TUM TUH PRECINIT
Extends from the divide between
Little Elk creek and the Yaquina on
the north to the divide between Big
Elk and the Alsea on the south, and
from the mouth of Little Elk to a
point a little west of Blodget's valley,
being about io miles from north to
south, and aboat 12 twelve miles from
east to west, bounded by Summit on
north, by King's Valley and Philomath
on the east, and by Elk city precinct
on the west. Little Elk creek rises
near the center portion of the precinct
and passes out at the north-east cor
ner, Big Elk rises in the south-east
corner of the west and south-west
slopes of Mary's Peak and runs west
passes into Elk city precinct. Then
again a fork of Mary's river known as
Shot Pouch rises on the north-west
slope of Mary's Peak runs north some
distant when it turns suddenly to the
south-east. At the extreme northern
point the Turn Tum enters from the
west. Bordering this is a very pretty
little mountain valley laying high and
extending to the Summit toward Lit
tle Elk, the valley of which lays much
lower and has some wide fertile bot
toms, that have been in cultivation for
a number of years. The bottom land
on Big Elk river is the widest of any
of the coast streams. On Deer creek
Wolf creek and up the spout on the
north and several streams on the
south of the rivers is a great deal of
fertile bottom and the surrounding
hills have an open yield a great deal
of feed for stock. Along the Big Elk
and some of the tributaries are settlers
that are making good farms, and there
is room for more. This valley is to
some extent isolated as there is but
one road into the upper end ' of the
valley, although there is nothing in the
way of a good road down the river to
Elk City; shot pouch where lower
down is known as a fork of Mary's
river has some wide bottoms mostly
covered wsth cherry brush, most of
this is in cultivation but lavs high and
is subject to biting frosts. Mary's
Peak is situated at the southeast cor
ner of the precinct and also marks
northeast corner of Alsea precinct,
rises to a height of 4000 feet, and
mostly snow covered until August.
The summit of the Peak is bald and
covered with the finest native grass
found any where, the top is crescent
shaped and contains about 300 to 400
acres of open land which is owned by
William Wyatt and is used by him for
a horse pasture during the summer
months. The timber like other por
tions of the mountain country has been
burned. There was formerly a great
deal of cedar timber of the better qual
ity which has been largely used for
shingle making. This has been the
chief dependence of many of the early
settlers for'supplying the"wants of their
families until their land could be
brought into cultivation, their table
being" supplied with venison formerly
plentiful on all the hills, while their
groceries and necessary clothing was
procured in exchange for a load of ce
dar shingles.
Stock raising is from year to year
growing in importance the people
having to depend upon the increase of
their flocks to stock their ranches
which is naturally slow at the start.
Many small fields of the tame grasses
are seen; from these the seed is procur
ed to extend their pastures. But lit
tle grain is produced as yet ezcept for
home use. Beef and mutton have
been to considerable extent furnished
to the Corvallis and other markets and
of late much wood has been disposed
of. The capabilities of the precinct
especially for stock raising is fully
equal to any other portion of the raoun
tain country.
The population is about 250, The
opportunity for taking farmes are fully
as good as any other 'portions of the
country. The people are greatly in
need of a postoffice, as there is not one
in the precinct, most of the people re
eceiving their mail at Philomath 20 to
30 miles distance by the route travel.
There three school houses 1 back
in Little Elk, on short ponch and in
Big Elk valley, Religous excereises
are irreulary held in the school and at
pnvate houses of the settlers. The
supplies are drawn from either Cor
vallis or Philomath as there is on
store within the precinct.
The following contains a list of the
names of the persons paying tax upon
property in the Tum Tum precinct
No. 12, and the amount of tax paid
each, as shown by the last assessment
roll for Benton County.

OREGON WHEAT.
Oregon wheat is known the wovld
over t for its superb quality and
fineness of bei ry and on this account
it commands the highest prices 111 the
Liverpool market. The average
weight of Oregon Wheat is 63 lbs
per bushel. It is excelled by no
other wheat produced the world
over in quality and only equalled by
one the New Zealand in weight.
