OFFICIAL VIs1T.-B p. Cardwell, who
has for the past fifteen years been connected
with the U. S. Revenue department of the
northwest coast, with residence at Port
land, gave us friendly visit last Monday
For several years Mr.. CardwelPs district
embraced Eastern Oregon and Washington,
but now he has supervision of Oregon south
of Multnomah county. He arrived from
the south by private conveyance on Sunday.
Early Monday morning he was to be seen
busy at work, and before noon had visited
every business establishment in the city,
and left for Albany in the afternoon, pre-
paratory for taking the stage the next day
| for Lebanon. Few men can get through
| with the amount of business that MIR. Card
| well Does His promptness and accuracy
have rendered his services almost indispen-
sable to the department. He is man OF
sterling integrity and worth. Having cross
ed the plains with him in 1852, and been IN
partnership for five years, we claim to know
whereof we speak. May his shadow never
grow less.

prosperous in the history of the institution
