with a salute of thirty-onc guns, i'll response
to compliment paid the man-of-war ty
passing steamer filled with Irish picknickers.
The local press was thrilled by this surpris-
ing incident, and proceeded gravely to draw
some wonderful deductions from it. One of
them waste theetfect that Russia contemplat-
ed an alliance with the Irish that she
meant to recognize the Irish as a nation;
and that part of her programme against
England would be to the dispatch of an
Irish army to conquer Ireland. 1t was
really pity to spoil SO interesting and sug-

Our DUTY to the Settler.

Every man who comes INTO TINS country
with a determination to remain, and VINO
nlants his household gods among us, merits
something more than the usual greeting ac-
corded the stranger. He is entitled to not
only a generous welcome but every citizen
who has the welfare of the community at
heart shonld see that the stranger does not
fall into the hands OF sharpers, who will rob
him of his substance. Hundreds and thous
sands are coming here, with barely sufficient
money to take up 4 tract OF land and erect
A temporary shelter for their little ones.
Tricksters and confidence operators abound
everywhere, and. though the admission is
painful. Walla Walla has its full quota. To
urevent the new conner from falling prey
to these vultures every safeguard should be
thrown around him. This country needs
population. idle lands require cultivation and
new avenues of indutry developed With
increased population and the cultivation OF
the soil, and with the Inauguration OF man
ufactories comes wealth and following in
the footsteps of wealth will come the means
of TRANSPORTATION for which We are now daily
prayinG. An honest, industrious man who
comes here now is worth dozen who will
come when the country Is more advanced.
Some premium ought to be offered to those
whose confidence renders it possiblefor them
to bear mp cheerfully under the comparative
harlships of the present, and with whose
faith is coupled firm belief that the future
is freishted with prosperity The man who
has learned "to labor and to wait Is lnfl-
nitely more valuable than whole city full OF
hangers son and men whose wits supply that
which is the representative OF the labor OF
Others. Every time We meet one who tllls
the soil We fundamentally raise our hat for
he. in the broadcast sense, Is pubhc bene-
fnctar, and as such is worthy OF homage.
Upon him depend all mankind, and upon lis
labor and upon thc fruits of his toll nations
are founded and their existence maintained
and without him there would be neither pros
per1ty nor happiness. The true gentleman
is the farmer, and as he prospers so does tie
whole community. All wealth has its origin
in the SOIL and the man who comes among
us for the purpose of reclaiming even but
one acre is entitled to a more generous and
hearty welcome than he who won his title to
Glory amid the scenes Of bloody strife.

in the world and is a worthy representative OF
his ancestry. His owner may be Justly proud
of so noble Ali animal. San Francisco Patchen
is ten years Old, and is therefore inst IN his
prime.
GEN. r. Z. LEE is a chestnut sorrel: four
years old; stands fifteen hands two inches; and
l. a marvel of horse flesh. For style and
action he cannot be excelled by any colt of his
are The owner refused twenty five hundred
dollars for this colt when he was in his three

Fleita; she by Belmont, dam by Lady Charmer;
she by Leviathan and Eclipse No mare ranks
higher in this country than Lady Charmer.
The need of thorough bred stock has been
long felt in Walla Walla. and it is fortunate
for those who desire to breed fine animals,
that they now have the best blood in America
to breed from.
These horses are permanently located at the
Walla Walla Driving Park, where they will

Magic Pump :!

WE SIMPLY WANT TO SAY THAT
w there are 40 RUBBER BUCKET
PUMPS in use in the Willamett valley, and
los in this vicinity. Of these Pumps 80 had
not expanding but common Rubber Buckets,
and have Low been in wells p months Out
of the 3l5 Pumps sold We have heard OF but
one failure. Now this is wonderful Not many
farmers have bought any kind Of machinery
without some hreakage even in q few days.
Our Pumps improve the water IN any well, ana
will not freeze in any climate

refer you respectfully to the following, from
the Medical Practitioners of Salem, Oregon
TESTIMONIALS.
SALEM, Oregon. May 25, 1877.
We believe the MAGIC PUMP, manufac-
tured by H. b. Middaugh, to be the BEST PUMP
in the country, from the fact that it removes all
poisonous gases from the well, pur;hes the
water by agitation and by circulation OF pure
air to the bottom of the well, making the water
in every respect equal, if not superior to that
drawn by the Old Oaken Bucket.

JAS. A. RICHARDSON, NJ. ID.
We have used the Rubbsr Bucket Pump fos
one Year. and find it superior to any pump We
have seen. 1t purifies the water and improves
any well where it is used. If you want good
health, use pure water, such as Is furnished by
the Magic Punp.

JAS. WALTON, U. S. Com'r.
Have lived in Oregon about 81 years !; have
tried nearly all the different pumps in nse; had
rather have the Magic Pump than all the rest
combined 1t works easy, and always gives
supply of good, pure water. Believe they are
more durable than any pump used.
A. H. FRIER-
Foul and Poisonous Gases are quickly re-
moved by this MAGIC PUMP. 1t is known
the use of impure water causes more sickness
and death than all other causes combined We
challenge the world to produce pump that
is equal to our EXPANDING RUBBER
BUCKET PUMP. And, also, to one from
gentlemen living in Walla Walia and the sur
rounding country, who have our MAGIC
PUMPS, THE EXPANGING RUBBER
