WILLAMETTE FARMER: PORTLAND, OREGON. SEPTEMBER Dr.r.irLTiNv editor, A. I.. Orty, of Ibe Athnny nemoeraf, Com' mil rorgerj anil Aliirnnds llh over i:t.ooo. In Septembsr of last year there came to this State from the Kast a young man of fine personal appearance, plausablo manners anil pleading address, who gave his, name as A. L. Grey, bringing with him a young wife. He located in Albany and soon ingratiated him self in the favor of the citizens. HoprofesseJ to have wealthy connections in the Kast ami expressed a desire to engage in business in Al bany, stating that the necessary capital would bo furnished him by his relatives. On tne 1st of April last, when the lato M. V. liroun retired from tho management of tho Demo crat, Gtcy formed a partnership with C. II Stewart in the management of that paper and they also carried on a real estate, loan and in surance business. Timo passed and Grey pro- fcsscil to be constantly expecting to receive tlio necessary lunils 1 1 cnaulo him to purchase a half interest in the Democrat, but no money came. Un Thursday, August '.loth, tie came to this city with the avowed purpose of ob taining a sum of money which he said was owing to him by someono here, and witu which he tironocil navini; the first install ment due Sir. Stewart for his intcrmtiu the Democrat, and nothing has been heard of him since. Fears wcro entertained that ho hail beeu foully dealt with, but on inquiry it was found that he had forged the name of John Turner (a prosperous farmer living about ten miles from town, who acted aa agent for the first National JJank of this city, and through whom Stewart& Grey received money to loin) to a check for$l,700, and obtained the money from Mr. Connor, banker in Albany. He had also drawn SI, 080 deposited in the bank in the name of the firm, and which was to have been loaned to a customer ns soon as tho nec essary arrancementi could bo effected. The lltraht says! Several ot our storekeepers are also said tu be heavy losers to a greater or leser degree, ho having ubtair.cd extensive ciedit wherever ho could do so, until Rome of them had already shut down on him. The blow is a heavy one to Mr. Stewart, who is loser to the amount ol tl,.)0U cash, which will luivo to bo matin good; but we hope he will be able tn pull" through. The absconder leaves a vvifo and babe in this city, en tirely provided for, wu believe. Mrs. Grey will liavi tho heart-felt sympathy of the com munity in this trouble which has so unexpect edly come upon her. It is reported hero that ho was married to his wifo in Minnesota iindu thu name of North, and that ho told her he must change his iiauic as he was "wanted" in Mexico, and accordingly on arriving here as sumed the namo of Grey. He is evidently a most consummate scoundrel and we hope soon to hear of his arrist. Hie Mnlla Wnll.i Mlirnt 4'rop. Four hundred tons of wheat are now carriid daily from Walla Walla, says the Journal, to The Dalles. This is the present capacity of the rolling stock of tho O. R. &. N. Co. Jtut a month, ago the ollici-r in the freight depart ment laughed at thu suggestion that there mi"ht be a blockadu hero this Fall. As in another week thero will bo delivered at the! depot nt least a bushel and a half to our bushel now, thero is a pretty fair prospect Of aonu thing of an accumulation a b'ockade that might last a month. It is estimated hy hiisii.ess men in our city, with whom we have talked, that seventy-five to pite.iiniIc,it 1'QUv sand tons of wheat will reach The Dalles frdfn the farming country, tributary to that point, tliis (.eason. We have taken the lower esti mate as a ba.su and made some figures which will, perhaps, be found interesting to our readers. Seventy-five thoinand tons of wheat aro eiiial to 2,KOO,000 bushels. We use the long ton measure, or 2,210 lbs. This wheat at .Vi cents per bushel will distribute 1,10,000 among the fanners of our country. The last milliner ol 1niyirm Hm'AY gives tho average yield of wheat in tlio lied Kiver valley at 2!t bushels. In Manito'ia, 28 bus!i els; Illinois, 17; Iowa, 10; Wisconsin less than 10; Kansas, 10; Texas, 8. If this country averages 21! bushels to the acre whtcli wu consiiicr ratiiir too low an estimate -70,000 toes would indicate that thero had been 121,7:1'.' acres in wheat this season. The railroad company will receive as freight on this wheat about $072, 000 -delivered ill Poit lind. To carry oil" this crop, a train :il miles would bu reiiuired. This estimate does not include the space that would bo occupied by locomotives and fuel cars mcesiary to such a train. It wdl taku 1,202,:I08 ba-s to this wheat. They will cost at ten coi ts cao'i, $l20,2:t() 80. These bags, when tilled, if placed luig'hwise, ono touenlng thu other, would reach Il3 milts It will taku fiO.OOO two-horse wagon loads (tiguiing It tnus to a load) to deliver it at the depot, nuking a wa gon train of ISOJ miles, provided the loads and tianis bo kept so closely together as to touch, If this wagon train vva going tn Levy. iston and luck, wagon number ono would have been there and ictiirneil tn W.

A viord s to price: The farmers in tlie neighborhood of W.ilia Walh will, at Tm cents per bushel, receive 1,5 cents mote than last season; at Davtou, ,'!0 cents inou; at Waits burg, 2.1 cents nioie. In Walla Walla tlm increase in price is partly nwuiL'tothu in creased price in Knrope; 4 cents of it owin" to better quality of wheat; ti cents of it arises from a reduction ot tl cents a bushel on freight stncii last season.

