The demand for dwelling. in Stanford dur

and at least dozen clever gentlemen who
were extremely anxious to locate here, went
away disappointed in not finding accomno-
dations owing to the scarcity of houses. How
can Ne ever hope to build up our town with.
out Building Association, or some active.
enterprisng men of capital will look to the
matter Of erecting suitable tenement houses
for persons who arr every day endeay oring to
claim citizenship with us2 II is important
that the matter be attended to. There
is not single vacant dwelling house in the
place, or near il; four mechanics, two pro-
fessional men, and a number of good men who
would be an honor 10 our community and as
sst in increasing our business, and in many
WAYS beneiting our town, are compelled 10
seek some other locality ON account OF this
lack of public spirit ON the part Of our mon
eyed men. We hope to see a change for the
better before the dawn Of another year.

THE Missing SADDLE SoUNp.
some weeks since Dr. David Logan, Of
Boyle county, had fine horse and saddle sto-
len from him. The horse was soon afterwards
stanford minus the saddle.
On Friday night last, Dr. David, accompa-
MED by his brother Robert and the Sheriff Of
Lincoln county, reached our town, having re-
ceiyed information that the Loot saddle was in
the possession Of young man who resided
about four miles fron Somerset, to whose res
idence they started Immediately on the next
morning, meeting the young man. John Ham,
in the road riding the identical saddle, which
the Doctor recognized as an old and familiar
supporter and told his business. The young
man holding the saddle innocently by pur-
chase from one John Berry Gilmore, gave it
up to the Doctor willingly and he was there
upon released upon his making a statement
which was reduced to writing. Stating exact.
ly how the saddle came into his possession.
All Of which statements Of young Ham can no
doubt be substan,iatcd, las we are very far from
believing that he was in any manner connect
ed with the theft.

carefully figured up the cost Of
putting in dams, pulling out snags,
and thoroughly cleaning out the
river so as to insure its navigation
for the entire year to Albany, and
a | the estimates | llaye seen are
entirely too high. 81 am willing
to Enter into bonds to complete the
work necessary to render the river

months, putting in permanent I'M
provements-improvements that

but a small outlay each year to
keep them in good repair-tor the
sum of thirty thousand dollars"
lie will give bonds to complete
the Improvement Of the river before
next ha vest, SO that our surplus
produce can be shipped to Portland,
or any other poiut reached through
the Willamette, Immediately after
it is harvested. From the esti-
mates shown us by the gentleman,
estimates, as we said before, founded
on actual knowledge OF every I'M
pecliment to navigate i'll the river
between this city and the falls, we
are iucIined to believe the work
can be done, and well done, too, for

have an open. free river by next
harvest, it would seem but a small
matter to raise this sum. A COM
mittee could be appointed to So
licit subscriptions in the several
counties for this object; and if the
people are in earnest, as we are
led to believe they are, the money
could be raised in very short

the people living in the counties
bordering on the Willamette river,
is the improving of said river III
such manner as 10 reLderit naviga-
bic all tie year round. 1t is a fact
well kaown 10 all, that the vii.
lametre is navigahle only during
the Wiutcr or rany months, and
that at the very time it is needed
to carry the surplus grain Of the
valley to market, there is not
sufficient water on tie bars and
rapids to enable steamboats, to
navigate the river to this point
Generally the market price for
grain reaches its highest point
Immediately after harvest, at which
time the Willamette can not be
depended upon as a means to ship
our Grain to market. 1t is at a
time when it has reached its lowest
point, and unless steamers are III
vented that can run upon the
"sweat Of a water pitcher" we
must depeud upon some other
channel through which to send
our produce to market. Yet there
is water enough, at all times, flow
ing in the Willamette to enable
steamers to avigate it as far up as
this city or Corvallis, provided the
water is confined within a proper
channel on the several bars that
now hinder such navigation during
the Summer or dry season. A
system Of wing-damS, properly con-
structed and "built to stay" can
I've devised that would contine the
water flowing in the river in a
narrow channel, and afford an
abundance Of water to steamers,
enabling them to reach this point
at any and all times during the
year. A number OF propositions
have been made, and a good deal
OF figuring been donein this matter,
bnt no decision has been reached,
we believe, up to this time, as to
when or how the work is to be
done. All agree that the work
can and must be done-that it is a
matter that can not be further pro-
crastitated. This much being
settled, the next question to be
settled is, what means shall be
used to secure the desired end ?
We have been told that the Will
lamette River Transportation Com
pany will agree, for the sum Of
100000, to construct all necessary
dams. ETC., and guarantee the un-
obstrncted navigation Of the Will
lamette all the year round for the
next ten years and on the strength
of this proposition the four counties
bordering on the river, most deeply
interested, have been called upon
to put up 10000 each, to secure
such Improvement by said Com
pany. Recently, while in conver-
sation with a gentleman who has
had large experience in improve
ments of this character, and who is
thoroughly acquainted with every
inch Of the Willamette, from
