issued on February 5, IH-IH, nt Ore

edited by W. 0. T'Vault. who was
aiso tiio postuiiisler general and dis
trict attorney of the territory. The
liitjar was owned by the 'Oregon
I'rintiiiK Association, a eiiriiuriitlon.
and Mr. T'Vault received a salary
of iKJ dull urn a year for doing the
editorial work. The paper was ft

in which H says: "This wonderful

of transmitting busiiiens and mud a I

Willi it line of telegraidiio conduct
ors extending from iwtoii to New

would no longer send their letters

Tlie following mlvertisementa will
l..w (lie meagre postal facilities of
that date: "Ilio postmaster gen
eral has contracted with II. Burns
to curry the mail from Oreeon Citv
to UYetuii, in Missouri, for one trip
oiiiy. Li ners niaiieti at any of the
unices, pnst panl, w ill l hirward
toany pin t ol the I nited States. As
the mail sent east bv Mr. Hums
will reach We-ton early in the sea
sun, it Huiild Ih advisable for those
wmliing to correspond! with their
mentis in the Last, to avail them
selves of this opjstrt unity. Pontage

I ho postmaster eeneral asks for
willed bids on tlio route from Ore
gon City to Vancouver by water
once m two weeks, and also from
Oregon City to Hill's in Twalitv
county: them to J. A. llamhree's

lrew Smith's in Yamhill count v:
thence to X. Ford's in Polk county;

tutor Hugh liurns, Lsq., informs us
that himself and party will leave
early in March next f r the I'nited
States. I lnir route will he across
the Kocky Mountains by way of
South Puss."
The real estate agent was Inula-
ing towns in those days as now. K.
V. Pickett, of Oregon City, an
nounced that he "would oiler for
sale in a few day a number of lots
situated on the lower part of his
claim, lying on tho Willamette river
and just at the loot ol the I lack a-
mas rapius, where a lo nigo win no
built during the coming season."
The spring poet was also "in it," as
tho following lines on love will
show:

Tho following, published in tho
Spectator of March U',' 1Mb, is a
strikiiiK contrast to the method of
gathering and transmitting news
of the present day: "Mr. Waldo
informs us that ho received a letter
from his brother, dated August U
1815, which contained the intel
ligence that our beloved and ven-
eriible ex-iiresident of tho United

Httvles, died tit his residence, the
Ileriiiitiigo, in June last." Tho
news of his death was just nine
months in reaching Oregon. Tho
Spectator was neat typographically
and well edited. It was non-partisan,
and appeared twice a month.
the Oregon almanac "tor tho year
of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ, 18 I8," was also found among
tho files of tho paper. After not
ing coming eclipses and transits, it
gives a list of tho state and county
officers, (leorgo Abernothy was
governor and tho following wore
.tho officers of Clatsop county: Rep
resentative, John now nson; justice
of the peaco, James Taylor; assessor
John V. Champ; treasurer, R. W,

As mum as the wheat is cut and

no, but if out in the douirh state it

and pack tho wheat all together in

hands and knees, or else it will not

to lie stacked, it would pay tiVTmy
old canvas and cover each top of
stack, letting the canvas roach well
lown on each side of stack and be
properly secured so as not to blow
off.
Wheat, after packing, goes
through a sweat, and it usually re-
iiiires from four to six weeks. If
threshed out when undergoing this
sweat it will thresh tough, and be
lamp. If wheat has to lie threshed
early it is best to thresh from tho
shock, or as noon as stacked.
Harvest in season; secure it when
dry; pack it away in a barn; let it
go through tho sweat in tho straw,
and then thresh; clean it nicely, and
put it on tho market in lirst-elass
order, and the higncst market price

Insure your crop and barn; it
will only cost a few dollars to do it.

