THE" WOOL OROvrUG PROSPECTS
OK THE COLUMBIA 11ASI.. (
The demand for wool used in American
manufactures is so rapidly on the increase,
that the increased production of sheep car
rying fino qualities of wool' has become a
question of leading importance. The ne
cessity of supplying vast armies of men
with woolen clohe bus had a marked effect
in stimulating tbe erection of woolen manu
factures in tbe last four years. The lack of
of cotton has also had much to do with tbe
increased use of woqlen poods. It appears
that in 1860 tbe United States consumed
about 90,000,000 pounds of -wool; and in
1864 tbe consumption had increased to 160,.
009,000 pounds. Of the 90,000,000 used in
1800, there were 55, 01)0, 000 pounds produced
at home, and 35,0u0,000 was imported.! In
1864, 56,000,000 pounds were importedullT
Ii-4, (100,000 of pounds were produced 'at
home; which indicates an increase in four
years of ne&ily 100 per cent, in the wool
clip of the country. The returns tor 1800
include .the products of all the States, and
those of 1860 only comprise the yield of tbe
non-seceding States.
There, are, in all, probably 45,000,0'0
heep in the United States, of which Caii
forum hai 2,&u0,00i) and Oregon 250,000,.
Tbe pastures of California are already over
crowded with hor.-es and neat stock, and
the increase of sheep, or of other kinds
of live stock, will have to stop. Tbe
enpneity of the Will-miette Valley for the
subsistence of more than 1,000,000 sheep is
questionable, and before that number ia
reached, tbe far-sighted sheep rasors oi
Western Oregon will begin, to branch their
flocks and occupy tbe now untenanted prai
ries of tbe cent al plain of the Columbia
Basin. Pounded on the east by tbe-Di iter
Root Mountains west, by the Cascades'
Range south, by the Blue Mountains, and
north by the International Boundary Line,
i-i an area of 450 miles from east to west,
and 250 miles from north to south, compris
ing 112,500 square miles. Ninety-nine acre
in a bundred or this almost imperial domain T
nro cove-ed either with a magnificent growi li I
of unlnod grasst-s, or occupied by rich,
t-ut limited, pieces of alluviul grounds. The
narrow, neb streets of bottom
bound Itiettn thousand creeks
lands wbh-4i
and rills of
i lus central plain, aflo'd to the provilent
stock raiser the means of producing an
abnn-lance of tbe necessaries of life, for
even a latge population, and of securing the
safety in winter of all the live stock wbicb
the upland) will support. The provident
band of nature has so' divided these ltnds
bo wt-cn pastures and fields, that a quarter
section of bottom laud will control on an
average ten times a much upland. It seems
as if tho country was fo shaped as to force
the inhabitants into a particular branch "of
production, and to . secure, by tbe irreversi
ble law; of its topography, a fair distribution
of its advantages. .
The course of events plainly indicates that,
at no remote periodytbese pastures are to be
covered with flocks xti herda. The rapid
descent of tbe 'streams, from the adjacent
mountains, furnishes rea'ly to- the hand of
man-tbe power, which needs only tbe appll
cation of human skill, to be utilized to tbe
ndvan age of innukiud. The moderate, but
posi'ive climate, promises the inhabitants of
tbis country a degree of heal b,.and conse
quent longevity, unequalled in. any other
country, and tbe unapproachable grandeur
of the Scenery of mountains an plains
clothes life with' a romance which lends at
traction Iq the meaner employments. Tbe
manu net-uriflg interest',, growing out of
the pa-toral pursuits of a large population,
will have the world for' a market for their
fabiics. While the purely agricu'tural dis
tricts may be depressed1 by tbe lack of a mar
ket, or by difficulties of transportation, tbe
tight fabrics of the woolen mills can be
cheaply transported to every harbor on tbe
surface of- the globe, and will bave the ad
vantage of being made from wooV cheaply
iruuu vi nuii suuuuuiicniiy worked, In a
country where tbe oost ot generous diot is
next to noiutng.
Tbi Sao Francisco Flag sayi that there is
a great difference- between reharbihtting
disorganised pair ef pantaloons and1 recon
structing a disorganized Union. . That Is
true; but it does not prove tha,t a mar who
can do tbe 8rst well, will necessarily fait to

letter tr$ tbe Vancouver Rtgitter, from Olym-
pia, contains tue mowing in relation to of
ficials in Wasbingn. Territory i Tbe bick
erings, quarrels and contentions so prevalent
among them, seem to have subsided for a
time, and will probably beNliscontined until
another Congressional canvass pprochefr.
Governor Pickering, 'who ,1s said to have
sailed from Portland last Tuesday, has not

charging the duties of Governor. Tbo office
of Surveyor General, made vacant by the
death of Dr. Henry, has not yet been filled.
It was understood that, Francis Henry bad
been appointed, but now it seejns that bis
appointment was revoked by tbe President.
