Tin sum of $90,000 has been subscribed
to the stock of a company which is to com
mence the manufacture of wool on Pugot
Sound.
Dorino late session ot the Circuit Court
-in Yamhill county, says the Review of the 20th.
the Court House took fire. But little damage
was dose before the fire waa extinguished.:
Nkw Town. A luwu site has been surveyed
at White's Bluffs; below Rriest Rapids.' It is
proposed to make It the depot for the Mon
tana trade fiom this side.
Thb Fast Fukiuut Link. We refer our
readers to the advertisement ol DuRiMl& Co.'s
xa 1'ieigui ijiiie. tins line tuts oecome a
fixed institution, and , affords to shippers of
valuable packages, and articles requiring des
patch in their tnausmission, an excellent op
portunity It is an American proverb that
."Time is money," nnd it follows that by sav
ing til first weo e making the last. This
has been proven by many of those who have
forwarded ibeir freight by the Fust Line.
Tin Fastokks to Tits North. For weeks
past large bands of sheep,, t-nttlo and horses
have been crossing the Columbia River at this
point, to bo dr'uven to the rich pastures on the
lakima, Attanum and. Keetalas. This is
move in the rgtit direction, and will tend to
bring the district to the north of us into no
lice, amongst stock-growers. Each drover
and stock-grower who winters his stock on
those lands will become a representative of
the interests of the section, which only needs
to-be well known to be settled with a suffi
ciency of the right kfnd of peop'e
i
TIoMtciDE. By a gentleman just down from
Walla Wall,,we learn, that a man was killed
four miles above that town, some days since,
by a man iiftwd Boise. It seemn. that there
was a dispute between the parties nbont cer.
tain cattle breaking into a'field, and the man
who was killed assaulted Boise with an axe
who, in turn', threw a flat-iron at the man,
which struck bim on the head, and instantly
killed Mm. Boise mine to town and delivered
' himself up to the authorities. He is an el
derly man, of great Btreegth, and forbearing
disposition, and was probably justified in the
act.
Insults to
Ukspkctible Females The
practice of insulting respectable females, in
Portland, has some recent examples. Some
disgusting- ruffian, it appears, was guilty of
going into a private house and making insult
ing advances to a lady of modest demeanor
aud unquestioned purity. The Oregonum
comments on the affiir in proper terms, but
appears at a loss to abate the evil. The whole
matter is easily solved; the next time any
thing ot-the kind occurs, let the proper pro-
tector ol the lady "go-after" the blackguard
with a double-barrelled shot g.iui and kill him.
As for those who have been guilty in. the past,
give them notice- to leave, or fix.lbem in the
same way.
Ins Flint District, Owyhbb. The lodes
in Fl nt District, which 1 located south-west
of Silver City,. Owyhee;, are r.ipidly lising
. in popular, ostim ition.. They are much
larger ihnn thoso of War Eaglo Mountain,
a-od. appear to. form vitb greater icgiTThrity.
Their general, direction is nearly north and'
south ; their width from two to fifteen feet,
and have a moderate diu-totlie en6t. Among
vthe principal lodes are the U S. Uraint, Mou-
itor, Polar Star, POmpey, Twilight,, Peace
- Domocrat, Harriet Newnll, Leviath m, Ilisi;ig
Star, Excelsior 15 lipse, Gem, Boyd & Kel cr,
Chrysopolis, and' Great Mouul.'. Iu tho mut
ter of acto-sibility, good pasturngo, abund
ant fuel and; good water privilcgs, this dis
trict Is unexcelled.. Gold and. silver are
both found in the toe It, wi h a largo predoin
inance of the lattor. Ten tons of the rock
from the Rising Star were impcrfcotly roast
ed and worked' by Messrs.. Moore & Fogus at
their works on- the Morning Star, 'uiui tho
yield was $200 ,o. ton from ivvernge rock.
This lode is twelve feet in width. The Gem
lode is from eight to ten feet in thickness
and some pretty thorough tests indicate thai
' its rock will pay from 45 to 500 a lotv.
