Watkinds went frantic over some
rumorand sent all hands, ineluimy
one tonrict, oa a fool'i errand" to bunt
for Shnlta under some bridge on Pod
ding river. We denounce ihe act of
getting one convict to hunt up another
its unworthy ft sane man, but if the
thing ii to be repeated we insist that
Watkinds change clothes with the con
Tict, to prevent. attention to his prison
costume. Though it would be folly ai
disagreeable, perhaps, to be mistaken
for William. --

Eo. Statssrum : So you have gone
and told them where to look for me,
but, then, who cares. I don't intend
to vamose the ranch until I eat Dp two
acres more of strawberries and gnaw
through that shackle that's trying to
gnaw through my leg. I'd have
thought more of Bill if be hadn't
loaded me down so much heavier than
ho did the rest ; but 1 understand what
the object of that w te, be wanted me
to behave good, and give then a chance
to pardon me out, but you see I had a
reputation to suBlain, and a pretty
thing the boys in my line wonld have
had on me if tbey could have proved
that I went to State Prison and was
pardoned out as genuine Jobr.ny Good
boy. No eir-ee, that's not my style.
I expect to be a cracksman without
blemish of character, and it a man
who has broken into every place he
wanted to can't break out of a wooden
paling, or a one-horse Penitentiary,
such as Watkinds runs, he had better
give up bis calling and try to make an
honest living.
HT IDBA OF BUSINESS.
T broke ont as I did just to keep up
tny professional reputation, and to
prove to my pals that the strong ties
that bound me and Watkinds together
as Democrats and personal friends
and we were warm ones couldn't ia
terfere with- business relations of long
standing. Now, there were particular
reasons why I could get along well
with him, for be bas a natural respect
for a man of my talents, and only that
he bas chosen the more rascally but
less honorable trade of politics, be
might have done well in our line. Yon
see that we dare and share alike, and
what meanness a man does, as a cracks
man, is all for himself, but a cove who
does the dirty work. for politicians
takes desperate chances of not getting
bis share, and be bas to be a worse
knave than any of us. I've been im
ported and exported often enough
about election times to know bow they
manage, and I must say that many of
us in the Penitentiary have been more
honest than some of those coves who
deserve to be there for the illegal things
they have done, and tbey are put into
office because they did 'em. That's
what puzzles some ot us. The law is
only for rascals outside of politics it
seems.
BHCLTZ DiriKDS HIS FRIEND.
To come down to the right of the
matter and do bim justice, the Super
intendent bas qualities that I admire,
aid I ain't a bad judge of a man. He
don't put on no foolish frills about
honor, and be don't lose all respect for
a man that bas been catcbed in tricks,
if be wasn't catcbed too easy. Me
and bim never had no trouble, and I'd
as lief have bim tor a pal to-morrow,
if be would quit his foolishness and go
into regular business, as any man 1
know, and I take occasion now to
make bim the proposal. lie hasn't
cot quite enough sense, and that story
of his being scared by a mare mule is
hefty, bnt tben I've got sense enough
for two, and we'd do well enough if
he won't get scared till I do. You see
the valuable quality in him is bis wil
lingness to do as he's told, and I could
make money out of it.
A COMPARATIVE CSTIMATI.
When Maj. Berry was in charge be
never had much to say, but kinder
walked around and looked dangerous.
That mare mule never scared him.
He was a man we prisoners never could
make a companion of, and they were
all afraid of bim, because be looked as
if he knew a great deal, and that al
ways scares us folks. The difference
between 'em is all in Bill's favor, he
talks all the time, whether he bas any
thing to say or not. The prisoners
all feel glad to have him aronnd, be
cause they learn something. Tbey
peak friendly of him to each other,
and call bim " Bill Watkinds," easy
like, and they tell over all the clever
election dodges he's doie, and most of
'em allow they are sharper than any
of their own doings. Tbey are rather
proud of him in fact, and all think he'd
beat me in my line, but, you. see, I
knows better. Now, Maj. Berry was a
powerful sight different ; be hadn't
much appreciation for talent, and the
men always spoke af him cool and civ
il like, as " The Major." He didn't
make no warm friends among the reg
ular boarders. You're mistaken about
Watkinds not being the man for the
place. Every single man there, includ
ing rae and Matt Bledsoe, will tell you
different. Shcltz.
