The State Agricultural Society.
Last week we spent three days
with the Board of Managers of the
State Agricultural Society, at Salem.
The list of premiums was arranged;
committees and judges appointed, and
much other business transacted. The
Society have increased the premium
on Beef cattle, and have assurances
from parties east of the Cascade
mountains that stock of this nature
from that region will next fall carry
off the premiums. Judging from an
interesting letter in another column,
from Grand Eonde Valley, perhaps
this may be true. We know that
Eastern Oregon and Washington
Territory afford the best range for
stock at this time, and that climate
is equally as good as this for the pur
pose of raising mutton and beef.
Increased premiums wero also of
fered in various other classes. And
a more close attention to the tricks
of unprincipled men who come to the
Fairs for the purposes of Jockeying
was advised and acted upon.
The time fixed for holding the next
State Pair was six days, from the
20th to 25th of September, inclusive.
Putman Smith of Portland, owner of
Pathfinder and other fine blooded
horses, has charge of the grounds of
the Society until the opening of the
next fair. The Society seem to re
gard Mr. Smith as the Bonner of
Oregon an admirer of good stock,
and a gentlemau every way worthy to
be trusted.
In the Pavilion the display at tl e
coming fair will be larger, undoubt
edly, than at any previous time in
asmuch as the Society have offered
as additional premiums, a silfer cup
to any lady taking six or more first
premiums in class ten.
During the present season a con
tract will be let by the Society for
the sinking of an artesian well of
seven inches diameter on the Fair
Grounds. It i3 thought that by
sinking to a depth of from 250 to
300 feet a sufficient stream can be
had to supply the grounds with water
for all purposes. The experiment is
well worth a trial, and if successful
the Society hate established a fact
that will be worth, in money alone,
many thousands of dollars, to the
counties of Marion, Polk, Benton,
Linn, and Lane.
Many people look upon the State
Agricultural Society as only entitled
to credit for getting up an exhibition
in tha fall of each year at Salem,
never looking forward to other mat
ters which occupy very much more
time and attention. The State Ag
ricultural Society of Oregon is the
only organization in this State de
serving of the least credit for efforts
put forth for the public good. And
if the Society were to receive its just
proportion of credit that class of onr
citizens known as the farming com
munity would be better represented
everywhere. We were pleased to
see the Society so ably represented
as it was at Salem last week, and it
did tts godd to hear of its plans for
flttufa actioti, most of which were
adopted.
The Society have collected and
complied most valuable statistics,
through its late President, Mr. A.
J. Dufur, of Multnomah county, and
have ordered 5000 copies for gratuit
ous distribution in the Eastern
States; have authorized the publica
" tiort of a weekly journal at Salem, to
be devoted to these self same in
terests; have recognized the value of
the arts and sciences of our young
State taking a front seat in the De
partment reports at Washington, and
done much mere thau we can here
enumerate, in the short space of one
article without other data than our
memory of he proceedings of the
Board. We trust that the efforts of
the Society may be better appreciated
in future, and that grumblers will be
less numerous. The business of the
Society is almost a gratuity on the
part of those entrusted with it, and
that they perform their work so well
urely shows that they have a heart
in it. The officers fcr 1869 are as
follows:
President. T. L. Smith, Kose
bur?, Douglas County.
Vice Presidents. T. L. Davidson,
Salem Marion county. Wm. Elliott,
Needy, Clackamas county.
Corresponding Secretary. John
Minto, Salem, Marion comity.
Recording Secretary. Alfred Lu
elling, llillsboro, Washington connty.
Treasurer. J. H. Moorcs, Salem,
Marion county.
Hoard of Managers. J. W.
Lewis, Oregon City Clackamas
county. J. II. Douthit, Albany,
Linn county. Benj. J. Stewart,
North Yamhill, Yamhill county. A.
J. Dufur, Portland, Multnomah coun
ty. C. P. Bacon, Portland, Multno
mah county. J. G. Basket, Dallas,
Polk county. Win. Wyatt, Philo
meth, Benton county.
The small pox in Jacksonville is
abating.
Beriah Brown's Press will appear
in Salem to-day.
The North Pacific Association
of Congregational Ministers will meet
in Portland on Wednesday next.
The third monthly installment
of $10 with assessment of $2 is now
payable at the office of the Portland
Homestead Associaiton.
James Bothwell has been ex
pelled from the Portland Fire De
partment for insubordination and in
suit to the Chief, Mr. Ilarry Weed
The schooner Louisa Simpson,
building at Yaquina Bay, is about
ready for sea, and will run regularly
between that place and San Fran
cisco. The Guard has been somewhat
agitated about a report that a"hurdy
gnrdy dance house'' was to be estab
lished at Eugene City, but learns that
the report is unfounded.
Up to this time there has been
no snow in the Wallamet valley, and
very little on the hills within sight
of the valley. There has been no
freezing at all. We believe this is
the mildest winter ever known in
Oregon.
The Eugene Journal says: We
hear it reported that another saloon
is to be opened in this place in a few
days. This one will make five fa
loons, besides a brewery and distill
ery, which will probably be run
ning before long.
