The hop crop in the Puyallup val
ley this season says the Olymfnu
Standard amounts to 6000 bales, or
1,110,000 pounds. This is about
one-half, the yield estimated early in
the spring, based upon the largely in
creased acreage, and is nearly 500,000
pounds short of last year's crop.
The name of Twocannon river, "W.
T., is said to have originated as fol
lows: At the time of Lewis and
Clark's exploring expedition through
the country, they were closely pursu
ed by hostile Indians, and in order to
mate more rapid retreat buried two
cannons in that gulch, hence the
name Twocannon.
The executive committee of the
State Agricultural society at the
meeiing last week decided to begin
the next fair on Monday, September
15, 1S84, and continue during the
week. There will be no season tickets
sold, only day tickets at 50 cents
each. This change is made on ac
count of the season tickets being used
by persons not entitled to them.
Thev paid all claims and have clear
ed some $2000 besides.
The Post publishes an interview
with Thielseu, in which that gentle
man is reported as saying that the
branch road between Tacoma and
Seattle is delayed on account of the
lack of iron to complete both that
and the Green river road. By the
contract with the- Seattle subscribers
to the $50,000 subscription, that the
road is to be finished by the 1st of
May, but it the subscribers will ex
tend the time on that contract, the
iron can be used on the Tacoma
branch, which can then be completed
speedily. The Pout expresses the
opinion that this will probably be
done.
On the wreck of the Victoria tho
Coos Bay News says: At the time of
going to her fate the sea was calm,
and the passengers and crew with
their bedding and baggage were
landed safely at Port Orford. When
Mr. Culiver left she could easily be
approached by boats, but it is almost
a certainty that she will be broken to
pieces with the first southerly weath
er, as the sea is very rough where she
lays when the wind blows from the
south. The captains now in port
say the rock on which she struck is
between five and six miles northwest
of tho western end of Capo Blanco
reef, and the sea never breaks over
it except at extremely low tide, and
then only in rough weather. They
also say it is not marked on the chart
of tho coast, and is only known to
few captains. The Victoria is situ
ated about three hundred yards south
of Battle rook, lying easily on the
beach, head on, in a calm sea, but she
will undoubtedly be broken to pieces
as soon as the wind changes to the
south as iho beach where she lays is
unprotected from southerly weather.
A Stricken Family.
On Sunday, Robert West, a young
man aged 19 years, died at his father's
residence of brain fever, after a brief
illness. Deceased was of sober and
industrious habits. Mr. West moved
to this county from Illinois in the
year 18G4.and has lived here ever
since. He and his industrious wife
worked hard, and of course, pros
pered, until about six years ago when
his wife died, leaving a family of six
children, among them an infant babe.
With these children he has been very
unfortunate. It will be remembered
by many that two years ago the 8th
of this month, his only daughter,
Mrs. Dobson, and babe, accompanied
by Mr. Phelps, were drowned while
attempting to cross tile Chehalis
river near Centerville. None were
left to tell how it happened, and
therefore it will always remain a mys
terv. When the terrible news was
carried to Mr. West ho was bending
over and attending to the wants of
his fourth son, who died a few hours
later. At this writing his eldest son
is lying dead in one room, while in
an adjoining one the second one is
lying dangerously ilL It is a terrible
shock to Mr. West. He said, m
speaking of his bereavement, 'I have
worked hard and accumulated
property, flunking to have comfort
able homes for my boys; but they are
going, all going before me: Che
halis Correspondence.
Villnrd's Friends Heavy Losers.
The Washington Sunday Capital
says: "If reports are true, and they
coiue from a person who ought to
know the truth, President Yillard's
friends suffered a good deal from the
tumble in Northern Pacific stock.
Villard says he, too, is a poorer man
than he was before he started out on
his splendid picnic across the conti
nent Still ho doesn't stop work on
his fine house, which it is said will be
the handsomest m the luxurious me
tropolis. That concealed floating
debt fooled many a man, and among
them some in Villard s own office.
The vice president of tho company is
reported to have been a heavy loser,
and with him a man who has long
had a good reputation as a writer for
magazines and newspapers. This
man is said to have lost his all. The
hardest cases are those of Roscoe
Conkling and his friend A. B. John
son. Conkling is reported to have
bought freelv, on advices from head
quarters, but now ho is in debt to the
amount of S50.000. The world knows
how A. B. Johnson met his falL The
son of a proud father and the repre
sentative of an old family, he made
way with his sister's property and
shot himself. A sad tragedy seems
to have been enacted behind the
mask of smiles on that splendid ex
cursion.'
Senator In galls will soon introduce
a bill providing that any person who
incloses an area of public lands to
which lie has no title, shall be liable
to a fine of $100 a day for the time
such inclosure is maintained, and
that any person obstructing the
passage of another over or .through
tho pudhc domain snail, lor every of
fense, pay tho aggrieved party $500.
Washisgtok, Dec. 10. The report
of the select committee on Mississippi
River Improvements is about finished.
It seems that the committee was a
bundanlly satisfied of the success of
the work of the Mississippi River
Commission. They visited all the
points where the experiments have
been tried, and found that the eflbris
to confine the river to a given chan
nel had been successful, and deep wa
ter had been secured where the river
used to spread out over the bottoms
among a lot of ever-changing bars.
They found the most perfect system
of regulations in force, and great sys
tem in expenditures. They discover
ed nothing to indicate that any mon
ey had beeu misspent The commit
tee took a great deal of testimony,
and visited the jetties, which they
found a grand success from observa
tion and the report of the Engineer
in charge. Twenty-five feet four
inches was the shallowest water dis
covered, and from that it went down
to sixty-five feet While they were
there they saw the biggest ship-load
of cotton go through that was ever
sent from any port in the United
States. It contained 10,500 bales of
cotton and other freight equal to 5,
000 more. The vessel put through
and went to sea without a halt
through a channel where there used
to be but 10 to 12 feet of water. It is
safe to expect favorable recommend
ations from the committee, although
it has not met yet to act on tho re-
xrt.
This matter is analogous to tue
improvement of the Columbia, and
success in the one scheme implies
success in the other.
The Republican Pulo.
New York, December 10. The
World has been feeling the puke of
republicans of the empire state, and
it finds that Arthur is the choice of a
majority for president If Arthur
concludes to be a candidate ho will
have the support of the old Grant
crowd, He will be opposed by the
Blaine wing of the partv, which cre
ated Garfield in 1880. The old fight
will be repeated, with the exception
that Arthur will have the negroes of
the South, who in the last fight were
largelv owned by John Sherman.
The weather editor of the Walla
Walla Statesman says: The winter
of 1861-2 has ever been known
throughout the northern Pacific coast
as "tho hard winter." November was
a bad month and noted especially for
its ram, which, continuing into De
cember, caused the worst floods ever
witnessed in the Willamette and Sac
ramento valleys. The subsidence of
the flood was followed about Christ
mas by snow and cold. The cold was,
for this country, intense, causing the
snow to hold on for two weeks. All
the feed was soon exhausted, and
horses, cattle and sheep perished in
large numbers, the country being
made almost destitute of stock, many
well-to-do farmers losing every head
they owned. It was a terrible winter
sure enough, and one which the pion
eers will never want to see repeated.
The present winter has opened much
as tliat did; but there is no reason
why it should continue on to the end
as that did.
