No arrests, It is estimated, says an exchange, that thero are fully 200,000 sheep in Yakina county, which, at the average wool yield for this year of 7 J pounds a head, would amount to 1.450,000 pounds, and at 20 cents per pound, a valuation of $290,000, or from this source alone thero would bo a wealth of about $ S3 per capita in tbo county. EUW and Territorial Hw. Soma voumr mon aro determined to illuminato Alt. Hood this time, as they will take un 100 lbs. of red tiro to be tired oir Fourth of July ovoning. They will starffor tho mountain Friday. The rivers aro nearly on a stand, and it is hoped they will not riso higher.

Tim Proposed Connection of this Com pany at BoNe City Work He-Ciui-Aiiioimt or lluslnesst. William B. Hlco, general travoling agent ot tho Oregon Paclllc, was in tho city Tuesday. Mr. Wee is greatly elated over tho prosiwcts of tho railroad which lm represents. Ho states that work In earnest has begun on tho lino from Albany to Bolso Citv. On Monday tho apparatus and workmen for work be tween Albany and the Santlam wcro taken to tho sceno of oerutlons. Tho road will bo pushed rapidly to comple tion, and will bo built as far as possible before the winter sets in. The greatest difllcnlty in tho construction is the Cas cade mountains. These, however, will not bo so hard nor so expcnslvo to cross as was the Coast range. It will bo ne cessary to eonstruct but two tunnels, ono something ovar two hundred nnd tho second over three hundred feet in length. When Bolso City Is reached, tho Or egon Pacific will then bo joined bv tbo westorn extension of the Chicago A Northwestern. This railroad coriwra tlon, iwsBcssod of great capital and en ergy, is rapidly pushing its raid west, an outlot to the Pacific coast having been deemed by it necessary. When the roads are Joined, this will bo tho shortest trans continental lino by 400 miles. The ad vantage which it will possess over Its rival lines by reason of its shorter length will bo easily apparent. Tho contract for tho construction of tho roundhouse at Albany has been let, and tho car shops, which will also bo situated at that point, will bo built in tho near future. Tho past season's traffic of the Oregon Pacific has been eicelally prosperous. Running a through lino from Portland to San Francisco, by .means of steamboat from Portland to Albany, tho railroad to tho ocean, nnd thon by steamer to San Francisco, a vorv lucrative trade has beon obtained. Tho rate per ton from Portland to this clty--$l.B0 has cut so deonly Into tho trade of tho Oregon & California that tho latter corKratlon lms beon forced In self-protection to roduco its ratu to this city to $2.10 per ton. This reduction, however, has not !cen suffi cient to take from the O. P. any part of its trade. Tho comiotltion of the O. It. A N. boats, howover, is lively. Hut tho Oregon Purine's boats aro of such light draught that tho company confidently expects to run tho Bentloy and, if neces sary, the Three Sisters, between Portland ami AiD.my tuo summer through, with out interruption of traffic by reason of low water. Tliu amount of business dono by tho company during tho past season Is sur prising. About 1,500,000 bushels of wheat wore shipped to San Francisco for ono linn mono, besides a very largo amount of froiisht both to and from that and other points. That this road will eventually command by far tho greater portion of tho carrying tor this ontlro valley, abovo Portland, thero is no doubt. Tin: Kaii.uo.U) Commission. Tho rail road commission continued in session yes terday. So far, no business of any Im lortaueo has been transacted. Tho board will to-day leave for Hubbard, and will from thut point proceed to inspect tho road IkkI of tho narrow gaugo, a rojiort that tho road was in bad condition hav ing reached its cars. Tho commission will not meet again hi Salem until July 5th. Tho following letter in reference to a communication sent to Wallis Nash, vice president of tho Oregon Pacific, touching certain bridges which wcro re ported to bo in bad condition, and which Mr. Nash answered us stated, has been transmitted to William Hoag, general manager of the Oregon Pacific: "Tho board of railroad commissioners desires to bo informed if tho lettor addressed to It by Mr. Wallis Nash, 13th Inst., uud published by him in the Orogonlanof tho 12th Inst., Is intondod by your company to assuro the ourd of compliance with its recommendations in regard to tho temjwrary brldgos on your lino." New Hon: Woiikh. Thero has beon formed in Portland an incorporation whoso stockholders aro Messrs. W. S. Ladd, C. II. Uwis, II. V. Corbett, Hen ry Failing. Donald Macleay, and W. B. Ayer, which shall bo known as the Port land Cordago company, with a capital stock of 1100,000. All preliminaries have been urranged and tho work of building will commenco before Ainmst 1st. Tho company has bought tho machinery of tuo aioiboii uortiago company, which was burnt out last summer. Tho capac ity o( tho now works will bo about one- third larger than tho Molson company. Planktaiiv CoNJUNUTio.v.-AtlO o'clock on the evening of July 4th tho radiant ovenlng star, Venus, us she moves east ward from the sun, approaches very near tho first-magnitude Mar, Hegulus, and will bo in conjunction. Tint celestial nlrturo will be interacting to witness. Tho western sky will bo the we no ot tho siHictaclo.
