There Is considerable tlmbor nlong the river, nnd somo tidal Inml.i well adapted for stock ranches.

The Silver Bill. Senator Dolph Is justly olulcd at the support, tlio agreement of tlio Confer enco Commitleo on tlio Silver Illlljls re ceiving from republican senators, and it Is probablo that the measuriTtbatl boily will roport will bceomo a law.i The Call Bays: 'It docs not provido for freo coinago, but It provides a mnrkot for ull the silvor produced in tills' coun try. It requires tbo Mint to buy, at Ibo market price in gold, 4,500,000 ounces por month, or 51,000,000 ounces per year. It isdifllcult to stale accurately the domostlc product of silver; brJlh tbo Mint reports and other statistical au thorities vary widely, but it trjay be said willi safely that if tbo .Unilcd Slates ptodtico over that quantity of sliver, the excess is small, and,' in an avorago of years, unless new silver mines nro opened, the product will rattier full short of 51,000,000 ounces than exceed that quantity. Tliujy 'it may lie slated roundly that tbo new bill provides for the utilir.it ion of nH'tho sil ver produced In the country for curren cy purposes, and contemplates imports of silver for iipo in tlic arts from .Mexico llolivia and Europe. Tlio United States will become importers instead of, oxpor leis of silver, and their siirplusVhicb has for many years supplied thelndian and Chinese demand for silver, will cruFO lo figure in Hie exchangers India and China will have lo get their silver from oilier sources; nud wlicn they try lo boy in tlio silver producing countries of Mexico nnd South America, tlley will bo met by a competing demand from this country for silver foi uso' in tlio arts. The calculation U that this will enhancu the gold value of gUverarid Ibo calculation is sound. Tlio bill, if it be comes a law, will add largely to Iff e. pro Ills of silver miners on tbo Comstoqk, in Colorado and elsewhere. fs Citizens of stales which do riot" pro duce silver are expected to acqtilcji;o In this arrangement becauso llio ImJ con-lompl-ttcs new issues of paperjnioney. For tbo sliver bomrht by the Mint, tbo Treasury will issue legal lender -'notes, and this will constitutive an increased currency to the amount of nbout Ally millions n year. Hut tbo now legal len ders rro to bo redeemable in gold or sil ver coin, nt the option of tbo Treasury, on presentation. Thus they dofoot par take of tbo nature of inedoemablc paper money; and in fact, they willi merely offset llio national bank currency, which is lining withdrawn through tlio .cancel lation of tlio bonds on which it is-bascd. So long as the redemption feature ia nd heied to, tbo now treasury notes cannot inflate values. f There has been considerable discus sion nmoiig ship captains and owners in S.in Francisco in regard to dangers to navigation tlmt are now known to be floating uiound off tbo coast. Last week tho schooner Napa City (capsized oir Point Reyes and is nowl drifting aiouud bottom up Bomowhere to the southward of the Faralloncs,right in the tinck of sic inters and sailing vessels bound up tbo coast or San Francisco. On Fiiday last tha steamer Coast lost oil' Mendocino part oi a raft of logs sho was towing down from Fort ltragg. These logs, liko those of tii famous JoggbiB raft, which bioko adi lit on the Atlantic Coast, aro now floating around a menaco to pasiiug voasela. Said ono old ship captain: i "It is impossible to sen tin upturned vessol or log in tbo water at uight, nnd if a vessel going at n good rntojof speed hhuuld btriko a log eu-l on It would pro bably go right through hor. Tlieio nro hundreds of lives and millions of dollars' worth of property at muko nfiil it cer tainly is the slaty of the government, which exacts heavy taxes fiopjjshipping to sond out n vosscl to romovotlioso ob structions to navigation, to tow tbo logs into Bonio port nnd to low In or blow up tbo derelict. If they do not fwo bIuiII certainly hear of some accidents occur ring by their agency." Chincso cnsoH in tlio ciimiual courts aro becoming of almost daily occurrence in Now York Cily.

