Thinking thus and knowing this, should not homo he matle attractive ? JIow else can it remain a beloved tra dition and a tender tie through all a weary pilgrimage? maintain its heart How else can it supremacy and serve as a shrine which- children's foot will love to visit as a relief frcm the cares that are sura- to- oppress the fu ture? AVhen travelling through portions of California one can notice wide and-'bare 'tretches of land sowed to grainy and in the midst of tha waving fields will stand a rough rauch. building, which alone informs you that there are resi dents of the soil. It is not possible to call such a place a home, and the rea son often Is that whoever tills the- soil works for the present only, to make what can be made, and without any intention to create a- home- where- his own life shall be spent and his children grow up around a family hearthstone. The settlement of Oregon has a much more permnnent character,, and no doubt the same is true of many portions of California, als-o. Hera the settler gcnerallyjseek.-, a home, and his object should be to. indeed, maka one. It requires years-of labor tO'tic-eumulate the means wherewith tubulld and fur nish a house ofi modern dimensions, but it requires inly a pleasant ' hour's work now and then to surround the humble cabin with beautiful shade trees that will grow as the y?iir pas and hecomc- -surroundings of beauty to tempt the eye-and allure tho fancy of the traveller, anil form an attraction that shall livo-afier wetire gauc-, to re mind tho-e who coine after u that wo have not livvd In vain. I'lnnt the Oregon mnptof, and the mountain ash, or introduce- the grace ful elm autl sweet scented UcuMt to tho alto of you homes and they will make them more home-like. The cottage may be simple and unpretending, but the trees that shadow- it will boas lord ly as thoee plautod anil fostered by tho hand of wealth. Art may shut her dear wrought dewrs against the poor, but the hand of nature foster. nil alikn and shows no favor to the rich man's foliage. That which is truly beautiful tempers and civilize-, that which it adorns. A love of the beautiful is necessary to true happiness and the cultivation of the beautiful elevates and improves the mind. Therefore all homes should bo beautiful to bo attractive, and beau ty exists in nature so plentifully that thevcanbe made beautiful if we only will it so, and make a duty as well as pleasure of the cultivation which tin-, ture invites 1 tii time that the farming regions of our .State should show more uniform culture and refinement. In many parts of the Willamette valley nnd oth er sections the features of an old set tled country are apparent. There are many beautiful homes, made so by nat ural growth and adornment, and the beauty of such should serve as an in elucemont for all to lay the foundation for such attractions. It seems to us that this subject could be ell-cussed to advantage in all the farmers' clubs and granges of our State. Wiguara and Wur-1'uth. Hy the courtesy of the author and publishers wo have been furnished with a copy of Hon. A. H. Mencham's work with the above title. It is a bul ky volume, handsomely bound, writ ton In the earnest and rather enthu-l-astic style of tho well-know'n uuthor, aud contains a resume of tho experi ence of that gentleman in connection with Indian atl.tlrs for many years, and pecially narrate- facts aud Incielents that were cotuiLcted with his admlni ' remarkable experience as Peace Com missioner during the tragic period of of the Modoc war. The work Ik em bellished with many engravings and is calculated to peculiarly Interest the reading public of tho Eastern States, but It must also be of interest to Oregon readers, as it pertains especially to In cident and history connected with our day nml locality.

