Teller cultivate the old Hamilton farm auroas the river In 1'olk oounty, which ha been tilled luoeaaautly for nt. many years. Some of this laud wm supposed to be Impaired by continual usage, and ha gave It a thorough Summer fallow aud deeper jilowlnn last year with axeellent results. We learu that dfteen acre of this has already Linen cut aud threshed yielding thirty-six bushels to the acre, which is a very substan tial report te he made tor worn-out, red-hill Knd. The value of thorough cultivation t'lin be showu ou etery hand aud the time h.u come when farmers all ought to strive tor it. Imputation ok Hlooihu. Shki:i. - Lawrence A Peet, of California, who adver-, Used that they would bring Merino pure bloods to this valley last spring, did not go beyond Portland with their stock, but seud lie word that they have arrived at Portland with another lot of M head thoroughbred Spanish Merinos, and will be In Salem In a few days. They hope to bene fit our State by the excelleuco of their lm jKirUtlons. The Stute J man learns that tho small. iox U iu the family of Mr. Mayboll tineeii miles Houtboeast of Orrgou City. ADVA.MACKS Of OUKGO.V. The present yenr furnishes n most fa vorable Illustration of the great nnd su perior advantages this State oilers for reliable fanning. All over the State the harvest Is most propitious nnd the yield abundant, except where the planters put in wheat so late in the spring that they had no right to expect a full yletd. Mr. Kdwnrd 9- linker, who is traveling in all the Pacific States nnd Territories on business, assures us that the Willamette valley prevents a striking contrast to ait the other countries he has sern. Califor nia has only a partial crop;: the whole coast region Hears no comparison to the valleys of Oregon, where no drought is ever known and harvests ars'Unfailing. He freely compares our Stats; for soli, climate, and productions, witfi any in the Union, and gives Oregon the palm for excellence. This is a regioo'especial- ly blessed, where general healtflds above the average; where no failure' of har vests is ever known ; where no-devastating s'.ornis ever do injury, ami where sudden floods seldom come; here 'no In sect piugue spoils the yield of either fruit or cereals; all nature seems-to com bine to bless tho efforts of the ..husband man and unlimited' resources yet remain to- invite development. The year to come promises net only abundant har vests hut rich remuneration, because the lehe) favored wheat producing eouatries of tliold world have-lacking harvests and are-certain to bid largely for th- abun dance we have to opare. Astoria aad Portland. When the Portland Board off Trade sends fortli Us proclamation to tho ship owner of the wcrtd not to send large vc-oels to Oregon, and' declares that freight Is worth S1125 per ton at Hortland more than at Astoria, it acts entirely in the interest of Portland and nob for the Stare of Oregon. Vessels of large ton nag loaded successfully at Astoria last yeuo and lighterage from Portland down was- had at reasonable rates, say 75 cents to id per ton. It is certain that large ships can load earsaoes at less yrlce per ton. than small vassels can, therefore it Is for the intere.'t of Oregon to have hinge vessels com to the Colutu&ia river, It BiaKes no difference to the producers of our State whether the prosperity of Aittorla or of Portland is benaflted, but tlwy will bittenly resent ani action of either place that is against their own interest. Overland Emigration to Iregon. Sir. "Wm. Beid, of Portia-ad, Oregon, has received letter from. Richard K. Kandolpli, of Topeka, Kuhes, Commis sioner of lOnCgratlon for Oaegou in that State, wlto slates tlint already over one hundred wagons have passed tit rough, that place bound overland for Oregon from Misf-oitri, Texas, Arkansas, North, Carolina, and Kansas. Tlie.se come with their own teams and have many droves of cattle. He says next year this over land emigration will be immense,, as large i-ompauics are forming in Uioe States, who have beon in correspondence with him, and also in Wiscoilsin and Miiitie-ota, with a view to go to Oregon or Washington nest spring. Also twen ty-seven families are preparing to emi grate to Otegon from Texas. He places the overland emigration to the Pacific next year at not less than iiO.lXK) persons. The Missing Mall Sack. Tt seems that last October a mail sack reached tho Portland post oitlee from the upper country that contained one regis tered package of gold dust valued at $J,niM, nnd several other registered pack ages that increased tho total value to $;i,000. The mall suck disappeared and never was heard from, and the publica tion of tlie fact at this late day calls nut an itiYC'Jtigatoii, which shows tlint all efforts heretofore made to discover the fate of the missing treasure have been abortive. Suspicion points to no public oftlcial us connected with the robbery, ami the ollleers of the postal department do not indicate that any others are sus pected. It is not known whether the mall-bag ever left the Portland office or was mado away with while in possession of tlmt oftlee. Wigwam and Warpath. Mr. George Meacham shows us the pros pectus of Ills father's book, with the above title, which Is tut published at the Kast. It coutalns a rehearsal t.f Mr. Meacham'a entire experience iu connection with the various Indian tribes of