It seems" atrange that, in an agricul
tural country, where anything and
everything in the vegetable line can lie
tiiccetsfnlly grown, the tre-keepers
and merchants have to tend off to the
citiet for almost all torll of vegetable.
Although cabbage, caulillow :r, beets,
carrots, turnip: celery, etc., do well
here we are informed that very little,
and jiiHt now nme, of these vegetables
are in the store Ir'im home-grown stock ;
iimtead we are (siting stuff that comet
from Portland. Tiiere it no doubt but
that good market gardeners could do a
Hue husi nets in this vicinity; there I

of vegetables and there it no doubt Ml

The profit that can be realized from
sheep is shown in the late experience of
John Whilaker. Krem !8 ewes he got
113 living iambs. I'rom the same ewes
lie also got so heavy a clip of wool that
the latter averaged f 1,5.1 per head. Last
Saturday he closed a transaction in
which 60 of the lambs went to William
Creet at (I per head. The lambs left on
hand are us good as thoee sold, and at
present prices are worth $-1 each. The
increase, therefore from hia l)H ewes is
$I"j2; and the wool sold from the ewes
in $H3. The total is $r07.W, or an aver
age of $l.()(t per head. Mr. Whitcaker
has handled sheep for 30 years, ilis
breed is a good grade of Oxtords.-Cor-valliH

Some Annoying Stamps.
Most of the people who do but-i-ncBB
with exprcHH, railroad mid tele
graph odiecB will say anion to thin
outburst from tiie San Fnuicinco
Chronicle:
"We hate from our inncrmoHt
soula the payment for Btamps on
jwidLra "iwiola iifl bvi corporations,
which they are compelled by 'law
to give up, but which they will not
give until we at our own expense
supply them with the stamp' which
they are compelled to put upon
them, . an obligation which they
recognize by cancoling the stamp
with their own names. Ihere has
never been a tax which excited bo
much wrath in this country, or in
regard to which there was' euch just
ground f,or complaint by the peoplo.
It would be a graceful act and a
frank confession of previous wrong
doing, which would be accepted, as
an atonement, if congress would re
peal all stamp taxes except those
which are now unjustly avoided by
corporations and continue those by
language so framed as to compel
the corporations themselves to pay
them." '
Notice to Water Consumers.
It is neither honest nor honorable for
water consumers to allow their bibbs to

any party or parties allowing 'or permit

will have the same charged up at meter
rates. Protect your pipes at your own