P. S. I add a line to repeat that I
don't forgive Bill for bis bragging so
eternally over the rest of us about bis
Democracy. We was, all of ns. Dem
ocrats, and he knowed it, but be bad
the whip naod of us and kept boasting
about himself. Now, the fact is, that
Democracy was what took us all there;
ours put us on the inside, and bis'n
got bim a show on the outside, but as
long as we was all there togethe, birds
of a feather, be bad no right to brag
to al fired much. Shultz.
The Caterpillar Matter.
Salem, Orsoor, June 12, 1871.
Editob Statrsmar: Will you pub
lisb this in your useful paper for tbe
information of your many readers?
Prevention of disease is said to be better
than to pay doctor's bills and run the
risk of losing tbe patient. The orchard
ist can prevent tbe production of tbe
woxm caterpillar by closely examining
tbe limbs of his fruit trees in any win
ter month. This worm does not repro
duce itself, but at tbe proper age throws
off ita worm form and becomea a beau
tiful butterfly with black stripes on the
wings. This butterfly during tbe sum
mer and fall months makes a ring
aronnd a limb of the fruit tree about
the size of a man's finger, and on tbe
inside of this ring, of a gummy sub
stance, she makes a great many little
cells in which she lays ber eggs, and
they are dormant during the winter
months. In the mean time tbe orchard
ist may at pleasure take a suitable lad
aer ana examine bis trees and cut
loose all these rings and burn them

Froh Ocnoco Valley. Mr. T. Lister,
who was for seventeen years a citizen of
Lane county, now a resident in the Ochoco
Valley, called upon us last Monday. He
reports the lire stock in that country as
looking well, and notwithstanding the
backward spring the grass is remarkably
fine. His farm is located on McKay's
Creek, a branch of the Crooked river, and
has for a neighbor the Rev. Mr. Willson,
formerly pastor of one of our city churches.
Mr. L. crossed tbe mountains by the Leba
non road and found about twelve miles
of snow, which is fast disappearing. He
met several large droves of stock on their
way to Eastern Oregon. Tbe mail facili
ties for tbat portion of Oregon are bad, or
rather tbey have no facilities at all ; the
nearest office being at tbe Dalles, 100 miles
distant, and for their mail matter tbe people
of Tygh Creek valley. Oak Grove, Warm
Spring Reservation, Big and Little Creek,
Ochoco, etc., have to rely upon the passing
traveler. A mail contract was advertised
and let last spring for that section of the
country, but the Government decided to
abandon tbe route, not deeming tbe country
thickly enough settled to have a regular
mail. The tide of emigration is setting in
so strongly this spring tbat it is absolutely
necessary that steps be Ukcu at once to
regulate this matter
Tehferance Cacbe. During the pro
ceedings yesterday the following resolution
was adopted by the Grand Lodge, I. 0. of
G. T.
Raolrtd : That while we regard the
Christian Church and Ministry as especially
called upon to lead in the great temperance
reform, wo cordially welcome and recognize
as eo-laborers all of whatever organisation
or name who are working to secure Total
Abstinence from all tbat intoxicates and
the legal suppression of the liquor traffic,
and we invite tbeir hearty co-operation.
The Tellceiob. We have seen the
working of this astronomical instrbment
which professor L. Cary bas with him to as
sist his lectures on that science, and also
has for sale. By ingenious mechanical ar
rangement this apparatus represents the
exact revolution of tbe earth and moon, tbe
peculiar orbits of each, and the length of
days and nights and the space of the earth in
lightandshadowatanyday in the year. The
value of this for tbe purpose ot illustration
is sustained by testimonials from all the
faculty of the Willamette University
well as by the certificates of President
Campbell, of Monmouth, and of tbe pro
fessors of Philomath and the Corvallis Col
lege. Professor Cary intends to deliver
leetures on astronomy to be illustrated by
the action of this apparatus aad to canvass
for the sale of the same to the different in
stitutions of Oregon. He will probably
lecture in this eity next week. Tbe eard of
tbe faculty of the University is published
elsewhere.