Oregon, the war with the Modoca tutluir iriveu in the oonoludlnir chau. ..... v caunot lud of th emi iHv,k frow ,,, proap,0tU4 MoTtt u., bu, it .pp,, to be written with freshness aud vigor, and as it abounds with incidents and consists of plcturings of Indian life and history, it teems well calculated to suit the taste of many eas tern readers and command a large circula tion there. It will be read on this coast be cause readers here will be anxious to know the views of so prominent an actor, ou this subject. The State Teachers' Institute will be held iu Salem ou tho 1st, 2d, and 3d of next September, WILLAMETTE FARlvfER. Astoria. Astoria lias grown greatly, a friend In forms up, so that within the past year it has doubled Its population. A great amount of business connected with lum bering, the fisheries, and other com merce of our State naturally centers at Astoria, and it commences a growth that will undoubtedly continue and in crease aud never diminieh. It is true that for the present it cannot realize its ambition to be the shipping: point of Or egon, but even that will cone in time, for that is the statural destiny of some ttown at the moudi of the Columbia riv sr, and Nature's laws aro imrautable. The New Farmtm' Wharf at Salem. We were Informed! last week thai the pit's ccttld not be driven for the new wharf to be billt in connection with the Farmers' Ware- hosse in this city. If seems that the river bei at that point is composed of a bard grav elly comment that ordinary wood' piling oouid not penetrate. Having discovered this the eompany bad iron shoes made far the piles and the difficulty was then easilj over come. We witnessed t!ie successful driving of them and by the ttmo this number reaches our readers the work ofiirlying the founda tion will undoubtedly be finished. The wharf is contracted to be completed vJ&hln a month from this dat and when in' use will srove an important .feature In the sotu mere of Salem. Self-Binder aril Reaper. Waallude elsewhere to. the Gordon 3ef- BiudiBg Harvester, which: Mr. A. De Cosmos is exhibiting in oar State with a view to sell ing State or county rights. This machine conMsts of a Marsh harvester with the bind er attached and has dono-eaoelleut work on the ittrm of Mr. Cherh-s Swesle. Mr. James Tatom, of Polk county, went to wk nes its operation Tuesday and shows no-a bun j of wheat bound' b-y the machine. With this machine, and at an expense of about 5 cents per acre for-wlre, a pair of good hortxe can cut and bind tea or twelve acres-a day, saving the expense of lour or five man actiag as binders. The value of the invention- to farmers must be- manifest without further comment. Parmen Warehcuwat Salem. TOia excellent wareho-jse is receiving tika tiDLShlng work this wools, and Mr. Herren IoAmios us that he wilii be prepared to ra cerve wheat for sterage aext week. All the machinery Is being rabidly put in plaje. The boiler and engine have been tested, and W3rk well; the elevates are about ready; the cleaning and weighing works, which are ry complete, will saon be all right, and tile whole ready for business. The two lae 8Irators will each alean S00 bushels of wheat an hour, and an ordinary load of wheat can be cleaned and weighed as seon as unloaded. Tne stoekholders of this com pany can safely coutpoatulate themselves- on having one of the mest perfectly constructed an well as capacious warehouses in the State, with capacity to holiat least 160,000 bushels of wheat, and most eligibly located. Albany Our sistor city up tho valley Is inkinp rapid strides towards greatness this season. We travelled to Portland the other day with Mr. Davo Fro man, who Is building a new bilck block In Albany, aud being unable to obtain seasouod flooring was going below after it, where be purchased his snppiy. He says the demand tor lumber to supply the building In his city is very great, and teams, steamers, and trains are heading towards Albany loaded with building material. There are not only many private residences goiug up there for aotual oocupents, but the business portion of the town baa stores and warehouses In process of construction. The additional water power is sure to add greatly to the importance of Albany. Ukatii of U. H. Cahtwriout. The re mains of Mr. D. B. Uartwrlght of Snislaw received burial in this city last Friday, ac cording to the ritual of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry of which he was a prominent member. His health has been failing for ome tlmo and his decease could not have come unexpected to his family. Mr, Cart wright was a man of character and enter prise and well known through this valley, tie was an old settler, identified with our State from early days. One by one the list of pioneers decreases as death claims his tlthiug from mortality. As our friends and brothers disappear behind the portals of the unknown we can only confide them with an infinite trust to the Almighty Father, and with hearts tempered by the presence of the d tead destroyer yield our tribute of aileoUou with words of kindnesa for both the depart ed and the bereaved. Plummkh Krhit Dkvkb. When at Port laud last week we visited the fruit Dryer In process of construction, ou the east side, near the ferry. Mr. Plummer has all the ma chinery ou hand, and it Is fast approaohlug completion. He Is confident of commence ing work next week aud