the State debt should have increased
tto wonderfully. If the Standard is not

ette University ha i-c ma.i f years been
an occasion of deep iuteresi, o the friends
and patrons of that de.e. vingly popular
institution and to the ei izoin of Sulem
generally.
This was fully evinced by the large
numliers in attendance from a distance
and the eager crowds of .p c atora, t!mt
j tliroiiged the cluijiel of tlie University,
from day to-duy. At no former occasion

Primitive were the firesides in those
days, but great, warm hearts gave cordial
welcome and hearty zest to humble feasts.
In the whirl of life, as each jostles the
other in the eager race, it is well to have
these reunions, it is well to relax for a
time and recall the past, both for pleasure
and profit. These reunions have now
come to be a fixture in the "TinW'of our
State, and may each succeeding one be as
this has, better than the preceding one.

Dear Sir: We contemplate exhibiting at
the Twelfth Industrial Lxhibition, to be
held at San Fraaciaco during the months of
August and September of the curreut year,
s collection of Oregon products similar to
the Centennial Exhibit, which hasjmived so
much credit to our State, and respectfully
request your assistance in the undertaking.
Y ou are no douot aware nt the tact mat our
! neighbors in California Are doing much in
jury w uur cwk u iiuuicluu uw u"m-
'Songm immigrants their erroneous ideas
of the resources and climate of Oregon, thus
deterring them from coming here. To meat
; there wiu notmng niore effective than to
place before the people of California a com
plete collection of the varied products of our
State, and to show that they are unequaled
anywhere.
Should this meet your viewrs, I would re
spectfully reouest vou to send us specimens
of grains and. grasses in sheaf, vegetables,1
nax, Ira it. wool, timber ana articles manu
factured from them.
Articles left at the railroad station, ad
dressed to the undersigned, will fie for
warded free of charge. Any reasonable ex
pense incurred in collecting and packing
samples will be paid.
As the exhibition opens on the 7th day of
August, it is desirable tliat articles intended
for exhibition should reach Portland before

By resolution Dr. Wm. McKay was in
vited .0 pivpa-e an article on the early
history of Oregon.
Geu. JjoI Palmer was intnnhiced and
talked of his several trips across the plains,
how he published a guide, his exjHTieiice

Dr. Win. McKay, spoke of early times
in Oregon, of things that happened be

le mentioned; In 1828 the Willamette
Valley wa-s full of Indians. On the Wil
lamette and on the Columbia, their ca
noes uniidicriid thousands. In 1830, a
disease killed off the bulk of the popula
tion. The Doctor stated that since he

The morning meeting closed by remarks
from Hon. Stephen Staats.
The Directors paised a resolution de
signating .he West Shore as the organ of
the Association.
Some persona complained of the raan-
agenieu. because a gate fee was charged,
but considering the embarrassed condi
tion of the treasury it was perhaps the
wises, thing that could have been done,
since without aid from some source the
Association would be greatly crippled if
not entirely disorganized. In this con
nection an instance of this adverse criti
cism is proper. One picnicer thus de
bates with himself : "Shall I spend fifty
cents to go in, or shall I go to town and
give up. I'll go to town. "
The Association adjourned yesterday
evening after a most pleasant reunion.
Nor is recreation the oidy chief value of
the organization for many historic facts
will be recovered from oblivion and placed
in such shape that the future historian
will be able to give a true and fierfect
account of the early settlement of Oregon.
Habits. Like flakes of snow that fall uu
pereeived upon the earth, the seemingly un
important events of life succeed ene another.
As the snow gathers together, so sre our
habits formed; no siuule flake that is sdded
to the pile produces a sensible change; no
single action creates, however it may exhibit,
s man's character; but as the tempest hurls
the avalanche down the mountain, and
overwhelms the inhabitant and his habita
tion, so passion, acting upon the elements of
mischief, which pernicious habits have
brought together by imperceptible accuinu
lation, may overthrow the edifice of truth
and virtue.
Thk Hat or the Season. The new
Spritif! hat worn by the ladies, says a fem
inine Uwluon writer, is just too big for any
thing, and happily we shall be rid of tlie
monotony of hearing this feminine decora
tion called sweet. Hats tliat started some
years ago ne luuxer than an acorn have
grown to such size as to cast a shadow half
way across the street, aud s couple ot"them
would save the promenade ou two block
from sunstroke.