Th j Gazette says that on the
western borders of Benton connty,
toward the coast, there are large
tracts of valuable lands which are un
surveyed and even unexplored. Quite
a number of claims have been taken
there recently, and others will be
taken in the spring.
Butter is very scarce in Oregon
and commands unusually high prices.
It retails in Portland for 621 cents.
In the towns up the valley there is
almost no butter at all. This is ab
solute improvidence. We see little
change for the belter in this respect
since fifteen years ago.
The State Agricultural Society
will make an attempt to bore an ar
tesian well on the Fair Grounds. As
Beriah Brown is establishing himself
at Salem, the Commercial suggests
to the Managers of the Society, to
engage him to bore it with some of
his interminable articles about " our
self" and the " resolutions of 98."
The Committee on Statistics of
the State Agricnitural Society, have
recommended that five thousand
copies of the report on the resources
of Oregon, presented by A. J. Dufur,
be printed in pamphlet form for cir
culation in other States.
A most ridiculous statement ap
pears on page 394 of the Depart
ment Report of Agriculture for Oc
tober 1868, concerning Oregon. We
are free to admit that last )rear was
an exceptionable one in this State,
but if a man had puzzled his brains
for a half a century to throw odium
on the State he could do it no better
than thus report all the dross with
out any of the gold. As the para
graph relates only to Marion county
we give that portion of the State the
preference in correcting the effects
of the paragraph.
Following the rumor that an
opposition line of steamers tfas about
to be put on between this port and
San Francisco, says the Herald, we
hear another rumor that Ben. Holla
day designs puttbg on two additional
steamers, making four steamers a
month. Whether either one of these
rumors has any foandation, we afe
of course not advised; nevertheless,
there are some grounds for both. It
is a very evident fact that more
steamers are needed, even at the
present time, and this demand will
increase as the spring opens. We
look for an influx of population and
a corresponding increase of trade next
spring and summer, that will astonish
even tb most sanguine among u4
Letter from Grand Ronde Valley.
La Grande, January 24th, 1S69.
EL Enterprise :
Having leisure to-day, aDd as thi
beiDg my first winter visit -and trip
over the Blue Mountains, V thought
it might interest some of 'your readers
to have a little sketch ot the upper
country, winter scenery, &c.
I will not attempt to describe the
trip np the Columbia, as that has
heen eulotrized so often, by better
writers than I claim to be, so I will
commence at Umatilla Landing,which
we left at two o'clock in the morning
with as jolly a set of fellows as you
will wake up at that time of night
anywhere, all bound for the foot-hills
for a chicken hunt. But of course
we could see nothing for four or five
hours excepting the flashes of" loco
foco matches" as they were applied
to the Ilavauas or big merchaum
pipes, which soon made a fog in the
coach which would have made a
ground hog leave his house; but, as
we all had a band in it, of course we
stood it cheerfuHy.
Presently day dawned, and the sky
was clear and serene, and as the suu
began to peep over the hill tops it
opened out to view a vast extent of
country not covered with snow as
you may expect, but with a heavy
coat of the most nutricious grass that
ever grew from the earth, and con
tinued the same until we struck the
snow line high up tbe Blue Mountains,
which continued to deepen until we
reached Meacham's station, near the
summit, just as it began to get dark.
All this time we had been traveling in
a coach, -very comfortably, making
good time, as the road was (as it is
here termed) well broke, but when
we jumped out into fifteen or twenty
inches of snow we began to think that
ne were in a high northern latitude
as well as altitude.
We were soon very comfortably
seated around the cheerful fire of our
hospitable host, Mr. Mcacham, (broth
er of our should have been Elector),
and in a short time supper was an
nounced, when of course we all moved
forward to the scene of action, well
prepared to do ample justice, particu
larly to such a bountiful repast ns
Mr. Meacham always spreads. Suf
Gee to say that wo passed a very
agreeable night, both as to eating
and sleeping, and in the rooming,
after a hot breakfast, at about six and
a half o'clock a fine four horse sleigh
was in waiting at the door ; and now
comes the finest part of the whole
trip.
I was raised in a snow country, and
thought I had seen some sleigh riding,
but it was hardly an introduction to
this from Meacham's to Pelican, a
distance of twelve or fourteen miles,
which was made in a little over an
hour. After we passed the " eum
rait" it was all down hill, and the
horses had to " git," to use a slang
phrase, to keep out of the way of the
sleigh. It appeared sometimes as
though we were sitting iu a chair of
a steam swing. But away we flew,
and trees and hills vanished from our
sight until we arrived at Pelican sta
tion, where M as exchanged onr double
geared jumper for the irksome old
coach again. It was still still down
hill, and we soon came in sight of
the most picturesque scenery the eye
of man ever rested upon. Before
you opens Out a valley from fifteen to
twenty miles in width and thirty to
forty in length, which the eye takes in
at a single glance, walled in all
around by snow capped mountains
that lift their boary heads in majestic
grandeur; and still in the distance
another range towering higher and
higher as though, they were vieinjr.
with each other for the supremacy.
