GENERAL NOTES.
Tub Lowieton Teller says of tho Lapwri
ageucy:
Tlio finest saw mill in the country is located
here, nnd in addition to supplying the wonts
of the agency with lumber, the Indians cut
30,000 feetfor tho gairisnn; theieisalso a fine
flouring mill. Higher up tho creek is a thico
story school house whero the Indian children
aro lodged and taught. Among other objects
of interests aro the ruins of a stone church
built by the government at a cost of 510,000,
and a frame building which cost fie country
$40,000. Across the creek is the old Spauld
ing misrion house, a I03 house with an adobo
chimney, built in lb3C, tho first structure
erected by white men in this county. It is
now inhabited by a deaf and dumb Indian of
unusual intelligence, who keeps it in excellent
order. Near at hand, under a grove ot maples
where, in 1836, he first taught the mystery of
the cross to the wandering savages, the brave
Spaulding rests from his labors among the
tribe he lovfd so well
The Northwestern Miller published at Min
neapolis, says that experiments made by tho
Agricultural College of California to deter
mine tho moisture absorbed by grain in the
voyage to Liverpool resulted as follows : Be-
;' ing placed in a damp atmosphere under glass
for fifteen days, oats absorbed 29.08 percent.;
barley, 28.17 per cent.j wheat, ' 5.02 per cent.
While not an accurate test the experiments
demonstrate that the gain during an ocean
voyage would be great, and possinly explain
why a quarter of California wheat is reckoned
in England at 500 pounds, while the same
amount irom the states is 2U pounds less.
Goldendale Gazette: Last Sunday week the
Indians had a grand salmbn feast on tho river
near Yakima City. Some 200 of them assem
bled and sat down to fish messed up in every
imaginable- style.
Goldendale Gazette: On the Yakima road,
between the Topnish and tho Ahtanum creeks
is albtretch of 20 miles without a drop of wa
ter. Money has been raised to dig a well
about tho middle of that cage brush desert,
and many a thirsty biped and quadruped will
ave cause to feel grateful to Col. Kinney for
is deed of kindness in raising the money.
The value of lumber interests on Fuget
Sound may bo gathered from a notice in the
Olympia, Transcrijit, of the tale of a logging
camp near Olympia. The camp is running
about fifty men, and uses a railway, which
employs a dozen horses and mules aud forty
oxen. It comprises several hundred acres of
very fine timber lands, which will take the
new owners several j ears to log. It is said
tho price paid was $20,000.
Walla Walla Statesman: Mr. Lewis Cox,
one of the sheep-raising film of Cox Bro" ,
who own large tracts of land m this county
and in Whitman county, informs us that he
has shipped the large amount of 80,000 pounds
of wool all sacked and cleaned the largest
shipment ever made at one time from tho
country above Walla Walla. Two-thirds of
the wool was pure merino and the whole
shearing averaged eight pounds to the fleece,
while 2,300 sheep gave nine and three-quarter
pounds each. This is a splendid showing and
speaks well for the business like care and
management, which has created such a. sue-

Wool, fruit and grain will be the future
staples from which this upper country will
derive its greatest prosperity.
Walla Walla Statesman: Recently wo have
taken pains to interview many of our most in
ttelligent and best posted farmers, regarding
the coming grain crop of this valley, and espe
; cially with reference to this year's increase.
' Making a fair average of these statements, we
pare of the opinion that the increase this year
; over last years production all the present
v signs holding good will be fully CO per cent
"The crops look splendid, and barring all un-
fortunate results, we shall have an immense
rield. If it is true that at the close of last
on there were 25,000 tons of grain await-
Dg means of ti asportation, what is likely to
: the result this season! True, it is likely to
i all rail to Portland, but 50 per cent, more

