The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1872-02-23

SUPPLIES FROM CALIFoRNIA.-An
examination of the family grocery
stores of this city show that all of the
vegetables now being used in this mar
ket are supplied by California. Among
them we note onions, oniorNsets, cauli-
flowers, celery, turnips, carrots, cab
bages, potatoes, etc. This Is u bad
commentary upon the industry and en-
terprise of our Oregon farmers, and is
u state of facts that should not exist
With rich soil, never-failing seasons,
and a climate peculiarly adapted to the
production of all kind of esculents, it
is indeed humiliating to be compelled
to depend for supplies upon a State
far less capable of producing them.
Thousands of dollars are yearly taken
away from our local circulating me-
dunn by this state of affairs, and the
reputation of our State and its resources
suffer thousands ofdollars more because
OF our negligence i'm this matter. 1t is
to be hoped that our farmers and pro-
ducers will view this matter in its prop
er light and no longer permit the exis-
tence of such n damaging state of af-
fairs. Another season should see our
home markets abundantly supplied by
our home products and even u liberal
surplus for export. If each individual
producer will perform his share Of duty
in the matter, California's occupation
rs q producer of 0regon's vegetable
supplies will be forever gone.

A Scio correspondent informs us that
the freshet up in s'The Forks, was
very damaging. Scio was inundated,
n house feated off and the bridge at
that place was badly demoralzed.

THE FLooD.-Last Tuesday the
Willamette was higher than it has eve
before been since the greet flood of 1852.
AT noon last Tuesday it reached the
highest stage, being then 81 feet above
low water mark. 1t extended from
Water street, in this city, to Fairmont
Lake Judge Thornton's place. which
Is fully q mile from the river on the
Benton county side. The water stood
upon the third floor In Comstock's
warehouse, and came within 8 inches
of flooding the floor of Fosters mill on
the Calipooia. Hundreds of people of
both sexes visited the banks of the riv-
err during Tuesday, to witness its territic
current and majestic proportions. We
learn that the railroadbridges spanning
the tributaries of the Willamette were
in great danger during the high stage
of water, but none met with serious
damage save the Jefferson bridge, of
which one of the bents was broken by
a heavy drift and the gravel washed
out of one of the cribs. In consequence
of this mishap the cars could not cross
that bridge and we have for several
days had no passenger train above JEFF
ferson. The mail, however, has been
brought up from there on construction
trains, being brought thus far by the
regular passenger train. The track has
been so flooded on the bottom below
Oregon City that the cars eoVid not
run from Portland to that poiht, and
passengers and mails We're brought to
Oregon City by boats. The water is
now fast receding, and we expect to see
regular railroad travel resumed in q
few hours more.
1t is believed that considerable dam
age has resulted by the floating away
of fencing, cord-wood, etc, along the
course of the river DUNG the progress of
this great freshet.

The Arabs with their usual Inconsistency, adopt
two sites for the miracle, namely the place above
referred TO, and Pharaoh's Hot Bath frowning
chalk cliff little further down the coast. PhaTaOhs
perturbed spirit is still supposed TO haunt the deep
and keep alive the boiling sulphurous spring which
started up at his last drowning gasp. When asked
how they can reconcile their accounts of Moses
having crossed the sea at both these spots the pOus

author. What seems remote to us is to God
Most High"
The result of Mr.. Palmers researches in Sinai
in perfect accordance with the purposes of the Ex
pedition namely, to gather facts in confirmation of
the history of the departure of the Israetes from
Egypt as related in the Old Testament. Their so
iourn in Sinai, although but a small portion of the
time in which they wandered in the wilderness, be-
fore reaching the promised land, gives to this little
peninsula singular Importance in tbe religious
history of the race. Mr.. Palmer has GER
tainly made an invaluable addition TO
our knowledge OF its physical geography, and
of the character and manners of its population.
The sequel of his volume is devoted to the desert be-
tween the Snaitic peninsula and Judea, and is full
of novel and interesting information. His state
mens bear the impress OF tient investigation and
"a sincere love of truth, though betraylng natural
paTtiality for the beautiful traditions which inspired
his labors. He writes with a certain antiquarian
and eligous enthusiasm equally removed from the
poetic feryOrs of Dean Stanley and the inplacablc
realism Of Professor Robinson but at the time,
like man of conscientiOusness and good sense.