Festival. The lad ics of tbe Orphan's
Homo Society, give a festival Ibis even
ing in the Legislative Hall. . It is a
question if we have in our city an institu
tion tbat is more deserving of the patronage
of our cititens than this one. There are at
present four children at the Orphan's Home
aad four more are offered, and the festival
for this evening is for the purpose of rais
ing a portion of the amount necessary for
their maintenance. It is hoped that there
will bo a good turn out. An admission fee
of twonty-fivo cents will be taken at tbe
door.

of the Salem Muscat TJnlon return 'their
sincere thank fur yoar kind appreciation of
their concert ef June 9th, as manifested by
your request, to have it repeated. The
somber 'f tbe Society have been te con
siderable trouble and expense to keep up
tbe'organitation, which is designed as much
for public good as for private instruction.
If the public by attending our eon certs will
help bear the expenses of the Society we
shall always be ready in tbe future as we

S. M. Cooke, Secretary.
From Above. Mr. A. J. Hamilton, of
Polk county, has just returned from an ex
tended trip through Lane county, visiting
on his route Clovcrdalo, Pleasant Hill, and
Il&illey A Owen's ranch of 7,A0O acres on
Coyote Creek. Tho farms along bis route
are looking well, and crops are farther
King than our eold springs would seem to
jttatify. lie saw no caterpillars beyond
Albany, consequently a fine and abundant
fruit yield may be expected from tbat sec
tion. Met on his war a large number of
live stock on foot, destined for East of the
Mountains. We are always glad to publish
suuli cheering prospects from any portion of
Ihe "Empire" State of the Pacific coast.
Elkctio. At the annual meeting of
Capital Engine Company, No. 1, held last
evening, the following officers were elected
for tbe ensuing year : T. M. Scott, Fore
man; A. N. Gilbert, 1st Assistant Foreman;
J. M. Patterson, 2d Assistant Foreman ; J.
J. Murphy, President; E. F. Thompson,
Recording Secretary ; E. A. Thatcher, Fi
nancial Secretary ; B.F.Drake, Treasurer.
J. J. Murphy, B. Strang and S. Buss, Del
egates to Salem Fire Department.
At Tnz River. Tho high-headed Fan
nie Patton, Captain Jerome, came down
yesterday morning flying, small freight
trip, fair passenger list; left for Oregon
City at 9 oYlm-k, taking on board a small
lot of wool here for tbe Oregon City Mills.
Tbe Fannie will be up to-day at 3 o'clock,
for Albany and all along the coast.
Water Works. Tho frame for the rcf
crvoir buiMing is nearly ready to bo put
together. Workmen were engaged yestor
day rigging derricks, to hoist tho heavy
timbers to their places, and it is expected
that everything will be in readinc.?, for
raising towards the latter part of the week.
alem Fioi'Riso Mills. This mill is
still running, as small lots of wheat are
continually coming in. The prospects are
that they will have enough wheat to keep
them going during the present week, when
they will shut down for repairs, as stated
several davs ago.
Jefferson City, ou the Fantiam, is suffer
ing for tho want of a shoemaker. A good
sober industrious " member of soles " can
peg away there from morning to night, and
make a comfortable if not luxurious living.
To Harrisbkro. The track was finisli
ed to Ilarrisburg, night before last, and it
is expected that regular passenger and
freight trains will be put on next week, to
that point. .
Road Work. Commissioner F. G.
Schwatka, yesterday commenced work on
tho Silverton road, also on the Stanton road
just outsido the of tho city limits. Mr. S.
is making a thorough and efficient officer.
The Commercial Hotel, under the man
agement of Mr. Wesley Graves, is daily
growing in popularity. Besides his largo
transient custom he has, we are informed,
upward of fifty regular boarders.
