We publish elevhere a letter from Mr. Isatc Hall, of Polk co., who certifies thut he had a wajon oullt of Oregon oak in IMC, nearly twenty years ago, by Messrs. Jeller.-oii and George Davis, of which hc states that the tires were not set for six years, and that tho hind wheels have only just now been re-set the second time, the-wagon having been used for thirteen years without showing any looseness of tires all that time. Of couree this Is a most gratifying evi dence of the good wort done by the buil ders, who also had eucullent timber to use. It has often been asserted that Or egon timber would not answer for wagon building, and each year oiir hardware dealers are importing timber from the Eastern States to supply a fancied want. It is occasionally proven,, however, that some of this timber charged for as brought from the Eastern States, was re ally cut and sawed and seasoned here in Oregon,, and then palmed oft at the high price charged for the imported article, and with such proof as the letter of Mr. Ball furnishes we ought to prepare our home timber thoroughly for use and ba nish the foreign article from. our State. What is needed, and all that is needed, evidently is that our timber should be properly seasoned, and it la a natural supposition, borne out by careful obser vation, that the timber grown iu any country has the peculiar qualifications necessary to withstand the influences of the climate in which it grew. The oak, maple, and ash of Oregon are condemned to ignoble purposes, and every year tens of thousand of cords of as good timber as tlie world produces are burned for fire wood. Thus the natural wealth of our country goes to waste, for at least half of nil this wood could be madu.avallable by manufacturers as valuable timber, and we could' actually export H' to a profit in stead oi importing what is uo better, if it is as food. What is needed in this, connection is capital to prepare it rightly for market. It should be cut at the proper season of the year, sawed, or split l the form best suited to the manufacturer, and never sold until five years aftosor longer still, ifitcminot be thoroughly seasoned in that time. It is demonstrated by the letto we publish that when seasoned our oak aiakes as good timber as can be pro cured iu the world. !S"ow we want to see this, proof followed up by a careful iihiiiii--fucUirc thitt.shall at luistsupply the home deiuund and have the present treat year, ly outlay.

Mrs. Victor has fortunately Hk(.ii,i.il his nvpiitful fxiiprlnnnii n n. 1 reminiscence of frontier and border Iife,as well as of true savagery as ho saw it, and as time .shall pass it will mellow the tints that touched his living history and trans mit to posteilty even a more kindly Impression of him than wo who know him entertain. It is some satisfaction iu bidding farewell to him among the scenes that knew him so well, to reali.ethat ho was a genial companion and that he has done his sharo lu early times to draw tlie eastern and western shores Into fra ternal lclatlon. The West, us he knew It, no longer exists. The Indians he fought in his youth hnvo gono before him, and the civilized man was hardly in keeping with his early training and deep-jilauted characteristics.

PHODUcnoy of wool. Having read s comprehensive article In the Bulletin upca tht production of woe), writ ten by President Jacobs of the Oregon City Manufacturing Company, the impulse was strong to offer-ray testimony, although too much astrangM-to the wool raiders of Oregon ,for my name to-add any strength to sucb an article. j I wish It was la-mv power to convince the wool raisers, and those sUvk breeders who anticipate entering u on this line of agricultural-industry, o?thedifferenln the charac ter of much of tha wool that goes upon tile market as Oregon-wool, now and ten years or more ago; and- at the sa-ne time bring ttwm to a conception of the vaot difference it make to a state fci It wool to be sought In theuiarket for Its intrinsic vniue, or urged upon the market at reduced prioe on account of it uncertain character. I speak with some experience upon this subject, having had the superintendence of, and the purchasing duty for, a-New England' mill, using two thous and pounds per day, for 14 or l&years.whlcfcv was running upoo.a wide ratine of fancy, dress and standard goods, using Oregon, Cal ifornia, Bueuos A7res, Cape of- Good Hop and Australian wool.

Kjr attention wavcalled to this point and the truth of its portion shown me by illus trations by the Chairman of the Committee upon "Raw Material for Manufactured Fab. ric'in the Frencbv Exposition, in 1807, in the citjiof Paris, and a copy of a comprehensive lecture to the French Slock Grcwr, was fur nlshed, which is displaced, or I would copy its language. I) trust, Mr. Editor, your readers will par don tne for urging witb much earnestness the propriety aay, the necessity of so studying our economies that we shall not al low their standard values to be. reduced by attempting to save beyond sound limit.

