OREGON CITY, Till RSI) AY, OCT. 11, 177.
Forlnimtc Clackamas County.
Clackamas county i3 most forinnato
this year. Just beginning to become
one of the leading agricultural counties,,
her farmers wove- not so unfortunate as
to Lave larger fields put in than they
had means to secure before the late
heavy rains, and the result is that nearly
all her crop is saved and ready for mar
ket. The wheat is of the best quality,
and finds a ready sale near tho door of
the producer. Our agitation in behalf
of tho improvement of the roads, we
flatter ourself, has accomplished some
thing in thiB direction for tho farmers'
good, and it is to bo hoped more will
be done next year. The fatal rosnlts to
Othr ports of the valley, whero the
farmers had put in more than they
could Bocure within a rcasonablo har
vest time, will bo a lesson to our farm
ers to guard against tho samo results
to them in tho future. The foul and
corrupt soil, which has been caused by
tho use of tho header, will also teach
our farmers not to employ its services
to cut their grain. Tho high price
which is ruling in tho city will bo suffi
cient encouragement to those now en
gaged in farming in this county to in
creaso tho amount of their production
to tho full amount of their ability to
tako care of. They have learned a les
son.with slight cost to them, which will
be of groat benefit. It will cause many
who have been ambitious to cultivate
largo tracts, to confino themselves to
small and thoroughly cultivated farms,
and securo as much from ono hundred
acres as thoso who poorly cultivate get
from two. It will bo the .means of get
ting our farms divided up into smaller
tracts, thus giving us a largo population
of industrious farmers, and fill up tho
different neighborhoods, which will en
able them to make good roads, main
tain schools and improve society.
Our wheat crop has been large, yet it
can and will bo much increased next
year. The late rains have enabled our
farmers to commence alrcaly for a rich
harvest next year. It has damaged a
small quantity of graiu.bnt will cause a
much larger fall crop to bo put in,
which is always tho most profitable,
and tho grass will get a fresh start, so
that the farmer will havo no trouble
with his stock the coming winter. But
this 13 not all in which Clackamas is
fortunate. The fruit crop in portions
of tho State is almost an entire failure.
In Clackamas, which is really tho lead
ing county in this branch in tho Stute,
it is as good, or nearly so, as at any
previous season, and while wo may not
throw as much wheat upon tho market
as some other counties, we shall bo ablo
to furnish a largo surplus of f ruit,which
will add considerable to our revenue.
"While wo do not wish to depreciate
tho greatness and importance of any
other county in tho iriiate, we really
think, taking into consideration the
close proximity to market, tho richness
of the State, tho cheapness of the lands,
Clackamas couuty presents the best in
ducements to farmers of limited means
of any county in the State Wo are not
dependent upon this or that railroad
for transportation; our soil is never-
failing and lands aro cheap, and wo aro
so closo to tho metropolis of tho State
that our freight chargos for what wo
either import or ship away, are nominal.
Croakers may not agroo wilh us, but wo
havo no fear of a successful contradic
tion of this fact. In less than ten years
Clackamas county will be one of the
most populous, prosperous and rich
counties in tho State, and her real ostato
will increase within that time more than
four-fold. Land which can now bo
readily purchased at from 810 to 825
per aero, will then bring from 810 to
5100. Tho Clackamas county farmer
has every reason to feel encouraged,
and when when wo Bhall take that posi
tion which our soil, location, healthful
climate, and ether advantages possessed
by no other county entitle us so richly
to, wo snail 6eo a prosperity cn every
hand that has not been equalled in this
Stato. Clackamas is beginning to be
appreciated, and her futnro is bright
"We can truly say, fortunato Clackamas
county, and happy farmer of a county
which possesses so many advantages.
Coming Out.
Between Bill Watkinds and tho Mer
cury we may expect to learn some of tho
inward workings of tho Democratic
party. Bill is going after tho Mercury
man and others of his party, and the
latter speaks very respectfully of Sweet
William. It is nono of our fight, and
wo only hope that before this little un
pleasantness is settled, the people will
get the whole truth a3 to the manage
ment of oar Stato affairs. Bill says
tho Mercury editor is a black mailer,
while said editor retaliates by calling
William a liar. Tho Mercury has some
advantage over Bill in regard to his
standing for truth, but it is not neces
sary to tako all ho says for the truth in

