Cnronirlc According to the roinrt of the .Territorial Auditor, Colum bia county ranks third m ussessab'e property. Last vcir Columbia was abniit half a million alien! of King, but the latter lb now MS3 in advance. The plain truth of the matter Is tint a full and complete assessment would have pi iced Cilumbia ueootid jn rank with several hundred thousand as a margin. Thu names of wealthy citizens of the county who have paid taxes here for years arc for some reason omitted in the last assessment. Two turnips weuhing respcctiicly 27 and 274 pounds are on exhibition at tho Dayton (VV T.) pos'ofiice. They are of the variety known as the white ruta-bagi, and were iais ed by John A. McKnight near that place. He raised two tons on one fourth of an acre of ground. One hundred of these turnips aggre gated 1000 pounds. They aro said to be ex cellent feed for bto-k. The people of the thriving little town of North 1'ow.ler, says the lieiirock Democrat, of llakcr City, are not lacking in en crpuse. They had no school in this vicinity; according ly they circulated a subscription paper ther. by Boon receiving sulficient funds to build a eubstantiaV school house, 24x30, with 12-foot walls. The building wis erecte 1 on a half block of ground, donated for school purposes by James Welch. The citizens intend giving a dance on the 9th prox , the entire proceeds to be devoted to procuring desks and a stove. The price of tickets is very low, an I as the object is so praiseworthy there will be a good turnout. A good teacher will be needed, too, whom the citizen will pay a fair salary.

Farmers have been again speed ing the plow, and this time they are makins some better progress, quite a quautity of Winter fallow being now plowed. Alpowai The Ncz Perce Xetca gives the followieg de scription of this point: Arrived at Silcott's w arehouf e, at the mouth of the Alpowai, wo fi.und a scene of activity, which was quite refreshing to eyes accii.tom. ed to the dreary streets of Lrwiston. The creit warehouse was stuffed to its fullest capacity with fat sacks of golden grain, from the head of the Alpowai and Headman; on either side of the warehouse sheds had been erected for the shelter of grain, and these also were stored high to the roof, while we count c.i !, lmdi-il teams waiting their turn to di'eolnrirn and as many more on the way. The lumber on the raft is to be used in construct ing another large warehouse at that pjmt, nfaln for tVltt fttnttlfTft flf CTain. O'd Timothy, of Alpowai, a civilized Nez Perco Indian, has a fine ranch at this point, .,...!, f ami mnnh of it under cultivation, Timothv is probably the oldest Indian in the country, and claims to remember the hrst ap pearance of Lewis and Clark in this country. This old man, ai other Indian and the famous scout, Donald McKay, enlisted in the disas trous "Steptoe Expedition," and transported the troops across Snake river at the mouth of the Alpowai, and were proceeding w ith them toCohille, wlvn they were attacked by , 00 Indians fiom all the tribes in the upper coun try, except the Nez Perces. Timothy also fer ried Mr. Spalding across the river, as he ttis fleeing from the Cayuses to Lapwai with the news of the Whitman massacre, all of which goes to show that the old man has been . ,! f-;,l tn thn white mill in his tune. On the ranch on the creek bottom, t the mouth of the Alpowai, now owneu nv uav, km.. . ka fito nnnle trees nlanted by Mr. Spalding in 1S35, the oldest fruit trees east of the Cascade mountains; the trees are stiu hardy and bear largely, and tho additional tries planted in the last ten years make tnis probably the finest orchard in Columbia county. Durycas' Starch is the lst in the world It is wan anted pnre. None other so easily used or so economical. POLITICAL NEWS. Owing to tho wires being down news of the action of Congress and the President's nice- sago have not come to hand in time for par ticular mention this week. Tho House or gauircd by electing Gen. Keifcr, of Ohio, a Kcpuhlican, Speaker, and Edward Mcl'lier son, Clerk, who was clerk previously under a Republican House. Tho House of Represen tatives is about one-half Republicans, and the other half Democrats, Independents and tircenbarkers, but owing to several absences tho Republicans wcro in majority. View (torn Yamhill Mountain. A correspondent of the Lafajctte Ilejiorter writes as follows: On a beautiful morning, I was seized with a desire to climb to the summit of the Yamhill mountnin, to take a look at the surrounding country. I started up the mountain on a zig zig road, which was made for that purpose; the teams that usuilly go up the mountain aro wan anted to pull up or push bacx in making the ascent. 