I do not doubt that so far aa wool is concerned, Mr. Jacobs will join me in urging the value of a constant tUrilt. of the iiock, if wo would have tha wool of wbatevop quality as to fineness, Bound and of full value for felted goods. Ten y tars ago much California wool was. avoided on this account. There was a similar difference be tween the-wool of Buenos. Ayres and that of Australia, as I have referred to between that of Oregoa and California.. The flock-masters of California have made ,.., a wonderful advance la the character of their flocks u Ithin ten years, and are tho past year making most extended purchaser ot Spanish Merino blood from the. East. I am in com inunkMtion with one of tho largest California wool house", who shear over one hundred and twenty-live thousand sheep of their own feeding; who hav been constantly adding to the value or their wool on the market, bv theintusion of thU blood of such quality ami which has such power to tix n typo. One of their late purchases, from Hon. S. I. Orcult, of Cuiumington, Mass . being of a buck for which they pnld fifteen hundred dollars. Mr. Orcutt lurn'sbtis more of this reliable blood, than all others, understanding its valuo so well in his immense purchases of wool for tho Kistern markets. I liavo jut received a letter from Mr. Hammond, ot Vermont, list ed at San Francisco, who writes that he has s)ld to Mr. Orcutt bis entire flock, which has led tho blood so long, aud is engaged in de livering it to Hock masters of the Pacific coast Shall I ask the question, Are Oregon flock masters constantly endeavoring to work up and strengthen their blood, by a liberal In 'usion of that blood which takes the lead in tho market of the mass of the clothing wools. I notice a tow Spanish Merinos are advertised in the Failmkh and other papers, but ought to have fifty where it has one, that the char acter of Oregon wool may command two to three cents a pound abovo the same blood grown in the dry plaius and bills of Califor nia. I must uot weary your readers, Mr. Editor, but I earnestly hope some of your able Industrial Economists will place Iu well defied lights tho immense value of this In terest fo your peculiar soil, whloh, to ray mind has no equal, take ( nil it) all for tills Interest, OnBBRVBn, Heavy Hobbery. The Albanian says that last Friday night some person entered the Clerk's office and effected an entrance to the largo Iron safe, and took therefrom about (3,000 in coin and county orders, placed there for safe keeping by Sheriff Rice, Sunday morning John Uurkhart, Deputy County Clerk, on opening the door of the Sheriff's office found lying on the floor a note addressed to S her 111' Rioe.and which was found to contain the unlooked-for Information that the tin box, which he bad deposited In the Clerk's office, was safely stowed away lu the bushes, about two hun dred yards below this cltr, and containing minute directions for finding It. The Sheriff Immediately Instituted a search for the missing box, which was found in the exact locality described by the burglars, and con tained, besides the papers, etc., about (300 In coin, which the burglars bad evidently left as a slight consolation for our worthy Sheriff.

Is just now the question which requires an answer In this region of country, and the impression Is constancy gaining irrcund'that somebody will have good tlilnjr. Steps are bolnp taken by pnrtlH Intrestsl to s"lv thl pro bletn. There In a large rtnt of mountain ous country on the bead alers of this river, which is ao doubt rich in mineral, (',r hi least ought to bo, fur it Nu'c trond for any thing elc9,)ibut i as yet unprospected. Iron is known to exi't in lar?f quantities, ami oasy of acces. Tbero l uo end of coal, ('u Iside either for that initr,) aud gold has been found in various places along tli streams, but very little effort has been made to ascertain if it can be found in paying quantities. Over tho "divide" to the south, on the Sixes river, considerable gold mining is being done, and those digging are paying reasonably well. The beaoa. mlns, at the mouth of this river are said' to be extensive and several companies as now working them at a profit. But the great coal and lum ber Interests seems to oerahadow every thing else, and I am beginning to think that the greatest riches of our section of country is being overlooked. But thee things will be ascertained in due time, as the valley is rapidly tilllag up with people, and new developments and new en terprises ut being constantly projected and pushed to -completion. Parties are building a large saw and flouring mill a few miles above here, and In connection there will be built a vassel to carry out lumber for the California. trade. A railroad will be commenced this seasoru to connect the river with tho-Bay, and event ually with Roeeburg. Tho Company also. propose to build a saw mill. hero. We have no river steamers yet, but are la daily expectation of one, which parties are to bring from San Franeteco to rnu here. The only boat now doing freighting on this rivr (except scows), is a live ton boat, knovui hero as.au "Armstrong" boat, hoiujr propoll od by a stern wheel, turned by levers, which aro worked by tho tcc uddj of two enter prising and energetic uung men. And it is but just that I should f-ay here that these men ate popular on the river, and richly de servo the reward, whioh. tboy are gaining for thwir Industry, perseverance aud grit. Our town is keeping pace iu the general improvement. Two. houses are already "juilt this season, of a largar and more substantial elass than those heretofore built. Others aro to follow; and whoa our new sawmUl gets into operation, our little village will, grow likoJonau's gourd, without the evaaescent character of that famous vegetable. A sur veyor is now at work layiugolF moro town lots, and we will iave room to "spsuad our selves" equal to our capacity; and our citi zens wear smiling laces iu view of the bright ness of the outlook of tho future. M. Not So. Suiuo little while ayo wo had a communication from Mount Pleasant, Linn county, giving a protended accouutof tho disappearance or a ouug lady who was trav eling from that place to Fox Prairie, and the finding of some clothes buried ou the shores or a creek. A gentleman from tbore Informs us that it was a sell gotten up for mischlof, with this much fact, that some shoo aud la dy's garments, that had been thrown away, were found, aud such a story was gotten up for sport, and some Joker widened the joke by writing out and seuding it to us.
