The harvest in Clackamas comity is facarly corajjleted, and from every sec tion we learn that the crop? are tnrniug out remarkably well. The yield is un usually heavy, whiles the amount sown is much greater than any previous year. It is estimated by some w ho know, that this county will have fully one-half more surplus wheat, oats and barley than any previous year. In no instance Lave we learned of a short crop. The brush lands which have been cleared are yielding remarkably heavy crops, and that of the finest quality of wheat. Many of the new fields which were cleared this season have yielded enough to pay for the original cost of the land, clearing and expense of the crop, leav ing the owner his property free the first year. There are hundreds of thousands of acres in this county termed brush land, which can to-day be bought at from $5 to 8, and cleared at an expense Df from 15 to 20, which will produce from 25 to 35 bushels of wheat. The farmers of our county are seeing that these brush lands are really valuable, and are clearing them very rapidly and putting them into cultivation. We Lave heretofore said that Clackamas countj is the best in the State for an industrious farmer. We are more than ever convinced of this f .ict. The lands are cheap, and if the farmer has but a limited amount of capital, he can, in a -very few years, clear the brush oil his land and have a fine farm as the result of his own industry. If he has a small sum of money to invebt on tho start, he can hire help to open his farm, and when it is open it will not cost him as .much ns lands are held at in the prairie sections of our State. The Clackamas county farmer will get from 10 to 35 cents per bushel more for his wheat than the' farmer of Polk, Marion, Linn, Lane or Douglas county. Ho is at a market all the rest of his life, and has a sure thing for chap transportation. Taking the result of this year, and the money which our farmers will gut for this year's crop, we feel sure that many rich brush farm:j will be cleared and put into wheat tho coining year, and before long tho.so who are seeking homes will regret that they did not locate in a county that i unsurpassed in its productive capacity, noted for the cheapness of it3 lands, and its close proximity to market. Clackamas county has a bright future before it, and ere many years pass around, will be quoted ed as one of the principal farming conn ties of the State, and while laud to-day can be had at a reasonable figure, they will continue to increase until it will be more valuable than land in any other part of the Willamette valley. The county has now tho reputation of beir.:, one of the most healthy spots on the face of the earth, and the banner fruit section of the State. In less than eight years it will compete for tho title of be ing the banner wheat county in Oregon. This is no idle prophesy. If any doubt the correctness of our views, let them look back five years and make and esti mate between what was raised in this county then and what is raised tho present yoar. Let tho same ratio of increase continue fortho next eight years, and the county is capable of a greater increase, and we shall raise at least 2,000.000 bushels of wheat at that time. We see a bright and glorious future in store for old Clackamas. The latest news from the Indian war eeems to favor the rumor of Sitting Bull and Joseph combining their forces, and a general outbreak among the tribes in Montana. If the two chiefs should unite, the settlers in Montana and Idaho will be in a very ticckleish position The Indians are well supplied with tho best guns and plenty of ammunition, fur nished by the rascally traders, and they will be almost able to bid defiance to our skeleton of an army. The Demo crauc poncy oi reirencnment in our already small enough military force, is bearing its fruits; costing bar'ls of mon ey, and many innocent lives. 'The Russians have been badly used by the Turks in every engagement dur ing the past week or t wo.and the baggy breeches are still pushing them. The Russians, who started out on the offen sive, are now acting entirely on the de fensive, and their opponents are jubi lant over the turn in affairs. The latest news from the seat of war says next week promises to be a bloody one. The summer is going, and decisive results bocome every day of more importance io the Russian, for there are indications not to be disregarded, financial and po litical, which are against tho probability of a continuance of the war into an other campaign. Sitting Bull and his warriors have again put in an appearance across the Canadian line, in tho vicinity of Fort Benton, lie has a large force and will doubtless cause a little activity in tho war department. The depreciation of the value of the real estate in the three States of New York, Pennsylvania and' Ohio, during the past eight years, amounts to a sum sufficient to pay off our entire national debt. Tho Democrats of Iowa have nomin ated the following ticket: Governor, John P. Irish: Lieutenant Governor, W. James; Sepreme Judge, II. E. J. ! Boardman; Superintendent Public In ? unction, G. I). Collon. Pendleton's Fantastic Ruiu. In his speech at Columbus, Ohio, re marks an exchange, which may be re garded as the first gun of the fall cam paign in that Stf.te, George II. Pendle ton attributed all the troubles of the country to the Republican policy of paying