We learn, says The Dalles Times,
from Mr.. William Grant, who has
lately returned from New York City,
thet, In company with Mr.. Virtue, he
called on the managers Of the oregon
Short Line, and from them learned
that the road will be pushed TO com
pletlou rs soon as possible. Eo does
not think tho road will bo built nuv
further this way than Baker City, and
that mt that place II will connect with
the o. T., and the o. II. & n. Co. =
line. Eighteen months II tho time
stated when the company expects to
strike Oregon. II will follow Snake
river and not enter Boise City.
There Is sufficient capital 10 insure
an carly completion Of tho road, aud
the managers think By connecting al
Baker City with other lines they will
have n chance OF getting tho trade o
the northwest, being tho most dl.
rect route 20 Tho East. This viii
give Baker City quito u "boom,'
being the link connecting the north
west with the Esst.

CoRREspoxDENT in last weeks Her
aM seems to think that the success of
tho Republican party depends entire
ly upon the reromination of Hirsch
and''Earhart. 1t would "disturb the
harmony of the party" to nominate
any one else. lie must have as poor
an opinion of the party as We do, if
he thinks that defeat of one or two
men in their Stats Convention would
defeat their ticket before the people.
We are surprised at the Herald adj
hitting such letter into its columns
when the Republicans have a candi
date in the county against Hirsch.

THAT BRIDGE.
ALBANY, March "a, 1882.

ALBANY, March "a, 1882.
Ed. Dsno.rat
Your contemporary the Albany Regis
ter published an account of the bridge
meeting last week in which it was re-
ported that "On motion it was declar-
cd as the sense Of the meeting
that the bridge should be erected with
in the corporate limits of the city"
The writer could not be present at
this meeting, or he would have pro-
tested against such a melton; it is one
of the most surprising things that ever
was proposed. We can sc all about
the corporate limits of tho city of
Albany, and the orly place where a
bridge in the city is needed, is across
the canal in q locality little more
handy to some of us than the others
are. / do not see how it would be
possible to build q twenty thou
sand dollar bridge within the city
limits.
This objection however would be
removed if one end of the proposed
bridge were put on the other side of
tho river outside the city limits, while
the other end remained in tie city
We do not suppose that the city toun-
dary could be stretched at farthest be-
yond the middle of the river and this
would be a very unfortunate place to
stop the bridge. TO be sure in this
case it might act as wharf for Mr..
Peirce's Ferry Boat, but would not
cheaper the ferry rate very much.
High water would have to be allowed
for and when the river isIlow, there would
have to be some kind Of machinery pro
.xided to haul mp the teams upon it in
order to use it. With great modesty
the writer would suggest that at the
next meeting this motion should be 50
amended as to read, that it was the
sense of the meeting that one end Of
the said bridge crossing the Willamette
should DO within the city limits

"In l792,' says Senator Slater,
"Vancouver entered tho Columbia ;ver,

there is not to oxcesd nineteen feet,

certain and shifting. In ninety years
there has been reduction of nine feet,
and the greater pa,t OF this has been
during the past ten years. The changes
of the next ninety years. even if no

Saturday the neighbors turned out

being made to put in crop on their
farm.
There will be far greater acreage
of ground cultivated this year than
formerly. Rauchers find that there
is not enough grain raised to supply
the homo demand, and that when
oats are werth rs cents per bushel 1t
pays to grub out sage-brush land at a
cost OF SO per acre. There are huR-
dreds of acres along Ochoco and
Crooked rivers, as well as the foot
hills, that will yield from % to 40
bushels per acre the drst season after
grrbbiug, and farmers do net consult
their best interests in allowing such
lands to remain in a virgin state.

In relation 10 their crop prospects /:
The heavy rains OF the past week
crowned tho work OF the cultlvalor
throughout the State and not nook
or corner was left tina, was not visited
bv tho boun,eous dognpour. The
average OF tho coming harvest can.
not 10 less than twenty bushels 10
the acre, unless the season enauia<
should be unpropltIozs and this vita
thrce million thoe hundred thousand
acres, an estimate for California
would givo crop OF sixty-six million
bushels Of good wheat. Tails will 5e
just ten million bushels more than for
the great crop OF 1880. Tho Same
average yield Is estimated by Us and
IS there are at least half Il million
more acres, the ten million bushels Is
thereby obtained. Neither the pub
lie, the farmers, nor the trade are al
all prepared for such crop as this.
Ii would allow II 800, 900 bushels for
home needs, and give 1900, 00o
bushels Tor export in tho shape oi

lent OF 81, 700, 900 centals or ! ,G35 600
short tons. requiring si7 vessels Of 6
capacity Of about 1000 centals each.
With such a crop what freight;
might be, caa we'll be imagined. o.

they might be predicted not to gC
