UPPER CoLUMBIA.-A correspondent
of the Orcgonian, writing from the
Dalles, gives rather discourasing ac-
count of the present prospects Of that
once lively little village. He says the
mining trade has almost left the Colum-
bia, and the Dalles will hereafter have
to depend upon its own natural resources
for prosperity. Real estate has gone
down fifty per cent in the last three years,
and half the houses on the principal streets
are tenantless. The U. S. Mint, build
ing at Dalles, is fast approaching COM
pletion, the basement walls being compile
ted and the brick work progressing. The
Albany brick machine, (the Excelsior) is
spoken of as doing good work. The
fruit prospects are spoken of as excellent,
and large crop is expected. A young
German had "struck" an oil spring near
town, which was expected to yield large
ly when the "warm spell' set in. The
amount of freight and travel either ur
or down the Columbia river, is very
light, and discouraging to steamboat
men,

question submitted by the Board of Bro

taxed as such and sell on commission,

pany intend to commence work on their
road Immediately, according to the asser-
tion of the Detroit Post. The same pa
per says it is enabled TO state, upon good
authority, that Messrs. J. Cooke, J.
Edgar Thompson and Thomas Scott,
proprietors of the Mississippi and Lake
Superior (better known as the st. Paul
and Lake Superior) Railroad, recently
had a protracted conference with the
President, W. L. Banning, the result of
which is instructions have been given to
push forward the construction of the
Northern Pacific Railway. and that in
compliance with these instructions the
work will be commenced as soon as the
spring opens. It is estimated that S10,-
100000 will be required to put the road
through to the Red river of the north,
and to obtain this amount the stock will
be divided into 200 shares, or such num-
Der as will enlist it. This much of the
work accomplished, they will then conf
IDENTIFY appeal to the Government for aid
to carry the road beyond the Rocky
Mountains. The work will be commenced
at the head of Lake Superior, in accord
ance with the terms Of the charter. The
gentlemen who have determined to take
the initiative step in this great enterprise
are not the men to rush blindly into SO
great work, nor are they the men to
fail in any undertaking. They have
made themselves thoroughly acquainted
with the character of the country on the
line of this great thoroughfare, and are
fully satisfied with the prospects. Oh

says:
The line extends through one of the
most wonderful regions in the world. Its
fertile soil, vast mineral wealth, beautiful
climate, and the character of the termini,
all tend to prove unmistably that the
route is one that has been marked out by
nature herself. In the first place it is
several hundred miles shorter from lake
to ocean than the Central Pacific. 1t
encounters no mountain passes over 900
feet in height, while on the other route
there are no fewer than eight or nine
passes of over 1000 feet. Instead oi
running, like the Central Pacific, through
long stretches of barren country, which
can furnish no traffic to road, there il
no section through which it passes which
is not remarkable either for the fertility
of its soil or its mineral wealth. Its ad
vantages with regard to climate influences
are still more remarkable. From the
Red river valley to the Pacific, its course
lies wholly within the isothermal regior

Farmers Can Ride and PlOW,
BY SECURING ONE OF THE
GAY" PLOWS S.
Manufactured and sold for the very low price of
$65 and $15.

TVVHE simplicity and practcability of this new
u Plow commends it favorably to the special
notice of every farmer. It possesses decided
superiority over all other plows now in use. Tho
wheels four feet in diameter, and run on the
unplowad land. Its entire construction is in no
way complicated. The plow is managed in every
manner with ease, and requires only two levers
to be used in making any alteration. The supe-
riority of the Cay Piow will be clearly shown
by the following certificate
We, the undersigned, citizens of Linn county,
Oregon, having purchased and used upon our
farms the "Gay" Plow, hereby certify that the
same has given US entire satisfaction. Its facility
for adjusting to suit the depth Of furrow without
moving from the seat, is simple and easy. We
like the plow for its draught because the Same is
brought to bear directly upon the plow-beam in
stead of the carriage; also, because it is strong
and durable, oil except the woodwork being con-
structed of wrought iron-no ca tings used.
The wheels running upon the solid land is an ad-
vantage over other gang plows, in striking OF
land and in plowing, not having to make the nee
essary changes IN the machinery, and the seat il
always level, tar wing tho driver forward or
sideways as in other plows. Better work and
moro of it can be accomplished by the use of this
PIow than by hand.
We take pleasure in recommending the "GAY's
PLow to our brother farmers, as one having NO
superior in Oregon.
