r O o o o ' o b i ; G O Ci O" Q C: O o O THE-EflTEHPBiS OREGON CITr, OREGON', )IAIU IUS, IS?. ! The Herald's Suspension and Dis- O The Oregon Herald of last Wednes day contained a card, which ue pub lish else where, from Mr. Hallock, President of the Herald Printing Company, announcing the suspension of that papcr.Q And so the Hrrald has ceased to exist, and worst of all, it has in its dying spasms disgraced j itself and humiliated the Democratic party in this State, ly renouncing its former noble conduct in regard to monopolies, and by giving in its ad hesion to Mr. Holla lay. To be sure, Mr.-llalloek in his card disavows this act, and refers to the card of Mr. Charles Jewell, in which that young man declares li I alone am responsi ble " for the infamous article of Tuesday morning. But we cannot, and we 'say itovith regret, absolve Mr. Hallock from all blame thus eas ily. It is the imperative duty of a man in Mr. 1 hillock's position o either superintend the columns of the paper under his control or in trust it to some faithful and respon O siblo person. Mr. Newell, who nvows tli.it he li has for several months past acted as editor," was formerly a local on the Bulbil,,, and has gcnerelly been conceded to sym- JU-LhlZO Wltll -ul. JlUiiuiun a Ji"""" er, and ho v and why he has been jdaced ami kept in charge of the Ha ul I fosAso long, is a wonder, if it was not for his politiosd sympathies, iis there was nothing else to recom mend him for that position. And when-.Mr. Hallock asserts that the y editorial allusions of Tuesday's issue astonished and pained us," we are still morn astonished that Mr. New ell should have been left in charge of 'i'uesday's issue, as the issue of S un- ulay morning previous contained an editorial note of the same tenor which .excited general suspicion, and which should have caused at once his im mediate removal from the position by Mr. Hallock, if the latter gentle man did not endorse the same. The Cgreat fact stands out that the Herald, just as it went down, craven-like struck its Hag to the enemy, instead of going down with colors living. Again, in its very last issue, Mr. CNewe'l i allo-ved ills li?ad of the e iilorial columns to spit his venom at Democrats who have opposed Mr. (JI jlhulay. This-., should not hafe been allowed. He should have been, removed from the editorial charge instead of being allowed to sully the ci lumns of that issue by the Ccni jany of that paper with such twsid ..lle, -if it did not suit the publishers. We are sorry that the Herald is thus allowed to go down. Py virtue of the Govt rnor's veto of the Portland Police Pill, the principal owners of that paper enjoyed perquisites salli eient to have kept it uj in good style. This thing was expected of them and w is obligatory upon them. Put in stead of doing this, they allow the paper to go down upon their hands, and thus deprive the party of this State of a central organ at the Me O Propolis, but by so doing they will be enabled to pocket the perquisites of their offices without conferring any thing in return. We cannot but l,' mi that tho Democratic party of Oregon will be conwpolled to hold the present, Publishing Company of the o I fern! j: responsible for its suspension O and for its bitter, stinging disgrace -at such suspension. - The Herald of Thursday has come to hand since the above was written. Jt does not state who its owner or m lit or isbut in its editorial is an O no-.mcod that the Herald proposes to be an ' independent journal." In the absence of other information, we presume Mr. Newell has control of the concern and proposes to take the course indicated in the issues of last Sunday and Tuesday. If he docs, tlie career of the Herald will be of short duration. Nuw Bridges. We learn that it is contemplated to build the bridge across the Clackamas, and also across th Mohilla. by tlie County Commis sioners. The judge was requested, at their last meeting to ascertain during the past month what these bridges could be b lilt for, and to report at th- next session of the Court. We believe that both these bridges are an imve.-ative necessitv to a large portion of our citizens, and we hope that the County Commis s. oners w.ll make arrangements for uheir construction at an early date. Good Appointment. ItVould be liant'to make all poor appointments in Oregon out of the many which have Wen made. The appointment of Judge O. N. Denny, as Consul at Vmoy, China, is a good one, and we "believe will result to the best inter ests of our State. Tne Judge is a Pf -'publican, but a clever and able rontleman, and we; are glad that the selection has fallen on such a wor thv citizen. New Tapek. We have received the first number of the Forest Grove Independent, published by Messrs. Wheeler .fc Myers, at Forest Grove, Washington county. The paper pre sents a neat appearance, is well filled with local and miscellaneous reading matter. We wish the now candidate the bt-st of 6iiecess. It is independ ent in politics, o O O - - 1 Questions Asked and Answered. , . , ! The following questions Lave ,en asked Capt. J. T. Apperson, cf tins j city, by Dr. M. C.

The falls of the Willam ette are located here, and this has been the transshipping point hereto fore for the entire Valley. A great deal of freight is yet re-shipped here, but the opening of the falls by means of the ('anal and Locks, will eventu ally cause most of the freight to pass through without re-handling. The Oregon City Woolen Mills are the principal manufacturing institution in Oregon, which are located here. Their fabrics have become famous through the whole Union. They were destroyed bv lire last September, but are now in rapid process of re-building, and are expected to be in full operation by the first of August next. They employ about 120 men when in operation. The Clackamas paper mills, (this is a sample of their jiaper) is located on the Clackamas river, about lJainiles from this place; there are two fine llouring mills in this city the Imperial and Orgeon City Mills both of which have an estab lished reputation in the markets both of San Francisco and Europe. There are sash and door factories. wa,ron factovic.;, buggy fac tories, tub ;iari barrel factories, Machine shops and other industries carried on here. The v.-atcr povcr on both .sides of the river, being derived from the falls of the Willamette, a fall efforty odil feet, is not surpassed in the world, and can 1 e Lad for f-mall con sideration for manufacturing pur poses. There is ample room for the investment of a million of dollars in this city in different manufacturing enterprise..'., which would pay hand somely. Oregon is not yet devel oped, and whenever capita! will take hold she can bo made the richest State in the Union. The Side Senator Mitdhell is making a clean sweep of those Federal officials who dared to oppose his election, and has, we believe chopped the heads off the last one of them. How this sets on friends of the Corbett officials, may be judged from the following, which we take from the liusehurg P,i,,i.i 'jraj'h.

