MILD SENTENCES. Mccormick,

the Penitentiary for life, and Mattison,
the man who attempted to murder Miss
Rogers, at the same place on the same
day, and then commit suicide, was SEN

ton Of the parties mitigated the severity

etables canned were about as follows
Tomatoes 500 tons, blackberries ITO
tons, raspberries 81 tons, sugar peas
62a tons, string beans Al tons, green
corn so tons, strawberries so tons, with
about the same quantity of nectarines
and ounces. the factories likewise
produced over 100 tons of jams and
jellies. Another branch of the business
is the manufacture of vinegar and cat
sups, of which the figures show that
LOO barrels of the former and 800
barrels of the latter were made during
the year. This showing, while very
creditable indeed, will be almost doub-
led the present season.
But the process of canning and the
expense of shipping East of green fruit
are by no means the only way of preserv-
ing the products of our orchards. The
process of preservation by drying, re-
Gently introduced, has become immense.
ly popular and profitable. In fact the
drying process has met with such sue
cess that the dry fruit is eagerly sought
after in the Eastern cities, and brings
higher prices than the canned article.
A feature of the dried product is that
it is freed from all waste (from sixty to
eighty per cent. of all fruit and vege-
tables being water), is put up in shape
to keep, no mattor how little may be
used, and can lie transported to dis
tant markets at small cost and with
out particle of risk, There are about
a dozen large fruit-drying factories in
California and half that number in Ore
gon, with combined capacity of about
4 500 tons of assorted fruits for the
working season of four months.
It will readily be seen that in this
important industry we can compete
with either Oregon or California. The
market is practically inexhaustable,
and not subject to the fluctuations Incl
dent to crops depending upon an i'm
mediate sale from their perishable ma
ture. Either process of preservation
renders seasonable product capable of
lasting an indefinite period to suit the
exigencies which may arise affecting
prices or the time consumed in ship
ment to distant parts of the world.

The grape crop of California this year
will be unusually large. They will pro-
badly not command over $40 or $12 per
ton, and the great question to be solved
is, what to do with them. Doubtless a
large proportion of the crop will be con.
verted into raisins, but if this should
not be adequate the suggestion is made
by one of the leading journals to. feed
surplus grapes to hogs and realize a
profit from the pork.

A PROMISING rNrERpRrss.

In o previous issue of this journal
we alluded very briefly to the oppor-
tunity presented for profitable bust
ness on the Sound in the preservation
of fruit and vegetables by the improved
appliances which have been employed
with so much success at. other points
on the Coast. Our attention has again
been directed to the subject by the Pc
rusal of an interesting article in the San
Francisco Chronicle, which leaves no
doubt OF the success of the enterprise if
it is inaugurated with such facilities and
experience as will give it a thorough
test. The large excess of the fruit crop
this year, and partial failure of others,
presents the subject in light which
should induce decisive action before
another season brings repetition OF
our present experience. That journal
says there are six prominent firms in San
Francisco engaged in the canning bust
ness, with capital of 81, OOO, 900, and
giving employment to nearly 1000 per-
sons. The value of the annual product
of canned goods is about $4,000, 900,
and the business is yearly increasing as
the fruit becomes cheaper and the de-
mand greater. The amount of fruit
purchased and prices paid, during the
season of 1879 are piven al follows.

ANOTHER 9. LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE. -
Samuel F. Carey, in his letter accepting
the nomination by the Independent
Greenback party for Vice-President,
says: ct am in favor of restoring the
silver dollar:to its old position as o unit
of value. I believe that all National
Bank notes should be withdrawn; that
paper money should consist exclusively
of notes issued by the Government,
with such legislation as would cause
them to be fully equal in value to specie
dollars under all circumstances and
throughout oil time; that incontroverti-
BILE bonds Of the Government bearing
an equitable rate of interest should be
issued, so that money circulation may
DO determined, not by an arbitrary law
of Congress, nor by board of national
bankers, but by the laws of trade and
commerce; Or, in other words, by the
demands of business. The gold basis
of currency is sham. The true basis
is the national credit represented by
the nterest-hearing bonds. The point
at issue is whether the National banks
shall furnish all currency, or whether it
shall be supplied by the Government.
Both of the old parties are distinctly
committed to the policy of an ill-timed
issue of National Bank notes, and the
withdrawal and cancellation of all Gov
eminent currency. The widest inaa-
ton of National banks is provided for in
the Resumption Act, which both parties
are in favor Of, differing only as to the
time when tho work shall be completed. !"

The term of partnership in the Daily
OLYAp1AS expired yesterday, and it was
hoped that arrangements would have
been SO farscompleted that an announce
ment could he made in this issue of it's
course. The publishers have realized,
for some time past, that to issue a
neutral paper during political cam
paign would be an arduous undertaking,
nccessitatipg as it would the preparation
of almost new matter for the weekly is
of their respective journals. 1t was,
therefore, deemed best to separate the
interests, which were united more to
furnish cleditable local journal, than
from anticipated profits to be derived
from the venture. Whether the OLYM-
Plan has, O. has not, been an aid to
Olympia, eleave our patrons to judge,
Certain it il, our best efforts, jointly,
have been cheerfully bestowed upon the
work; it has been our aim to keep it up
to the high standard marked out for it
early in its career. Its columns have
been free from scurrility, and its selec-
tons made with special reference to
elevating popular sentiment in the full
lest and freest sense.
The negotiations now pending be-
tween Messrs Bagley and Murphy for
transfer of interest, will soon be COM
pleted, and the publisher announced,
when it is hoped that the little journal,
which has been our pride for the past
six months, will enter upon an ETA OF in
creased prosperity and usefulness.
