flOE3 One Source of "Wealth. Tbt wool olip of Easti ro Oregon the present year is immense and will increare until like Anstrlia, ita wool, product will yield more gild than b.r minns. Many of the cattle men of Eiiern Oregon aro disposing of their 6tcck and purchasing large flocks of cheep. As ye' men'a rights aTe ohFcrved; that ie. if a man take a flock ot sheep upnn a cert tin range, those who follow respect his right of priority and move onto other ranges. In time, these range will ba entornl and cat down in size the bunch grasi will be killed out, and owners will be compelled to oira for flocks in a similar mannei to the farmers cf this valley. Sheep kill out bunch grais in n few years, but a fine tender grass springs up in its place, which farntsbei excellent rarigo. The oittle men and the sbecp men do not d "oil togother in unity, as cattle will not range with sheep, the the latter eating the grass oloso to the ground and oausing tho borders to exchange frontier conplemonta, oftlimes io sundry nnd divers ways. For years to como there will be fort unes mndo on tho bnncb press hills of Eastern Oregon W asbington and Idcho, bnt tho time will coran when the stork men will bo cnmpoll ed to migrate or turn tbnir attention otherwise. The Ia"t timer from this port took awsy almost $200,000 worth of wool and still it ac cumulates daily at this point. List evening the stenmer Wide West brought down seven hundred baleB, and thousand moro aro wait- j ing to be forwarded to this port at varions 1 rlong tho Upper Columbia. Tbeyie'dof the Willamette valley this season will also be im rncn?e, and the farmer who ha3 spare acrapc can do no better than to turn it over to a fbek of sheep S'andard. Tnn Arabian Stallions presented fo Er President Grant by tho Sultan of Turkey, have just arrived in Washington and ao in charge of Col. J. It. Lovctt, owner and driver of the celebrated maro, American Girl. Crowds of horsemen and others are rasbin? to got r eight of tho bnnutiful apimnls. "Lopnrd." one of tho great horecB, is a dappled gry, six years old, and full grown. ''Linden Tree," the other, is a steel-grer, Ave yra-s old, and they aro both beauties. Tho Arabian Fhoes are a strange specimen of workmanship, made of a heavy fiat piece of sheet-iron adjusted to tho hoof, with a slight bend to fit it up under the fet'ock. Tho gorgeouB trappings are adjects of great interest. Offers of $50 and $75 bar0 been made for the old shoes, and ?5 ocb for the nails. These beautiful studs aro to bo ta ken to tho farm of Gen. Boal, near Wpshington aud kept until the roturn of thoir distingnishid owner, when wo may cxpeat fo pee tho Ex Prcsident handle tho ribbons an any evening, driving tho finest team in America In tho Ogden Freeman of the 10h inst. wo find the following interesting artio'e, Mr. Villard, tho partner of Jay Gould in the Oeden and Portland, Oregon, Railroad, was in Ogdcn Mondoy, and nfter oonferring with his ohief engineer, Col. Thielscn, instructions trers giv en by tolrgraph to put tbrco additional par ties cf eurvoyors in the field to hurry tho lnca tion of the road from Walla Walla via of the pars north of the stpgo road, through tho Blue Mountains, and put on a mffiricnt force to complete tbo rvilwny from Walla Walla to the Grande Hondo valley in time to tranfport the fall crops to tbo srnbrard. Tbo purcbore 0. S. N. Co's. lino from Astoria and Portland to Wallula, and Dr. Baker's railroad from Wallnla to Walla Walla was consumated by .Gould and Villard. It is also the intention to construct seventy-five miles of track across tbo lava beds of Snake river immediately, for the purpose of securing the trade of Idaho and Eastern Oregtn this reasan. This road will intersect the Ogden and Montana Rail road near the mouth of Portncof canyon, and strike directly for the point where the Little nnd Big Wood rivers mrJn their confluence with Malad river, and from thenco it will fol low tho valley of Cstnns creek across tbo Camas Prairio, thence to Boise City, This throws the track near the wonderful rich mines nnd vast forests of timber of Altnras and Lemhi counties, Idaho.

Not Useable. Tho report in circulation that Jny Gould has paid the monoy for tbe 0. S. N. Company's property and that tho fame is to be turned over on July 1st, is not founded on any reliable authority. Thero i a proba bility tbut the Comyany will sell, but it has not been consumated yet Standard. The Daily Bee says, the old Mexican veteran, Gen. Joe Lane, was serenaded last night at the Clarendon, by a large number of his friends together with the Northwestern band. The band played a tune on the corner of First and Alder and collected a crowd, after which the band marched down the street to the hotel. The old general was called out and made a short speech, which was re ceived wuh applause. Lane is the only general of the Mexi can war who is alive now. Gen. Jas. Shields, who died less than two months ago, left Lane the sole survivor, and it will not be long before he, too, will be placed upon the retired list." W. H.
