Tho movements of great capitalists arc significant, for thoy indicato in what direction money naturally turns for development. Just at proaent thero ii a movement in moneyed ciroloa that indicates that capital interests itself in tho future of the Columbia River region. Wo read that the Northern Pacific Railroad Company hi commenced work with vigor and that construction at this end of tho 1 line is to bo pushed forward. We also leam that capitalists who aro indentified with tho Union raciuo Railroad aro pushing towards .1 tho Columbia River a branch of that road that is ultimately to find its way to Port ' land. The same interest, apparently, lias had for sotno time, control, or at leait a heavy iatcrcst in our valley railroads and in the Oregon Steamship Company, and when ho was horo lately, Mr. Villatd, who is ono of tho capitalists referred to la said to havo inado n cortract for tho purchase of Ml tho effects, pr rtics and transportation lines of tho Orcf "'lam Navigation Company. This give. ( -v.. an immonso interest in tho Pacific Northwest. Appearances justify tho belief that theso capitalists aro working with n viow to operating a through lino from New lork to the Pacific, independent of tho Central Pacifio of California. To givu this whou constructed, remunerative transorta tiou, they will havo to do all In their jiowcr to build up tho commerce ot tho Northwest Coast and mako it independent of Sau Fran cisco. Thcso matters tend to crcato an in dependent commorco of our own aud bring to our ports tlio sailing vessels that can carry nwnyuur products. .' Another fact that confirms tlio irtcrcst taken in our affairs by tho Union Pacifio capitalize is tho jealousy manifested by the managers of tlio Central Pacific, the great California rival ot tho Northern Pacific whoro interest!) aru nt tirctcnt identical but threaten to diverge. J toco nt news comes to tlio effect that n steamer lino is immediately to ba put on this routo in opposition to tho parent line, Tho Urcat Republic won nominally owned by P. It. Vornw.il!, but tho impression prevails that alio west uctually tho property of tlio Central Pacifio manager, and wo can eofcly oasumo thnt tlio tamo parties aro preparing to put on tho promised opposition. Tlio two great companies havo maintained this rivalry on tlio oco.tu over since Mr. Villard became conuoctcd v.itli Oregon enterprises. It is presumnblo that tho Central Pacifio people liavo inaintaincil tho ocean opposition for ycara ost and intend to establish it again, for tlio reason that thoy wisti to prevent their supposed rh.ils from making any profit out ot their Oregon ventures, and bo ablo eventually to construct and own Oregon railroads to suit themselves. Tho steamships havo been a great sourco of profit in years past, but of course opposition prevents any rcliablo income from that source. Hut tho point we wish to mako is that those corporation and capitalists aro not striving without an object. Par-seeing inn havo discovered n niino of wealth in tho futuro ot Oregon and Washington, and are disposed to spend their millions to tako advantage of the promise ol our future. If tho Central lias intentions to compete for Oregon traffic its managers will construct the Winnemucca branch to Portland, as wa havo before intimated. All tho signs indicato a progres siva and prosperous future for this region. When railroad construction actively com mences we shall fbd many benefits from it. Money will be plentiful and labor 2nd steady employment. Whatever benefits ono por tion of the country aids all of it in measure. If our country attracts capital to this extent wo may look confidently forward to the time when railroad connection will be accomplished and immigration made easier and cheaper. Tho vast interior has capabili ties that arc not fairly estimated. Kven tho ago brush plains have wonderful fertility, and now that tho uplands of tho Upper Columbia aro proved to bo capable of produc ing wheat to tho best advantage we may look for tke sage plains to bo also redeemed. At present tho teudency of emigration is towards the east, but the Willamette Valley cannot bo long neglected, aud in tho course of events it roust bo ono of tho garden spots of the world, and a favorito region arcoag the most favored of the Pacific Coast. IUvittsoK Bros, are good photographers. CROP PROSPECTS. With somo exceptions tho outlook for crops through tho Willamotto valley is good, and East of tho mountains it could not well bo improved. Through French Prairie, along tho railroad, thcro is much Hat land, and here tho impression is that tho yield will bo poor and tho area in cultivation is small compared with what would bo tho case if tho weather had been favorablo in April and May. Home of thcso farmers aro sowing wheat in Juno, as wo hear, and Hon. Enoch Hoult, of liar risburg, informs us that farmors in Linn county prairies aro actually sowing winter wheat, with tho old idoa of sowing in June to harvest another year. This was practiced considerably somo years ago, but wo havo not heard that it provod often satisfactory. The pasturage that will be nfibrdod next fall is a great consideration, of course, and if tho wheat is well kopt down by pasturing, and docs not grow too rank next year, it might be, in somo respects, more useful than summer fallow. Other parts of French Pralrio, away from the railroads, aro less flat, and wo hear that crop prospects aro good thero. Mr. Hoult says the outlook for tho southern portion of Cahpooia creek, he considers excellont, and in all other parts of tho county, whilo somo will bo losers, tho crop will average well. Lano county gives promiso ot great returns. Marion county, except a portion of French Prairio, will yiolil remarkably well, nnd on tho west sido of tho river, whero tho land is mostly rolling, tho prospect could hardly bo improved. A farmer from Lano county called on ui n few days ago, nnd spoko of tho fact that much ground was too foul to cultivate and inon were cropping in ft way to ruin their farms. It requires very littlo scienco or stnso to determino that a farmer cannot thrivo without ho does good work. Poor work in any branch of labor or business, never yet paid thoworkmau. It is itranga that farmers will not leant this. AH good farmers havo learned it, but all men de not practice what thoy know. Tho times aro Jaat uhcu a farmer can jnako money without goon management. Even Oregon hes at lntl como down to the piano of common humanity, and work nnd busincts must bo conducted hero on proper principles to secure success. Wo speak from experience, in good part, and liava paid well forit. When wo tall; ot crop prospects wo rocoguizo that slovenly farming pulls down tho nvcragu yield of wheat nt least IIto bushels to tho aero below i hat wo could rvalizo in this .State with only reason able attention to our own nnd every other ono s exporiencc. Tlio wealth of tho Statu is in tho coll, chiefly, nnd when wowasto that wo destroy our capital and leava uo in heritance for our children. FROM LEBANON, LINN COUNTY. Mr. David Smith writes us from Lebanon s "Wo are about douo seeding here, and all grain looks fino that was sown early this spring. Tho fall sown does not look ro well, ns thcro has been too much raiu. I am trying to mako up a club for your papor; am going to tho Linn County Council to-morrow and shall work for it thero. Wo, as (Jrongcrs, should all tako tho Faimiku, an it is our paper aud devoted to our interests. Wo should write for it aud furnish our ex perience to make it interesting to each other, and more useful by so doing, as wo can thus hear from all parts of tho State, with littlo trouble." Mr. Smith touchos a good joint when ho says that by communicating facts through tho Farmkji, our friends can keep posted about all matters of interest through the State. There are continually matters of interest to farmers that would be valuable to tho publio if thus made public. Apple Treo Blight- Fox Valley, Linn Co., June 7, 1879. Editor Willamette Farmert My orchard has been iiitcd with the bUgh tor spot. I will describe it. The leaves turn black, crisp up and fall off. Soma trees shed nearly all their leaves in this way, others near by aro not so bad. The yonng apples turn black one side, crisp and drop off. Some of tho leaves are half black and dry whilo the other half of tho leaf is green. Tho yonng apples that still remain on the tree are similarly affected, ono side dead while tho other sido is green and growing. I liavo exominod my trees closely and can't find any insect or lice, aa described by Mr, II. C. Shattuck in the Fabxer of May 30tb. My orchard is now twenty-two years old. This is tho first blight I have ever seen on apple trees. Will somo fruit grower please explain through the Farmer, and oblige, A, D. Oabdxcu.

