C :. he Puito monm Vol. xvh. Astoria, Oregon, Thursday Morning, August 17, 1882 No. 118. CROP PROSPECTS. The harvest in eastern Oregon and Washington is nearly complet ed and the result is much more favorable than was anticipated. In most places the very late spring sown wheat is short, but early seeding and fall crops are "good, and may be said to be of a fair average. The quality is also ex cellent. While the yield per acre will not equal that of last vear, the. increase of acreage will more than supply the difference, and Irom what we could learn, we are led to the opinion that there will be more wlieae come down the Columbia river this year than did last. The foot hills are turning out well while the- lower flats, which were generally seeded late in the spring will not produce a fair average in a few localities. The TJitz farm on the Xorthern Pacific, which was seeded last Jail has turned out on 1.10 acres an average of 50 bushels per acre, and many others of which we were informed go above this figure. In Grand Itonde valley the season has been very unfavorable, but that section is mainly devoted to stock raising and not considered a wheat section.. As soon as the railroad reaches that fertile and beautiful valley, the stock will have to give place to wheat fields. The price offered for wheat is very en couraging to the farmers, and the are in good spirits. The constructions of the various rail roads east of the mountains are creating a home market for a great deal the farmers raise and have for sale. At no time since the opening of the northwest, has -there-been lmore rapid progress in the devel opment of the country, and people arc arriving daily to make it their future home. The progress now being made in railroad building will within the next year connect northern Idaho, eastern Oregon and Washington by rail with this city, and by that time two eastern lines will be completed, the Xorthern Pacific and the Short Line, the lat ter of which will connect with the 0. K. X. Co.'s road at Baker City. The present prospects for the northwest are most flattering and its progress will be more' rapid within the next two years than it has for the past ten. Portland Standard. Every Ladder Has Two Ends When I was a small boy 1 was carrying a not very large ladder, when there was a crash. An un lucky movement had brought the rear end of my ladder against a window. Instead of scolding me, my father made me stop, and said very quietly, "Look here, my son, there is one thing 1 wish you to remember; that is, every ladder has two ends.5' I never have for gotten that, though many years have gone. Don't we cany many things besides ladders that have two ends? When T see a younjr man getting "fast'' habits, I think he sees but one end of the ladder the one pointed toward pleasure, and that he does not know that the other is wounding his parents' hearts. Many a young girl car ries a ladder in the shape of love for dress and finery; she sees the gratification of a foolish pride at the forward end of the ladder, while the end she does not sec is crushing modesty and friendship as she goes along thoughtlessly among the crowd. A'! j-es, every ladder has two ends, and it is a thing to be remembered in more ways than one. The Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad company has sold to an English syndicate, represented br Close Bros., 1,000,000 acres of land at S4..50 per acre. Ingenious Smuggling.

The donor had made a mistake and handed out the wrontr article. Hundreds ofj pounds of opium have doubtless been smuirgh'd in this manner right under the noses of our cus tom house officials, without sus picion on their part that there was anything wrong. The Owner of One Shirt Once a woman who was called in to do Garibaldi's washing, ven tured to remark that she could not find his shirts. "My shirts! 1 have but two," he replied. Vou must have one in the wash, I have the other on. With a little order and calculation two shirts are plenty!" This sort of philosophy was, how ever, equaled by a Kentuckian of whom the Detroit Free Press tells the stery: lie owned but one shirt and was accustomed to lie in bed one day each week to have the sacreu "-armeut wasneu. jie morning while he was at rest his wife rushed in and cried: "Bill, the duvued calf he, et your shirt!" Upon this Bill remarked tranquilly, that "thpm ez he, must lose!"' . Among the bills which congress left to go over til! the next session were the follewing: For the ad mission of Washington Territory and New Mexico into the Union; the five-per-cent land bill; the Ocean Shore Hail road bill; to al low the construction of a bridge across the Willamette at Portland, in the state of Oregon; to provide for a scientific exploration of the territory of Alaska; to authorize a preliminary examination and sur vey of the passes between the af fluents of the upper Missouri and Columbia rivers, for the purpose of ascertaining the distance between the navigable waters of said rivers and the practicability of uniting said rivers by a canal or other wise. Five persons were killed in a riot at Eastman, Ga. The trouble be gan with an attempt by a deputy marshal to recover a watch taken by a colored gambler named Jack Jackson. He ran and the marshal shot him dead, which enrajred the colored people and thcy.brutally murdered a young man named IToward. The citizens of Eastman armed themselves and a general engagement took place, in which .three negroes were killed and sev eral persons wounded on both sides, the negroes being routed. The Alabama election is in favor of the Democratic state ticket-by a large majoriry, though it is much reduced from that of 3880. The election was very quiet and a light vote was polled everywhere. In the black belt the Republicans had not organized, and many ne groes voted the Democratic ticket in the northern part of the state. There are about one thousand cats employed in the Post Office Department throughout the coun try, to keep rats and mice out of the mail matter Their number and the cost of their maintenance are strictly accounted for, and when any one of them declares a dividend, that fact is duly report ed, and provision is made for the new comers. ictona, winch naci on ooaru jginiui since the Hth of July 1SS1. lare number of Chinese, a jjenlle- . , , . . . . s r' The bonded debt ot Boston is man was g-i ven a cigar by one of . . .

Within the past ten years To ronto, Canada, is said to have spent 51,000,000 on her streets, and to have nothing to show for it.
