state even the corn crop is not satisfactory.
The yield of wheat and small grain has been
abundant, wherever planted. Cotton in all
sections is in precarious condition from
the continued drought. The heavy rains Of
spring and early summer retard
planting operations, and the crop,
ouch as it Is, is very late,
The drought of the past six or eight weeks has
stunted and checked the growth, and every
where the cry comes up for rain. Should the
drought continue for two weeks longer, in
calculable injury will be done, and the cot
ton crop will be cut short disastrously. On
the other hand, with general rains, within
week or two, fair cotton yield may yet be
made. The situation of the cotton crop in
Texas is certainly critical

Assisted Immigrants.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. |

New YORK, July 27.--A war has broken
out between the commissioners of immigra-
ton and the agents of the Anchor line.
The Furnessia on her last trip to this port
brought thirty-two assisted immigrants,
whom Commissioner Stephenson decided to
send back. VIM. Coverley, of Henderson
Bros, the Anchor agents, refused to take
the people back, Commissioner Stephenson
placed The matter before Collector Robertson
yesterday and he understood that the clear
ance papers of the Furnessia would be with
held unless the assisted immigrants were
taken CT board. The Furnessia, however,
had clearel. at the custom house early yester-
day. Commissioner Stephenson took
the assisted immigrants to the
Anchor docks yesterday, when the
Furnessia was about to sail, and demanded
in the name of the emigration commissioner
and the collector of the port that they should
be placed on board the Steamship Mr..
Coverly refused to allow them on board. He
said they should be allowed at least chance
to make their living here. The assisted
people were taken back to Wards island, and
an attempt will be made to send them home
by some other steamship of the Anchor line.
Commissioner Stephenson said that hereafter
incoming ships of the Anchor line would be
boarded at quarantine, and that only those
who had paid their passage would be allowed
to leave the vessel.

TAMMANYS TACTICS.
Waiting to See What Sort of Bait
Will Be Thrown Out By the
Democrats.
Especial Telegram to the Globe I


New YORK, july 27.-It is understood that
number of the Tammany politicians are to
visit Saratoga next week to learn from Mr..
John Kelly what course he will advise Tam
many to take in the campaign. According
TO report Police Justice Charles Welde and
others have already gone to Saratoga to see
Mr.. Kelly. The Tammany leaders preserve
unwonted silence on political matters and
the silence is regarded as evidence of the pre-
arranged policy to do nothing until assur-
ances have been given that Mr.. Kelly will be
consulted on the next municipal ticket It
is admitted in political circles that Mr.. Kelly
will ask the denomination of Franklin Edison
for mayor. Many elocal politicians believe
that the nomination of Congressman s. S.
Cox for chief magistrate of the citYwould be ac-
ceptable to Kelly, but this is considered doubt
full by prominent Tammany men. Col. E. T.
Wood, brother-in-law of Mr.. Edison, has
Mr.. Kelly's Endorsement for corporation
counsel, while some one not antagonistic to
Tammany is to be named as comptroller. 1t
is also understood that under this proposed
arrangement, Mr.. Hubert o. Thompson will
be nominated and confirmed as commits
sioner of public works for another term by
Mayor Edison, or whatever mayor is elected
under the bargain, who has the authority to
nominate on December Is, 1884.
Congressman S. s. Cox said, in answer to
question as to the course he thought Tam
many likely to take. Tammany will be all
right when the time comes. The boys will
all be found on deck and in line for the reg
ular ticket. 1t is an organization of from
$4,000 to 10000 men and they know good
thing when they see it. They are not going
to throw away their chances of the plums
that may come to them in case the Demo-
cratic party gets into power, and they know
they can help in accom- plishing the result.

PEORIA.

Peoria is situated about eight miles
northwest of Halsey, and fifteen miles
southwest OF Albany, on the east bank
of the willamette river. Before the
building of the o & G r r there were
indications that it would grow into .
thriving village, but now there is bat
one general merchandising establish
ment kept by William Acheim. There
is also post Office supplied by stage
from Halsey. The surrounding coun-
try Is mostly prairie with some timber
as ash, oak, maple and fir alsng the
margin of the river. Price of lands
range from Sloto $50 per acre. Sheep
of high grades are extensively raised in
this locality. Fruit, as in all other parts
of tue county is abundant.

BROWNSVILLE.