the debt contracted during the war in coin, end of resolving to resume on the 1st of January, 1879. lie as serted that by tho law of their issue the five-twenties were payable in green backs,j "Yet," said he, "a Republican CoLgress passed tho law of 18G9,where by it was declared that they should be paid in coin. This single Act added $800,000,000 to the value of the bonds in the hands of the bondholders, and added that mnch to the burden already imposed upon labor." Further on he said: "The threat of resumption in 1879 hangs like a pall over the country, and shrouds every industry in mourning." And again, "Eveay enterpriseVlependent on labor and capital combined in the land, declares that resumption cannot be effected in 1879 withont utter ruin and yet tho money power mercilessly, brutally even, in these days of anguish, demands contraction and resumption." Mr. Pendleton, the author of these remarks, is quite a distinguished citi zen of Ohio. He is a lawyer of good standing, and once aspired to the Presi dency. The revelations made in Con gress some time ago, indicated that ho could turn a sharp corner in railroad manipulation. Nobody ever charged him with being weak-minded, or sus pected him of insanity. But, for all that, the solemn declaration above quoted would go very far, before an impartial tribunal, toward establishing the lattDr fact. According to him one of the present stagnation is that wo have resolved to pay our debt, lo pay them in greenbacks, as Mr. rendlton holds wo should have done, would bo only to take up one note with another. When he first rave expression to this opinion, the country was not well uj in the intricacies of finance. There was some excuse perhaps for the error into which he had been betrayed through lack of proper study. Since then the nonsense of tho thing has been dinned in his ears by a thous and tongues, but no effect whatever has been produced. upon him. After long intervals the old Saurian comes to the surface reiterating the same exploded fallacy without a ch angeof countenance If there is any meaning at all to Mr 1 endleton s assertions, it is that we are going to the dogs because we have re solved to par our debts. In other words, we are ruining ourselves in try ing to conceal a national bankruptcy, which undoubtedly exists. Cheating public creditors was the only way out for ns. but we refused to pursue that dishonorable path. For this act of folly Mr. Pendleton has not words donuncia tory enough. Rut he is careful not tojnit his theory in this shape: yet it means this or nothing. And this he now sup plements with the idea that resumption in 1879 will finish us without benefit of clergy. Resumption is rather a sonorous word. There may bo some deadly principle lurking in it. But it only means, in tho financial aspect, a return to the nor mal conditions of commerce and indus try. The country stood up bravely un der the successive steps by which the National paper advanced from 37 cents on the dollar to 94 cents. It did not get ruined at all during that ener getic march toward a sound business basis. On the contrary, during a large portion of the time quite an unexampled prosperity prevailed. It is the few last pennies that are producing all the evil Greenbacks have ranged at 94 for a long time. They have advanced two cents and a fraction within a brief jieriod ana tnis is the cause ot all oi our woes according to Mr. Pondleton. Tho ad vance from 37 cents to 94 cents, quite a heavy jump, was scarcely felt at all It is the rise from 94 to 9G cents that is the cause of our present undoing. If this is not as bald nonsense as Mr, Pendleton's other proposition, we con fess au inability to define what it is mi. , i . . i .. j-uis is an assertion that the rising credit of tho Government is fatal to the prosperity of the nation. If it could only exhibit some weakness financially, the presumption is that we would be all right again. It will certainly be ad- ! 1 1. 1 it .1 mniea mat an individual could never. get into this curious condition. The man who has been submittng to the shaving of tho money lenders, would never be considered to be going head long to ruin at the time that his credit was bo much improved, that the period when he could be able to pay out dollar for dollar could not be far off. But for all that, thero are a great many people who will believe that all that Mr. Pen dleton has advanced in this connection is sound and true. We have destroyed ourselves because we have resolved to pay our debts honestly, aDd because still further our credit as a nation has so far improved" that paper is rapidly nearing specie in value. That is the gist of Mr. Pendleton's argument. ' Temperance. The following was adopted by the M. E. Conference at Seattle last Saturday: Whekeas, The manufacture and the traffic in intoxicating drinks is a fruit ful source of four-fifths of the pauper ism and crime, the wretchedness, sick ness, insanity and death which afllict the world, therefore Resolve-!, That we, as a conference, will wage incessant war against these giant evils of the day; that we will ex hort our people to vote for a prohibi tory law and will go with them to tho polls, and that we will never falter nor occ-cie iu tuis great moral is final eor.uxratuatiou. work until The Cause of Crime. There has been a marked incroaso in crime in this country for the past ten years. Statistics