Rich MEy's SoNs.-Hcnry Ward Beecher, in
sermon at Plymouth church last Sunday
evening, produced the following picture of rich
mems sons
d. Men seem ashamed Of labor, and often, often
you shall find men have made themselves re-
spectacle in labor, have built up a bus ness and
aipassed a fortune, who turn to their sons and
say: "You shall never do as ] did; you shall
lead a different life; You shall be spared ali
this" Oh, these rich mems sonsl They aim IN
lead life of elegant leisure; and it is life of
emasculated idlcness and laziness. Like the
poiyp that foats useless and nasty upon the
sea, all jelly, all flabby, no muscle, no boneHIt
shuts and opens, and opens and shuts and
sucks IN and squirts out again, of no earthly
account influence OF use. Such are these poor
Tools. Their parents toiled and grew strong
built up their frames of iron and of bone; uf
denying all this to their sons, they turn them
upon the world boneless, muscleless, simple
grlstle, and soft at that. What if YOU do GET
your time reduced to eight hours, and wages In
creased to 50, does that educate you?

MARKET HALL-Oh City Hall, or Market
Haa, asit is now called, has been entirely rem
ovated and turned into offices for the several
Departments of the City Government, and they
will all be occupied in day or two-some of
them to-day. This will be the headquarters of
the city officials until the City Government
building is completed.
On the Congress street side of Market Hall
the first room is for the Mayor and City Clerk.
Here will be held the meetings OF the Board of
Mayor and Aldermen. The next room is fitted
up for the Board of Common Council, and the
two rooms are connected by door. Beyond
the Common Council room is an office for the
Board of Engineers of the Fire Department,
and still beyond that is another small room
which is not appropriated.
On the Middle street side of the Hall, the
first room is for the Treasurer and Collector
and City Auditor. The next one is for the As
SCISSORS. The third one is for the City Messen-
ger and the Truant Officer. The fourth one is
for the Civil Engineer. e s.....
By thus improving the old Hall the city saves
$25oe per year rent, which they have paid for
the use of Mechanics Hall. After these offices
are vacated by the city officials they will COM
mand good rent, as they are in such promi-
nent central position in the city.

Letter From Helena City.

HELENA, May %, 1866.
Ed. STATEsNAN:-Ihving finally arrived at this
City, will communicate to you such matters as
may be interesting to your readers and first,
there are few, if any, who came up here from
Walla Walla with goods, who would not rather
sell out in the city of Portland, or Walla Walla,
than here. Wherever cast my eyes l notice
disappointed Walla Wallans, and to explain to
you the cause of all this, l will simply give you
list of prices of such articles as were brought
from that section of the country.
Salt Lake flour, $l2, 90; Walla Walla, Sl5;
bacon, so cents; sugar, 40 cents; tea, 81 80; to-
baceo, natural leaf light pressed, 81 per lb,
peach brand, $3.50. Liquors, good quality,
SO, 10 and IL per gallon. Wines, Sls per case
These are wholesale prices, provided you want
to buy; but offer to sell aud they will have
enough on hand till the boats come up, when
the merchants here intend to purchase at a low
figure and pay in greenbacks at par. They will
inform you, when you ask them to buy, that 3
boats are already at Fort Benton, and 10 more
on the way up loaded down with from 200 TO
800 tons each; and then they can get their goods
at St. Louis prices with 10 cents freight on, in
stead of paying Walla Walla prices and 30 or 40
cents freight. This, no doubt, is even so, and l
hope that freghters will take all this into con-
sderation before starting for Montana unless
they get their goods for nothing and wish to pay
for being permitted to freight.
Charles Abel, Lew. Schwabacher, and others
turned their attention to Elk creek, About' 20
miles from here, where great excitement pre-
vailed. All along the road it was reported that
gold bad been found there. Some of the "pil-
grims' (Mormons) even had it that it prospected
there 10 cents to the pan on the top of the snow.
They wept, of course, and so did many FROM
Walla Walla, Virginia City, Los Angeles and
other places. Bot Mr.. Adams here received in.
formation that goods of all kinds are cheaper
there than in Helena. The mines there are good;
but very deep, aud the market overstocked with
goods Of all kinds. The high prices last winter
indueeI many, from every direction, to bring in
goods, but those times have passed and will;
perhaps, never occur again.
Laoorers who intend coming up here TO work

