&fc IteiXg StoCiStt, ASTORIA. OREGON : D. C. IltEIiA3TI Editor. -TUESDAY Nov. 6. 1877 General 0. 0. Howard. General Howard will return to his home in Oregon on the next trip of .the Geo. "W. Elder, arriving here prob ably about Sunday next. The citi zens of Portland are meanwhile per fecting arrangements for a reception to be tendered him. Gen. Howard has earned such a tes timonial of respect as this will be at the hands $f his fellow townsmen, and we only wish that Astorians could join in the movement. Not long since we published a dis patch from Chicago stating in sub stance that Gen. Howard having either personally or through an officer given out, without consent or knowledge, a report made by himself to General Sheridan concerning the Nez Perces war, which at least gave a more flat tering account of his share in the hos tilities than was given by other reports, and the Tribune having published that report, General Sheridan called atten tion to an old order which makes such action a misdemeanor, punishable by dismissal, and intimated that upon a repetition of such ofiense this punish ment will be visited upon the offender The order was issued by Gen. Sher idan on the 25th of October, from military headquarters, Division of the Missouri, at Chicago. It is presumed the order was called out by the con duct of an officer on General Howard's staff, who, immediately upon his arri val in, ChicagOjhurried to the Tribune with a copy of his chief's report, to gether with a rose-colored account of the campaign against the Ncz Perces from the start in Idaho to the surren der at Pear Paw mountain. General Sheridan, to whom the report was ad dressed, and not an officer who hap pens to be in Chicago for a dajr, was the proper person to say whether the report w;ts worthy of publication or not. In conversation with with a reporter Gen. Howard said: "I have had much to grieve me. The government has seen fit to rob me of a large sum of money, and I have been too poor to prosecute my claims, and my country men have seen fit to heap nothing but abuse upon me. They seem to have arraigned me before the country as some sort of a politician. The only politics I have is to be loyal to my government. I have been blamed for writing for newspapers. I have never written a line for self-laudation or no toriety. I have written articles for money, in order that I might put shoes upon the feet of my children. I don't know why I should be so abused and maligned, but I suppose it will be kept up until I am dead, and after I am gone I hope that my children at least, if nobody else does, will be able to see what good, if any, was in me." OREGON STATE NEWS. --Forest Grove is overstocked doctors. with Farmers in the vicinity of Scholl's ferry have sowed considerable fall wheat, bul the heavy rains stopped them for the time being. A. Ackeraon, of Oswego, has tak en a contract of furnishing two hund red thousand feet of logs to the Mc Kay mill this winter, at $2.50 per thousand. The last man in the harvest field in Linn county this year was Andy Palmer, on the island four miles be low Peoria. He finished on the 20th of October. Business was never more prosper ous than now, in Halsey, and every branch well represented, with the ex ception of the saloon business, and in that none need apply. Cornelius is picking up. The price paid for grain there is $1.12 for wheat and 45 tnts for white oats, four car loads are shipped daily, alio some potatoes are being shipped from the warehouse. Diphtheria is still raging on the Tualatin. John Jacob, "W. W. Gra ham and Mrs. Catherine Graham are reported to have it and the latter is said to have it seriously. A. S. Watt has purchased Mr. Richardson's farm in Cedar canyon five miles northeast of Forest Grove, containing 160 acres, price 1,500, a good bargain. , G. Grfter, of Oregon city, has star ted a logging camp on the Tualatin just below Taylor's bridge. He has purchased the timber, one hundred acres of land, paying $4 per acre. Col. Hogg has departed for Eu rope. His last words were, "I think the Yaqnina bay railroad is a fixed fact, and no mistake. " We wish the Colonel a- properous and pleasant trip. The Bee tells about having receiv ed ten nevr subscribers the other Say. They must nave come from 'amongst the Slums. It says nothing of respect able people who have quit taking" the filthy sheet. Several families are leaving Wash ington county for Spokane. Several young men of Scholl's ferry acting up on the advice of Horace Greeley to ' go west" are going to Spokane, because they can't get any farther west with out crossing the Pacific ocean. The Warm Spring Indians, who came down to the valley to pick hops, have all gone home with the exception of six families. Two of these are liv ing in Peoria, Charley Pitt and .Tom Palmer, and four are grubbing for Mc Ilree brothers. They are good hands at any kind of work. Messrs. Gibbs, Dennison and Beebe have formed a copartnership for the practice of law, in Portland. The senior members of the firm are very favorable known throughout Ore gon and Washington territory, and Mr. Beebe is a young man who has a well established reputation. --The report circulated throughout the state that large quantities of wheat near Halsey were destroyed by early rains, is incorrect, as a very few hundred bushels would cover all losses. There is 100,000 bushels of wheat in the warehouses at present, which is much less than half the quantity of that staple received during the season. The Halsey city government is an unquestionable success, and the splen did new sidewalks and street improve ments generally, warrant this asser tion. In fact, to make a brief summing-up of Halsey, it is a way up place for life, business, energy, benevolence, good old-fashioned sociability, pretty girls, and all the pleasant surround ings for a happy home. The New Northwest correctly re marks that the assiduity and industry displayed by the Bee reporters in un earthing scandal, and detailing the same to their readers, renders that pa per unfit for family perusal. Fancy a father or mother reading aloud from its columns at the family dinner-table, or by the light of the parlor lamp, on almost any evening last week. The college boys at Forest Grove have an interesting debating society. Last week the question for discussion was: Resolved, 'That European pow ers should put an end to the eastern war." The Independent says it was dis cussed in an interesting and profitable manner. Pointed and telling addresses were made in the affirmative by N. Davis, S. R. Stott and J. T. Whalley, which were opposed by able and well arranged speeches made by N. McCoy, H. Lyman and W. N. Barrett. The vice president, G. W. Coplin, occupy" ing the chair, gave the decision in fav or of the affirmative. Mr. Davis, who lives about two miles north of Forest Grove raised this season about 2,000 pounds of grapes on a half acre of ground from which he' will realize $150.00. The grapes are of excellent quality said to be better than California grapes. Mr. D. raised thirty bushels of wheat to the acre and a good many potatoes. He will realize from his crops about $700.00, which is pretty good for a piece of hill land which sold a few years ago fo $.25 per acre. Mr. Long, who formerly hed on the land could not Kafc a support; This place xa.BQW coftM4ered worth $2,000. NEWS OP THE MOKNING. An earthquake shook thing3 up lively in New York, Massachusets, Vermont, New Hampshire and other Atlantic states, on Sunda'. A hurricane on lakes Erie, Onta tario and Michigan, did considerable damages to shipping on Saturday night. Fires in New York city, Louis visse, Ky., Jefferson city, Mo., and Harnsburg, Pa., on Sunday destroyed property to the value of about half a million dollars. The fire .at Jefferson city was in the stockade 'surrounding prisoners at work in a coal mine. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
