Thursday, Nov. 28.
BnnYMAN Bro.'s Building. Cooke &
Uonuls furnished the outside finish, cornice,
doors and windows, or Breyman's new
building and the Inside columns were turned
in their shop. They have turned out a large
amouut of good work the past season, and
their business extends through a great part
of the uppor valley. We erred in stating
yesterday the finishing work was all fur
nished by Boothhy and Stapleton; they did
all the Inside work.
New ENTEnriSE. Mr. Wm, E. Unwell
agent of the Union Gas Machine Company
of San Francisco, leaves on the out going
steamer to make arrangements for erecting a
a branch of the San Francisco factory, at
some point in Oregon. He will return in
about 10 days, and informs us that ho is
favorably impressed with this locality. He
has met with excellent success In Oregon,
having received many orders from Astoria,
Portland and Salem.
Gone East of the Mountains, Mr.
Joseph Holman loft several days since for
east of the mountains to make arrangements
with farmers in that portion of the State to
grow flax next season, He contemplates
making nr.-angements to have at least five
thousand acres cultivated east of the Cas
cades. In a few years more we expect to see
Oregon one of the first States in the Union in
the cultivation of this important article of
commerce.
Handsome Blankets. We saw yesterday
at the Woolen Factory a pair of white blank
ets which had lust been manufactured to till
an order for one of B. Goldsmith's San Fran
cisco customers. They were the most elegant
pair we ever saw, white as the driven snow,
soft as a baby's face, and a heap too nice for
an old forty-niner to roll himself up In with
his boots on, for a snooze in the sage brush
of Eastern Oregon.

FROM SOUTHERN OREGON.
Tfic Thrifty Town of Ashland A Beau

It. Dunbar.
Nov. 235, 1874.
Mr. Editor: I have neither time or
Inclination to-day to engige in an exten
ded description of the beauty and splendor
of the location or this thriving little city,
but si in ply desire to say that it is both
healthful and beautiful and creates in the
mind of the visiting stranger that it would
be a pleasant place to dwell.
It Is located on the stage road leading from
Roseburg to Redding, at the head or the
Rogue River Valley, between two closely
connecting spurs or the Siskiyou mountains,
the main chain of whloh is distant some
eight or ten miles and at this time presents
a beautiful appearance In the bright sun
shine of Southern Oregon, snow covered as
tbey are. almost from base to summit.
Lindsay Applegate one of Oregons old and
honored pioneers has a comfortable residence
and beautiful farm, near this place, where
he has a pleasant park laid out and enclosed
In a stroll through the park the other day
I found some throe or four different speoies
of Oregon deer, an antelope, wild turkeys,
geese, etc., etc.
There are something over one hundred
dwelling houses (and a number of others
building here), all full and a constant call for
more.
The academy Is well conducted by Prof. J.
H. Sktdmore, assisted by a corps of efficient
teachers. There are perhaps some one hun
dred and fifty Btudents In attendance from
various portions of this State and California.
There is one hotel here five mercantile
houses, one stove and tin store, a flouring
mill, two sawmills, livery and feed stable
two blacksmith shops with five fires, woolen
factory (doing a good work and turning out
a most excellent quality of blankets, oloths
and flannels) one drug store, telegraph of
fice, postoffloe, saddlery and harness shop,
carpenter shop with planing machine at
tached, two wagon shops, and two butoher
shops and "nary" a saloon or gambling dm.
Russel's marble factory Is turning out
many fine monuments and tombstones out
from Oregon marble, a fine quarry of which
is found some twenty miles from here in
Josephine county, near Williamsburg.
Mrs. Russel does the principal part of Ihe
fine work and shows remarkable good taste
in the designs. She showed me some Oregon
marble the surface of which was so highly
polished as to' mirror kllke reflect Images In
ft on k. of them.
Ca im & McCall are doing a good business
here In trade, as are also the enterprising
druggists, C. B. Watson and our old fellow
townsman Dr. Chltwood.
There is an Odd Fellows Lodge here, Wm.