It is therefore interesting to know
that the wheat production of Ore
gon is rapidly increasing. Accord-
ng to the official returns California
in 1S79 produced 29 million bushels
of wheat and Oregon but seven and
a half million bushels, but in 1882
Oregon raised nearly thirteen million
bushels to California's thirty-four
and a half million bushels. Now
whereas in 1882 California had a
splendid harvest, that of Oregon was
if anything below average, so that
we may reasonably expect that if
Oregon should have an average yield
per acre this year, what with tbe
immensely increased area there will
be under cultivation, the yield should
be close upon fifteen million bushels,
or probably half of what California's
crop will be. Oregon is fast creeping
up on her large and rich neighbor
and no doubt ere long will be even
with her. A few years ago it was
supposed that wheat eould not be
grown to advantage east of the Cas
cades and that the bunch grass land
was merely adapted for stock farm
ing, but within the last few years
immense quantities ot grain have
been produced there And wheat too
of the very finest quality. Last year
more than a quarter of the wheat
crop of Oregon was raised east of
the Cascades and the soil which but
a few years ago was supposed to be
unsuited for the culture of wheat
produces from 20 to 40 bushels per
acre. The Walla Walla valley is
mostly in cultivation and producing
as fine wheat and of as good quality
as any country in the world. Walla
Walla valley is but an infinitessimal
portion of Eastern Oregon; an im
mense region of virgin soil which is
capable of producing 20 to 40 bushels
wheat to the acre. This country is
open to settlement and will soon be
opened up by the construction of the
Oregon Pacifio Railroad, which will
bisect Eastern Oregon on its way
from Yaquina bay on the Pacific to
Boise City in Idaho. Oregon con
tains ninety-five thousand square
miles and two thirds of this vast area
lies east of the Cascades. Last year
Kfa'gon bad about 800,00.0 acres in
wheat which produced nearly 13,
000,000 bushels, or fuliy 16 bushels
to the acre.
The average amount of wheat pro
duced per acre in the . whole United
States during the last ten years was
13 bushels per acre. In 181 which
was considerably below average as
regards yield there were 37,709,020
acres sown in wheat in th8 United
States which produced only 380,280,
000 bus. or an average of a little over
10 bushels to the acre. Tbe average
amount ot wheat produced in Ore
gon in 1882 whs 64 bus. per head of
population and in the United States
but 25 bushels. Oregon produces
more wheat per head than any other
State in the Union. There are mil
lions of acres in Oregon not yet in
I cultivation which will produce large
crops of wheat. Now just suppose
that 5 million acres of the (in round
numbers) 60 million acres which
Oregon contains should be in wheat,
which I certainly believe ia possible,
and that these five millions of acres
should average-sixteen bushels per
acre the present average of Oregon,
then Oregon alone would produce
eighty millions of bushels or 28 mil
lions more than Illinois whioh is at
present the largest wheal producing
state in the Union. It is difficult to
realise what a great future awaits
this naturally most favored state.
Not one eighth of her wheat lands
are yet in cultivation, her mines are
undeveloped, her huge forests are
still otauding, her running waters
are yet unutilized to one tenth of
their capacity. In fact nothing but
capital and population are needed to
make this state the grandest and
richest in the union.

PECK'S BAD EOT.
A Bad Boy in a Drue Store Tries all Hefil
claesjon the "Old Man."
Milwaukee Sun J
Said the grocery man, as he went
up to the boy, snuffed a couple of
times and then held his band to his
nose:
"The Board of Health will kero
sene you if they ever smell that smell,
and send you to the glue factory.
What business have you got into to
make you smell so rank ?"
"Well, you see, pa began to think
it was time I learned a trade or a
profession, and he saw a sign in a
arrng store window, 'Boy wanted,'
and 83 he had a boy he didn't want
he went to the druggist and got a
job for me. This smell on me will
go off in a few weeks.
You know, I wanted to try all the
perfumery in the store, and after I
had got about forty different extracts
on - my clothes another boy that
worked there he fixed up a bottle of
benzine and assafetida, and brimstone,
and a whole lot of horrid stuff, and
labeled it "rose getanium," and I
guess I just wallered in it. It is aw
ful, ain't it? I kerflummixed ma
when I went into the dining-room
the first night that I got home from
th'e store, and broke pa all up. The
air seemed fixed around where I am
and everybody seemes to know who
fixed it. A girl came in the store
yesterday to buy a sachet, and there
wasn't anybody there but me, and I
didn't know what it was, and I took
down everything in the store pretty
near before I found it, and then I
wouldn't have found it only the pro
prietor came in. The girl asked the
proprietor if there wasn't a good deal
of sewer gas in the store, and he told
me to go out and shake myself.