crop, ana as mus lor us purcnase irom wool
buyers. Last year a part of our wool growers
pooled their crop and realized a high market
price, and that induced others to enter this
year, ao that the pool will have all the wool
in tne. county. The crop will not fall short of
0,000 pound, and is as hne as any ever of-
I in any market The shfepof this county
re principally raised on the prairies, and the
reel is clear and fine; but very little fire
burnt, and none hurry. The fleeces are well
put up this year, and will average five pounds
to tho fleece. We have no doubt there will be
considerable competition at the sale, as w ool
buyeis seldom have such an opportunity to
secure good quality of wool. Heretofore, tho
wool of Uinpqua valley has always Com
manded Ijie highest figure on the coast, but
we feel assured that the Thurston county
w ool tins year is equal to any ever raised in
that alley.
Walla Walla Statesman Tumwater is qui
etly prospering these days, and giving, in the
near future, promise of becoming what nature
intended, a milling and manufacturing center.
The pipe manufactory is all the time filling
large orders from below; Coop. r & Esterly
now occupy the manufactory put up by the
latter, Mr. Cooper having transferred his sash,
door aud blind machinery to that building,
and a large number of men are now busily en
gaged upon numerous order; Ward & Jones
are doing a rushing business in their grist
mill, and George Gelbach is also busy iu his
mill; Whitney & Jones have ten men at work
in their mill and sash and door factory, aud
are unable to keep up with their orders. The
prospect aro also good that a woolen mill
will be put to work in the place during the
coming season.
Walla Walla Union: The wheat on the
hills south of the city looks as though a rain
storm waa needed, however, no damage has
yet taken place.
Tho Dayton City Council adopted resolution
heartily thanking C. H. Preseott, manager of
the O. R. & N. Co., for carrying their steam
lire engine fiom Portland to Dayton, free.
The name of the station on tho Northern
Pacific, where passengers tako the sUgo for
Camp Orar d'Alene has been changed fro n
Westwood to Rathdrum.
"Another well is being dng at Eltopai, on the
N. P., 33 miles from Wallula. Water was
struck at a depth of 40foet. The new well is
about 20 feet from the old one, which is over
00 feet deep.
A. C. Dickinson, of Spring Valley, last
week, sold 240 acres of his land for 4,800.
He still has a thousand acres of fine land.
On tho 20th of May Mr. Brents, delegato in
Contrrcss irom Washington Territory, inado
an argument beforo the Senate Committeo on
Territories, in support of the claims of his
Territory for admission into the Union as a
State.
The track on the Umatilla and Baker City
railroad has been laid to a point 39 miles east
of Umatilla, where another bridge over the
Umatilla river has to be built. Laying track
up the Umatilla river is now slow work as all
rails, ties and material have to bo carried to
the front from the cars, the road bed being in
accessible for wagons and team;.
The lands above Ain&worth, on the north
side of Snake river, are reputed to be excel
lent for farming purposes. The good lands be
gin about seven miles up, and extend for sev
eral miles. A number of locations have already
been made there.
The O, R. & N, Co. are putting forth every
effort to have the line finished into Albina by
October 1st. There are several miles of heavy
rock cuts and no end of high embankments,
to say nothing of sixty trestles, some of them
very long. The status of the w ork is as fol
lows: The grade from East Portland up
Sullivan's gulch, thence to and across the
Sandy, including all trestle work and bridges,
is finished. Twenty-five hundred men are at
work on the division with satisfactory pro
gress, except at one point. Below Bonneville
for more than half a mile there it a heavy
rock cut directly on the river bank, and work
will necessanly be alow, because no large
powder shots can be fired. Danger to life and
property at Lower Cascades force? the labor
ers to confine themselves to light blasts, and
precludes the idea of pushing things.
St Paul's school for young ladies, at Walla
Walla, held commencement exercises last
week. Three young ladies graduated. Bishop
Paddock delivered a forcible address. This
school affords just the benefits needed in a
new and sparsely settled country, where a
system of graded schools are not yet inau
gurated! Many parents find themselves with
young daughters growing up, needing advan
tages, that can only be got by sending their
children away from home, and this school af
fords as good instruction and influence a any
in Eastern States.
Eugene City Gutinl: Ltst winter Mr, Jesse
Cox had a swarm of bees to die and leave the
hive full of old comb. One day last week he
was surprised to see a swarm of bees coming
from the touthwtit direction, and alighting
on and entering the vicated hive. lie informs
us they are working splendidly, and seem to
be doing as ell as any new swarm. This is
certainly a somewhat curious freak.

