Puti,APi;i.PKiA. March 3 The Press to
day aaysthatChas. B. Wright has purchased
from Oe.sic W. Hunt of Walla Walla,

No town in Oregon, and no region of like
shse in the world, contains a better water
power and more of it than wc have right
in Union. It t not necensaV here to go
into detsils in tho way of producing proofs
to substantiate the above assertion. Kvety
observitig prison who bur traversed the

(irrcat in area) will bear us nut in saying
that it has no peer and few equals in its ex
cellent and abundant natural water power.
The day is not far distant when 'he greater

At Grand Island, Nebraska, the beet sug
ar company has produced in largo quanti
ties an article of granulated sugar of the

is so successful from every point of view
that preparations are being made on a lar

ers of the northwestern states. Am cultur
al manufacturing iirnis are preparing to
turn out machinery expressly adapted to
this sugar beet industry. If the farmers of
tho northwest havo a new and profitable in
dustry thus opened to them, what shall bo
said of tho jiossibilitiusof ihc same industry
here? Tho soil and climate of this state
are espef ially adapted to the production of
sugar beets, and our farmers aro rich
enough to form companies among them
selves for the manufacture of sugar.

not contain potash, which thinned tho blood;
that his patient did not hare uny vitality to lose,
mid that what dcllcutc pcoplo need la not de

thinning idea ot other snroparlllair, ami that od
the contrary by specific vetrctablo alteratives 11
stimulated the excretory organs, promoted dlgcs
