7 VOL. XIII. tytmcyomct(. UNH COUNTY FAIR. EDITORIAL CnRKESI'ONDENCK. Albany, Sept. 28, 1831. The Linn County Fair vas advertised 'to commence on Tuesday and end Saturday, thus occupying five days; and desiring to get better acquainted with Linn county people, and also to do justice to their praiseworthy . effort to hold a County Fair, as well as to have some mention of it in the Farm En the present week, I camo up on the evening train Tuesday and found accommedations at tho Revere House, that the proprietor, Mr.Kieffer, hail kindly saved for my use, though his rooms were all in demand, I did not find the town excited over the event, or the hospitality of tho Albany landlords taxed to tike care of thegiusts from abroad. When Wednesday morning came there was no din and clatter through Btrects, of impatient hack drivers urging the world to emigrats to tho Fair Grounds, which are a mile and a half away, but whan breakfast was well over und the fog of the early morning had melted oil the frost, myself and friend found a conveyance tnd reached the grounds in good season. The grounds and track are situated souhteast from town, an easy drive of fifteen minutes, and when reached we found that the Fair was in no hnrry to get under headway, but was waiting for entries to be completed, and the liberal terms of the Society permit entries until Wednesday evening, so there was a sort of natural chaos all around. Wagons weio arriving all day, dispnrsing articles for entry, all departments were unfinished, without entries t ct made, so that tho state of affairs could not be determined from the books. Of course no one was to be blamed for this state of things. I had simply arrived a day too soon for my own convenience, so I have done the best I could under the circumstances to get an idea of what is on exhibit. But here I will make a suggestion to the association, that if they expect people to come from any distance, an inducement might be held out by having the exhibit days limited to two, and by having entries all made tho day previous, for which purposo experienced and swift clerks could bn get, to make an easy days work of entering all objects and articles to be exhibited. That will be more satisfactory to the public I am certain. Say entries made Wednesday, the exhibit to bo held Thursday and Friday, and all go home Saturday. There is such a fault as "too much of a good thing" you know. HORSES. Arriving on the grounds, tho first man I met was VVrn. Townsend, of Salem, who was there with some excellent draft horse stock, and he kmdly offered his assistance to look after the horses, so we commenced w ith his own stable. Townsend shows his bay mare Dolly, 11 years old, and her family consisting of Brigham Young, 3 years old, an iron grey stallion 6i hands high, weighs 1,700 pounds, Percheron stock, as ho was sired by White Prince; Hoodlum, an iron grey, 2 years old stallion, weighs 1,200, is from Louis Napole on, also Percheron ; Hancock, light gray stallion colt, 1 year old out of Wide Awake, a Percheron horse; also Nazro, a suckling colt; making a family of horses of which Mr. Townsend may well be proud. Dolly aud her interesting family deserve more special men tion, Brigham Young is as good a grade Per cheron, w e venture to believe, as can lie found. Dnring seven years Mr. T. has bred this mare, raiting seven horse colts that have sold for $400 and $500 each, and putting a fair value on her family yet unsold, she has earned him $3,300 inside of eig'.it years. His bay mare Fanny, 12 years old of equal ly good qualities, has a suckling colt by her side barn March 2S that weighs 700 pounds at six months old. He also shows Nelly Grey, a light grey filly, one year old past, out of Wide Awake, a three quarter Percheron, that weighs 1,300 pound, wjiich looks like a large story, but she is truly a large filly. Dolly, a light grey mare, 5 years old, is mother of this prodigious filly, and is a remarkably good animal, weighs 1,600 pounds. Mr. Townsend is a natural horseman and has a genuine affec tion for his stock, which it is a pleasure to see them all reciprocate by fi iendly caresses be stowed in response to his care. Mr. John Sawyer, of Amity, is here with Belmont Jake, a 9 year old bay stallion, of Clydesdale and Belmont cross, which will compete in the class of