OLYMPIA WASHINGTON TERRITORY FRIDAY FEBRUARY 2 1856

The present year has been a very pro-
ductive one in Oregon and Washington,
and the prices of food still keep up. Wheat
is from 81 90 to 81 so per bushel; Oats,
from so to 75c, per bushel; beef from to
&C. on footy sheep, by the flock, S. to Sc
per head; bacon, so to 35c per lb. A.; butter
80 to SOC. per b.; eggs, from 80 to 40 cents
per dozen; chickens from IS to Sc per doz-
en-; good American horses from 5000 to
S40O dollars each, and good cows from
$50 to $50.
There is no part Of the world where ami
mails attain greater perfection than they do
on this coast, and where they can be raised
with as little trouble and risk.
Labor of oil kinds keeps up. We have
paid fifty dollars per month, and found, for
surveying hands The farmers here pay
three dollars per day for harvest hands.
Pork can be made here, with less labor
feeding with wheat and peas, than with
corn in Illinois
The Chehalis country is now open for
settlement, as well as the country on Gray's
Harbor, and offers great advantages TO
those who desire to emigrate to this coast

FoRT HOPE, Jan. &c, 1852
Mr.. EDHoR--I propose to give you
few items for yonr paper, should you feel
disposed to make use of them. The first
thing which | Wish to speak particularly
about, is the Olympia -four. Being well
aware that the -four made at the Tumwater
mills is superior to any article brought to
this market, it pains me to see it classed as
q second and third rate article, and it brings
from two to four dollars per barrel less than
any other l think the damage has been
done by some rascally trader who had a bad
lot Of -four Oh hand from California, or some
other market, aud not being able to get rid
Of it, re-sacked it to initiate Olympia -four,
and sold it as such. "'ia
would advise our milers, first-to ap.
point agents in Victoria and Langley, or
Victoria alone, and let that agent appoint
sub-agents if he thought proper. Second
classify their -four into "hne," superfne,"
and family" and let them under no con
sideration, put the superfne brand on an
article only .fne," nor the family " brand
on that which is only superfne" They
can only regain a lost reputation by strict
attention to the foregoing or some better
plan. would not employ numerals in de-
signaling tho quality of the -four, because it
will have bad effect. They are losing
thousands Of dollars, the effect Of which will
be felt by many Of our citizens. The miller
has bis -four for sale, and looks TO this re.
gion for q market, but the returns are neither
prompt nor satisfactory, on account Of the
bad reputation Of his -four The farmer
cannot get as ready sale or good price for
his wheat merchants must either not sell
their goods at all, or sell them on time,
which is equally ruiHoHs. A word to the
wise is sufficient Great damage has been
done, and it will require great effort to-
remedy the evil.
Business is getting to be) pretty gccd
here. Miners are laying in their stocks and
going through the canyon in boats The
winter has been quite mild, except one n

Why don't Your take the Papers !?

BY GEO. 0. WALLIS.
Why don't yon take the papers?
They're the life of my delight;
Except about election time,
And then read for spite.
Subscribe-you cannot lose a cent
Why should you be be afraid?
For cash thus paid is money lent
On interest fourfold paid.
Go, then, and take the papers,
Aud pay to-day, nor pay delay,
And my word it is inferred,
You'll live till you are gray.
An old newspaper friend Of mine,
While dying of cough,
Desired to read the latest news,
While he was dying of.
took the paper, and read
OF some new pills in force
He bought box-and is he dead7
No-hearty as horse.
knew printers debtor once,
Racked with a scorching fever,
Who swore to pay her debt next day,
II her distress would leave her.
Next morning she was at her work,
Divcsted of her pain,
But did not forget to pay her debt,
Till taken down again.
"Here, Jessie, take these silver wheels,
And pay the printer now y
She slept, and slept, and then awoke,
With health upon her brow.
knew two men, as much alike
As ever you saw two stumps;
And phrenologist could find
A difference in their bumps.
One takes the papers, and his life
Is happier than kings;
His children all can read and write,
And talk of rlen and things.
The other took no paper, and
While strolling through the wood,
A tree fell down and broke his crown,
And killed him very good"
Had he been reading Of the news
At home, like neighbor Jim,
III bet cent that accident
Would not have happened him.
Why don't you take the papersf
Nor from the printer sneak,
Because you borrowed Of his boy
A paper every week.
For he who takes the paper.
And pays his bills when due,
Can live in peace with God and man,
And with the printer too.
But he who takes the paper,
And pays not when tits read,
Would sell his corn to buy horn
And live on borrowed bread.
