Taking up a California paper, -which happens to be at hand, the first para graph we see reads: "Seven car loao. of emigrants arrived yesterday." A ut n tleman who lately returned from a vis.' to the East Informs us that the Pacific railroad was bringing thousands of em Igrants to California every week, and he adds: "They take great pains to pre vent nil they can from coming to Or egon." Tho truth Is that an emigrant coming to our State has to start from homo with an invincible faith in Oregon j or he will never reach here; his ears I will bo assailed with lies told by hired! 1 runners who travel out to meet every ,' incoming train and stay with the pas I engers until they reach their destina tions, working to detain them In that State and vending the roost unscrupu lous lies about Oregon, to'create a pre judice against our soil, climate and peo ple. A man coming to Oregon has to run the gauntlet of all possible mis representations as he comes through California, and it amounts to a miracle of faith when he continue his journey and finally arrives here. Some do so, and many more would If they were not falsely persuaded to the contrary. It would pay our State very well to follow this example and have every emigrant train that crosses the conti nent met by immigration agents who would disseminate documents giving reliable information, and use personal efforts to induce the emigrant to come directly to our State. It would pay us better yet to have some means of com munication with the East by-which wo could bo independent of California in fluence, and not have to paytoll when passing through that State. As It is, wo are in a manner trlbutaryto Califor nia,, which generously allows-us to have a crumb now and then, white-she parts the-loaf among her own favored child ren. California, which is burdened with tin mot dotestublo laud monop oly known in tho United States, whero there is scarco any probability of settling on government- land worth lmving, cannot possibly offer the chance of a homo to an emigrant which he can find in Oregon but she has the 3rst say and spends money to make herself known, while Oregon sits idly in possession of untold advantages and unKiiown resources, possessing me ii greatest wealth that onty needs devel opment. Tho cry that goes up from our State should be, "How long, O Lord ! how long !" Strange Fossil Heads. At tbe meeting of the Board of Centon nlary Commissioners last week the State Geologist exhibited two strange fossils heads which were lately discovered in Eastern Oregon, by collectors, and secured by him to Increase IiIh already valuable collection. We have delayed giving a particular account of them until Mr. Condon could find time to fulfill his promise to furnish tho data to base it upon. Tho larger one Is about sixteen Indies In length, finely distinct, with all Its teeth well dellupd, forty-six In number, anil changed to agato. The name given this animal by pilnuutologlsts Is Merychoohelrus; the head is more slender than that of the ox, and In siino respects resembles (hat of nn elk, from which It ill tl'ors In having the whole of the J.uvh ontlrely Utted with teeth aud with great hooked tusks at each corner of tho mouth above, with spear shaped ones below, Tbe brain cavity, was very small lor an animal of Its sUe. It was therefore both herbivor ous aud carnivorous. The other, the srottller herd resombles the Iiog family, U about eight luolios lu length, a tlno specimen of tho Platlgonus Coudonl, called so In honor of Mr. Condou, who dis covered tho first spoclmeu. These specimens were dug from a ravine in the Johu Day country, 2,000 feet below the surface, from a rook oom posed of tbe mud of au old lake which is now exposed In cartjns around the foothills of tbe Blue Mountains, and underlying muoh of their mass, so that they are really older than the lilue Mountains; and as tbe same rock la fouud underlying tbe voloanlo masses of the eastern slopes of the Cascades, they are also older thau the Cascade range. They belong, Mr. Coudou says, to tbe Miocene Tertiary period, which date back perhaps a half mil lion of years. The region of these discoveries extends two or tnree hundred miles, one exoanse of which has been laid bare In the canons of the Johu Day river and tributaries, the other iu those of the Crooked river, above Ocboco; aud a western extension towards Warm Spilngs. Tbo best localities or tho field are spots whero streams entered this old lake, washing there tbe skeletons and odd bines gathered by the floods, Fragments of bone and teeth were first discovered in tbe Crooked river valley by soldiers in 18SI. Mr. Condon went with a company of sol. dlers Into tho 8nako ludlan country next year, and finding like rocks tn tho John Day valley, set to work to explore that region; an exploration which resulted In tbo opening ol one ofthe nnest geological Molds in tho world. As toon as tho tact of these discoveries were published, collectors from tho Kast hasteuei to this now field, and since that time Kastern money has borne away from WILLAMETTE FARMER Oregon a large share of the historic wealth such fosslU compose, to grace other halls than ours. We are glad to fee that Mr. Condon gets hold of a new specimen occasionally, and es pecially of those valuable new ones we have noticed above. Yale College has taken Croat pains to add such specimens to its collection, and the scientific world looks with great in terest to each new discovery made In our Oregon fields. In the course of the lectures - J a iw being delivered at the University, Mr, Co udon will display these new acquired spec it 's and treat of them more fully than we are l low able to do The Oregon State Agricultural So ciet Y -Summary ot I'rocecd lug ot Board, Nov. 18T4.

THANKSGIVING. Thursday of this week has been set apart by the President of tho United States, and the Governor of Oregon, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise, when tke people should yield to the Bountiful Giver their heartfelt ac knowledgements for nil the good they enjoy. There are not many of us who pause in the daily round of existence to study tho reasons for thankfulness that exit; there are not many of those whose lives are devoted to toil and anxiety who realize that there is as much for them to exercise thankfulness over; but care oppresses all, and lies in wait as well for those who are more favored apparently,ln possessing worldly riches. we have only to look at the con dition of man to-day and compare it with what man was in the beginning, without culture, without development, with the powers of mind dormant, un awakened and untrained, to see that we possess cause for satisfaction and for gratitude to tho Creator who endowed us with mind that masters the animal creation, that investigates the causes that exist in Nature, that expands and becomes almost creative until it stands before the power of the Deity as a di dvine instrument. Our mission on earth may be toil some, dimmed and brfghteneflby turns with hopes-and fearsy clouded with sor rows and freighted wfth care; the pass age from the cradle to the grave may be oppressed with gloom, but even then trre-Star of Hope need never set and tke-bow or promise may always span theclouds. Earth is but for a time.and th'Divine-promise 'which we may rely upon, will sanctify all! the troubles of Earth to the joys of Eternity. Man has developed by his cares andhis-sorrows, ha grown- by acquiring knowledge, untilihe is but a little- lower than the angels, and1 we may be thankful to be- como pure gold, triedias by fire. The season of production has come anrJI gone, and we Mave in abundance- the-means to live andenjoy life. In no- othenlaud under trie broad canopy is theno a more wholesome measure of peace and prosperily; no whare else has mlndimadie moro general growth and freedom taken a flamer stand. Compar ing; our condition -with that sf the average- man of our day, or evan with tie average of the cltiisens of our own fii vooed nation, we have mush cause fer gratitude With full garners, and with happy homes, arid social priviliges so abundantly granted us, we may well joUiiin sich a Thanksgiving as is recom mended by the Executive powers that have consecrated the day to that pur pose.
