It was discovered auout the first of September by Prof, ferine or Lick Observatory.

It is Heading ror our sun, around which it has como for a trln. As It Is noBsi- bly travollng in a now orbit thora Is chance that It might run afoul of some or tne planets In our systom, tho earth among them. Whether thnt would Jar up our trusts and comblna.

Theso sales all put togothor would not nggregato ninny thousand bushels, however, nnd tho total amount sold In Uinntllla county will not roach far alfovo 2,000.000. Thli leaves tho county with about 1,000,- 000 bushels for salo and 500,000 will remnln In tho county for milling pur poses and seed.
