WILLAMWTTK FA K MU -f MiTI.A v 1 1 (, ON JUNE 22 13. STATE & TERRITORIAL NEWS. The boily of Walter Pohl, recently drowneil at the mouth of the Columbia, hasbeeu found on the Quinalt reservation coast. The Colfax Vidette calls for the purchase of a steam fire engine. A Walla Walla dispatch of June 15th cay Grain in all parts of Ensttrn Urecon and Washington looks well. In a few places late sown would be better for rain, but tail sown never looked better. The new town of Ad ams alone, in Umatilla county, will ship 10, 000 tons if tne railroad gets there on time. The Chronicle of Spokane Falls, is the latest new daily icceired. It is a good local paper. A military company has been formed at Waitsburg, to be known as the Waitiburg Guards. Snohomish county has $10,132 in the treas ury. Machinery for the flooring mill at Al powai is being purchased. A correspondent of the Spokane Chronicle desires that Hangman creek shall bo called by its proper name, which he saj s is Latah. Wild Rose valley is on the proposed line of railroad from Spokane Falls to Fort Colville. The valley lies part in Stevens and part in Spokane county. This valley is well watered, the Little Spokant forms the eastern bound ary, the Spokane where it sweeps to the north, tor.ns the western boundary, and two or three little creeks traverse it in many di rection'. Lewiatoo Id. ho News: One of the Oregon short Liine surveyors arrived in town on AJon day from Engineer Clark's company, and in formed us that they ha i located the line of tne road on the Idaho side of the river for a distance of ciuhty-one miles below Burnt river, and that Engineer Moscrip was locat ing the road up the river, aud that the two parties were not more than eighteen miles apart. The more the engineers see of the Snake river route tne more they are impressed with its advantages over all other routes. There it not the slightest doubt but that tne road will be built down snake river at an early date. The engineers are nuite confi dent of the result, and freely express the opinion that the work of grading will actually ue uuuimeuueu a-b jjbwisuju hub tail. vvnen the road is located, both parties will rendez vous at Lewuton and fit out for continuing tne survey down anaKe river. John Price is under arrest at Albany for setting tiro to a vacant house belonging to lNtmrod frice. . Jacob Whitaker died in Benton county the 9th msr., aged To years, lie was a native of Switzerland, and came to Oregon in 1853 from Ohio. Word was brought into the city last even ing that one of the fine twins of J. M. Brown, of Si verton, aged about G years, had acci dently shot and fatally wounded the other. The particulars, as near as we could learn them, are these : Mrs. Brown had come to Salem with a party of friends to witness the tournament contest", snd had left her boys with a neighbor. While playing around, one of them picktd up an old fowling-piece, and in handling it it was discharged, and the con tents entered the body of the other, fatally wounding him The messenger who brought the sad intelligence took the distracted mother back to that home where the had left her babes a few short hours before, well and happy and lull of glee at their promise. merry holiday. aaicm maietman. About 100,000 sheep have passed throfigh union comity wis season ior montasa. The Union county Record says : From farmers living in the valley we learn that there is n serious apprehension of dimvge to crops on account of dry weather. Although rain at this time would do no harm, it is not absolutely essential, as the ground la suffi ciently moist for the production of good crops. The Jacksonville Senoinel says : Fred. Barneburg, of Eden precinct, a short time since sheared twenty-six head of graded Merino sheep and got 391 pounds of wool, or an average of over 15 pounds per head. One two-year old Spanish Merino yielded 23 pound). Mark Conger, of the same place, sheared a Spanish Merino buok, getting 271 pounds of wool. The last-named thinks he made a good investment wben he introduced theso sheep in this valley, not lone since. as this immense yield of wool will go to prove. Tha Seattle Herald publishes a long des cription nf the Smoqualmie Falls. They are 287 feet high. Townships 37, 33 and 39 north, in What com county, are teing surveyor, aeventj thousand acres will be ihmwn upon the mar ket, and it is estimated that there is ten mil' boa feet of good lumber available. Artesian Weill. The Winnemucca Silver State contains an account of the organization of an artesian well company. This company has been organized for the purpose of thoroughly testing the practicability of obtaining water from arte sian wells in Nevada. Toe company propose to first sink a well at or near Winnemucca, with a view of supplying the town and its mills with an abundant supply of water. The capital stock of the company is $20,000, divided into twenty thousand shares of one dollars. The Biker City Reveille says : We can see no reason why a corporation of this kind would not he a benefit to Baker county. There are many thousand acres of rich farm ing and miueral lands in Baker county that are almost worthless at present, owing to scarcity of water. With arte-ian wells at hand this difficulty would be obviated and open np the best part of our county. It is an experiment that no one or half a dozen per sona wish to undertake themselves, on ac count of the expense and hazard, but all are directly interested in knowing whether or not artesian wells will be a success in the coun try. If they are a success the benefits will be incalculable to the whole country; and if the farmers, stock men and business men of this county would take shares, organize a com pany and test the matter, the enterprise might proceed, and if it should be a failure, the company loss would be felt by none. We invite iii-cuision on this question. Let us have water. AUaUaOrass. The Dalles Mountaineer says : Hon. W. Lair Hill brought into our sanctum last Thursday a bunch of alfalfs, which is the tallest we have seen. The stalks measure 45 inches, and are of good, hea'tby growth. Mr. Hill has twenty acres of this grass growing on hill land, south of this city, which gives a splendid appearance. Alfalfa for feeding pur pose is not excelled by any grass, and it at tain grind maturity on any of our lands. Cattle and horses fatten on it, and hogs pre fer it to other provender. It is well adapted to ou' oil, and il our farmers desire to male enilag4 i f it nothing better can be found. The digestive organ weakened and worn oat by u-i'W ci'lurfo nvdicines, restored by osier Brown's Iron Bitter. l. a a These were tho letters on badees worn by a number of well-known ladies i'f S ilem on the day of the Fireman's Tourn ment at that place. The "LadicV Coffee Club" is one of the institutions of Salem, and being invited by one of these ladi8, accimpanied her to the hall occupied by the club. The object of this club is to furnish hot coffee and other re freshments to firemen while at work during a fire, and to serve it after all is over. It is a sort of effort in the temperance cause, offering a rend, zvous or place for visit and conversa tion after a fire, when otherwise there would be only the salron to go to. Our boys are prou 1 of their club, ami it has really had a moat exo-lleni iuBuet ce on the fireman, mos of vh"m are oung men and need this thoughtful comfort. At the halt uefojnd long tables loaded with g'od things, where about four hundred had a'rtady lunched, most'y guests who had come from all the towi s in the valley to attend this ga-hering of firemen. There was cold chicken, ham anil ither meat", bread, bicuit. salads and hot cnllee. Ment of this was furnished by the ladies of Salem; there wire quantities still left for the evening a coup'e uf men on band to serve it when cilled for. The President of the club, Mrs. J. Burns, nee Miss Wald ', thinks the influence ha been strong for tern perance, and feels that the trouble is well repaid. Everything is constantly in readiness at the hall to light the tin-, furnishing the hot beverage at almost a minute's notice after the tap of the ore bell.

