The San Francisco Commercial Herald, OF May

trade aud the crop prospect in California:
Wheat AMI barley harvest has commenced in many

WHAT 4 VISITOR SAYs.-Rey. d. Sires
recently visited this valley, aud now having
returned to his home at Seattle, informs the
Lateiiigenoer that Dayton is isimproving rapidly
He found W.lla Wslla full of hustle and
business, and The whule section of country
appeared to be enjoying an unusual season of
prosperity. A large amount of wheat was
coming into Wala WaIIa from the adjoining
country, ana the W w. d c. r. Railroad
WAS rushed with business. Buyers were pay.
ing 90 cen and 81 per bu bel for wheat. In
consequence of the increased amount of
travel the o. S. n. Company have just put
ON ali extra steamer, and even with her they
find their accommodations taxed TO their full
capacity. Hundreds of acres of land, here
tofore used as pasIurage, has been and is be-
ing plowed up, and is to be sown to grain
this fall. The wheat crop of the valley for
this year will be much larger than ever be-
fore; but the crop Tor 1878 will be enormous.
Immigrants are coming into the valley BY
hundreds overland from the East

DrsuxGUIsHED u.y,oes.

Senators Morton, of Indiana, Saulsbury
of Delaware, and Mcmillan, of Minnesota,
will start for Oregon about the 5,h Of June,
to investigate the alleged irregularities at
tending the election of Sen. Grover. Their
headquarters most likely will be at Portland,
but they will as a matter CT course make g
trip up the Wilismette Valley. With the
investigation they propose 10 make we have
nothing TO do, and even in advance are satis-
fed that it will all end in moonshine. There
is another matter in which we are vastly
more concerned. In the coming years these
gentlemen will exercise great Influence in
shaping the legislation of the country, and
it is important that they should journey up
the Columbia River and learn from personal
observation the obstruetions 10 navigation,
and :he ease with which they may be over
come. The managers of the D. S. N Com.
pany will be quite sure to invite them to
pass over their line, and it will be for the peo-
pie of Walla Walla TO courteOusly ask Them
to visit this valley and inform themselves as
10 the productiveness and resources Of this
great interior basin. We can here show
them the greatest grain producing district on
the continent, and we can readily convince
them that with the river opened from the
mountains 10 the sea we can send to maj ket
more wheat and farm products than two
such States as Illinois. The question of
opening the Columbia River depends entirely
upon the dissem instion of information in re-.
latlon to the extent Of the country, It's climate
and the proiuctiveness Of lis soil. Let the
facts 20 sbruad, and it will not require the
eloquence and industry of Oregon Senators to
secure appropriations for the construction of
locks and dams. The facts will speak more
| e!oquently III our behalf than the finest turned
periods that ever were conceived by mortal
man, and the representatives of the people
will be swift TO apply the means that will
open mp and develop this inland empire. To
| carry out the idea here suggested, commit
tee Of leading citizens, irrespective Of party,
should be appointed whose duty it will be to
invite these gentlemen to visit our country,
make arrangements for their reception and
entertainment whilst here, provide teams and
other facilities for visiting the more impor-
TINT settlements and generally give them Il
frll opportunity to learn he vasin4ss of our
resources and the ma snifi ;eu:e Of the domain
that is now open for settlement. To the eye
of the statesman no more lovely prospect can
oe unfolded, and wheE these grave Senators
visit our country and learn its greatness and
| magniicenc.. there will be no occasion TO
plead at the doors of Congress tor the mean.
10 make these magnificent resources avaiIabl,
The great river of the West-the river hat
drains half cOn'inent-wili tell its own
tale, and impress upon The visiting Senator'S
the Importance of making appropriations to-
| ward removing the obs ructionS that impair
i's usefulness and hamper commerce. These
distinguished Senators will soon be upon our
borders, and if the ideas above suggested
| commend themselves to our readers, no time
| should be lost in carrying them out.

