Gigantic Frauds on the Internal Revenue Unearthed. REVENUE OPWCEnS CONNIVE IN TIK FRAUDS WITH TUE DISTILLERS. Wasiiieoton, May 10 Investigations re cently made uuder direction of the Secretary of the Treasury and Commissioner of Inter nal Revenue, have resulted in the discovery of a well organized and formidable ring, which has been successfully operating for some time in the perpetration of frauds on the revenue in connection with distilleries In the West. The ring had Its- principal head quarters in St. Louis, Chicago and Milwau kee, and it appears had bought up a number ot internal revenue gaugers and storkeepers In these districts, who have now been dis missed. It Is estimated at the Department that a number of oflicers of mueh higher rank will be relieved soon, if not Sir partici pation in these frauds, for neglect of duty In not preventing or discovering them. It is in timated that several Internal' revenue collect ors, and at leant two supervisors in western districts will be speedily superseded. TUB SEIZURES AT MILWAUKEE.

The Gazollewas blown almost Into atoms, aud there were nlnoteen people killed aud twenty-six wounded. From a copy of tho Oregon Statesman of April 18, 1851, and a copy of the Weekly Oregonian ot April 15, 1S51, we learn that the ohlef eugineer naa run the Gazelle across the river aud stopped alongside of the steamer Willamette for a few moments to take on aoiue freight. She was then ruu a few rods further up to the wharr boas whore she stopped. Toner, the engin eer, left the steamer and went on board the wharf boat, when the explosion Immediately took place, and nlueteeu human beings were hurled luto eternity. In speaking or the ac cident the Statesman says: The appearance of the wreck U truly dread Ail.

There was one llttlo Incident connected with this unhappy affair 'that subsequent events have made a romance of. Lieut. Grover bad Just come to Oregon and was at Canemab on his way to Salem when the fearful accident occurred. Of course tho Lieutenant rendered overy assistance possible, and did all that ho could to save the wounded "and drowning, lie saved several, and among them was a baby girl. This was twenty years ano, and only a few months ago Lieut, (how Colonel Grover, led this same infant be had rescured to tho alter and made her his wife. The Journal Is undoubtedly mrsUien about the " baby girl," as HrtleElla, Miller, since become the wife of General Grover, was then about 0 years old. Rock Point Fanners' Clab. The Rock Point Farmers' Club met May 8th, 1975; for the purpose of discussing sheep raising its past, present and future. Mr. Gren street said the question was-of Interest to everyone engaged In sheep hus bandry. When he first engaged' in sheep fanning, he commenced improving by buy ing a fine male sheep of his friend Huntof Beaver Glen; thought he had bred his flock up to a fair average of perfecUottj.-bad tried the Cotswold with only meagre results; they dldfnotBult htm; spoke well of the New CM fordshire, bred by Mr. Wilkins, of Lane county; they were hardy and) had good fleeces;, had tried crossing with the Merino; thought great care necessary when crossing with this breed; must not go ton fast; lilted the American Merino best, but the Imported had the best reputation as to iteeco. He thought we should breed onr long wools-ami Merinos separate, and breed both to per fectionrather than expect tho excellencies of both breeds to be brought about by cross ing tho two breeds together; liked tho sheep business, but bad paid dearly fo: worthless dogs that destroyed his sheep;: some men thought dogs-had more rights then sheep or their owners either. Tho want of laws prop erly enforced against sheep killing dogs was the great drawback to sheep forming;thought wo many time starved our sheep by sam- mA fill...!... tWn atioAn In nlntnf thn lriml? bought starvation tho principal caius of jstarvatiou in sheep; let us go ahead; have lour laws so framed that BLeep owners-will liavo some ohance. Mr. John Downing did notngreo withiMr. Greenetrcet as to crossing v.lth the Marino; thought the fault lay lu not getting a thoroughbred malo to cross with; had -bred to b, Jowjtt & Munbou male Spanish Merino) with good results; hadsoir.B Uno half breeds. Ho argued with Mr. Greeustreet In rord to starvodiiheop breeding disease; pojpo are prone ta overstock; the wool busluss.was so profitable people overdid Jio, thing Mr. 3rooks, like Mr. Downlug,waan sheep man; 2t was tho best busUioss man over fol lowed;; fully believed In tho Moriao breed, but was certain that in fcnall flocko- tho best results are obtained. As to tho naw. disease that vas attracting attention, thought it was povorty or the result cf it; give ilm small lloc2ts and good pasture aud he would risk dlsutso, had noticed thu when th&grass come his sheep had quit dying aud wore all right. In regard to scab, one dipping; In tobaoco cured his effectually. Mr. Putnam had uathad mucb.experience, bat it was bitter; had lost th. past winter cno-fourth his old ones and cue-half of his Lambs; his sheep wore not povorty struck . .. . ., . . Kf j. (,'" """ " - .- remedies for leech without avail; some said grub In tho head; doctored for grub in the head without a-iail. lie thought It was a new disease; his sheep frclhod at the nose aud in the las) stages scoured badly. He thou read an interesting paner in support of his opinions; turpentine seemed the only remedy; give a teaspoonful; the difficulty soo ut Bd to apply it properly: had the best success by making an Incision lengthwise on the outMde and crosswise on the main wind pipe, and Injecting turpentine with a syringe, as in thU way ho wa able to get the turpen iluo on the worms that Infest the windpipe in largo numbers; did not sew up the cut; In nearly overy case it eifectod a cure, aud hail tried It on some that were down and could not get up; was giving his Bheep turpentine onco a week In salt; belloved by saltlug with turpentine during summer he should get rid of the diseaso, whloh was contagious. Tho President said his experience in the main was like Mr. Putnam';turpentine was a remedy; thought starvation was not al ways the cause of disease; believed there was a disease as described by Putman. In regard to curing scab of long standing, by dipping onoe, disagreed with Mr. Brooks; better dip two or three times. He should leave the Waldo Hills when he found sheep raising did not pay; believed the disease spoken of by Putnam was more general than it was supposed to be; was going to cure his sheep; they were not far sale; was not dlkoouraged, but was going right aneaa. Mr. Hunt liked sheep raising; when sheep husbandry tolled him be should ollmb the tallest fir tree and look for better nature, with somo misgivings about any better plaoe than the Waldo .Hills; let us keep smaller flocks, dlvldo our pastures aud sow a mix ture o grasses; sheep must have a ohonge; his sheep bod done well; let us compare notes and go ahead. Mr. Putnam explained that one dose of turpeutlue by the windpipe was suOlciont to effect a cure. The Committee on Centennial reported progress In regard to getting out a tire-place of lava rock or lire brick for the Exhibition at Philadelphia. The committee also reported that they nod secured the services of Mr. John Greenstreet a oompeteut meohanio to take charge fit the work, and also to get out a specimen of the rook for a present to the Smithsonian Insti tute, to be tested by Are, and aum in regard to IU composition. on motloa-Mr. Joseph Bobbins was elect ed a meraberof our Clutn Subject for next meeting: Rctolial, That Marlon county should give three thousv.-l dollars in. aW of a wagon road over th p-s j.V way. of Mount Jeffer son to Black !itte.

