for the contract to complete both roads
r-r.d ull-up the whole i;np between Ash
land and Delta, ofv'nn to accept a por
tion of their" pay in bonds of the two
companies, lie thinks it probable that
they will receive the contract from the
Califcn-inVccnpacy, if not for both roads.
If they are given the .hole work, the
Oregon end will most likely be turned
over by them to the .company of which
Mr. Thompson .is the hta !, the Oregon

having jVt cem'plcted the" building of
the Baker City branch cf the O. R. &

will Jgin the shipment of the outCt to
Ashland immediately upon the award

be po awarded. It the orders come from
London to resume work, the boring of
tunnels and some of the rock cut

Comrades In last week's Columbian'
a notice of a campiire and ball by Mc
Pherson Post, G. A. 11. on the lGtk was
duly jiven, and to give an entire report
of the same I am now too glad to make
anv other than the following.
A half dozen of loyal women with
their ex-soldier husbands made the atlair
one of lasting moment to all who took
part, and the names of Mrs. Mahan,
Mrs. Seibert, Mrs. and Miss Dubai!, Mrs.
Summers, and Mrs. G. S. Foster, with
that noble and generous chaiity becom
ing all good, true and loyal women with
their husbands had prt pared a feast
good cioui-h for kingsto enjoy thus
proving their love not only for them
selves but all defenders of our Country's
honor and our National Banner.
To the above-named noble womcr, I
cannot but say, " God bless you."
And to the gentlemanly company who
with their presence gave us their support
we ray jou have added ono mark to
your character a3 a willing support to
our order.
Tho object of our order is charity and
loyalty.
The first to be dispensed to our wid
ows and orphans, and to do so we have
had the ball and supper on the time set
and we can without a doubt say after
deducting expenses for music ve had a
handsome fund left.
As lino niuuc graced oar ear and the
pieasant smiles cf beautiful ladies met
our eyes as any an old soldier ever met,
and dancing and waltzing was continued
until the sun began to throw Ids rays iu
the eastern horizon and all went hoaie
well pleased and fully satisfied that the
G. A. R. boys can have a " jolly good
good time," especially when they have
their balls for charitable purposes. And
in conclusion I am required to thank
Messrs. J. and B. Hazard, Missses Geo
gia and Flora Thorn, the two Misses
Mahan and all others who assis-ted vol
untarily in music. May your elbows
never grow shorter and your voices con
tinue as sweet as tho sweetest along
life's pathway.