Thanksgiving at the Episcopal
Church.
St. Paul's Church was filled to reple
tion yesterday morning at the Thanksgiving
services. The sermon by the Rector J. H.
Babcock was a masterly effort, and the sing
ing under the leadership of Prof. D. W,
Prentice was all that could be expected.
The ohancel, alter and ront were tastefully
adorned with the rich productions of our im
perial State. Sheafs of wheat, corn, barley,
oats, rye, and flax were beautifully arranged
while grapes, apples, pears with pumpkins,
squashes, beets, carrots, parsnips, potatoes
and other vegetables were scattered around
In rich profusion, Bsautiful fresh flowers
plucked Irom the gardeus of the Capital olty
gave a bllliant appearance to the whole dis
play. On the wall in Ulumlnatnd letters, ar
tistically arranged were the words "In every
thing give thanks." The decorations were
the handiwork or Mr. Geo. H. Boyd. This
morning Mr. F. A. Smith the artist took a
photograph of the Interior of the Church

PROGRESS.
Tlie World Moves ! Success at Last I
The agricultural world has long felt the
pressing need of a hay press, at onoe simple,
convenient, durable and powerful; combin
ing with these qualities, the ad vantage of be
ing sold at low figures. All these are ob
tained and combined In the Armstrong Hay
aud Cotton Press. The patent was secured
August 18th 1874, by E. T. Armstrong, Eq.,
a staunch old Oregonlan who in his Inven
tion has bestowed a benefit, not only upon
the farmers of this coast, but upon the agri
cultural community everywhere.
This press can be manufactured and sold
for less than half the price of any press now
before the public. The power used is uav
venal lever power and Is applied by hand.
The foroa reaulred to work it being so ntll
feed that a boy or fifteen years can operate
It with ease, and obtain twice the pressure
necessary. A striking feature of the power
u thai it can be detached from ths press and
used for ths purpose of raising and moving
building, polling grabs, and everything,
where like power is required.
It is monnUd for astd use; feat ths space
I
required in which to work It is so small that
it can be used in any shelter of sufficient ca
pacity to protect a wagon. The mode of
placing the bale cords around the hay Is the
most convenient that can be devised. The
cords are placed In the press previous to fill
ing with hay, and in closing the press the
cords are brought completely around the
hay with ends together ready for tlelng. As
the hay Is pressed the slack of the cords are
taken up by the power, and are to be tlod
while the bay is entirely enclosed In the
press. The same power that presses, also
pushes the bale out of the press, and If do
sired Into the wagon for transporting.
It does smooth work, and does not break
tho strain the great difficulty with the other
presses that might be mentioned. L. A.
Powell has control of ihN cast aud propo
ses to sell rights to manufacture, also State
snd county rights. Our business mon would
do well to secure the ritiht for this State.
THIS AND TII4T PAPERS.
NUMBER TWO FALLACIES.
Mankind are continually falling into errors,
and when once established in a false belief
defend It with an obstinacy that is truly won.
derful. The wise and learned have labored
through all tiinetohelpusoutortheseditoh
esof darkness, but we never are more than
safely out of one till we stumble headlong
into another that is, perhaps, worse than the
first. If we are not giving ourselves to be
crushed under the cruel wheels or Jugger
naut, we are journeying over the arid sands
ot the desert towards the sacred shrine or
Mecca dylngof hunger, thirst and exposure.
If we are not persecuting the saints, we are
burning the witches. If we are not shaving
our heads and wearing long faces, we are
dancing a hornpipe in the sanotuary. And
the more absurd the errors we embraoe the
more tenaciously we cling to them, for we
had rather be stubborn and persist In going
wrong than by changing our oourse admit
that we have been blind and foolish.
And while the world at large is upholding
its fallacies each Individual Is carefully fos
tering some erroneous notion of his own.
One is a deluded viotlm to the opinion that
he Is a genius; and, though all his friends
may know positively that he Is simply suffer
ing with a weak head, he Is sublimely Indif
ferent to their judgment as he has faithfully
nursed his own notion, and who so likely to
know what he is as himself? Another knows
he has the ability to steer the "ship of State"
through all manner of perils, edit a newspa
per or teach a district sobool better than any