The fonr.boya won nropated for the contest by lying tliuh hand behind them, Theiifthoy wen taken a abott dlstunco from'tlie pie table and at a signal woro turned loose." Joaquin Miller's Old Age. Thore wofl a ripplo of Rnrpriso mani fest when Joaquin Miller, tlio poet of tbo Sierras, refused to furnish the an nual Fourth of July poem for Ibo local committee of S.in Frnncirco. People who know the orotic man, however, did no, marvel over bis refusal, as they hove known for a long time that the poet is no longer n public character, the man of tbo world and tbo platform speaker of days gone by, but has of recent years doveloped into a, veritable reclu o. Mr Miller is not at all ch irrnad with our modern civilizition. Thero nro many material things which grate harshly up on bis poetic nature, and lie has learned lo ignoro rather than to love the bust ling, busy life of city and town. Not many years ago lie declared Hint novcr again would ho cross the contin ent, and that tlio country to the ei3t of Mount Shasta, whoso rugged psaks ho loves so well, would mo him no raoro. High upon tho foothills, three miles back of K ist Oakland, Miller purchased a fifty-acre tract of land two years ago, and here ho has built ids home. From the doorway of his cotlago ho views the Golden Gate nnd the cities of San -Finn" cisco nnd Oikland! Thoy nro near onougb to him, lie says, from that dis tance, and bo has bo far followed bis lifo as a hermit Hint ha scarcely over comes to tho city. Dating tho past year his visits bavo been growing more infre quent, nnd be even refuses to eee tbo cily people who climb the mountain aide to pay their respects to him. The Harbor at Bucn03 Ayres. Tho Kivor Pinto, on whose southern bank Buenos Ayres is located, is 100 miles wide at its moulli, and in a good many respects lesomblos tho Mississip pi. It is full of shoals, and although its Spanish name, llio do la Plata, meaun "riverof silver," it might more appro priately bo called the rivor of copper, or still bettor, tbo river of red mud, for t' af ia exactly tho color of its waters. Tho effect when sailing over those danc ing vellow waves is qui to poetical. Tlio city itself is a self-mado one, for not on ly nro thero no natural resources to fer tilize its growth, but it is not so well situated for shipping as though it were built on nn oulinary Etrip of sandy beach. Hurbor-lhoro is none. Vessels are compelled first to nnchur in tho middle of the river, out of sight of the city; thence thoy nro towod to within pet haps two miles of tho shore, where they Ho from one to two weeks, along with hundreds of others, awaiting their turn at a whaif. Packed in thus in a wofully neighborly way thoy have nn occassional glimpso of tha city through a forest of spars a view of a long, mon otonous line of buildings, strongly and thoroughly built and low, with only lieie and tlioro a factory chimney stand ing liko a mile-stone of prosperity clear cut ngamst tho sky. Whon nt least tho ship finds herself in a position tonrdoad sho is Btill four miles below tbo city proper at a spot called tlio Boca, which happens to bavo a little deeper water limn others. Passenger steamers re main where thoy first anchor, nnd pas sengers are carried to Hie sboro on bust ling little led and brown steam tugboats. Tbo government Bomo vents ago" con tracted willi nn English company to build an artificial harbor noar the city. Tho work was begun in 1830 and will bo finished in 1893. Its cost will bo 50, 000,000, and it is claimed that whon it is completed vessels can unload as easily as tit Philadelphia or Now Orleans. Tho first census of Ihe United States was taken just 100 years ngo. Tho to tal population was :i.0C9,21-t jut-t nbout tho present population of the state of Illinois. Virginia in 1793 was tho most popu lous of tho states. Her inhabitants numbered 747,010. Possessing great natural resources, lying full on tho sea board, penetrated by a great bay which abounds in oxcellcnt harbors, diversi fied with valtoys of great natural fertil ity, and willi mountains full of timber nnd minerals, Virginia ought to have hold tho first place, and would bavo holdlthnd sho not pteforred to keep shivory, which produced conditions fatal to her growth ami udvuncemant, finally In ought her under tho iron ll.iil of war and led to her dwmambdrment. A liko eausu kept hack North O.uolhia astuto that In 1791 had more inhabitants than New York, and was in fact the third xtatQ in population. In 1790 thoHtatoofN'w York had a population just about as Lugo as the present population of Oregon namely 340,129. This may givo an idea of tho weakness of the United States 100 yearB tgo, compared with their present itronglii. Tlio stato of New York now contains nearly 0,000,000 of inhabitants. That Oregon will have as many 100 vcars hence in iy bo lognrded as proba ble; Indued that number nuy bo loich d long hufora the osphiUiou of 10 yoais so rapidly do all the forces of modorn life accelerate llio movements and hasten the destiny of man.

It is said 20p0 men will bo em ployed duilng the summer in giadiiif and'lmllding sovontee.ii miles of track and constructing a DoO-foot tuunel. NO. 32. Republicans in the U. S. Senate. A caucus of republican senators to ar range a programmo for tho disposition of business during tlio remainder of the session is probable. Tho real point al Issuo is whether or not the national election bill shall be considered at this cession. It is tacitly understood that if an assurance is given the minority that this measure will not be pushed no fac tious opposition will be interposed lo a speedy disposition of tlic tariff bill, riv er and harbor bill and tho remaining appropriation bills and an adjournment at an early hour. The caucus is to un dertake to decide whether an arrange ment of this kind shall be mado. Sev eral propositions intended to meet the emergency in case of any gerrymander ing bavo been canvassed. The latest proposition is to proceed under the ex istent i tiles to transact sucb business as tbo majority may Bee fit to undertake. When a measure has in the Judgement of tbo majority been debated to a reas onable extent, the senator in charge of the measure is to move an adoption of the leport involving tho passage of the bill, nud without furthor rocognition of tho would bo specchmakers, the presid ing officer is to put tho question. The republican senators were in cau cus three hours last week discussing tlio order of business. Tlio outcome was a decision to conclude consideration of the pending bills and then take up the sun dry civil appropriation bill. There was a prolonged deb-ilo respecting the places to b'.- assigned, the tariff bill and tlic rlvor and harbor bill, as well ns the pedlency of considering the national election bill Ibis Bsnson, but no decision reached. It was bolioved before the matters abovo referred to are disposed of the democratic policy will be suffi ciently revealed to guide the republicans to tbo formulation of measures to meet tho situation. Speeches to-night show there was a decided majority for the Federal election bill, and it is said no ono strongly objected to it, but a fairly good number showed a great deal cf lnkewarmne3s on tbo subject. Col. James llendershott was in Port land last week, on his way to attend a meeting of tho State Horticultural So ciety at Corvallis. He says such a crop of cereals as will bo harvested this yoar has never been known in Oregon. In Grand Konde valley especially, the har vest will bo very heavy. The apple ci op in Grand Hondo will bo good, but other fruits will be scarce, owing main ly to over-production Inst season. Eastern Oregon and Washington had a light harvest last year, and it is pleas ing to know that tho shortage will be made up to them this year. Tho people of McMinnville bavo sub scribed $1700 for tho building of an electric motor lino into that city. PainU Paint!
