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. 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.
