SUXMY HOMING, MARCH 25, 18CC.
The steamers on the Willamette are

larger than ever before.

Passengers to tbo Union State
Convention, at Corvallis, will be car

Committed-. A negro charged with
enlioing little girls into bis shanty,
and there indecently handling them,
was yesterday committed by the City
Recorder to tbo County jail to await
his trial at the next term of the Cir
cuit Court.
Some of the friends of Gen. Meagher
think the lately published speech, at
tributed to him, is a base fabrication.
Tbey claim that it is entirely unlike
him, both in sentiment and style. We
hope this may bo true, but the evi
donee of its genuineness is rather for1
midablo.

V XUE train down irom Celilo on
.Friday night last, ran into a band of
loose mules, about throe miles above
town, killing one and wounding three
others. At the time ot the accident
the train was under fuff headway, bav
fng on five cars and running on a down
grade tbe males were not seen until
the train was nearly upon them, and
then only by the locomotive's lantern
" shining their eyes." All tho brakes
were immediately put on, but were
not sufficient to atop the impetus of
the train in. time to prevent the.acci
From the Idaho Statesman of March
13th, we cull the following items :
The process of thinning out the fam
ily of JLo, hereabouts, has commenced
in good earnest. Report was current
on the streets Sunday afternoon that
there were fifteen "good Indians"
rendered permanently peaceable, up
tbo river, near the mouth of Moore's
croek. From all we could learn, we
think it is true. One man said be
saw six bucks lying still in one stack
and further deponent sayeth not
Alturas County News. Tbe Ern
piro State is a new discovery in the
Yuba district, which gives promise of
being one of the big things ot that
country. Some men built a cabin nnd
in digging for clay to build the china
ney, struck the lodge. They have it
four feet wide without roachtng the
opposite casing, and the rock is sprin
kled with visible gold.
Dr. Harris cleaned tip $5,000, the
product of twelve days' run. Rasey
Biven has reaohed tbe depth of two
hundred and twenty. five feet with bis
tunnel. Snow at Rocky Bar is about
five feet deep, and molting.
They have hud a littlo jumping and
shot gun possession up there, after the
style of tbe Poorman, last fall. Orig
inal claimants of tbe allowed the
time to " represent" it, to nearly run
out, when other parties jumped a por
tion of tbo ground. Original' holders
commenced work, relying upon shot
guns for defense. Next day jumpers
advanced with superior force and more
numerous shot-guns, nd drove away
the first party ; and so matters stand
at present.
Messrs. Jacobs and Clemens came
down from tbe Bar, arriving yester
day, wert obliged to come over half
way on loot, lhey believe it will be
a month yet before animals can go in.
Most articles ot provisions are in suffi
cient supply to last that length of
time, 'limes are dull and many are
talking of going to Blackfoot.
Wants Protection. jDdee IJiebv. of Rub-r
City, writing from tbe East says : " I saw
Mai. Bidwell when in Washington, and he
says there Bbn.ll be a line of ttnges running
Irom Chico to Ruby City this summer if he
lives." Tbe Mnjor is thoroughly interested
n the matter, and has been for over a rear,
and there is every reason to bope that a mail
contract will be let for the rouie at ru early
day. mil ot want use are stage lives and
contracts if the Indians be not Quieted?
That regiment of troops whiling away the
time at San Francisco are Heeded up this
way. The devilish red skins are thoroughly
hostile through tho whole country be
twecn here and tbe Sacramento river, and
wo ao assure everybody Interested that very
little can bo accomplished in the war ot
staging until lhey are thoroughly cleaned
out. Bettor take a square practical view of
tbe- case and go to worK at it in earnest.
Idaho Statesman, 13th mst.
Last fall wben the Oregon Caralrr and
Washington Territory Infantry, stationed at
Camp Alvord, Camp Lyon and other places-
soma ot us were ordered away, we predicted
just tbe Btate ot things that now exists hero
that in tbo absence of troops tbe Indians
would make tbe country, not only uninhab
itable,.but impassible this-spring,, and they
nave done it most euectually. Tbe muster
ing out of those troops was nothing wrong
in itself, but it was very bad policy to do it
at tho time it was done. It was, all things
considered, about the most stupid blunder
ever commuted in tbis military district. We
uggest again- that If Ueneral Halleck has a.
surplus of men At Camp Union or Rincou
Point, tboy can do the country good' service
np this way. And the sooner they come tbe
better. Idaho atataman, lorn mtt.
Exactly I and the same is true, only more
so, of our road to Canyon City, over which
we expect soon to have a Mail Line.
A petboe,ewm companyof New York
have granted permission to a steam
engine company to apply Steven's
apparatus for burning crude petroleum
lor me generation ot stoam. it is
claimed that tbis method causes per
fect combustion, and leaves no- resid
uum, aud that tbe boiler of an engine
rated at 19-horse power will not re
quire over five quarts-of crude petro
leura per day.
The Lincoln House in Portland hag changed
hands.- Messrs. T.J. and' CM, Carter are

Opportunities for the Investment
op Capital. It should not bo sops
posed that mines and mining offer the
only opportunities for making fortunes
in this Territory. There are many
other ways of investing money which
should be noticed. There are now ex
collent opportunities for starting fount
dries and machine shops at Virginia,
Helena, Blnckfoot and Bannack; and
any such establishments would huve
all they wanted to do, and very high
prices for their labor. A plumber
would Endconstont work, and material
is now plentifully produced in. the
Territory; Agriculture and stock rnis'
ing offer huge profits. Droves oj cattle,
cows especially, will yield a largo re
turn, to a Western fiirmer, where beef
sells readily at twenty cents per pound,
and pasture ot tbo nnest kind can be
had for nothing. As for the raising of
grain ond vegetables, it need only be
said that wheat will surely fetch $10
per'bushel ; that the soil is very rich,
nd irrigation a matter ot very little
labor. Potatoes, cabbago ond turnips
by the pound, about as much as they
do by the bushel in Illinois and the
rural parts of tho Western States; nnd
the profits on a cargo of good seed
wheat, oats, barley or peas, from Iowa,
Canada or Minnesota, would bo a for
tune. The manufacture of agricul
tural implemen's would also pay ama
zingly well, nnd for such implements
there would be a constant demand. A
few men understanding chemicul tan.
ning, and coming provided with tho
necessary toots and drugs, would make
money as fast as they wanted. Those
are only a few of tbe ways of amassing
wealth, but there are millions ot dollars
n them beyond a peradventnre. Tho
only thing to bo noticed is that the
first comers will make the most money.