ley to the Belknap settlement is to bo worked
through this season. A thousand dollars has
been raised by subscription for the purpose,
and contracts for tho work let. A survey has
been made, making tho grades much lighter
than the toute now traveled.
Disseminator: One day last week, William
Gibhart, accompanied by Master Carey Mar
tin, of this placol killed the boss cougar of tbv
woods, near Prof. Martin's ranch, on the Mc
Kenzie. The fe-oci jus beast hid killed one of
Mr. Pepiot's yearling calves. Tlio boys col
lected the dcgs,and soon brought the monster
to hay in the bush on Gate creek. In the
tus-le which ensued, the dogs fought with un
exampled pluck and fury. But it would have
fared badly with the brave canines had not a
shot, from "Bill's" unciriug Winchester,
ttretched the now thoroughly infuriated ani
mal out in death. Its length was 9 feet, and
its weight 162 pound. Truly an ugly cus
tomer. Cheney Sentinel: Secretary Teller has inado
an important ruling in regard to the construc
tion hereaftr to be plaecd upon the act of
June 3, 1878, authorizing citizens of Colorado,
Nevada and the Territories to fell and remove
timber from the public domain for domestic
purposes, the department has construed the
words "fur domestic purposes" to mean cut
ting of timber for individuals for their own
use and not for sale. Numerous suits have
been brought, and many aro liow pending up-
nn this view, the result of which is to defeat
the very intent of the act, which wan to
provide a way by which needed timber for
mines, mills and liuneer towns can bo lezally
obtained. Ho holds tint any such uso within
a State or Territory, whether by individualsT
cutting timber, cr by mill or mill men to
whom it has been sold, is a consumption foi
elomestic pui poses, protected by tho act. Tho
timber cut must bo, however, of tho size re
quired by department regulations. This im
portant decision will materially chango tho
comso of proceeding in cases of timber depro
da'ions, both of the interior and tho depart
ment of justice.
Tacoma Ledger: The hop growers of this
valley aie taking steps to form what shall bo
kuown as tho "Puyallup Hop Growers' Asso
ciation." Saturday, the 24th of this month,
at 1 p. M., at Puyallup, is the tune and plaeo
chosen to effect this organization. One object
of this organization is to raise funds that they
may have the Associated Press hop di jpatches
for tho months of August and September.
This will cost 50 per month. By these dis
patches the growers can know the status of
the hops and hop market from day to dy at a
trifling cost to each, at much less expense
than the speculator, who receives his private
dispatches from England daily. The hop
growers hope to realize wtll this year, as high
as 15J cent" having b;en offered for the com
ing crop. Philip Wolf, of San Francisco, has
his agent here, who, last week, bought 10,000
pounds from J. F. Kincaid, and tho same
amount from A. Gardella, for 15 cvnta per
pound. The hops are looking well now; many
of them are to the top of tho poles.
The Teller, at Lewiston, says that 400 head
of horses and 5,000 head of sheep start this
week for Chicago, taking the railroad elown
when in Nebraska.
The people of Union contemplate the for
mation of an organization to bo called tho
"Eastern Oregon Fine Stock Association,"
with head quarters at Union, and with semi
annual meetings at ltemillard'o Race Course.
The object of the association is to encourage
those who are engaged in raising and improv
ing the breed of stock. At present premiums
will be confined to the horse department
alone, hut it is intended to form a corporation
and to include all kinds of fine stock. A
meeting will be held commencing October 9th
next, and to continue six days, at which
about two thousand dollars will be distri
buted as premiums. E. S. McComaa and L.
Remillard have entered into partnership in
the management of the fall meeting, and our
citizens are subscribing liberally to the enter
prise. Ine more money they get subscribed
the more liberal they can make the premiums.
They expect to offer the most attractive speed
programme of any race course East of the
Mountains, and we have no doubt times will
m lively ncre this fall as a result With
$2,300 ottered by the W. C. A. 8., probably
as much by the B. C. A. 8., 2,000 by R. i
McC, and $1,200 offered at Baker for race, in
July, making in all nearly $9,000, it would
seem that owners of fine and fast horses need
have no excuse for not filling them for the
turf this season. Mountain Sentinel.

