Into the causea of agricultural depression and
how far they wero treated by, or aro rcrnedl
ablo by legislation. The matter caused n
great deal of trouble All sides agreed that
n great canso of depression wns American
competition, Chaplin in his opening speech
said ho regarded freo trndo as a question
definitely settled; but ho could not shut his
eyes to tho falluro of many of the predictions
of advocates of free trade. Ho did not pro
f oso n remedy now, but only asked for in
quiry. Ho pointed out that tho future fato
t f Uritish agriculture was dedendent upon
Iho cost of production in America. If tho
cost of importation fell below tho cost of pro
duction at homo, the ruin of Uritish agricul
ture wns not far distant. Liberals such ns
Vrnssoy, MacDuffand Duff blamed tho Urit
ish land system nnd gnmo laws for depres
sion. Their arguments were summed up In
n speech by Ilright, who warned land owners
that tho competition of the United States
would go on increasing and tho ouly way of
meeting it wm to get rid of stupid and mis
chiavous legislation regulating tho tenure
nnd transfer of land. Macovcr i.nd lien

Should the rain continue tho hay crop will

Inconsequence oi tue weatner and llgnt sup

ling per quarter iu n majority of tho cnuutry

it has been difficult to establish any advance
of home-grow u in Loudon iu tho face nf lib
i rat arrival aud low prices of foreigu vn
littles. Pretlous rates, however, havo been
well supported, especially tor choice parcels,
uud the tendency is rather toward nu ad
vance thau a lifeline. Large foreign arrivals
have not caused a scarcity of granary room,
as n largu portion has gone direct to millers
who bought freely to arrive, transactions on
spot having lately beeu conllued to the retail
wants of small millers.
Maize has varied little, but is rather agaiust
sellers. Arrivals at ports of call have been
small. OI coast wheat was firm, at slightly
improviug prices, particularly towards the

A good business was done iu the forward

Tho Outlook,
Farmers nro nt present preparing or
busily engaged in making hny whilo tho
sun shines, nnd by tho timo this is com
plotcu the wheat harvest will bo upon
them, when harvest hands will bo in
demnnd and good wages paid. It was
feared that tho continued cold weather
noticcablu during tho Spring of thu year
would provo injmious to tho gram crops,
inasmuch uh thu heads would not gemr-
ally fill out suflicicntly, but tho Into
pleasant sunshine has dispelled that idea,
and iib tho acreago is iiiojo extensive and
tho crops in many instances bettor, the
yield for 1879 will bo tho largest ever
harvested in Oregon.

Tho Indian War Whoop.

A dispatch received from Seattlo last
night says that ShcrifT Wvkoffnnd det
uticB returned to that placo at 8 o'cloct,
after having pursued tho band of
Indians who havo bcon raising Cain Jf
lato at Laughton's landing, when they
abandoned their horses and took to the
woods. Tho Indian reported to havo
been wounded last evening turns out to
bo Jim, son of old Kitsap, tho celebrated
Yakima chief, who was tho nrimo cause
of the war of '55-0, nnd who was subse
quently killed. Kitsan countv in this
Territory is named after him. It op-
pears that ho was not idiot by Russian
Charley, as first stated, but by Constable
Mills, who nxchanged firo with the
Indians on Saturday evenine. shooting
Jim throuch tho arm and side. The
Indian belongs to tho samo party who
robbed a man last year on Snoqualmie
road of blankets and money. They are
evidently making for Ynkiuin.
