The Oregon papers, az far as seen by
"a, conducted their part OF the recent
election in the mildest manner possible,
A personal fight was made in one case
bv the Portland Standard, which went
70 the extreme limit in its opposition to
4 certain local candidate. Generally.
though, but little was said, and the cam
pWiRn must have been the quietest and
least expensive for long term OF years.
A large tank has been put up on Yes
ler's wharf, which will be kept full of
salt water by aid of the pumps III the
new mill, to be used in sprinkling the
streets during the dry, dusty weather.
Owing to the scarcity OF fresh water
the sprinkler is obliged to remain idle a
portion OF the time when badly needed.
With the new arrangement, however
this difficulty is obviated, and the dust
along Front and Commercial streets can
hereafter be easily kept down.
The coming over the Cascades Of the
ol,<,~~A ~<aarnov II SHhnrun-
eon was the most interesting event OH
the Columbia river last week. She is
the largest. fastest and best boat OH the
river, and the completion Of the rail-
road left her nothing to do above the
Cascades. Capt. McNulty was in COM
mand, and the boat WAS placed in con-
dition for her perilous Tip. She passed
The Dalles for the last time at 6:10 on
Saturday morning, and with full head
of steam on shot down the river. Kick
itat Landing, 10 miles, was made in "a
minutes; White Salmon, q miles, in 81
minutes. The upper Cascades, 46 miles,
was made in 2 hours and ! minute.
From the upper Cascades TO Bonneville,
1 miles, was made in 6 minutes and 40
seconds, or at the rate of forty miles an
hour, The Wide West accompanied
the Il. Il. Thompson from Bonneville to
Portland, and, AZ fast az she is, during
the run, proved herself little less than a
match for the Thompson, which passed
her on the way and led her on TO Port
land. From bonneville TO Portland, 10
miles, tho Il. Il. Thompson was exactly
Ave hours. With such boats, making
from 20 to Is miles an hour, 80 comfort
able, 20 elegant, and 30 c0mmodious.

per6uous,
