A relic of the days of '43, has been removed for a modern building at Ore gon Gity.- The Grand Lodge, I.- 0. 0. F. ap pointed R.W. Grand Representatives, A. G. "Walling of No. 15; long term and H. G.

Capt. Eugene Millett of Austin, is the cattle king of Texas. He has some fifteen thousand head of stock cattle on his ranch in Baylor county, and many thousands on the trail. Col. Jos. S. Buckle, formerly of this State, died at Washington City this week. Col. Buckle was one of the most enterprising men Oregon ev er claimed, but he came here 20 years too early for success. He was univer sally esteemed, will be sadly mourned. The Semi-Weekly Telegram,- a neat and newsy sheet just started in Independence, Polk county, Oregon, has encouraging words about the crops in that vicinity. It says the farmers, as a general thing, seem in good heart and expect good crops. Fall sown wheat looks well all over the county, and the spring-sown, that has Come line. up, is looking unusually Tuesday next, May 30th, will he remembered as Decoration Day throughout the United States. Deco ration Day becomes the sabbath of the year. It is a legal holiday and all business is suspended, stores are closed and the whole population unite in memorial ceremonies around the hero headstones, of those who gave their blood to the Nation's life. rress dispatches the past few days may be of interest to politicians, but the general reader, seeking news, is of opinion that the speculations and intrigues to kill off Conkling when the butchers meet on the 14th, at Cincinnati, is tin indication that jobbery continues to such extent as ' to create a stench in the moral atmosphere.- It is evident to candid , minds that Conkling Is not in favor j with the administration party, but: Air. Blaine is. AVe do not believe that the Cameron's will cast their in iluence in behalf of Conkling, but that all that has been said on the subject of such disposal of the votes of Pennsylvania delegates, has been with a view to carry wrong impres sions respecting the movements of President Grant. The fight will be between Blaine and Conkling, and if Conkling is defeated Blaine will also be very apt to share a similar fate sooner or later.- New York is waking up to the importance of opening improved water-route communication with the great lakes, on peril of losing her com mercial supremacy if that be not done. The enlargement of the Erie canal from Buffalo to the Hudson, even if practicable, it is preceded by a leading journal, will not avail to save NTew York's trade with the great Northwest. In view of the early completion of the "Welland canal, it declares that, to compete with it, the Oswego canal, from Lake Ontario to Syracuse must . be .ldequate t0 the local tonage offer be enlarged so as to pass vessels of the j in'gj which will be nillch larger than greatest draft and length that can go usual this year; the brick trade alone through the Welland canal, and that , employs a fleet of scow schooners, corresponding enlargement of the Erie 1 The "square-toed" schooner has be canal must be made from Syracuse to come popular for inland water car ihe Hudson river at a point say twen- j riage.

The Blue-Water Vessels. From the San Francisco Bnlletin. Just before the harvest the Bay, which had few ships at anchor three uiuuuio.rou.iJ monens ago, Degius iu uu up -vim deep-water vessels. One by one they come in, discharge their cargoes and haul out into stream until the new crop of wheat comes down from theinterior Probably there will be more mer chant vessels afloat in this harbor a month hence than have been seen here since '49, when the crews rushed ashore, and left the ships to rot at their anchorage. There will be something above a million tons of wheat for export this year. This item alone would furnish freight for a thousand medium-sized ships. We observe that some of the estimates put the crop for export at 1,500,000 tons. If we include ores, wool, wine, and other articles, no doubt there will be 1,500 cargoes within the next six months for as many outward bound ships. Very few of these vessels which are to earn this freight money are owned in this part. Yet every year we make some important addition to the mpri'hnnf. flppf.. Thfi hpsfc American ii;n.

