CLACKAMAS COUNTY ME FNTEItmsE CORRESrOSU EMS SHEEP THE FIELD. lVhoat Armigt Increused riliiig For San Francisco IVarh (iron lii; rndorldken School Jfcetluf. CPRumsviLLi. March 4. Mr. Harketi- rider is the proud fatberof a bouncing baby irl. Trotracled nulling has been in se ssion for the past week, conducted by Kev. Mr. Thomas, of Portland. J. V. Stone is quite ill with intUmmatory rheo tnalis m. A considerable number of the people of this place went to Portland on business last week. The farmers have taken advantage of the good weather for the past month, and a large acreage of land has been prepared for crops Mr. Heiple 110 acres, Mr. Hale 96 acres, Mr. Looney 80 acres, George Currin 75 acres, Mr. Tracy 60 acres, Hugh Currin 120acresKW. II. II. Wade 40 acres, Mr. Linn TO acres, and many other farmers in this vicinity are sowing from 10 to 30 acres. The people of this vicinity, as well as those livii.g in other parts of the Willam ette valley, hare not only been interested in plowing and planting crops, but have also been interested in the welfare of their friends living in the eastern states who have been snowed under, froien to death by blli sards. and died from destitution and starva tion. Why go south and blow up? Why stay north and snow up? Why live east and freeie up? Come to Oregon and grow up. As spring approaches we see evidence of prosperity on every hand, and changes are being made which denote that the hard times are not affecting the people of this Ticn.it y. Our capitalist, Geo. Githens, has rented his farm and has purchased the Wilcox property which he will remodel and convert into a beautiful residence. Dan FagaMa, one of the hardest working men in this county, is harvesting the reward of bis winter's work at present, as he has a fine saw mill in running blast. Dan de serves credit. D. F. Warner is putting out a flue peach orchard on his farm. His location is a fa vorable one for that kind of fruit. Potatoes are selling lor twenty-five cents a aack in this neighborhood. Another enterprise is worthy of mention. The contractors, Messrs. Bard it Bryant, have commenced getting out piling on the land of John Surface, recently purchased of Dr. W. H. Ross. The piling is on a large contract, going to parties in San Francisco. Our neighbor Lew Teldthamer had the misfortune to lose a good work horse. School meeting was a quiet affair today. The weather was so good the patrons thought best to stay at home and work. Full one week has elapsed since the legis lature adjourned, and we have not seen the beaming countenance of our representative, Dr. Smith. People are beginning to fear that something has happened to bim, We are beginning to feel that he is looking for wider and broader fields of operation. The republicans and populists are well pleased at the course the doctor pursued during the aession, especially the populists who are talking of tendering him a grand reception oi his return. and friends, has gone east of the mountains again. Most every one is pleased with the change from IVIph's reign to McHrhle's, hoping some day to gvt men in ottlce who are not heedlws of the common welfare of the country am! w ill not sell out to corpora tions, thus serving us worse than the slaves of the South. An oitloer who sells to the bidder for cash is a traitor in any patriotic citizen's eyes. MOM ANOTI1KR WRITKR. G.iKriii.p, March 4.

Our farmers, how ever, prefer a graded and graveled wagon road. Our school closed yesterday. As our teachers, Miss Sturdier and Miss Mullan, seem to have taught successfully, many think it wonld be well to engage them for the spring term. Thursday evening C'has. and Win. Mil lard gave a party to their friends. They left yesterday for the Columbia slough where they both have good positions. Mr. Ottys, with a force of twelve men, was engaged last Saturday in moving a fence to a disputed boundary which was recently established by the supreme court in favor of Ottys.

The convention was composed of twenty-four girls from Canby and Barlow, all dressed In pink milking costumes, with milk stools and bright tin pails.

IteixHtH from various sections aro that the grain aphis has made ita apxaranct) ( in this county aa well a in other purls of the slate In the Portland Sun of re- cent date. Trot. F. L, Washburn ento-1 mologiat at the state agricultural college, ! contradict a these reports in the following ! explanation: The Sun quotes an ex change assaying that W. K. Davenport ; reports the grain aphis ax being thick j in the ground, on sorrel roots, etc., on ! his place near Rotuduirg. ' To use his own expression, "newly j plowed soil has the appearance of aahes." j This ia not the grain aphis, neither ia it the "woolly aphis," for which it is sometimes mistaken, hut a comparatively inoUVmive root louse, belonging to a sub family of insects known as rhizoliinn'. Mr. F. J. CauflVld of Lafayette haa made the game mistake. The grain aphis does not winter in the ground A few reports reached me just pre vious to our cold weather of six weeks ago, to the effect that the genuine grain aphis was appearing in limited nuiiilx-rs on fall sown grain. This may have been so, but aa I received no specimens, I cannot vouch for the Identity of the insect. . Firemen's Election. The firemen were all excitement Mon day, over the election of a chief and as sistant chief. Printed ballots were cir culated among the boys and some lively canvaswing was done by the friends of the candidates fur votes for their favor ites. The result of the votes was that C. M.
