Will Bros, have just received a large .shipment of the latest improved sewing machines, including the Eldridge, acknowl edged by sewing machine experts to be the lightest running machine in the market. The Eldridge is a new machine and has many good qualities over all others which must be seen to be appreciated. It is no trouble to show the good qualities of our machines to parties who contemplate pur chasing. Old machines taken in exchange. Already Northern Pacific trains run through snow fields at intervals all the way from Idaho to St. Paul. The snow is no where deep, but these early falls are a fore taste of what mvy be expected later on. While there wiH certainly be difficulty in operating the road after storms in Montana and Dacota, it is not likely that there will be serious blockades. The methods which keep the roads open in Minnesota and the other Northwestern states will, without doubt prove effective on the Northern Pa cific An exchange says: A recent discovery on the head of Cowlitz river establishes the fact that Washington Territory can now boast of the grandest cataract in the world, its height being 1500 feet. The Nooksack Indians assert positively that waterfalls higher than the tallest pine, fir or cedar trees are to be found on the extreme head waiters of the Naoksack river. That section of the country has never yet been explored by the white man. From the comparison given by these Indians these falls must be at least 475 feet in height, which would lay over the famous Snoqnalmie falls of King county by at least 200 feet. Insane. Deputy Sheriff, J. W. Ball, arrived in Corvallis last Saturday, having in custody Newton Pool who was violently insane. Mr. Pool is an old resident of Yaquina Bay and has a family.

Salmon Spawn in San Water. It has been ascertained that the spawn, thrown from the salmon being put up at the fisheries ou this river, says the Coquille City H'rall, is hatching and filliuj up the stream with a new stock of salmon. It has been a prevailing opinion for years, that the fisheries on this coast would eventually get away with all the salmon, but now it turns out that they are advantageous to propagation. Salt water, it wn thought, would pickle the spawn, but from that thrown ovei-boaril at the cannery, it is said, the water is moving mass of young sal mon. Read, Read Bentn County. The series of articles which we published during the first of be year in the Gazette from week to week descrihuBg iientuii county by voting precints containing a list of the tax payers of the county with the amount of tax paid by each, we now have for tale at this office bound in pamphlet form.

The Indians on the reservation are catch ing immense quantities of salmon and sell in; them on the streets. Fine large fish weighing 8 or 10 pounds can be bought for twenty cents. Since the completion of the Northern Pa cific Railrcad the steamers plying on the Sound have been doing an increased frieght business. Most of the steamers leaving here are generaly loaded with merchandise. Te Use of Milk. The Medical Record says: "No one who fatigued bv over-exertton of body and mind has never experienced the reviving influence of a tumbler of this beverage, heated as hot as it can be sipped, will willing forego a re sort to it because of its being rendered some what less acceptable to the palate. The promtness with which its cordial influence s felt, is indeed, surprising. Some portion of it seems to be digested and appropriate almost immediately, and many now who fancy they need alcoholic stimulants when exausted by fatigue, will find in this ample draught an equivalent that will be abund antly satisfying and far more enduring in its effects." As a rule, farmers make too little use of milk. Sweet skimed milk is the very best beverage for theot and their chil dren, and if warmed and sipped gradualy is as stated by the Record, both nutritious and agreeable. This we know from long daily habit, and skimmed milk we know to be better than whole milk in this respect. To avoid any possible ill effects from over loading the stomach with it, and permitting it to curdle in a mass, it is well to sip it slowly, and also eat a few morsels of dry bread or a soda biscuit with a glass of it. Taken in this way, instead of any other snpper, will effectualy remove an attack of i biliousness. Insult to Injury. Arnsworth has the reputation abroad of being a hard town, but the following is the toughest we have yet heard: A few days ago Prof rssor Harmon, well known through out the Northwest as a barn storming ven triloquist, magician and general performer, visited that burg with a view of engaging in some sort of business there. He put up at the principal hotel, and lite all good moral men went to bed early. Having nothing to trouble his conscience, Harmon slept tha sleep of the just, and while he was snoring and dreaming of performances given to big houses some miscreant entered the room and abstracted from the professor's pantaloons a purse containing $250. The thief, not satisfied with this, stole the old gentleman '8 hat and boots and silently took his departure. When Harmon started to dress the next morning he discovered his loss, and making all haste he donned what clothing he had left and started for the office lo give notice of the preceding night's transactions. Ou reaching the foot of the stairs, bareheaded and barefooted and with out a penny in his pocket, he was met by a tramp, who in piteous accents asked for a "half" with which to get his breakfast. Up to this time Harmon had managed to keep his temper, but no sooner had the tramp stated his errand when the professor broke o&t into a rage, declaring Ains wort k the toughest town on record, Asserting to those gathered around that if Gabriel ever blew his trumpet over that town before the angel could cross the river his instrument would not only be stolen, but one-third of the population would be kicking because it was not more