Members of Congress seem to have returned to their labors much refreshed by their brief holiday. The Senate yesterday passed the " whiskey in-bond" Lilh eittendittsr fdr tw-d i-fiars the time . C" y withift which the tax must Ife paid on the whiskey stored in bonded ware- Tf ol appropriation bill, and fixed a day on Which it Would vote on the Porter bill. The House not to be outdone, passed the Pendleton bill, 'after a brief debate, and also the ajpiriy appropriation bill Tile illi rftber" oi widowers niw in prom- - inent positions is hoticdfclev Bviunillg with the President and the acting Vice President, we have Secretary Folger and thB British Minister m the diolomatiV 'fcorps, while Judge Grey of the Supreme Jgnch, Marquis Dalle Valle, Italian '"Charge. M. Roustan, French Minister, and innumerable smaller fry reein force the bachelors. The Supreme Court are all great card players, and they have a regular round of solemn whist parties during the winter, which are about as gay as a Methodist class meeting ; but the old souls enjoy it While this will unquestionably be a gay winter iti Wash ington, it will not be so gay as If the 7th "tof Ntivfcciber had been feft oat oi the "calendar The 14 inert xvho are to be "'dished oil IHb 4th of March will not add much to the social life of the city. Sen ator Dawes's wife and daughter will not be in Washington this winter, the first time in many years. Mrs. Hoar will e here, however. By the way, Mr. Hoar -complaiiw that Senator Butler made faces at hfm the other night during the i-uuisp ui meir nttie unpittasantness. The Butlers are a fighting race? Away far back in English history, where Piers Butler had his head chopped off, they 'Z.jught manfully whenever they had a chance. Senator Butler is a cousin of Pierce Butler the husband of Fanny Kern -ble. The Senator has a son at Princeton who has only recently recovered from a -desperate illness. Mrs. Windoni will re- ceive in her new house after the middle ' of January. v Mr. Windom volunteered the information on the floor of the Sen ate last week that he had a clerk removed from the Treasury during his incumben cy for making remarks about his house. Mrs. Windom was formerly a teacher and is a woman. of teste. The bill reported to the Senate to-day from the finance committee embodies the internal . revenue bill which passed the House at the last session, the tariff schedule adopted by the committee, the Morrill bill to provide 'a better system for the trial of customs revenue cases, nd the Sherman bill to regulate the collection of customs duties. It provides for the repeal of the tax on the the cap ital and deposits of banks, and the abo lition of the stamp tax on bank checks, drafts, orders and vouchers, and the tax n matches, perfumery, and medicinal .preparation? on and after July 1, 1883, the tax on snuff and manufactured to-, bacco shall be 12 cents a pound. Jay Hubbell,. the distinguished chief pirate of the United States, has with drawn from the contest for the Michi gan Senatorship, and Mr. Ferry's nomi 1 nation is announced this morning. It U not probable that the future will de- r i. i j i ji oulii prujuiigcu searcnes lor his Senatorial treasure as have attended the successful efforts of his great proto type, Captain id, in another direction, but he probably finds it necessary to rest upon his well-earned fame. There is considerable anxiety among the 800 additional clerks for the pension Office appointed in July last as to who fchall be retained. -They were all ap pointed on a probation of six months, the commissioner bf pensions having been given the right by the Secretary of the Interior to reappoint feuch as he de sired. It is thought tliafc about 75 have not made a teeord which will insure a reappointment Oh the permanent roll, and their plattes will be filled iiy hew appointments. Who the unfortunates are the pension Dice declines to state. There is also a state of uncertainty a ta ng the tletks of the census office, a heavy discharge being daily expected. The first 'batch of removals :took place vfiftieirclaV I2 ladv clerks in the airricul- 2 - - o tural division of .the office having been COLUMBIA COUNTY. In viewing the opportunities for set tlement and investment presented by the great J regions east, sqush and north of Portland, we are apt to overlook equally inviting fields nearer home. No section of Oregon or Washington lla3 greater attractions for the immigrant or the capitalist than our next-door neighbor, Columbia cotlnty. Its chief resources are iron, ctfal ahd timber, resources for whose development capital is required, and so diirin'4 the early, moneyless age of the country, now passing away, they have lain unused-. The iron basin south of the toliimbia river extends from a lille mid Way between jthe northern and southern boundaries of Clackamas coun ty, north to the river j that occupies the space between the Cascade and Coast rahge oi .mountains, j The greatest de posits have been found at Oswego, in Clackamas county and in the mountain district of Columbia, west of St. Helens, and within a few mile.sof the Columbia j river. r Among the several scientific men who have examined the Columbia ledres. seven of which haveleen opeiied, are Prof. Hilgard, of the jttMvorsity of Cal ifornia, and Mr. Philip East wick, the well known civil and; mining engineer. Prof. Hilgard has reported that the iron fields of Columbia County yield the same excellent quality of ore found at Oswego, and that they are practically inexhaust ble. All the mountains of that region, lie says, are capped with iron. Mr. Eastwick's report is equally favorable. The most promising ledges are less than ten miles from Columbia City, one of the best deep-water points on the river, and accessible by easy grades. Much iron land is held by non-resident capi talists, but a greater part is owned by citizens of the county, who, secure in the prssfcssitMt of ."ajgood thing," are biding their. time. j Equally valuable are the coal lands of the county. They lib close to the river and like the iron deposits are practically inexhaustible. The ledges opened and the fields about therii have beeji careful ly examined by Prof. Hilgard and others and