In 1868. when Spaulding, Of Whit
man massacre fame, had carefully ex-
amined the Pacific coast in Search of
. choice spot where be might locate .
TOW that would be favored with nat
ural advantages, he very judiciously
selected site bordering on the present
limits of Brownsville, and he named it
Amelia, which means "Busy, energetic"
And il Is by no means curious that he
selected such name. II may be that
circumstances dictated it FOR in those
early days ia Oregon people soon learn
ed to take the proper choice between
work and starvation or it/may have
been that tho richness Of soil, the salu-
brious atmosphere, the roaring of the
Calapooia and the abundance Of timber,
prophesisd tho cornation of labor, and
the immortal Spaulding christensd it
thus.
Afterward Mr. II. L. Brown opened
store On the present site Of Browns
vile, and the tewn was named In his
honor. In 1853 Mr. James Blakely
surveyed Brownsville. The town,
growing steadily, gradually spread out
on both sides of the river, aud the
town on the south side retained the
name, Brownsville, while the town a.
cross the river was called North
Brownsville. In 1868 North Browns
vile was surveyed. City charters were
granted to both towns by the Lsgisla
ture of 1876. The division line between
the two towns is the Calapooia. Good
walks and large bridge that spans the
river connectIthe business walks of the
two towns.
The two towns Contain about CSC
inhabitants, and afford numerous bus-
mess houses, the most of which are in
North Brownsville. The wooden mills
were erected in 1851, and arc conduo-
ted by the Brownsville Woolen Mills
Company. Since that time extensive
improvements have been made by these
mills. They use many thousand pounds
of wool annually, turn out moro than
one hundred thousand dollars worth of
goods, unexcelled in the world, and
which command the highest prices in
homo and forsign markets.
Here we may mention the names of
Messrs. Kirk, Croft, Hausman, Tenn
pleton and Others connected with the
hop business. Such success has atten-
ded this department. of culture that the
greatest hop raiser in the United States
atsly purchased land near our town

SCIO-

About sixteen miles northeast Of
Albsay on Thomas Creek, in that SEQ
ton of the county known as the "Forks"
is situated the town Of Scio. In 1853
the first wagon bridge was built across
this creek at the crossing now known as
Main Street in Scio. At this early pe-
riod there were but few scattering set
tiers in all the country round about,
and they were subjected TO privations,
hsrdships and trials incident to frontier
life. Bat those settlers, NEARLY alto
gether,) were the descendants of the aa-
ycnturons pioneers who had opened up
the way for the permanent settlement
of the vast territory lying between the
Ohio and Mississippi River, and they
had not forgotten the lessons Of hard
ships and tolls in which they had besn
SO thoroughly schooled. And by way Of
parenthesis, we would say that what we
say of the traits of character of the ear
ly settlers of Scio and the "Forks, !"
may be well said of tho early settlers Of
all other parts of tho county. They
had como determined 70 add their
strength 20 the effort then being made
to prevent Great Britain from gaining
Oregon and all the Northwest. VIII
liam Mckinney was the first person to
engage in the mercantile business in
Scfo, having opened up small trading
post as early as 1854, for the purpose
of supplying the few settlers with those
necessaries which were deemed indis-
pensable. The house, which he occu-
pied, had been built the year before BY
7. Wheeler. In about 1850 L. Turner
and Wm. Mckinney built grist mill
at this place. The town was not per-
manently laid out until 1856. Ths
southwest corner of L. Wheeler's bull
ding was made the starting point by th.
surveyor, and the building now owned
By w. e. Kelly marks that point. Th,
location of the town is beautiful, at
tractive, romantic one.
| The Thomas Creek Valley Is, at thil
point, about half to mile wide ant
is bordered on either side by an undu
lating billy country having more o.
less timber, scraggy oak and tall state
| ly fir. Among tho most important
manufacturers are the Touring mill
owned by r. Pentland and a plainel
and sash and door factory owned by
D. Myers. The town was incorpor a.
ted BY act of the Legislature in 1866
and now has population of about 400

Harrisburg Is an Incorporated town
Of four hundred and fifty inhabitants,
situated on the right or east bank OF
the Willamette River In the extreme
southwest Of Linn county. The town
site is rather low and level and some-
thing like fourteen feet above low
water mark, yet not subject to over
few to any great extent on account
Of tho wide stretch ofriver bottom on
the opposite side Of the river which
allows the water to spread out to a
great distance to tho west thus draw

1t Is very pleasant country vii
lage with good schools and churches
and very orderly and social class Of
citizens.
There are q hundred and thirty
scholars In the public school with an
average of absut one hundred and ten
In daily attendance. The locality is
very healthful one having escaped, 1,
almost entirely, those dreadful scour-
ges Of dlphtheria and scarlet fever,
owing perhaps to the clean, beautiful
prairie lands lying to the north over
which the winds generally blow
when those diseases are most prevail
ont In ether parts of the county and
state.
Harrisburg Is surrounded by some
very fine productive lands on the
southeast and north by prairie and
on the west by hill land and timber
ed land. slome Of the most produc.
tive land In the valley lies TO the
northeast of Harrisburg and wheat
crops are almost certainty on them,
much of the land of the surrounding
country will be made to yield better
crops whenever a change in the mode
of farming shall have been made.
| Flrst-class land ranges from $50 tc
| $40 and second-class from $l2 to $25
Iper acre according to the value of i'm
provements.
| The Oregon & California R,ilread
passes through tho town and, with
the Willamette River affords ready
means OF transportation for tho large
amount Of products brought into the
place, The river Is Manageable only
