Vice President Arthur's position how
ia not an enviable one. On account Of
h,s being stslwart majority of the
Republican party have nothing but
censure for him. Democrats do not
want TO take him up. We did not
elect him in fact we did all that was
possible to defeat him. Democratic
papers and orators told Of his short
eomings and dishonesty and adj
vised people not TO vote for him.
We are sorry he was elected, but
he was, and Republicans are TO
blame for it. After the stalwarts were
defeated at Chicago by the nomination
of Garfield ii was known that he could
not be elected without their help. A
bone WAS thrown them in the shape OF
Arthur. To be successful Now York
had to be carried Conkling and Ar
thur were expected to bring that result
about, and they did 1t, and Garfield thus
owes his election 10 them. Doesn't II

Mr.. Wallis Nash, Of Corvallis, Vice

left Cardiff bound for Yaquina Bay
with six thousand tons Of steel rails for

COOP PRICES FoR WHEAT.

Every commercial paper in the Unit
ed States, from New York 10 San
Francisco, that We have seen during
the past six weeks, prophesies that the
price of wheat this year will be much
higher than it was during the last, and
the figures they give prove almost con-
elusiyely that their estimates are cor
rect. The last We have seen in from
the San Francisco Jour1ul of Com
pleres OF the 2lst inst, which We will
here give yOu
The present is a favorable time TO
buy wheat, the most favorable OF the
year. Wheat is always cheaper in the
beginning of the harvest year than sub
sequently ; the approach Of the harvest
warns spectators everywhere that the
magazines are about to he ieplenished,
and the poor are about to revel ia the
enjoyment derived from cheap and
abundant food Then at once the
whole product of the year is ia the
tield or in grAnaries waiting TO be sold,
and buyers are favored there is no
exception To this state of things this
year.
There is more wheat aud greater
plenty Of it now than there will be at
another time during the year. We do
not speak Of California, bat Of the
world. Short crops, more or less, APP
pear about every where 10 be the order
Of the day. There is however no scar.
city now that will come later in the
season, when prices will everywhere
advance. Here especially the market
is lower than it will be not only will
the market here participate in the ad
vance of the market abroad, but the
high freights now prevailing will drop.
There is now on the way, loading, and
in the barbor, sufficient tonnage to carry
$4,000, 600 centals, or GOO, 900 tons OF
wheat, IN there is about 450. 900 tons
ofshipping which will carry this amount
of wheat. All this will be here and
loading by the middle of November,
when there will probably be enough on
the way and loading to carry 100000
tons at least, and there may be a great
deal more than that, and according as
freights go down prices will go up,even
ii there was no other cause of advance.
1t is very safe therefore, to purchase
wheat now and hold it for future rise,
much safer than it is TO purchase most
other things. OF course they who will
be the first in the market will have the
best show, but there wiz ~ a..Hhance
of purchasing wheas With advantage for
quite awhile.
The market now Is abont Is cents
lower than it was year ago, and as il
viii. infallibly be higher than it has
been during the year, representation
of the future is remarkably easy.
Nothing shout of the death of the ma.
jority of the wheat eaters of the world
or the growth Of wheat in mid-winteI
can prevent it. The unusual stock oi
old-625, 900 tons, reported by the
Produce Exchange to-day will have
no possible effect upon it.

It turns out that paper-pulp-mon-

themselves that they had at last a

special and accidental causes, which from
past experience we are not justified in
expecting. The immensc number of
immigrants constantly arriving in this
country il an additional assurance that
our superior natural advantages will
attract more attention in the future

As we have said this question appears