She is entitled to carry the broom, or what ever other emblems is expressive of supremacy. Her recent record is a surprisingly good one. She is not only the best sailer, but is a good carrier, turning out her cargo in good order, Capt. Simpson, a Maine man, with his lungs expanded by Califor nia atmosphere, got it into his head that as good a ship could be built at Coos bay as any where else. There was plenty of cedar and fir in that region, and, lumber was cheap. So he quietly drew his plans, went up to Coos bay, and almost before the public knew what was going on, had J one of thebest wooden merchantships in the world afloat. She is not only good in the estimation of her builder, but she has a long first-class rating. At sea she is staunch and easy under sail, and during a recent voyage flew along in a gale with nearly all set, at at the rate of about 300 miles a day. for several days in succession. Of course, under such a press of canvas, every man was on the watch. It was good sailing, such as experts can do when the man at the wheel has an i officer to watch him that ho makes no mistakes, and that no spars are 1 carried away. Now this is a long stride from the point when the question was raised as to whether any ship built out of timber grown on this coast would be worth having, to the point when the best merchant ship in the world is put afloat from this same timber. The Pacific Slope recently built at this port had also a high rating : but we have yet to hear from her in blue water. II or builder and owner was satisfied with her, and good judges who saw heron the stocks and ready for sea pronounced her as good a ship as ever sailed out of this port. jbesiues tnese large snips we nave a number of barkentines and brigs built here which are first class vessels. Probably the fastest sailing brig afloat is the Nautilus, a regular packet be tween this port and Tahiti. Her average time is about as good as the steamers make. The Nautilus was , built on th's coast and will probably be a sound vessel fifteen years hence. There are one or two large ships, we believe, building up the coast, which will probably be a afloat in a few months. e have, also, a fleet of! schooners, built; of fir and cedar, which are large carriers and good sea going vessels. According to present appearances, , the bay vessels now afloat will hardlv about as well, and is a large carrier. They are not handsome, indeed; their lines, if they have any, are such as will make the modern 3rachtman turn iip ' his nose ;very'" "time". " As . for yachts, we nave hardly yet anything which would venture far out of sight of land. The New York yachts sail i nrrmnrl T.nnr Tsljind. or trn dnwn to :, r,7. . . , . , the capes of Virginia, and occasional- ly one or more stretches across the ocean, bringing up at some European port. The San Francisco yachts have never ventured around the Farra- lones, we believe, although two or three of them are very well fitted for outside sailing. Letter From Shoalwater Bay. South Bend, W. T. ) May 23d, 1S75. J Editor Asteriax: Since my last note, I find it hard work to gather items of an in teresting character, yet such as we have we will give. The citizens of South Bend and vicinity, have turned their attention to matters of educa tional interest, and went to work with a will, and built a commodious school house, and had a school in operation, all within two weeks. House 20x30 with eighteen feet ceiling. The lum ber and the site was gratuitously furnished by John Wood & Co. , the citizens furnishing means and muscle ifor its completion. It wasa necessity, there bein? no school house in the district, and there are thirty children large enough to go to school. Business follows the old channels, no hurry and bustle, yet considerable is done. Since my last the schooner Concordia loaded with ' oysters at Bruceport for the Shoalwater Bay Oyster Co. The schooner H. L. Tiernan, Capt Mitchel, arrived here this morning, and the Enterprise, Capt. McAllep, this afternoon, to load with lumber for Simpson Bros., San Francisco. These vessels aver age about one trip a month, and carry from 175,000 to 210,000 feet. The mill here can keep tliree such schoon ers employed. Some enterprising parties on the Wallapa have entered into con tract with a party to cut a wagon road from the Wallapa to the Cheha lis near Claquato, paying $500 for the work. When this enterrjrise is com pleted, this place will be easy of ac cess from all parts east and north, and we hope to see a tide of emigration turn this way for a time, until some, at least, of our fertile valleys are pop ulated. There is room, and employ ment for many more persons than are here now, and the great drawback is, an e;isy and speedy communication with the outside world. More Jlsox. "Hooray for Blain." Some highly emotional Blaine man, en route to Cincinnati by the steamer yesterday evening, lying over at As toria, indulged in the following out burst of poetry on the subject of his enthusiasm. Though we remember to have read verses which, on the whole, were more elegant, the author has achieved one poetical exploit of which he may well be proud. He has conquered a difiicutly which has heretofore baffled the most ingenious political poetaster in the land. He has found a rhyme for Conkling. The poetry was written on a slate which was broken into fragments, and found on the steamship dock at an early hour this morning ; Hero's a health to tho man named Blaine now, j 11U UiltlS liuiu iiiu uiuaiaiv ui AUUiiiv. nun . .lliougu no iiaysuuu ikus uu In his hair, but yet we Will whooj)-er-uu well for lilaino now.