Scio. From Mr. A. T. Powell, of Scio,
we leurn tbat tbat section of the country is
prosperous, and that tho Wkkklt States
man is growing daily in popularity.
T HURSDAY.
An I'rgcnt Sccesslly.
It has been from a faithful and un
prejudiced appreciation of tbe charac
ter of the present incompetent and
every way unworthy man who fills, or
pretends to fill, tbe respousible position
of Superintendent of the State Peni
tentiary, that we have lately under
taken in various legitimate ways to
expose him to the public. We have
really assnmed, in these articles, to
establish tbat his proper place is on
the inside of the Penitentiary instead
of being its Superintendent. Recent
events, which have to be decided by
tbe Courts, sustain this opinion, and
by his own act W. II. Watkinds has
enrolled bis name on tbe criminal cal
endar. The credit of the State is involved
in the character of the men who fill
responsible positiona under it, and
whatever party may be in power owes
it to the Suit , as well as itself, to pub
lic integrity as well as to mere expes
'iency, tbat ruffianism aid crime shall
uot i- promoted to any office of honor
or trust.
A few plain facts may rot be amiss.
This man Watkinds baa a multitude of
enemies in his own party, and could
not possibly be elected to any office
within tbe gift of the people, and tbe
most appreciative readers of our com
ments upon bim have been Democrats.
His late conduct of tbe Penitentiary
shows an entire want . of good sense,
governing power and discretion, and
the Democratic party can furnish many
men entirely qualified for tbe position
by moral worth as well as practical ex
perience. We bad no doubt tbat he would dis
grace himself and the State when be
was appointed, but party necessity-
pblinded the appointing power, and has
led to tbe present situation, and no
one need be told what is tbe urgent
necessity to which we allude in this
article.

Ed. Statesman : I don't know when
I ever felt madder than I did yester
day when I learned from a friend, who
was down in town, -that yon and Wat
kinds bad bad a row, and tbat nobody
was seriously damaged.
I knowed when I read your articles
about bim, charging him with being
afeard of a mare mule, that Bill wonld
rear and faunch to a lively tune, and
thought tbat If he bad tbe spunk of a
louse he would resent it, honorably,
by cowhiding you, of xourse ; but I
bad no idea he would crawl up behind
as little a man as yau are to do it. Al)
things considered, it was one of the
ejni o n
f,EM, OREGON,
dial rt'ntingest bloody rows that eTer
I h 'ill of. Now, in tbe first place,
be t stood up face to you and in

howj bein' a editor, and made for
that Vjise, yon orter stood and took
it, but instead, I he am that yon drawed
a pocket knife on him, cut his whip is
too, and was carving bim up in slices
when he palled out a six-shooter and
blazed away four times and didn't bit
yon good nary once.
COPI OF GOOD MORALS.
Let me tell yon what's what. In the
fust place he should a waited 'till you
growed to near hia site, so as to give
yon a fair show, Tben he sbonld a
stood up fair and fit, and when yoa
cut his whip in two, which warreglar,
be should have given you a polite In
vite to stand still 'till some of bis cubs
got another. Tbe shooting was so wild
that it made old clothes of a lot of new
store goods, and bis crawling op and
poking bis gun through a crack and
shooting you in tbe back and not mak
ing a center shot was the allfiredest,
dogondest, most worthless thing I ever
beered of. I withdrsw my offer of
partnership from this roinit. for If be

Just one word more. I intend to
keep clear of tbat Penitentiary , if only
to avoid having bim for company. It's
bad enrmgh to have him on the outside,
and to have bis company inside as
looks lik-lv well, I won't stand it.
That's all I have to say of that. I'm

ITATI,
ALONG TUE COAST.
Approaching the Columbia from tbe
ocean the traveler fails northward
along a mountain range that gives no
indications of the valleys which Isy in
land. The shores and the mountains
beyond are covered with dense fir for
ests and though seemingly inhospitable
and a mere mountain wilderness there
is a great extent of valuable country
to be developed along tbe bays and in
lets which line tbe coast, and as tbe
mountains themselves are prospected
it becomes evident that a large amount
of valuable land invites cultivation in
the coast range and that in time a great
portion of what now is considered
comparatively worthless land will be
settled and cultivated and become
among tbe most valuable lands and
beautiful homes upon tbe Pacific coast.