of our housos of re form and penitentiaries give us undis puted evidence of this fact. One of the greatest reasons for this is that too many of our people refuso to give their children an honorable trade. The well-to-do farmer starts his son to school, gives him an education, and relies on that to carry him through tho world, without any practical use of what edu cation he has. If tho same amount of labor had been bestowed on a boy, after ho had acquired a good English educa tion, such as our common schools afford, to put into practical use his en ergies and knowledge, in a trade, or on the farm, he would h able to make an honorable living, and be a benefit to society generally. But too many expect to make their living by a profession or behind a counter. This class is entirely too numerous, while the number who expect to make their way through the world by an honorable trade or by work on a farm, are daily decreasing. There is no doubt but what this is one of the principal causes of the rapid increase of crime in this country, and parents should see the evil tendencies, and in stead of expecting to place their chil dren in a placo of ea.-o nd luxury, teach them that they must earn their daily bread by honorable labor. The want of teaching boys trades has fully as much to do with increasing the num bers in tho penitentiaries as the want of education. A report recently made by the inspectors of the Eastern Peni tentiary, Pennsylvania, shows that this failure to teach boys a trade has as di rect a tendency to lead them to become criminals as a lack of general education the latter of which has been placed at the bottom of all crime. Of one hurt drod and eighty prisoners admitted to this penitentiary during 1S76 under the age of twenty-five years and convicted for the first time, one unndred and thirty-five could read and write, and one hundred and thirty had attendod 11"- 1 1 J .' ... . puDuu suuuois. ji tins number one hundred and thirty-seven had never boon taught any trade. Referring to these statistics the report says: If popular education is free, if it is compulsory, as in some States the law declares it to be, then ought trade in struction to be prevented by the rules of voluntary associations which assume to determine how many of the vontl are to learn such handicraft? Tho pub lic want demands skilled educated la bor, and 'a public school' should a least do accessible to those who desire to possess mind-culture the better to qualify them for trade instruction. We say that every young man ought to have a trade, and that our farmers who sond their children to town iu tho hope that they may gain an easier living are doing them a great injustice. They had bettor teach them to become goo farmers, and, if industrious and econ uiuieai, mev win do ueiter ou there than in tho over-crowded towns; but i Ihoy do send them to town, let thorn learn a trade. Likely to be Abandoned. Thero is a rumor that tho call for an extra session of Congress will be re caned uy tue president, and that no session will be held until December when tho long session commences Some of our exchanges are very urgent to have Congress convened, while the administration seem3 to have lo3t tho personal or desired interest in the mat ter. We do not see why an extra ses sion of Congress is actually necessary six weeks before the regular long term. Of course, uhould Congreba meet in October, its session will bo a contin uous one until next summer's heat will drive the members from Washington, making the session probably ten months long. Thero can be no good reason presented why this extra session should be held so close to the regular one. There is no urgent need for it. In fact, if the administration has been able to get along without the army appropria tion bill so long, there is no reason why it cannot do so until tho regular term, which is only six weeks later. We believe it would be best if the call for the extra session were with drawn, for many reasons. In the first place, the country is just at present merging from a labor convulsion which almost threatened to become a war, and the passions of the people have not quieted down yet, and hasty and incon siderate legislation on this labor issue will be the result. In a number of the States east elections occur in October, and tlie demagogues in both parties are using this labor question as a political trick for success, and keeping alive the bad feeling between labor and capital. If thero is no session until December, the public mind will have become set tled, and we may expect more judicious and able legislation. There is work for Congress to do, and important work. The labor question no doubt has open ed the eyes of the people to the great importance of legislation which shall prevent the recurrance of the horrible scenes which transpired in the great railroad centers of the nation; the tariff and finances of the country need careful attention, and should be handled at a time when common sense and not pas sion holds swaw in the nation's coun cils. New issues have been com ing up of late with great rapidity, of which the statesmen of the country little dreamed of; these must take a practical form; fanciful topics about which politicians are trying to catch votes, will have to be discarded, and common sense and reason take their place. This cannot be done during boated and wamlv contested