the
on
two
or three months' visiting In the Eastern
States. Mr. F. brought with him his
aged mother, who will doubtless spcud

child, a little girl, is still quite sick.
Mrs. Westfall Is still very ill.

moment on Wednesday.

IN Suspenders. The firm of C. B.
Coturtock & Co., heretofore probably
the largest grain dealers in Oregon, is
said to have failed. 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.

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.

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.