Tbe value of tbe coast country is be
coming every day more appreciated as
the lumber trade increases and coal
and mibersl deposits are discovered
upon the hays and rivrs. Thriving
settlements are developing the lumber
and coal interests of Coos Bay and Co
quille river, Port Orford. Ellenburg,
Hcottsburg, Siletz Bay, and Tillamook
Bay, all invite tbe attention of 1. bor
and capital to similar pursuits.
THE COLTMBIA BIVgB.
Entering tbe Columbia river tbe voy
ager gathers no idea of tbe agricul
tural character of our State as be sails
up the spacious harbor, past Astoria,
perched mainly on the mountain side,
and ascends the grand sweep of waters
winding constantly through densely
woodel shores, no mark of settlement
being visable, save the noisy clatter v f
tbe saw-mills that occasionally vary
tbe scene, aad the silent hamlets estab
lished by the increasing fisheries. Ex
cept for these scattered indications of
man's presence, and the occasional
garden spot and orchard planted bes
side some wood yard, the region seems
as dreary and silent a wilderness as in
tbe olden times, save tbat the river
bears upon its bosom to-day tbe bu.y
steamer, tbe more somber steamship
from off the ocean and the fleet of sail
ing vessels enticed thither by the grow
injr commerce of the New Northwest.
These replace tbe fleet of light canoes
tbat user! aforetime to sail upon expe
ditions of war or peace, and the white
man's improvements are instead of the
Indian villages to which distance lent
enchantment to the olden time. Tbe
traces of Indian life have almost disap
peared, but tbe whole region is scarce
less a wilderness to-day than when the
Iudian called it all his own. Such is
tbe Columbia, broken at Kalama by tbe
glaring newness of tbe work com-,
meoced by tbe North Pacific Railroad
Co., and tbe little towns that lay claim
to tnaralime importance above it.
The. Columbia bottoms and Sanvie's
Island give room for successful agricul
ture about tbe mouto ef the Willam
ette river, but tbe mountain shores of
the Cascade range is close in beyond
them and wall in the river with precip
itous shores which in tbeir rugged maj
esty present, to the eyes of the tourist,
tbe grandest scenery to be found upon
our continent.
THE VALLEY OF WESTERN OREGON.
The Coast Range of mountains seo
tinel the waters of the Pacific Oceen
from Puget Sound to Lower California,
and parallel with them, and not dis
tant, rises the most rugged range upon
tbe continent, known to the north
ward as tbe Cascades and to tbe south
as the Sierra Nevadas, and between
these two ranges lie tbe beautiful val
leys which constitute the greater bulk
of the agricultural resources of tie
Pacific Coast. Iu California so situa
ted are tbe valleys of the Sacramento
and San Joaquin and tbe other valleys
of that State, and sroing northward me
find Rogue River Valley in Southern
Oregon, the valley of tbe Umpqua still
further north, and greatest ot all, and
incomparably tbe most extensive and
tbe most valuable in our Slate, the
valley of tbe Willamette, wblch river
empties into tbe Columbia abont one
hundred miles from its mouth and the
valley of which occupies the intervale
between tbe Cascades and Coast range,
a region at least forty miles wide by
one hundred and twenty-five long, with
a variety of fertile soil, alternate bill
and prairie, descriptions ot which have
given to tbe world tbe opinion it bas
received of Oregon, for hitherto tbe
Willamette Valley baa been Oregon.
IA8TIBR ORKOOI.
The greater bulk of onr State lies
east of tbe Cascade range and the usual
approach to it is by tbe Columbia
river. Here, stretching north and
south more than three hundred miles
and covering a country larger in extent
than thd State of New York is a region
as vaiied as it is extensive, whose val
leys cluster around tbe spurs of tbe
Blue mountains, whose seemingly des
ert plains afford endless pasturage, and
whose mountains are rich with mines
of gold and silver. To tbe southward
of this eastern stretch of comparatively
independent Territory is the wide and
valuable lake country now rapidly be
coming an object of interest to settlers.
