The Cause of Hard Times, An eastern exchange, in puffing a water-wheel says: "It is estimated that turbine water-wheels have, since their invention, saved the country over 8300,000,000 in the one single item of fuel." But the paper does not calculate how many families have been driven to the verge of starvation by those same labor-saving inventions, 300,000,000 taken from the wood choppers of the country is a big item, and if the proportion due to ihis vi cinity could be -equitably dilTOuted it would relieve the presenj dgpres" sion in business. The turbpe theel fellows ought to be compelledricdo dis gorge. Krainuth Sirer. The Yreka Journal referring "to the , Klamath river says: We cannot see why Klamath rivar would not alFord a profitable enterprise in the salmon canning business, as that stream abounds with this fish. We suppose the difficulty is in get ting into the river from Humboldt bay, with vessels for shipping, but a late successful effort by a small steam er, promises to make the stream ac cessible. The Klamath is "the largest stream in California, and carries an immense body of water from the mouth of the Scott river to the coast, and is quite a Jarge stream all through this country up to the Big and Little Klamath Jakes, in southern Oregon, which feed 5t. From what we know of rfihat river and its tributaries we judge it to be one of the most productive uivers an that line on the coasfc. The Standard is informed, on what it considers good authority, tket the Grangers have notified their stock holders tth at a meeting will be called to sell l&eir steamers, the S. T. Church, and McMinnville, and close out this branch Jf .their business, and also to attend to othor matters which may require their consideration. Brownsville, a town-of .five or six hundred inhabitants, can boast of more snap ,and business tact, whou it comes to looking after her indus tries, than many a town of five times her number. Several iugus went to pot, and sun dry panes of window glass were broken by the fall night before last and yestci dapuiasning by the storm, which was unprecedented in this latitude.