elections. COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, Reminiscence of Tonc-As-Kct, j Chief of the Okanagain. j During the summer of 18C5 a white man was supposed by the settlers of Colville valley to have been murdered bp two Indians, one of whom was a brother of Tone-As-Ket, chief of ; the Okanagans, whoso name appears in the list of those who signed the treaty recently at Spokane falls. Tone-As-Ket, who then resided in British Columbia, learning the rumor took his suspected brother and brought aim over the line and turned him over to me us commanding officer at Fort Cloville. I turned him over as a pris oner to the civil authorities of Stevens county for trial. At the preliminary examination the excitement ran very high against the prisoner, and threats to take him from the jail and hang him wore freely indulged in by tho citizens; but the presence of U. S. troops, with the knowledge that they would be used to protect the life of tho suspected man uutil he was fairly and legally tried and condemned, prevented any such out rage. After obtaining all the evidence available, the prisoner was held to await tho' result of a search made by the Sheriff for the missing man. lie was finally discharged, as the white man proved to be living during all the three weeks of the brother's detention. Tone-As-Ket, though he knew nothing of tho details of the alleged murder or of tho whereabouts of tho supposed murdered man, seemed perfectly confi dent that tho authorities would protect and give his brother a fair trial. At another time tho British Gold Commis sioner for tho Kootenai district entrust ed Tone-As-Ket with 12,000 in gold dust to transport from Kootenai to Victoria, and he faithfully performed his trust. When he sat at my table in my quarters at Port Colville, I felt that a child of nature as ho was, yet in any country. he was Chielaii F. O. McCowx. The Lolo Trail. Mr. Thomas Sutherland, writing to the San Francisco Chronicle, after his journey through tho Lolo Puss, speaks as follow.--: I am something of a traveler myself. and never m tins country cr Europe have I passed over such a wild and pre cipitous road, lhe Miuvais Fas at Chamounix, and the terrible Tete Noir, the ascent of Mt. Washington in the White Mountains, or the mule ride to Yoeemito, may be very jjerilous to sum mer pleasure-seekers; but the Lolo trail, 175 miles in length, is ous succes sion of almost impassable mountains, where "alps on ab3 arise," where the trail is almost lost in the gigantic rocks and rendered a perfect network with fallen timber and where no person of sane mind, not even a member of the English Alpine Club, would think of going for pleasure. Per four days our animals had to travel without grass, feodiug ou bushes at other times almost repulsivo to them; whiio not the slight est sign of humanity was discernible along the entire route, save dead horses and Indian hieroglyphics on the trees. I should like to tell yon of a beautiful spot for a summer resort, where boiling springs issue from a solid rock, which, but for the significant sulphurous odor, I might readily believe to have been the one s.raoto by the mighty Moses. I could dwell on the beautiful scenery cf 2lnce, and literally in the place itself, with keen delight, but must doal with sterner duties. A monthly periodical called The Lftbor World, says the OreyotiUui, has appeared hero. It is understood that its editor is Mr. A. C. Edmunds. As nearly as we can make ont its purpose, it appears to bo devctod to the idea that politics and legislation are i;i tome way to change the order of nature and re lieve mankind of the necessity of hard work. It assumes that accumulations of property are stolen from labor, re jects the principle that rates of labor must depend on the relation of demand and supply, and builds on a crude com bination of visionary theories as to labor, money, politics and legislation. All such elforts are necessarily short lived. When all is said, men who live by selling their labor must take for it what they can get, that is, the market rate, just as one who has eggs to sell must accept for them the market price, or as another who has money to lend must be content with the current rate of interest. No legislation will ever change these facts, and tho man who spends his time in political schemes for such an end will find always that he has wasted it. The Northern Pacific Railroad, which broke the back of Jay Cooke & Co., and hastened t he financial crisis under which the country has suffered ever since, is itself doing well. The Eastern and Western sections built, 585 miles, are in good order, and last year gave net earnings of $300,000. The country along the line is being rapidly settled, and lands of the corporation are being sold for cash, or exchanged for the bonds of the corporation. With in creased business tho road must be com pleted at no very distant, day. Boston and New England have an interest in this enterprise. The whole road from Lake Superior to the Pacific will be built as soon as Boston can run a road through the Iloosac tunnel to Lake Superior to meet it; and that is exactly what Boston needs. Ifeicbtiriport Herald. Advices from New York indicate that the Tilden wing of the Democracy in that state will be beaten in the coming state convention in its efforts to secure the renomination of John Bigelow and other state officers, Allen C.