The heavy immigration and tonnage to Ore gon and Washington Territory during the past month has continued unabated. Twenty three steamships of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, Pacific Coast Steam ship Company and Oregon Improvement Company have brought from San Francisco during that time 5,170 passengers and 28,650 tons of freight. This gives a total since Jan. 1st of 25,562 passengers and 11,688 tons of freight, and shows an increase of 23 per cent, on passenger business, and 65 per cent, on freight ovrr the same period last year. As suming the number of pissengers returning to San Francisco to represent the transient travel, we have a bona tido immigration by ocean thus far in 1883 of 17,083 soul, to which may be added the large number team ing in from the East.

Joseph Watt, himself an early pioneer, has been negotiating with the Northern Pa cific R. E. Co. for terms by which the pio neers can go Eist and return next fall. The proposal seems to be that the company will take them to St. Paul aud back t o hun dred to eneaoe pjssace for seveutv-five dol- lars. What the cost of going East from there will be is yet linger tain. When we learn the particulars we will give them and inform persons interested with whom to correspond for rjasaase. Smcn the foreeoins was written we see it stated that the pioneers declined to accept the ottered terms, claiming that the California moneers received better tern.s Irom the Cen tial and Union Pacific. The N. P. Co. have received a letter from the Central Pacific Company that denies this; says that over 200 pioneers went East in 1870 by excursion rates and paid $100 each to Omaha and return, against the $75 for which the N. P. Co. offers to take the same numuer to at. raul and re turn. We see no reason to doubt the truth of this statement. The proposal for the pio neers to go East together is one that should be encouraeed, and we hope some arrange ment can be made with the company that will accomplish it. .

In this case good advice same just in time to save tne man. but well Among the many intelligent farmers of the Willameite valley we are pleased to refer to Maj, Jas. Bruce, now residing on his farm some three miles northwest of Olencoe, in Washington county. Maj. Bruce and Cap tain Apperson are considered pioneers in the introduction of Jersey cattle in Oregon. Major Bruce has now on his home farm five thorough-bred Jersey cows. From the milk obtained from these, together with that nf a half Jersey, he makes 11 to 12 pounds of fine gilt edged butter daily, besides having milk and cream for family ue. Gtlt-Kdee, a small Jersey in the lot, one year and nine months old, gives 15 pound ot tine rich milk at a milking. Butter-Cup, another of his Jerseys two years old last September, is also a valu able cow. During one week in January last a test was made of her butter making quali ties, when there was made 13$ pounds ot fine Kilt edge butter from her milk of a week's milking. As a representative to the last leg islature from Washington county, Major Bruce labored faithfully in the interests of his constituents and of the people of the State at large. He is recognized as a man of much intelligence and anility oy an wnoKnownim. Farm and Dairymnn. Cextlemek Your Hod Bitters have been of jrreat value to me.
