PUBLISHERS ANNOUNCEMENT.

During the coming year. Mrs. \. s Duniway
will be so constantly employed in public work
that she will find it inconvenient to furnish a
serial for the NEW NORTHWEST to succeed the
one now being printed The publishers are
desirous of furnishing an excellent story, and
realizing that the proper way to secure one of
merit is to bring contributors into competition
hereby offer prize of S75 90 for the best original
serial that shall reach this office by the 18th of
February, 1881. TO the second best we will award
S25 90 We will be the judges of the merits of the
stories, and do not desire names of authors until
after we publish the titles of our selections. We
reserve the right to reject any all offers. The
stories must consist of about twenty-six chapters,
Of not less than three columns to the chapter. We
would prefer them to point moral in the direc-
ton Of the woman movement. The premiums are
small. but are all our business will warrant at
present.

OREGON LEADING.-A Portland (Oregon) dis
patch of October 10th says: ''The Oregon Senate
and House have passed the constitutional amend
ments in favor of Woman Suffrage, the Senate by
vote of 2l to g. and the House by 30 to D." Thus
one step is gained. We congratulate the Suffra-
gists Of Oregon They have had an active society,
and much labor has been expended to bring about
the present result. Now if another Legislature
must pass upon the same amendment before it can
go to the voters of the State for adoption, there
will still be time for enlightenment on the real
meaning of the right of the women to vote May
there be "a long pull, a strong pull and pull al
together" and may the great State, "where rolls
the Oregon" be the first to do justice to wOmen-

AGRICULTURE: THE WEALTH OF ALE
COUNTRIES.

In all civilized countries OF the world
it is held that Agriculture is the basis of
all other interests, and that the full de-
velopment of agricultural resources is the
only guarantee of an enduring prosperity.
When it ia considered that all other bust
nesses and enterprises are dependent up
on this one industry, the intelligent must
recognize its towering head among the
other pursuits of life. Without under
taking any very elaborate discussion, we
propose in this article to show why we
are entitled to declare that no other
country known to man possesses the ad-
vantages that the northwest claims to and
does possess. Some months since the
announcement was made in these columns
that we would publish official statistics
that would prove conclusively that Ore
gon was the most productive of any of
the states of our union in the staples
wheat, oats, barley, rye, corn, hay, pota-
toes, ect. We have up to this time pub
lished the tabulated comparison of six
consecutive years, and will continue to
publish several more, which clearly prove
that Oregon has the soil and climate to
produce more to the acre than any other
state, and that she has done SO notwith-
standing her citizen farmers have not as
yet attempted the use of fertilizers. First,
then our soil is unequalled. Where on
Gods green earth can be found country
with soil, timber, grazing land, fisheries,
coal, iron, gold and silver, climate, health,

and valleys, through which railroads are
to be, in the near future, constructed; and

Cakes Ames was summoned before the
same committee to tell what he knew in
respect to Representative James A.
Garfield. He submitted 4 detailed mem
oranda of the transactions between him
self and Garfield. Subsequently it was
learned that General Garfield had visit
ed Oakes Ames and endeavored to pre-
vail upon him to materially modify his
testimony SO far as it affected himself,
Garfield. Accordingly, the committee
again called Ames before them, January
29, 1873, and here is the official report
of the examination which took place:
Question-You may state whether in
conversation with you Mr.. Garfield
claimed, as he claimed before as, that
the only transaction between you was
borrowing 5000
Answer-No, sir; he did not claim
that. with me.
Question-State all you know in ref
erence to it.
Answer-I said he knew very well
that that was dividend. 1 made out
statement and showed lit to him at the
time. In conversation he admitted it,
and said there was 2,4OO due him in
stocks and bonds. He made little
memorandum, of $1,000, and 81, 400,
and said there was 81 900 of Union Pa
cific railroad stock, 81 900 of Credit Mo-
bilier stock, and $4OO of stock and
bonds.
Questiou-When was that memoran-
dunn made}
Answer-It was in my room. can
not remember the date. Itgwas since
this investigation commenced.
Question-Have you the mesnoran-
dunn which Mr.. Garfield madel
Answer have the figures that he
made. Here Mr.. Ames showed to the
committee the paper in Mr.. Garfeld's
ewn handwriting.
Quastion-You say these figures were
made by Mr.. Garfeldl
! Answer-Yes, sir.
Question-That was his idea Of wha1
was coming to him :
Answer-Yes, sir. =
Oakes Ames afterward showed the
committee his diary with the originaI
entry in it, where he made over to Jas
A. Garfield ten shares of Credit Mobil
Ter, Tuesday, Sept. 80. 1868. The com
mittee of investigation was composed
mainly of Republicans, who were dis
posed to be as lenient with their owl
party friends as they dared to be. Now
let some of the Garfield Republican or
gans undertake to explain the matter, ol
exculpate their candidate. He was no
only bribed, but he deliberately made
false statement, with the solemnity o
Y an oath. to extricate himself.