will then show all interested what his maohine can do. The agent of the Aideu Company can then have an opportunity to commence proeedlngs to prove his right la infringee upon. The pains taken to combat the Plummer machine by the Alden Company shows that they are at least terribly alarmed, which la quite singu lar in view of oft repeated assurances that the Plummer machine "la practically worth lews." Fruit growers can soon Judge for themselves. What all want to know la how to dry fruit for market In the beat manner and t the least expense. Items from Scio. A young friend, ' P. B ," wrlllu .from Sclo, says tho hay crip iu tliit vicinity wit- generally good, thouali noniewhat injured by the excessive beat In Jul v. The bridge across the Tluims- Kork at ! is completed, and docs cih'H' the lnilll-r Messrs. V. Coff, and M. 1111 H ' great benefit to the citizens of the Folks. Two of the Solo traders cam imo such close competition that a n-illlslon mcurrHd. in wbfch one used his flits nnd the other made better use of a stone. A yonng man named Albert Starr, who lived 7 or S miles south of Solo, was kicked by a horse July U, and died on Sunday the 17th, after intense suffering from Internal In juries reeelved. J. R. Crabtree, son of James A. Crabtree, and onr cerrospondent were bathing in the river on the 18th, and young Crabtree came near drowning In a deep ho; being unable to swim, iak to the bottom and become un conscious, and was f Htuuaceiy saved by bis father who ohanced to be nearby and pluug ed to his rsscne. Many parties have gone from that p rt of the country to the mountains, the most of them to Fish- Lake, after tUb and berries, and many report the heat so excessive as to spoil the enjoyment. Others enjoying them selves hugely. Most of the fall grain is ready to- cut and spring grain: is ripening fast- Some late sowed wheat and oats doesn't pnomlse well. Aa our correspondent's letter was received too late for publication this weeuwe compile the foregoing items from It. Wool Grading and PacTtttaj. We snggest as a most important measure in connection with wool raising In Oregon, that some effort should be made to have the wool product of our State carefully graded and well packed-and distinctively put upon the market as Oregon wool, That would give our State a. character and th producer, knowlug bis wool would be this graded and go to the world- with his name upon It, would take pains to secure excellence. Mr. Sey mour has no snore wool to pack tfals year than last aud grading is not though of. At the same time wool growers have aombtnnd to sell their cMp in larger bulk, bur they tailed to put it- in the most nienobantable shape to secure-the best price. It the sixty thousand pounds of wool sold by the Grange agent In this county had been graded and packed in best shape it would hane goue to the world In better form it would probably have insured a. better price than Iu, the loose and crude coadition in which !i left the sheep's back. Warehouse! at Turner and XaBbnon. We learn from Mr, Jacob Conner that the two warehouses at Jefferson, baildlng by the Mill company aud the fanners, respect ively, and also the farmers warehouse at Turner, in this county, aro delayed some what by failure to receive luoiter, but that all will probably be In conditiou'to receive wheat by the first of September at furthest. The warehouse at Turner and also that of Mr. McKinnsy at that place, bave each re celved a BKrnham turbine wheel from tho factory at York, Pa. which wSl soon be in place. Tho farmers warehouse at Jt Her sou will uso stsaui power. Thuro has been this year an unprecedented demand for lumber, so that all the mills have ben run to their utmost aad have found it impossible to sup ply orders as fast as desired. Ready to Receive Wheat. The Salem Storing and Shlppiug Company will be prepared next Monday, Angust i'th, to receive and store grain from all parties oSering, aud Mr. Herren, agent for the Company, Informs us they will also buy and sell on commission. Work on the Statk Capitol. We learu from Mr. Henry Stapleton, Chairman of the State Capitol Commissioners, that the brick work ou the Capitol will be completed by the first of September, by which time the structure will be two-thirds under roof. Con tracts for tho entire work will be let so that the same cau be carried on during the fall audwintorfor the portlous required to be tiuutied for the use of the State by the next meeting of the Legislature. Tj:u:orai'U iortuk Lowkr Columhia. Mr. Lamb, the indefatigable local Superin tendent of the Western Union Telegraph Company, has been examining the river shore down along the Columbia with the view of ascertaining the practicability of putting up a branch telegraph line from Kalama to Astoria. He reports everything favorable bo far. The Salem Woolen Mills are purchasing wosl and preparing to manufacture steadily for the year to come. The present ownerm, Messrs. Miller and Griswoid, will pay their personal attention to the business. Marshall J. Kinney, of the Salem Flour ing Mills Company, la now on his return from Liverpool, where he has been for. some tfme past attending to the business of the Company. Mr. Pond, across the river in Polk county, while trying to smoke out some hornets from bis well, burned the curb and windlass and caused his well to cave In, but he destroyed the hornets. Dikd.
