and Navy Union on Tuesday evening it was
voted to take Browns Hall for their future
headquarters. The room now occupied by the
Union will be retained for an armory and read
ing room. The partial report of the lecture
course committee, showed that handsome
sum will be realized from the course of the
past season. One of the most pleasing Incl
dents of the evening was a presentation to the
chairman of the lecture and concert commit
tee. The complimentary lecture to the patrons
of the p. A. & N. course will be given on
Wednesday evening, March 9th. Browns
Hall will hereafter be known as "Army & Ma

WATER.-lt seems to be absolutely neces-
sary for water takers to avoid a wanton waste
of water. Persons living on the lower levels of
the city have already, by useless waste of water,
deprived those living in the higher parts of the
city, entirely of water. This is q serious wrong
perpetrated by one portion of our citizens on.
another portion. In order to prevent this
waste the company ought to compel those who
waste water to pay for the water. All the
northern cities have been compelled not only
to stop waste, but in many of them, they have
been compelled to cut of many Of the station
airy engines entirely. So far Portland has had
less reason to complain than any other north
ern city and there could have been no lack Of
supply to all, but for the wicked and selfish
waste by few.

ter company in this mornings paper.

before investing oil our fortunes in 90 hazardous .
speculation, recommend TO each and every one
Of the members of the Society to secure for their

that in of failure in the Ditch arrangement

Eight Reasons why tho Buckeye Sew

B. 1t has no small springs and compound
cranks.
4. 1t is better adapted to large range of work
S. It has less pieces of machinery.
6. It is less liable to break needles than any
other machine.
z. The Shuttle will wear longer than the
shuttle in any other machine.
8. That 1t has the best Feeding device, which
will never wear out, get out of order, break nee-
dies, feed uneveniy, slip on starched goods, or
will come out shorter than the other, which all
other feeds liable to do. 1t makes every
stitch of an equal length. It is stronger than
other feeds. We can take strong piece OF clotn
and put one end in machine and the other
end in any other machine, and guarantee that our
machine will take the cloth from the other, IN con-
sequence of the superior strength OF the feed.
1t is the only feed strong enough TO feed tnich

Snake river, Or, May 20, 1871.
Ed. REGISTER Our party arrived
here yesterday, and set the last post ON
the road lis 448a miles from Albany.
The Malheur river runs into Snake
river quarter of mile above this
point.
From the mountains on the head waters
ofthe Malheur we found an easy pass
down Cottonwood into Hale's Valley, and
with little difficulty passed from this into
the open country
There is much good land on this part
of tho road that would have been taken
long ago but for the hostility of the
Indians. We saw many Of them, but
we're unmolested.
It is raining today, and we have had
several showers within the past three
weeks. The people say, however, that
there has been less rain during the season
than is usual here.
We viii complete the road IS We go
back, SO that by the 4th Of July Wagons
can pass over the entire distance. ~