This task devolves principally on the growarhimself, In tliematter of pntt Inc up htwool. so that when tt reaches the general market it will at letwt be in a r.Ur merchantable condition.. We have the word oCa gentleman who ba9 dealt in and sbipped Oregon vjool in former seasons to u very considerable extent, that the majority or uie wooi em n. Oregon rilto up their wocMu stwh a way that it makes it worth siveral eeute less per pound) in the general .nlarket than U reasonable wire were taen In shearing mid packing. Not only this, but all lots i,oldlntt.bud, damp or dlity condition help to rmko a lecnrd fcrvthisapIothnt it wll takc.years of careful etttwt to get over. A grcati deal of tho w ool raised in Or egon is handled, as ve are informed, about n follows: The- shearer, after shearinfshis sheep, generally gathers up tho fleese, and with It, either to add to its weight or through carelessness, col lects all Xle dust and dirt within reach, putting In the tag locks or filth that comes fjinn the sheep, rolls it up, mak ing a rr pe, of wool twlaiedifrom the head, irlves it one wrap around the llecce, tucks in tho ond, then thrust it into the sack, and iir.tters himself tuuo tne wooi i leady te bo sold, and taat he has done all that di'ty or his Interc&t requires of lilm. Now this wool, before it is consigned to the manufacturer or oonimission mer chant, has to be taker..from these backs and piossed into bales,, for convenience in shipping. In doing this, three-fourths of it .ll iret loose, tbu fleece falling to pleceD thereby exposing tho dirty condi tion cf tho wool. Peihups one-fourth of it can lie got into tho bale in ileeces. but in tu 'ting It from the Ivalo the other oue fomth. gets loose. Then, we have a very unp.erOBse&siiig article to-show ton buy- -or; the. only way It can be handled Is like u pl.e of hay, with a pitchfork, and we cm iet assured that the (race-chains,,, itic J- (f wood twelve iiwhcs long, and , chi'iiksof dry eaith,..harness, etc., (thati wcre-finuid in one lnfc that was brougjit lie-sOast season,) tcgetlie-r with the tag--lockvand lllth, will all bo on top of the plie. IIS tho Willamette, valley did not pro-, d litjo. the best stnp!o.of any State in the Idipu, mueli of oaarwool would linidly ray the cost of transportation. As It is, it must be sold be'ow. Its actual value, pn tqcount of its condition, when it remhes the general market. Now, there is no Wquc tor this. Tt.costs the wool-grower :io. nioio to liae, his- wool go into .the general market in, good condition, than ii the way that has-been describe1!.! J The proper way. to shear and pick the Iwool so that 11 will bring the best mar ket rates, Is to observe the follovng dl-. Tectioiis: . In the first jlace be sure that t!se sheep. am ltrfe tin Urj oefore shearing. If tho Wool is cllppid when a little damp and. pressed intcuaies neiore it. gew ury, it. goes throufjii a sweat, discolaring the. staple, so it will never bleach out white.. Another tUtig:.-damp wool weighs more than dry, mid a fow pounds shrinkage ir in overy sack disgusts the buyer. Pro vide your&elfi with a clean plreto shear,, a good barn iloor swept peijectly clean, pieferred; caution your shwrers ubeub letting th sheep tear the fleeces; have a table toixven lent to tho sherwers and some good gbued, wool twine; attend to the tying up, of the wool youi&elf. Lapttie ileece on the tabic, cutting. oil' all the. tag locks mul filth; turn in tlu head and tail, and turn in the llauks avnlrollit up,com ineticiug ut the tail eiuV tying il with two strings to keep the soil lu plnee, and then with one suing across the ends. This, is sufficient. A Ueeoo thus tied 1r right, easUy hand lod aud examined nsil can be felt all through. It does not) require rv thorough examination to determine whether there U nuythlug In it that is not wool. Wool put up this way cau be takea from the saok, put in bales, aud taken from the bales and oe in good condition.
