Meat Curing and Packing.

Over halt million dollars is now in.
vested in this industry in the city of
San Francisco, place untitled by nat
ural causes for any such vocation. The
mere sprinkling Of salt upon beef or
pork, after which it is barreled, does
not constitute the curing of it. Gil
matte agencies must be invoked to aid
the work. Til, climates of San Fran.
cisco and Astoria are altogether too
humid to render successful ANYTHING
save hermetical sealing; aud Portland is
but little better.
But east of the cascade range is Il
dry climate, with cold winters, render
ing it an easy matter to exterminate
the animal heat at once. This is the
great secret of meat curing, and mess
beef packed here viii stand the changes
consequent upon tropical voyages at
leas, six months longer than that cured
in San Francisco or Astoria. The
Kinney brothers started canning beet
at Astoria aud made financial failure
OF it, though the meats turned out by
them were infinitely superior to those
put up in San Francisco. They located
their salmon canning operations at As.
toria, because the Salmon were there
and that was right. But here was the
place for beef, aud here they should
have located for that purpose.
There has been comparatively littl;
packing done here during this year
John AIichelbach has put up 442 hog,
up to Christmas. J. b. Dickerson la,
cured 5S and Woodcock & Coughlu
104. But Dickerson only started cur
ing in September and put up no mea
during last January aud February
while Woodcock only opened his sho,
in October. Besides, the two las
named firms have only bought wher
they could do so to advantage, Will
Michelbach has paid very heavy fig
ures to producers.
The day is not far distant when som
wide awake fellow will "drop on hisselt
and come here to pack meats. Th
idea of paying 81 | per head freight o
beef to San Francisco when the sam
animal could be slaughtered here q
least l75 pounds heavier 10 flesh is a
absurdi,y. The sirloin cuts and fame
bits could be readily sold here, and til
freight on tons Of otfal saved annual
to the siaushterer. The South Amer
lean States would consume all the bee
tallow we could spare, while China an
the East Indies could readily consum
all our salted beef and pork for nava
stores. But where is the man who wi
inaugurate the enterprise?-L. Empirl

The Inland Empire.

Mr.. Merry, of the Inland Empire,
has published his paper at the Dalles

has ever given evidence of the ability
of the writer, and has evinced much
industry and labor in its make up. The
number of Dec. % is an extra effort
to give the history, present condition
and prospects of Oregon, and especially
of Wasco county. 1t is illustrated with
several cuts OF local character, and is
decided success. In the Empire Mr.

THE UTAH NORTHERN.
A Prospect of its Completion to Big
Lost River by Another Year.

A friend writing private letter,
dated Blackfoot, December 10Th, gives
the following, which we take the lib
erty Of publishing:
''I'he work on the Utah Northern
railroad is progressing finely. The
grading for several miles-in fact, from
here to the crossing of Snake river
will not cost over s40O per mile. There
is little doubt bui it will be flashed to
that river in early Spring. The work
will be pushed on with all possible
speed until the point where the Mon
tana and Boise City branches separate
is reached, where freight depot will
be established. 1t will be lively place
and, perhaps, Il permanent town. It'll:
whispered that the Boise City branch
is to be finished as far as the crossing

There is hope in the future for tea

in discouraging the expectation to this
country of artifcially colored teas, and
to have only the leaf of the tea plant,

He said that the best teas used in this

Opinion of Indians.

The Indian situation, instead of Civ
ing appearance of settlement, grows
more alarming. The indians seem to
be making every arrangement for a
bloody war early in the Spring. Chief
Moses, whose loyalty to the whites has
been considered very doubtful for the
last two years, is now confned in Jail at
Yakima City for resisting the sheriff
and his posse in arrestlng the murder
ers Of the Perkins family. Consider
able excitement prevails amoog the
people Of Yakima county, and armed
organizations are being rapidly effected,
both there and 10 all the eastern coun-
ties o! Oregon. An Indian war seems
to be in svitable. 1t is the history OF
every Indian war that the tine 10 iigh,
them is in the winter. Experience has
shown Us that no reliable protection car
be expected from the government. Wha
wiser courae is there for the people o
this country than to deliberately make
