I WILLAMETTE VABMEB: PORTLAND, OREGON, NOVEMBER 24, 1882. Oet Thee a Ranch In the Mountains. Upcn the completion of the transcoDtinea Ul railway next year the tide of immigration will tend Oregonward. Thousands will avail themslrea oi the opportunity to icek the golden land of the Occident wheie the grand Pacific laves the shores of as favored a land as the Creator ever fashioned. Here they will find a climate which has fitly betn oalled the "Ialy of America," where a prolifio soil yields bounteous supplies of the fruits of husbandry. In addition to our' fruitful soil, our valuable herds, ami acres of fine forests, and manufac turing facilities, we have hatbora into which ail the tall ships of the Id world to carry away over the briny deep such of our market able produce as they desire. In the Eastern States all the government land has beta claimed, aud the ambitious poor man, young and old, must turn thiir facet westward for the opportunities which in the East are now passed the acquisition of land by the home stead and pre-emption laws. In Oregon, es pecially in the Wilhmette Valley, the greater put of the prairie land has been taken up, but there yet remains many thousands of acres of timber land to be occupied by men who are ot afraid to roll up their sleeves and face honest toll with the detern iuation to make a home on a tract which a generous government gives to each applicant. It may look like elf denial to plunge into the woods and at sent oneself from society in order to fulfill the intentions of the law which requires a residence upon the tract so taken, but the man of pluck wdl reason that he is getting a heri tage of his own, and that he will not always be dependent upon the charity of others. In a few years of assiduous toil he can look about him with the proud consciousness that he has won the fight and retains all the trophies . He will be surprishd to see what an easy and cheerful task he has accomplished. It hat beon a beast that anybody can make a living in Oregon without much labor, but that time Is passing away, A densely populated coun try, at Oregon will be in a few years, will dis sipate all chances of earning bread and butter with but trifling labor. Those who cannot see far enough into the future to provide themselves with laud which can now be had for the asking, will be crowded out by new comers who are not afraid to work, and who will gladly take advantages of the opportuni ties which so many of our young men at the present scorn. Labor degrades no man. Ex penenca in this world hould teach all the necessity of exertion. Times change. Pro gress never halts to await the pleasure of tar dinees of man. The old maxim, "never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day," is pertinent at this time, and is an a 1 vice which daily proves itself in the affairs of men. That great agent of civilization, the railroad, is in our midst, and its developing hand will open up avenues of business in our land, of which we Oregonians, in our slow and easy-going, plodding way never dreamed. To the present generation of Oregon s young men we will say, now is your opportunity. Engage in some permanent business. If you have a trade stick to it; if you have no trade "get thee a ranch in the mountains," improve it, prove up on it and stay with it. Silcerton Appeal. about twelve acres sowed in Alfalfa which, although pastured very closely, looked very well. It has been sown about two years and has been pastured ever since. Mr. Ward sayi it can be pastured the first car, if I m's take not. He saya he 'could have cut a good crop of hty from his ground the second year had he not pastured it. It is now eaten close to the ground, but looks thrifty and is grow ing. He says its value as green feed, even if it cannot be cut for hay, is almost beyond es timation. He thinks of sowing more seed next spring. Mr. Golden, also of this neigh borhood, has a small patch on bill land that is said, to doing well. Thii plant is one anihng the best of forage plants, and there is not more than one obstacle, if any, in the way of making its production a success in this country, and is our land is such that the sub soil may be too hard for its roots to penetrate at deep into the toil ct they should. As for rain there is plenty of that to make its growth a certainty, it being adapted to very dry ell mates. If the practical farmers of Eastern Oregon want a grass that will grow without cultivation and befog sown every year, I think alfalfa or Chilian clover will come as near filling the bill as any. If it cannot be cut for hay, it makes splendid pasturage for horses, cattle, hogs, and, in fact, for all kinds of stock. I believe if it is sown in the spring on ground that is in good condition, where the subsoil is not too hard, that in a year or so the returns will be large. Prosperity of the Northwest. Pacific Coast Forests. bulletins have been issued from the census bureaus giving the statistics of forestry of the State of Oregon and California and of Wash ington Territory. The principal trees of California are, red fir, red wood, tide-water spruce, chestnut and oak u the coast range; and sugar pine, yellow pine and red fir on the Sierra Nevada. Any estimate of the actual amount of lumber standing in that State, except redwood, is