The X. P. Kailro&d.
' Tho ovil experienced by tho with
drawal and keeping out of market a
great amount of public land, has caused
the people almost to become adverse to
the further extension of the Northern
Pacific Railroad grant, a grant which is
es23ccially calculated to benefit and
advance the intert-Ets of Oregon and
Washington Territory. Even the Gov
ernor of tho above named Territory has
entered his protest against an uncondi
tional further exteusion. Tho people
havo been kept off these lands for the
past ten years simply becauso they
could get no title, and the public lands
not included in this franchiso havo not
been settled upon a3 rapidly as they
should bocause the settler had no as
surance that he was not on land includ
ed in the list of those withdrawn, as
much of thi3 grant remains unsurreyed.
The Governor has the following among
other conditions on which the grant
should bo extended, which wo believe
will meet tho hearty approval of tho
people of Oregon and Washington along
tho line. He says:
Should an extension of ton years or
any other period of time bo granted
without imposing any conditions upon
tho Company ? After a very careful
consideration of the subject, I havo ar
rived at tho conclusion that certain
conditions aro indispensably necessary,
and that no extension should bo grant
ed without imposing them. The request
for an extension of ten years must nec
essarily be based upon an implied
promise or obligation on tho part of the
Company to completo tho road within
that period, and no valid reason can bo
assigned against making this implied
obligation an express ono and compel
ling the Company, not only to complete
the road within the extended period,
but to construct annually a certain
number of miles of road both in Eastern
and Western divisions. Without this,
at a glance it will bo scon that at tho
expiration of ten years or other period
of time which tay bo granted, tho road
may be no nearer completion than it is
to-day.
If the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company has no rcasonablo expectation
of completing tho road within ten years,
then it is its duty to declare this fact
and surrender back to the Government, j
or transfer to some other Company its
entire land grant except that portion to
which it is entitled by reason of a co i- j
struction of a part of tho road.
Another condition which should be
imposed is that the Company should
not be permitted to charge for its lands
more than the maximum of two dollars
and fifty cents per acre, except for coal
lands. Many reasons might bo urged
in favor of this limitation, but I shall
refer mainly to those which show that
the best interests of the country will bo
advanced thereby.
Should the price of railroad lands bo
fixed at tho maximum charged by tho
Government, the sales of land will be
largely augmented. Tho policy here
tofore pursued has retarded settlement,
not only on railroad, but on Govern
ment land contiguous thereto. Within
tho land grant of this Company between
Puget Sound and Lake Superior, there
is an immense area of unsurpassed agri
cultural and grazing land, a largo por
tion of which is in this Territory.
Many years must elapse before these
lands will bo surveyed by tho Govern
ment. At present the settler is in a
great measure precluded from occupy
ing any of theso unsurveyed lands, lie
is nnwilling to mako improvements
which may when the lines of survey are
extended be found to be on the lands of
tho Company, and instead of securing,
as ho desires and intends to do, a home
stead or pre-emption claim, ho may be
compelled to pay the Company double
or even fourfold tho price of Govern
ment lands, or lose his claim and bin
inqTOvenienlH. It would be obviously
a wise policy for the Company to pro
mote immigration to the lands adjacent
to the line of tho road. Ihe Govern
ment is desirous that all unoccupied
lands should bo settled upon and im
proved, and tho people are anxious to
develop ono of tho finest regions for tho
production of all the cereals which are
on tho continent. All these desirable
results can be promoted by fixing the
price of government and railroad lands
at the same rate per acre. From these
considerations alone, if no others exist,
1 feel confident that tho best interests
of tho Company, of tho Government
and of the pooplo will be subserved by
establishing equality of price for Gov
ernment and railroad lands. The pres
ent is tho opportune time to impose this
condition on tho Company. Tho lands
are now free from encumbrances. It
could not havo been done while tho
lands were encumbered by a mortgage,
neither can it be dono in the future
should they bo again so encumbered.

