1RoNDALE NoTE5.-Mr. j. l.. Smith,
the superintendent at Irondale, expresses
himself as being well pleased with the
outlook for the works. A large scow is
lying at the wharf there discharging
lime rock, and the schooner Mary Par
ker and British schooner Eliza are dis
charging ore from Texada. The com
pany has enough charcoal on hand to
last 1t several months, but are not burn
ing any just at present. The Bay View
hotel. under the management of J. Z.
Dyer. is doing good business. While
III lrondale on Sunday the people from

off, aud were much interested in the op-
Grafton.
Hon. Charles S. VOORHEES, is to speak
here this evening. He should have a
patient hearing, and there should be
general turnout. He is having hard
row to hoe" this year. The old-ti.n
leaders of his party are quietly leaving
him to his fate, while many of them are
secretly knifing him. None of them are
working for him in that hearty way that
means the best possible results. The
fact is that Mr.. voorhees, has a good
many explanations to make in reference
to his conduct, that call for all the ill.,
ge0uity and ability he possesses. His
promises were profuse two years ago,
and there has been such paucty of
results, that the dear people" want TO
know, you know.

ton of those who have come into Wash
ingtOn Territory since Mr.. Brooks was
resident here, it may be stated that he is
q native of Washington county, Pennsyl-
vania, graduated at the Western Univer-
sity of that state in the same class with
Senator MCMILLAN of Minnesota, crossed
the plains to Oregon and settled Rt Pu-
get Sound in 1851. Old settlers will re-
member his donation claim" near Olym-
pia. He moved back 10 Oregon in 1857.
Was special agent of the postoffice de-
partment during the administration of
President johnson, and was quarter
OF the Oregon mounted
militia during the Modoc Indian war.
He is democrat in politics, but did not
cooperate with that party during the
war. Among those who recommended
his appointment as Collector at Port
Townsend were many prominent men of
Oregon of both parties. Mr.. Brooks Is
about Sc years of age. is owner of the hot
springs at i. Linkville, aud is understood
to be In fairly prosperous circumstances.
His eldest son graduated at West Point
in June last, and is now a lieutenant in
the eighth cavalry. Mr.. Brooks will