draft animals. He also has some good trotting stock. E. M. Dudley, from Soap Creek, Benton county, has a light grey stallion, taken ii,'lit off a horse power, he says, that ho c IN Soip Creek Chief, from White Prime. b a Moig.n mare. He also shows a pair f ot1 road iters, and the sorrel uiare Ju.i.Ui t-ierul tlie grey stallion) with a fine suckling colt by her side. W. M. Kyal, of Benton, shows a 2 year old brown stallion colt seven-eighths Per- chsronj also a mere one-half Percheron with seven-eighths Percheron colt by her side. Guion Gibson, of Aumsvillc, shows a sorrel mare, Mary, with horse colt by her side that is of Percheron stock out of Edmonson's Wide Awake, a colt that will be hard to beat anywhere in Oregon, weight about COO lbs. O. P. Taylor.of Aumsville, enters a sorrel mare with a good Wide Awake colt. Y. J. Kilinouson, of Waldo Hills, Marian county, has two mares, with suckling colts from his Percheron stallion Wide Awake, and taking the colts of Townsend, Gibson, Taylor and his own, he will compete for a family prize, and it will be stranco if he dots net win it. Trotting stock is also . ell represented. Johu Sawyer, of Amity, shows Billy Keed, a sorrel stallion, 4 years old; and Johnny Lee same color and age, the latter of which is said to bo enough of a flyer to incline the other owners of trotting stock to bo a little afraid of him. Geo. McKnight, of Albany, shows Edward Kverett, a bay stallion. Geo. Simpson, of Albany, shows Kitty Linn, a hay mare. Frank Wood, of Albany, a brown marc, Lady Nell. Dr. Harris, of Albany, a chestnut mare, Betty. G. M. Cofl'ey, Albany, a bay stallion, Gen eral. John Worth, of Halscy, brown stallion, Sacramento Boy. Franklin Knight, of Albany, Lusby,abro-n mare. The show of diaft horse s'ock is certainly good, but the question comes iu: Where aro all the Linn county work horses ? Trotters are out in some force and make a ereditable showing. Thoroughbreds I have not had time to work up. CATTLE. Mr. A. S. Powell shows a Halstein cow and a yearling and suekliug calf from here by a Jersey bull, and appearances justify the be lief that the cross is a good ono. Mr. Powell is interested in dairy stock and in solving an important problem. We were ratlur sur prised to know that there were no other ex hibitors in this class. SWINE. Quite a number of pens were filled with rjally good swine, chiefly Berkshircs, but we were unable to get particulars, and can only say the showing was large and creditable. WIEEl'. The sheep pens were not numerously filled, but the showing was excellent as far as it went. Thomas Frohman, of Albany, makes a good show of American Merino bucks; ewe and buck and two lambs; a French Merino buck and five lambs; ewe two years old and ditto one year old. C. P. Burkliart, of Albany, shows several pens of. French Merinos, including two year old bucks and five lambs; one buck lamb, two year old ewes, one ewe lamb. His sheep are evidently bred with care, but we wonder, as we see the empty peps: What has become of all the rest of our sheep-growers ? D. M. Guthrie, of Dallas, Polk county, who is never far out of the way, has entered tw o New Bedford bucks, which will be here to morrow, and their fleeces are on exhibit in the Pavilion, one of them weighing 17 pounds, the other not far behind, and the quality of wool superb. THE PAVILION. There was a rapid filling up of the pavilion during the day, and I pronounce the display very creditable, even though not nearly what Linn county could, do if it tried. Potatoes are here in prodigious force, and it is said that the potato crop is unusually good aud large in this country. Vegetables of various kinds, including corn, are here of huge dimensions. Squashcsand pumpkins, onions, beets, carrots, etc. Fruits are ingrcat perfection, of all Fall varieties. Wonderful apples, good looking peaches, quinces, pears, etc., while the dis play of melons is appetizing. There are good showings of dried fruits, also, jsllies, preserves and pickles, grain in sacks, honey that you look at aud wonder to gee cells two inches lone. The display of flowers furnished by Mrs. Uackcnttoand other ladies, add much to the appearance of things, and all along the north wall arc, arrayei the myriad of articles, fearfully and won.leifull.t made, that the ladies denomiuati "luiicj work."

