The people of Oregon have cause
to be proud of their achievement in
having creditable exhibits of the pro-
ducts of the State in the French In
ternational Exposition this year. The
American Register, published at Paris,
Of August 30th, referring to exhibits
from the United States says: 1.-The
most complete from any State is that
from Oregon. Its display of wheat,
oats and other grains of various kinds
5 even superior to the produce ex-
.ibited by California, and the wool
which exhibited in all quantities,
certainly equals any of the best and
most renowned woods of Australia.
Dried fruits are also great staple Of
the State, which through the improved
manner of drying or evaporating the
fresh fruit, will ultimately become
one of the most valuable articles of
export. Wool is equally great re-
source of this State, and there is
hardly anything in the exhibition so
beautiful as the cabinet which stands
outside of the main structure, and on
which some of Oregon's woods are
displayed. The cabinet itself is real
work of architectural art. 1t has over
l2O feet of shelving, consists of four
tiers and upon the apex is an Ameri-
can Eagle with outstretched wings.
The whole is : feet in height, 8 feet
in diameter at the base, and contains
$4,000 pieces of wood; and surely no
better exhibit could have been made
to show the world the immense wealth
of Oregon. Itincludes black walnut,
ash, cedar, curled maple, Mountain
mahogony, alder, ebony and other
varieties OF fine woods. On one Of
the shelves is beautiful stuffed sal
mon. The exhibit, on the whole,
speaks in favor of Oregon, and re-
.ccts in its general arrangement
great credit on Mr.. Van Beurden, of
'ortland, the State Commissioner to
the Paris exposition"

Dame Nature amuses herself In
various ways, and among the many
curious freaks alleged against her, IS
the case of an old gentleman named
Moore, aged 75 years, who resides in
Morris valley, Marion county: This
old gentleman has been perfectly
bald and toothless for many years,
but, strange to relate within the past
two years he has rejuvenated. A
splendid lot of most luxuriant black
hair has reappesred. His cheeks have
filled out and become round and
smooth, and an excellent set of new
teeth, white and straight, ornament
his mouth. This is no joke but q
stern fact that can be vouched for
hy numbers in his neighborhood. The
teeth are not artificial but his very
own, and pierced his old gums until
the professor fairly achieved with the
pain. He is happy man and Gu
rioslty that attracts many visitors.

IMMIGRATION WANTED.

Under this heading the Olympia
Standard says some very good things,
words and facts that are meant for all
of Washington Territory as well as for
its own section of the country. 1t
says these things in the right spirit, as
though it was newspaper with a con
trolling mind that could reach beyond
its own immediate locality, being en-
tire'y unlike several of it's Puget Sound
cotemporaries, whose narrow and con-
tracted souls would find room to rattle
round inside hollow poppy Sc e
append the remarks referred to in full,
as follows.
"Thats just what we want-immi-
grafton. Think of some of the older
states counting their population by the
million, and we counting ours by few
thousand. We talk about developing
our great resources by plunging into
the bowels of the earth and bringing
out the yellow gold, the coal and the
iron cutting down the forests that
now hamper thousands of acres of land
otherwise arabic building railroads
from point to point laying out city
plats and rearing imposing metropo
lises all these things are laboriously
talked about and vigorously discussed,
but where are the sturdy axemen, the
practical farmers, the miners, the
craftsmen and the shrewd business ex-
perts to do all this We want five
hundred families today settled in every
considerable valley. 1t is nonsense to
talk about the country being too poor
to support dense population. Give
us the people of the right stamp, give
us one hundred thousand able bodied
men with their ssl1ilies and we will
settle every one of them in week, i'll
situations where, instead of starving,
they will take root and rejoice that they
ever left the pent-up cities and towns
of the over-stocked eastern states.
Washington Territory has good land
enough and is rich enough TO give every
one of these families farm of goodlv
proportions, that may be made thrifty
and comfortable home. The question
is ofted asked what is there to support
Il famil V during the few years required
to bring a homestead from the estate
of primeval forest up to "A self-support-
ing condition. The best answer we
can give to this question is, to point to
IL score of smiling homes settled upon
but a few years ago, when they were
invested by almost impenetrable for
ests and wastes of " deep tangled wild
wood" settled upon, we mean, by those
who had only their brain and muscle
to count as their stock in trade The
old truism, "there are rs good fish in
the sea as have ever been taken out, "
finds its cousin-germaln in the safe as
sertion that there are as good embryo
farms in our surrounding forests as have
ever been cleared up. We have great
abundance of what few states can col
lectively boast of, viz; the land, the
wood, and the water There is no
stint oi these things. pr;esless essen
tials though they are. Let not our
friends across the contineat deceive
themselves by thinking we are over
drawing our beautiful rarture. We
speak what we know and mean what
We say. We repeat there is room in
our Territory, enough to-day for more
than a hundred thousand families"

immigration of the last year or two has
gone into the timber land about the
Blue mountains and spurs, by which
almost every available acre of wooded

their former wood supply, unless at

AS the recent nominating Convention adop-
ted no platform of principles in reference to
the local affairs of the county, permit me to
suggest to the nominees for Legislature and
County Commissioners, the propriety OF dis
cussipg, with their constituency, during the
canvass, the following propositions: 80.
l. Inasmuch as we have surfeit OF con-
victs in the penitentiary, supported IN idle
ness at great expense to the State; and have
not decent public highway in the county,
would the people of any township be willing
to provide the expense of feeding and guard
ing portion of these convicts to be used in
constructing Macadamized roads where most
needed? The county already pays the ex-
pense of guarding and transporting her own
conyicts to Columbia. Save this expense,
and add small sum to it annually, aud sew
,eral miles of permanent highway might be
constructed, over which, instead of four mules
being required to draw one bale of cotton to
market in winter, one mule would as easily
draw four bales. Thereafter, the road-work-
ers would not be needed for Six days IN the
wear, in patching the slushes and gullles. "A
mule and cart to haul rock, and man with
q sledee hammer to break up and fill in the
holes. instead of plows, hoes, picks and SHOW
els, to dig trenches, and axes to cut brush
for temporarily filing the mud holes, would
only be required. -
3. Would it be advisable to, restore to
school districts the right to vote local tax
two.thirds of the voters concurrlng-to assist
in maintaining efficient free schools in their
districts? The last legislature very properly
repealed this law which had been in force for
some years. But at the same time it ratified
a constitutional amendment imposing two
mill tax annually, for the support OF public
scbools. As this tax has to be paid, and as
the efficiency of the free school system mas
been so materially improved within the last
year, as to merit public favor might IT not oe
advisable to allow school districts, under
proper restrictions, to provide for the ma'nte'