the verdict of allj is that in quality the coal is similar to tliH Coos Biv conl, and that the quantity, is vast beyond -s-tinlate. These lands are held by resi dents of he county arid, so we are in formed, are in the nlairket. Another great resource of Columbia county is in its forests of fir and cedar timler. Giant trees jstand in countless thousands in its river; and mountain re gions. According to the report of Gen. Tannatt, to build a railroad through the co'ttrity tor the sole purpose of bringing this timber to the market wottld be prof itable as an investment. There is also much; good agricultural and dairy land in Columbia county. The river bottoms afford fine pasturage and the forest ranges are of the highest practical value. The Kehalem valley in the middle of the! county and about twenty miles west of the Columbia river, concains much rich prairie, alder an;l maple land and is the seat of a large and srrowing settlement j This region has been but recently opened, and there is room in it for two hundred more fami lies. Along the bottoms of the creeks which seam the county there are hun dreds of patches of rich land, almost all of which has been claimed. Much of it is held for speculation however, and can be bought cheaply and on easy terms. All this region enjoys jthe special advan tage of nearness to market and of cheap water freights to and from Portland. It is easily and cheaply accessible, and the investor or the immigrant can at little cost of time and money look the country over for hirnself. j The people of Columbia county have ambitious hopes. They 3xpect a large population and great business move ments as a result of development of the resources we have enumerated, and, fur ther look upoit theirj embryo town of Columbia City as a future shipping point. Its location below the obstruct ing bars of the Willamette and Colum bia vera, and the fact that there, or f or very near there, will be the North em Pacific railroad crossing, certainly are circumstances in favor as a shipping point for Portland arid for the future products of Columbia county. Although its groat resources have scarcely been touched, Columbia is a prosperous coun ty. Iarge merchant lumber mills at St Helens, Columbia jCity and Rainier have been in operation for years, and small schooner and steamboat building yards have been established at the first and last named places. General busi ness is cood in proportion to the pooula tion, and in the way of churches schools and social institutions' the county is a- hrast of the times. Orcfonian. Easy Work. To publish a newspaper is just as easy as falling off a log. Get some muggins to buy you a press who has as much lit erary judgment as one of Snell's goats gt a second hand press with the type well mixed, nothing like pi composed of many ingredient", it is a good thing to bfirig on the back ache, and make one use fcHss words, next select some back room-, nothing like going to the rear, it gives you a chance to come forward when youtget to be fan! oils, then your ideas will be bright enough, to set them up without sunlight, sunlight might 'fad them, best to hang them in the sha!e to dry; get a little old cracked stove, sd your ideas will not melt and you caH warm them over provided you ever get on credit a Stove big enough. If yoti have not the .ability to run a newspaper send to some- lieighlioring sawmill, aiia get one sawed out Give your newspa per some gusillng, liquid name, some thing that will dry up easy. There is no work to a Newspaper anyway. Afc ter you havd once mixed it up and put it into bake, even if you are only half baked yourself, yott can then sit down lv the stove, warm your shins, run your fingers through your hair, read the ex changes, and when the day of issue comes it will work itself clear like old cider. All those you puff will each and every one rush in and deposit a twenty dollar gold piece. We know one man that was killed by being trodden on by those so anxious to get in to pay their subscrip tions, lie died a vt;ry lingering deatli. If you are an Editor you can ride free on the steamboats by setting up a 16 column puff and feeing the waiters twice as much as your regular ticket would co-i vti'di If you hire printers, they will wbrk for a puff ; that is what they live on arid buy their clothes witli. If you should do any work yourself you will find-lithe cleanest, nicest work you ever did. Ink rives such a dark rich look to evCiV thins: it touches. You will find it mtfeh easier to get yourself set up than to tH up a paper. One thing that will ifi crease your funds is the advice you will receive which is worth its weight in gold: You can get money for it at any bank. If you wish to get riclij publish a news paper, you can soon havti a horse of your own if nothing more than ft saw horse. You may get to be President of some club from some enraged subscriber. We make the following extracts from a letter of our nephew Hoil. A. B. Ad ams. Kansas City, Mci. Jan. fid. 1883. My Dear Uxcle Georoe 1 wish you ntit your family a llap'py New Year.

I don't know whether T ever wrote and told you that my wife and self are both Doctors. Well, for the past six years I have been studying this besides my other work, and some time ago passe 1 muster, so now I am fully pre pared to build up a practice in this. My wife has been in this for five years or ever since she was 18 years old. The outlook is that we can build up a big practice here in Kansas City. Let us hear from you soon. We have made soni remarkable cures when all others had failed. Cured one ! of first lawyers of Kansas of paralysis; I he had been sick for three years; also a lady of Topeka, Kansas, who had been j sick for many years and whose husband Dr. W. C. Hausteuber said she could not live 24 hours. Hoping this may find you all in health, I bid you good bye, From your affect nephew Dr. A. B. Adams. . 618 Main St, Kansas City, Mo.

Some of the rest got mad, and left, this did not phaze George, who has had sometimes a thou sand of them under him at one time in the Upper Country.

Everyone was glad to see them, and the wonder is how they run the gauntlet of the fema'es, they have improved so much in their looks.
