uncommonly fat. A stranger freak rarely
occurs.

The Mexicans are beginning to kick
against the influx of the Chinese. By a
law recently enacted by the Mexican con
gress, every steamer or sailing vessel land
ing biiiiismsii in inai country must pay an
import tax of $65 per head. But in spite
of this oppressive tax, the Celestial will
continue to push his way in.
The outlook for'hops this year is good,
il 4.1 hi Tt a rm m
says me oeaitie rust, ine vines have a
luxuriant growth, and promise a heavy
yield. The acreage is great, and the pro-
net will be enormous. Hops of the growth
f 1883 were sold last week to the quantity
of 100 bales at 27 cents a pound. At this
rate, if realized for the crop of 1884, the hop
growers will do exceedingly well.
In the old settled states it used to be a
saying with the farmers who received credit
from the merchants that they would settle
their bills when they sold their wheat, says
the Ellensburg, W. T., Localizer. In this
valley business is done on a different prin
ciple. Pay day is promised when the pro
ducer sells his wool or his cattle. Wheat is
a legal tender in some places, but the price
is so ruinously low that it goes but a little
way in liquidating hills. 1
