Tne condition of the yr.iin iu this locality has he"n just siliout a ruu bare represented it as bcin" iu the country suriouudic Wesion Mii:k Akox. The eoii'trvatioa ef such timber land ss we have ieii, y the SoeiUifie- Am erkau, and the encouragement of tree plan! iog in oiber places, has been ear nestly urged by far-seeing men for a score of years past. To say notbiejt of the direct value of the wood itself, the eifects of tree growth on the climate and iu the prevention of freshets, are admit tedly so great as to make 'ne subject ot the first importance, to which le are becoming awakened in pro portion to the rapidity with which oar native forests are being destroyed. Among the most practical of the means urged for encouraging tree plant ing, in such a general way as shall be productive of national good, the making ef a special holiday therefor, to be call ed "arbor day," seems to be a popular idea. This was tirst doue in Nebraska, a bout a dozen years age, and her here tofore almost treeless prairies have gam ed 250,000 acres ot artilicial woodland as the result. Several other States now have an "arbor day," the dates of which are annually proclaimed by the gover nors thereof; and under the impetus inus given to tree planting, large areas are at present covered wilh an artificial growth m Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota April lClh was "arbor day" in Pennsvl vania, and was geueratly celebrated by iree planting mrougnout tile state, es pecially by the school children. Iu New Jersey, New Hampshire, Massachusetts ami Connecticut a similar day was also observed, though not so generally, but the idea bus been received with favor and the custom promises to take root, the National itureau of Education has recently issued a circular on this subject, more especially intended to en courage the planting of trees in school grounds, and by school children, but al so calculated to promote the limn" in this mauurr of public highways; its can tents are such, likewise, as to impress upon all the importance ot dcinz some thing toward raising an artilicial growth to counteract our present enormous drain upon the original forests. 1 rees increase the raiulali, but pre vent flood; they mitigate the rigor of winter, and stop the progress and feroc ity of storms: and, though tree culture seems so slowly remunerative, some of our be?t ii. formed agriculturists and economists look upon tree planting as, in tUeeud. among the best paying of in vestments which cwners of land can make. Without waiting for our State Legisla ture to take action in this important matter, the people of Umatilla county indeed ot all Eastern Uresan shoul not lose sight of the advantages of culti vating trees, which enhance so materi ally the beauty and value of farms. lictrov.li;; Crtps, The vseatker of tiis past week has becu just what was needed to insure au abundant harvest. The rains have been gantle, warm aud suSicieut, and came in tuo nick of time. - All' parts of the orthwest have been benefitted by them and ia every section the'people are hopeful of large and excellent crops. Later reports confirm tho estimates of wheat acreage given earlier in tho sea son. The increase ever last year in the whsle country is about 15 per cent, and the average yield per acre' promises an increase of about three per ceut. In a very few locations the early warm wea ther did a little damage, lot not a sin gle field suffered what could be serious ly called a blight. It is a fortunate characteristic of this climate that spring rains are followed bv cjoI "grewiug' weather. Only ' once ia the history of the State has hot weather followed a season of showering. The wheat fields are now past all the spring uncertain ties, and we have the prospect of the largest grain harvest . ever garnered in the State. The outlook for the fruit harvest is equally good. Small fruits are thrifty, as they always are and orch ards everywhere are bowed down with their growing burdens. Cherries, ap pies, plums, prunes, iu tact all the or chard fruits, arc in the best possible condition, and tho yield will be very large. Vegetables promise well as usu al, but it is reported that the potato crop will be short, owing to an unusu ally small plauting. On the whole, this promises to be a banner year for the Northwest iu the whole range of pro- dHctisn, and this means prosperity in every department of busiaess, Ortgo- man.

GatUlier, on Little Butter creek and turned bis saddle hoife in Tom Scott's pmture. I luring the niht the boys were awakened by h.-aring horses running past. In t!ie tnoruing the horse was missing from the pasture. Search was made iu the neihborhod, but the animal could not he found. Subsequently Mr. Knja'iiiii met Tom Scett, who informed him that a hurse valued at $100 aud a saddle had been stolen from kiui the same ni,lit. No lue to the thieves. The berse stolen from Mr. Benjamin belonged to J. W. Croft and was valued at seveutv-ave dollars. Last Monday George Proebstel, soa of G. W. Proebstel of this plare, was hauling wood from the mountains. In coming out of the timber with a loaded wagon, upon which lie was sitting, one f the wheels ran agaiot a stump. The jjlt threw the boy from the wagon. In attempting to save himself he fell back- war and hetween the wheel of the wagon. Tne horses started rapidly for ward and )ho oua of the hiud Wheels Jiassed over the boys bead, cutting a earful gash. The blood squirted from bis ear and nose in copious streams. His uncle, Mr. Wa.-en blast, who was with him and wituesxed the accident, procured a buggy and brought the boy berte to tows. At this writing ho is getting along nicely. It is surprising that he was not instantly killed. The loose, soft earth upon which he fell prol - ably account for bis tscaj e. Sew Kinrs. A few weeks ago a party freni Day ton consisting of John Mustard, M. M. (lodiuan and others, while prospecting in the country on Snake river, found a lediie of mineral at a point six miles above the mouth of the Grande iloude river, and half a mite west of Suake river, which they thought w orth trying. A shaft four feet in depth was sunk, and specimens of the rock sent to Den ver for assay. The report returned was of silyer to the ton. The vein is eighteen inches ia width ou the sur face, and has been traced 1200 feet. 0a the retain of the report ot the as sayer, part of the discovering patty re turned to the mine and they have since been followed by others, until now about 100 men, principally residents of Dayton and vicinity, are said to bo in the new milling region searching for other leails. Steamlwats have rnn. without difTicuitv. to witliiu six miles of the ledge, iyid it is thought thev can be run up Suake river much farther wilh Mile trouble. A good trail leads to the mine. If the mine proves as valuable as its disenverera think, it will cause a mining camp to grow there with great rapidity, and prove of grest benefit to the whole couniry. The dis coverers have set a force of men at work and are going to ship a ton or more ef the ore to the smelting works aud make a practical test. This mine is in Wash ington Territory, just north of the Ore gon line. W. W. Union. Present, M. L. Olmsted, Judge; J. P, Uusliee, Uierte, and J. 11. 1'arkes, dei: utv; Wm. Martin, Sheriff; E.
