Every r.eai'ab'e rran ho wanti employ

are in demand all through the tcwus, where
much bu 1 In g is in piognsa; in end around
this city thousands find work ut goul wages.
Besides tins railioid work U being pushed in
eviry direction, employing 12,000 to 15,000
hands, many i-killed in clianics included. The
paying out of millions for the prosecution of
these enterprises and the numerous other en
terprises and intuetti springing up throui'h
the country that are backed by foreign capital,
and tho millions of inonev brought here and
paid out by immigrants who are settling in
all directions, crea'cs a ti aneial prosp nty
hardly cquall. d in thu or any other country.
Wonowhae a steaiuu from San Francisco
every three da) s. Taking into consideration
those who come by way of I'ugut Sound and
those who tutir tins legion by overland
routes from the South and East, the increase
of nopulat on in tho region north of Califor
nia cannot fall short o' 8,0 0 per month. Our
section is experiencing a 'boom" that exceeds
by far the history of any past year, and will
bo greatly exceeded, again, when the North

Tho weeks of ploasant weather that en
abled farme'is to rcsow their winter ho.it
mid put in consideiablo spring grain besides,
lias boon followed by warm and gvuorous
rams ami everything farmers can desire d.eims
te lm granted tbeui, Ncirlyallaro in good
fix and well satisfied with the prospect. The
condition of the whole l'acilio Northwest is
exceedingly favorable. Crops could not look
in finer condition than the wheat lields Eist
of the C'ase'ades present. Snow protected thu
plant through the cold weather and rpnug
Hooa it already giowiug igoiously. The
present rain e'omes oppoitunely and will bo of
great benefit. It extends to California and
the fall there baa been sullicient to save much
griin that stTiiiid to be in danger from
eliouth. Rams of such plentiful character,
su late in thu seawu, are not usual in that
State. The piospect now is that thu whole
e'oaat will luvo u fair harvest, though the dry
portion! of California may fail of a good yield.
The prewpect Hi that State has very much un
proved within a few days, but it cannot hope
to ritual the harvests of Oregou and Wash
ington. Prices of all soi ts of produce slow; a healthy
condition for producers.
Wheat is easily worth a dollar a bushel,
through tlil valley fur nulling, Seod wheat
hai sold at $1.25 to $1.50 a bushel,
Oats ate firm at "0 eeuU for good feed,
Potatoes are selling at 55 cents to tiO cents

but still piying veil for laising,
Butter still holds at 25 cents to :I0 cunts.

Messrs. Batchelor A Wjlie:
Gent: The ten-foot cut Spring tooth H irrow I bought of
your agent !at Fall I consider tho be ft implement ever used
on a farm in the shape of a cu tieator or I arrow I have used
mine in all way, h th in old, hard ground aud in new sod,
and find it a perfeet success. It is a complete cover for grain,
and will cultivatj ground not plowed for two seasons, from
four to six inches deep. A farmer has no use for any other
harrow or cultivator. This is after eight months' use of this
cultivator. Wry Respectfully,
WILLIAM LEE.

Messrs. Batchelor & Wylie:
Having used your patent Spring Tooth Harrow on the
various kinds of soil, vurying from hard pan to loose moun
tain soil, am fiee to say, that for thoroughly pulverizing
and cleansing the ground it is superior to a'iy implement I
have yet seen, and clogs less than any rigid tooth narrow I
have ytt handled.

Fiom tho San Francisco Commercial JlentUl
of March 22, lSsSIt, we take the following :
There is at this writing ;ry little call for
giaiu eharteiB, while some, half dozen ships
have been chait red to proceed north for coal
at a low rate rather than remain here idle till
harvest. The grain rates for charter are
quito nominal. The tonnage now en the berth
has been reduced to 1:1,000 tons; disengaged,
(iO.000 tons; eu route, 175,000 tens, being a
decrease as compared with sime date last
year of 111,000 tons.
llieru is very little tmsiuoss doing in grain
of any deseiiption, Stocks are running very
luw, aud crop piospeda quite discouragiug.
Wo have had no rain siuco February, but
hoping for the best every day, as this is the
time for equinoctial storms. Tho w riter has
just returned f.om an extended trip through
tho southern tier of lounties, and except
wheie irrigation is resorted to, the growing
grain seieins to be ery unpromising aud of
little worth. Tho farmers thereabouts were
not altogether without hi pe that the latter
rams would give them crop enough for seed,
but of tins wo have many inugiwngs. Fruit
crops an1, however, exceedidgly promising in
all the places visited. As for the citrus fruits,
not more than one-half of tho oranges and
lemons will bo gathered this season, owing to
low piices and want of a vtiug market,
drapes premise an abundant yield. Wheat
has now fail ly advanced to two cents per
pound aud upwards for fancy lots, lhrley

Is superior to any other of this class owing to tho teeth being attached to the lower
more elasticity, malting it more uurauia anu ueuer aeiaptea to general worn.
The cxpeiicnco of tho past three years has demonstrated the fact that no implement in use will so thoroughly cultivate and stir the ground, or prepare so perfect a seed bed, or is so
well adap'e I to covering the seed, as those of tho Strinr Tooth class; hence, it is with the utmost confidence wo offer the Farmers of Oregon a wheel implement which we believe com.
bines more desirable features aud is adapted to a greater variety of soils and larger scope of work than any other Cultivator, Seeder or Drill.
The atlraiitayeii wo claim ar : Lightness of Draft; a Side Adjustment of Frame, by which the teeth are set at any angle for working either hard or mellow soil. A simple de
vice, in combination with the lever, sets am! locks the teeth at any desired depth, and by which they can be easily raised, like the teeth of a hay rake, to discharge traah : with the
two center tee h taken off it U a perirt cultivator for Hops, Corn, Grapes, etc. It is mounted on wheels 48 inches in diameter, with 2 inch tire, bringing tho frame 24 inches
from the ground.
Tho reed hox can bo attached or removed from tho frame by any person in a few minutes. We use the Famous Champion Force Feed, which sows either Wheat, Oats, Birley,
or Flax with uniformity, without cutting or mashing tho grain. The quantity is regulated by a lever within easy reach of tne driver's seat, and registered on the inelex of tho hopper.
A land multure is attache d to ererij Seeder, which marks upon tho dial at the end of the hopper tho number of acres sown. A Grass Seed Sower is also attached when ordered. If
the directions for setting up and operating, w hich come w ith every implement, are carefully followed, it will be sure to do good woik.