EDITOa OF THE COLUMBlAN-SiV; Just
now we have warm, mild and very pleas
ant weather like an Indian summer.
The fall rains have not been sufficient
to suit people as the ground is not wet
or moist enough over all the valley that
the farmers could plough their lands for
fall seeding. A week before equinox we
had some showers which softened the
ground in other places so that those that
had their lands ready for sowing have
l.o-.v their wheatfields in the finest pros
pect5--. Here in Hood River as the spring
and summer are dry it is much better to
have the grain in the ground as early as
possible in the fall, then if the new
grain is well advanced in the fall it has
a much better start in the coming spring
before the dry season set3 in, and a more
abundant crop may be expected. Many
settlers in the valley s.ty they are more
satisfied with the past yrar'a crop than
with those of previous years. Of grains
most cultivated arc wheat and corn and
on some places there has been a little
oats; barh-y, they say, will not do well.
But when thr-y say good crops here, it
must b2 undertfod that compared with
good crous in the Willamette or in other
richer .Valleys it means not very big
crops. Wheat is partly used for fodder
for the slock and the rest of it threshed
but it is not sufficient for breadstulT for
the population, that must be got from
abroad. Some, rye has been sowed but
for the purpose of fodder for stock like
corn. Yegctables seem to be plentiful,
potatoes give an abundant yield and at
present are mostly picked. Tomatoes
of the finest quality can be had in Hood
River; rutabagas, big as a big man's
head; squashes, cucumbers, melons,
where they have been planted promise
well. You asked . me last spring if peach
es did well here. I have not seen any
of the fruit, but have seen young trees
prospectively planted. Where there are
orchards, there is a fine apple and pear
crop; not many plums and those ordina
ry; graper, well tasting, but not of Cali
fornia style; currants may grow but I
have not seen many planted.
If the value of land is rising in other
parts of the country, surely Hood River
is not in the lead although there have
been instances this summer where land
has been sold from forty to sixty dollars
an acre a couple of miles from Hood
River town. That would seem curious
to many, but so is anyhow the fact. Far
mers have told me that wheat was 10 to
12 bushels average to the acre this year
year and other years generally less, so
what should make land valued so high?
They say that sickly people want a
healthy climate and that is v?hat makes
the value i land ao high. So it looks
as if Hood River would become in fu
ture a hospital or a kind of a watering
place; preparations this summer point iu
that direction. A- road has been built!
to Mt. Hood or near there. In the hot!
i
season many persons have enjoyed the!
coolness of the old fellow's cap up there.j
Parties of respectability from the city
had their camping-ground coralled upon:
the East Fork near the foot of the
mountain, and tried to rob the crystal
lluids of their inhabitant.
The past summer has been very hot
for Hood River, the thermometer not
stopping iu the nineties, but rising some?
times to a hundred and twelve. j
Last Friday evening we had a mighty
thun Jer-storm, accompanied with a
pretty rain:showcr which seems to be
well wanted. Yours very respectfully.
Yax Johnson.
Columbia Cirv, Ouegon, Oct 12th. '81
Editor of Columbian Dear Sir: As
I have not heard anything lately from
our Columbia City correspondent in your
valuable paper, I thought T would send
you a few items from one of the great
cities of the Columbia River.
Last Saturday a party of young ladies
and gentlenn left here on an excursion
to the city of Portland to see the great
Fair which is now attracting che atten
iun of the people. To use a slang
phrase, they took in the Fair Saturday
eve and then took passage on board the
Steamer Fleetwood for their paternal
home the next morning. The morning
sun rose brightly and a few fleecy clouJs
floated lazily toward the north. As the
morning was so fine every one seemed to
enjoy him or herself. At 9 o'clock the
boat whistled o(T, the. ropes were cast,
and away she steamed down the River.
We will now turn to the tall and hand
some youns man with his fair companion
bv his side. lie was not as fair and hand
some as Adonis, but I do not think he
he would have been successful if he had
entered a dime, museum as a curiosity.
One thing he wa successful in was in
attracting the attention of all the pas;
engers in the gentlemen's cabin. There
was onii man aboard, a cold-hearted and
cruel man. He said the young man was
mak'ng his first trip out and he had not
seen the elephant yet, that he was in tin
l'g green, thought he would get over
the difficulty if he did not take a relapse,
but if he had a second attack he would
in all probability die. It i.s to be hoped
he will not take a relapse, if he did it
might endanger the life of the young la
dy. As she is not subject to any ner
vous attacks she might come out if he
had a second attack. They ht tin
boat at a city about thirty miles from
Portland and went on their way rejoic
ing. It is to be hoped they arrived safe
ly at home, if not you will hear from me
in the future.

Bordering highways with shade trees
has pecuniary as well as aesthetic prof
its. Real estate is always more or le.ss
valuable along neatly shaded reads than
elsewhere, other things being equal. Sit
a tree wherever one can grow, . without
interfering with travel or crops. Our
forests are being constantly destroyed,
and the good of the country demands
the growing of trees. Set the in alone
walls and permanent fences where they
will be out or the way. Plant them in
al! rocky and sterile places, and especi
ally about the souices of creeks and
along their banks. One species of for

A few days since, at .St. Paul, this
county, an altercation occurred between
Dr. Da Gas and a one-eyed Frenchman
named Frederick Fortaiiie. Those ac
quainted with French will recognize Du
Gas also as a Frenchman, from his cog
nomen. Too much wind was the cause
of the row, and Dr. Du Gas shot Mr.
Fortaine, the ball entering near the right
nipple. Fortaine is very fleshy, and
thus the ball went through the right
nipple, came out and entered the left, in
which it lodged an 1 was afterwards ex
tracted. The wound was not a danger
ous one. The sheriif has not yet heard
of any arrests. Tdyram.
We are so much interested in the de
velopment of our home industries, that
we gladly make the announcement that
about all our "French" sardines are
now caught in Maine, preserved in cotton-seed

out in Nev York. So far as sardines go,
nothing more is to be desired. Now let
us do as well in something else. Na

