'The facilities which exist in Oregon
for raising stock have been mentioned
heretofore in connection with the soil
and climate. J!ut in order to illustrate
these facilities more clearly reference is
had to the tatisties of tho (, '.'em

and a comparison drawn between the
co-t of raising stock in Oregon, on the
northwest cuat, and in Maine, on the
northeast eoasl, both States b"ing situ

"Tu have a splendid state," said
Hon Frank Pixly to an Oregonian
representative after his return from The
Dalles last night. "1 had read about
Oregon, but 1 hail no more idea of its
grandeur and magnificence than I
have of some distant South American
state; L'tn going to bring Stanford, aril
some of our capitali-ts up here this
summer and let them Fee what they

want your state connected with ours
by all moans, and S in Francisco culd
well afford to issue bonds and build tho
270 miles of railroad and supply the
missing link. I'm not gushing. The
best evidence of the grevtncs of a
state is its food-producing qualities.

item we take from the State Line Her
ald: V'e are reliably informed that
the U. S. mail has come to a stand
still on every portion of Colvrell'a line,
and that three or four hundred pounds
of mail matter remain stacked up in
Linkville. The citizens of this place,
however, are having this mail brought
through at their own epens.
Mr. Steel, the p stal age-it, inform
us that the above complaint is justified
in every particular, and tint he has
notified the authorities at Washington
at least twenty times of Co I roll's short

friends at the National Capital who
will defend him against all :vss: ult?,
W hope that our Senators will give
this matter a little attention, for the
non fulfillment of a mail contract is a
serious offense, and should besumma

for that route is j-aid to le an estima

the result will o cannot be foretold,
yet in all probability it will hasten the
day when the chains which have
bound Oregon for thesa many year to
California will bo loosed by railroad
communication with the East. One
line of oars will insure two, as the
Northern Pacific will use every exer
tion to complete their road, and the
Central Pacific will not allow Gould of
the Union Pacific to hare the cream of
Oregon's trade, but will srart the con

through to this city, which is not more
than half tho distmce which Gould
wdl have to cover in order to reach"
this city. Let them come, we are

India .v Trouules. From Colon"!
Long we learn that a number of In
dians, with a large band of horses,
crossed over the Columbia in the vicin
ity of Kockrillo, in this county, and
undertook to drive the sheep men off
he rauge, giving them to understand
hat they wanted the grass for their
horses. But as the sheep men, num-
)ering some twenty or more, well arm
ed, soon congregate.! on the spot, the?
fndians soon quieted down and left.
We do not wish to advise the people of
that section to do anything calculated
to gt them into trouble; but we be
lieve if they wovld kill about fifty or
even a hundred of these insolent, mur
dering, Columbia river Indians, they
would rest easier in the future. There
is nothing like a dead Indian for