The election in New Hampshire resulted in no election of Governor by the people, although Straw, the Bopublican can didate, received si plurality of votes. Democratic Congressmen were elec ted in each of the three districts. A. W. Ilibbard in the First, S. X. Boll in the Second and II. W. Parker in the Third. The Pepublieans have a majority in the Legislature, and will no doubt, elect Straw Governor. An old man named Win. Layfield, who lived in Oakland, started to go from the house of General Williams to Mr. Aaron Alden's some three wei-ksago, and nothing has been seen or hoard of him since.

The loxst Conquest. O The Orcjtyi'tn of last Wednesday has the following in relation to tho late capture made by Mr. Ilolladav; MrIIolIaday has at last effected a conquest, the magnitude (?) of which exceeds that of any of that jierson's achievements hitherto. We allndo to his capture of the Herald of this city. All the fulsome laudations of the great Holladsiy which have ap peared in tho columns of the Bulletin are fairly outdone by the Herald of yesterelay morning, which is filleel inside and outside with the praises of the master of the railway, ring. Even the j imposition of ajittle seven-by-nine sheet up the Valley, that a monument be built to commemorate the exploits of this living Credit Mo bil icr is tame sindr cokl compared to the zeal with which the Herald c-dit-orially beslobbers him. That jour nal having been heretofore regarded as opposed to the schemes by which Mr. Ilolladav has enforced" his ex actions and enriched himself at the expense of the people of Oregon, its suddenly turning round and becom ing tho most obsequious of his pup pets, is a surprise and a mystery-. We have seldom witnessed more gen eral and outspoken indignation and disgust than that which was man ifested on the streets yesterday among the HerahVs readers" It was the commonly expressed sentiment that the paper could not .possibly survive so shameless a betrayed of its patrons. Whsit induced this sudden conver sion of the Herald to the views of tho Holladay ring? we are unable to say. Various speculations havo been in dulged in, ending in conjecture only. It is said on the streets that the strip ling who has been in charge since the retirement of Col. Taylor has been0" seen, " but by whom or how, does not transpire. What n earth Mr. Holhidsiy could wantSvith tho Herald we cannot conceive. It would be the third wheel of a cart to him. It is not unlikely, however, that his inordinate vanity may have induced him to pay the ad interim editor of the Herald for this act of literary prostitution, and that wo may have no more of it. This would be in keeping with tho vulgar love of display which could prompt sk man to hire samites tired on his ar rivals and departures. If this is tho true exphmation of the lferahVs flun koyism, the? blame attaches, of Jjoursc, mainly to the temporary editor whose principles set so lightly upon him thsit they can be cast oil' like a gsir rucnt whenever there is any induce ment to lay them asides We shall svualt the developments cf the futunP in the premises with some interest. C. regon and Her lesources The Web foot State had exported, u ji to the 31st of December, a total of ten thousand tons of wheat and Hour, leaving on hand a residue of eighteen thousand tons, including what is already contracted for ship ment. The agent cf the Oregon Steamship Comjsmy informs us tlsr-t the reduction of trips on the Portland route was owing to the fact that, while there was an abunelance of freight oU'ering for San Francisco from Portland, the ships bound North were compelled to go to sea with scarcely any cargo. It seems incredible, tho disproportion between what Ore.gem can produce and what her jeopie can consume. Now tho yield of the Willamette Valley is rre greater to the acre than most jnirts of the Ssicrsimento Valley, nor is tho qusdity or wheat produced there su perior to tho siveiv.ge grown within our own Stsite. Put it is the regu larity and certainty cf her crops thsst miies Oregon groat among tho wheat-growing States. Drouths an, unkinwn, and whenever farmers got into bankruptcy, it is more attribu table to mismanagement than ar.y other cause. Another growing industry of Oregon is her coal bed, which lies in the county of Coos, and which is rapidly developing into a source of vast wealth. This led of coal is t? ho found sdl over Coos Pay, and stretches through to the Coqnille river on the "outh. These mines ro now being worked on si very exten sive scale, and one of them recently jaid si dividend of five dollsirs jier sluire for tho jisist quarter. As tho carriage by sailing vessels is slo-w ami uncertain, this Corujany are building an.I equij ping a line cf jroj;el!crs, which T-iB make the run between San Francisco r.nd Empire City in fourty hours. And this i only si beginning of the prosperity that awaits Oregon in tho develop ment of her coal leads. Lsist but not least, are the fisheries of the gresit Columbia, where salmon are caught and -either barrelled fer the American markets, or canned for shipment to Australia. The amount of capital invested in this branch of industry already runs uj into tho millions, and it .gives employ men t to hundreds of iji.cn. Tho increase of this trside hsis been very great in tho ast two years. The principal estab lishments are at Astoria, Eagle Cliff Wcstport, Cathlamet and "llainier That at Eagle Cliff is the largest, and was founded bv two brothers named Hu mo, from Sacramento, who are now reai ing a filie harvest from their enterprise.