Well, she told me a sachet was some
thing for the Btummiok, and I
thought a nursing bottle was the
nearest thing to it."
"I should think you would drive
all the customers away from the
store," said the grocery man as he
opened the door to let in the fresh
air.
"I don't know but I will, but I am
hired for a month on trial, and I
shall stay. You see, I shan't prac
tice on anybody but pa for a spell.
I made up my mind to that when-, 1
gave a woman some salts insteavl of
powdered borax and she came back
mad. Pa seemed to want to en
courage me, and is willing to take
anything I ask him. He had a sore
throat aud wanted something for it,
and the boss drogger told me to put
6ome tannin and chlorate of potash
in a mortar and grind, and I let pa
pound it with the mortar, and while
he was pounding I dropped in a
couple of drops of sulphuric acid,
and it exploded and bio wed pa's hat
clear across the store, and pa was
whiter than a sheet. He said he
guessed his throat was all right, and
he wouldn't come near me again that
day. The next day pa came in and
I was laving for him. I took a white
seidletz powder aud a blue one and
dissolved them in separate glasses,
and when pa came in I asked him it
he didn't want some lemonade, and
he drank it. He said it wai too sour
and I gave bim the other glass.
that looked like water, to take the
taste out of his mouth, and he drank
I it. Well sir, when those two pow
ders got together in pa's stomach,
and began to siz and steam and
fnam, pa neaily choked to death, anil
the suds came out of his nostrils, and
his eyes stuck out, and as soon as he
could get his breath he yelled "fire,"
aud said he was poisoned, and called
for a doctor, but I thought as long as
we had a doctor right in the family
there was no use of hiring one, so I
got a stomach-pump and 1 would
have had him bailed out in no time,
only the proprietor came in and told
me to go and wash some bottles, and
lie gave jia a drink of brandy, aud pa
said he felt better.
Pa has learned where we keep the
liquor, and he comes in two or three
limes a day with strain in bis stom
ach.
They play awful tricks on a boy in
a drug store. The first day they put
a chunk of somethin sort of bluo into
a mortar, and pulverize it and make
it up into two-grain pills. Well, sir,
I pounded that chunk all the fore
noon, and it never pulverized at all,
and the boss told me to hurry up, as
the woman was waiting for the pills
and I mauled it till I was nearly-
dead, and when it was time to go to
supper the boss come and looked into
the mortar and took out "the chunk
and said: "You have been pounding
all day on a chunk of India rubber,
instead of blue mass!" Well, how did
I know? But I will get even with them
if I stay long enough, and don't you
forget it. If you have a prescriptiou
you want filled you come down to
the store and 1 will put it up for
you myself, then you will be sure to
jet what you pay for." "Yes," said
the grocery man, as he cut off a piece
of Limburger cheese and put it on
the stove to purify the air in the
room; "I should laugh to see myself
taking any medicine you put up."

THINK OF YOUR HOMES.
(Written by a special temperance correspondent).
The man that makes drunkards is
a murderer, and every drunkard is a
self murderer. You have two sweet
little boys. How you love fhem.
How often you press their cheeks
and foreheads with your lips, you
hug them to your bosom, and you
implore heavens highest blessings up
on them. You desire them to escape
the tempters snare. Soon thy are
out on the stage of action. You hear
the tramp of footmen some night on
he sidewilk, you hear steps to the
door and are horror stricken to find
that these men are bringing home
your son murdered by the hand of an
assassin; the boy is innocent ha had
nothing to do with his death, he is
pure and highly esteemed, he has
lived respected and he dies regreted
he is bourn to the masonic or odd
fellows cemertry for you as his father
may belong to one or both of these
orders, and his remains receive a de
cent interment amid tears and cries
of anguish for his untimely death.
