Fixing THE PRIoE OF GUILD DUsT.-lt
will Se seen from the report in another col
umn that the merchonts and business men
Of Umutilla have held meeting and fixed
the rates at which they will receive gold
dust in exchange for merchandise and in
other transactions A measure of this kind
will drive from circulation the mixed and
inferior article that has heretofore passed
current under the name of "BOise dust. "
Much of the dust that circulates in this mar
ket is actually worth from two or three dol>
lars less than the price at which it is re-
eeived To continue this system, particu'
larly after communities have declared against
it, is ouly to invite flood Of the inferior OF
ductored dust A proper system, rossibly
would be for the III erchantS to agree to re-
ceive gold dust only at its actual value. If an
Arrangement of this kind could be effected
there would no longer be any inducemeut to
the commission Of fraud, and business woulc
be conducted on Legitimate basis. Tn,
action of the Umalia merchants, doubtless
will lead to the adoption Of similar measure!
elsewhere, and possibly in the end, we shal
be relieved from the gpld dust nuisance

The MARKET. - McCrnken, Merrill & Co.'s
Commercial Circular, dated Portland, Novem-
Der &c, has the following in relation to the
wheat crop, which possesses interest for our
farmers and mill owners:
"There is no hope Of a demand for Flour mn
the Columbia, except To supply the local demand
of the Dalles aud Umltilia, rs wheat is to-tay
selling at less price in the Walla Walla Val.
ley than in the Willamette. In view Of these
facts, we find nothing 10 encourage the belief
now and next harvest. Our local mills are Of
fering IS cents delivered ut the mill for lots suf
hcient for their Immediate wants, but do not
manifest desire to lay in large stocks at that
6gure''
The circular has the following in relation to
the pork crop:
Large quantities Of bacon will be cut mn in
the Valleys Of the Columbia, enough to supply
the early Spring trade Of the mining country. if
not for the entire season. The future is not
very promising for this article, and we fear thai
smother season, we shall have to depend almost
entirely upon the California market"
The above extracts go to show that our vii.
lAmette Valley friends realize that they have
lost the control of the provision trade east Of
the Mountains. Henceforlh they will have to
seek some other market for their surplus pro-
ducts, leaving to our own producers the busi,
ness Of supplying the mining trade.

CoUaTY ExPESDITUREs.-It is due the present
Board of County Commissioners to say that they
exhibit commendable economy 10 the manage
nent Of the county affairs. In former years
heavy expenditures have been incurred from the
care Of PauPers. For the fiscal year commenc-
ing with June last, not a dollar has been ex-
pended on this score, and what is still more cred
liable, there has not been single person that
properly could be made a county charge. We
doubt that there is another county on the Pa
cihc coast that can boast such an exemption from
pnuperism. In former years from FIVE to six
thousand dollars was expended for the care OF
the county poor. This year this leak is entirely
stopped. Should there be no unexpected call
upon the treasury, the Board calculate that they
will be able to reduce the county Indebtedness
some So, 900 this year. This is much better
showing than an increase Of the debt. For sew.
sral years to come, the most rigid economy
sho uld be practiced 10 the management of the
county finances. A new Court House is almost
a necessity, and yet with the present deb: hang>
ing over US, tax payers will never vote the tax
required for this purpose. With proper econ.
omy, and q continuance of the system now in
practice, the county will be fully able to make
all necessary Improvements, and that too, with
out burdening the people. An unnecessary eI-
Pense for the last year has been The holding OF
three terms of the District Court which has
involved the county in heavy and altogether
useless outlay. We understand that the mem
berS Of the Legislature from this cOunly will
introduce bill restricting the District Court to
two terms per annum. This will be amply suti-
eisut to meet the ends Of justice and will lOp Of
large item Of county expenditure. Manage
our affairs as We may, our expenses are sure to
be high. and hence it is that all persons in any
way connected With the control Of the county
finances should feel iG a duty to practice rigid
economy. IL.

BIG BEND MINES Mr.. Oppenheimer,
just down from Colvile, furnishes US the
following in relation to the Big Bend mines.
The last season has been particularly unfa-
~er-hln m mining operations, and honOo ro>
suits are less favorable than was expected.
On French Creek, which is regarded as the
richest locality yet struck, it is estimated that
100000 was taken out in the course of the
summer. McCullough's Greek, It is thought
Welded an equal amount Mining was car
ried on in a nu nter of other creeks, but
with what results is not known. 1t is fair
to estimate the total yield of the mines for
the season just closed at s25O,O0O. From
eighty to ninety persons will winter at Big
Bend. Many Of these ure confident that
with another and more favorable season,
these mines will show large yie'd of gold
Messrs Ferguson & Co. have a large stock
of goods in the miues The Hudson Bay
Company also have a trading post at Big
BEND, and do considerable trading with
the miners. In summing up, it is fair to
say that the Big Bend country has By no
means realized expectations, aud yet the
'Prospects" obtained, warrant the belief
that the mines will yet rank among the most
productive in the Northern country.

