OREGON SCOUT. JONES & CHANCEY, Publishers. U.VIO.V, OBKIJOJI. Lowkr California has been made n State of the Mexican Republic. Kktuuns from the special Congres sional election in Michigan bIiow the election of Seymour (Rep.) over Breese (Dm.) by about 500 majority. Fkee Soup haa been a source of trouble in New York, and is no longer provided for th6 poor. It is found to bring tramps to the city and to aid the undeserving poor, It is said that a number of old Cali fornians, now jiving in New York in reduced circumstances, are actually dependant upon the bounty of Senator John P. Jones, of Nevada, for tho ne cessities of life. Texab is probably in tho soundest financial condition of any State in the Union. There is a cash surplus of 51,000,000 In her treasury, and tho already low rate of State taxation may Iks further reduced. The Director of tho Mint has re ported .adversely to tho establishment -of an assay office at Portland, for -which a bill was introduced by Senator Dolph. Senator Dolph, howover, Bays that the Director of tho Mint iB mis informed in regard to tho business of reducing oros at Portland. Ho intends to appear beforo the Committeo on Commerce and show that sinco tho construction of tho railroad to tho Occur d'Aleno mines and other mines, aind tho erection of reduction workB at H&et Portland, tho output of metal every year is largely increasing, and will increase much in tho future. The IIouso Committeo on Territor ies has cdnsiderod tho question re lating to admission as Btates of Da kota, Montana, Washington and Now Mexico. It was decided to formulato nn omnibus enabling act for tho four territories, and tho preparation of tho bill was referred to a sub-committeo, consisting of Springor, Mansur, Hayes, Strublo and Symes. During tho ses sion votes were taken upon ordering favorablo reports upon Giflbrd's bill for tho admission of South Dakota, and Bailer's bill looking to tho recognition of North Dakota as a stato. Tho rosult in each enso was unfavorable to tho bill. A Washington dispatch says : "If Jlopresontativo Hermann's bill to place AVinemalo Ridolo on tho ponsion rollB, nt tho rato of $25 por month, passes, it will bo tho llrst caso in which tho government haB over granted a pen uion to an Indian. Winonmlo waB ji member of tho Modoc tiibo of In dians, and whon thoy attacked and massacred tho cDinmissioners sont out by tho government to nogotiato a treaty with thorn, sho found Colonel Mcacham, desporately wounded, in tho lava beds, and did all that lay in hor yower for his comfort. Sho brought lii m food and drink, mado him a torn porary sholtor and bound his wounds, nt tho peril of hor own life had ho boon discovered. As soon as Mcacham had recovered sufficiently to bo moved, "Wincmalo carried him on her shoul dors Boveral miles and restored him to "his frionda. Por this sorvico it iB bo lioved sho is ontitlod to a ponsion." Tho statement that "Winomalo car ried him on hor shoulders sovoral miles," is probably incorrect, bb Colo nel Mcaoham's weight nt that timo was about 200 pounds. Hknatok Dolph has roportcd from tho Committeo on Public Lands a bill of groat importnnco to tho citizens of Oregon and Washington Territory Tho object of tho bill is to confirm tho titles of widows, orphans and flinglo women who took claims undor tho Oregon donation law of 1850 and am oudatory acts, and mado their proofs nnd rocoived certificates. Ho says their are some forty cases in Linn county, Orogon, alono, and probably Bovonil hundred in Oregon and Wash ington, whoro donation claims woro taken over thirty years ago by widows, orphans and singlo womon, and whoro tho land hus boon sold and transferred upon tho strength of donation cortill catcs, which tiro now hold undor tho rulings of Land Commissioner Sparks to bo invalid, and a number of which have been held (or cancellation on tho ground that tho parties woro not en titled to tuko such claims for various reasons. Tho Commissioner holds that widows whoso husbands, and or phans whoso parents, died on tho way to Oregon, were not qualified to tuko a claim. Tho Senator says that tho law wiib probably very litorall con etntcd in tho early settlement of Orogon. TELEGRAPHIC. Ad Epitome of the Principal Events Now Attracting Pablic Interest Terrible Accident. New Youk. A frightful accident occurred in Brooklyn, which cauEt-d tho death of three persons and the in jury of a dozen others. Along Broad way a section of tho Union elevated road is now in course of construction. A huge steam derrick which was used in building it was pulled along the girders as each section was completed. The derrick was started, and had been pulled but a short distance when the girders began to spread outward. Just at that moment a street car whb ap proaching tho section, but thoXdriver did not notico what waH going on over head. The derrick pasted through the girders and fell to tho ground, striking tho horso car and cutting it in two. Tho firo department was called out, and an ambulance sent for, but owing to escaping steam uud tho heat of tho boiler it was some timo beforo ony- thinc could be done.

