Sells Brothers' circus will close their season at San Diego on lb 13th of this month, ud and will then disband fur lb season. It it reported that Freino has been selected m the place to winter the atock and animal. Stockton and Sao Jos aie also being taken into consideration by tbe circus. During the winter ail tbe horses and Mock are to be turned out on a range, and large sheds will be built for bousing tbe menagerie. As there are 400 bead of horses, besides a large number of animals, to be cured for, tbe ooat of maintaining winter quarters is a large item. Tbe last large show that wintered ou the Coast was Montgomery Queen's. Sell's cir ca started tbe present season in Kentucky in April, and bare in tbe pant seven months been over tbe entire Northwest, including British Columbia. In tbe kike peninsulars tuey entered region never before visited by circuses. Tbe route followed by this cir cuit this seaaon is the hardest know iu this eouutry The season has beeu an unusually profitable one to the propietor. Tbey will sturt tbe next season iu California and then work eastward. A Fin i SiiuwrNa. Statesman. S. A. Clarke yesterday finished gathering and dry iug the product of hid 25-acre fruit farm south of Salem, and bus reason to be well satisfied wiih the result having dried and packed fifty thousand pouuds of the finest prunes that will touch tbe market from any section this year. The season for caring for fruit hits been four or five weeks louger than usual, tbe peach plums ripening early in July, instead of tbe firat of August as is com mou, while his latest gathering heretofore was September 27th. Tims the early varie ties matured earlier and tbe later one were longer in ripeuing. His French prunes, tbe "Petite" were especially tine and prolific, two acres of young trees producing five thousand pounds. A visit U Mr. Clarke's farm, eveu at this time when the trees have been shaken and torn in this season's exper ience, is convincing to the moat skeptical of tbe possibilities of Oiegon iu the fruit Hue. It is located upon a red, clay hill, so high as to command one of the most extend ed and delightful views the eye could wish to behold, reaching across the bills and val leys of Polk county, down the sweep of tbe Willamette river for miles, east ward iu un interrupted landacnpe all over Marion coun ty, and revealing in the upper story of the soene all tbe suowoap of tbe Cascade range in Oregon snd Washington. On the top ol this hill was grown all fruits besides the thousands ol bushels thitt were plucked and thrown away early in tbe season to give tbe remaiuder s cbauoe.

Piukbart addisised a Urge gathering at Ferdinand, where only one Republican lives, and they captured him so Ferdinand township now has no Repub lican in ber 3G5 voters. Ooboco Review: C. Woodward, of Bridg Creek, was in town Thursday. He reports times very dull in Uitcneii ana vicinity. Tbe creeks, Mr. Woodward says, are atuioai dry, and in bridge creek there is not sumVient wter to turn the flouting mill at Mitchell. He was compelled to bring bi wheat to Prineville to have it ground, aud saya un less there are heavy rain soou, the mill there will not be able to grind this fall and th people of that seotiou will be forced to come bore tor ihetr flour.

The bank will be sloped by a hydraulic hose attached to a steam pump and the slope then covered with a brush mattress, through which willows will be planted. Willows will also be planted along the crest of th slope and it is expected tbut this will effectually prevent tbe river from making any more en croachments there.
