Mr.. Robert Frost informs us that
q sister, residing in London, reports
that she has but recently recovered
from a dangerous illness caused by
eating Columbia river salmon. Her
physicians declare her case to have
been a serious one, and resulting,
doubtless from some kind of poison
insinuated into the substance of,the
canned fish. The specimen of Sal
mon partaken of came from one of
the principal canneries on the Col
umbia, and to all appearance, was
in prime condition when opened.
One theory urged in explanation of
the supposed presence Of poison in
the fish is, that the cans had not
been cleansed from the muriatic acid
used in soldering the joints; as it is
Well known that this acid is now
largely used by tin-smiths in prefer
ence to pulverized rosin. This is
not the first reported instance of
sickness resulting from eating canned
salmon. If the mischief results
from the acid used in the manufac-
ture of the cans, the whole matter
can be easily remedied, and those in
terested in the salmon trade should
lose no time in instituting a critical
investigation. The smallest quantity
of poison is prolific of evil when in
PRODUCED into the animal system.
The minute and almost microscopic
globule fro m the sting of a bee has
been known to produce death in a
few hours. Animal tissue possesses
the power, in q remarkable degree,
of absorbing anything in the form of
liquid, owing to the network of
capillaries which constitute its for
nation. In this way, the merest
traces of nuriatic acid left in the
cans are easily disseminated through

The bill introduced by Senator
Mitchell for the improvement of the
upper Columbia recites that the
extent of land drained by that river
is equal to New England, New York,
Pennsylvania aud Ohio. All this
sounds well in bill, and when read
by eastern people in newspaper,
but it is pretty we'll understood by
the people on this coast that the bar
at the mouth of that river is of more
serious detriment to the commerce of
Oregon. Washington and Idaho than

is the intent of the bill to remove.
While it may not be within the prov

bar, the people should understand
what it really is which constitutes
the great drawback to the navigation
of the Columbia river.

the whole bulk of the salmon with
which they are filled. Should the
poison proceed from other and more
remote causes, the matter, of course,
cannot be so easily traced. Be this
as it may, the Pacific salmon trade
constitutes one of the great thews Of
our foreign commerce and its import
ance demands that everything del.
eterious to the vitality of its good
name should be forthwith eradicated
from the public mind.

LATER.

Later advices from Oyster Bay in
dictate that first &C counts of the wreck
of the Old Settler ore somewhat ex-
aggerated. The steamer did not
leave port on the day mentioned.
They put too many oysters on her at
low tide and when the water rose,
like the overladen beast of burden,
she could not rise, and the sea for
a few hours submerged her graceful
outlines. No lives were lost and no
damage was done. With these ex-
ceptions, our narrative is substan'

THERE is simple fact concerning
wheat culture which ought to be re-
membered by every farmer. AS
preliminary to what We are about to
say, it is doubtless pretty we'll known
that if wheat lands be plowed in
the dry" the wheat should be sown
in "the wet" Now it is fact that,
on lands particularly favorable to
wheat culture, if rains do not come
in time to insure good crop of this
cereal, rye may be tried with an al
most absolute certainty of good
crop. A practical farmer relates
that in the Autumn of 1874, when
wheat put into the ground during
September was utterly destroyed,
by the following severe Winter, rye
which was put in late in October
came through in splendid condition.

The Death Penalty.

The people of Oregon, are, with
q good deal of reason, justly alarmed
at the fearful increase of crime in
that State. 1t was predicted over a
year ago, while the steamer COMPETE
ton was bringing hundreds of reck-
less characters from California for
little more than their board during
the passage, that too much COMPETE
ton would, in the end, prove to be
quite too much of a good thing.
How we'll, this prediction has been
verified may be strikingly shown by
the criminal cases that have surfeited
the courts at every term during the
twelve months just past. These
hordes of desperadoes are overrun-
ming this part of the coast like the
iocusts of Egypt, their hands against
every man and every mans against
them. Robbery, murder, arson and
rapine are among their favorite pas
times. The Portland Standard, like
the boy who whistled to keep his
courage up, refers to this ugly bust
ness in the following nonchalent
manner: "Never before in the his
tory of the State has the sentence of
death been pronounced against so
many criminals as during the present
year. Three have been executed al
ready, one is awaiting his fate at the
Dalles, one at Jacksonville, another
at Salem, and five in the county jail
at this place, making grand total
of eleven. Texas in her palmy days
could not surpass this number very
much, and she must look to heI
laurels else Oregon will take the
lead"
All things taken into considera-
ton, there must be q fearful state OF
affairs existing in the more remote
portions of Oregon; little less, in
fact, than a reign of terror. The
insecurity to life and property, even
in many Of the larger towns is get
ting to be alarmingly proverbial.
Police forces, in. many places, stand
in need of other police forces for
their own protection. While this
may be truthfully said of the larg-
er towns, it is not hard to conceive
what must be the condition of af-
fairs in the smaller places, hamlets
and rural districts. The country is
cursed by the presence of hundreds
of unprincipled wretches, possessing
all the instincts of the notorious
bushwackers that ravaged, laid
waste and depopulated the border
States during the war of the Rebel
lion. The only thing that redeems
our own Territory from the moral
affection that has settled down upon
our sister State is the sparseness of
-onr population and the present mac
feasibility of our larger inland towns
Our seaports, however, have their
full quota of tramps and adventures.
With these on the one hand and saw
age tribes of Indians on the other,
we may well be wary, and leave
nothing undone to bring about
better condition of affairs.
IT has been amply proven that
