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

located Port-
north twice per day, sso that facilities
for travel are most excellent from
this point. 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.

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

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. Saucelito Herald
