The Willamette, Great Mogul, Pacific, Golden

thirty miles long. At Rocky Bar, Owyhee and
Idaho but little produce be raised and as these
are all growing Places it is impossible to over
stock the market. Small fruits aud grapes do
well here, also, apples and pears; but peaches,
and the more tender fruits, blossoming before the
foliage is matured, are apt to be cut off by late
frosts.
The Governor is very popular, and on Christ
mas, at the School Christmas Tree, made an ex-

Saturday next, his Excellency again gives lee

very pleasant evening.
The Legislature granted charter for a tele-
graph, and another for a railway from the head
of navigation on the Columbia. The distance is
about 300 miles, and as Holiday Halsey, Ladd

be put through. The telegraph, in contempIa-

TRAIN OWNERS AND TsAINs IN A PREcA-
RIoUs SITUATIoN.-From a statement ia
our Helena items, and information derived
from other sources, we feel apprehensivs of
the fate Of men and stock between Helena
and Pen d 0reille Lake. It was rumored
two weeks ago that pack animals in the
vicinity of the Lake, were perishing in great
numbers from want of feed and extreme
cold combined Many trains left Lewiston
and WaiA Walla between six weeks and two
months ago loaded for Blackfoot City and
Helena, which have not yet arrived at their
destination. To be out in the mountains,
unsheltered, with the thermometer raging
from zero to thirty degrees below, is certain,
ly TO endure great suffering, if not to take
desperate chances between life and death. In
painful suspense, We are prepared at any
minute to hear Of loss Of limbs, and perhaps
lives, among these bold and enterprisibg
freighteu.-C AoRtGnd Post, Dec. 30h.

TIE MONTANA TRADE. 1t will be seen from
the notice elsewhere that our Lewiston friends
are preparing to enter upon n vigorous contest
for the trade Of Montana. They have organized
company and provided the means to open a
Pack-trai through to Bitter Root Valley, from
which point roads are open to the various min
ing districts. Their enterprise in thus boldly
grasping at the rieh-trade of Montana is emf
nently creditable, and as such we commend it
to the imitation of the people Of Waila Walla.
II is in Montana that we look for market for
our surplus breadstufs, bacon, &C, aud hence
it is Of the first importance that we should be
placed in easy and direct communication with
the mines. Thanks to the liberalty of the Gov
ernment, we have road already opened, and
all that is Necessary for us to dois to raise the
funds required to place the road in good repair.
In this regard We may we'll take lesson from
the enterprise of our Lewiston friends. To open
the Mu!lan Road will involve an estimated e1-
penditure of SlO,OOO-a mere bagatelIe as COM
pared with the immense advantages that are sure
TO follow.

THE CANYON CITY MURDERER-In our issue
of last week we noticed the arrest of man
named Michael Il. Lewis, charged with the crime
of murder. From Major NJ. P. Berry, Sheriff of
Grant county, we leaCQ that the murder was ac-
cOmpanied by circumstances of peculiar atroc-
ity. The deceased had befriended Lewis in VA
rious ways, and in fact had placed him in po-
sition where he was making money rapidly, hav-
ing given him half interest in valuable min
ing claim. On a slight provocation Lewis threat
ened to kill his benefactor but even this was
regarded as idle boast. True to his word, how
ever, Lewis laid in wait for his victim, and as
he come out of the drift" whee-bartow in
hand, he waylaid him and shot him down like a
dog. The bloody deed accomplished, he then
cOolly arrangedsto make way with the evidences
drift" and there buried, the ground being
carefully smoothed over so as to remove all in-
dications of the presence of body. Even
when found it was supposed that Peevie had
come to his death by an accidental cave in the
mine, and it was only when the body was brought
out to open day that it was discovered that he
had been shot through and through. Search
was Immediately made for the murderer, but he
had succeeded in making his escape. Like all
villains, however, he finally set the trap that
led to the discovery Of his whereabouts. EARLY
in December last he wrote letter to an acquain-
tance living in Grant county, in which be dis
closed the fact that he was at Walla Wala,
where he passed under an assumed name
Armed with this letter, Sheriff Berry visited
our town, and after a search of little NOR. than
week, he succeeded in capturing his prisoner.
Since his arrest Lewis maintains an air Of iudif-
ference, buOyed up with the hope that in some
way he will make his escape. lie even says that
it was his intention to have gone back to Can
you City in the Spring, and give himself up for
trial, his only reason for making his escape be-
ing unwillingness to pass the Winter in Jail. We
learn that great excitement prevails in Grant
county in relation to the murder, and that on
his return it is feared that an attempt will be
made to execute summary justice. In view of
the fact that the people of Oregon have an ex-
cellent judiciary in full operation, it would seem
that there can be no justification for the people
taking the law in their own hands. Sheriff
Berry will take all proper precautions for the
Ssfety of bis prisoner, and should the attempt
be made it is scarcely possible that the populace
will succeed iu getting him out Of the Sherif's
hands.