1 found myself ut last on the summit. Looking to the East, I saw n hem tiful valley, and at the cast side the Cascade mountains. In a low basin stood Mt. Hood, whose t 'P pierced the clouds. My ryes wan dered south to Mt. Jetlerson, and then oirJ soutn until tne mountains seemtu to uatten into a plain, 'then fade out of tight. West of thi-Ciscades spread out the beautiful valley of the Will unette vt ith prairies, and the w .iter courses studed with tall timber. Still further to the west, stretching along the coast could be seen, the C ast mountains. The first im portant, one of which is t. Mary's Peak, west of Corvallis, at the base of which runs the railroad to the coast. Alter viewing the nistuit surroiiudi gs, I took a view of o'd Yamhill. First 1 locat. d Sheridan, then the great serpent windings of tho Yamhill mcr. l'he uanuw range radio id, the tonus of Mc Slinuville, Lifaette, Dayton, Wheatland, Belleviie and Amity, all lay spreaj out before us. While contemplating the griiuletir of thu one county, the whistle of Mr. New by s flour ing null reminded me that it w.is about dmnei time. Tho Railroad. Frank M. Chcesman, w ho has been in the employ of the Ne.ida & Oregon Rail r old Company, during the Summer and Fall, re turned home this week. It is his belief that the unpleasantness now existing between the coufliLtiug elements of the company will have no detrimental effect upon the progress of the work ot constructing this railway line. It has retarded tho work in no particular thus far, and it is the general opinion of tliouc who assume to be informed relative to the matter that the building of the road will continue vigorously. Tho branch of the Central Pacific, to be constructed fiom Wadsworth to The Dalles, is sure to be built, and tnis fact is spurring the Nevada & Oregon Company on to do their utmost to prevent the furmer line h ading them off. It is the belief of many that the C. P. branch will reach this valley first, but upon what basis this assumption is made we are not advised, Of i ourse the C. P. Company wi 1 lose no nine in the construction of their line, for there are other and inoio potent incentives leading them on than merely the rivaby of the N. & O., but the Ut ter hue is making an excellent stait, so far as the progress of the work is concerned, and the I no from Wadsworth will, have to rea h out most vigorously to oveitake it. Gentlemen who have p itt,ul through 1 ere during the past month assuie us ihat we will hae a railroad into this valley inside of a twelve months, and all ihe stea n hoi so racket we want in a yeir or two more, to all of which we aay, "so be it." Lake County Herald. Weather. The climate of the Northwest is undoubt edly changing. Dunng the past month it has rained, on an averag-, ten dtys a week, and some of our pioneers arc going to the webfoot land to get some sunshine if tho rain don't let up toon. Last J-aturday night the sky was ocrcast with creat masts of dark clouds, and as the sun had set, the great luminary was, of course, iuvi-ible. The indications of a stoim roso up out of the w est and south like some black demon from the nether world ; you bet! The wind hunicd the flee y mes sengers of the upper deep idong as though tho wire running for a county office and were in a tearing liuiry to get there. By aud-by tho lain drops fell, which reminds us that some fool poet says : " lUin drops are tears sued by angels over ihe sins ol the woild." Longfellow also says: "The boo ed clouds, like luars, tell their beads idrops of rain." I his a beautiful comparison, but In this coun try, and at this season, the clouds say their piayeis in large flakes of snow. Hence there was a stern and .-ettled mel.in holy in the v sage of the average Lewistoman a ho turned out of b-d Sunday morn ng to say his prayers and I eheld six inches of snow on the streets. However, us "The morn advanced, in rustic mantle clad," the snow cne out, and i.y night it hail disappeared halfway up thu lulls; heavy rams on .Monday us-oiveu tne rest. Bright suu-hiny dajs and frosty nk'hts and ram all the time aie now the rule. Ncz Perce Ntwt. Coqullle Fisheries. On the opening of the tishing season on the Coquille iier, says th Xevt, we gao tho nanus of the parties engiged in the business and an estimate of the number of barrels, vt liich m ould probal ly be put up. Now that the season is about closed j o find that the number of barrels actually put up will fall a little short of reaching our estimate. This is owing to the fact that it was impossible to ,r. t lieln to care for the fish, ai d when a cer tain number were caught dunng the day or night, the fisherman hail to return to tlie ciilnnj house, sever 1 boats catchinc at times their allowed numuer in i nuura vtiui mnv . , , . i .. :.i. .llfi. net.
