WEDNESDAY I rxK IS, 1879.
The Oregon Railway and Navi
gation compaivp have elected the fol
lowing efficers: President, Henry
Yillard; vice president, J. N. Dolph;
secretary, G. H. Andrews. The Ore
gonian informs us that the capital
stock of the company, six million dol
lars has been wholly subscribed. Prom
indications it may be stated the first
object of the company will probably
Te to push construction of a road
from the Utah Northern towards
Oregon, and to meet it with a
road extending eastward from the
head of navigation on the Columbia
river. The distance is ascertained to
be 510 miles. There is reason to hope
that the road will be built through
in two years, or perhaps a little more.
Astoria thus becomes the western
terminus.
Calcutta is threatened with a se
ries of strikes among the native work
men. Farriers set the example; taih.rs j
and municipal water carriers have fol
lowed suit. The cause assumed in
e ich case is the oppressive orking of
the new trades license tax an impost
which falls most harshly on the poorer
classes.

The Dalle Inland Empire, June Hth.
The grain yield of Wasco will
be larger than ever known before.
The establishment of another flour
ing mill at this city has been
i.houjrht by niiinv to be overcrowd
in: the business: but if the acreage
in wheat increases next year as it
has this year, no two mills will be
able to grind the wheat that will
be hauled here for sale. All dur
ing April and May we had short
and sharp showers of rain which
ended just :is the water began to
run off, thereby saturating the
ground at intervals and insuring
the most bountiful yield of grain.
The growth of crass, from like
causes, has been enormous and the
cattle and sheep are already as fat
.-is ther can waddle. This year has
already been one of unequaPeu
prosperity for all the county out
side of this to.vn. And with this
advancement of the country tribu
tary to The Dalles, it will not be
long before tin result of the big
fire will be soon forgotten by our
enterprising citizens.
The new steamer D. S. Baker
will draw about ten inches less
water than the Faxon, though we '

'500 tons on anv less water, as she
is sharper and will sink faster to
her load. Ht;r machinery is all in
))lace and her cabin is elegantly
furnished. About September the
Ahnota, .John Gates and Spokane
will all be in service, ami it will be
lime for the larger boats lo go into
their winter quarters. All symp
toms betoken this season as the
heaviest yet known on this river.
It will be good for at least -10,000
tons of grain and 17,000 bales of
wool. Shipments of wool through
here for the past week, have been
immense. On Tuesday the steam
er Harvest Queen brought down to
(Jelilo G77 bales, that would aver
age 310 pounds each, being the
laro-est IojuI over brought down the
n r i l- r .i i
upper Columbia. On the day pre-
vious the r axon brouirht over oOO
bales. The bulk of the v) is from j
Umatilla, which has so far shipped
fiv.e pounds where any of the oth
er landings has shipped three. Be
sides these shipments another big
lot came down on yesterday's boar,
in addition to which teams are be
"inninir to come in with the clirmf
our own county, which ranks second
only on the list to Umatilla. To
rount this entire week's shipment
at 2,000 bales is by no means e.
atrjrerativc. The Indian war of last
year interfered materially with this
important resource of our eastern
empire, which will probably show
nut in its true light during the
course of the present season.
The success of wheat culture in
the neighborhood of Bridge creek,
has set some parties to work on
the flour mill question. It will
enable the Canyon city teamsters
U) haul full loads both ways, and
that will be coin in everybody's
pocket.

1'ainhill Reporter, June 15th.
The Oregon Central railroad is
stretching its sinuous -way up the
country at a rapid rate. The ad
vance graders are now in the
neighborhood of Basket's farm, in
Polk county. The grade is about
complete between St. Joseph and
Amity; the bridges are all finished
to the south Yamhill, and the
probabilities are that the latter
place will be spanned with its
1.300 feet of truss and trestle by
the time the iron comes to hand.
I&ilkins a Woun&od Teat.
From the Dntcnport Guxtlc.
One of our. deepest milkers came
up with a teat badly torn upon a
barbed wire. It was inflamed and
very tender from the wound, and
though a jrentle cow she would not
bear to have it pressed m such a
way as to draw the milk. We
formed a tube from the barrel of
one of the larger winged feathers
of a chicken, and succeeded ad
mirably in drawing the milk. It
was done as quietly as an ordinary
milking, the cow chewing her cud
most of the time. It was then an
easy matter to dress the wound,
and by repeating this a few times
thathicll might otherwise have
resulted in a spoiled udder, as well
as a great deal of trouble, will be
as sound as before. There is no
patent on this milk tube, and the
expense is insignificant.
Railroading is in so primitive a
stage in Hungary that on a pig escap
ing from a pen en route, the trains
are stopped, and the officials engage in
a futile chase after him.
English capitalists have projected
three different railway lines, aggregat
ing 850 miles in length, into the inter
ior of Africa, from points on the east
coast. It is also said that these roads
will open up 1,300 miles of navigable
lakes and rivers, and bring trade to
three hundred million people. A
system of railroads would do more
to civilize the dark continent than
half a dozen armies with banners, or
whole ship-loads of missionaries.
Mre. Hatcli h:is for years been a
conspicuous spiritual medium in. Bos
ton. Her specialty is the production
of flowers from spirit sources. She
gave a seance, a few evenings ago, at
a private ve-stdence. The lights were
extinguished as usual, and the persons
m the circle were enjoined to hold
fast to each other's hands. Flowers
were soon dropped here and there,
and Mrs. Hatcli began to explain how
they Itad bom brought from distant

burners in the room had been conneefc-
ed with an electric lightning appara
tus and suddenly the apartment was
brightly illuminated. The medium
was completely exposed. In her lap
was a pile of flowers, and she was
caught in the act of tossing them in
the air.
