The San Francisco Chronicle says
sl new swindle lias appeared in that
city m which a lot oi rascals canvas
ilie city pretending to be artists and
-solicit .patronage for their skill. They
offer to produce pictures at very cheap
rates, to be paid for on the installment
plan, demanding the first installment
of two or three dollars in advance.
The victims to the cheat never see the
pictures or the pretended artists again.
It would be well for the people of this
state to be on the lookout for such
Gcalawags, as they are liable to put in
an appearance at airy time.
The Walla Walla Statesman says
Tvnock-downs and reports of knock

been knocked down1 at Main street
bridge and robbed of $22- Investiga
tion revealed the fact that he had been
on a jamboree, and entering the office
of one of our hotels had taken posses

watchman attempted to rempve him,
he got angry, showed figlii ,-and -as a
result came off second best.

The Carpenters Brigade.
The first job of work that we got on
landing in Portland, fifteen years ago,
w:is to cut and split twenty cords of
wood for Capt. A. P. Ankney. We
did it with our own hands, every bit
of it; times were hard and we could
not find any other work to do. There
are in every community now Chinese
monopolizing this business, and wJiite
men dread to tackle that kind of work,
but here in Astoria we botist of men
who have the pluck to do any honest
job that comes along, and Messrs. M.
F.. Sessions, Fox, Badger and Church,
have fitted themselves out for wood
sawing or other odd t jobs, from build
ing a hall to storing. a wood- shed.
When you have work of this kind to
do, givejt to the Carpenter's Brigade.

The Palouse Country.
Uklr. James Benton, one of the ear
liest settlers on the Palouse, informs
the Walla Walla Statesi lan, that im
migrants continue to pour into the
country. One day this week one hun
dred persons were' counted, all heading
for Colfax. He states that nearly all
the bottom lands are t.vken up, but
back toward the mountains there is
any amount of good lain 3 open to set
tlement. They have tiv saw mills on
the Palouse, three of tnem operated
by steam power, and yet such is the
demand for lumber Ihatithe
mills re
fuse to take new orders. The
new
comers will have to goback to the
timber and build log hugs in which to
pass the winter. Four (flouring mills
will be ready for grinding this fall.
Immigrants now coming n have means,
and many of them desif to purchase
improved farms. As a rule the set
tlers are satisfied with? -their claims,
and it is very rare that "man is found
willing to sell. At the resent rate of
progress, Whitman will" soon be tlie
empire county of the tei itory.
Temper an c
Upon the temperance ' pic the Port
laud evening Telegra says: 2so

The very remedy insisted upon shows
that they have no faith in his truth
fulness; that they see his hypocrisy,
and that they know that he litis sunk
his manhood in his passion for drink.
The onty practical remedy for this
state of affairs seems to be the impres
sing upon the mind of a man a deep
sense of his individual responsibilit'
to his family, society and his Maker,
for his acts.

WALLA WALLA 2TJBWS.
From the Watchmau, Nov. ictlu
Mr. John Jack closed his theatre,
after a very profitable season, last Mon
day night. He certainly is deserving
the liberal patronage of any communi
ty, and sustains a world famed reputa
tion, not as a celebrated actor, but
that of an honestgeDtleman. Success
attend thee, Mr. Jack, where e're you
may go. We shall see him again on
Thanksgiving day, when he will give a
good bill.
What a glorious idea it would be
if some of our enterprising farmers
would join. in and start a little forest!
The outlay would be hut a trifle com
pared to the incalculable benefits which
would be derived in after years. Talk
the matter over during the, winter as
you sit by the fireside of home, and
then, perhaps, when springtime comes
again you may take a notion to plant
trees by the wholesale.
Ninety passengers, mostly men in
search of new homes, came up on last
Sunday's train. We fear many come
rather at the wrong season, will per
haps stay and "rough it through the
winter, and then when spring comes,
just at the tune everything looks in
viting, they will rush off and curse
the country and everybody in it, be
cause we have no California climate,
African diamond diggings, and no
place where to strike oil, but we have
thousands upon thousands of acres of
land which will bring forth its golden
harvest when the proper time comes.
But remember, strangers, winter is not
our harvest season, hence don't feel
disappointed if you should meet with
si cold winter, though such are excep
tions. Get your claim and sack to it.
If you can't get the lumber in time to
build your winter quarters, dig a hole
in the side hill and sweat it through
Is ext spring when you get you dwell
ing up you can turn your temporary
abode into a root house, but hang on
to your land, for the day will come
when you will thank us for these words
of encouragement, no matter what you
think about them now.

From the Lewiston Teller, Nov. 3d. i

mand, arrived in - town on Thursday
just in time for an appointment as
timber inspector for Washington terri
toiy, awaiting him.
Martin Maulie was in town this
week making out his statements of
losses in cattle, hogs and other prop
erty from the indians sifter the Clear
water fight, and while Howard was
dallying in camp. The amount fckts
up to upwards of S,000.
We learn that many of the first lo
cated farmers, north of us, have ppid
off their arrearages and are now com
naratively free from debt, and some of
them have money on hand, besides
stock and well improved farms.
Much of the timber for the con
struction of the building for- the new
saw mill of the Lewiston lumbering
company is already on the ground,
and they hope to have their mill in
operation before the expiration of.
next month.
We are informed that parties who
are interested to know, have taken
steps to have a complete census taken
of all the indians on the Nez Perce
reservation. It will be completed this
month, and be authentic and no guess
work or'interested estimate.
L. W. Davenport, Esq. , was in town
this week from Pine Creek, he tells us
that liis oats this season" yielded 110
bushels per acre of measured ground,
and that his wheat uveraged 45 bush
els per acre. He further says that im
migration is flowing into that section
of country very rapidly, that much of
it is from California, and many of ihe
newcomers are men of means sufficient
to make a good start in improving
t their lands.
