Linn County FAnt.-The Fair of
the Linn County Agricultural Associa
tion opens on Tuesday, September 23d,
and will continue four days. The of
iicers of the Association have been
busy getting the grounds in readiness
for the Fair, making them more at
tractive and more comfortable to those
who attend. Arrangements have been
perfoct, as we have before stated, with
the O. & C. Railroad Company, to
pagg stock and articles for exhibition
at the Fair, over the road at halfrates.
It is believed that there will be a larger
attendance from abroad, ami a better
showing of blooded stock, agricultural
implements, etc.. than last year.
Money is easiei, and the times gener
ally are more propitious now than
then, and to make the coming Fair a
crowning success a showing of arti
cles and gathering of people rivaling
our State Fair i; only remains with
the people of Linn county to take hold
of the matter in earnest. Our Farm
ers have hut to exhibit a proper appre
ciation of the results to be accomplish
ed by such exhibitions and the coming
Fair will prove a grand sucees-i in
everj particular.
SOMrniiiNG in Relation to oran
ges. a Orange is composed of ladies
and gentlemen members, and Is gov
erned by twelve officers, as follows :
Master, Overseer, Lecturer, Steward,
Chaplain, Treasurer, Secretary and
Gate-keeper, all males, while Ceres,
Pouioua, Flora and Assistant, are
females, f cue is taken to select per
sons well qualified to discharge the
duties of their several positions, there
is beauty and sublimity in the work.
A genera! deputy of the National
Grange initiates the memlters and in
stalls the officers, in which, in either
case, the instilling officer entitled to
traveling expenses and five dollars per
diem for the time occupied, ihc
deputy or installing officer keeps a
duplicate, and a fee of fifteen dollars
is sent to the National Grange at
Washington, from which the dispensa
tion, and the necessary books, forms,
etc., to enable the Grange to put itself
in good shape for work, are obtained.
Panorama. Mr. Reed, Oregon's
talented artist, has painted, in first
class style, some thirty views or scenes
of prominent points in Oregon, on
canvas, making a series of panoramic
views, said to 1 unequalled by any
thing heretofore executed by him.
Wherever this panorama has been ex
hibited, it has been greeted with full
houses and high plaudits. Our people
will have a chance to throw their eagle
eyes upon these visions of beauty, dur
ing Fair week, at tho Court House,
and those who fail to attend will be
few indeed. Everbody'll go.
Oswego Iron Company. It is
stated that the Oregon Iron Company,
after a rest of two years, bare decided
to start their works at Oswego. They
have lately purchased ground on
which they propose to erect rolling
mills for the purpose of manufacturing
loading varieties of wrought as well as
railroad iron. The deposits of iron
ore are said to be almost inexhaustible,
and we hope that no little "freeze-out"
game will hereafter be t ried to the det
riment of one of the manufactur
ing interests of Oregon.
In Luck. H. C. Clement, of this
city, is In luck. Some time ago ho
purchased a piece of ground In Taco
ma for $100. A day or two since he
old oue half the purchase for f460.
If all our friends do as well with tlieir

