Co. have made extensive preparations to build "ai mere is among unintelligent upon the line to Baker City as far j readers) a belief that letter postage as Pclictn station on the edge of has been reduced from three to Grand Ptonde, and there they have! two cents per half ounce. Itscf-ms ceased. Were they to build no jVlinost incredible that persons who further than this, they would at can read and write should have once secure trade and travel j gained this notion merely from the enough to make the route pay. I printed headings in the daily jour- I3ut the completion of the pro- posed Short Line being a through route, would at once destroy the O. II. & N. Co.'s bnsiness. conse quently it can be safely predicted that the O. R. & N. will build to Baker City, and possibly extend further. On the other hand the Short Line has reached the Wood river country, and it is also pro jected for a distance which will bring it to the Weiser through :i country that will yield a ready trade. When it gets beyond that point it will be in a profitless country, one whose productions could be taken out with a single train. Then it is evident thar, should they make any attempt to pass this point of paying traffic, they will do so with a view of contrail- ing a through line to tide water. They have already made prcpara- tions for a bridge at Burnt River iwumu k "u,,lk AW i. ass. xii iuui Nuuii ine u. h. a, 1 m m j io.are a.so grauing. xn con-, vegtern Q n and Washington flict caused a proposition to be,T. roslst p.nt. ,of 0rWin made by the O. R. & N. Co. to the Short Line company, to connect roads. No definite action was taken on the matter at the time, though about a month afterwards it was whispered around that a meeting was to be held at Salt Lake, and negotiations were then to be opened between the rival companies. This was in Decem ber. Nothing since has been heard of conciliation or settlement of the complication. When the f T? XT "' ..,, !,: -..l the Baker Branch Road-thev knew . " i their destination. They also were ! J aware of the Short Line's progress, ! ' j. it. i. jj. akiti lvtu nicu iuiiu . anu ine oiiori, jume ikiu us eyes . j a. pi t- . ij :. I open to the action of the O. R. & N. Co. There is one thing evi dent, the O. R. & N. Co. must hare started out with the intention of building a through line, but the subsequent acquirement of the control of the Northern PaciGc rendered that plan undesirable? Yet being aware that the proposed route of the O. R. & N. Co. was superior, they have labored with a view of defeating the completion of the Short Line, which is certain i to be the shortest route across the continent. Whether they will ac complish this result remains to be seen. If they can enter into a combination ivith the Short Line, they will do so. If not, they will attempt to dispose of their road to that company, and a war will be waged between the N. P. and U. P. roads. The O. . & N. and N. P. are on the defense. There is plenty of timber land yet untaken on Puget Sound, says the Argus, if you only know where to find it. Parties desiring timber claims should inquire and make the acquaintance of a "tim ber cruiser," who will put the ap plicant on the track of a claim for say $50. These experts or cruisers have full knowledge of vacant timber land, and if you apply to the right parties they will show you a claim of five or six million feet of timber for the small sum of $50; then you go to the land office and file thereon, and after the usual public notice of ten weeks, prove up and pay for it at the rate of $2.50 per acre and the land is yours; at an expense of about $500. Then the claim is worth from $1,000 to $3,000. Brace up the whole system with Kiaj otk B1L AdYtrfeMHWt. Intelligent roaders of newspa- pc"3 way well be surprised to learn nals. Jiut it is likely that the dc luded people who have besieged the postoffice clerks to exchange three cent stamps for two cent i stamps, under the 'impression that the former are no longer of any use. have gained this scrap of news Irom the hasty leading of a "display head' in a newspaper. There are people who pride them- j selves on their ability to pick up all the really desirable news of the da- in this manner. They are "too busy" to read any thing but the head line. But when it comes to trading old stamps for new on the basis of in formation acquired on the wing. as it were, the necessity of taking little time for the sake of accu- raGy is apparent.

Owing to this fact dairy farming is the most desirable occupation. The year 1SS2 will be remem bered in the political history of the-counliy as a year of peaceful revolution in part3' politics. With the exception of its reverses in 1S74 and 187G the Republican party since it attained power in the nation has suffered no defeats comparable with those which it sustained in the year now drawing to a close. Since the country is prosperous in spite of misgovern ment the results cannot be at tributed to "hard times," as the result of the political campaign of 1S74 was. The outcome of the re cent elections was largely due to the fact tkat there is a widespread desire for a change m party su premacy, the Republican organi zation having charge of national afTairs for more than twenty-one years, and to the unpopularity of the federal administration and a congress which had disappointed the just expectations of the peo ple.

A !few years ago stock could be bought for a song, but it takes coin now. A late issue of the New York Herald contained special mention of the cure of Thaddeus Davids, Esq., of the great ink firm, 127 William street, New York. He" was suffering from rheumatic gout, I an inueritea ailment, anu or. Ja cobs Oil cured him in twenty-four hours. j Perhaps the biggest graiu farm I j under one ownership in California. is that of Dr. Glenn in Colusa; county. He has under fence GO,- j 000 acres, all in a good state of cultivation. His staple product is wheat. In the harvest year of 1880-81, he shipped for ex port from this one farm no loss than 2S,000 tons. Estimating this quantity at the low rate of $1.50 per cental, we have a value of between $SOO,000 and $900,000 for this singlo tract of grain land. The grower sent his produce di rectly to the European markets, loading twelve large sized vessels. The doctor did not have as large returns this last season, owing to unfavorable influence. It maj also be incidentally remarked that this one parcel does not comprise all of the possessions of this large land proprietor. He has other tracts in less compact form in dif ferent sections of the state. Much of the value oE the Pacific Northwest depends on its mild temperature andsalubrious climate, its exemption from the extremes of summer's heat and winter's cold. Any description of that region will be insufficient that does not show how it comes that the western part of it is so certain ty supplied with moisture, when California, occup3'ing the same re latiYC position on the south coast suffers from drouths. The west ern valleys of Oregon are abund antly watered by springs and streams and propitious rainfall, while the fields of California have to be irrigated to make agriculture a certainty. It is the sweep of this great Japan current, that is lost before it reaches California, that gives to western Oregon and Washington temperate climate, abundant rainfall and certainty of harvests.