LAND GRABBERs. hear of men in the
upper country who after taking up all the
land the law will allow in their own names,
then proceed 10 use the names Of their friends,
and in this way secure a land monopoly.
This is not right. These lands should be re-
served for actual settlers, and tine man who
attempts to take more than his proper share
deserves a severe rebuke. The officials in
charge of the Land Offi,e should give this
matter attention, aud in every instance check
disposition to grab lands.

The SQUIRREL PEsT--A farmer friend
whose home is on Mill Greek. some miles
from town, informs us tha. the squirrels are
unusually troublesome this year. This is
owing to the breaking up of thousands of
acres of wild lands whereby the squirrels are
driven from their usual haunts. He tells us
that be is employed from two to ,hree days
in each week in killing squirrels. and yet
with sll this vigilance On his quarter section
of land the pests have already destroyed 40
acres of whea, and barley. We hear of an
other farmer who since the opening of spring
has spent over $40 in the purchase of poison
for squirrels, and yet his crop has suffered
greatly from this visitation. The squirrels
are getting only less troublesome than the
grssshOppers that Cursed the Western States.
and it is now in order TO devise some plan for
their ex,er.niHe,ion- A small bounty for
squirrel scalps would stimulate the boys in
the country TO lay for the little pests. and
might afford partial relief If any of our
friends know Of the means whereby they can
be sxfingnished, we shall be happy 10 give
publicity 10 the plan or plans through the
columns of this paper.

A Graceful Act.

At the recent meeting Of the Trustees of
the Peabody Educational Fund, in New
York, very graceful act was performed by
tho Southern members OF that association.
A vacancy existed in the Board by reason of
the death OF Judge Jackson, of Georgia. 1t
has been the custom to allow the members
from either section to fill such vacancies in
accordance with their wishes. II a vacancy
occurred from the North. it has been here
tofore filled by the selection of Northern
man; il from the South, by the Southern
members. On this occasion the Southern
members, as announced to the Board by
Hon. A. II. Fl. Stuart, unanimously chose
President Hayes to fill the vacant seat occu-
pied by the late Judge Jackson. OF course
this was an agreeable surprise to the Nortt-
.ern members, and no less an expression OF
the national sentiment of the gentlemen
drOm the Southern States who made the Sc
lection. We venture the abatement, without
'knowing the fact, that the suggestion came
Fdrom Mr.. Stuart. 1T is in keeping with his
ardent devotion TO the Union. and the broad
views of public policy which distinguish, his /
public utterances. lie has never had any
real sympathy with sectionai;sm, and no
zone would have more readily awaited linn
self OF such an opportunity to give testt-
umony to the ruling sentiment of his nature.

few days ago gentleman informed us
that he recently visited Sunday Schoo. in
this county, but short distance from Siam
ton. The exercises were conducted in a
comfortable school-house. On inquiry he
learned that there was no teacher for that
locality, and, to his establishment, found
grown young ladies who could not read or
write. The reason why there is no teacher
is, because there are no funds to pay one.
The people have paid the necessary amount
into the Treasury, but the Funding Bill has
absorbed it.
1t is burning shame that there arc to be
found young persons just about entering
upon the active duties and responsibilities
OF life, who can neither read nor write The
thought is monstrous, that in this enlight-
cned era of Christian civilization there should
be grown young people who are deprived of
the advantages of a knowledge of the rud-
mems of the English language. The people
have supplied the means to prevent this, but
it has been appropriated to other purposes,
in violation of the Constitution, and to
satisfy the spectators upon the States mis-
fortunes.
How long must this shameful policy con-
tinue?

settled We think it can be readiusted, and as

adjustment.
Our people are Thoroughly aroused to the neces-
ssity OF doing something in this matter, and get

vailed in the past. and to the great detriment Of
their interests and their prosperity as . State.
Again thank you, my friends, for the compli-
mentary call extended to me.
Yours respectfully,
D.. VAN LEAR.