Let us look after the other boy, he
lives a littl1 longer in this world; ho
may out live you, father and mothei
may both be dead, or may be sepcr
ated by time and distant. This boy
has fell victim into the hands of the
drunkard maker" and they have hur
ried him along to the broad road to
deat h robbing him of his time talent,
money and morrals; they have sent
the messenger of death into his blood
corrupting his soul and body, send
ing his body to the grave permature
ly. thus killing him, and hurling his
soul into the regions of the drunk
ards hell. This boy dies a drunk
ard he has been murdered he is
buried as an outcast. All alone for
father and mother are gone. Now
contrast the case of these two sons,
the man that killed the first did it all
alone, he held no license in his hand
signed by honorable men to justify
him in his work, the victim had noth
ing to do with his death, there is but
one guilty character in the whole
trauaction and that is the assassin.
Not so with the other case, the boys
death was brought about for his mon
ey. That is jus; what the highway
men kill men for it is for their money.
The vendor of ardent spirits as a
beverage is a enrse to his race and
his death would be a blessing to his
generations, yea and to unborn gen
erations. He will have a fearful ac
count to give, let hold ou to his li-

cense, take ic with him to his grave,
and take it with him to tbe Bar of
God, yea and take tbe petitions with
the petioners names attached thereto,
he will need them all, and yet it is
written on the pages of God's word
"Woe unto'liim that giveth'his neigh
bor drink, that putteth the bottle to ,
him and maketh him drunken also."
The commendations of God are
against the man tha are in this bus
iness. Is it not strange that a chris
tian nation will tolerate what wo
know to be a curse to society and to
our children. We must strike for
our homes and native land.
Here is a quotation taken from
Miss Francis F. Willards address:
At one lime during the war, th
opposing armies lay idle close beside
each other, only the waters ot thc
Rappehannock dividing tbem.
And every time the Union band
would strike up "The Star Spangled
Banner," or other strain sweet to the
boys in blue, a confederate band
would oppose it with "Dixie," or
some kindred sentiment. Tired ot
the contest, both would subside into
quiet. But one evening a long bu
gler sat musing on the scenes about
the Northern fireside, where they
missed him. Instinctively he placed
the bugle to his lips and piped alonn
the mellow strains of "Home Swept
nome." Yet only a moment did
the dear boy play alone. His com
rades picked up their instruments of
music and shared his reverie of home.
A moment more and, hark! what
note is it that comes over the swif&
waters) Not "Dixie" now, not 6thei
discord, but the loved harmony of
"Home, Sweet Home,"' that is al
ways the same all ronnd the world.
Then up and down each river-bank
it sproad till, if tradition says right
all bands of both armies were har
moniously fiilling the fields with the
blessed recollections that every man
in all those ranks had a home ho.
loved and would see happy.
TO PRESERVE WOOD,
A writer in an exchange says: "I
discovered many years ago that
wood could be made last much long
er thasy iron in the ground, bir,
thought the process so simple that it
was not well to make a stir about it.
I would as soon have poplar, bass
WOOI li or any other kind of timber
tor fence posts. I have taken our.
basswood posts after having been
set seven years that were as sound
when taken out as when first put in
to the ground. Time and weather
seemed to have no effect on them.
The posts can be prepared for les
than two cents a piece. This is tho
recipt: Take boiled linseed oil and
stir in pulveriied coal to the consis
tency of paint. Put a coat of thW
over the timber, and there is no man
will live to see it rot."
SILENT MEN.
Washington nevef made a speecK
In the zenith of his fame he attempt
ed it, failed and confessed ashamed.
In framing the constitution of the
United States, the labor was entirely
preformed in the committee of th
whole, of which Washington wa
chairman; he made two speeches dur
ing the convention, however, ac
knowledged the master spirit, and
historians affirm that, had it not been
for his great popularity, and the fir.t
thirty words of his speech, announ
cing the best that could be united upmi
the constitution would have been r-
jeeted by the people. Thomas-Jeff
erson never made a speech. ll
couldn't do it. Napoleon, whos
exeutive ability is almost without
parallel, said that his greatest difii -culty
was finding men of deed3 ra ther
than words. When asked ho
he maintained his influence over hi
superiors in age and experience when
commander-in-chief of an army in
Italy, he said by reserve. The
greatest of man is not measured by
length of his speeches and their num
ber. Mr. Frank Moffat has described to
the Edinburgh Photographic Society
a process for obtaining photographs
by moonlight whoh he has success
fully tried. A picture exhibited
shows a house r.nd trees very dis
tinctly, while the differences in kiVi I
on a grassy lawn may be 4fettly