Salt Lake Crrv, June 7, 1S77.
En. S'Iatksm.vs ; As there is much ex
citement nt present in the United States
concerning the condition of tilings in
Utah, I take the liWty to nddii'wt a let
tor, through the columns of tho S'mtks
man, to my friends in Oregon, and to
your readers in general, relative to tliat
subject. There is indeed much excite
ment here and has boon since the execu
tion of John D. Lee, hut I am inclined
to the opinion that the outside world
think it mure serinus than it really is.
Reports are current everywhere that the
Mormons are Itelligorant ; that they defy
the United State Government; that they
are drilling secretly, and the last sensa
tion which has agitated the ieople is of
the nature of an assassination. As to
tho truth of these assertions one cau
judge from apjiearttnees. So far as my
personal knowledge goes 1 have scon no
indications of war in this region what
ever. As for tlie asHaiuiniitioii, the decision
is a matter w holly at the option of the
individual. The case stands about as
follows: On Thursday r. M. , May Ulst,
J. B. Stillson, the Suit Lake correspond
ent of tho New York Herald, culled to Mr.
Erb, lessee of tho Walker House, in this
city, aud stated that an attempt hud laieii
made to assassinate him. Said while he
was seated at his dusk, in hi.i own 100111,
reviewing some uiantMcript, a ku.ick was
heard at tlie door to which he rcijioiided
by admitting the visitor. The la ter, he
said, is a tidl, dark man, well dressed,
110 board, except goa .ee, and jumses
scs the coui)ilaisa:iue of a gen
tleman. ( Mi entering the room he held
toward the corrcsioiidunt a iaier and
said : "Here ih an afiiduvit which inter
ests you." Tho correspondent of the
Herald arose to receive the pajiertt, but
when within reach of them his visitor
suddenly withdrew them and directd a
tierce blow at him with a knife, which
cut through his vest, two photograplis, a
silk handkerchief and bulged aguinst his
HiirtKjnler buckle. The blow was so
strong as to prostrate Stillson, but the as
sassin left the scene. In a few seconds
Stillson followed with a revolver but the
! man had escaiied. Stillson also asserts
1 . . r
tlmt- " the hatunUy ''Vong Wore,
while ndnii; along East Temple street
! from C'ami Doii-'ias, a man tired a shot
tro,u 8 revolver t ''. but the Ull did
1 not take rti'eut. He thinks both deeds
were done by the same man. An inves
tigation was held by Mayor Little on the
following day, but no evidence was given
which could lie said to corrolioratc the
statements of S.illson, nor anything to
disprove those statements. No trace of
such a man could be found. No one had
seen any one enter or go from the hotel
tiearing that description. No one had
heard a shot tired ou the evening afore
said. Mr. Stillson's vest, the photo
graplis and the snspender buckle showed
that a knife had lieen thereabouts and an
abration of the skin on his left breast,
gave evidence of a contusion.
Tlie Mormon claim that it is a sensa
tion gotten up to embitter the world
against then;, while the anti-Mormons,
many of them, think the assertions of
Mr. Stillson true.
The spring season here has Wen about
as wet as an Oregon spring. Old settlers
say it is unusual. Crops look well, ex
cept fruit, which is rather thin this year
on account of lute frosts.
Many excursionists here now, although
times are dull More anon.

" I have been troubled from my boyhood
with chronic or hereditary lung complaint.
Some years since early in tlw winter, I took
cold, which as usual, settled into a severe
cough, which continued to increase as the
season advanced, although I made use of all
the cough remedies I had knowledge of. My
family pbynicisn also prescrilwd for me, but
I experienced no permanent relief. Iluring
all this time I was gradually running down,
losing flesh and strength, until my frieuda as
well as myself Is-came very much alarmed,
thinking I should waste away in consump
tion. "While in Boston, during the spring
following, I was induced to try Wwtak's
Balsam or Wn.u Chekkv. After one day
trial I wss sensible that it was relieving ne;
in ten days my cough had ceased, and I was
restored to health and strength. I have evs
ince kept the Balsam in my house, an 1