An official Russian newspaper, after an elaborate review of the sums already expended on the war, draws the conclu sion that if jt lasts till next autumn it will cost not less than 850,000,000 rou bles, of which 232,000,000 have already been expended .

Ten thousand people responded to the call to-day to witness the ceremonies attend ing the dedication of the old John Brown monument. Dr. Updergroff, chairman ot tho committee, called the meeting to order and introduced Gov. Chas. Robins as president of the day. Kev.. Adair, brother-in-law of John Brown, made the prayer, in which he thanked God that lie had made of one blood all nations of men. Senator In galls, orator of the day, was then intro duced and made a speech an hour long, being constantly applauded. After din ner, Chas. Laagdon delivered a speech, formally dedicating the monument. Short speeches were made by Hon. D. li. Haskill, Col. D. 11. Anthony, and others. A resolution was adopted re questing the Legislature of Kansas to make an appropriation to procure a statute of John Brown, in bronze or marble, to be placed in the hall of stat uary of the national capitol as a gift to the nation. Many leading men of the State were present, and the meeting was pronounced a grand success. Washington, Sept. 1. President Hayes' visit to New England continues to show its good results in the marked change in Republican sentiment in his favor, the conviction becoming general there that his southern policy presented the only course open to him with any prospect of success. The president is credited with having promptly con verted some Democrats to his sup2ort, recently, by saying of Republicans who disagree with him en the civil service: "These people don't comprehend that I mean just what I say. It is my busi ness to take care of the administration of the government; the people will take care of politics. If the civil service is thoroughly purified in New York, there will no troublo inE-thc rest of the terri tory. Postoliices established: Parkersburg, Ceos Co., Oregon, Weldou T. Hanson, postmaster.

Patterson, Kalama, Cowlitz Co., W. T.; Miss Margaret J. Jenkins, Whatcom, AVliatcom Co.,W.T. Public sentiment in favor of 'a more liberal provision for the regular array is beiug wonderfully quickened by the fact that Sitting Bull's fighting force outnumbers all that government can put in the field against him and Joseph, if the expected junction of tho savage chieftains shall be effected, lhis spec tacle and the lessons of the strikers' riots have stimulated propositions for array increase of 50 per cent., and the reposal iu the president of discretionary power to temporarily increase the force when necessary. New YoitK, Sept. I. Tho Tribunes special from Salt Lake says Young's will was read to-day in the prosence of all his wife and children and a few friends. Brigham Young, Jr., George Q. Cannon and Albert Carrington are named as his executors. The estate is largely real estate, aud probably worth two million of dollari. The will was made four yfars ago, and his youngest child born of Mary Yancott was then three years old. Young was father of fifty-six children, and left seventeen wives, sixteen sous and twenty-eight daughters. Tho will aims to mako an equitable division of property between all his wives and children, with no preference to any. Most all of them already had something deeded to them. On this a valuation was set, and it is to lie charged to the recipients as part of their share, though not neces.-arily at the valuation lie put on it. That is to be equitably adjusted when the estate is divided upou tlie youngest child coming of age. .Meanwhile the income j is to go to tho various mothers accord ing to tne number of their eliildren,and they can withhold if the children be havo badly. All are provided for as far their present needs are concerned, nis first wife and children are given a life interest in the Amelia palace, a large modern, now, fine house, but he is known to have changed his mind about that, chiefly because they de clined it for reasons best known to themselves, although nothing in or out of the will has yet come to light, show ing it, and they are not otherwise pro vided for except by their share of the income. Deceased held many interests in trust for the church and for indi viduals. His executors are directed to turn them over the property, as the church is forbidden by law to more than 8500,000 worth of property, and so it was largely held by Young in trust. His friends will not entertain the notion that he ever abused that trust. There is no inventory of property or estate, and it is widely scattered. With the country prospeious, generous and full of money, it would bo worth twice the above valuation. Voreicn. Beeein, Sept. 4.

