Walto is publishing a pamphlet of CO pages for the Oregon Pioneer Association, to contain tho Constitution of tho Society, tho addresses de lirerod last summer by lion. S. F. Cbad urick at tbo rounlon, the remarks on the Oregon question made on the same occasion by Gov. Grover, quotations from tho Journal and register of tho reunions of 1873 and '74 and several Interesting contributions from inembors of the Society. Mr. Waite has pro cured a handsome olectrolypo of the Stato saal under tho Provisional Government, which, is truly a tasteful and appropriate de sign, and will adorn tho tltio page. The -riamphlot will posses3 considerable interest to all early settlors of Oregon. Matie Trees. Speaking of maple trees 'and the difloronce in lavor of those raised from the seed reminds us that lu front of Mr. 3. W. Gilbert's premises, on tbe north, Btan's -a handsome maple about eighteen inches through which was planted fifteen years ago by Dr. W. H. Wilson, nnd Gov. Grover, who dropped the seed while tho doctor prepared , tho soil. Such trees grow sound and healthy while no tree taken from the woods, and its lop cut off f quarly, as is usual, can ever full .to have a dociyed spot in that place. 'The State Printing, Tho printers now . wait for the Judges to finish their opinions, anil they will all bo through this week. Some ol the Judges havo to to prepare opinions iu cases of 1873 i that were not before written out, to embody them in tho published decisions. Tho Stato printing woik will probably be completed and turned over to tho State some lime next week. State House Material. Tho Capitol Building Commissioners have the use of twelve hundred thousand brick that are ready made at the Penitentiary, and two million brick will raise all tho walls of the building to their full bight.

The prosecutions against Haupert, now confined in theoouuty ja.il for illegal selling liquor, will cost Marion county several thousand dollars if perse vered In. The man acted very badly but the opinion prevails that it was greatly duo to Ignorance nnd ho thought the U. S. license tio had would carry him through. The Prosecuting Attorney, Mr. Whitney, is try ing to savo Marion county from the terrible bill of costs that will be incurred. The jus tice before whom he was tried and mauy of the clllzsns thereabouts, have signed a peti tion for his pardon, and Bauperts friends will try to raise enough to pay the expense already accrued if tbo pardon is grantod. CMr. Whitney hopes to ave tho county all expense and to secure the release of Haupert, if the Governor will grant his pardon on those terms, and he certainly has received a arory severe lesson. Wants a Farm. A family, just arrived Jfrom tbo Eist, who look as though they would make very desirable citizens, were walking through town this morning. We understand the gentleman says that he will settle here if he can find laud to suit him at a ..cost of sixty dollars an acre. He cju buy jpletrty of as good land as lies out doors, in -Oregon for half that. So ho will probably stay, and good luck to him. Married. Iu this city Feb. 17. at the res- 'ideneeofDr. J. W.

There still remain 12 fines against htm In oases triad baforo Justice Powell, at Aumsvillei Application has beon made to Gov. Grover for pardon of Haupert on tho twelve cases In which he was fined at Aumsville. He re quires that ovldenco bo furnishod on alllda vlt before taking action and will probably do cido the caso Monday. There is evldenco to sbo'v that Haupert was warnod not to sell liquor to tho boys as they wore under age and the mercy towards him should not bo too general. It Is probable that be will be pirdoned, conditioned that all the costs, amounting psrhsps to $2V), be paid, and that one of tho $100 tines be also paid. That seems to be tbe fueliucr of all concerned. REAL E3TATE TRANSFERS. J. W.

Smith that several,' old miners from California prospected In tbo Santiam region lat fall and found Induce- raents sufficient to incline them to go back there with ample supplies to carry them through tbe wlnlor. Quarlzvllfo is Iu Dry Gtrioh, which has vory little water In sum mer, nnd not having been wasbod out by siicli torrents as sweep other gulches.

The rich placer diggings for iu thoir opinion tney aro both rich aud extensive aro situated just abovo Quartaville and wo understand tbe prospect la so good that those men In tend to move thslr families to tho mines In tbospiing. During the winter (hey havo washed out the tailings of tho old quartz mill wbloh work- d ore from tbo Whlto Bull mil e'wKb such good results that they hive pollocted 800 pounds of quicksilver which was wasted in the operations. The quicksilver of course carried off n largo amount of fine gold, nnd they have lately como to Salem andprooured a retort with whioh to sepiruto the gold from the quicksilver. Tho quicksilver nlone Is worth about f I per pound, or ?700 aud If tha gold proves anyways roinunoratlvo, as of courso it 8bo,uld, they will bavo made a good winter's work. There are plenty of persons who have un diminished faith that In tbe future Quartz vtllo will loom up more prominently than over and that tbo lookod up treasursof tho grim Chtode range shall yet do thtlr share towards enriching tho world and miking Oregou more famous.
