The Walla walla Union think

The Walla Walla Union thinks
that if the O. R. & n. Co. would offer
Walla waliaians tickets to Clatsop
beach and back, at reduced rates, good
for thirty days. that a large number
could be sold. "During the heated
term many of our citizens you'd visit
the sea shore with their families il
it did no, cost a small fortune to trayel
back and forth. By Offering reduced
rates the company would hll theii
passenger coaches and boats, afford
our people chance to go away from
home, and make money"

A California Tree.
San Francisco, CAL, Architect.

The region around Guerneville in
Sonoma county, is somewhat noted
for it's remarkable growth of large
timber. The following account of
the saw-logs cut from one of the "gi-
ants of the forests" recently felled,
will no doubt be found especially in
teresting to our Eastern friends. The
details can be relied upon, as they
were furnished by Mr.. w. L. Van
Doren to the editor of the Petal,tma
Arg,s.
The standing height of the tree was
347 feet, and it's diameter near the
ground was IA feet. In falling, the
top was broken off 200 feet distant
from the stump, and up to the point
of breaking the tree was perfectly
sound. From the tree, saw-logs were
cut of the following lengths and diam
eters: LIST, ii feet long, 9 feet dame
ter; I'd, IL feet long, 8 feet diameter;
Sd, ~ feet long, 7 feet 7inches diam
eter; 4th IA feet long, z feet 6 inches
diameter; 9Th, 16 feet long, Z feet
diameter; 9th 16 feet long, 6 feet 10
inches diameter; 9TH Is feet long 6
feet inches diameter; 9Th, 16 feet
long 6 feet 4 inches diameter; 9th,
16 feet long, 6 feet 8 inches diameter;
10th, Is feet long, 6 feet diameter;
18th, II feet long, s feet 10 inches
diameter; 18th, Is feet long feet 6
inches diameter. 1t will thus be seen
that $50 feet of this remarkable tree
was converted into saw logs. AS the
length and diameter of each log is
given, the reader can at leisure, figure
out the quantity of inch lumber the
tree contains. If instead of being
cut into lumber, it had been worked
up into 7-foot pickets it would have
afforded fencing material to inclose
good sizedranch.
Can any of our mill men in the
East furnish us with statistics exceed
ing those of the above-described "gi-
ant?"

A Minister on the Newspaper.

The Rev. M. J. Savage, of Boston, in
a recent sermon on the newspaper,
said: Il believe that the daily newspa-
per is an engine of inoalculable power;
and that, in the Z ain and in the long
run, its power is exerted for the en-
lightment and lifting up Of mankind.
l believe that it needs that public
opinion should be 30 developed as to
make it losing process for any news
paper to be guilty Of these things I
have indicated. It only needs this to
make it what it claims to be, the most
potent factor in molding and guiding
the life of the world. And we, of all
others, have reasons to rejoice in this.
For the modern newspaper, in difus-
ing the latest teaching Of science, in
revealing the religious condition of
other races, past and present, in scat
tering knowledge common 10 the few
best thinkers OF the world so as 10
make it the common property of men,
is preaching our gospel and doing our
work. II true to this function, il can
not help preaching the Gospel, first, Of
nteligence-vide,f free, fearless intel
ligence; and then the Gospel Of public
good, which means, translated into
Biblical phrase, the Gospel Of ever
lasting righteousness.'
