Northwent Immigration Board.
The business men of Portland are to
the front with a movement that cannot
but be to the benefit and prosperty of
Oregon.
For the past four or five years the
organization known as the Oregon
immigration board has been practi
cally dead, largely on account of lack
ing funds tofurther its purposes. This
failure to advertise the desirability of
this state as a place of residence has
been felt by the business community
in the decrease of the number of immi
grants. With the close of the Oregon indus
trial exposition eight of the committee,
who had so successfully managed that
affair, decided to come together and
rehabilitate the old Oregon immigra
tion board. This has been done, the
new organization being known as 'the
Pacific Northwest imigration board,
its promoters being Messrs. Ellis G.
Hughes. E. C. Mas ten. L. L. Haw
kins. A. H. Devers, B. S. Pague. L. D.
Cole, H. W. Goode and Sol Oppen
heimer.
It is proposed by the boord to draw
immigration to Oregon, particularly
of the farmer class, by judicionsly ad
vertising the immense natural wealth
and resources of the state. Funds, of
course are needed to carry out his
plan, and prior to proclaiming the or
ganization to the public the business
men named made a cauvass of -he mer
chants of the city with such batterin
results as to assure the pay ment-of $30,
000, the sum considered necessary'- for
carrying on of work. Already $10,
000 has been raised, and should those
yet. to be seen respond in anythin
like the manner of the present sub
scribers, there will be no difficulty in
placing the board on a firm financial
basis. '; ' ' I
It is intended to organize county
committees, who will take cve of ar
riving immigrants, and also to pub
lish a monthly pamphlet or magazine.
with fresh matter, describing different
sections of the state, in each issue.

ness community, the Pacific No th

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.
Burglars Entered the Store of Moore
Bros.' at Moro, Bat Were Fright
. ened Away.
Moore Bros, were surprised Fri
day morning on going to their store-to
find that some time .during the pr-
vious night it bad been entered by
burglars, and were equally surprised
to find that the robbers had not suc
ceeded in getting away with auything.
They had gained admitance through a
side window to the office and bad pried
off the hinges to adoor leading into the
main storeroom. - Evidently the at
tempt at robbery bad been made about
3 o'clock in the morning, as about that
hour a number of young people, who
had been attending a party in the
country, came into town, making cor.
sideraole noise, and it is supposed
frightened the robbers away before
they had time to make a raid on the
safe. This was evidently their inten
tion, as a number of tools which bad
been stolen from a blacksmith shop
were found in the store, left there by
the burglars. Mr. W. H. Moore, who
was in the city Friday, stated that
there was no clew to tbeldentity of the
would-be robbers, and that they left no
traces by which' they could be fol
lowed. " " - ;
THE DISTILLERY AT GRANTS.
It Will Again Brgin Operations on ' ax
Increased Scale.
During the time it was operated,
prior to the flood of 1894, the distillery
at Grants proved to be one. of the lead
ing industries of this section, one that
not only kept a large amount of money
at home but also furnished a borne
market for a large amount of grain
The distillery was formerly operated
by the Portland Distilling Co., which
has been merged into the Pacific Dis
tilling and Milling Co., with its prin
cipal office in San Francisco, Mr. Ed
gar B." Carroll, of San Francisco, hav
ing recently associated himself with
Messrs, G. B. Goodell and J. W,
Walker in the company, and is its
president. Besides the distillery, which
has a capacity for consuming 300
bushels of wheat a day, the company
owns the large roller mills -at Grants
that produces from 75 to 8 barrels of
flour daily, and have extensive facili
ties for feeding cattle and bogs. At
present they have 200 head of cattle
and 500 head of bogs in their stalls
fattening. .It is expected that the dis
tillery will again start up on the 15th,
and under the management of the new
company will be run to it full capacity,"

Returned From Hawaii.
Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Wilson, who for
several yoars past have been residing
at Hilo. Hawaii, returned last Satur
day to The Dalles, and will most likely
again become permanent residents of
Wasco county. Mr. Wilson 6tates
that Hawaii has some attractions in the
way'of climate and opportunities fur
making money, but as a place of resi
dence it is not altogether desirable.
Society there is very much mixpil,
Japanese and natives predominating
among the general populace, while
the business interests are in the hands
of Americans and English. The form
of government, Mr. Wilson says, is
not stable, and he anticipates that an
other revolution is liable to occur at
any time. As to annexation, Mr. Wil
son thinks it would be folly on the
part of the United States to take charge
of -the Sandwich Islands, as the pop
ulace is an unstable class of people, in
capable of self government, and not
suited to become citizens of a republi
can form of government. Mr. and
Mrs. Wilson left Hilo last October,
and have been in San Francisco since
their arrival in the United States. If
Mrs. Wilson's health will permit they
will remain here, if not they will re
turn to the islands.