If the statements-made ure reliable, of whichtwo see no. occasion! to-enton-tain doubt, the route acro-s the Cas cade mountain?) by the north fork of tho Sanliam, commonly known as the Minto Pass, is the-best at the present time known for the-location ofia. wag roael and stock trail) Not liiilj- so- but in the mountains on that rem to is found a considerable extent of land that would be available for settlement if thatroad'wns mr.de pas-able.-. Anathor fact of importance- is that this route will connect tha- Snntiaiu region or Linn and' M'uribn- countief,. anvil tho whole territory west of that region, by an easily practicable route, with the rich glaring fields of Ea.starn Oregon, and so will prove of great public beiw tlt. All the existing roads- aeros 4he Cascado rango-tu-e very diOicwit to trav el, being a constant ucer.r anil element of mountain spurs that ua.-t lieco-ari-ly bo crossed-to make progiess. This is trao of tlw- Harlow mutu, also true of the Lobsiion road andthe two which crosrt the mountains from Kugeno, though alrj these ror.i are of great public utility and benefit tho sections they accornodate. If it is trno that the Minto pass can beconstnicted, bridged anel made en tirely practicable for ?oO,000, as was es timated by Prof. Powell, who carefully calculated tho expense as he traversed tho route ef the proposed road, and also true that tho route is better than all others, then there should be no de lay in securing its construction. Tho city of Salem is directly interes ted in its construction, and Albany will havo direct connection with the road at about equal distance, so the two counties of Linn and Mariou anel the western counties of Polk anil Benton, nre all deeply interested In the open ing of the new route. Albany already "has a road via Lebanon which this will intersect east of the mountains, and that dty cannot bo expected to in vest as liberally in the enterprise. Marion county and Salem, and the whole district lying in tho forks of the Santiam in loth Marion and Linn counties, should take hold of the mat ter, and the people of Ochoco would help. It strikes us that tho city of Salem is deeply and directly Interested in securing trade from Knstern Oregon and can well afford to invest liberally in what mu'-t bring this " bonanza" to its doors. It is estimated that about $:l,00 will sutllce to cut out a stock trail through the new pass and so prove of great utility to both Kastern and Western Oiegon, as stock Is being coutsaJpr driven in each direction. Make me reiuto ptihsablo by a trail and so demon strate its value and tho mail route lo cated between Winneniucca and Salem via Black Buttos will bo put into operation, and as a natural result the construction of a wagon road will fol low. Wo submit these facte for the consid eration eif all who nitty bo interested, and though the road may seem at first view of only local importance, all thinking minds must concede that tho whole State has more or less interest In what may developo into a route by which at some futuro day a railway may enter this valley from the East. Max Culture In Oregou. Mr. Akin, who Is working up the ouo hundred acaes of (lax raised near Jef ferson In this county by Messrs. Chas. Miller anel Jesse Parrlsh, Informs u? t'.mt they will havo saved all tho seed tho present week and have already rotted (5,000 bundles, being one-third of the ntite crop.

The Boarel of State Lauds Commissioners-, have lately had uneior consideration tho application ef Captain L. X.

After due consideration the decision arriveel at is that, saiel islnnd does not conic within the purview of the act of Con gress of March 12th, 1-S!i0, which grant ed swamp and overflowed lands to the State, but that it belongs to the State of Oregon by right of eminent domain, aud tLnt no law of the State legislation, has beeu passed to authorize tlits Board to sell it to any person. Pulton's Six-Fold llorse-roNcr. Eo. F.imi:u: Fin the hit two dnys we have had in operation one ol Mr. Polton's Six-Fold Horse-Powers on a. Pitts Separator. The men using it Jthe roost of them experienced threshers) having ustd the Pitt and other horse powers, agree that they can run this horse-power with six horses auildomore and belter work than they could do with ten horses on tho Pitt power with the same separator. For myself, having had some experience in mechanics, I think it tho most complete and best-powr I ever saw for threshing. It is indued a com pact, 'complete machine, almost entirely noiseless when in operation, and is sa perfectly constructed it looks suuleiently strong to run from ten to fifteen or tweu. ty years without a break, and for thin it should reccommend itself to c-vory farm er who wants a power for farm purposes, In view of the almost constant liability of other powers giving way, causing a great loss of time when most neeeled. I have no doubt that this power is all Mr. Peltou reeeommentls it to be in his circular. I am heartily glad that Mr. Peltou thinks of manufacturing his powers here, anil ulso his Separator, as he In forms me. J. L. P.vitKisir. Suleni, Sept. 10th, 1875. TItc 7Iult.lcutloii of D!i-ac.