This wide region has an important

Affray. Yesterday afternoon there oc
curred on Commercial street an affray in
which the editor of this paper was cowhided
nml shot, but fortunately the cowhide only
bit bis hat and tbe bullet glanced with
out afflicting a dangerous wound. The
would-be murder and assassin was com
forted and furnished with $1,000 bail to ap
pear before J. J. Murphy, J. P., this morn
ing for examination. Tho cowhiding was
a failure and wo were enjoying a nice time
on the defensive, driving the assailant bp
foro a pocket knife, when tho other man,
who is tho fellow Shulti brags so on,
pulle I out a revolver, firing four times
wi'liin ten paces and only making one hit.
That is tin- poorest shooting on record, and
it is the purest sham in the world for such
a man to go about hunting for Sbultx. If
he was to find Shultz he would run faster
than he ever did from a mare mule. As
this affair is to come before tbe Courts we
do not choose to give any fuller statement
save to say that the attack was made un
expectedly, entirely so, and tho cowardly
red headed scoundrel struck from behind,
and struck a man that goes unarmed.

A CARD,
June 15, 1871.
The ladies of tbe Orphan's Aid Society,
desire to tender their thanks to the many
friends who so kindly manifested by their
presence at the Hall last night, their sym
pathy for the four dependent, yet interest
ing little wards, now nnder their care, and
especially to tbe honorable members of the
Grand Lodge of I. O. G. T., who by tbeir
kind presence and assistance, showed that
in tbeir self-sacrificing labors "to save tbe
fallen acd prevent others from falling"
into drunkenness and ruin, tbey do not for-,
get the fatherless and tbe orphan, but are
ready aud willing for every good work.
May tbey have success in tbeir laudable
mission and the determination "to move
immediatc!y on Ihe enemies works."
Mrs. t. C. Adams,
Secretary.
Selk PsrsNSR In allusion to the
recent affray, tbe Unitein denounces it
in a very sensible manner, alludes to
the fact tbat tbe editor of tbis paper is
a man of " very Blight frame and very
nervous temperament," which is un
fortunately for ns, entirely correct. It
adds that " Clarke is supposed to be a
non-combatant," which we beg to es
pecially deny. Having been once tak
en entirely unawares, many years ago,
and made the victim of ruffianism, we
learned a lesson of the necessity of
self-defense that will last a lifetime.
We have proven the advantage of it
several timet since, and ' slight" and
nervons " as we are, we managed to
drive a cowhide off a twelve foot side- '
walk tbe other day, with a common
pocket knife. Never expecting to at-
tack any one, we shall never hesitate '
upon self-defense in case of need.
An Atrocious Affair at Salem. ;
From a person wbo left Salem on
the evening train yesterday we obtain
an account of a shooting affair at that
place. The account as we nave it
states tbat W. H. Watkinds, Superin
tendent of tbe Penitentiary, having
taken umbrage at something printed in
tbe Statesman regarding tbe escape of
Sbults, attacked 8 "A. Clarke, editor
of tbat paper, with a eowbfde, having
at tbe same time a pistol with
which to intimidate Clarke, or, In case
of resistance on bis part, to shoot him. '
When Watkinds began to nse the cows
hide Clarke drew a knife to defend him
self, when tbe former fired two or
three shots, one of which struck the
latter in fho side or back. Bow se
vere tbe wound was onr informant'
could not learn. Mr. Clarke was placed
in carriage and taken home.
If anything could exceed tbis atroci
ty we cannot imagine trhat it is. By
tbis act Watkinds has proven himself
k bally, a lawbreaker, a criminal, fitter;
by far for a cell io tbe Penitentiary .
than for a Superintend over that in-,
stitution. There is a special a tat ale in
tbe Criminal Code which pfescribea a
a heavy punishment for even attempts'
iog to use a cowhide upon another,
while having a pistol or other deadly
weapon for tbe purpose of intimida
tion. . "
We have not heard whether Wat