SliKRlliAN, Or., Sept. 18, 1881. Editor Willamette Farmer: This is Sunday and thinking of nothing better to do, I will send yon a few items from this section cf country, which is four mile North of Sheridan. Harvesting is about two thirds done, but owing to the heavy rainfall of yesterd iy and last night it will be delayed several days. Tho wheat crop is better than lost year and the acreage larger, and we will have a larger surplus for export than ever be fore. We will hold for the favorite pi ico of SI, or even more. Tho oat crop is extra fino, and never before was the like of garden "boss" known in these Bed Hills. Tho wheat arounil here will average about 20 bushels tortile acre. Tho crop vas mostly spring sowed grain. We read a great many articles in the Farmer about crops not turning out as good as was expected, but they don't tell the rea son. I know, and every fanner knows, that it was no fault of tho soil or season, but sim ply bad farming. In the first place last sea son was a rather dry Summer, and those eum-mer-fallowB did not grow much wild oatB out of the ground; and in the second place, last Winter was a warm, wet one, and ,tho prts ent season has had plenty of showers; the consequence is i-uch farmers have more wild oats than wheat. Hoping the Farmer will reach our fire side every Saturday night, I re main, A Red Hili.ian. WHEAT, AND THE OUTLOOK-NO. 3. Forest GnovKL Or., Sept. 22, 1881. Editor Willamette Farmer: "" If there be any one thing more than another that connects itself with every material inter est upon this Northwest Coast, it is a Panama or Isthmus ship canal. It underlies, overtops, overlips, outweighs, and outineasurrs all other helps or advantages conceivable. Without it, iiothwithstauding the tivo lines of trans-continental railroads already assured, w hose value I would not in tho least underrate, we must remain in a greit uieasiiro isolated, sepcrated and distant, to the great national metropolis, New York, and the vast commerce and trade that find their natural center within her am ple means and facilities. We cannot conceive of a single mau upon this western slope, but would be materially benefitted by such a work. It would send its "mystic cords" to every bushel of wheat, pound of wool, side of bieon, box of fruit, foot of lumber, dozen of eggs, pound of butter, box of cheese, or can of fish. It would touch every band of horses, drove of cattle, flock of sheep, or herd of swine. To every mine of mineral, acre of tillable land, tree upon the mountains, every steamship, vessel or railroad car, every mill stone, trip hammer, plincror factory spindle, it would give an exhilcrating force and move ment by the completion of such a work. Wheat, that should have ranged a wide margin here, above one dollar per bushel for the last month, could not be forced down to 80 cents with bucIi a work in operation. The swindling now going on under the thin guise of lack of t'nnage could uot then exist. Thus uu have i glimpse at the things we produce and have for sale on this western slope. Let us now cast a glance upon what wc have to buy. From a bunch of matches up to the largest ocean steamer could then be bought at a corresponding advantage. But to the farmer it comes home with greater force than to any other single line of business, for the reason that most of his products must find a market beyond the seas. It should occur to every one that the farmer has no voice in fixing the price of any of his products when it goes be yond his own farm to be sold. He can no more set the price upon a dozen of eggs, a bushel of wheat or railway ticket to tho near est station, than he can set the time for the changes of the moon, or the rising and setting of the sun. Under this inexorable law of trade he must submit, and could do so cheer fully were the legitimate laws of trade allow ed to work out their results unfettered. But alas! Hern's the trouble. With no lack of capital, the bulls aud the bears set to work and ecaU prices down, to buy, and up to sell, and with the help of the pool men and the tonnage men they carry prn.es fur the pro ducers down to zeni, and to the coli.uiuers Up to 100 il greet in tbu ibado To tne.e qmstioiis we unlet ihlre oureltc wit.i an ciriie.tiieniu.il letermnutiuii that will ku w no defeat. ."U.lt, " mtsoiie, 'what uni we do ' Ktvryt nig.

