He told the farmers that when trade was fully established with the Islands, binding twine would not cost them so much as now by 2 cents a bushel. He did not seem to know that binding twine does not cost more than a cent a bushel now. He said nothing about Porto Rico. I guess Porto Rico is getting to be a bitter pill for most of the republicans just now. 10--l March 14.

Barlow, Lovely weather these days and every thing in the uround is growing fine. Uncle William Barlow and wife, or Grandma, as we call her, and Miss Vera Tull arrived home .from Stockton, Cal , Saturday evening, where they have been sojourning (or two months, looking well and happy ; but grandma is not 10 well now. Probably rest will help her after her long ride.' We all hope so, at least. Uncle Billy says 80 per cent of the peo ple in California sympathize with the Boers; and hy not? Uncle Moses Quint is up from Oregon City, where he now resides, visiting around, as lively a 70-year-old man as could be expected six months after the doctors had pronounced him incurable, for which, he says, thanks to Christian Science. Mr. Erickson inserted a short notice in the Courier-Herald some time ago that he would like to buy a few head of cattle, and men from Maine to Califor nia are still calling on him. See the point? The Euchre Club sayThey have a very enjoyable time every Wednesday even ing. This evening at Henry Hedges'. Mrs. Obed Quint is in rather poor health just now. Literary and Debating Society stock has gone away below par here since the adoption of the gold standard. A word to our populist friends, if you please: We were living in Minnesota in 1896, when the mid roaders, encour aged and backed by the republicans, ran Dock Ames for governor, who pulled off just enough populist votes to defeat- the fusion candidate, John Lind, who was elected governor in 1898 by a howling majority, when there was no mid-road candidate. Beware of the U'Rens and other republican heelers. ConroRAL. School Report. Report of district No. 82, for term be ginning Oct. 9, 1899, and ending M arch 9, 1900 : Days taught, 100.
