OKEGON: TIM PAY ...ZL7TZI..-FEBRL'ARY 5. 1SSG Snori.n President Cleveland die brfoie the expiration of his term, Secretary Bayard would step into the vacancy. Firor. Baikd says that a fair es timate of the annual product of the American fisheries would not fall short of $100,000,000. The total amount of the Indian territory trade may be imagined irom the fact that the sales from St. Louis to the territory reach some 1(3,000,000 annually. The wool clip of Oregon and "Washington territory for 1SS5 was 13,000,000 pounds, which was 3,000,000 pounds in excess of lSl, and .".,000,000 ahead of 1SS3. Oxk firm in Western Massachu setts last year made 130,000 drums, using 5.00,000 feot of lum ber, 25,000 sheepskins, 2,200 pounds of cord and tons of other fittings. There were 40,712- persons em ployed in the oyster interest in Maryland last season and 9,000,- MtH) bushels were taken from the waters, the aggregate value of v hic-h was $2,250,000. A oreat bay on the coast of Alaska, recently discovered by the United States coast survey offi cers, h.is been named Thomas bay, in honor of Congressman Thomas, of Illinois, who has been zealous in promoting naval interests. Iowa has nearly discarded the raising of wheat, the yield has fallen off so much. From forty or fifty bushels lo the acre, the pro duction has dropped to ten and twelve bushels. The wheat belt of the country is steadily moving to the frontier. Dakota is crying aloud for unmarried women, and the editor oi the Fargo Aryus says: "We ran accommodate 10,000 girls with husbands in Dakota on ninety days1 notice. We have published 2,000 letters for as many young women and made as many matches. An Illinois firm will build a great beef-packing house on the Northern Pacific in Montana. They will kill :nd pack 200 beeves a day. The tendency is to move the packing houses farther west, where the cattle are raised. Cat tle trains seem destined to give way to trains of refrigerator cars. Senator Shehmax now stands solitary and alone as the senator who sat in the body when the civil war began. He was elected to congress thirty-two years ago, and was once defeated for the speaker ship by the introduction of a reso lution inquiring into his indorse ment of Helper's "Impending Cri sis.' Ax improved baud saw is com nig into use in the northern piner ies which is said, to be a great sav ing of lumber, by cutting a thin ner kerf than the circular saw. An easy running band saw for the domestic woodshed would prove very popular. Wood saving is not so great a consideration as saving the old man's back. a year each it will swell the total to $200,000,000 a year. This im mense sum is scattered all orer the United States. It keeps up the hotels, and is one of the most important items of railroad passen ger receipts. A saw mill at Flint, Mich., of which ex-Gov. Begole was a lead ing owner, has just cut its last log and gone out of commission. During the last twenty years it has cut 1GO,000,000 feet of lumber; has given employment during that time upon the average to fifty-five men, whose wages have amounted to 360,000. The pine both on the Flint river and at Harrison is exhausted. A well-known lumber man of Grand Rapids, Mich., thinks that standing pine has risen in value from 40 to 50 per cent recently, and that in five years Michigan lumbering will generally be at an end.

Two years ago the prisons were self supporting, and the convicts earned their own liv ing, but the legislature abolished the system of hiring the convicts out to contractors, and no other method of employing the full con vict force has been devised to ta'ce its place. It is' proposed to equip the prisons with machinery for conducting various kinds of man ufactures, so that the prisoners can be employed inside the inclosures, but this will cost a large sum of money 2,700,000 and the leg islature hesitates about the appro priation. Ix the time of slavery it was the polic' of the pro-slavery congress es, in admitting new states, to ad mit a slave state and a free state together. By this means the equi librium of United States senators representing freedom and those representing slavery was long maintained. But at length free territories became entitled to ad mission as states more rapidly than slave territories, and the rupture between the two systems came. The Democrats in congress now want to apply a similar policy to the admission of new states, and to hitch a Democratic terri tory like Montana on to Dakota before the latter is admitted. KEEP WARM !

Ship Chanilery VAN DUSEN & GO., DRALEUS IN Tin: annual emigration j eturns for the United Kingdom show that during 1885 2G4:,9SG persons left British and Irish norts for places out of Europe, a decrease of 383915 compared with the previ ous year. Five-sixths of the Irish emigrants proceeded to the United StateSj as did nearly two-thirds of those of Scotch nationality, while England contributed under 74,000 o$a total of nearly 127,000. One of the leading dry coods salesmen of the United States says that there are now about 80,000 traveling salesmen on the road in this country, and that 'their ex pense accounts alone will average $l,o00 a year each. This for ex penses alone means an outlaj' of $120,000,000 a year, and if you will.count in n average of 1,000 A London dispatch of the 3rd says: "Everything now hangs on Gladstone. He admits that he went to Osborne without having formulatpd a plan for dealing with the Irish question, and he says he still has none ready. Bnt he is confident, cheerful almost, in the belief that he will prove able to satisfy everybody. Nothing like it has been seen since the days of the American republic at the time which shadowed the beginning of President Lincoln's administration, and when Secretary Seward gave secession sixty days to live. With equal trust and confidence Glad stone now faces the most threaten ing crisis of English history in the present reign, and solemnly prom ises that all swarming dangers shall be averted. He stands alone, both as to counsel and action. Not one of the candidates for seats in his cabinet has been con sulted about the possible settle ment of the Irish question. All stand with closed eyes, waiting for what Gladstone may say."
