The Progress of Ensilage. [American Agriculturalist] -> [S. F. Bulletin March 6.1 enterprise of very great iui- ! has been quietly pushed in for several years, and is now so far advanced that people in the vicinity of th»road have begun to realizo what (thc work going on means. A gentleman who recently arrived from Ontario, in Eastasn Oregon, there struck evidences of railroad extensions which caused him to make further inquiries, developing ini- portant bets. For some tinio the people of San F ran- cisco have heard of die Oregon Pacific Railread, and have regarded it merely as a little road, sixty or seventy miles long, running from Yaquina baj’, ono hundred mile« south of the Columbia river, to Corvallis on the Willamette river. When a steamer was put on the route between San Rrancisco and Yaquina and grain a $rriod ffrviod froiu from the the interior interior- of of Oregon Oregon to this port for about half the former rates, considerable interest was excited, which subsequently died out when it was supposed that at Corvalis the railroad would have its eastern terminus. It ap pears now, however, that the little road from Yaquiua is to be extended 500 miles or more eastward, and it is to become the western link of another trans continental railroad. W ork on the extension of the road east of Corvallis lias l»een begun, and pileff for a bridge across the Willam ette river between Corvallis and Albany are being driven. It is understood that the bridge will be of the heaviest and most substantial character, sufficient tu accommodate engines of about double the weight now in use on that road. From Albany the read will extend East, across the Cascade range, and follow the Malheur river to the Oregon line, pass ing all the way through a rich country, every mile of which is cajiable of use. The best grazing lands in the Union arc said to be along the Malheur river and along the eastern border of tho State in its vicinity. The terminus of the road will he Boise City, Idaho, where the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad will connect with it, forming another trans continental line. Work lias begun on the eastern end of this line near the Ore gon boundary, and a large force of labor i ers and material having been sent thither by way of tho Oregon Short Line to On tario. It is cx[mcted that 70 or 80 miles II of road will be finished this season, tak ing the lino from Albany to the Cascade Rango. Rails are going forward by each steamer from this port to Yaquina. Sev eral engines and passenger cars and three or four hundred box cars for the read arc on the way West, and this year will sec a very great change in railroad facili ties. Grain elevators arc to be erected, and a machine shop and foundry arc to bo built, the machinery aud appliances for the latter being made by Tatum & Bowen of this city. The journey to Portland or the Willa mette valley by this route saves 250 miles of ocean travel and the danger in crossing the Columbia river bar. The heart of the Willamette valley is reached at Corvallis, ahout 70 miles from Yaqui na and 90 miles south of Portland. The harbor of Yaquina bay is good and is be ing improved by the construction of a breakwater, which is deepening the chan nel. There is now a minimum depth of water at a low tide of 14 or 15 feet, and on a lvilf tide there is plenty of water. On full tide there is from 21 to 24 feet of water. The now jetty will, it is be lieved, add five or six feet to tho depth of water. A hotel has been built at Yaquina, and it has been found neces sary to double its capacity, so great has its pressure on accomodation become. There is every indication of the rapid extension and completion of the new road, and land along its line has been taken up in largo lots. Miller & Lux. of this city, have an immense stock range near the Milheur reservation, and there arc other largo ranges in Eastern Oregon which arc peculiarly fitted for stock- raising. No large tracts are now obtain able, the largest being from 200 to 300 acres. Within the last few years ensilage has passed tho experimental stage, and has A. r. HAMMOND, M.

