The CENTER OF THE STATE.-The Battle
Mountain Messenger of Saturday makes the
following mention: We received visit from
Messrs. Klett and Kintner, who are sent out
by Government special party to complete
the Lieutent Wheeler party's survey in 1876.
were en- route for Austin east, having meas
ured as check base at Austin to complete the
geographical work of Wheeler and party. The
main parties were engaged in south Colorado.
Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, California, and it is
estimated that the entire area surveyed by
the entire force will average thirty thousand
square miles each. 1t will be remembered
that the base line north and south, passes
through Austin and Battle Mountain and as
near as the geographical center of the State
as the eye can place it; confirming what we
have before said, that Austin was the nearest
the center of the State of any town in it, and
that Battle Mountain is the nearest the center
east and west of any town ON the line of the
railroad.

NEVADA CATTLE FOR Iowa - The Elko
Independent of Saturday says: Richard Hyde,
a gentleman well known in this county, is
now here from Idaho, and is DESTROYS Of pur-
chasing five hundred head of cattle which he
will, if successful in accomplishing his object,
take east to the State of Iowa, where he pro-
poses to winter them for market in the spring
This must be regarded as an entirely new
phase of cattle business, and affords our ranch
ers additional facility for disposing of their
surplus stock.

WHAT WILL RE THE RESULT!

In the position We have taken iu
regard 70 the present steam "'p OPP
n5,ition. we are not looking az tie
interest Of the respective steamship
companies. but for the pcop." and
State. There is not man m Ore.
pon but knows that the present op'
position is not inaugurated for the
benefit Of our citizens, bpt for the
mastery Of the trade between here
and SAN Francisco. The reduction
in freight has not increased the price
of wheat to the farmer nor will 1t be
felt in that direction, nor has 1t re-
duced the price Of our imported ar
ticles. 1t is simply paying to the
steamship companies tho extra price
which the vessels would charge To
come to our own ports and take It
direct to European. The people are
not benefited with it in the least. In
the end, it must result detrimental to
our farming and shipping interests
The vessels which are now seeking
cargoes that would have come direct
to our own harbors, will remain in
San Francisco and rely on getting
their loads, in a great measure, from
the steamer freight, and the time
used in transporting to that place
will seriously retard the placing oI
our wheat crops on the markets
hence the producers must wait fol-
the removal Of our large amount ol
surplus wheat. Besides it creates nc
competition among the vessels from
this port to Europe, as there will be
but few coming aad the owners car
demand their own terms. In this
way, we shall find Oregon's producers
very seriously injured by the present
ruinous opposition. But it will be
more seriously felt hereafter. We
know that this opposition cannot last
always. 1t must and will have al
end. There is no probability Of the
two contending companies running
in legitimate competition with eaci
other, unless they agree on higi
rate of freight and passage wher
they cease their opposition. What

SIT Down AND RECKON IT UP.-
BY careful estimate, based upon re-
liable information says the Walla
Walla Watchman, we are free to
say that not less than $4,000 tons Of
graip we're raised this year in the
country of the upper Columbia. Say
we need 10000 tons for seed and
bread, it still leaves us 10000 tons
Tor shipment. Say further, that 5000
tons have already gone down the
river, which leaves $4,000 tons on
our hands, Suppose now the 0. S.
n. Co., will send down daily by
their boats 225 tons for three weeks,
Sundays included, which would
make 1850 tons, then after that, state
Of weather and water permitting, the
boats are able to take away daily
for six weeks more than 120 tons
per day, which would be 1920 tons,
leaving on our hands till the opening
of navigation next year about 26,-
OJ0 tons of grain, or over one-half
our produce, not Including bacon,
fax-seed or broom corn. Next year
we may safely add one quarter of
the above tonnage to our produce;
but how will we get it out of the
country? Will some one answer
this question and remove our anxiety?

The following is but a sample of numerous
testimonials.
"Indiana Home,Jeff. Co. Ind. MAY 2s 1873,

The proof is in the trial. 1t is reliable it is

have the White Centaur Liniment.
The yellow Centaur Liniment is atlapted
to the tough muscles, cords and flesh of horses
and animals. 1t has performed more wonder
full cures, in three years, of SPAWN, strain,
wind-galls, scratches, sweeny, and general
lameness, than all other remedies in existence.
Read what the great expressmen say of it:

pockets, brought it forth and added it to

into the woman's hands, who could only
weep her thanks-her heart was too full
