Several resolutions were read aud discussed at length, among which a resolution calling a celebration by ibe various lodges in tbe county on the 3d of July 1869, at Dallas, was adopted. Motions prevailed that the W C. T. and W. V. T. of each Lodge act as a committee to conduct the ' exercises on that occasion ; that each lodge be required to furnish an appropriate banner. A committee, composed o f one member from each Lodge, was appointed to make arrange- inents in their respective Lodges for appropri ate music. 2 O' clock P. M .— Bro. George, G. W. C.

It is to be finished and ready for use by October, 1870. ated. Tbe Courier says that at McMinville there are eight new houses ia process o f construc tion attbis time, and quite a number o f persons hauling lumber with which to build, I. O. G . T . O ur A dvertisers .— The most enterprising business men are always able to sell goods cheaper than their neighbors. The reason is, they advertise judiciously. There is a popular fallacy that the man who advertises has to add the cost to the price of his wares to save him self. Nothing of the kind; he can afford to sell his goods cheaper than his neighbor who thinks himselt and his business well enough known for this reason: advertising increases the Dumber of bis customers, and in proportion the amount of his sales, so that he can realize more from a small profit than by keeping up prices and making slow sales. The cost of the advertising is not added to tbe price of the goods, but is deducted from the large profits resultii g from an increase of business. We therefore wish our r aders to give close atten tion to tbe advertisements in to-day’s issue. The only boats now running on the Upper Willamette are the Reliance, Fannie Patton and Echo, the Active and Succeee hiving gone to the boneyard and the Albany into the dry dock. The Commercial says: “ The contract for the iron work on the contemplated brick hall to be shortly erected by the Odd F, Hows’ Asso ciation of this city, has been awarded to tbe Willamette Iron Works. The excavation has been let to Mr. Perry Baker. The brick work will be performed by workmen hired by the day, and will be under the superintendence of Mr- J. M. Cay wood. As soon as the incumbent buildings have been removed, the excavation will be commenced, so that by tbe first ot Juno workmen can commence laying the brick.” The frame for the flouring mill in the course of erection at Wheatland, Yamhill county, is already up, and the roof is now being shingled. The mill will be 33x45 feet, three stories high, tbe ridge of the roof being 54 feet from the ground. It will have two run o f stones for flour and one for feed. The mill will be com pleted by about the 1st of September, at a cost of from $15,000 to $20,000. It is being built by Messrs. M. B. Hendricks A Mark Sawyer, of Wheatland, and Mr. Win. Miller, of Salem. At the annual meeting o f the members o f the Washington County Agricultural Society held at Hillsboro, April 10th, the following persons irere elected managers for the ensuing year: W. A. Milts, James Imbrie, W. G. Scoggin, Robert Imbrie, J. D. Merryman, T. G. Naylor, T. D Humphreys, S. J. Stott, and Isaac Butler. W. A. Milts was elected President, and J. D. Merrj man. Treasurer. The 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th days of October were appointed as the time for holding the next Fair, at Hillsboro. They have added to the premium list a handsome premium for the best velocipedist. A petition for tbe pardon of Nelson Ilaux- hurst is being ciri uluted in Salem by his lather. He was sentenced to ten years in the peniten- tiary for manslaughter. Many of the most substantial citizens of tbe place have signed the petition. From the Vnioniet: Messrs. Roork, Witten A Miller have got their engine for the flouring mill set, and connected with the boiler by a steam pipe 230 feet iu length. The steam was turned on yesterday evening and the engine limbered up. Everything works to a charm, bet ter than usual for a new engine. It will not be long before tbe company will be making flour. The 0. C. R. R. Company, East side, have now two 4 horse teams, and three teams of four yokes of oxen each, employed in distributing ties along the line ot the road from Mill No. 2, to Portland. As soon as the track is laid to the mill the ties will then be distributed by cars made for that purpose. The ties for fifty miles hare been cut at Mill 2, and until such time as it may be necessary to go ahead again, the mill will remain idle. Mr. Failing, says the Oregonian, has recently received several tons of iron from San Fran cisco, rolled from pigs shipped from Oswego, Oregon. Iron workers speak o f it as excellent in quality. It has been noticed beretotore that the Oregon iron was rather tough for castings, but this is a quality very de-irable in wrought iron. It will doubtless take a front rank amung all brands for blacksmiths’ use. Col Hudnutt informs the Oregonian that he received a dispatch from the Union Pacific Railroad Compauy, ordering him to return to Salt Lake immediately, f< r tbe purpose of tak - ing control of that road. T h isorder,of course, means an abandonment of further survey on the Columbia River branch for 'he present, attributable, of course, to Grant’s opposition to any further aid to railroads. A Land and Loan bank is about being estab lished iu East Portland by J. B. Stevens, Esq., and Dr. Loryea, to loan parties money to build houses on their property in that locality. U. E. Hicks, has retired from the local de partment of the Herald, and is succee ed by A. N oltner, formerly of the Salem Review. Mr. Hicks goes to Washington Territory. The Commercial says that five families from Polk county passed through Portland last week on their way “ the plains across” to “ America” —a case of retrogression. The Entcrpriee says there is a ledge of fine porcelain clay within three miles of Oregon City, on the Clackamas, which is scarcely dis tinguishable from the finest quality of English clay. It has been tested by competent persons and satisfactory evidence were furnished to show that porcelain of the finest quality may be manufactured from it. This discovery adds another important item to the already long list ot rich minerals in Clackamas county- The machinery for Mess.

Tbe Timber gulch lead is now furnishing the most flattering prospects, simply because its owners are applying the true test, as proven by all re liable experience— that of going duwn on the lead. According to the Entcrpriee, Capt Aaron Vickers and Engineer Felix Evans started from Oregon City last Monday for a venture on Pen d’Oreille which will be worth recording. They go to bring the steamers now lying above Rock Island to Pen d’Oreille lake. They will be obliged to navigate some swift water, and the trip will be one of marked adventure, more in teresting perhaps thau any similar event which has ever occurred. An exchange states that William E. Miller, of California, last week purchased about twenty-five hundred acrosof Government land lying in the vicinity of Port Orford, with a view of erecting a mill at that place. The e x tensive forests of fine cedar timber adjacent to Port Orford make it one of the most favorable locations on the Pacific coast, for the erection of a lumbering establishment, and with the reopening o f the lumber trade at that port, a new era o f prosperity will be inaugurated for that portion of Curry county. The Courier states that a man in Yamhill county, while making rails in a handsome grove of large ash trees, upon splitting one of the trees, found figures and characters. A cross, and tbe figures 2, 4 and 9, being clearly discern ible, all of which was covered with seventy- four growths of timber. The Dr. reports that these figures, which be saw, were large, each covering about four inches of space, and tbe wood, for the depth o f one inch, clearly show ing them. They had been written up and down the tree, and the gentlemen reported that the tree had evidently been written upon from a bight of tour feet from tbe ground, entirely encircling the tree, with the exception o f about four inches. This would indicate that some ci rilize 1 person had been there prior to any account we hare of Oregon being visited by any white man. ------------------------------- --------------------------------- -------------— California and the Territories.
