AUGUST 5, in the United States senate from 1859 to 1871, Tn 1871 his two older broth- ers entered the campaign against him and Eli, the second brother, was chosen as his suecessor. Both Eliand Willard were lawyers, while Gove was a physician, All three were ardent politici Next week Gar gouncil will resolve itsel? ko a board of equalization. Tt is & notorinna fact that the nssessment of ulty property for the present year ia oxtremely low, In many instances undme partiality has been shown by assossors—while the personal prop- erty returns show on their face sys- tematic fraud, rank perjury and wholesale tax-shirking by men and ocorporations reported to be the most wealthy and prosperous. 1f council- men will take the pains to look into these irregularities in the assessment roturns, they will place the city in better condition to meet the demands for public improvements. to fill these vacancies can be admitted to their seats without the election re- turns being canvassed by the state board, on the returns of local inspectors of New York, who can, and will, give a cer- tificate of admission, Waldo Hutch- ins, who was elected to fill a vacancy in New York, caused by the death of the member-clect on the night of election, was admitted on this sort of a' ocertificate precisely to the last house, as in the case of the successors to Miller, Lapham, Morton and Wood. The state canvassing board would not legally meet in‘time to cer- tify his election by the meeting of congress, and he was admitted on a certificate based on the return of the local inspectors.

The fact is that both New York and Chicago are becoming seriously alarmed over the rapid growth of a sentiment among shippers in favor of the water route This season’s grain shipment down the Mississippi to the gulf ave proved conclusively the practicability of water route transportation and the cheapening of freights by way of the river and barge lindg has attracted heavy shipments, which would otherwise have sought the Atlantic seaboard by rail.

OOCIDENTAL JOTTINGS. —— GALIFORNIA Articles of incorporation ot the San Joachin and Mountain divisions of the California Central railroad have been filed, A gentleman has jnst returned from Mount St. Helena who reports the erimi- nal devastation of goyernment timber by ™ o fire started about three miles from Jenny Lind, Calaveras county, burning over a great deal of country, de- stroying fences and a vast amount of other property. Of the 2400 shares of the Nevada Coun- ty Narrow Gauge railroad stock outstand. ing, all, with the excoption of 200 shares, have been surrendered to the trustees to await the proposed purchase, Fifteen tons of dried peaches were shipped from General Bidwell's Chico ranch to San Francisco on Monday. Nine tons _had been shipped a short time pre. viously, making twenty-tour tons from that orchard this season. The approximate value of real and per- sonal property in Yolo county for_the present year will aggregate to nearly £13,- 0,028, Some few changes have Leen made by the Board of Kqualization which alter these figures a little, Much excitemeet exists in the northern portion of Napa County over recent ex- tensive discoveries of chrome iron. Large numbers of people are continually out prospecting and locating claims wherever they find the “‘indications.” A dozen looms were started up in the the nineteenth goneral assembly, to moet in Des Moines on the second Monday in January next. There are but twe questions that are made prominent in the discussion, viz: The choice of a United States senatoy and the vote on the proposed prohibition amendment to the state constitution. These questions are important, but members of the legislature ‘6ught not to be sdl d with ice 1o them alone. ¥ as the United ‘senator is concerned; the people of our north- western counties, for ihatance, have only a common interest, With all the veople of the state, in securing a fit and cavable man, who will serve the pcople of the state wisely, industrionsly and honorably. As to the prohibition amendment, again, there is no interest here that is not common to the state. But beyond these questions we have local concerns that require the attention of clear- headed, prudent, reliable men. So representatives ought not to be chosen simply ‘on’ the distinctive ‘issues’ we have named. The nextlegislature, for one thing, will have the reapportion- ment of the statc into congressional districts, as well as into senatorial and representative districts. Northwestern lowa is the youngest and weakest por- tion of the state, and the older and stronger portions of the state, to pro- tect themselves, will be reluc- tant to surrender to Northwest- ern Yowa the rights belonging to it. There should be men there from this portion of the state disposed nntf qualified to make good contest for us in this regard, There can be but ten congressional districts, an increase of one, and there can be but 50 senatorial districts and 100 representative qistricts, the same as heretofore. Portions of the state will have to surrender represen- tation they now have if northwestern Towa shall receive what it is entitled to by reason of its increased popu- lation, It is well to think of this in choosing representatives. There is another important consideration that ought not to be overlooked, immedi- ately concerning the northwestern countics of the state. The congres- sional grant of land to the Sioux City and St. Paul railroad company for the Furpo-e of building a line of road rom Sioux City to the Minnesota state line, is yct a subject for legisla- tion, The state still holds, in trust, 85,457.40 acres of land, according to the last report of the register of the state land oftice, by reason of the fail- ure of the company to complete its road in accordance with the terms of the grant. This is to say: the com- gnmy has failed td build between Sioux City and LeMars, and tha state refuses to certify the lands referred to because of that failure, These lands. arc