EARLY YEGETABLEs.-Now that Spring will
soon be upon us, we have to repeat a suggestion
made some time since, that our farmers prepare
themselves to supply the Portland market with
early vegetables. Our season is from i've to six
weeks earlier than that of the Willamette, and
for this space Of time we can make our Portland
friends dependent upon us for their supplies of
early vegetables. Hitherto they have mainly de-
pended upon California for their supplies of this
description, but owing to the rregularity of the
steamers, and the length of the sea voyage, it
has been rare indeed that the shipments reached
there in good condition. In this regard the far
nsrS Of WallA Walla Valley have greatly the ad-
vantage, and one they should not fail to improve.
With a view of developing the resources of the
country, the 0. S. n Company will arrange to
take vegetables shipped for the lower country
At the mere cost of handliDg-S7 per ton. At
this figure, it will pay to ship early vegetables
70 the Portland market, and it will speak little
for the enterprise of our producing classes if
they fail to avail themselves Of the opportunity

A DEFAULTER.-The community was stlr>
tied Tuesday evening on the arrival Of the
Idaho stage to learn that Alfred SlOcuui,
Treasurer Of Boise county, was found to be
defaulter absolutely on the Territorial fund
to the amount of eight thousand dollars.
The exact amount is said to be 1881.
Ben Anderson, SergeantHat Arms 'ot the
Council, was sent BY joint resolution of both
houses just before the adjournment to bring
Slocum and the funds down to the Capital.
An investigation into his affairs discovered
the fact that although two relief bills had
cut down the amount necessary for him TO
raise by twenty one thousand dollars. he was
still delinquent the paltry balance. The
cause assigned is investment in mining stocks,
principally the ledge aud mill known as the
q" Elkhorn," above Pioneer. What the en-
tire deficit will prove to be is Of course yet
unknown. The above figures only show the
amount due to the Territory after deducting
81 500 on the Cruteher relief bill, and So.
900 on the Boise county relief bill, neither
Of which are entirely settled. Slocum was ar.

PRESIDENT JOHNsoN.-To judge from present
indications, President Johnson is likely to hsr-
monte all parties and bring about restoration
Of the good feeling which characterized honroes 8
administration. Although not the man Of their
choice, the democrats with rare unanimity en-
dorSe the Presidents reconstruction policy, as
also the leading measures of his administration.
The republicans, with the exception of a few
crazy fanatics, unite in sustaining the President
and thus for the first time in half century the
country is thoroughly united iu support of the
leading measures of the Government. 1t is we'll
that this condition of offairs should obtain. AZ
ter the terrible convulsonJ Of the past four
years the country requires repose, in order
that the energies Of the people may be directed
toward healing the breaches made by civil war.
To this end it is the duty of every true lover of
his country to cultivate spirit of conciliation,
and contribute in all suitable ways toward re-
storing the Union in all its integrity. To this
work President Johnson has consecrsted his best
energies, aud as such he is deserving of the ap-
proving voice of all those who value country
above party. z
