HOW CAPITAL CAN BE INDUCED TO
COME HERE.

The names published in our Port
land Directory represent over $40.
100000, every cent of which will be
at the service of Wood River if we
offer any equivalent for it. Will we
do so? That is a question for our
business and mining men, prospectors
and ranchers to answer. Portland
being situated at tide water, is COM
petltive point, and gets goods direct
from the home markets by sea going
vessels as we'll as by rail. Her mer-
chants can therefore afford to under
sell Eastern houses in the same line:
while the large capital invested and
at command enables the Portland
merchants to offer much more favora-
bic terms than can be obtained in the
East. The distance, too, is in favor
of Portland, as goods from that city
can he delivered by express in five
days from the date Of order. These
many advantages should induce Wood
Rivers business men to at least send
trial order, and inquire for price
lists and terms.
by ordering East our business men
neglect to avail themselves of the ad-
vantages offered them by Portland,
and drain the country Of money that
will never return. BY ordering from
Portland our business men would get
goods cheaper, get them quicker, have
a longer time to pay for them, and
would induce the investment here of
some Of the millions now lying idle in
the commercial metropolis of the
Northwest.

4 MOVE IN TIE RIGHT DIRECTION.

The Mormons were never in as
much danger as now. \ plan for
solving the Mormon problem has been
originated in Massachusetts and pre-
scented to Congress. 1t is proposed,
in effect, to repeat in Utah the im,ii
grafton scheme practiced in Bleed
ing Kansas" thirty years ago, and res
cue tho Territory from. the Mormons
by filling it up with auti Mormon set
tiers, just as Kansas was rescued from
the clutch OF slavery by helping anti
slavery people to go there and locate
III sufficient numbers to make it free
State. Several of the same parties
who were prominent in the Kansas
scheme are interested in this Utah
project, and they believe that with
proper sanction and cncouran cement
from Congress hot in the way of APP
preparations, but simply in moral SUP
port-'hey can in Il few years peacea-
bly, destroy Mormonism with plows,
schools ana the votes Of Intelligent
and upright settlers. This would de
stroy the political strength OF the Nor.
mons, and render their alliance and
votes undesirable. In this way a
1ata! blow would be given them.

The simultaneous occurrence of
earthquakes and hurricanes in Spain
and its neighborhood has led Mr.. r.
A. Proctor to make some interesting
calculations. A change of half an
inch in the barometer over an area of
100000 square miles--about equal to
that of the British Isles with the con-
tanned would mean a variation
of some 1900 million tons in the
weight of the air resting on that sur
face; one foot of extra tide extend.
ing outward ten miles would give an
extra weight of 80 million tons on a
coast 100 miles long. Greater
variations of barometric pressure oc-
cur, over much larger areas; and tides
reach several feet be-
yond their usual limits, Oh much
greater lengths Of coast. 81 take j..
thch, Mr. lroctor concludes, "that
we may fairly consider that the external
action exertcd on the earth's crust, as
the tidal wave sweeps upon shore
line, as winds heap up the seas there,
and as atmospheric pressure increases
and diminishes-especially during the
progress of great storms must play
A most important part in producing
subterranean disturbances. At every
moment Of time millions of millions Of
tons of matter, in the form of water
and air, are being flung hither and
.hither over the surface of the earth.
Can we wonder if, apart from interior
causes of disturbance, the crust shows
signs of occasional fluctuaton?"

There are "a deputy sheriffs at
Broadford, who receive IS per dav
each. They therefore cost about
40 per day. Inaslnuch as the min.
ers avow their intention to be to keep
within the law, it might be as we'll to
withdraw the bulk of the deputies. A
few would probably be as we'll as
many, while the cost would be much
less.

dent will take such measures as shall
be necessary under the law to remove
or destroy them. BY the fifth section
of the law sweeping authority is con-
ferred upon the President, to employ
both civil and military force sufficient to
wipe out the last vestige of these I'M
lawful enclosures. The people of the
country will hail with eminent satisfac-
ton the tidings that the executive has
made up his mind to enforce the statute.
Now that the cancer that Gen. Grant
never had is expected to get well, it may
not be out Of place to make reference
to the unbosoming of James d. Fish,
who promises to make a somewhat ex-
tended visit to New York penitentiary,
for the hand he took in the downfall of
the Marine Bank. Fish declares that
Grant was privy to every one of Wards
rascally transactions, because it was ut
terly impossible for him to have been
imposed upon in the way that he pre-
tends that he was, for no man in his
right mind could have conceived the le-
gitimacy of transactions upon which
Ward made such enormous returns
where so small an amount of capital was
invested. Besides this, did not Grant
sign the guaranty to the genuineness of
Government contracts ? And did he not
permit Ward to use his name to accom-
plish successfully many very Infamous
transactions, even after the bank had
demonstrated its inability to keep its
head above water -? When the excite
ment is over Gen. Grants illness dies
out, Fish promises to furnish some more
interesting chapters concerning this
great pu bic crime. DON PEDRO.

that Mott also materialized people who