body else, and Is only surprised that the fact
should not be generally known. All egotists
harbor the delusion that tho world Is not
able to appreciate suoh talents as theirs, and
In order to convince the world of its blind
ness they, at all times, advertise their own
greatness and ascribe unto themselves great
glory, while woe to the miserable wretoh
who, with the very kindest motives, would
Intimate, never so mildly, that they merely
make fools or themselves. However, there
are but few who undertake the unpleasant
and thankless task of showing others their
blunders. If we take tnat privilege we must
suffer from it in turn, and though we would
not mind sometimes telling others an unwel
come truth, we don't want our own feelings
hurt; therefore we aid each other In deceiv
ing ourselves. No man with an artificial orb
but believes the counterfeit to be perfectly
natural in appearance if not superior In color
and expression to a natural organ of vision.
It Is a harmless conceit, and who would de
stroy bis peace of mind?
No unfortunate youth ever saw his name
In print after be had exhausted his mental
resources In arranging a few rhymes to some
imaginary beauty, without feeling perfectly
blissful in idea that he was on the true road
to enduring fame. No man with an elabo
rately curled mustache ever encased his feet
in new leathers, elevated the same to the
mantel-piece, tilted his chair to the utmost
limits of safety, and inserted a Havana be
tween bis lips, but supposed himself to be a
picturesque specimen of manly perfection,
and believed the odor or tobacco to bo as
highly agreeable to every one ns to himself,
and If It wasn't it ought to be. No person
with "sandy" hair and complexion ever con
sulted the mirror without concluding red
hair aud freckles were not so bad after all,
and nursiug the comfortable thought that red
Is the prettiest color in the world any way.
Io truth, men hug their pet delusions. Here
a saucy voice warns me "to Inform the pub
Ho that she is not a delusion then. So, there."
How blind, too, we Judge the world to be.
What Immense pains we take to deceive It,
without onoe considering that it is a wise old
world and can see straight through our de
vices. The young lady who lights the lamp
and, without drawing the curtain, assumes a
graceful attitude at the piano, supposes, of
oourse, the passers-by think it a pretty little
accident, when they don't think anything of
the kind.
The yonng worshipper who spends two
hours arranging her toilet and placing her
curls In the most effective positions, and
faithfully attends every religious exerolse,
would have us believe she listens attentively
to every word of the sermons, snd in her
heart renounces all the pomps and vanities;
vet, all the time, we are or the opinion that
she Is a very worldly-minded saint. The
young man, who inhabits broadcloth tights,
and is the happy possessor of a dainty beaver,
and the odor of musk, is positive he conveys
the Impression wherever he goes that he is a
person or great consequence, while the world
merely wondering why he should longer
cumber the ground. Still be is Just as con
tented ss If all the world agreed with blm In
his opinion, and we would not dispel his ig
norance and rob of him bliss. . .
So It has baas, and so It is. We delude
oorselvss and are happy. Coaiims.

Money In Horn.
We havo repeated that there was money la
pork if farmers would raise good stock hogsr
and take advantage of the Improved breod
Introduced Into our State. Wo aro furnished
with proof of this as follows: Mr. Joseph Op
penhelmer, of Colvllle, two years ago pur
chased a good Berkshire boar pig or 8. G,
Reed, for the purpose or Improving his stock
or hogs. He recently killed twenty graded,
hogs 18 months old and their average weight r
dressed, was 300 pounds, two or them weigh
ing respectively 470 and 478 pounds. Who
can doubt, tbeti, that It will pay to Improver
our breed or bogs? It Is a great mistake to
soppose that hogs can only be fattened with, -wheat.
Every fanner should have a boiler
conveniently fixed to cook bog reed, and then:
he could utilize all his root crops, boll pota-
toes, squashes, apples, etc., add a little chop
ped wheat to strengthen tbo diet, and so in
sure hogs well snd cheaply rattened. There
Is no better opening for a sure thing In con
nection with farming to-day, than for every
farmer to raise at least twenty hogs and fat
ten thus each year. We even assert that be
would not lose money on them if be had to
feed them wheat worth a dollar a bushel. But
the first thing to do la to Improve the stock.