No where else had their right to tho soil beon recognized. Hero their lands had been bought and paid for. But the American peoplo had not been wise in their dealings with the Indians. If they had beon, thero would be no un civilized Indians to-day. The Indians would havo beon incorporated in the body politic.

This article would not bo complete without at lenst a hasty description of a modorn mill. Lot us select for thai purpoio tho mill at Minneapolis, which is tlio largest by far and probably in all respects t,ho best appointed in the world. Tho building is an almost cubical stono structure, 175 feet long,. 155 feet wide, and 120 feet high, with eight floori including basomont On the first main floor aro tho long rows of encased roller niachinos, about two hundred and ten in number, and eighteen "runs of stono" for finishing. Tho second floor is a great packing room. Tho third, fourth, filth and sixth floors aro full of bolting and purifying machinery. Thero are near ly two hundred hexagonal and silk covered bolting-rccls, and about threo hundred middlings purifiers in tho mill. Immediately contiguous is a wheat elevator having a capacity of about ono hundred thousand bushels, which is kept supplied from great elevators in tho vicinity, some of which hold twenty times as muelu This great mill lias mado moro than 7,200 barrels of flour in twenty-four hours, and its capacity is usually said to be 7.000 barrels. Its ordinary daily run exceeds 5,000, and therefore rc-f quires about 25,000 bushels of wheat. Nearly 200 cars a day aro necessary to bring wheat to this mill and carry away the flour and offal. It is a mam moth automaton. Tho wheat first passes through a scries of wonderfully ingenious cleaning niachinos which re move every thing that is larger, smaller of different shape or of higher or lower specific gravity than the grain, beside thoroughly cleansing it from adhering: dust and dirt. It then proceeds through conducting pipes to tho reduc ing rollers. After each reduction tho product is conveyed to tho top of the building by elevators nnd thence re turns from floor to floor through intri cate scries of bolting and purifying machines until finally delivered in the-packing-room. The wholo process is simplo in principle, but labyrinthine in its mavelous amplification. Power is supplied tho mill by two turbine water-whools, which aro fiftv-f five inches in diameter and sot in pits sixtv feet deep. Together thov have 2.800 horse-power. Another wheel of 400 horse-nower runs tho apnendages of tho n.ill tho niachino shop, ele vator, etc. The mill is also provided with steam power by huge Corliss on gines for uso in periods of low water or other emergencies. Tho packing floor .presents always a busy and animated scene A sort of automatic tramway brings up the clean oak and elm barrels tho making of which occupies scores of coopers in co operative shops. In ono part of the room these barrels aro being filled for tho New England trade. In another, small cotton sacks aro preparing for tho Western retail supply. Groat burlap sacks holding "twenty stono" (280 pounds) for shipment to Groat Britain are piling up elsewhere, while smaller sacks, weighing fifty kilo- . . , v .11.. I. grams (liuj potintis;, aruraptuiy imuh.- somo other continental point. This ono groat establishment, sup plies broad to nearly a mi'lion Ameri cans and to about half a million. Europeans. It would require pages to describe tho marvelous contrivances which this mill omplovs for prwtection against lire, and its various other in genious appointments. The now milling processes gavo tho ndvaniagi' to tho hard Scotch Fife wheat of Minnesota. Dakota and Man itoba, and the result was a rapid de velopment of wheat-growing in that general region, and also of milling especially at Minneapolis. With a possiblo exception or two in Califor nia, thero aro no milrs in tho world outside of Minnesota that havo a capacity much exceocding 1,500 bar rols. Chautauquan. SUMNER'S METHODS.
