Farmers' Congress. According to the address just issued by the Farmers' con gress, "While the Increase of farm values from i860 to iS8owas t'i per cent, that of other values was JO 'A percent. And while j the agricultural Industry represents 44 per cent, of those engaged in 'gainful occupa tions,' the agricultural class holds only 12 per cent, of the wealth of the nation. A nd although the amount of wealth produced by the agriculturists has quadrupled dur ing the last two decades, their proportion of the results of our general Industry has shrunk from 56 per cent, to 27 per cent., while that of those engaged largely in modifying and transporting what has "been produced by the farmer has increased dur the time from about 30 per cent, to nearly 75 per cent." The congress gives as the cause, the national banking system, high and unequel taxation, vast monopolising transportation companies, trusts, and the legalized liquor tralKc. Claim Jumping. In our real estate col umn yesterday was the following "E. O. Smith, Golden Ridge mining claim, by virtue of $joo worth of work." It seems that this claim belongs to A. B. Woodin, XV. F. Read and others, of Albany. In order to hold a claim it is necessary to do a certain amount of work on it during the year. Dr. Smith, of Salem, claiming this had not been done jumped the claim and in order to get a title to it did the necessary amount of work and haR been using every means possible to keep the lawful owneis away from it until the end of the year. Mr.'Woodin, accompanied by Hon. VV. R. Bllyeu left this morning for the seat of war for the purpose of asserting the rights of himself and associates and downing this Salem claim jumper. To-day Masser and Hilyeu are to be tried near Mehama on a charge made by Dr. Smith of trcipassing on the claim Want a "$5000 Bonus. While Salem is getting woolen mills and railroads it is liable to loose some of its present wealth. Mr. J. M McAllister, of that city, writes Cherry & Parkes, of this city, that a com pany of five, including himself, has been formed there for the manufacture of stoves, and they agree to move to this city, lease the foundry plant for a term of years and manufacture stoves, in consideration of a bonus of $5000. We present the matter for the consideration of our citizens. Is Albany Interested. Salem people are dead in earnest about getting a railroad from Astoria through that city, and will send a committee to Astoria within a I'.w days to confer with Astoria men In refer ence to the subject. The building of this road is one of the most important enter prises of the present time, and the valley city that gels the road will reap a big bene fit. What does Albany intend to do. The V. L's The Vineyard Laborers of the Baptist church met last evening with Mr. and Mrs. Race at the St. Charles hotel and spent a very enjoyable evening in games and sociability. A nice lunch was served in the dining room, and those present pronounce the affair one of the pleasantest in the history of the society. River Traffic The O. R. & N. now has two steamers on the Upper Willam ette, the Accident and Champion , and as the Oregon Pacific hat more freight on hand than it can ship, the former company necessarily has the inside track. The river now is just in its glory for navigation. Willing to Return. Quite a num ber, of the Meyers railroad laborers are willing to return to work, and this morning dozcn left again for the front. That looks at least as if they had confidence in the railroad. The men under Searle & Ueane continue their labors.

We suspected something like the following, which we take from the Ashland Record : "The Boston Comedy Co. stranded in Ashland last week, four of the troupe, including G M Gray, the comedian, and one lady went south and the manger, Mr. Hawkins, and the balance went on north it is said to join part of the Lillian Drew Co. which also broke up at Roseburg." They played in Roseburg, though, and the Review says : "The Boston Comedy Company gave two good plays in Roseburg this week. A large audience greeted them both nights. The company nave several good actors and de serve good houses everywhere." Time Lost. The hull of the "Yaquina Bay" appears to be as perfect as it was the day she went ashore. To a land lubber like myself, it looks like much valuable time is being lost in getting to work saving this splendid ship. We believe the vessel can be taken off and repaired for half what she Is Insured for if not even less. Yaquina Republican. Elected. At the regular meeting of Oreana Encampment No. 5, 1. O. O. F'., last night the following officers were elected for the ensuing term : J F Hail, C P; Willi. Glllet, II P;FS Crosby, S W; EJ Dillon, J W;C G Rawlings, scribe; E A Parker, treasurer; J F Backensto, E A Parker and G W Hochstedler were elected trustees. Great Negligence. A remonstrance should have been made by the small pox kickers against allowing the Italian labor ers to come into the city during the past week. The militia boys should have issued a "request."

At the regular meeting of the Union on Tuesday afternoon, the new President,Mrs St. John formally took the chair, in doing so, he gracefully spoke her thunk. , tv.. honor confered upon her, but deprecated that the choice of the Union had fallen up on her, as she deemed herself ni!r.i i capable of presiding at the meetings and watching over the Interest, of the organi zation.