for wages, viii do better to try Placerville, PIo
neer city, Idaho city or any of these places hrst'
and if they can get from four to FIVE dollars per
day, they had better stay and work in preference
to travelling over hard road all Summer and
running the risk of getting no employment at all.
If one man here happens to "strike it" you may
be sure to hear about it all over the country
while ten men out of employment and out OF
money pass unobserved.
Legal Tenders are taken everywhere in this
country at 90 cents and often at their face value
The McIrwin theatrical troupe are performing
here and doing we'll The building used is a

for long while.
Helena, as a whole, is not the place imagined
it to be. There are some good buildings and
some good business houses here, but the town
proper, is an irregular up-and-down concern
full of people and distractions. would rather
cross the Blue mountains with an ox-team than
travel here with a one-horse buggy through the
streets of this place. In fact, in some places it
is impossible to proceed at ALL All the bridges
OF the Jefferson and Beaver Head rivers have
washed away, andFteams are kept out from this
section perhaps for weeks to come. The waters
have been higher this Spring than they were
ever known to be before.

not yet arrived.

A0RICULTURAL SOCIETY.


We note with pleasure that the County
Commissioners have taken tbs initiatory step
toward forming a County Agricultural So
cicty, and that day has been named for
holding meeting and securing the neces-
sary preliminary organization. We trust
that the farmers Of the Valley will take hold
of this suggestion in earnest, and that an
organization will be effected in time to hold
the first Walla Waila Annual Fair, say early
in the month of September next. Our un-
rivalled agricultural advantages and the i'm
mense progress already made in agricultural
affairs warrants the belief that we can get
up Valley Fair, that certainly will compare.
favorably with other exhibitions OF the kind
given in Oregon. Wherever they have been
tried, Fairs have been found to beget spirit

the general improvement. The wealthiest
agricultural counties in the Eastern States
are those in which the greatest interest is
taken in County and State Fairs; and so too,
where these are neglected, the people are
found behind the age, and agriculture in no
better condition than it was forty or fifty
years since Let an Agricultural Society be
established, and manufacturers and produ-
GERS from other sections will be induced to
send here for exhibitions their choicest pro-
ductions, and thus our own producers will
have an opportunity of seeing what is being
done elsewhere, and by means of comparison
be enabled to ascertain wherein they are de-
afcient 1t is upon the agricultural rescur-
ces of our Valley that we base all our hopes
of future prosperity, and bearing this fact in
mind, not only the farmers, but men ems
gagged in all the various pursuits, whether
mercantile or mechanical, Should feel it
dutyto lend helping hand and aid in or
ganizing the Society and raising the funds
TO pay the expenses of the Annual Fairs.
Money thus expended will be like "casting

many days. WascO County, Oregon, with
scarcely sufficient farming land to make a
respectable potato patch, has her AgricultuN

eminensly creditable to the enterprise and
energy of our neighbors. Here we have ev-

stances thus propitious, it should De our am-

the epoch is not ended, and that we have NOT

is this. Let Congress plainly announce its

Ed. STATESMAN The old Columbia is again

ing the benefit of "hu chuck" Had the warm
weather of June lst continued we would rn-
doubtediy had higher water in the Columbia
this season than ever was known before. As it
was, it reached within abopt~two feet three
iuchesi on the 9Th of June, of its highest point
on the 22d June 1862; but cold weather set in,
and the water was forced to recede some four
feet. Now it bids fair to reach Its old mark,
notwithstanding it is rather late.