Vi'aikiiHlV UcsjgiKstion.
The Lafayette Courier (Democratic
sheet) of last week goes after Chadwick
and Watkinds in the following style:
Thoro seems to bo great demand to
know just what has become of the letter
of W. II. Watkinds resigning the oftico
of Superintendent of the Penitentiary.
It is claimed that Ihe letter contains
charcre3 of corruption against Secretary
Chadwick. Tho latter claims that the
etter has never been on file, and that
knows nothing of its contents. Tho
ircumstances tend to show that the
ocument has been destroyed by Chad-
- i
wick, or somo ot ins employes, on ac
count of tho charges which it makes
against tho Secretary. It is not very
mportant to know where the original
document is, as a "well preserved" copy
f it remains for Sunday reading. 1 rem
the best information we can get, we be-
iove it charges Mr. Chadwick with be
ing a "corrupt bad man;" in that be lias
cccived presents for performing oiheial
services, lor which tho fct:uo paiu hini.
It also charges hira with drawing a war
rant upon tho treasurer upon tho Peni
tentiary Iuna, winch had not been
allowed or audited by tho superintend
ent, R'l bv lav required: and of specu-
ting in public funds.
Wo do do not know n holer the charg
es are true or false. I tie law presumes
hat he is innocent until ho is proved
guilty. Wo think Mr. Chadwick should
"coma out of ins hole and denv these
charges which havo been made in Re
publican papers, as well as in Mr. Wat-
iinds letter of resignation, h hen nr
officer is gravely charged with malfeas
ance in office, he owes it to his party to
clear up tho accusation or resign. It
von t do for him to throw himself back
upon his supposed dignity and stand
mute. If lie is innocent, let him sppci-
ically deny each cf the charges. The
Democratic party aas a rignt to a full
and specific account from tho person
whom they have twice honored by elec
tion, and Mr. Chadwick will find that
ie cannot put down tho accusation by
stoic silence. Mr. AVatkmds says in a
mblic card that he stands ready to
rove all that ho has charged Mr. Chad
wick with in any court of justice wher-
ver his charges may be brought in
question. It 13 time that Mr.Chaawick
was coming :to- the iront. it w in not
mrt tho Democratic party to have this
matter investigated, as neither JUr.Wat-
u'nds nor Mr. Chadwick is that party.
The party has a right to Know the facts,
and if anybody has Peon gmnyoi irauu
or corruption let him bo thrown over
board.
Col. Robert G. Ingersoll recently
challenged any professor of religion' to
prove that cither Thomas Tame or A ol
tairo recanted his convictions on his
death-bed, or died exhibiting remorse
on account of his leachi igs. The New
York Observer accepted tho challenge,
and oflered to prove it in regard to ono j
or both. Col. Ingersoll, having recent-
y returned to Peoria, Illinois, and
heard of tho acceptance, says ho will
immediately deposit $1,000 in gold in a
bank, subject to the order of Dr. Prime,
when endorsed by the tribunal, which
shall consist of three mon ono to bo
chosen by Mr. Ingersoll,? one by Dr.
Prime and a third by agreement of the
wo. Col. Ingersoll adds:
"From tho date of accepting this
ofier you may have tho ninoty days to
collect and present your testimony.
giving mo notico of time and place of
taking depositions. I shall have a like
time to take evidence upon my siae.
giving you like notice, and you shall
then havo thirty days to tako further
testimony in reply to what 1 may oiler.
Tho case shall then bo argued before
tho persons chosen; and their decision
shall be final as to us. If Paine and
Voltaire died filled with childish and
silly fear, I want to know it, and I want
the world to know it. Un the other
hand, if the belie-er3 in superstition
have nlade and circulated theso cruel
slanders concerning the mighty dead, I
want tho world to know that."
The Augusta (Me.) correspondent of
a Massachusetts journal writes:
If you, Mr. Editor, or others, think

Atchison, Ks., Oct. G. At 12 o'clock
to-night the western abutment to the
great iron bridge that spans the Mis

A gradual sliding of the work has been
noticed for the pa?t 18 hours, and a
force of men have been at work tearing
off the wall all day, so that tho long
draw span might be cleared and escape
the danger which threatened when the
wreck should come. They succeeded
in swinging the draw clear at 10 o'clock.
At 12 o'clock the huge mass of heavy

San Diego, Oct. 8. The Union has
the following dispatch dated Mesilla,
N. M. Oct. 0th: An armed mob of 400
Mexicans, 100 from tho Mexican side of
the river, have possession of tho county
of El Taso, Texas, fifty miles below this
place. The mob threaten to massacre
all Americans. They have arrested and
imrisoned county officers. Several
prominent citizens havo lied from tho
county. A small detachment of the 9th
U. S. cavalry started for the scene of
trouble to-day to protect the U. S. cus
tom house and government property.
Mexicans claim that El Paso county
belongs to Mexico.
Tho Chicago Times' New Orleans spe
cial says: Exciting news from Mexico
is attracting universal attention hero.
Further developments are most eagerly
looked for. All sorts of views are put
forth regarding tho probabilitfes of war
and its dimensions. Everybody knows
that a strugglo with a power even so
puny as Mexico would cost much in
blood and treasure. Still, among moro
sober citizens there is a feeling that our
government cannot all'ord to tolerate
Mexican insolence nor to permit the
border to remain forever tho scene of
turmoil. ' Oar leading military men say
the present stato of affairs on the bor
der cannot be endured much longer,
und since Mexico cannot preserve peace
on her sido of tho line, it will bo neces
sary for our troops to occupy her terri
tory, which will result in war. They
think that if tho crash must come at all,
now is the time to bring it on. Louisi
ana and Texas troops would probably
havo to bear tho bruut of tho struggle,
especially in caso of any summer cam
paign in the malarious district; so none
but men acclimated to southern disease
could bo used. It is thought a declar
ation of war would excite the wildest
outhusiasm in this city. Not only would
the vast army of unemployed rise to
arms, but there aro largo numbers o
adventurous spirits here in prosperous
circumstances,-for whom excitement of
war has resistless charm3. Tho senti
ment of this community is almost unan
imous for war. New Orleans, of all
places, would bo gainer. She would bo
tho base of operations while tho cam
paign lasted, and when peaco camo, the
rich territory conquered would be trib
utary to her commerce.