Beginning Classes.
Beginning classes will be organized
in Union' street, Academy Park, and
East Hill Primary school on Tuesday,
January 21st. Children who are six
years of age on or before April 30,
1896, may ester these beginning classes
and should enter the school most con
venient to their home. Parents and
guardians are requested to start all
beginners for the spring term on the
day for organization of classes, as
starting at such time is best for the
child and more satisfactory to the
teachers. For a few years past it has
been customary to organize the begin
ners' classes on the first Monday in
March. However, it is thought that
the first week of the new term will be
a more suitable time to receive begin
ners, and new classes will not be or
ganized in March of this year.
- Owing to the large enrollment in the
first grade departments, only those
entitled to enter can be received, and
it will be useless for those under the
above stated - age to report at the
schools, expecting to enter.

Maler & Benton have just closed
c in tract with The Mussillon Engine &
Thresher Co.. of Portland, whereby
they are to have the sale of tbe cele
brated Russell Engine and Cyclone
Thresher and repairs during the sea
son of 1896. . Any orders entrusted to
tbelr care will receive their prompt
attention, and any information de
sired concerning the line of machinery
they will handle will be cheerfully
furnished by tbem. The Massillon
Engine & Thresher Co., who are suc
cessors to the well-known Grm of Rus'
sell & Co., on this coast, have already
established an enviable reputation for
fair an honest dealings with their cus
tomers, and no doubt intend to secure
their part of the machinery trade of
this county. Tbey have shown good
judgment in selecting Maier & Benton
as their representatives for this local
ity, and we trust their business for tbe
year will be fully up to their expecta
tions

GREAT 18 THE UNION.
Aggregate Wealth of United States Sur
pages That of Any Country on the
' CSIotie.
There is nothing in the history of
the nations of the earth to compare
with the development of the Udited
States during the last 100 ye irs. At
the present time the aggregate wealth
of this country surpasses that oT any
country on the globe. According to
t le cei.B is of 18!)0 the entire wealth of
the United States was computed as fol
lows: Property of all kinds
owned by individuals. $03,037,001,000
Value of public lauds,
buildings, etc 1,29!.000.000
Total $6.3:i6.000.000
The values of individual property
holdlngd were divided as follows:
Land : .$l;l.27!.(H)0,O00
Cattle.; 1 i veHtook et-5. 2.703,000,000
Railroads, including
1 equipments etc.. 8.(586.000.000
Houses, ete. 21,010,000,000
Factories, including ma-
t chinery.etc. . 3.0."9.CO(1.000
Sundries 16,300.000.000
Total $63,037,000,000
Basing bis computation on the in
crease of wealth in the United St.iU 9
during the period between ISO unj
1890, .Mulhall, the fimmt E ilisb sta
tistician, estimates that the daily ac
cumulation is $7,00.),0JJ in round
numbers. According to this calcula
tion, during the last fivj years the
actu.il wealth of this country has in
creased as follows:
Value of all properties,
. individual and pub-
li 1890
Increase fur 1825 days at
at $7,000,000 per day..
$66,336,000,000 ,
12,775.000.000
Total apparent wealth
at the present time.. $79,111,000,000
Great Britain's owner
ship in the United
States 4 2,000,000 030
The table is printed In the Now
York Morning Advertisers to show
bow great is the wealth of the Union.
It is a flat contradiction of the absurd
statement in some pro-English news
paper, that "Great Britain owns a
third of the Uuited States' and it em
phasis the fact that this country is not
bankrupt. To make clear what' Eng
land's ownership amounts to, it may
be s lid to be about the same as the in
divi lual worth $r0.03J who owes only
$20JJ!
Portland is overrun with thugs and
tough characters, and all manner of
rolibei ies are committed. , Ladies are
held up on the back streets and forced
to empty their purees, and a few
evenings since masked robbers stopped
a street car and relieved the passen
gers of lbei valubles. A little sum
m iry justice is needed to regulate uf-

Burrwell W. Russell.of Walla Walls,
has been granted a patent for a calf
weaner. New York, Chicago, San Francisco
and Portland jobbers evidently have
confidence in the stability of The
Dalles, since every day representatives
of wholesale houses in those cities ar
rive here and industriously solicit or
ders from our merchants.
Col. C. L. Carr, special agent of the
interior department, arrived from the
east last night. After spending the
forenoon with the officers of the land
office here, he left on the afternoon
trai i for Oregon City. His mission
on the coast is to inspect dep edations
on government timber.
The new king post for the Uegnlator
was taken out of tue D. P. & A. N.
Co's warehouse this morning and
haul.d to Hunyry Harbor to be put in
place in the boat. It is a fine piece of
Oregon fir. KixlO incites, and 56 f et
long. When put in position it will
materially add to the stivngt.i of tno
boat.
When the 'rain pulled out from here
this afternoon it had on board as jolly
lot of passengers as ever left the city.
There was a party of some 3J reside its
of the city on board going to Snipes
lake a fev miles below town on a
skating exiursion. They will put
in the hours gliding over the smooth
and beautiful ice until midnight, re
turning home oa the east-bojnd
overland.
It is reported that an extra session
of the legislature, for the purpose of
reducing some state expenses, is among
the possibilities. It is to be hoped,
however, th ;t Governor Lord does not
su-iously contemplate re-asseml li ig I
the unwell. ling conglomeration of law
makers ayain. The bur lens they in
flicted up n the p iopla last winter are
s ilflcient to convince anybody that it
would be unsafe to juive them auothtr
show at the state treasury.
