News Summary. Blackleg has made its appearance among the cattle near Prineville. Bake: City has about 2500 inhabi tants, according to the new census. The usual amount of fruit is goiag to waste in Oregon this season for want of attention. The fall immigration to Oregon has about commenced. Teams are arriv ing daily in Baker City. Wheat is arriving in Portland at the rate of 100 carloads per day, but most ol it is going into warehouses. Four thousand bushels of wheat, 1500 bushels of barley and 500 bush els of outs were threshed on the Sim coe reservation government farm this season. It is said that Henry Villard has se cured the proxies of the German stock holders of the Northern Pacific, and is again likely to become president of Seventy-five men are engaged in building the jetty at the mouth of the Columbia. S. B. Barker, of Brownsville, has on exhibition at the postcft r e ot that cit; a curiosity in the shape of a natural bow that has elicited the examination of th. people i-i that vicinity. It is a vin maple about eight feet in length ha the curves of an ordinary Indian bow. and, strange to say, is already strung with a slender limb that grows out o one end into the other so perfect! that at first sight it would be quite dif ficult for one to detect at which end the limb began. The bow is abou: three inches tnick anJ the string part is about one-fifth of that thickness, and is strong e.iough to ahoot an arrow 200 yards. The wheat fields of Yamhill county are not returning the large yield ex pected. Re. orts from seven farmers living in the vicinity of McMinviile, the garden land of the county, and for friends, country, home.

Oat fields yield immensely, and this in connection with the large hay crop harvested, has put Yam nil comity on a war footing, so far as lurnishing for age for anv number of cavalry horses is concerned. In fact, notwithstanding the somewhat disappointing yield of. wheat, citizens of that county are well fixed for war in Europe. ojrt 3,2 3:las CORRESPONDENT. (from Anton Kufeke & Co. flour Merchants.)

Farmers are goin? to get through i show an avesage yield of a little 'eS8idaijy their harvest this year three or tour weeks earlier than usual. It will give them a chance to get their fall work done up before the fall rains set in. Fred. S. Rollinson, the man whom Fred. Merrill, of Portland, recently de feated in a bicycle race at San Fran cisco, was last week comnittcd to the California insane asylum. There has been no rain in Arizona since December, and by reason of it there is a stampede fr m the c untry which is only equalled by that which took place from Kansas in i860, when the rain ceased to fall for nine month.,. John Exon, a fisherman of Astoria, has commenced deep-sea fishing. Leaving Shoalwater bay last week in an Oysterville plunger, he made two hauls, crossed over the Columbia bar next morning and landed at Astoria with nearly a ton of soles, flounders and other kinds of fish. A Michigan farmer tells how he manages to conquer Canada thistles by the help of his 200 sheep. He puts a small handful of salt at the roo' and the sheep eat the thistle close to the ground. The salting is repeated as often as may be necessary, and the thistles seldom appear the second year.- Salem Statesman: It is said that Superintendent Brandt, of the O and C. Railroad, has been ordered to re duce expenses 25 per cent., in pursu ance of which it is said the force of em ployes will be reduced all along the line. The reduction will probably not be made until the last of the month. A Salem paper says: Last week A Cadvvell was discharged from the asylum and immediately starte I for the east, where he has arrived before this. People here will remember dis tinctly the pecularity of his case. He robbed his bi other's store of several thousand dollars' worth of goods, and escaped a ten-year's sentence to the penitentiary by the ''in-anity dodge" and gets off with seven months in the asylum. Pendleton East Oregonian: In the upper portion of the county some ex cellent yields of wheat are reported. Momoe Kirkland will get 40 bushels an acre; Reeder & Bostwick 31 bush els an acre from 320 acres; J, S. White 30 bushels an acre from 80 acres, and 2000 bushels of barley from 60 acres; James McEwan 4200 bushels from 125 acres; J. I. Peck's crop averaged 40 bushels an acre; the Mansfield brothers' wheat yielded 30 bushels, and barley 56 bushels an acre; G. H. Reed's 260 acres averaged over 30 bnshels an acre; H. Key has over 45 bushels an acre in spite o,f his wheat being badly lodged, and Sam Purd gets only about 25 bushels an acre on account of damage done by showers. Salem Statesman: A farmer friend was in from Howell Prairie, the garden spot of Cregon, yesterday, and said Ik had been reading the reports ol la-ge yields of wheat. He wanted to tell the public something about some small yields as well. He said that James Kays, of Howell Prairie, had sixty acres that yielded fifteen bushels to the acre; Thos. Hubbard, a few miles north of Salem, had sixty acres that turned out only seven'bushels per acre; J. F. Anderson, of Howell Prairie, threshed the yield of a five-acre field and realized only seven bushels per acre, while the rest of the crop went twenty-one bushels to the acre; John Herren, of Salem Prairie, had a field of seventy acres that produced an aver age of seventeen bushels per acre. Taken as a whole the yield of this valley is. considerably below the aver age per acre of former years. sinesK after eating, when you have trou bled sleep etc, trunk you these are not temperance lectures to you; 'I hey ah toll yoa tnat you have been inteniper. ate, that you have transgressed some law, or laws and ought u return un mediately to the simple ways of tem perance, l'.iey guv you home lec tures home threats with the sword ot renroot. 1 hev announce the iact tnai you are destroying your ph) steal con stitution, and marring the peace and welfare of your mind.

Intemperance means excess more of a good thing than is necessary, it means thisjust as truly as it mean anything, we cannot reasonably expec to destroy the use of intoxicating drinks entirely, unless we destroy the many lorp.is of intemperance that lead to the use ol such drinks, especially by moral suasion. All species of intemperance grows out of a want of self control To be a temperance in in, a man must uastcr himself must be a brave, a noble coaquerer of every enemy within his own bosom. It is no small matter. It is the masterpiece of human attainments. For Sale! "Reason's whole pica ma, aT the joys of e;i"e.