I.. previous paper, Congress would reauily re spond to such a call were the matter fully represented to them, as Congress would have nothing to lose, while this coast and the gov ernment would have everything to fain. The vast railroad interest near us could not afford to be indifferent to such a work, as each in the main would have a sepcrate line of busi ness, and both would supplement each other. I have seen nothing iu the papers of late con cerning Capt. Eads' ship railroad, but if his enterprise proves a reasonable substitute for a ship cJiial, (and ho says it is) why not ex tend to him the congressional aid he asks for its completion! Is it not time such a work was accomplished? How long would it take the A'hcat interest with its rapidly increasing product to pay for such a work with tlu por tion of each bushel it is now cheated out of! History informs us that tho Spaniards in 1328 agitated tho subject of a ship canal across lie Isthmus of Durin, w hich was at or near the time of the discovery of the Pacific ocean. Over five hundred and fifty years have smeu passed. How much longer must it slumber W. L. Curtis. GENERAL NOTES. Weston Lnultr: B. F. King, fiom 2SI nous of wheat, trot an average of 4.1 bushels of beautiful wheat. John Kirk had an average of 45 bushels in 00 acres of Fall wheat, and of 30 bushels in 214 acres of Spring and Voluii tecr w heat. That is good. Salem SlolMumi: There was on exhibition in front of Paul Obciheim's bakery, u large aud healthy looking tobacco plant, raised on the farm of Paul and John Konco, near Urowu'a L.la.n.1 u tu rtv.rt It is ftaitl to make tiist class smoking tobacco. This proves that tobacco can even he raised in Marion county. Pataha Npirit: In the region of Littlo Ken tucky river it is so extremely dry that fanners are disposing of their stock at very low fig ures. Ono farmer who has 1,300 acres of laud has not raised enough to feed his stock. Fine blooded sheep go for 80 cents per head; cows are going dry, and in some neighborhoods the people have to walk a iniln to get water. Fall City (Oreuon City) : Tho onion crop in this county has lieen stricken by blight this year. On the farms of Mr. John Zumwalt, of Pleasant Hill, Mr, Cumining, of Middlcton, Mr. J. K. C Thompson, of Tualatin, and, we learn, Mr. L. A. Starkweather, near Milwau kie, and several others, the tops of the onions have died down before they came to maturity. There is noticeable a fungus growth upon them, and a minute insect may be found which seems to feed on the stalks. Salem fittttrnwaiir Seventeen acres of wheat on tho farm of J. W. Ncsmith, at Derrv, I'olk county, yielded on an average Mi bushels to the acre. This is the largest ) ield that we have heard of this year the Willamette valley. Who can beat it? Wo would like to hear from any one who has had a better yield than the one above referred to. And itisreport ed on good authority that if the sage of La Cre ole had not stopped his plow to answer "Bill Wutkiuds," that his whole crop would have averaged fully as well. Mr. Thos. Gilmore arrived in town one day last week, says The Dalles Time, fr. in Mon ument, in tira.it county. From him we learn that the fanners all along tho road are har vesting one of the largest crops of grain that has been harvested for a number of years past. The principal industry in his section is stock raising, and he sajs cattle of all kinds are in splendid condition. Last Wiu'er thin ned the herds considerably, ami this lias made the price better this year. Mr. Gilmore had several fine antlers of deer with him, for one of which ho will accept our thanks. Mr. W. P. Walker, during the week, brought into The Dalles Timet illice a a;k full of as nice cars of corn as we have seen irrowii in this country anywhere, These came from the ranch of J. 1'. Walker and brothers, beyond the Deschutes, on bunch grass land, which has been considered worthless except for grazing. Some of the ears measured fully a foot in length, and the kernel were lurge and full. Mr. Walker thinks that if such corn can be raised ou'our hills without irrigation, farming the uplands of Eastern Oregon is no longer an experiment. The decrease in the number of sheep in Wasco county since the lout yearly tuuuisii.cut numbers 161, 158 head; cattle, 10,255 head; horses, 1,705 head, A great proportion of this Iocs of stock can be accounted for beui j driv en to an Eastern market, but many cattle, horses and sheep wcro killed by the icvciu Lather last Winter. Notwi hsUndiug this t-n-ajie, the assessable property this year will approximate somewhere in the neighbor hood of three and a quarter million dollars, in comparison with twenty-eight hundred thou sand last year.

