OLYMPIA, SATURDAY MORNING. OCT. 80, 1869.
OurSelf.

This number closes the ninth volume Of
the STANDARD. and we claim that it now
may lie assumed to be ON fair way to
manhood's estate, having passed about
five times the usual length of days accord
ell to "mu>hroom' newspapers in WASH
ington Territory. We have published a
newspaper long enough to demonstrate
that we can withstand the hate of amb-
t.ous rivals, and long enought to weaken
the hopes Of selfish dcmagoguc' who can
conceive Of no hi cher object of party
journal than to pander to the whimS and
capriccs designed for their own gloritica-
ton. With four competitors in the field,
our patronage, instead of diminishing, has
steadily increased. This is probably due,
in some measure, to the revival of trade
and the consequent prosperity of the past
few months, but not less to the fact that
we have cnlcavorcd to earn and deserve
the patronage of the public. The public
interest has been a paramount considcra
ton i'll these columns, as an inspection Of
our files will show. The development of
the Territory, and the setting forth of in
duccmcntS for emigration have been lead
ing objects, advocated from time to time,
for four years past, though late rivals have
assumed to claim all the credit therefor.
This feature of our paper We intend to
keep constantly in view.
We have but this promise to make: The
STANDARD shall keep pace with the pro-
grcss of the country When our patron
age iu~titics an increase in size, we will
enlarge and otherwise improve the paper.
But we must feel our way cautious y, as
we have in the past, assured that this is
the only safe road to continued success.
In conclusion, we request that our
friends throughout the Territory will lend
us their influence in extending the crcu-
lation of the paper. If they will but do
this, we WILL ere the lapse of many months,
be enabled to present them sheet in eve
ry way worthy of their patronage.

Observation-Disclosures Plummcr gave
one of his pleasing dramatic efforts in
Olympic Hall last Thursday evening, be-
fore a large and appreciative audience.
AS an ciocutionist, he ccrtainly stands at
the head of his profession, and as mimic
he is unrivalcd, andis equally successful in
the pathetic or the lulicrous. lie particu-
larly exccls in imitation of the " inebriated
gentleman" while in almost the same
breath he can adapt his visagc to the dole
full expression and assume the bark, from
the tombs' tones of a harl-shcll Baptist
preacher. Tonight Mr.. Plummer will as
sumo this role: and "play on harp of a
thousand strings as only Plummcr can
play. Go and hear him, by all means.
On Friday evening Mrs. Fanny Morgan
Phelps gave dramatic entertainment at
the Masonic Hail. Her reputation as a
versatile and lifc-likc actress is too well
known to require comment. She performs
again tonight at Tumwatcr, and on Mon
day leaves for Seattle and other points on
the Sound.

Walla Walla,

Judge Wychc has returned from attend
ing Court at Walla Wulla, and Lewiston,
I. r., and reports everything prosperous
East of the Mountains. There is large
addition to the population this Fall Of
Walla Walla city and Of the valley, and
property has materially advanced. Quite
a number of people are moving to that sec
ton from Oregon and Montana, and the
Eastern States have furnished number of
immi grants. The impression prevailing
that work will soon be commenced OH the
Northern Pacific Railroad and that the
road will pass through the valley. is help
ing that section of country. Montana and
Idaho have furnished market for the pro-
ducts of the valley. and wheat finds ready
sale for cash at from - to 80 cents Il
bushcl while, last season the farmers got
only Is to 80 cents, and much of that in
trade. The Judge gives it as his opinion
that in less than five years Walla Walla
county will contain not less than cnthous-
and people. The county is large and there
is some talk of forming a new county,
which will eventually be done though prob
ably not under two or three years. We
are glad to hear of the prosperity of our
old friend Newell, who is now publishing
tri-wcckly and is working hard and max
ing live and successful paper. We learn
that he will be down to this session with
out fail, and may be looked for every stage.
We learn that there was not great deal
of business, before the court at Walla Wal
la. and that Judge Kennedy enjoys the
good will of the people, and with expert
ence in the harness may be expected to do
good work. The people were expecting
a hard winter but the Fall grasses were
unusually fine and stock was fat and,would
get through the winter we'll. A great in
tcrcst is being taken in improving the
stock both of horses and cattle, and the
stock-rai>crs were going to good deal of
expense to bring fine stock in the valley
from abroad, and the grasses and climate
considered, it is safe to say that no part of
the coast will surpass the Walla Walla val
ley, as a stock raising country

No man can te a real bona fde farmer
without live stock, and farmers may be

up the fertility Of the land 10 make II pay IN
less the produce is chiefly consumed by the
live stock and converted into meat, milk,
wool, or animals for use by other people, as
payment to the farmer for his time and cap
ital, and Transmitted into manure as a reward
to the land, without which return no farm can
be kept in condition good enough to pay for
cultivation. This is the 6rst secret OF success

swers to send to market hay, straw. garden
stuff &c, but there are others which unfold
themselves in the course Of raising and feed

SO that no time may be lost in the growth Of
the young, and to house and feed 10 such a
manner as to carry On the improvement
wrought in summer through the Autumn,
Winter and Spring; after which the grand
secret is to breed and raise such animals only
as command the highest market price, which
is as easily done as to continue breeding an
unthriftY and Improbable race.

THE FARM

Farming IS q profession, not to say a
science. If any one doubts this statementlet
him leave his city home-for no one bred IN
the country will doubt it-and undertake TO
cultivate even garden Of halt an acre for the
summer. He will then 6ud that knowledge
is as essential to the right use Of the spade as
1.-THE pen, and there IS as great a difference
between the scientific farming Of Flanders,
where literally not weed is 10 be seen, and
that of many of our farmers, the wealth Of
whose soil is about equally divided between
fruits and weeds, as between the trade Of a
modern commercial city and the barter Of a
back-woods settlement It's true that sgri-
culture has been last 10 receive the impetus
Of modern science. It is true that many ag
riculturists are content 10 go on in the ways
Of their fathers. because experiments are
costly. But it is also true that they are uua-
bic to compete with those who understand
the use Of new instruments. methods, aud fer
tilizers. Agriculture Is also becoming in this
country popular recreation. Many gen
tleman IS conten; TO spend on his country
seat money which he makes in the counting
room. The practical farmer IS thus able to
get the benefit of experiments without paying
for them. This change IN agriculture, which
has converted it from drudgery TO an art. has
created demand for a corresponding litsra-