Jack Powers was brought before Justice l'etruiti at 10 A. M. yesterday for a preliminary exa nination on a charge of having killed Hen Cornelius on the Fourth of July. Tho first witness examined was Kev. Johnson McCor mack, of Astoria, who testified that on the evening of July -Ith he whs sitting in front of the r.sinonil hotel in tins city, when his atten tion was attracted by hearing a large man on the opposite side of tho street saying "God d- n you, have you said you'd shoot me?" or wouls to-that cti'ect. at the same time strikim a smaller man and forcing him back, which was repeated about three or four times, when the smaller man fired a pistol three times, ap parently from a low position, und the large mail fell, and as he was falling he tired a pistol whereupon the small man tell as if he were dead and lay a short time when ho got up and rushed toward the large man who had been carried to the sidewalk, and he thought struck him. Did not recognize Powers; do not know cither of the men; did not euo the parties come together, but thev were nearly opposite him and near thu other side of the street. Kdward Post was in his place of business at 14(1 Front street on the evening of the Fourth of July; heard a noise on the street; went to the door; saw a large man step olf the side walk nearly opposite, and after taking about three steps turned and reached toward a smaller man saying "God d n you, you'll shoot me, will you?" This was repeated when there was what ho supposed to be a pistol shot, but as there were so many lire ciacKcrs gouiL' oil' at the time hu could hardly distinguish between them and a pistol; recog nized tho man speaking by Ids voice tube Item f I I'., i el. i.nV-. mX!mi. sit Mm -m. fcL fruta walk when Cornelius turned; saw bdli men fall; there were two or three shots fired be fore tho men fell but eould not tell by whom they wero fired; saw no pistol ill tho hands of either.

Tho com t then took a recess until 1 :H0 r. si. The afternoon ression was held at the police court, as alb riling better accommodation for the large number of eptctatnrs present.

A Srun-.tT jok A Khi'ouvt School. A lad thirteen years of age, named Martin Keil, was arraigned in Justice Davis' court yesterday on a charge of using inlecent 1 mgiuge to some ladies and cluldicii, and vvas sent need to u tine of $10 or to be imprisoned in tho county jail for tiv days. Ho said his father and mother resided at AsUria, ami that for going out hunting and staying two weeks they had turned him oir. He came to this city some six Weeks since and has since that time been working for Mr. Hichards, a milkman. A day or Uo sinco he quarrelled with tome ot the neighbors and used some very linproiwr language with the above result. The little fellow cried bitterly when his sentence was announced. It is to be feared that but little good will result to him fiom his imprisonment with such a crowd as is at present confiiied iu our county jail, and the probability is ho will come out worse than he went in, Such cases as this demonstrate the great need t' at exists fur a reform school.

A VERY HTRAKGE GEK1E8, The Person Mho Allempteet tc Carry On! Cirrelcj'a Theory nrCominunlsru. From tlm MuVaukaa Evening Wisconsin A strange and curiously interesting character passed through this city Satur day evening in tho person of Warren Chase, who is on his way to the National Spiritual Convention, now being held nt Chaututtqua Lake, New York. In eai ly years Mr. Chase was ono of the most widely known men not only in this vicin ity, but in the Northwost. He settled iu Southport now Kenosha forty-four years ago. Jlo also resided in Milwau kee in tho longngo, when? ho was known as a muu of tho most weird ana gro tesque genius. In 1811 he became one tho founders of tho Wisconsin Phalanx, a congregation of men and woman who had all things in common except children, and who settled at what is now Itit.on, Wis., to carry out the idea of commun ity of interests as then advocated by Fourrier unci Horace Greeley. Tho large, old, balconied-house, erected by the society in the centre ot a wide piazza, is still standing in Itipon, though much decayed. This Fourriente organization, as it was called, was a financial sttci-essi, and would have been alive today, doubt less, if peculilar social notions haJ not crept into its piactical uianagment. Marren Chase was then tho king of the Fourrierites, and fell in with thosa pecul iar notions which dcstioyed the organi zation. Among tho living members of that curious society in addition to Mr. Chase, are Sterling I', Rounds of Chicago, of who will probably be tho next Govern icent printer; ex-Senator Hiram S. Towne, now Postmaster at Itipon, John Irving, ono of' the ollicerf of the Wiscon sin State Prison; the wifo of Howard M. Ivtitchen, editor of the bond I)u Luc Commonwealth, and a few others not generally known to tho pubic. Among the dead members uro numbered Louis P. Harvey, Ebcnezer Clnldsand several others who wero distinguished men in the state and nation. Mr. Chase was a member of both con stitutional conventions of Wisconsin ; a member of tho first state sennto ; candi date for governor on the Free Soil ticket of 1850 and a delegate to tho national convention of 1852. In 1852 ho left tho stato ; afterward was a delegate to tho national convention from Wisconsin, and on tho sixty-seventh anniversary of his birth, on Jan. 5, 1880, took his seat for tlireii years as a member of the sen ate of California, from Santa Barbara. Mr. Chase was the author of one of tho strangest books ever iu print. Jt was called "Tho Lifo-Line of tho l.uno One'1 the title meaning to him what was generally nccoptetl as a fact, tint lm never had a rather or a mother. All tho old settlers of Milwaukee und the State, who probably thought tlitit strangest of all strange geniuses wits, dead, will reini'tiiber at once what is hern recalled of Warren Chase, a muu still engaged, as ho has for forty year, in public life, publishing a newspaper, forming now parties and working social reforms. Itio Damaoks. Wo understand, says tho Maker City Itereille, that our towns-nan, Dan Smith, has been sued by the government for 310,000.