Editor Willamette Fanner; The writer of this, accompanied by live others, Messrs. DenJ. hull, William Dull, Oecrge W, Carey, M. T. Stevens and George W. Drown, paid a visit to tho Cheney Creek Cave one day lost week for tho purpose of ex ploring it This cave is situated in Josephine County, near Wilderville, and near tha loft branch ot Cheney Creek nofl Cherry Creek and was first discovered, strange as it may appear, some thirteen years ago by Charles Gregory. It is found in a mountain of pure limestone of great value. The entrance to the cave is marked by a prominent cliff of limestone rock, which rises almost to a perpendicular height of thirty or forty feet. It is thought that this cave penetrates the mountain to a great distance. Our party ex plored it to a supposed distance of 300 feet or more, on the main course, at tlio oud of which was discovered another largo room more beautiful than anything we bad yet teen, the opening being so small as to not permit us entering it. A few hours' labor, however, with proper tools, wculd forcoan entrance. Wo also discorired on tho main course what seemed to us to bo another cav ern, somo 20 feet below us. A number of side apartments ero also explored, in oue of which were found the bones of an animal of tho beaver species, also the remains of what was supposed to have been a species of large fish. Much more might be written descriptive of this cave, of its brilliant stalactites, its cry. tal founts, Its fretted halls and its marble liko floors, but timo and spaco wilt not per mit an extended description. I can say this much, howovcr, that it is really a wonderful cave, though perhaps not so magnificent or grand as was Aladin's fabulous cavom of an tiquity, or tho enchanted grotto of Antiporas. Yet thero is much: to interest or excito tho curiosity of ovon tha most fastidious. Having spent a good part ot tho day in and about the cave, we took our loavo of it and climbed up tho mountain side for a short dis tance abovo to catch a viow of the surround ing scenery, which was both lovoly and grand, and thon retraced our steps home ward, well pleased with our day's adventure. S. A, Bonooon. A Question. Editor WilbuW.te Famleri In whai occupation did tho first pioneers to this Stat , engage? Was it fanning or mining? Please answer through the Wil- LAMSTTR FARJIkR. 0. W. J. Ckom. Reports from various parte of tho county represent tho grain crop as promising a greater yield, per acre, and a much larger acrcago than is usual. Fall sown wheat is especially abundant and forward, aud should tha weather proro propitious, harvest will como on muolr earlier than usual, Tlio pros, poet ot tho fruit crop is not very encouraging, owing principally to tho unpreccdontod rains of tho past month, and to tho very cool weather which has prevailod during that time. Small fruits, such as chorrios, plums, etc., aro badly damaged, whilo poaches aro almost a total failure; apples are not doing woll, and tlio crop will probably be much lighter than usual.

