IMMORALITY IN ALASKA.
What One Who Has Visited That Land
Has to Say. '
Oregon Literatare.
Thcofllces of the Oregon Land
Company arc this week turned Into
a mailing room. They are wrap
ping aud addressing 50,000 pam
phlets which they had prepared for
them. Half of this number are of
the West Shore edition and the
remainder are of the one
of lute compilation. These are
being sent to all who have made in
quiries as to Oregon's advantages
and resources. They i?olu all direc
tions and to all parts of the United
States and Canada. A majority of
the inquiries continue to bo from
Kansas. Dakota, Minnesota, Mich
igan and Nebraska make good
seconds. Missouri, which is said to
have settled Oregon, furnishes her
share of the Inquiries, while Ten
nesee and the two Virginias hold
their own. Throughout tue Eastern
states there are hundreds aud hun
dreds of families whose eyes are
turned toward the land "where
rolls the Oregon." Tills state otters
them homes in the noblest land the
sun ever shone upon.
Salem is the bright morning star
of the Willamette valley aud that is
why we say come to Salem to live.
That Mountain Pats,
it Is Just probable that all this
fuss over the mountain nass, says
the Albany Herald, is over u good
sized canard. It is known that
thero is a party of surveyors sent
out to take topographical notes over
the lino of the W. V. & C. M.
"Wagon Itoad company's land grant,
aud if Inquisitive persons should
visit their camp and ply them witli
questions it would bo very natural
for these men to give them a "big
till," and tills they may have done.
At any rate the Oregon Pacific
lias the route located, and about
Hl'ty miles of track laid eastward of
Albany, besides several miles right
at the summit, and it would appear
to 1) u boinewhat dilllcult job to
pievent its eastward construction,
which will no doubt bo lesunied in
short time.
Smallpox .ts.
At the asylum all goes well with
George Alberts, tliu smallpox pa
tient. As yet lie has but a mild at
tack and 110 serious results are ap
prehended, 'lhose of the patients
who have not yet beeu vaccinated
will be subjected to tills precaution
at once. No now eases have devel
oped as yet, and Dr. Lnuo gives it
us ids opinion that none am likely
to. The quarnatlno is strictly en
forced, and the gates are locked
ugainstall. Supplies will be deliv
ered to the institution in such a
manner as not to contaminate.
When it Is considered that the
asylum is two miles to the east of
the city and that the smallpox
patient is in a pest house far re
moved, there need bo no danger.
A ltlsluf Klrir.
Tlio rains of the past few days are
bringing the waters of up percepti
bly. Hleainboating can now bo fol
lowed with less dlulculty. It will
also be a boom to the sawmill men
as there are about .1.000.000 feet of
logs along the banks of the Luokia
nuite hi Polk and lteutoii counties,
waiting for a good hard rain to llout
them down to the Salem mills
The saw mill hero It Is expected will
atari up before many weeks, as they
are only waiting for the logs to
comedown, lfthorivor continues
rising logs will come down in
abundance.
A news item in a lato number of
News the Journal spoke of tho existence
of immorality iu Alaska. Yester
day evening it was the pleasure of
an attache of this paper to meet a
Marion countv pedagogue who has
spent a portion of his life in Undo
Sam's more northern and western
possessions. He says that twenty-two
years ago himself and
a friend strayed Into that region,
and wintered with tho natives in a
coast hamlet, near tho mouth of
Cook's Bay, and at the base of the
Alaska peninsula. The people, he
said, were strictly honest, a theft
never having been perpetrated by
man, woman nor child in all their
sojourn. "They were extremely so
ciable," he said, "and the best na
tured people I ever met. I never
saw one of them out of temper; any
mishap or joke was greeted, with
laughter or patience, Instead of with
the profanity and abuse of civilized
people. Thoir conjugal relations
were very nappy aud void of all
quarreling aud wrangling, although
their notions ot the marital relation
were rather peculiar, inasmuch as
they frequently exchange wives,
and when a stranger or guest was
entertained, their hospitality inclu
ded a female offering along with
victuals, dnuk and shelter. This
promiscuous disposition," he contm
tinued, "no doubt has proved too
ftrong a temptation to the civilized
clergy, and they by immoral license
have changed an innocent custom
into debauchery. Before tho con
tamination of whites they were,
without a doubt, amouir tho most
moral people on earth."