Bill Nye, America's greatest hu
morist, was once theeditorof a news
pa per, and ho knows how it is him
self. Ho writes os follows of the
"Newspaper Puff:"
The newspaper pull' is something
that make men feel bud if they
don't get it. The, groundwork of
an ordinary newspaper puff consists
of a moral character and a good
bank account. Writing newspaper
pull's is like mixing sherry cobblers
and mint juleps all through the
summer months for customers and
quenching your own thirst with
rainwater. Sometimes u man is
looking for a pull' and don't get it.
Then ho says that tho paper is go
ing down hill, and that no would
stop subscribing if ho did not have
to pay his bill first. Writing a
newspaper jmffis like taking a pho
tograph: if it does not represent the
child with wings, haloa and harps,
it shows that tho artist does not
understand his business. So it is
with the newspaper pull": if the
puffed doesn't stand out like a bold
and fearless exponent of truth and
morality, it shows that tho puller
doesn't understand human na
ture. It is more fun to see a man
rend a puff of himself than it
is to boo a man slip on an orange
pool. Tho narrow-minded man
roads it over soven or eight times
and then goes around to the differ
ent places where tho paper is taken
and steals what ho can. The kind
hearted family man goes homo and
reads it to his wife, and then pays
up his bills on tho paper.

At Tacoma, ono night lust week,
tin attempt was made to scuttle the
Chilian ship Ocorginia, loading
lumber at Tacoma mill for Valpa
raiso. On going into tho hold in
the morning tho mato discoverd two
inch auger holes bored in the ves
sel's bottom. Tho auger struck an
iron bolt after penetrating a dis
tance of seven inches. The villian
then attempted to uso a smaller
auger, but it was too short to pierce
tho thick timbers. Suspicion
points to tho Norwegian carpenter,
Christopher Anderson, who it is
said, had threatened to sink the
ship because Capt. Stanley refused
to advance him money for drink.

counted for by tho fact that it in

that somo of the necessaries of life

Hull (tcheine of 15,m),000 acres of
land in 'Mexico, with coolies to bo
imported from China by Vog Yin
Wau, a San Francisco Chinaman:
"Tho proposition is absurd in tho
face of it. In tho first place, the
Chinese government will not per
mit tho emigration of Chinamen to
and country with which it has no
treaty between China and tho re
public of Mexico. Tho British au
thorities at Hong-Kong, by sjiecial
arrangement with the Chinese gov
ernment, will not give clearance pa
pers to any vessel carrying Chi
nese subjects away, contrary to the
laws of tho country.
"T ho only way in which China
men can reach Mexico, or any other
country with which China has no
treaty, is for them to first ship to
some port in treaty country, as for
instance, San Francisco or Liver
pool, and being landed there, to af
terward ship to tho country for
which they are destined. Any col
iniz.ttion scheme in Mexico that
would entail tho shipping of tho
colonists by tho roundabout route,
via San Francisco, would cost too
much per head to mako tho thing
pay.
"Anyway, I don't believe that
any Chinaman harbors any such
colossal project as this reported
one. Fifteen million acres is a vast
tract of country and unless Wog
Yin Wau and his reputed partners
contemplate a new Mexican state

A London dispatch says: Advices
have reached Cairo that the famine
which bus for some time past pre
vailed in tho Soudan ia increasing
rapidly. Thousands of natives are .
wit bout food of any kind, and the re
ported number of deat hs from starv
ation is appalling. With reports
of this dreadful state of affairs come
horrible stories of cannibalism,
which is on the increase.
It was reported not long ago that
the dead wero being eaten by the
famished survivors, but present ad
vices represent matters as still
worse. It is now asserted that large
numbers of women and children
are deliberately put to death that
they may serve as food for their
frenzied companions. Relief haa
been extended to these unhappy
people as far as possible, but not
sufficiently to allay the terrible suf
fering in tho interior settlements
which are beyond reach.

It is perpetrated by means of ft
double fountain pen, ono end of -which
is filled with good substant ial

writes his agreement, contract, or "
whatever particular thing ho may
have chosen with ink that fades,
and has his victim sign with the
other end of tho pen that lasts. In
a few days he has a slip of paper
with nothing on it but a good signa

of a note that ho can easiest turn
into cash.