BEAVERTOH ORANGE. Beaveiitox, Or., Juno 7, 1879. Editor Willamotto Farmer: In rcsponso to your request for information of matters pertaining to tho doings of tho Grange, I send you an account of a mooting at our hall Juno 7th, ot mora than usual interest. According to previous arrangement mads at tho County Council somo timo sinco it was docided to hold fraternal and social meeting alternately at tho different Grango Halls in tha county. On this occasion tho following Granges wero represented by a fair attendance ot tho intelligent and working members! Uillsboro, West Union, and Farm Ington Oranges. Tho Grango was called to order at 11 o'clock A. M., when tha following was tarn of the business of importance trans, aotodt Programme for tho Orange Fair to bo held some Urn this fall was adopted, Fair to hold two days. All am invited to attend and place articles on exhibition and competo for premiums. On motion T. Tucker, J. D. Wilmot and Mary L. Wilmot wero appointed delegates to attend the Pomona District Grango to bo held at Oswego, tha third Friday in Juno. Dinner hour having arrived all assombled around a long and well filled tablo in tho basomont of tho hall. To say that tho dinner was good would not fully express it; it should havo been scon and partaken of to lo fully ap predated. In tho afternoon tho exorcises woro conducted under tho hood of "Good of tho Order" and provod quite interesting. Impromptu speeches wore mado by a number of brothors. Robert Imbrie of West Union Grango, said thoy bad a good number ot members) who were determined to stand by tha Grango.

Editor Willamette Farmer: In tho last Faiimih I noticed an editorial beaded "Tho Cheapest Harvester," in re view ot Mr. Dan Claik. The last grain that I had bound cost ir.o 91.00 per acre for binding, aud 2-1 ocnU pr acre for shocking. The straw was from throj to seven feet loog, tho wheat yielding 30 bushels per aero, tha oats 50. It took four days to thresh it out of tho stack with a ton-horso Pitts Throsher, the amount being about CO acres. Tho next year 1 ilvlivtreil tho grain off of the tamo ground to an eight-homo thresher, which did tho work in three ilayn, not having a bushel on tliu ground, at ft lost of $12.50 per day, tho wheat averaging 3Ci bushels ix.r aero. I did this with an old header. Now which was the cheapest? It always costs more to thresh heavy grain out of tha stack than to cut and deliver it to tho thresher with a header. Hut when grain yields but five to fifteen bushels per acre, tho seala turns tho other way. J. 1. Taviih. Dm. Ksxw consults bis patiuntsin regard to catarrh froe.

Tills old house is selling tho Duckeyo Mower and Reaper, which is just now fully in tho fashion.

In connection with this ma chino they havo tho Canton Pitts Horso Power, and tlio Gear Scott & Co.'s threshing engines, a portable engine that has no super lor. They also soil tho Elwood Harvester, as they havo for years past, and its reputa tion is also established to their advantago by its oxtensivo ueo among west coast farmers.
