A Grate iestin etlled Farnie.s r

In response to a call contained in the
Statesman of this morning, of all the
farmers attending the Annual Meeting
of the Oregon Pioneers a larca. and
enthusiastic compauy assembled, nntn-
bermg over eiglity of the leading agrl
cu.turalists of the State.
The question to be decided was,
what harvesting machines are the best
and most economical for a farmer to
buy. After carefully discnssinsi the
various machines used by them, the
entire assembly proceeded to nersonallv
inspect the JicCormick Improved liar.
vesters, Ksapers and Mowersnow on
exhibition at the Agricultural Ware-
louse of T. 15. Wait. A very critical
inspection was made, by Us entirp
company, of each of the machines. One
gentleman remarked that tlie facility
with which the reel couk be raised and
lowered on tbe McCormick Harvester,
to any required height, while the ma
chine was in motion, added fifty dollars
to its value over any other Ilarvester
made. Another universal reiiark was,
that the new patent arranirnent on
this machine, by which ore jman can
instantly raise or lower the eitire frame
of tlio tnocMiiA
, .- n uiu anuuier j
fifty dollars over the 32arsb fir Trench
machines. All agreed that the room t
on the platform. ' and nnu.nw i :
vating the grain was far ahead of all
other machines.
The same critical examination was
given to the McCormick Advance
Combination Reaper and Mower, and
the 1 nze Mower, which resulted in the
same universal commendation. Quite
a number of farmers were present, who
had used the McCormick machines in
Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa,
each of whom stated that a farmer who
had ever used a McCormick machine
would never be satisfied with any other.
One gentleman remarked that no man
ever had bought a McCormick machine
that conld not get extra parts of it
trom any of the agents even as far back
as machines made a quarter of aceutury
ago. Another slated that he had only
one objection to the McCormick ma
chines, which was, that they never
wore out. Ai other funny farmer in
connection with this sublet "irU
moved frf.m Iowa, said that he had
used one of the McCormick Reapers
tor nineteen years and despaired of ever
. . 1
Wearing it out. SO he dcterminiiil tn coll

out and leave the State to cet rid of it.
and moved to Oregon where he bonght
a Wood machine and got rid of that
after using it one season by throwing it
over the fence, and sent back for Lis old
McConuick. It was finally determined
by a unanimous vote, without a dissent
ing voice, that the McCormick harvest
ing machines ' aro endorsed by this
meeting as the best and most economi
cal for the farmers of Oregon to buy.
A leading member of the Pioneer As
sociation moved that as the McCormick
was the oldest and the best, it be de
clared the Pioneer , Reaper 4 of tbe

Some Fish. On Sunday last two
"young fellows" chased a fish down the
Canal to tfce bridge near the residence
of Mr. Luther Elkins, where, with the
assistance of Mr. Elkins, they caught it.
i here is nothihg specially remarKable
about catching fish in the Canal, as that
is a matter of frequent occurrence. The
only remarkable feature in this case is
the size of the fin-back. It was of the
species known as salmon-trout, measured
three feet m length and weighed twenty
four pounds.

mer and D. Ii. liice, of this city, ner-
lormed the operation. Mr. Osborue
stood the otieration nobly, and will
doubtless get along all right.
The Drift Cut. The drift iust
below the Crabtree ford on the Sautiam

Hopes are entertained that the body
may yet Ihj found, lodged in the bottom

Alas ! too Tkck ! Every person