New Yokk, Oct. 9. Tho World has
a long article this morning going to

of the wholesale trade of New York,
business during September has been
more satisfactory than for five years
past. There is groat encouragement
among merchants and unusual prepara
tions mado for controlling business
from regions which had heretofore only
limited relations with New York. Com
petition is keen and profits consequent
ly small. The only real exception to
the rnlo appears to be in hardware and
straw goods. A striking ,act is the de
mand for luxuries. 'Sales of jewelry
and diamonds lately exceed the most
sanguine expectations of merchants.
There is a total absence of speculation,
and the tendency seems to be to supply
legitimate wants.

Finally I learned of the Centaur Liniment"
The first three bottles enabled me to walk
without my crutches. I am mending rapidly
I think your Liniment simply a marvel."
This Liniment cures Burns and Scalds with

stings. Cures Chillblains and Frosted-feet
and is very efficacious for Ear-ache, Tooth
ache, Itch and cutaneous eruptions.
The Centaur Liniment, Yellow Wrap

and muscles of horses, mules and animal.

Rev. Geo. W. Ferris, Manorkill, Schoharie

"My horse was' lame for a year with a fet
lock wrench. All remedies utterly failed to
cure, and I considered him worthless, until I
commenced to use Centaur Liniment, which
rapidly cured him. I heartily recommend it." G
it makes very little difference whether the
case be "wrench, " sprain, spavin or lamen-ss
of any kind, tht effects are the same. The
great power of tho Liniment is,bowever,shown
in Poll-evil, Big-head, sweeny. Spavin, Ring

CANCER CAN' IiE CURED.
Cancer has from time immemorial been a
great scourge to the human race, and is now
becom ing t he greater. For many years it has
been held by the medical profession, and gen
erally ielieved by the ieople, that Cancer is
incurable ; that once its roots take hold upe11
a victim, there is no chance for a sufferer to
escape a lingering and terrible death ; a death
surrounded by all that is disgusting and hor
rible, not only to the sutTerer, but to his
friends. Happily this fell dest rover need no
longer be feared. Dr. H. T. Hond, of Phila
delphia, a well known physician, of large ex
perience, has for four years devoted himself
to the special study and treatment of Cancer,
and the result of his experience is his dis
covery fwr the radical cure of Cancer, without
the use of either knife, caustic or plasters,
and without pain.
The majorit y of persons are greatly deceived
in regard to the first symptoms and appear
ance of this most dreaded disease, considering
it painful from the commencement. This Jf
a sad mistake, carryine thousands to an un
timely grave. In most cases there is little or
no pain until the disease is far advanced.
The only symptoms for many months, f1.
even for years, are occasicnally a stinpine.
darting, stabbing, shootintr, smarting, ifcn
ing, burning, crawling or creeping sensation,
and some case? not any or these. If
malady is growing worse instead
better, it is conclusi'vo evidence it is i
malignant character, and demands imnjc
diate attention. If you have a branny, scaij.
warty appearance, with an occasional l)rca"
ing out of these upon the face, lip or nose'.5!T
iny other portion of the skin, attenaea "
.i r, .f tlw, .rmtitnms o n KensatlOU
a fly being on it, or a hair tickling it, is cer
tain evidence it is Cancer, and there snoum
be no delav in using Dr. Bond's treatment.
Life is too valuable to be tampered with.
Dr. Rond's treatment consists of an An "
dote" that is applied locally : this at once ar.
rests the growt h of tbe Cancer, and by chemi.
cal action neutralizes its malignity, render-.
ing it harmless and changing it to a simple
sore which nature, assisted by constitutions
remedies, soon heals (when the skin is un-.
broken, and the Cancer is a hard tumor, tne
Antidote does not make an open sore, but re:
movs it bv absorption). In connection wit"
the Antidote is used the Specific, taken in
ternallv. This tones up the general bealtn,
strengthens the patient, purifies the blood
and eliminates tho poison from the system
Dr. Bond's Antidote contains neither caustio
nor poison, and can be applied to the i"?
delicate tissues of the bouy without injury
and therefore is the only remedy that can pa
used in internal Cancer, such as cancer o''"
stomach, cancer of the womb, eto. Dr. Bond
remedies, with full directions for si ccessra
treatment will be sent to any part of
world.
