The Sunday Law. There is a rich streak of humor in tbo Sunday Law, if it is viewed from a certain stand-point. The proverbial indolence of certain elements in tbe popula tion of Oregon, gives a strikingly facetious turn to the section forbidding secular labor; wbon we consider that this part of the peo ple are not likely to break the law on Sun day or any other day of the week by secular labor. A Tuesday Law would interfere neither more nor less than the Sunday Law with this class of people. Detained. The passengers who started np yesterday morning on the Tenino, were ... i i i . inL.

TOO MANY. IRONS IN THE FIRE. The very important gold discoveries of the past year are so many in number, so exten sive and so rich, that it puzzles the pros pector to choose in' what direction he Bhould take bis chances. Connected with these dis coveries there are so many routes of travel, steamboat enterprises and road improve ments, that it seems impossible Sot a man to exactly make up his mind as to where he will make bis fortune next year. The two most extensive fields of operations are tbe mines of Montana and those of the Columbia. Of the respective merits of these two countries the publie know, as much as the newspapers have published, which, although enough as to quantity is rather deficient in quality, in this far, that while every word may be true, there are many others equally true which JJ Q J, J J) Y GIFTS' uuvv never uccu turn. mo wuuie uuiu la very important to a proper understanding of affairs, and most old miners can very easily see that there may be a wide difference in hearing a part and then bearing tbe whole truth in relation to any gold field If an adventurer, who intends to go to one or tbe other of these sections the coming year, will carefully examine their respective merits, be will find himself in the position of Yellow-plush, when seated between the two beautiful ladies, " feclink fur all the world like a donkey between two bundles of 'ay." After balancing all arguments which can be offered in favor of either, he will arrive at the conclusion that gold is plenty in both places, and very coarse. When that is said, 1 1 -A ... .. ! U I. ..

To do this, it is required that all should take an interest in bringing to light the information obtained by actual explora tions of tbe interior. Tbe practical Bug estions of men who have traveled over and prospected through a country are worth in finitely more than tbe speculative theories of men whose observations are boonded by tbe towns fn which they live. In this country, information is too often derived from rr.en who have no practical knowladge of mining, and whose jndgmont in regard to interior communication is of bnt little value.