valuable. Walla W alia Union, How to Fertilize Fruit Trees. Here and there on all farms and in most fruit gardens will be seen an occasional tree or grape-vine, which seems to lack vigor does not grow well, and yet, seems to have no particular disease, says the Orange county Farmer. The probabilities are that the tree is dying of starvation And needs a liberal supply of food. When you give it this ration, do not pile a load of manure around the trunk of the tree or the body of a grape-vine. That is juat the place where it will do the least good. Nearest the trunk of the tree, the roots are all large. The fibrous roots the feeders are further off near the ends of the roots. These only can take ud the nutriment. It is always safe to assume that the roots extend as far from the trunk in every direction as do the limbs of the tree, and to properly fertilize, spread the manure all over that area. Then fork it in and you have done a good work and done it well. If some -disease has be gun its work on the tree, you put the tree in a healthy, vigorous condition, the better enabling it to successfully contend against its enemies. We have seen numerous old pear and apple trees, bearing poor and gnarled fruit, which the owners consider of no value, but which such treatment as we have outlined above would restore to their original usefulness. Kalama Transfer. The inclines on both sides of the Colum bia river at Kalama are finished and in a week or so trains will regularly cross from Portland. It is the intention of the mana gers to run as many of the passenger coaches, as are necessary through from St. Paul to New Tacoma, though the Pullman sleepe-s, will not come further west than Portland, unless the time is so changed as to bring' a night run on the Pacific division, which is not probable. The Lillle E. Starbuck is overdue at Kalama with the big steel trans fer boat to be used there. She left New York on June -9th, end must have met with rough weather and consequently delays to be so long on the way. The transfer boat comes all ready to set up, but when one remembers that there are 52,400 separate pieces to be nicely adjusted together, he will not wonder that the contractor de manded six months in which to set her up. In the meantime a temporary transfer boat will be used. It is a lanre barge and will be towed by a steamer engaged for the purpose. Standard. Treatment of cattle Daring Winter. The farmer or breeder who most thor oughly understands how to prepare live stock for winter is he who makes it a point to get the largest possible amount of flesh upon the ribs during the summer, says the Chicago Live stock Journal. So, he who best understands his business during the winter is he who succeeds in maintaining all the flesh acquired during the summer, adding to this as far as he can. Cattle that go into winter in good flesh, if suitably pro tected fiom storms and cold, and properly fed, are easily kept up to the summer stan dard till mid-winter, and with suitable at tention the same will prove true of the remainder, up to the appearance of grass. The warmth of seven-twelfths of the year favors the interests of the feeder in the highest degree, both in the direction of put ting on flesh, and in retaining it; and it is only by inexcusable improvidences that the gain made during the larger and best half of the year is lost during the shorter and unfavorable half. The Market Kg. The style of market pig ha undergone a great change within a few years. The large 400 or 500 pound hog is now seldom found, says the Chicago Stock Journal. The over grown hog is no longer sought after, and pig-feeding has been more carefully studied of late years. Shrewd feeders have found that the older the hog, the more its carcass costs per pound. It is also found that the fief h of the large hoc is coorser and stronger and not as sweet and fiue-flovored, as a ten to twelve pound pig. It is true, the older and over-fatted hog yields more laid, but this does not carry profit with it, as lard often brings no higher price than the side pork. The inducement, therefore, to grow these large hogs no longer exists, and the 200 to 300 pound pig has displaced the 500 pound hog. Jacksonville Items. From the Sentinell.) ' The plastering in the lower story of the Court House is all complete and in the upper story it is also nearly finished. An attempt to break jail was made this week by Mellville, charged with larceny, but was checked in time by the interference of the jailor. The report now is that the railroad com pany have decided on taking what is known as the upper survey through Ashland. The depot will be on the Applegate farm. Probably the oldest who went east on the Pioneer train is George S. Nelson, of Che halem, Yamhill county; who is now in his 83 year. He came to Oregon in 18844. A letter from the foreman of the Siskiyou tunnel, received here yesterday, says that on the 25th inst. the drills in the heading of the south end struck stone coal. A few days ago a vein three feet in thickness was cut through from the north end. The teacher's Institute held at Ashland last week proved a success in every way. Messrs. E. B, McElroy, Prof. Thos. Van Scoy, M. G. Royal and School Superinten dent Wm. L. Coivig deserve credit for the successful meeting held. Articles of agreement were enteted into last week between the railroad company and Thomas Chavner by which the depot was located on the latter's land on Rogue River, just the. other side of the bridge. A town site is now being latd out and the place is likely to command a good trade from the location it is in. The Grand Central railroad depot has been located at least and the company have decided on putting it on the laud owned by C. W. Broback, C. Mingus, C. C. Beek man and 1. J. Phipps. It is on a corner owned by the four above mentioned parties but the depot property will be on the land owned by Broback. A town site will be laid out and property offered for sale.
