A scarcity of domestic help is what worries tho Siattlo people. Tho waters of the Yakima river aro falling. So is the Columbia. McKarland's saw mill, in the Klickitat country, has been destroyed by firo. Loss, not known. Tho steamer City of Quincy safely arrived at tho Sound. Her trip from tho Columbia to 1'ugct Sound was .1 successful one. The Whito river. W, T hop crop promises splendidly. Fruit lias not been injured by frosts, and apples, plums and pears promise abundantly. Tho barrel factory at Seattle, XV. T is running at the top of its capacitv and turning out between 2000 and 3000 barrels daily. About DO men and boys are worked. Tim harvest for the year is close at band in Walla Walla valley, says the Staternan. Tho lields are whitening lor the haivest and our fanners arc telling us that laborers are few. Wheat sells in Cheney at 75 cents per bushel, oats 371 cents, and barley SI 30 per hundred ; hen fruit, 2.5 tents p-r dozen, aud concentrated extract of cow, 20 cents per pound. Crop prospects in the diC'erent valleys and parts of Yakima county, says the lltcord. have improved rince the recent rains, but too iiio in mu season iu may recover iroui ineir stunted condition of the early drought. The Intelligencer says that the right of way for tho Oregon Transcontinental line into and thiougli Seattle has been i-erurtd, so that there is now no longer any excuse on the part of tho company for delay in carrying out their part of the contract. Tho mills on tho Sound have been fairly ovcidoing themselves of late. Last week, says the Intelligencer, tho l'nrt Iilakely mill cut 1,220,000 (cct ot merchantable lumber, the biggest day's work being ou Saturday, when 2OS.O00 feet were turned out in eleven and one-half hours. Tho authorities at Pendleton gave the pros- Ptittiteti of that place a quarter of an hour to leave tno town, nix ot the women walked to Weston, two or threo went to Walh Walla and the balanco aro camped on the outskirts nf the burg waitimr for tho milleuiuin. Soms hunters, w bile hunting deer by torch light on Lope, Island, W. T., ouo night lait week, mistook tho bright eyes of a tiicndly horse for those of a deer, and as a result, a neighbor farmer is now compelled to cultivate bis crops witli ouo horse instead of two. The Klickitat County Agricultural and Mo chanical Society has changed tho dale of the fair to September '.Mth, '-!7th, 28th and 20th, 18S12 They havo albo ordered hydraulic water uoiks, which will furnish an ample supply of pure water.

Spring frost occurred at Lakevicw, Lake county, on Juno 24th. Sheep shearing is well under way in Lake county. Also, in tbo Umpqua valley. Already $3000 have been subscribed for an academy at Lakevicw, Lake county. The Koguo river fishery is still running in full blist, with indications that it will not soon shut down. 1 he catch has been simply immense. Most of wool in Clackamas county says tho EnterjirUe, has b, en sold. The quantity ws not so great as in former years, as a great many of the flocks havo been sold oil". Tho Lakevicw Examiner says: Cowboys in the vicinity nf Stem mountain recently caught a horse thief and made an honest man of him. Ho died during the process of conversion. A car was loaded with flour at Albany in just eight minutes, Tho sum of $400 was collected by tho police court in Astoria during the month ot June. Powder River valley, in Baker county, was recently treated to a thunder shower. The next session nf tbo errand lndpfi of T. O rG.