probably worth half a million of dollars, Tt is an amount of money tempting to specu- lators, and various schemes for the {mnunlon of the lands will doubtless be developed. Now, the grant was made for the developing of this por- tion of Towa. They ought to be used for that purpose, or else be disposed of by the general government to the advantage of actual settlers, They ought long since to have been earned, to have been subject to taxation, and to have been open to settlement. The question s, What are the people of north- western Jowa going to do about it? Are they going to do anything? Or will they sit by, or busy themselves with little local “squabblos in which there is and can be no profit to any- one, and see this half million walked off with by some combinaiion or other to their mortitication and disadvan- tage! These are questions for the people of northwestern Iowa to con- sider, The state may resume theso lands and regrant to ' new company Marysville Woolen Mills on Monday. By the Tst of August the whole establishment will have been put in thorough order, and the work of manufacturing will then go forward at the full capacity. Duncan’s Mills and Guernevill, the re- spective terminal of two important lines of railroad, are as yet not connected by a passable , although only three and a alf miles are required to accomplish this. It is thought this amount of road will soon be opened. ARIZONA. Tucson is being devasted by floods. Trouble is brewing between Mormons and Gentiles in the Little Colorado dis- trict. Valuable deposits of coal have been dis- covered within five miles of Tombstone, Arizona. ) Tombstone still keeps up it's reputation as the best bullion producing camp in the territory. The Copper Queen_furnace, Arizona, during the month of June smelted 1,034 tons of ore, yielding 180 tons of bullion. The ore of the Arizona Green mine, at Tombstone, is running 100 ounces and it costs about 50 per cent. to mine and mill it. Florencin Sanchez, a Arizona murder- er, was shot and killed on Tueslay at Hamlin's Ferry, six miles below Yuma, while resisting arrest. He was formerly a lieutenant of Marquez, CREGON. Portland is discussing street paving. The crop reports are daily improving. Numerous new settlers are pouring into the State, A narrow-gange railway will be built from Junotion Oity to Portland, The Kiel community at Aurora has dis banded and their property has been divided. Nearly 850,000 worth of agricultural im- plements have been sold this season at Albany, Oregon. The different United States Land Offices in Oregon and Washington Territory re- rt more settlements of new land an Romestoads entered this year than ever be- fore in the history of their offices. NEVADA. ‘Winnemucca had its hottest day of the season last Saturday, Along the Humboldt river farmers have more hay than they want. Work on the Nevada and Oregon rail- road is progressing rapidly. The Nevada State Fair will be open from the 10th to the 15th of October next. An Indian fandango is going on below ‘Wadsworth, on the Pyramid Lake reserva- tion. Over 80,000 head of sheep have been driven across the head of Paradise valley, this summer. The property owners of Eureka have never taken steps to secure the government title to their lots. The Tuscarora Times-Review says there is & scarcity of miners there at present, and quite a number more could find employ- meut, Nevado has fifteen daily newspapers, eater number in proportion to the popu- fi:fi(m than isin any other State of the Union, ! Humboldt lake is higher now than it has been at any other timo for years, No cause is assigned for the unusual rising of the waters, ‘Wahoe county, according to the books of the assessor, is wealthier this year by sev- eral hundred thousand dollars than it was last season, UTAH, Salt Lake has a scarcity of brick. At Silver Reef, watermelons are half a dollar apiece. Park City is to have a new Congrega- tional church, Logan will have the Cache county fair, in September next. Senator John Sherman was serenaded and made a speech in Salt Lake City last week. A man at Harmony, Southern Utah, lately killed a rattlesnake 6 feet long, an having seven rattles. The Ontario company is laying in a sup- ply of mining timbers sufficient to last them for two years to come, Three hundred teams are working on the and for a purpose not opposad by the terms of the act o cong{::u. For the people of yon and Bioux counties a ls(:nxd schemo would be to secure these lands for the purpose of completing the road now resting at Doon to Sioux City. Such diversions would doubtless satisfy the terms of the grant. There will doubt- less be other plans, which may in- clude a proposition, at this late day, to build from LeMars to Sioux City; or the Chicago & Northwestern may come in with some propostion to give Sioux City a Minnesota connec- tion; and there may be plans, and there are quite likely to be, having no ment except as they promise to make a fat haul for the projectors. There are other points that might be cited to show the im. Eomncv of attention and respectable usiness judgment and sagacity in the selection of representatives to the legislature, but we have cited enough to prompt the people, if they care to be prompted, Tn the face of such interests why should they wake sacrifice to publicans of or between fucti county? There can be no good reason forit. They should make comprom- ises and unions to the end that the in- terests of all may be protected sud promoted. 8o far the great issue in nomination couventions has been as to which county should have the Salt Lake & Western railway company, Track laying will begin September Lst. MONTANA, Fort Maginnis will be of brick, Three hundred dollar ore has been struck rond from Butte via Helena to Benton, There is £500,000 of the stock subscribed by a number of the heaviest capitalists of Montana, and arrangements are made for the immediate commencement of work and the early completion and opening of the road, 1DAHO.