not possible with the existing knowledge of the country. The principal lumber industry it confined to the redwood belt, on the line of the Central Pacific Railroad, on both alopet of the Sierra Nevada, to points in Butte, Te hama and Mono counties, and in the San Bernardino Mountains. The total produot of the State for the census year was 334,795, 000 feet of lumber, 242,400,000 feet of laths, 138,718,000 shingles, 2,062,000 staves, and 1,203,000 sets of barrel headings. In Oregon, the most valuable trees are in the order as set down: Red-fir, tide water spruce, red cedar, hemlock, Port Orford cedar, white oak, sugar pine, chestnut, oak laroh and scrub pine. The principal lumber indus try centers Bear Portland, Astoria and Empire City. The product of the coast region for the census year was 151,443,000 feet of lumber, 17,950,000 lathi and 2,745,000 shingles. The product ot the State east of the Cascade Range was 25.798,000 feet of lumber, 295,000 laths and 2,295,000 shingles. Washington Territory is covered, west of the Cascade Mountains, by the heaviest growth of timber in the United States. The most atuable trees of this region are yellow fir covering about seven-tenths of the forest growth), red cedar, hemlock and tide-water spruce. Katt of the Cascade Mountains are red fir, yellow and white pine, larch, hemlock and red cedar. The principal lumber region is confined to Puget Sound. The product of this region for the census year was 144,387,000 feet lumber, 6,850,000 feet of laths, 710,000 hjnglea, and 2,366,000 staves. The product f the coast, outside of Puget Sound region, wat 9,609,000 feet of lumber and 200,000 shingles; and of the Territory east of the Cat LS?' 190.000 feet of lumber and 2,700.080 thiufllee. Atorian. Those of us who have been in Oregon for the past quarter of a century can realize the progress the Northwest has made within the past two years. Twent-five years ago we had a population not to exceed 40,000, which was scattered throngh the Willamette south as far as Rogue River valley. East of the Moun tains, which is now attracting so much atten tion, was scarcely known to even the residents of the valley. Our only communication with the outside world wat by steamship from here to San Francisco about every three or four weeks in tubs, which it took from five toj eight days to make the trip. The first relief we had in mail facilities was the establish ment of the overland stages, when we re ceived a daily mail, which was secured to us through the energy of the late Lansing Stout, who represented the State in the Lower House at the time. The travel up the Wil lamette Valley, in the main, was done on horsebick, and it took tliree or four days to go to Eugeie City. The boatsjran irregularly between this city and Oorvallis once a week alout seven months each year, and took two or.three days to get there. Let the reader contrast the present with that of twenty-fi e years ago. We were then deprived of all lux uries and even many necessities. We have them all now. Look at our inland transportation and traveling facili ties as compared with those twenty-five years ago. Look at the magnificent cities, and look at the different towns in the valley. Then take a view of the vast territory East of the Mountains. See the great wealth that has been created there within the past ten years. Look at our commerce and the rapidlyincreas- ing exports. To the old citizen, who does not occasionally reflect on the subject, the change can hardly be realized. For the new-comer, it is impossible to realize what the State or this Northwest was a quarter of a century ago. This progress has not been perceptible until within the last few years. What has done it? The rich fertile country and an un surpassed climate is at the back of this pro gress, and the improvements are only keeping pace wiin tne aeveiopment ot tne agricultural and other reiourcet. Ortgon Colonist, ETVBN THK FCITIVF.. Alfred Anderson and llertha Nelson In the Illy Jail. Chief of Police Lippcus returned last night on the Queen ot the Pacific, having in charge Alfrtd Anderson, who is charged with the murder of his brother Charles, at Swan Island. The account of the murder, and the flight and subsc Juent arrest of Alfred has. already been published in the Standard, and there is not much more te record, except that the prison ers gave the chief no trouble whatever on the steamer. They talked to him rather freely, and Anderson made tome contra dictory statements concerning the trag edy, and especially about the money. He said that he hod only $250 when he left Portland lor the sound. But the fact was developed that he got into a gambling game with one of his countrymen named Schow, Harry El more and Sherwin. Schow roped him in, Elmore put up the cards and Shot win did the betting. In one hand he lost alout $400. The white handled pistol that Bertha identified as Charles' was found on Alfred, 'lhe woman is a quiet looking person and' the probabdities are that 'the knew nothing of the affair, or Has afraid to say anything. Anderson looks very much dejected and makes some ccnUicting statements now to the re porters, which is quite natural under the d'cumstances. The matter will in all proba bility be referred to the grand jury at one. He stoutly asserts his innocence, and