The phy sicians appointed to examine the mental condition of King Ludwig, have reported that his malady incapacitates him from governing properly. In consequence of this, Prince Leopold, uncle to the king, has issued a proclamation, countersigned by the ministers, in which he assumes the regency and summons the Bavarian diet to meet on the 15th inst. Count Holstein, who was instructed by the min istry to wait upon the king and ask him to authorize the appointment of a regen cy council, was arrested when he entered the castle of Hohenschwagnan. The king also gave orders that a guard of gendarmes be placed around the castle. A deputation of Ministers of the Bava rian Cabinet proceed»^ to tho Castle to present a letter to King Ludwig from Prince Leopold. They found the castle locked, and they were not permitted by tho King’s pickets to enter. The Minis try subsequently sent a force of gend'- armes to the castle to force an entrance for the purpose of releasing Count Hol stein. Gend’armes have been detailed to preserve order among the mountain population surrounding the castle, the mountaineers being loyal adherents of the King and of dangerous temper be cause of the State’s conduct towards him. King Ludwig remains in a most absolute ly secluded part of the castle. NO. 1. A HENDISH SECRET SOCIETY. THE WEDDING PRESENTS. The U. S. Grand Jury at Seattle, com posed of farmersand laborers filed a very sensational report on the 5th, ns the re sult of their investigation. In the report aa published they claim to have discovered indisputable evidence of the existence of a secret society of socialists, denominated, “Red American Industrial Workman's Association,” and belonging thereto is a body of men, calling them selves “Scientific Socialists,” whose head quarters on this coast are in San Fran cisco. This association in all its branches is essentially anarchsl in theory and prac tice, the mam articles of the creed being arson, robbery, and murder, its ultimate purpose being the overthrow and sub- version of the government to its nefa rious purpose. More than a year ago, the Pacific Coast was selected as a good field to establish the movement and ac cordingly branches were established at Seattle, Olympia, Tacoma and other t< *ns on Puget Sound. Agitation of the Chinese question was to be made at once us a pretext to cover the treason able operation* of the hand of Scientific Socialists. The labor organizations were unknown to the main body of the mem bers and systematically worked to cover the treasonable objects and purposes of the Scientific Socialists. All the disturb ances arising during the last six months on the Puget Sound, nominally from agi tation of the Chinese question, were really fomented, guided and incited by this infamous association. The real aims and designs of the association have been studiously kept from the knowledge of the real honest workingmen of the labor organizations, and the Jury goes on t<> say that the Scientific Socialists, as is declared in their secret and confiden tial instructions sent out from the execu tive center at San Francisco and which we, the jury, had before us, aim to de stroy private ownership in houses, lands, mines, machinery and all kinds of prop- ty, to this end they announce that when once they ate established in power, their first act will be to burn ail books where in the titles of private persons in land are recorded, etc., in a word, their doc trines are the worst ever promulgated and their authors ought to be severely' punished, and the organization wiped ollt. The Scientific Socialists, or Red Amer ican International Workmen's Associa tion, are, as shown by unmistakable doc umentary evidence before us, emanating fiom the Secretary, Sigismund Danele- wiiz, 715 Montgomery Avenue,Sail Fran cisco, secretly instructing their deluded ignorant and brutalized followers in the means of practically applying dynamite, how to seize Armories and military stores, how to prevent the departure of troops from central points, to preserve order in the centers of insurrection and how to imprison men of property and in fluence, and much more to the same ef fect. Such hideous conceptions are al most too diabolical for belief, but the Jury claims to have tho evidence and we have no right to doubt their state ment. Now tho question arises what shall be done with such monsters' [Washington Special.! What Constitutes Butter. The oleomargarine bill, as it passed the house, contains the following fea tures: Butter is defined to be food pro duct, made exclusively from milk or cream, or both, with or without common salt, and with or without additional col oring matter. Oleomargarine is defined as “all substances made of oleomarga rine, oleomargarine oil, butterinc, lard- iue, suinc and neutral; lard extracts and tallow extracts, aud all mixtures and compounds of tallow, beef fat, suet, lard, lard oil, vegetable oil, annotto, and other coloring matter; intestinal fat, and offal fat, made in imitation or semblance of butter, or when so made that it is cal culated or intended to bo s<>ld as butter or for butter.” Special taxes are im posed as follows: On manufacturers, $600; on wholesale dealers, $480: on re tail dealers, $48. The existing internal revenue laws, so far as applicable, are made to apply to these sjiecial taxes. Penalties are imposed on any person who shall deal in oleomargarine without pay ing special tax. Provision is made for the proper stamping and labeling of ev ery package of oleoinargine. A tax of five cents a pound is imposed on all oleo margarine manufactured, and a penalty is prescribed for the purchase and recep tion fur sale of oleomargar’nc not brand ed or stamped according to law. A num ber of sections of this bill are devoted to providing machinery to carry the law into effect. Horticulture Notes. CO 1 60 LOCAL.