On their lofty peaks stand the shiv-
ering tamarack, tbe towering fir, and
majestic pine, all glistening like pyr
amids of living lsicles, which makes
the traveler think be is in the midst
of " Greenland's icy mountains," and
at the same time he is standing on
the warm naked soil, where the sun
looks down from the blue firmament
above as though a cloud never ob
scured its rays, and where herds of
cattle roam the year around without
taxing their owners a dollar for food
except in very rare cases of an extra
hard winter.
Right here let me give the relative'
difference in cattle raised here and in
the Wallamet Valley, at the present
time. Mr. Foster, a butcher of this
placej and a person who has the repu
tation of being a reliable man, told
me that be had killed an April calf
in November which netted over 400
lbs.; also that the common weight of
three-year old steers bred in this val
ley, killed the fall following, was
from nine to twelve hundred lbs.
while those raised in the Wallamet
Valley till two-year-olds and driven
here would go from seven to nine
hundred pounds.
While I have nd donbt that this is
the finest stock country in the world,
and while this valley, and Powder,
and other valleys are full equal to
the Wallamet for grain of all kinds,
and while they are surrounded with
gold fields in every direction, still it
has a great many disadvantages, in
comparison with the Wallamet.
These valleys will be liable to failures;
they never can raise good fruit or
fiuejregetables, because the seasons
are. too short. Mr. Khoades tells me
that he raised about six bushels of
apples this year, but they do not
look like apples ; they do not mature;
they look like apples that have grown
on5 a tree which had been " girdled"
when the apple was half grown. Then
again rails delivered will cost from
eight to ten dollars per hundred.
And there is no outlet for the surplus
produce at present and never will be,
unless there should be a railroad
built throuffh the valleys. And no
i
countiy can prosper so long as the
supply is greater than the demand,
with no outlet for the surplus, w hue
the- demand waB greater than the
supply this was a fine country in
which to make money. 1 think,
however, there will always be a de
mand for stock about equal to the
supply, for there will always be a
foreign demand, and they find their
own transportation and live on God's
bountiful viueyard.
Iu conclusion I will relate an old
anecdote of Oregon's earliest history,
when marriageable women were very
scarce. It seems that there were two
old pioneers payinp- their respects to
a verv fine vounir ladv, both of
whom arc now married, but neither
of them to the vomic ladv in miestion.
O J '
so there can be no jealousy, as neither
obtained the prize. Une ot them
lives up here and tells the story him
self with a great deal of good humor,
beinc: fond of" jokes. The e-entle-
men's names were respectively Fruit
and Bacon, and the young lady we
will call .Miss C , pretty and wit
ty at that. Fruit becoming impa
tient and anxious to bring the mat
ter to a close so far as he was con
cerned, one day accosted the young
lady in the following manner:
" Well, Miss C , there is an
important decision to be rendered,
and you have the casting vote."
" Well; what is it, sir?"'
" FrWit and llicmr Miss, two arti
cles of very common use, and both at
your disposal; decide which you v i . 1
take."
After a moment's hesitation she
calmly replied :
Well, sir, for constant use as the
staff of life, I prefer Bacon ! but for
a variet, Fruit is very delicious."
So with respect to this regio:i. For
constant use as the staff of life, Web
foot is the place; but for a variety,
occasionally, this upper country is
very deliciou?.

The amount of the State taxes
for the year 1868, from all the coun
ties is 101,446 09. A part of this
sum has been paid in already, and
the balance is receivable. For the
rext year the amount will be an
equal sum at any rate, so by the time
the Legislature meets in 1870 there
will be at least $322,803, in the
treasury on which sum the people are
paying interest at the rate of ten per
cent., and that too without any fault
of theirs. It does seem as t Lough
this great leak should be stopped.
An Albany pnper explains the
cause of the reduction of the assess
ment of property in Linn county. It
says that farming lands in that coun
ty have been rated too high hereto
fore, higher in proportion than in
any other connty in the State. A
reduction has beeu made of from S5
to 810 per acre, which has largely
diminished the amount of property
relumed oii the assessment roll. The
reduction was made in order that
Linn county might not pay so much
State tax. If this sort of thing be
comes common, it may be necessary to
provide a remedy, the Orcgonian
suggests.
Tobacconists Take Notice. All
dealers in tobacco having on hand
more than twenty lbs. and dealers in
cigars having on hand more than five
thousand, are required by the inter
nal revenue laws to deliver an inven
tory to the V. S. Assistant Assessor
on the first day of each month, until
such tobacco or cig-irs are stamped
according to law. The attention of
dealers is directed to this requirement
of the law, the penalty is quite severe.
We have the act at this office for
sale, at the low price of 25 cents per
copy. Its provisions should be well
understood.
The Tribune's special says that
Senator Conness continued the de
fense of himself on the 28th, against
a supposed Imputation of certain
Senators, that his letter to the Land
Commissioner regarding the McGar
rahan case, was written for the inter
est of a California mining company.
He grew warm in his speech, and
closed by pronouncing that what
Fessenden had said to be false. After
the close of his speech, he added,
" that's it, sir." Fessenden replied
to Conness, and cut him through and
through with some of the keenest
sentences lately heard in the Senate
Chamber.

constant changes taking place; some
move to other parts, and strangers fill
