' M 1 4.1 1. 4.. 1 -.. gonians must admit that 90 was a fairly ..4.. year amongst our prosperous farmers, , Aud the people generally, The raging floods of last winter in the Willamette left very few traces of irre parable disaster and bounteous crops succeeded the high water on the over flowed fields. East of the mountains the deep snows which were prolonged to an unusual period made no such havoc with Oregon live stock as pver- tooktbattf interest in Washington, Stockmep Tiave mostly recovered from (le losses incurred and are more fullv prepared with fodder for the next per iod of hardship which will evidently not come this year as thus far but six inches of snow have fallen on the Ore gon side of the bunch grass country, The prospects for '91 in our county. we JjiPver better. Gradually our peo ple aire waking up to the importance of enc "yaging moneyed immigration of thernfelligent sort which will cut up oillarger farms, establish new indus tries and inaugurate a solid and last ing era of development and prosper ity.

The lIBoard of Regents' of the State Agri cultural College were in session in this city on Wednesday and Thursday at the parlors of Hamilton, Job & Co.'s bank. Those present were: W. S. Ladd, Gov.

Mr. .B-assfieM, an extensive property owner at Newport and Seal Rock, in an interview said: 'Newport is having a steady, healthy growth." He says: "A subsidy has been rais'd for a motor line from Ya quina bay to Alsca bay, and although the company has two years in which to complete the road, I believe that the trains will bo running next sum mer. The distance is fourteen m.de3. A motor line is also to be constructed from Newport to Foulweather, a dis tance of six miles. The country around Yaquina bay is developing quite rapidly. The timber lands are being settled by Swedes and Nor wegians, and they are the class of men who stay by their holdings. This is one ot the hnest Iruit sections m ths state." Steamboat Racing. Steamboat racing is now practiced between rival captains on the Sound to an extent which boJes calamity to travelers up on those waters. Buc it must be con fessed that the -majority ot passengers upon these boats enjoy the racing, haying, in the excitement of the time, a blind confidence in the judgment of the officers. The relative speed of the boats is not determined by this dan gerous practice of racing. The cap tain who has ths least solicitude for his passengers may win with the inferior boat' The West Shore presents two suggestive illustrations one the ex plosion of a steamer, the other the imps of S.Uan d mcing on the margin of a lake of fire, tho destination of racing steamboat captains.

We have heard tell of people drinking "terrantular juice, "bug juice and "tamarack juice," "thrible XXX" and : "lime- water," and have known painters to drink their alcohol in stock, printers to drink their employers benzine, and, by the way. we have been keeping our eye on a voung lady hash adjuster in Pasco who creamed her coffee with concentrated lye the other day and is still alive, but the fellow that is en titled to the "pi" is the fellow that walked into Mr. McSweeney's saloon last night and delilierately downed the contents of a pint bottle of whiskey, gin, brandy or alcohol in which was being preserved the fossilized remains of a scorpion. "Scorpion juice" is the atet. II vou don't believe this, ask U. S. Marshal Watrus for the bottle con taining the proof. Pendelton Tribune. Letters. Advertised Jan. 2, 1891: H. A.
