The other day gentleman was in the
city, we forget his name. lie recently came
from the East. On reaching Portland he
called at the Office of the Immigration
Board. Secretary Carlisle, instead of rep
resenting the whole State, emphaticaIiy
recommended the gentleman 10 go to
Southern Oregon, in such strong terms
that it looks now as II he might be full
hedged runner for the o. &. c. R.R. Car.
lisle wasso impressed with the subject that
he said If he were not at present employed
ne would go there himself Pity II Is that
he is not given the opportunity. The gem
tleman went there, and found the fruit
prospect failure, At least this Is what ne
claimed, and when he asked the people why
il was the same way two and four years ago,
was told they were like this, exceptional
years Perhaps like many immigrants he
obtained exaggerated ideas on the subject ;
but this incident is enough to show the po-
sition of Secretary Carlisle in the matter,
and there Is at least little smoke that
points towards partiality.

Recently Prof. Walker, of Brownsville,
4 nnaiyzed some of Mr.. Kenton's Sea Lion
silver polish, and as a result,pronounccs the
substance genuine meerschaum. Further
investigation makes this appear more and
more fact. The substance certainly has a
marked resemblance to meerschaum. This
would make the material of which the poll
ish is made of great value. Meerschaum
in German means sea foam,and that is what
this substance is. 1t to be hoped Mr.. Ken
ton will continue his investigations until the
matter Is settled beyond doubt.

Farmers who are always watching for a
chance TO turn penny by raising produce,
etc, besides the regular line of farm duties,
are the ones who prosper best in Oregon.
When you see them coming to towA with
their wagons full Of butter, eggs, ETC., to
exchange for calico and sugar you can set
it down that business Is meant. We know
of a young, thrifty farmer who cleared four
or five hundred dollars on comparatively
small farm last year by doing little rust
ling in small matters and making extras pay
his farm expenses. Such course kept up
Is what counts in a few years.

Arrangements are being made by which
a person can leave Albany in the morning
in charge Of the Oregon Pacific and reach
Yaquina the same evening. This will be
done by running daily trains from Corvallis
to the Bay, and daily stage, from Albany
to Corvallis connecting with the trains.
During the work on the extension this will
be a convenience generally appreciated by
the public.