THE WORLD OF AGRICULTURE,
The Agricultural World, one of
the best, if not the best, farm papers of
its class, is making a great s-uceess of he
plan inuguraated by its editor a few
years ago. This plan is nothing leas than
the giving of exhaustive articles by the
best writers on agriculture in all the
countries of the world. The articles from
the different States and Territories of
our own country are particularly enter
taining and instructive. Judge Par
ish's articles on " The Farmer's relation
to Law" are alone worth the prhe of the
paper. Judge Parrish, who is one of
the ablest Judges and lecturers in the
West, will soon leave for the South,
with the view of supplying the paper
with a series of articles on the agricultu
ral features of thai section. Thisjour
ual also has a fine household department
which makes it particularly r.ttractive to
lady readers. The price of the Agri

of the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany: St. Paul, Oct. 3d.
Gov. Squire: Inasmuch as there
seems to be some doubt as to the facili
ties offered by this company for the ex
hibition of products of the states and
territories on our line of road, I desire
to say that instructions to bill free of
charge limited specimens of ores, fruits,
forest products, or anything else pertain
ing to the state or teriitory through
which our line passes. If you are not
actively at work in getting together such
specimens, advise that no time be lost ;
but that they.be gathered up and be de
livered for shipment, if possible, in time
to reach New Orleans by the first of
December, when the exhibition opens.

Many persons are asking this question
Will the railroads make any reductions
in fares to those who desire to visit the
World's Exposition at New Orleans?
The Director General has been informed
that the Western Association of General
Passenger Agents have voted to make
round trip tickets at half rates. Other
organizations and roads will do as well,
if not better, and it is highly probable
that excursion parties will receive very
favorable offers to visit the Southern
metropolis during the coming winter and
spring. - Iley later.

LOCAL 2TE"V7S.
Monday we took our family to Port
land to visit the Mechanics' Fair. I We
went on the Lucea . Mason; she was a
lorg time on the route as she carried a
load of lumber, and shipped a huge a
mount of oats on Sauvie's Island, Mr.
Gerow and wife and daughter were on
board, also Misies Lizzie and Kate llen-
dric kson, Mr. and Mrs. Robie that was
school teacher when the fir blew down
that killed a scholar on Union Ridge in
that great hurricane chat occurred the
15th of January a nmnber of years ago.
The Captain's wife and children also, were
on board bouud for the Fair. Ther was
great sociability, and a very pleasant
time. Mrs. Perry went up as: far as
Morgan's to visit a child sick with a
i
spinal disease. She carried a littlej gold
fish for a present. In Portland we found
a comfortable room at a hotel, and in
the evening took in the Fair. We saw
quite a number of acquaintances. The
grain room classified and prepared by
Mr. Dubois overlapped in beaut j- and
artistic arrangement any thing we saw
at the Fair. There were stalks ot corn
IS feet and 9 inches tall, broughtj from
Mrs. Dr. By bee's place in Clark County.
How is that for high 1 Mr. Dubois was
one of Oregon's commissioners sent to
the Centennial Exposition at Philadel
phia, and will go to New Orleans. The
corn above-mentioned was brought over
by Hon. Guy Hayden of Vancouver,
who has taken great interest in adver
tising this coast, and did a great deal on
his trip lately to the states to provoke
inquiries respecting the capabilities of
this Ultima Thule. Messrs. Wm. Mus
grove and Norman McKay drew our at
teution to a creamery which separate,
the crer.m immediately from the milk
without all the customary trouble, be
ing a short cut to butter fully to jbe ap
preciated by dairymen. It is a Danish
invention, and iu a few years will doubt
'ess come into universal use, and tin
pans will be things of the past. Mi.s
Knox, Mr. Roussell, and Captain Glove
land Rockwell had drawings and 'paint
ings on exhibition. His was a sp'en
did sea view. We saw at the Fair Mrs.
Moe and three daughters, Rat;i, Ella
and Mrs. Marton and husband. Mis
Rata and Mrs. Marton are very brilliant
i
looking ladies. We met Charles Kellogs
and wife, who is certainly the most
beautiful lady in Oregon. We noticed
many people we knv, but thi-jy were
very few in comparison with those we
did not know. Time makes j great
changes. There was a fountain' wheiv
a couple of children in bronz-j kept oil
the falling spray with an
umbrena,
it
was very pretty indeed. The