Vacant Uuverunient Lands.
No vacant lands are found in the
Willamette valley proper, but thero
are some along the foothills on
either side, and on the western slope
of tho Coast range. In the counties
of Clatsop and Columbia tho vacant
Ian ds are found back from tho Co
lumbia river from ono to five miles.
All lauds along the Nehaloiu river
are entered from half a mile or two
miles back. These lands are, or
have been, covered with a heavy
growth of timber.
Flat as a I'lounOer.
Only those who aro forced to dis
pose of their Irish oranges are ofl'er
ing them for sale Potatoes are sell
ing iu Salem lower than at any time
for many years. In fact tho market
is completely demoralized. At the
Graut mill hundreds of bushels aro
being bought and 'shipped to San
Francisco. They bring from only
nlno to twelve cents per bushel. Tho
retail market isallttlo better. There
they sell at iruin twenty to twenty,
llvo cents.
VALLEY CROP PROSPECTS.
Reports Prom Various Parts of the
Valley aro Flattering.
The Woolta Mill.
Thomas Kay, who will build
woolen mills In Salem, is iu the
city, lie arrived this morning and
this afternoon he will confer with
tho executive committee, at which
time tho final agreement between
the subscribers and the builder will
be consummated, lie Is to leave
Immediately for London, where he
will purchase machinery for tliu
mills.
With a view of learning some-
thimr concerning tho prospects of
tho grain and fruit crop in various
parts of the valley, a Jouknaij re
porter interviewed several gentle
men from different localities.
Not the usual amount ot rain had
fallen up to the present week, and
none would bo needed to Insure a
crop. Farmers, however, are not
apprehensive oyer tho matter, feel
ingcertain that during thisaud next
months there will be a largo addi
tion to the rainfall. Tho precipita
tion of this week has been consider
able. From Linn county it was learned
from a gentleman who lives near
Lebanon that the fall wheat looks
unusually well and a fine crop is ex
pected. Many of the farmers have
their spring crop sown and have
been longing for tho rain of the past
few days.
On tho route between McCoy and
Salem the grain looks well, the
wheat fields being in a good condi
tion. About Zeua tho prospect is
particularly encouraging. The rain
is bringing things forward in good
style.
Along the Salem and Silverton
route the farmers would be glad to
see a few weeks of steady rain, but
tho grain is doing well and there
will be a big yield should not an
other drop of water fall. The acre
age is large and the farmers have no
precedontto be other than confident.
From tho Independence route
word is that the grain is in the
same good condition, with prospects
qf an immense yield. The dry
weather caused a few farmers to
wear long faces but the gentle Ore
gon mists have succeeded In weav
ing those faces into smiles.
Along the Dallas route nothing
but good cheer is heard. Grain
promises well and thero is juo fear
among any that a full crop will not
be harvested. Tho fields are green
aud beautiful.
' Those who have examined the
fruit trees tell us tho prospect for a
heavy crop of apples, prunes, plums,
cherries and peaches, aro as good as
were ever seen. Tho truth is, all
varieties of fruit trees are ready to
burst forth in full bloom. Oregon
does not know what a failure of
crops is. This year will be no exception.
LOCAL SUMMARY.
Anitkir Train Dally.
Manager It. Koohler of the
Southern Pacific passed through
Roseburg tho other day and told
the Herald that the company had
no idea of extending the Eugene ex
press any further south than Hint
city, but that they were seriously
considering the matter of placing
another train on tho road to run the
entire distance between Portland
aud San Francisco, and which
would pass through Roseburg in the
day time.

A party of six from Brudshaw,

The fight Kcnewcd.
Tho Dallas folks aro circulating a
petition praying for n new court
house. The Independence folks are
circulating a remonstrance. Thus
it will be seen this tight is renewed
with the vigor ot ancient days. It
would seem from actions that
the late unpleasantness is not over.
It also begins to look as though our
neighbors will have neither an un
disputed county seat nor a new
temple of justice. More's the pity.