In spsakiii i nf the high water the fact that it did not cllect Astoria, tho Axtorian says: "We don't notice it much in the river; of eourso such a frtshet must lie troublesome to parties living on creeks in the interior " We consider that a decided good story. Our little lot of salt must have got down there. You aro to i fresh, boys! Scrapa yourselves like they are the bar. Clean oil tho barnacles. A few days ince, durine the prog-ess of a camp meeting on the bank of the McKenzie, near Kugcno, a little daughter of Rev. I. D. Driver, of Kuuene, about eight years pf age, approached the river to get a drink, when suddenly tho bank broke away and she was precipitated into the water. The current there is very strong, and speedily she was carried down the stream, till s'jc came oppo site to wnero tier lather ana others were. Tho girl was floating on or near the surface, only a few feet from the edge, and was plainly seen by those on the bank. She was rescued by Prof Lambert and her father at the lisk of their lives. Tiik Wiikvt Chop. Tho indications from what we have been able to collect from those who aro adtised, says tho Wulla Walla Union, are that the wheat crop this year will fall consideiably short of the yield of last season, Tho fall wheat is stid to be about tho same as last ear, but the spring sown fields ill some localities will doubtless give below an aver age yii I t. The cold spring weather is one ot the causes of the present backwardness of tho grain; it kept it fr in growing, allowed the weeds to get iu alv.inco and to an ex tent crowd out the crop. From a few of the leading farmers w ho have learned that the increase of aceage of wheat in what is know n as the Dry creek sec tion, embracing all that section between Mill creek and Dry creek to the mouth of the lat ter, will yield about threo tons for shipment tn two last 8oason. However, it is not in jured to that extent by drought and heat that a rain would not restoio it and ct insure a good yield, urain neius in Assotin, uead- man and in parts ot Columbia county, are said to bo "firing" considerably. Whitman county grain is iu lino growing condition, but much later than hero. Tlif.Flth Wheel at Ibe CiKratlrs. A gentleman who spent some time watch ing the operations of the fish wheel at the Cascades yesterday, furniehes a very interest ing account of its workings. The li-li wie plentiful while he was there and it was a fine sight to sie tho large salmon threo or four at a time lifted out of the water in the large wiie tcoops of the wheel and after falling to the center, elide down a seliuto into a Urge bin, where they kicked and flounced till dead. Then they were sent t a cannery two er three miles below in the following singular manner. A man armed with a large needle threaded with a piece of blo rope strung them thrjugh the eyis a dozen in a bunch, and when a dozan of these strings were ready, they were tied together and the gross of fish hoist, d into the river by a derrick, where the ropj was made fast to akeg buoy and the parcel al lowed to float down the river to Bonneville, where a small steamer took them in and landed them at the cannery. Vast numbers of river pike were caught, killed and givtn to Indians or fed to hogs, which it is claimed is a good idea, as theo worthless tisli are very destructive to salmon spawn aud young sal mon. The proprietor ot tho wheel stated that he intended tn start a natchery at a cold mountain stream near by, nnd in August, when the spawn of tho salmon is ripe, he would arrange his machine so that they could be caught without injuring them, strip them of their eggs, which he would hatch, and so place in the river many times more salmon than he killed. And this he intended to do t his own expense. The wheel, from the ac count riven, tloes not appear to bo no very destructive an affair. The scoops do not reach within many feet of the bottom, end unless sa'mon all swim within a short distance of the surface a large percentage must escape. The ereat objection to these wheels has not been on account nf the number of fish caught, but from the idea tnat an unfair advantage was taken by placing the wheels at points where the lish. owing to the swiftness of the current, were obliged to hug the shore and so could scared' fail to he taken, but as the wheel is only a few feet wide and does not reach near the bottom, probably many are missed. Standard. Up the Cowi.it. The steamer Toltdo, of the Portland and Cowlitz river trade, on last Tuesday, weut up that rirpr about 30 miles above t'oledc, XV. T., the present hoid ot navigation. This is the first time any boat has undertaken the trip, and the water was found to be deep enough for navigation, but some wotk is necessary to remove certain oh afflictions. Tin's enterprise of the steamboat company will be a great benefit to the sottlen of tlio eastern portion of Ciwli'z county, in giving them an outlet, w hich they have not had, except by the tlow and tedious wagon road. The Toledo brought down a full cargo of lumber, grain, hay, etc., and will make the same trip in a few elays again. Walla Walla Union Arrange- incuts are made for w ik to commentu on tlie Whitman seminal v ntt week. The litest improved suits have been ordered fioin Port land.

The Oregon Short Line of the Union Pacific railroad, says tho Walla Walla Union, is building rapidly toward the Pacific. The lino from (.ranger to the Wood river country has already been opened to traffic. On the 8th inst rails were laid ou tho bridge over the Snako river at American Fulls and for 2000 feet beyond that point, and tho daily rate of progi ess "since that tlmo has been about it niilo and a quarter. At this rate the rails will uudnub.edly be laid to Little t ooit river iu sixty days. Un tho dav unon which rails wero laid across Snako nverthe rail way freieht nucnt nt lll-tokfoot was ordered to change his base of upeiations tn Pocatello, anil make pr, paiatiom to stop a.l Wood River ireigut scut to 111 tcletoiit .'it that point, and forward it to Auioricin Falls, whom it will bo loaded on wagons for its destination.

The S.wtiam Mixes. The mines of the Santiam are coming into notice onco moic. Capt. lilaisdcll, nf Nevada, a brother of tho Governor of that Stte, and some of our Portl mil capitalists have secured a controlling interest in the White Ball mine, and work will bo commenced en it iu Julv and an effort wiH bo mSde to develop the great tu.!tliit is btipposed to contain. A paying lead, two feet in width, has been struck in the Canal Fork mine and the discovery cf other good leads is reported. Many attempts have been mado to develop the m'nes on tho Santiam, but heretofore without success, although it is deemed certain that thoy aro very valuable. From the experience and wealth of those who are now engtged in the enterprise it is certain that if the mines are good the fact will be demonstrated to a proof. TANGENT NURSERY.