Ex-Sherlff Bob Irvine, with the am
of his little rooster, 'Lige, got away
with 2,000 bushels of wheat this season.
Bob is a worker, no matter where
you put him.
Ociioco. I'ncle Jimmy Douthit,
who came into the valley from his
ranch in Ochoco the first of the week,
brings cheering news of the prosperity
of that section. The harvest is very
abundant, wheat turning out from
thirty to fifty bushels per acre, and the
yield of oats correspondingly large.
The health of the valley is also good.
The grass ins been abundant, and
there is a large, amount of fat cattle
lor sale. The mining interests are
looking up, and it is believed that a
large amount of virgin ore will he
taken from tin; hills and gulches in the
future. Men with rockers have been
drifting, making as high as $5 per day
to the hand, and occasionally more.
Ochoco suits Uncle Jimmy, and he
proposes to make that his future home.
Fair Crop. An old friend ot ours,
one ot of the best men in Linn county,
by the way, in conversation with ns
on Monday said he had done very well
forming this season. His llax had
averaged seventeen bushels per acre,
and he could get two dollars per bush
el for it, and his wheat had averaged
between twenty-six and twenty-seven
bushels per acre, and was worth one
dollar xr bushel. Although wheat,
has turned out exceedingly well in all
quarters, flax rather stands over it
this season, in the less favored locali
ties. Cur this Out. A tea made of
chestnut leaves drank in the place of
water, will cure the most obstinate
ease of dropsy in a few days.
A tea made of ripe or dried whortle
berries, and drank in place of water,
is a sure cure for a scrofulous difficulty,
however bad.
A tea made of peach leaves, is a
sure cure for a kidney 'difficulty.
A plaster made of fresh slacked lime
and fresh tar is a sure cure for cancer,
which, with all its roots, will come
out.
A tea made of willow leaves is a
sure cure for fever and ague.
The Old Man's on It. A corres
pondent at Waterloo writes us that
Rev. Yager of that place, a Presbyte
rian minister, who owns through his
wife, the soda springs there, has torn
down the house over the spring, and
partially destroyed the walk or bridge
leading across the Santiam to tho
spring, thereby inconveniencing the
public and endangering the lives of
those wishing to pat'o to auJ truill ttlC
spring. Of course this action is de
structive to Hie business of tlw. place,
and meets with the intense disapprov
al of the inhabitants of the little vil
lage, . .
Huge Transaction. On Saturday
Mr. N. Baum of this purchased 350,-
000 bushels of wheat, for which he
pays 1 per bushel, and also pays for
sacks and storage. This is equivalent
to about $1 13 per bushel a good, fair
living price, certainly. Our farmers
are certainly in luck..
Panorama. Stewart's Panorama
gave an exhibition on Monday night
at the Opera House. We were not
present, but learn that the paintings
were good.
New Ads. Special ordinance No.
19. Two chances to bid on city work.
' furnish all the Dower needed In a few
days, and if our people are in ean8t
in their demand that the old and ru-
iuoiis system of doing busine-s should;
be abrogated, they will subscribe the j
stock necessary to buiid Suen works
without an ellbrt. Throw the stock
books in sight,
Markets. Wheat commands $1
per bushel. A little breeze was Started
on Monday, by the circulation of a
report that $1 12 was offered5 but
after tracing the report up through the
several warehouses and mills, we
couldn't find the party willing to pay
it. Oats are worth 30335 per bushel.
Hotter quoted at 25c per pound,
Eggs 25e per dozen. The market is
well supplied with apples, pears, plums,
potatoes, tomatoes, squashes, melous,
onions, etc., at fair rates,
A Crmo dTi. Dr. Smith, of this
city, on Tuesday presented ns with a
' common red fuchia that was, to say
the least, different from any we ever
saw. One half of some of the leaves
were green, while the other half was
red; and while some of the leaves
were broad and open, a majority were
hooked, presenting the appearance of
a parrot's bill, at the end or top. It
is a pretty flower, and we are not, pre
pared to say that it Is not an improve
ment on the old style.
Pilgrims. Four wagons loaded
with pilgrims passed through the city,
"going west." on Monday. Two of
the wagons were "toted" by "bull
teams". They hailed from Minnesota,
and looked to be in fair condition for
another hundred or tow miles.
Santiam Canal. Mr. Ben. Turley
commenced operations on his Canal
contract on Monday, and will soon
have it completed ready to let in the
water. Other contractors will finish
up as soon as harvest is Over. Less
than sixty days will see the water run
ning in the Canal, ready to be used.
The Wheat Rush. Twenty-five
teams at one time were waiting to un
load wheat at the Farmers' Ware
house, on Monday. The rush to get
in the wheat has been tremendous, and
our warehouses are fast filling up.
Oats. As yet there has been but
little inquiry for oats, yet prices are
looking up. We heard that a party
on Monday offered thirty-five cents
per bushel for ten thousand bushels.
Missionaries and others soiouniing
in foreign lands should not fail to take
.with them a good supply of Johnson's
Anodyne Liniment.. It is the most
reliable medicine fr all purposes there
is in the world.
Contagions diseases, such as horse
ail. glander, &c, may be prevented
by the use of Slteridan't Cavalry Con
dition Ponders. Persons traveling
with horses should take note of this.
Ed. Fox, of the N. Y. Herald, and
J. H. Raker, of the S. F. Post, have

Of awakening the dormant energies of the

Bitters. Electricity, shower baths, the

tbey do not reach the ronrvc ot tho evil.
All physical debility proceeds either from
a derangement of the functions of the as

from a slnestish constitution. In cither

while, however, tho constitution, if inert
and feeble, will have been roused and ren