Juno 3rd, 18S2, Tlios. M. Cochran, after a
lingering illness, at tho residence of his son-in-law,
II. B. Tingle, Amity, Yamhill county,
Oregon, passed from earth to ho with tho
Savior, whom he had terved so many years.
Mr. Cochran was born near Lewistown, Miss
lin county, Pa., Oct. 13th, 1811. November
10th, 183G, ho married iliss Nancy Clark,
who survives him, as well as five children
two daughters and tluco sons. In 1852, ho
emigrated to Oregon and. in 1S57, his family
came to share with him the joys and sorrows
of a pioneer life. Most of tho last 30 years ho
has spent in and near Amity Yamhill county,
Oregon. His health had been declining for
about six years, but since November last, ho
had been confined to his room and bed most of
the time till his death.
His ton, Junes Cochran, came from his
home, in Eastern Washington, to Amity, nnd
was permitted, with his devoted wife and ro
latives, to perforin tho last sad duty to a
loved husbind uud father. Well did they an
ticipate his wants, and tenderly guarded aud
relieved his second childhood, as he c'id when
their fleet commenced threading the maze? of
this mortal lite. In his death the church has
lost a worthy member, and the community a
valuable citizen.
May 29th, 1882, tho Reaper gathered into
tho heavenly garner the spirit of Mrs. Caro
line, wife of 'Henry A. Walker, and eldest
daughter of W. and Mary Thurman, of Amity,
Yamhill county, Oregon, after a bnef but
severe illness, aged 27 years aud 4 months.
She died at the residouco of J. W. Martin
Sho was and hnd been a member of tho Chris
tian church for 15 years. She was the life and
light of her home circle, aud iu her 8oci.il
snherc was lovinc and lovcable. Her piety.
pleasantry and relined manners endeared her
to a lcrgo circle of friends; and by which sho
still lives, iu tho hearts of thoso sho has left
behind. Sho was the mother of four children,
- who, w'ith husband, father and mother, btoth
ers. sisteis, lelatives aud friends, deeply feel
their loss, and yet from this tad beioavemtnt
cornea tho comforting thought and fart that
she was prepared to pass in triumph, froni the
trials nrd sorrows of earth, to tho paradise of
uoil at last. itnout a struggle, she sank
quietly and pleasantly to sleep.
"Yes, asleep in Jesus; Oh how sneet,

For h.ipe looks beyond tho bounds of time
Whon what we now deploro

To bo livo and fado no more."

The Acme Fruit Dryer.
Tho importance of tho fruit interest, as giv
lug our producers opportunity for mixed Ima
baudry, depends gieatly upon the ability to
prcservo fruit and mako it inarkctahlo other
wise than in a green state. Wo hive always
felt that dried fruit was to bo the resoirco of
the fruit grower, and heretofore no drier pre
sented to our fruit growers has ever shown
the necessary perfection for controlling and
applying heat so as to insure a choice, mer
chantable product without danger ot burning
during tho process. Now comes Mr. R. E
Bums, of San Francisco, who has uork'cd for
years to solve this important problem. Hav
had a large orchard at the East, ho came to
California to realize the advantage of this
coast as a fruit country, aud tet to work to
study how to perfect the business of drying
fruit. We noticed in the proceedings of tho
California Horticultural Association that tho
Acme was spoken of as far ahead of all other
driers. Having examined this drier, which is
the oue that Mr. Burns has finally perfected,
wo aro prepared to believe it. Vo met at
the ht. Charles Hotel, when studying this
process, Mr. S. Luelling and A. Luclliug, of
Milwaukee,-Mr. Bradford, of Portland, and
Mr, H. W. Prettyman.of East Portland (who
first called our attention to the value of this
drier), all of whom aro well known fruit
growers. All these gentlemen seemed to
agree with us in considering this process
superior to anything we had ever seen.
Mr, Burns is here for the purpose of selling
county rights. Although his process has only
been patented eighteen months, and was only
patented last December, he has already told
out all the counties in California to practical
men, and in that State his drier supercedes
already the Plummer, the Aldeu and all other
macliines.
In a contest before the State Agricultural
Society of California, last fall, Mr. Burns re
ceived a gold medal, awarded on the follow,
ing report from special committee on this
subject i '
BVour committee regard this drier as the
most perfect fruit drier we have ever seen.
Its cheapness brings it within the reach of