Ma. EpiroR.--Numerous comments and lengthy
articles Of opin on concerning the MullAh Road

Cd and do still appear in many papers through>
out ths. coast yet all arguments and delioe-
4s,ious o. single individuals, companies and
,,bols eammunities have so far failed to accom-
pIish anything in the way of improvement on

will never be a good, serviceable and lasting
wagon road, unless some enterprising party will
anplv for charter to our Legislature, as we'll as
10 those Of Idaho and Montana and am of
opiaiou. that a charter for a Toll Road would be
gladly granted, whenever properly and timely ap-
piled for Congress may appropriate S5O,OOO, and
the people of the Territories and States may do
rkavise The road with that amount could
certainly be improved to rival any mountain
road in the country, but it will take twenty men
to do il and a whole summers then just at the
time when it would open its gates for teams
aud wagons to pass, winter will set in and close
Them arain, the same as the Linkton Road has
been closed. in spite of the eKertions of the
peopIe and especially of the Stage Company.
The Mullau Road will suEer TIE same fate as tn e
Linkton Road, unless the security of the road is
placed in charge of Company or private ind-
viduals aud a moderate toll be charged aud
then and not until then, will We have good,

FRoN THE KooTESAI MISEs.-Mr. Galbreath,
an extensive operator 10 the KoOtenai country
is jdst dowh for the winter and furnishes us
many interesting facts ID relation to the mines.
The report that the country has been given up
to the Chinamen, is altogether incorrect. The
mOon-eyed Celestials are only allowed to work
claims that have been abandoned BY white men.
For these worked out claims John has paid a
liberal price, and on these terms the miners
have allowed the rice eaters to "come in" Thus
far they have been exclusively employed in
working over dirt that had been worked by
white men. The york on the "big shaft Of
which mention has already been made, was be-
ing continued, and the owners are satisfied that
they have "big thing Several other erten,
siye operations are going on, and the promise
is, that with another year Kootenai will show a
larger gold yield than ever. The development
Of these mines is a matter 10 which our people
are largely interested. Their location is such
that it is almost impossible to Introduce sup.
plies from the British Columbia side, and as a
consequence, walla walA is called upon to fur
nsh the breadstufs and bacon required for the
kootend trade. At the time Mr.. Galbreath
left the mines walla Walla -four was worth $40
per barrel, and scarce at that. Parties who
packed -four out there late in the season, had a
"good thing" and the only regret on the part
Of the miners was that greater number Of
packers did not come that way. We learn that
several pack trains that started for Kootenai
were induced to seek anothef market, owing 10
representations that the KOOtsuai country was
OverstOcked. These statements were made BY
Interested parties who had supplies in the mines
and desired to mouOpOliEs the trade Owing
10 these misrepreIentations, -four will rule this
winter at from $40 to $50. instead Of $75 or
$50, at which figure it would pay packers we'll
to pack it in. As it is, the miners will be cons

CoSoREssIOSAL HoSORS.-The Vancouver Reg
later gives a list of persons who are willing to
represent Washington Territory in Congress.
Hon. A. A. Denny iI named as a strong man on
the republican side. MeSSrS. Frank Clark and
". W. Miller are spoken Of as prominent with
those who support the Administration. It is uu-
fortunate that the Register is unable to see any
thing outside Of the Sound country. Here at
WAllG WallA we have at least a score of persons
who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the
benefit Of the dear people" Not to 60 any fur
thSr, there is Judge Wychs, who certainly can
be induced to exchange the judicial ermlnO for
the Senatorial tOgs. Then again, our diStin-
EuiShsd fellow citizen, Anderson Cox, like an
other Cineinnatus VIII leave nls PIoW at the call
Of his couD.ry. These two gentlemen represent
ths radical side Of the question. or those who
support the PrsIideut, We hear named MeSsrs
J.H. LsIHtSr, ?. P. DugAn, W, C, Langford, and
s. D. Smith, either Of whom could be pursuaded
to accept 4 seat in Congress, and each and all Of
them we'll qualified to grace the position. We
know that it has been customary heretofore fol
the counties west Of the Mountains to fI uI
those matters to suit themselves, and leave Wall
Ia WAllA out in the cold. Should either or bott
the coming Conventions undertake to ignOr,
the claims Of this Valley, something like a "cri
IiI" msy be calculated upon. Since the organ
iIAtOn OF parties, as at present existing, the re
publieans have never conceded the Congress
man to this part Of the Territory, HHd the demo
eats on but one occasion gave the nomination 4
TO resident Of this Valley. This system Of grab
binE at good thing is played out, and in futur,
1t may a. we'll be und'rItOod by both parties
that the cOutry east OF the Mountains will CLAIM