though mere is a p if simnty m his l.ivor the circum stances are against him. The trunk belong ing to Charles has not been recovered yet. THE BlIOOTI.NU OF HOXIE. The facts about the killing of Ezra Hox- l.hrst, or as he was called, Ed. Hnxie, at The Dalles on Tuesday, the 14th, by C. P. Jones, a special police officer, appear to be about as follow s: Deputy Shei iff Hayden, armed w ith a warrant, went to arrest a Mrs. Ida M. Hil dreth, at the instance of her husband, who lues at White Salmon, and finding her at a house of bad repute, as resisted by Hoxie in a threatening manner. Hayden then called Jones to his assistanco, and togtther they started to make tl e arrest. City Recorder Hudson and Justice of the Peace Calhoun went with the officers. Jones went in the lead to the door, when Hoxie again appeared and resisted the officers. He was warned that it was foolish and dangerous to resist a warrant, and thai the woman must bo given up. Hoxie then drew aud cocked h's revol ver, but Jones was too nuick for him. and . ; . . . . .. . . . . .: i . snot mm below the breast bone, the ball lo ig ing in the back bone. Hoxie fell, but rallied aud attempted to shoot, but failed. Hoxie was a half-breed, snd a pretty hard character. Airs, imuretu is a rather weak minded wo man, and was wanted in court to testify against a man named Dennis, who ran her away from her husband. She was found Be c'reted in the house where the tragedy was enacted. The report is a mistake that Ed. Hoxie killed two men or served in the peni tentiary. His brother Nels was convicted of manslaughter and served one term. Ed. lived many years in alem, and was a waiter in Emerson's restaurant. , BATEKN A COLOBED COLONY FOB WASHINGTON. Next Monday, T. J. Addison, who hat lived in Walla Walla since 1865, will start on a journey to the Eastern States, with the ob ject of forming and bringing hither a colony of colored people. He will visit New York, Baltimore and Ohio cities for this purpose. He is very much impressed with the belief that his people will find this climate prefer able to that in the east, and that the outlook hero promises a rich reward for honest toll. Mr. Addison has made himself thoroughly conversant with the material facts relating to this section, and will be able to make a fair presentation or them to those with whom he comes in contact. He may be acclimated himself, but he will find that if he is successful in securing any considerable numbir of South ern men and in bringing them out, he or Eastern Washington will have an elephant on hand, for, if there is one thing a Southern colored man does not like, it is cold weather at any season of the J ear. SUM IDE AT COQULLE CITY. On Friday last, in the afternoon at about 2 o'clock, Wm. Mallagh, a respected citizen of Uoquille City, hanged himself until he wss dead. He and his wife have lived a disagree able life for the past year, having, during this time, separated on two occasions, the last of which resulted in this horrible tragedy. He bad threatened to do so before unless his wife would return, which s! e did and lived with him up to a day or two prior to his death. He had been seen dow n town several times during the day and seemed in his usual mood. Early in tko niorninc ho made, a trio to the mill, where ho has been off bearing for a long time, and going to where he had some rope he had used in making logs fast, he got a small rope anil held it up shaking it in a bantering kind of a way at the boys in the mill, then left in seeming good spirits, At about 2:30 o'clock, Frank aud May Bunch, a hrother nnd sister of the deceased's wife, who were carrvinz awav her share of tho honso. hold effects, approached the house and saw uiubuei-iii law uangiiig uy mo nccK. ANOTHER LBADYIUB. A Rich Mineral Belt that can b traced from Ruth District, in Idaho, to the Mouth of Burnt River, in Baker County, Oregon. . For some time past there has been quito an excitement in Western Idaho, over the dis covery of rich ledges of gold and silver ores, in Washington District, Washinston countv. Idaho,, hut it was not until last week that any defiuite information could be received In this section concerning it It .seems that these rich deposits of ores are traceable from Ruth District, in Idaho, to the mouth of Burnt river, in this county, about 65 miles southeast of thfs city. The deposits are to be found principally on Danite creek and the heads of Ness and Man's creek. The ores consist of carbonate and chlorides, and conscqucntv are smelting ores. There have been several men in the section from I.eadvillo and various parts of Colorado, and the reports they re ceived from ores sent back to those points have been very satisfactory, and men are Hocking in from that section. The ore is dif ferent from any over before found in this part of the couutry, but is vory near liko that of Leidville. It contains large quantities of sil ver and copper. Alex. Tartar, an old settler of this county, was in town last Saturday with some specimens of the ore. and seems highly elated over some ledges r-cently found by himself and partner, Mr. Hobbs. When 1 e left, there were over 135 ledges recorded in that district. From what we can gleam frcm various sources, it seems that there is to be another Leadville in the new district.