Cottage
the old
as-d
with the plants and flowers, and v oman's
handiwork of quilts and embj-oidcry
and things of that sort. Every division
of manufacture was well represented,
and we think the Fair superior to that
of two years ngo. On the way home
the Lucca Mason furnished us a splen
did dinner.
There were two gentlemen
gome
down to hunt on Mr. Lindsey's plac
They were both originally from Boston,
one named Lamb, had just come out,
having arrived only a few days ago.
lie thought Massachusetts, Connecticut,
New Jersey and New Y"crk would east
a heavy vote for Blaine. He said there
was great enthusiasm, and tho jxuntr
seemed fully aroused in his favor.
At Union Ridge the boat .'topped si
little while, and we went up on the hill
to see the new Presbyterian Church.
We have received a letter that Rev.
Mr. Hanna will be installed pastor of
this Church, and that some evening not
far distant he will come over and preach
in St. Helen. 1
We also saw Mr. Frank Morgan orig
inally from New Hampshire.; jHe has
been from N. H. but a f-'w years but
I
accumulated quite a fortune by success
fill speculations in the vicinity of Port
land. He su I tseribed for the Columbian
so did Miss Lizzio llendriekson.
Mr. Bancroft, a member cf the firm
of A. L. Bancroft & Co., has been the
past week in St. Helen for the intro
duction of Bancroft's series of school
readers into the Public Schools of the
County. The Bancrofts propose Lo allow
every scholar the price of his old school
book of the old kind ( Barnes') in a
book of a higher jcrade of Bancroft's se
ries, when he arrives at the status to re
quire one ; thereby the new school books
will cost a mere trifle, and besides: they
are more modern in their methods and
more adapted to the children; of this
coast, beir.g a native production by those
who know the wants and wishes of our
native-born children. Mr. Bancroft cal
culates that Columbia county will save
$157.50 the first year in schoolbooks bv
the introduction of this new series.
Some may ask why do tho Bancrofts of
fer such inducements, the reason is sim
ply this, what they may gain in the fu-.
ture, Washington Territory has already
accepted their series, and a great part of
California ; and the accession of Oregon
would establish their books on a perma
nent bania
This last week we have had speeches,
without iiunibert loth temperance and
political. 8a tu relay evening Colonel
Hawkins gave a political lecture which
seemed to amuse and interest everybody,
lie was on his own hook, and went
after the Democrats in Morgan and
Mosby style. On Monday night he
gave a temperance1 lecture which B. F.
Giltner says was tip top in every respect.
We were absent in' Portland. On Tues
day J. C. Leasure, Republican Presi
dential Elector made a stirriug address,
and showed himself an orator of no
mean ability, and on Wednesday cx
,Judge Townsend, of Yamhill gave a dis
course in favor of Democracy, which
mightily pleased his Democratic friends
Received a call on Thursday from
Captain S. U. Mitchell, who owns the
Steamer Bessie, which he intends to run
between St. Helen and Portland by the
Willamette Slough. The Captain is
lately from Castle Rock where he has
leen running a shinple mill. His boat
is a new one being G7 feet Jong and 15
feet wide. His force is five hands. His
wife will live on board. Captain Mitchell
is ah educated gentleman, being former-
ly an editor, and his wife is a lady of
culture and refinement.

bunch of anbepine flowers. A perfectly
plain, long tulld veil reaching to the floor

Dr. C. F. Crehora sends tliia to Na
ture : A brave, active, intelligent ter
rier, belonging to a lady friend, one day
discovered a monkey belonging to nn
itinerant organ-gi inder, seated upon a
bank within tho grounds, and at onco
made a dash for him. The monkey, who
was attired in jacket and hat, awaited
the onstt with such undisturled tran
quillity that the dog halted within a few
feet of him to it connoiter. Both animal
took a' long, steady staro at each other,
but the dog evidently was recovering
from his surprise ana auout to runae
spring for tho intruder. At this critical
juncture the monkey who had remained
perfectly quiet hitherto, raised his paw
and gracelully saluted by lifting hia hat.
The effect was magical ; tho dog'n hot:",
and tail dropped and he sneaked oCj and
entered the house, refusing to leave it till

demeanor showed plainly that ho foils
the monkey was something "uncanny"
and not to be meddled with.
