MARCH.

Farmers tell US that in Western Or
egon tho fall and winter have been
very favorable for their operations, as
the season has permitted plowing and
seeding on uplands, and grain sown in
November and December often looks
as well as if put in early in the fall
Now we have March with weather as
beautiful as May While thciirst half
of this month showed some tokens of
its proverbial and chronic i'll temper,
yet even then much work was accom-
plished on upland fields, but for the
last two weeks Of the month, the sea-
son has been quito Spring like, all ma
tu.e putting forth leaves and bloom,
and the farmer has been crowding
spring operations with likelihood of
getting work done in such good season
that we may look for heavier crop
than usual from the spring sowing of
1881. This delightful weather will
also forward the work of the great cor
porations that are constructing rail-
roads and enable them to make an ex-
celent showing for the years work. 1t
will also encourage trade and tend to
brighten up all occupations This too.
while people living in the same lati-
'ude east of the Rocky mountains are
enduring billiards and snow or are
frozen in in many instances so that
travel is impeded. Our climate will
bear comparison with any, and if they
have still milder region in California
they have evils to contend against that
we have not in land monopoly, drought

not gone into new undertakings on ac-
count Of legitimate profit to be made
therefrom, but for the purpose Of the
establishment Of monopoly which will
allow them to tax the rest of the COM
munity. There has been q monopoly
in land, graiu, meet, wool, in fact in
about everything into which monopoly
could enter. The salvation Of the
state has been its prodigous wheat
harvest, but even in these the grain
production has been much less than it
might have been if shipments could
have been made from San Francisco
with small port charges. As it is, San
Francisco is the most expensive port
in the world to the ship owner, and
this in consequence Of this same ten
dency toward monopoly. How the
thing will end it is hard to say. With
greater natural advantages than any
other part of our country. California
is not now, making the progress that
many other states are. Its opportuni-
ties have been wasted, and considered
as q whole, its people are poor and dis
satisfied when they should have been
we'll to do and contented. That under
these circumstances it is tempting
field for investment Of eastern capital
is an assertion open to grave doubts.

tion facilities, or at least, until after
the completion of the Northern Pacific
main line to the mouth of the Snake
river. They hesitate the less to make |
this proposition inasmuch as, under
the decisions Of the courts, the actions
Of congress, and the rulings of the in
terror department, there can be no
longer any doubt that delay in the
construction of any part of the North
ern Pacific cannot in any manner ef-
feet the validity Of its land grant or
any other of its charactered rights.
Moreover, the Oregon Railway and
Navigation interests are ready to still
further demonstrate there rediness, al
ready shown in the traffic contract re-
ferred to, to make it more profitable
to the Northern Pacific to use the
Oregon Railway and Navigation lines
than to build lines Of their own, by
giving the Northern Pacific as large a
share of profit out of the Puget Sound
business done over the Oregon Rail
way and Navigation lines as they could
possibly get out of lines Of their own.
Then the propositions eliminate in
the following terms:
To state now in definite terms, as
clearly as possible, the relations that

SAFE ROBBERY.
A Jewelry Store i'm Brooklyn Entered and
the Contents of a Safe Taken.


NEW YORK, April 1o.-The large jewelry store
of VIM. Wise, 2S9 Fulton street, Brooklyn, wa.
entered by burglars, Saturday night, who made
a desperate effort to break into the large safe
which contained about SEQ, 900 worth of diamonds
and jewelry They bored six holes in the door
but the steel plates broke the drills, ieces
of which were found on the floor. Leaving this
the burglars attacked another safe weighing about
400 pounds, which was built in the wall. BY
means of jackscrews they broke il from the wall
and moved it TO the back part of the store and
belonging to customers which had been left fOI
repairs and large quantity of jewelry.
Mr.. Wise estimates the loss about 81, 900.
Several sections of jimmy-each section foe
screw with three wooden and iron wedges and
other tools were left behind. large case filled
with silver was probably too bulky move.
No one knew about the burglary until this
morning, when Mr.. Wise discovered it on his
usual Sunday visit to the store.
The Times says: The job had evidently been
planned for some time, and impressions of the
locks had been obtained so that keys could be
made. They must have been very anxious to
get some pay for their trouble said Sergeant
Easen TO n Times reporter, 'Or they would never
have dared 10 take time to break down that heavy
watch close by the window and carry it through
the store. Why, man on the sidewalk ought 10
see a fly walking in any part of that store. 1t
is one OF the most audaciOus burglaries l ever
heard Of and il was done By men who knew their
business The officer OH duty up 90 midnight on
Fulton street beat declared: a blind man ought
TO have missed that safe the moment ii was
taken.'"
One fact freely commented on by police officers
yesterday was the recent release of "Red Leary,' -
and Others of gang of burglars supposed TO have
been concerned in the celebrated Northampton
Bank robbery, and ii was significantly noticed
that the lewelry robbery was the work of pro
fessiOnals.h

The First Printed Book.

The Sentinel published yesterday a brief dis.
patch announcing the sale at auction of a COPY OF
the Bible, the first book printed from movable
types. This following special dated New York,
April :, to the Gazette, will be read with interest:
The announcement that the Gutenburg Bible
would be sold at o'clock this evening at the sale
OF the Brinley library, crowded the room at that
hour. The Bible is in the Latin tongue, with the
prologue of st. Jerome, in the original binding of
thick oak boards, covered with stamped calf with
ornamental brass corners and center pieces with
bosses. II was printed by Joannes Gutenburg in
l45O55. The first volume contains S24 leaves end
ing with the psalms; the second, 3l7 leaves Ii is
said TO be the first book ever printed from nova
BILE types. This copy was purchased for Mr.. Brin-
ley in London in 1873.
When the book was put up there was a long
silence. At length voice asked IL a moderate
bid would be taken. The auctioneer said yes
