JAPAN has contributed a new and
valuable addition to our list of fruit.
1t is called in California the persim.
mon, and a wide popularity is predict
ed for it there. 1t is equally as hardy
as the wild persimmoh Of the South
ern States, but differs from it as our
choicest apples differ from tn wild
crab apple. 1t ripens without frost,
and has no astringency when ripe.
The fruit attains a large size, some
specimens weighing a pound each. 1t
is Of bright yellow, orange or red
dish color, and in taste somewhat re-
sembles the plum or fig. It is the
best and most popular fruit Of Japan.
The tree itself is very beautiful, with
dark glossy foliage, and when set with
ripe fruit is brilliant object. It can
% successfully grown ii the greater
pat Of this country. |

Give Him His Due.

Under the above caption the Port
land Staadard says of President Hayes:
Although Hayes holds possession of
the White House by a fraudulent title,
he is so much superior to his legal pre-
decassor, Grant, that just for contrast
We are almost tempted to applaud him.
Caesar grasped the Consular power of
Rome without right or title, using the
sword and purse to win his way, and
made a tolerable good President until
he was rent by the envious Casca and
well beloved Brutas. SO it is with
Hayes.
In his capacity of fraudulent Pres
ident, and a Republican, he is about as
good an Executive as we could wish
for. His policy with the South is con-
ciliatory and this, like charity, covers
a multitude of sins. He is also anxious
to run the Government economically
and choke off the leeches which are
sucking the life blood from our body

The Oregon and Washington
Land Register,

The object of which is to bring Land Owners
and Real Estate Agents into closer communi-
cation with the thousands of immigrants who
are arriving in this city with a view to the vi
innate purchase of lands. 1t will be printed
in regular newspaper form, eight page, l2Xlo
inches, and will be devoted solely to the pur-
pose for which il is established. The first
edition of 5000 copies will be- issued about the
10th of February 1873, and as often thereafter
as the influx of immigration demands.
Descriptions of farms and other property for
sale will be condensed to occupy ten lines 90
words or less and will be charged for at the
rate of one dollar each.
Ii is more than probable that from twenty
five to fifty thousand people will be added to
our population during the spring and summer
of 1878. Nearly all immigrants who come to
Oregon and Washington Territory land first
at Portland, and will receive a copy of this
paper, as it will be distributed gratuitously
1t will therefore be the best possible means of
bringing lands, and other property, for sale to
their notice.
Descriptions of property for sale may be
written out in full, giving character, location,
price, terms of sale, ard all advantages of
schools, churches, roads, etc. which will be
editorially condensed to the required space,
and the letter numbered to correspond with
the description, and filed in my office for ref
erence No charge will be made for sales ar
ranged through this agency-the only fee re-
inserted in the LAND REGISTER, which must
be forwaded with the description. 1t may be
sent in silver by registered letter, or by postal
order at my risk.
Correspondence on all subjects connected
with the development of all portions OF the
State and Territory respectfully solicited.
] keep n register in my Office in which are
entered the wants of all parts of the State and
Territory for laborers, mechanics, merchants,
etc, which is open to the free inspection of
newcomers. Notice of such wants respectfully
solicited All matter intended for publication
in the LAND REGISTER must be written on one
side of the paper only, and be in prior to the
first of February, 1873 All descriptions of
property for sale will be inserted in order Of
their arriyal-those coming first on the outside
pages,
Believing that this publication will be great

the laws to correct any manifest err
rors, either in punctuation, spelling,
numbering of chapters and sections,
and such matters where the text of
the law was not changed from its self
evident meaning. In this way the
public generally, and even the legis
lators themselves, did not know what
numerous errors had been made. We
do not think that the laws of this ses-
sion are much different in the partic-
ulars named from those Of other years,
but this time they are printed as they
were written, and they present an
appearance anything but fattering
to the law-malling power. Further
more, it will be found that the laws
of succeeding sessions will appear to
no better advantage unless persons
of considerable experience as writers
or printers are selected as enrolling
clerks, and that this will be done is
hardly to be expected when the sub
ordinate positions are made matters

Bridge the Columbia at Vancouver.
The Portland Bee says:


Since the Northern Pacific have
'resoluted" to locate their road on
the ''south side" of the Columbia
river, the Vancouver INDEPENDENT
has ceased to howl for the Northern
Pacific as the big dogs bark. We
believe that it will now endorse
Mitchell's bill which will insure a rail-
road down the Columbia to Portland,
and thut will be of hundred-fold
more benefit to Vancouver than hav-
ing the road located on the ''south
side" of the Columbia, but buW from
Puyallup to Wallula. 1t will be better
for Vancouver to have the road on
the south side of the Columbia to
Portland, and thence by bridge across
the Columbia to Vancouver, and
thence to Kalama, than to have it al
together on the north side Of the Col
umbia. We hope the INDEPENDENT
will not be longer deceived by the
Northern Pacific schemers.
No you don't. you can't catch us
with that bridge dodge. No one now
living in this county expects to see
bridge across the Columbia at this or
any point west of the Cascade noun
tains. We want to see those things
done which will be ''beneft to Van
cover,' and we shall advocate Van
couver first, last, and all the time;
but that advocacy shall be rational
and reasonable. This railroad ques-
ton rises in importance far above
any town, city, county, or any merely y
local or side issue. 1t is a matter
of national Importance that the North
ern Pacific Railroad should be built
according to the original plan, and
be a through line competing with the
great L. T., and c. F., railroads. So
far as the 'howling" Is concerned,
there has been none through the col
umns of the INDEPENDENT. We
shall leave that to be done by the ''big
dogs" and the little dogs also, who
have their mouths open ready to
catch whatever morsels may be
thrown them from the rich mems
table.

Concerning Nurseries.

The Seattle HteHigencer condemns
the practice of people in this Territory
buying fruit trees of Eastern nursery
men, and justly says that we have
much better and cheaper articles pro
duced here than they can boast of any
where else. Enumerating the nur-
series of the Territory the LnteHigencer
mentions that of Philip Ritz, of Walla
Walla; Swan of Olympia, and Lawton
of Seattle, but makes no mention of :.
w. Browns Vancouver nursery, which
is larger than all the others and sells
quite as many trees during the year as
all the others put together

Newspaper Decisions.

l. Any person who takes paper regularly
name or another's, or whether he has sub
scribed or not-s responsible for payment.
2. If a person orders his paper discontinued,
he must pay all arrears, or the publisher may
continue to send it until payment is made, and
then collect the whole amount, whether the
paper is taken from the Office or not.
3. The courts have decided that refusing to
take newspapers and periodicals from the post I,
oiticc, or removing and leaving them uncalled
for, is prma faca evidence OF intentional
fraud.

The Enraged Masses.
The Washington CapitaI saws:

The Washington Capital says:
at may be that the enraged masses
will seek relief to their indignation by
swinging a Secretary Of the Treasury
and a few railroad kings and full
stomached gold trimmed bankers and
bondholders to convenient lamp
posts.
1t is just such insane raving as that
which stimulates the ignorant populace
to engage in liots and bloodshed. The
men in authority and the bankers are
no more responsible for the hard times
than they are for the deseneracy of the
American race. There is far more
need of temperance, patience, industry
and common honesty among the zen
ragged Masses" than there is of ven
geance on officials and capitalists. The
latter are venal and greedy enough in
all conscience, but the chief blame for
the evils complained of lies with the
'enraged Masses" Corrective measures
in the nature of sack cloth and ashes
are what these ''enraged masses need
more than anything else:
