resolutions were read aud discussed at length,
among which a resolution calling a celebration
by ibe various lodges in tbe county on the 3d

prevailed that the W C. T. and W. V. T. of
each Lodge act as a committee to conduct the

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 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

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

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-

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.

obliged to navigate some swift water, and the
trip will be one of marked adventure, more in

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