'Three miles away is the McFarlaud saw null, now operated by Osborn & Weaver. It supplies the whole of this Alder Creek country, and sends consider- ablo lumber over to Oregon. Tho prices of lumber at tho mill aro 510 per thousand for fencing, $12 CO for common wido lumber, SIS for second class and $22 for first class rustic and flooring. Baker County lltel'tlc: Last week a friend brought us a sack of products consisting of a few B.utlett pears, egg plums, largo onions, weighing nearly one and a half pounds each ami a largo radish--which compute in size and quality to any wc havo ever seen. Theso came from the ranch of Jack Low, which is situated about 4J miles west of Baker City, and is hill land. In addition to this, Mr. Lew has raised during tho past Summer 1 ,343 bushels of grain and ."i0 tons of hay from his forty-aero tract of land. Theso facts aro not given for tho pur pose of aiding Mr. L. in selling lii3 land, as ho won't sell, but for tho purpose of showing what our land will do. Washington Territo ry will have to get up beforo day to beat it. Ilakcr County Herirlle: There is no t Oregon or Washington Territory, which, a cording to its sio and population, is growing faster than Pendleton, iu Umatilla county. Eveiybody is busy. Tho hotels, and res taurants, and boarding houses are all full sometimes overflowing. Tho hotels now aro among the best. The town is growing both up and down the river. Business of all kinds is thriving. Nor is this prosperity ephemeral. It is mainly due to auriculturo. Within tho last three or fouryears it has been ascertained that tho bunch grass lands on the hills West of Pendleton pioducctho cereals iu great ahun dance. And the consequence is that many of tho citizens of Pendleton havo taken up lands and are now reaping great harvests, some of them producing forty and fifty bushels to the acre. Walla Walla Wutrhman: Our farmers watch tho wheat mai ket as they would a mule's hind leg, and we don't blame them. It needs watching, yet oiui may watch the wholo year round and then miss it. During the week several sales have been made at 00 cents per bushel, but the real price, justified by foreign quotations, is about T7 cents heie. However, tako all you can get, and if you can afl'oid to hold on, do so, for we now have reason to be- lievo that wheat will be as good as gold beforo another haivest. It's true, a man can't bo well a wheat raiser and a wheat speculator, too, but it never hints, to use discretion, and iu most cos.es it is better to sell wheat at a easonable price, than to borrow money at uiiiensonahlo rates. A hint to the wise is suf ficient. Nez Perce AVicit; For tho first time iu tho history of Northern Idaho it may bo said tint we hae this year a surplus of wheat for ex portation. In the language of tho poet, "we raise all wo cat, and more, to." In short, we aie not only a self-sutalning community, but we are now in a position to enter tho innkets of tho world aud compete for the honor uf till ing foreign granenes. For a country so young and so new as Northern Idaho, this is a re markable exhibit, and when we take into con sideration the fact that but a fraction of our agricultural lands are cultivated that we have here the largest scope of unsettled soil in the United States we may well bo pardoned for reiterating the fact that Noithern Idaho is the best country in tho world, and that Its fu ture is already tinged with the golden rays of dawning prosperity. Palouse Ontfllr: The track of tho Northern Pacific is now completed to Lake Piescott, 20 miles West of Lake Pen d'Oieille, 218 miles from Wallula, and daily trains run regularly to Ialo Proscott. The grade is completed ten milts further, and a large force is at woik on a trestle, 2,200 feet long and liC fict high ill some places. The trestle requires 7iO,000 feet of lumber. It will bo finished within two wuoxs, Pile driving for the bridge over the head of Pen d'Orcille Lake is being pushed, and it will be crosseil by December 1st, Tho liiidehauncl piles aro 1 10 feet long and 2 feet in diameter. Four pile iliiiuis ie at work. The line is located sixty miles beyond the lake, and grading will be vigorously urged until Spring. The company has only 1)00 men, and were never able to get any more during the ecasoii. If 2,000 able-Uxli d men, what ever their lace or color, will uppl.si n t'u can get employment for the i.l. I.