Alfalfa la Batten Ortcon A correspondent of the Waaco Sun writes from Dufur, Waeco county, at follows : Your correspondent noticed an 'article about al falfa in your paper of the 27b tilt It hat bees taid "the man who would make two blades of grass grow where only one grows now would U he grcatett benefactor of the human rcu.''

It has been generally known for some time that a towntite company has been organized in Cheney and Spokan Falls, to build up an in terior town at Cottonwood Springs. This sec tiou of the country has long been known as the best f aiming area of Spokan county. 1 he Rockford and Farmingtou countries are, per haps, no better. At present a large immi gration is pouring into the country adjacent to the springs, and it is fast becoming the center of a large community. The town site it said to be very fine, with an abundance of water from magnificent springs and rich soil. Roads from all directions lead Into the place. which has been a camping spot for travelers and stock men ever since the country has been known to white men. Far and near on all sides extends the open, rolling'country, at present covered with a rank growth of bunch grass. Where now is one vast rolling prairie with here and there farm houses scattered, will before two years be vast fields of golden grain waving in the summer breeze. The lands are not hilly, as in the famous Paloute region, but the soil is equal to any in that locality. Water can easily be obtained in' wells and streams, and at easy distances wood for fuel and fencing if found on the hill side sloping toward the Spokan river and other streams. Fort Spokan lift at no great distance away, and the place it centrally located northwest of Sprague, Cheney and Spokan Falls. It is but a question of a short time urtil the vast farming area of which this particular section it only a large portion, will be opened up by a railroad running from the line of the North era Pacific to its farthest extremity. Indeed, two lines are already proposed that will tap u"re country, we now of no more promising land than that of which Davenport it the center, and it can hardly be otherwise but that Davenport will toon rank at one of of our bett townt. The factor of adjacent fine grain and general farming lands, well supplied with water and timber, it tare to build a town. Thit Davenport has, ia an eminent degree. WeM. Short Some time since Rufus Thompson, who lives atross the river from Albany, in Benton county, employed a young man to do farm work. About the first of the week a man by the name of Peter McManui, supposed to be an ex-convict, applied to Mr. Thompson for work, who gave him a job of chopping wood. At night he was put in the same bed to sleep wiui me young larm nana. AlCManus. it seems, did not like this, and made complaints aooui h, wuicn no Kept up until .the follow ing Wednesday evening, when he entered into a personal qnairel with the young man, calling him hard names, and finally struck at him, but the young man warded off the blow by throwing up his arm. At this stage of the proceeding Mr. 'I hompsou entered and put an end to the row. It was found after the melee was over that the young mau had re ceived a cut over the eye, on the face, and on the finger of the hand with which he warded uu me uiow, jucaianus denied having a kuife, but Mr. Thompson's son saw him pick ing up a knife from the floor after the affair had subsided. McManus left, and has not been teen since. 8ALEH OPEttA UOISK. Since the fire which came so near destroy ing the Opera House block, says the town lalk, the owners have commenced on new plans to rebuild in a style which will make the hotel first-class, and materially change the portion known at the opera house. The hote pjrt will be divided in such a way as to give large, well lighted and well ventilated suites of rooms, with modern arrangement of r.ffW daucing rooms, etc. The furniture will be of tho latest styles, all new and elegant. The hotel will be finished un and readv to onen about the first of, January next, and will be presiucu over Dy an old and experienced laud lord, who knows how to run it for the comfort and convenience of the traveling public. The arrangement of theopeia house is being changed under the direction of an architect versed in acoustics, or laws of sound ; the stage is to be. remodeled, and all the scenery painted auew. The work on the opera house will be completed ready for occupaucy by the 10th day of December next. Lemon Batter.

