OREGON BUSINESS FAILUREs.-In
looking over The Business Outlook,
published by R. G. Dunn & Co., we
see that in Oregon for the second
quarter Of 1879 there were fourteen
failures, amounting to $l10,2O7, and
for the first six months of 1879 there
were twenty-three failures, amount
ing to $174,72l. Oregon's showing
compares very favorably with States
of equal proportion. Comments upon
the compiled statistics of the United
States concludes as follows: "No
one can peruse them without being
convinced that not only is the dawn
of better days upon US, but that a
country so blessed with abundant re-
sources, in the hands of skillful and
intelligent people to apply them to
the best advantage, must soon, now
that the tide is changed, achieve q
marked andpermanent success.

LARGE.-We have about come to
the conclusion, says the independence
Riverside, that this vicinity can and
does produce larger, taller and Set-
ter wheat than any other place in the
world; and we have good reasons for
this belief. On last Monday Mr.. E.
Marshal brought to our office a bunch
of wheat, cut near the ground, the
stalks of which will measure on an
average, about 5 feet 8 inches in
length, while the heads are from to
Z inches in length, and contain from
rs to 100 grains each. Since this
grain has been on exhibition we think
about 100 farmers of this county and
Marion have examined it, and every
one had taller and better wheat. This
has caused US to think our country
hard to beat.
