Led up at the various railroad stations in

says the Pendleton Tribune. It seems to
us that while a little moisture in this diy
climate will help rather than injure the
sacked grain, too much exposure, will
injure it. Warehouses are being con
structed all the time and our storing ca
papacity is immensely larger than before,
but the production increases more than
proportionately and the gram contrives to
pile.

In conversation with Mr. Wilson wild
has just returned front a trip turough the
Palous country, it is learned that the
great wheat yield, both for quantity and
quality, is the best ever known there.
The average yield throughout is estimated
at not less than forty bushels per acre, in
some cases running fifty and sixty, and
in no cae known is it less than thirty-
five. The berry is plump and hard and
the yield generally quite clean. Barley
has in some instances run as high as 100
bushels per acre. "The late rains did
some damage to grain in the stack, but
not as mnch as -was at first feared. Farm
ers are generalfy jubilant and'never felt
better over the prospects. Most of them
are in a condition to hold on to their grain
until the market "develops ahd express

"Have any of you found a binknote?"
inquired a man in a wild-eyed excitement
as he hurridly approached a knot of loun
gers at the Union depot yesterday morn
ihg-.
"Have jou lost one?" a-sked an elderly
stranger of bland and sedate appearance,
"Yes, yes ; have you found it?"
" Waita moment. What was its denom
inaiion?"
"It was a0 dollar bpl National bank
note.." ""
The stranger leisurely drew a roll of
bills from his pocket, looked them over,
took one out, and pawed it over Jto the
excited individual, remarking with much
urbanity as ho did so:
"It is well for you, my friend, that it wits
found by an honest man. I picked it up
a few minutes ago, and take the pleasure
i'i giving back to you what I am satisfied
is your proprty." '
"Thank'jou, sir; thank you. It's 'my
turn now to tto the fair thing. Here's a
$10 bill. You shan't refuse' it. Take it.
f-ntrVtkc-tr,-b-.liJ-,;i-A-,J Kart: .
The stranger,, thus urged, took the
money, and the grateful individual walk,
edoff with his $50. Ho was considerably
surprised lo learn.a few hours later,'-, that
the bill was not the one ha had lost at
all, but a counterfeit. He is nowjlooking
for -the bland and elderly stranger,
but there are reasons for doubting his
success in finding him.
Worth Considering. The' following,
from a California exchange, is worth con
sidering here : The owner of from 1G0 to
2 000 acres of land in this township, says
the Livermore Herald, who sells from ten
to twenty at res of it to an Eastern man
wi hin the next two months does a wise
thin.; for himself. First, he interests in
his locality a family, who havo probab
a nitmber of friends and relatives who
are coming to the state, and will -desire
to settle near by. Second, tho purchaser
will build, and begin to plant his pur
chase in vines and fruit, Third, tho fact
of you Felling one piece, will advertise
thd fact that your land is in tho market,
and that someone wants it; at a higher
price than grain growing would warrant.
Or in short -the selling of one piece of
your land opens the way for the disposal
of the remainder, at an advance, and
moreover, it keeps pso pie who are look
ing for homes in this valley, who would
otherwise go further. ' Don't be afraid
then, to nell your land-a piece at a time,
und'at a. fair price.

Mrs.- M.ickay, the wife of the rich

of paradise! 'These birds are sold at thir
ty nhillings each ; the breast is about four
inches broad aud about six long at rtho
greatest length, and nearly heart-shape;
the upper portion is about an inch and a
half deep and is like the finest plushf in
color a deep seal brown ; the color shades
oLTbelnwtd a pinky terracotta. About
five hundred birds will bo necessary to
furnish enough for the cloak, and to
secure them Mrs. Mackay has dispatched
two pkillful'marksmen to New Guinea,
and tlK-y are now engaged in the whole

but th'o work' of destruction will bo so

will be found.
