VV? ac knowledge the receipt of a copy at this office, but uot having the time to lead any considerable number of pages, are Unable to pass an opinion on the merits of the book. The subject, "The Legislative History of Our Country Since lfiiGl," is an interesting one, and from an author of Blame's pretentions, should be accurate and contain a foun tain of useful information unless he lias trusted too much of the details to inferior scribes. It is claimed by East ern journals who have examined the book critically, that it is not accurate, and falsifies history, especially on the tariff question. ' Colony Started.

There are many notable instances showing that in Oregon ten acres are. enough to afford a liberal income to an industrious man. One farmer in j Mai ion county lias ten acres in orchard which pays liim a net profit of one hundred and fifty dollars per aero each year. This is a fair income, and more than the average ranchman or large farmer re ceives. An orchard of prunes, five acres, paid the owner a net profit of eight hundred and ten doll ars last yar, and thst was our year of failure in the prune crop Oregon Pacific Extension. It is now stated that the Oregon Pacific will reach Corvallis by October lath, and will come on. to Albany this fdl, and be built towards tho foot hills. An important meeting of the stock holdtrH has recently been held, at which im portant business was transacted, not yet made public; but enough is known to be able to state that it meant busi ness from the start, ss future actions will prove. Albany people need not 1)9 surprised to find themselves in 'ir-ct communication with the Bay this full. Democrat. An Egg Story. The egg story o the season comes from Mrs. S. Shield of Pataha citv, W.

Tae Wheat Outlook. With the present good crops in Ore gon our farmers are confronted with a dull market and low price for grain At Liverpool during the month of July wheat sold for the exceeding low price ,f 3Gss 9d for 5S01bs, which is the low- est price reached during' thirty year: The average price dining this time last year was 42s, 2d per quarter (580 lbs). The excess ot bushels m uregon, ana even California cannot effect the market but little either way. lhe mar- Mcet " novv doi'ss from various causes. It can go no lover. It is sure to be better. Observation and research will show that the wheat market has not remained at a low ebb tor so long niers, who are able to hold their crops will do well to store them for better prices; the raise is sure to come, lbere e many causes conspiring at tins time to depress the grain trade, the scarcity of monev and the high rate of freights will force down the price. Speculators will of course take advantage of far mer's necessities who are unable to hold their grain for better prices. As soon as the bulk of the present crop is in the i,and8 of the money sharks there will be & r.lise iu ,iriceg Tho consumers are move numerous than former years takin the world over while the acreage Ij yiey j3 but an averdge The Popular Approval.

The undersigned agrees with him in regard to hard times. I think, however, he is' mistaken in say ing that Oregon is a poor place . for a poor man. In rcgaid to the thousands he says, are roaming over the country with blankets on their backs, hunting work, which they cannot find, I will say there is a demand for men, that is on the work in this country. I will say that I have ten teams idle, which I can get work for, in ease I can get ten good men to drive them to haul railroad wood, and as theie is a de mand for teams on the railroad, I would send some there if I could get sober, steady men to drive them, and I will give then, work until the rainy season. I will also say that there is plenty of vacant land here which will -make good homes for men willing to work, and as you say yon wish to see Oregon prosjieryou can publish this fact and your exchanges can copy it. In so do ing you may do somebody good. I have lived m nnd made this county my home for nearly thirty-four years. Tts climate cannot ba beaten. I see that you are for Blaine.
