Their business in this city, Halsey, Tangent, Corvallis, .Shedd and Bue'na Vista, under the control of their agent, W. S. New- bury, Esq.," has been managed with such efficiency and care that the pat rons ot the house in the places men tioned will not lose a cent. All the grain sold at those places toComstock ,& Co. has been paid for, and that that was stored Is still held to the order of the owners. Mr. Newbury has made good every promise made to the farm ers, and deserves the meed of praise therefor. As will be seeu by reference to card elsewhere in this Issue, Mr. Newbury has severed all connection with C. B. Comstock & Co., and will hereafter play a lone hand in the grain business.

Sel. The Yakima MInes. A letter from Mr. David Millpr, dated Pleasant Grove, Yakima county, W. T., No vember 28th, 1873, gives his estimate of the mines in that county discovered a few months since. Mr. Miller says that beyond the discovery claims noth ing very definite Is yet known as to the pmj to be obtained from the Squawk Creek country. The company owning the first or discovery claims, have done very little work, not having taken out over 400 all told, and Mr. M. thinks two experienced miners could have taken out all the gold and done all the work in one week with ease. The owners are inexperienced as miners. and have not gone about the work sys tematica ily. They have panned little, creviced, and done business in small wav with a rocker. The bed rock in the creek is hard and rottgl and very uneven, and picks up in great blocks, and is therefore very liard to "clean up.-' The gold is coarse, and is all found on the bedrock, which will probably average eight feet from the surface. A great many gulches put in to the (Jreek, in which good nay may yet De ioiinu, due as yet notn ing sumciently good to warrant open ing a claim has been found. Mr. M still thinks favorably of the country, and is determined to stick to it until he has thoroughly prospected for him self. He has secured a portion of the discovery claims, which he proposes to develop in the Spring. They pros pect from six cents to one dollar to the pan.

The steamer Ishmalht, from New York to Glasgow, is supposed to be lost, with a crew of forty-five men, Woman Suffrage in Wyoming. A California journal furnishes this paragraph: In his late message to the Wyoming Legislature, Governor Campbell states that the experiment of giving to women a voice in the government, which was first tried in that Tenitory, has now been tested for four years, and he is convinced of the wisdom and justice of the measure. The adoption of it has been attended by only good results, and his experience is that impartial suffrage in the land Is a success. The women of the coun try who go for free suffrage will ap- greclate this opinion of Governor ampbcll, and will hold him in re spectful remembrance.

The memorialists claim that newly discov ered testimony has now proved the vauuity oi tne grant. A colony of wasps built their nest a few weeks ago in a church offensively near the choir.