About fifteen tons of antimonial silver ore from the Silver King mine, the recent strike by Kelly, Duffy and others, near Sawtooth has been received at the Hailey Sampling Works. It is probably the nicest lot of ore received from any mine in that section this year, as it will average at least $500 per ton. A chunk as big as a large man's fist was broken of a niwa .ll.i about 600 pounds, and attayed, and found to carry ailvtr at the rate of 14000 per ton. The ledge exposed in the Silver King is seven feet wide of which two feet carrin ore averaging 1000 Ptr ton, and five feet carriet ore averag. m Thb Aurora Borzali.

On a cl air near by was found some writing mate rial aud a book about a three-quire blotter, on one page of which was written, length ways of the book, the following in substance, seemingly addressed tohis wife: "Thisis caused by out marriage. If you would forgive I would." Mr. M. was an honest, hard work man since he came to Coquille; was a mem ber of the Seventh Day Adventist church; was agreeable and kind, and to all appoir antei temperate. He hailed from Walla Walla valley. Mail Link Needed. There is nothing which Eastern Oregon more greatly needs than a mail line from Lakcview to Harney valley. In point of w ealth and importance this section, says the Lakeview Examiner, is second to none in the State, and it U being seiea rapiuiy. lhe lack ot mail communi cation is a serious drawback to the dovelon ment of the country, settlers having to go from thirty to one hundred and sixty miles ior meir man. mow that the Malheur reser vation has been thrown open for settlement the population of this section will increase at a very rapid, rate, and the necessity for mail service will grow proportionately greater. That Lakeview should be tho rjoint from which the route should start there is little question, for the land office be-'ng located here the interest ot that whole section of country demands direct mail communication with this lace. Railroad Meeting. At a meeting of the trustees of tho Palouse and Columbia river railroad company held in Walla Walla on the 14th, resolutions were adopted increasing the capital stock from SI. 000.000 to S3.700.000. The object of this company is to build a rail road from the Sl-mile post on the Northern Pacific easterly to Moscow, with a branch to Farmington. Several miles of grading have been completed ami a lanre force of men is at work grading. The trustees elected C. H. rrcscott. president of the coinnanv: C. J. Smith, vice nresident. (v.ce J. N. Doloh. re. signed;) H. M. Chase, treasurer: Joseph Si mon, secretary, and W, H. Upton, assistant secretary. The Bad and Worthiest are never imitated or counterfeited. This it especially true of a family medicine, and it it positive proof that the remedy imitated is of nie mgnest value. As soon as It had been tested and proved bv the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best and most iuauip mmiiy medicine on eann, many imi tations spring up and began to steal the no tices in which the press and people of the c-iuntry had expressed the merits of H. B., and in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to Use their stuli instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of II. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar stylo to H. B., with variously de vised names in which the word "Hop" or "Hop" were used in a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no mat ter what their style or name is, and (-specially those with the word "Hop" or "Hops" in their name or in anvwav connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits Beware of them. Touch nonn of them. Use nothing but genuine Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the white label. Trust nothing else. Drucuists and dealers are 'warned against dealing in imita tions or counterfeits. Walla Walla Statesman : We learn that tho Assotin country is looming up. and that settlers are fast pouring in to what will prove to bo one of the best pot tions of our Torritory. As a grain and fruit-producing region that section of Uarneld county is second to none. Assotin City, on Snake river, ia the principal landing, and being at the head of navigation, will soon become a place of importance. A good ferry is established there to oonnect with the Idaho side, and Captain Lnwis hat built a boat 100 feet long and 25 feet boam, for the purpose of bringing lime and wood to Lewiston and lai ding below. It is the inten tion to placo a steam engine in the boat at the earliest opportunity, but in ths meantime horses and sails will be used. 'm&4&- LYDIA K. PINKHAM' VEGETABLE COMPOUND.
