LOCAL MATTERS.

THE PROSPECTIVE WHEAT CROP
Under the heading. 1.-THE wheat
Crops of Europe and California, in
an article in the $. +. Chronicle OF a
late date, we find some statements,
which. If they prove true, will give
our Oregon farmers a chance to fill
their pockets to overtlowing in the
coming season. There is reason to
fear hope, says the paper, that the
next English harvest will be still more
deficient than the last said to be 5OO,-
0O0.000 bushels OF wlleats and also
that the deficiencies viii extend to
other countries. The weather has been
cold and wet for months past. and the
period at which the grain should be
planted in good condition has consid-
erably advanced, as it has also in the
continental countries. The entire sup
ply OF grain will be exhausted in the
European markets, making large
demand for Pacific coast wheat. The
recent warm, copiolls rains Of Cali
fornia, giving promise of an abundant
crop there, and the fact that the wheat
crop III Oregon never fails, will I'M
doubtedly bring an unusually large
amount Of tonnage to this coast; so
that with abundant crops, low treights,
with undoubtedly large number of
buyers in the market, making compe-
tition lively, our farmers will surely
obtain better prices for wheat than
they have ever yet been able to obtain.
Our farmers, too. next year, will be in
a better condition, financially, to hold
their crops tor the highest rates. The
idea held ont through the entire article
is, that the coming season will be a
most prosperous one for the grain
growers. OF course, our prominent
interest i agriculture: our prosperity
depends entirely on the success Of our
farmers; give them abundant crops,
good prices and low freights and the
whole State prospers. If we were
going to give advice to the farming
community, We should say, put every
available acre in cultivation, and put
the crop in we'll; for we believe from
the present outlook that prices will be
paying ones for the coming year, and
the larger the weld the greater your
prosperity and ours.

A New Years Greeting.
JANUARY I'd, 1873.

JANUARY I'd, 1873.
Some one has said: "All's well
that ends well and has good begin
ming" Sucha beginning had the New
Year at my country home, near
Brownsville. Atan early hour parish
ioners and friends began to arrive and
continued, till q goodly number had
collected. Our house was taken pos
session of, and a table spread, literally
groaning under the weight OF pies,
sweet-cakes, 4jellies, chickens, turkey,
etc. Discussing such dinner and the
various topics of the day, it is needless
to say it passed away very pleasantly.
Preparing to disperse, our friends pre-
sentcd us with some very substantial
tokens of friendship, not the least OF
which was substantial new spring
wagon, worth some two hundred dol
lars. We take this public method OF
returning thanks to the donors, May
the muniticpnt gifts Of this day be re-
turned in blessings TO all concerned.

VOLUNTEER WHEAr.-one OF the
Oldest and best farmers Of Linn county,
while in our Office one day this week.
in answer to the question as to how
much grain he had put in during the
fall. answered that, owing to the late
ness of the season, and for other
reasons, he had not Sown any wheat at
all. but that lie had as pretty a field,
comprising seventy acres, of wheat as
a man need want-all volunteer. That
in his long experience as a farmer in
Linn county he had never seen a field
of wheat that gave better prospect for
a big yield than this seventy acres.
That he believed Providence was in-
terposing in behalf Of the farmer and
that the volunteer crops next season
would equal, if not prove superior, in
abundant yield, to the crops of the
previous year.

SPAIN TO STAND BY THE TERMS OF
THE PROTOCOL.

Washington, Z. The protocol signed by
Admiral Polo and Secretary Fish on the Goth
of Nov. was with the full appreciation of his
government, after mature consideration of all
its consequences, and since that time it has
expressed no inclination whatever for a
change of its terms. The excitement in the
island Of Cuba and the alleged threats con-
corning the Virginius, gave reasonable foun-
dation for fear on the part Of many persons
that the Virginius and surviving passengers
and crew would not be promptly delivered to
the L. S. authorities, according to the terms
of the agreement, but such apprehensons
have not been shared by the executive branch
of our government, for it can be positively
stated that there is nothing to diminish its
confidence in the sincerity of the purpose of
the Spanish government or its ability TO exc
cute its engagements. The delay in the
transactions has been unavoidable and only
recently has the arrangement for consuma-
ton of the terms been completed. Whatever
may have been suggested heretofore as to the
programme, it can now be asserted that the
Nirgnius will be delivered to one of our ma
val vessels within the next ten days, at some
Cuban port, in open day, and the surviving
passengers and crew will be transferred to a
U. S. ship at Santiago de Cuba, in an equally
open manner. The vessels to perform these
duties will soon be, if they have not already
been designated by the Secretary of the Ma
w. This is the indication of affairs to night,
which has served to inspire the hope of con-
tnued peace with Spain, in order that the
L. S. may continue to give their moral sup
port to the CASTELAR, government in its efforts
to establish republic.
