The hop house of J. C Geer, near Butteville says the Salem btatetman, was destroyed by fire on the 19th. The flames spread with such rapidity that nothing in the building could be saved. Loss is es timated at about $800; no insurance on the .building The arrest of Indians in plicated in the late hostili lies east of the mountains, does not appear to be progressing very well at Pendleton, Umatilla county. Only a few arrests have been made so far and now . the papers are quarreling as to whom itie honors belong.

Ft some time past a -contest has been -fotnjr n tlir cgh the columns of the 'on land Daily Telegram and Daily Bee in she bitter, st animus, The principal par tie concerned in the melancholy affair w-re J K, Mercer, of the Bee, and A. C. Mac Donald, of the Telecram. This news fiajier controversry : culminated in the d .ath of A. C. Mac Donald by a pistol shot fired by J, K. Mercer, last Friday. The Circumstances are culled from the testimo- n? taken before J u lge Adams, Portland Police Judue. The difficulty occurred on the corner of First and Stark streets, in the city of Portlaud, on the afternoon of. the 19ib. Mercer was sanding in the door way of tho corner store when MacPouald came along and asked Mercer if he was responsible for hat appeared in the Bee, and the latter said be supposed lie was. MacDonald then spoke of the artic'e that referred to his wife and family and asked Mercer to retract. He refused. Considera ble conversation of this n ature ensued be fore any serious trouble commenced. The two then closed and began scuffling on the sidewalk, Mercer endeavoring to use his pistol. Mercer tired beveral shots at MacDonald, two taking effect. Mac- Donald also fired on Merser. MacDonald was taken to his residence where he died during the latter part of the night. Tbe verdict of the coroners jury was that the j killing of MacDonald was murder. One bad feature about the matter is that the bitter feelings engendered in the strife have not been wiped out with human, but continue as vt nimous as ever in the two papers. Let the matter rest in the han.ls of justice. ' MacDonald leaves a wife and child to greave over his sad death- ULPQUA FERRY. Fogy mornings have made their appear ance. The peach crop is scared this year on ac count of the heavy frosts last Spring. Wheat did not; turn out at welt as was expected, altuougU more 'hau can possibly turn out is always expected. Several parties who went to Loon Lake from here last week have returned very well pleased with tha country. Oeorge Dougherty talks of taking his celebrated horse, the Cole's Valley racet, to the Fair and show them how to pace. Almost every one are through hauling off their graiu fo. 1878 The farmers are most til going to plow their land twice and see if they cannot raise more grain. , Weding8are again looming up, as every body is .getting scared about those Oak lauditfs fighting, and think il is better to have some brave young woman to defend them- The ferryman hopes that it will be as Beecher says about Grant, and that he will be hurried so that the people making pi Is trr image to his tomb will have to cross his ferry. Several parties who cams out from Mi chigan last Spring are now on their war home; mostly homesick, I think. They were disappointed in exDectiDg to find plenty of good farming land vacant. CALAP00IA. John H. M;res has sent his White Prince horse to Eastern Oregon. Farmers are busily engaged in hauling off their surplus grain. Mr. T. Barnard and family are visiting friends in Willamette valley. C. T. Pinkham content plates soon to take his departure for California. The Sunday school nnder the supervis ion of Mr. Baker, is in a flourishing condi tion. ' ' Mr. John Baker had the misfortune ot losing a fine horse a few days since, which he valued at $150. Mr. John T. Daniel raised some of the finest oats this year we have nad the pleas ure of iooking at for sometime. Mr. Dan ieU vails these oai s the Democratic oils. Persons wishing a few of these oats for seed can procure them by sending their or ders. Mr. Daniels oners the Democratic oats at reasonable terms 75 cents per bushel so that farmers can test them for themselves. Timely Suggestion. Our esteemed correspondent at Umpqua Ferry says that many farmers in that vi cinity intend to plow their (grounds twice for the future season, and otherwise itn pruve their land. The idea is excellent and the - mount of benefit that would flow f-om cureiui cultivation of tne sou. were all our grain producers to adopt such policy, can no be overestima'ed. It has been demon strted frequently that the richest land will eventually wear out unless the s -il is renewed. We could easily HUifktest a cause why less is raised to the acre now than has been produced heretofoe. The cause cf the decrease to a very great extent niuNt be accounted for in the fact that producers hve not given their land prper cultiva tion. Intelligence can easily siiige remedy. Another raaiter at 'Lis time is ol consiaeraoie importance ana that is, care shou d 1e lafaen to select the very tTewt urain torseea.i in an article which ap p,riklast week, this idea -was urfed an thele can b 'no" "doubt uhat betrer gra n can I e raised where care is exeicised iu tb selection of good Seed. Election of Ofllcers. Ry refference to another column it will be seen that the Tellurium Mining Compa ny holds its antnal election of offic rs n the 6th day ot November, 1878 Ev ry effirt will be made to puf u the work it the mines forward rapidly, and the com pany will spare no ex. ense or exertion to develop the wealth of the T. Uuriuni mine. Our country is certain to increase io rich, ness when the vast mineral wealth of the land is opened up and developed by men of enterprise and engergy. All the owners in the Tellurium mine express great con- fidence that they will r alize handsomely. from their outlay of expense and labors, which they certainly deserve Terrible Fires. Reports from Clark county, Washington Territory, is to the effect that destructive fires have been raging in and around that county, among the timber. It appears that the damage is not confined to timber, but in many instances dwelling houses and barns have been consumed by the flames. People have frequently been compelled to flee for their lives and many aro left destitu W. , TIMBER LANDS ACT OF JUNE THE 3d, 1878. : Circular to the Registers and Receiv ers of U. S.