Forest Fires.
The season for foiest r-res is commencing,
and wo may expect to seo our July and
August skies cloudeel with the snioko of
burning timber in tho mountains in every
direction, In almost every ce these con
flagrations may be traced to the carelessness
or meanness of some foolish person. Campers
should have some forethought aud put out
any embers that may bo left when breaking
camp. Evtry bit of our timber represents
so much money, and the time will como when
all timber will have its value, no matter how
renioto from civilization. Farmers aro not the
ones who aro careless; surveyors and road
makers aro more apt to bo heedless, and it
may bo that some surveyors w ould not care
if tho fires would blot out the records of their
crooked lines. Not only is valuablo timber
destroyed, but the fire seems to burn out the
fertility of tho soil. Lot eycry one who camps
bear it in mind; be careful, for behold how
great a matter a littlo fire kindleth t
Stavelesi Barrels.
Tlio logging camp of tho Mattulath Manu
facturing Company is located at Carson, half
a mile from Puyallup. They aro getting out
20,000 feet of cottonwi od logs per day, using
tho labor of seventeen men and four yoke of
cattle. These logs nro made into r.ifts and
towed to the factory of tho company at Seat
tle. The company think they liavo a gieat
iinpiovcment in the sheet barrel, which is
mado by cutting a log into barrel length',
Boftening them by a steam proce&s, and then
shaving each pieco into a long sheet, uui oiled
liko a carpet. Each sheet is then cross-cut
into ttich a length that when the two ends aro
brought together it is given tho sio and form
of a barrel, without heads, the whole being
dono by machinery. This has pro;-.;l a great
improvement over tho stave barrel in cost of
manufacturing as will as in merits for me
Tho only drawback, if drawback it may bo
called, is that clrar timber is required in this
easo, all tho knotty timber being rejected,
whereas for staves knotty timber may be used.
Cousequcutly, tho best of tho cottonwood is
now being culled out, and unless the supply
of virgin forests of this kind proves illimit
able, they will after awhiio be compelled to
return to tho manufacture of staves exclusive
ly. Tacoma Leilyer,
Tacoma Ledijer : On Monday last, Mr. R.
Look, w horn we have noticed heretofore as
engaged in fishing, caught in his weirs on the
east side of the bay, two shad, one two-thirds
grown and tho other full grown. They were
examined by Capt. Halo and other downcast
ers Mr. Look bring an old Maine fisherman
himself and there was no question as to their
being shad, They aro the first of these fish
caught north of the Columbia river, aud tho
first full grown ono we have heard of on tho
coast. 1'ive years ago, tho eggs wcro sent
from tho Atlantic by tho United States Fish
Commission and put in tho Sacramento river,
and young ones have occarionally been caught
in Monterey, Sail Francisco aid Humboldt
bays sinco that time. Two years ago one or
two was caught in tho Columbia, and rjuito a
number last year. Now they hava reached
I'ugct Sound, but probably iu small numbers.
We do not doubt but that in a fow years they
will 'bo plenty. They are a delicious fish,
scarcely if any inferior to tho salmon for the
table. Oj the Atlantic coait, the arrival of
salmon is noted as much as any event of the
season. Unlike salmon, they migrate from the
south in the spring and go north, first being
he.ird from on the Florida coast, and their
presenco is reckoned to a dvy when they will
reach the various points north until they
reach the provinces. It would seem that they
are traversing this coast in the tame manner,
and iu a fe- years, when we hear of them be
ing caught at Monterey bay, our fishermen
will tell us what day afterwards that we will
have shad for dinner.

Editor Willamctto Farmer:
Newberg Agricultural Society met this
afternoon at 2 o'clock. Tho attendanco was
quite mull, but considerable interest was
manifested. Tho subject of "Tho Proper
Method aud Cost of Underdraiuing" was
opened by John Brown and discussed in a
familiar way by members of the socitty. Th
opinon prevailed that tilo draii.ing was the
most satisfactory and profitable; good fall
should be obtained, and tilo of suflicient size
'should bo laid to carry away tho water speed
ily. The subjeot of "How to make Good,
Healthful Bread" was opened by Mrs! Maggie
Wood. Every kind of I road, from tho fine
white yeast to tho old Carolina biscuit, was
considered, with the "why" and tho "how,"
The lady members paid their recpects to the
miller who makes poor flour, of course.
The subjeot of holding a fair in tho autumn
was freely discussed by the numbers, and a
committeo of fivo was appointed to look after
and report its to the propriety of holding an
agricultural lair at this place.
The regular meo'ings of this society are
held tho second Saturday in each month.
Everybody invited.