A dispatch from Paris, just received by all the journals, announces that ex-president Thiers died suddenly at G o'clock yesterday evening at St. Germaine, Pacific Coast. San Feancisco, Sept. 4, A second meeting of the Sacramento river land owners and farmers to discuss the ques tion of Chinese labor and the rental system was held at Isleton on Saturday last, and was largely attended by the influential men of that section. The following resolutions were passed and signed by nearly sixty of the gentlemen - resent: Resolved, That we, whose names are hereunto affixed, solemnly pledge our selves as soon as our present contracts expire, not to rent or lease land to Chi namen, nor to hire them to perform labor upon our ranches. Resolved, further, That we will use our influence to induce others, as far as we can, to dispense with Chinese labor, and we will try to create public opinion against selling them land, and thus drive them peaceably from our country. Resolved, further, That when we rent to white men, we will enjoin upon them not in any case to employ Chinamen upon our lands, and a case they do, they forfeit all claims to our considera tion, and release us morally from the bicding aaturc-of the1) retclutioiis.

Cancer has from time immemorial been a great scourge to t he human race, and is now becoming the greater. For many years it has been held by the medical profession, and gw era:iy heiieved by the people, that Cancer is. incurable; that once its roots take hold upon a victim, there is no chance for a sufferer to. escape a lingering and terrible death ; a death, surrounded by all tlifit is disgusting and hor rible, not only to the sufferer, but to his friends. Happily t his fell destroyer need no longer be feared. Dr. JI. T. Ikmd, of I'hiia dehhia,a well known physician, of large ex perience, has for four years devoted bimseiC tot be six-cial r.tudy and treatment of Cancer, and the result of his experience is his dis covery, ft.r the radical euro of Cancer, without the use of either knife, caustic or plasters, and without pain. The majority of persons are greatly deceived in regard to the first symptoms and appear ance of t his most dreaded disease, considering it painful from the commencement. This is a sad mistake, carrying thousands to an un timely grave. In most cases there is litt le or? no pain until the disease is far advanced. The only symptoms for many months, and even for years, are occasionally a stinginc. darting, stabbing, shooting, smarting, itch ing, burning, crawling or creeping sensation,, and some cases not any or these. If a malady is growing worse instead better, it is conclusive evidence it is of . malignant character, and demands imme diate attention. If you have a branny c'.v warty apiearance, with an occasional break-. ing out of these ujon the face, lip or nose, or any other portion of the skin, attended witn anv of the above svmptoms, oi a sensationor a nv being on it, or a hair tickling it, is cer tain evidence it is Cancer, and there fnouia be no delav in using Dr. Hond s treatment. Eife is too valuable to be tampered with. Dr. Hond's treatment consists of an Ami dote" that is applied locally : this at once ar rests the growt h of the Cancer, and by cheml cal action neutralizes its malignity, rend. r-. ing it harmless and changing it to a son-, which nature, assisted 'V oo''tu-.f n remedies, soon heals (when the skin i h un broken, lir.d theCanc-erisahard tuinor the Ant idote does not make an open sore, but re moves t by absorption ) .