Many of the owners lit the dis net aro very
widely going to work on their lode., proba
bly thinking that il the r property will sell
veil, it win pay mom well to keep it.
MORE PEOPLE WANTED.
It is a common practice of people, whose
views of matters and things are limited to
tho sphere of their own pursuits and selfish
interests, to say theio are too many people,,
wherever and whenever times become dull
in any particular locality. An honest miner
will speak well of a mining camp in general,
" but there are too many people here ; a
farmer is discouraged becati-e "everybody
has takon to farming," and so on through
out the whole range of industrial pursuits.
Still another class is found, which declares
that cheap labor is the only panacea for hard
times, and for that reason favors imm gru
tion. Men of this kiud belong to the admin
istrative orderof geniuses, and prepare to take
upon themselves tho managemcut of tho im
migrants labor, immediately on his arrival.
Thousands of rich mining claims and quartz
ljides aro now held in this country by "re
presentation," against i lie ai rival of cheap
labor. Between the jeal usy of the opera
tive miner, who looks upon the poorer mines
as his prospective li el t of operations, and
the ridiculous speculations of waiters on
Providenco, who propose to prey upon the
ncccs-lties of the immigrant, the country
languishes in its trade aud productions.
The immense areas of our unoccupied pisto
rul and agricultural lnnd3 wo e certainly in
tended by nature for tho u cs of man. Tho
gold and silver in our mines wus certainly
designed to be extracted and put in circula
tion, and common sense indicates that the
wealth extracted from the earth w 11 find its
best investment iu flocks and herds to eat up
the grass which annually decays upon our
mountain slopes and prairie table lauds.-
The fact of it is, that wo need population
more than nil else. We do not nee-1 cheap
labor, but abundant labor, und the kiud suit
ed to particular employments. We need di
versified labor, and by a proper distribution
of the employments of life, the Columbia
Basin can support thousands of human be
ings, where it now sustains hundreds, in the
one frenzied pursuit of sudden wealth. This
our touutry will do by properly direc ed
labor, and the thousands can live with a de
gree of cotn'ort and affluence hi herto un
known to thchttnd eds, and the average earn
ings and a cumulation's of the people will
bo greater by far than nt tho present.
There 1b employment in this coun'ry for
all who will start out with the intention to
permanently reside, in it, nnd when tho idea
of settling down enter the tnin Is ot th.ius
amis now maddened by tho excitement of
cold-hunting, they will not only benefit
thcm clves thereby, but dcvclope the means
whereby other thousands can he profitably
and steadily employed. Experience teaches
the easy lesson that those who remain in one
place and pursue a business of their own
choice, enjoy life boner," ccnmulute moro
of the goods of this worl-1, live longer and
in evi-ry way have tho best of those who
pursue on-opposi'e course.
If he people now principally in'erested in
in the g: owth of .the country will fix their
fortunes upon its future, they will, by that
very mentis, have mnuo u commencement in
inducing others to come aud do as they have

Chioo Routm. We publish, for the benefit '
of the public on the Columbia River, the fol
lowing from the Owyhee Avalanche of tho
11th instant :
Arnold's train arrived here last week from
California, over the Cliico route, with sixteen
thousand pounds of flour. There has been
brought into this place and Silver City, during
the past summer, two hundred and eleven
thousand pounds of flour, over the Chioo
r une, and fifty thousand pounds of barley.
Thirty-five days has been the usual time con
sumed iu making the trip wi h ox teams this
season, but wben the road is thoroughly
packed, and becomes hard by constant travel,
U will be made in much l ss time. ' Enough
has been demonstrated this season to show
that by another year Owyhee will be supplied
direct from California, with jhnir, meal, bar
ley, baeon, etc , at lower rates than the same
articles can possibly be supplied from any
other source. In tact, the products of the
Sacramento valley will entirely control the
markets of Owyhee by another summer.
