One of our Oregon City mill propri

coiiehi'le, with regard to crop prospects

Winter wheat will invariably be a light
vieM per acre. The 1; ist side will av
i-rae one-fourth less than the crop of
list year, making a .shortage ot lj.oon

wheat is light, will, notwithstanding.

The general summary of the situa
tion is, that while the Willamette val

harvest average, this di-lieieuev will be

The prominent men of Jinn county

over Capt. J. W. Cochran's proposition
for an opposition line of steamboats on
the Willamette river. A committee of

one-half of that amount was nledere'd
within an hour after the moetiiiir ad

their boats will probably be running

The following beautiful lines were

fectionately dedicated to the parents
and friends of Miss Ihnma Strang,"
the young lady who died in Astoria on
the evening of the 'Jth inst.
Gone I thou art gonol and thy dedicate
form
No more shall our human oyes evor
behold ;
Oh I the sad thought sweeps over our
minds like a storm,
And a burden falls on us of anguish
untold.
Sad moments, sad hours, Middays, and
sad years
A3', a lifetime of mourning for theo
will there be ;
When the night-candle flickers and
dies, will 'our tears
Flow afresh in tho darkness and sad
ness for thee.
Hopes of living, and loving, and work
ing for theo
Have died with thy death, and are
hid in thy tomb;
May the God of love ever in tonderncss
freo
Our hearts from desponding despair
and its gloom.
Ay, free them and till thorn with overa
hope
Of meeting and loving in Glory at
last,
When life with its various troubles is
lived.
Aim tieatn w an its nvcr or terror is
past.
Hail now, and farowell to the love of
our heart :
Mav she rest, sweetlvrcst. in her cold

A Harvest ot Health.
Thorte who use Ilostetter's Stomach
Hitters as a means of invigoration and
protection against disease, invariably
reap an am plo harvest of health. Di
gestion, excretion and secretion are
rendered regular and vigorous by this
ruling tonic and alterative, and the es
sentials of health being secured, that
blessing naturally follows. Nervous
diseases, intermittent and remittent
fevers, rheumatism, biliousness, and
kidney or bladder troubles are speedily
relieved by tne miters, wnicn are as
potent in preventing these maladies as
in remedying them. And it may
almost be said that their over of pre
venting diseases is as strong a recom
mendation in their favor as their power
of curing them, especially in localities
where febrile complaints of an inter
mittent type prevail, and where the
ordinary resources of tho pharmaco
poeia, such as quinine, arsenic, bis
muth, etc., afford 110 adequate safe
guard.
The Hitters are also highly desirablo
as a substitute for the ordinary nervines
and sedatives. The hydrate of chloral
and the bromide of potassium are both
highly pernicious drugs, tho first
clouding the brain and, it is said, weak
ening the tonicity of the venous sys
tem ; and the latter ruining the digestion
and infesting the blood. Hostetter's
Hitters achieves the' remedial purpose
of both these medicines, which is to
sooth the brain and nerves, without
causing any hurtful after effects, but
on the contrary, toning as well as
soothing the irritated sensorium. The
nervous invalid who uses this suporla-
tivo vecretable nervine, tmds in it a
source of unspeakal le relief, and of un
wonted vitality as wen.