In some portions of the coun ty the yield is fully up to the average of for mer years; in other portions wheat has fallen ni Li ! mi 0 i1 i I' .-- 'y, where the average will fall short of 25 bushels per acre. Oats and barley, as usual, have turned out well. Tho Watchman mentions soma heavy yields in Walla Walla county as follows: "Mr. Edwards, a very rcliablo farm er, makes affidavit under oath that ho har vested and threshed from thirty acres of land 2,108 bushels of 'tlieat being a fraction over 70 bushels to tho aero. Jos. Hall, on Pataha flat, threshed over .",000 bushels of wheat from eighty acres; this is a littlo-over 62J bushels to the acre. A foity-acre field in the tamo locality yielded over 2,000 bushels. Many othois make similar glowing reports." Union County lteeonl: Everything gives promise of this being tho best fair over held o: tho Union County Fair ground. Tho offi cers of tho association havo secured the ser vices of John Crainbitt as superintendent of the pavilion, and Mr. Crambilt will put it in order in advaneo of tho fair. A new floor has been laid, and everything done and being done to make the pavilion comfortable and atti act ive. All it needs now is that tho ladies come outaud lil tho buildint? with their handiwoik. Thornc'rng will probably ho the best ever wit nessed on the Noith Pacific coast, as four of tho fabtest horses that ever met on our shores ernio- - t it.

In the fifty-mile raco there are four entries, and each rider is provided with ten good hoi ses. The men aud horses nro so well matched that betting is about oven. In oui next wo will try and give names of men and horses in each of tho principle races. Baker County lterhlle; Tho road between Prairio City, in Grant county, ond Baker City, is ono of the best wo over traveled over. 'There are a few places whoru the ascent and descent is somewhat abrupt; hut, taken as a whole, it is a splendid mountain road. There is ouo place which is being much improved by l'arki r St. Co. ; anil when completed m planned it will bo i grcatNiinprovcmcnt on the old route. Wo talked with several merchants and businessmen in Canyon City and Prairie City, and they all said that when the railro.nl shall bo finished between Baker City and Umatilla Landing, they will order their goods shipped to Baker City. Of course, they will if govern ed by sound business principles, The road between Tho Dalles and Canyon City is two hundred miles long. Besides, somo of the hills are very long, and steep, and rough. One hill or mountain we should say is over five miles long. Wo allude to that which loads down to tho toll gato on John Day river. Whereas the road between Baker and Canyon Cities -as we havo already said- is a good mountain road and only ninety-live miles long. Our business men should piepaie themselves for the good time coming in tho uearfutuio. MIDDLE COLD BPRINO. M. S. Leo writes the Wralun Lmder; "Times are lively in the Cold Spring country, tho roads are lined with teams hauling wheat to tho landing. Thcru urn two platforms at our station, one owned by Saling k Heese, of your city, and under the management of their agent, J. Henr) Brown, tho others owned by Geo. I).

What with the trains thundering along the track and occasional steamers on tho broad Colum bia makes ono think of home and civilization. It is no uncommon thing to see trains of 30 and 10 cars. Ohe, one of our teamsters, watched ono of these intently tho other day for a minute, then said, 'great Jehu, ain't that feller iot a craekiu' leader,' Necessity is the mother of invention tln-y say, we have found that struw spiead on the sandy roads will mako them solid when they aro otherwise almost impassible.
