Wheat Case.
The FtaUsmso aayai Doty Brothers, of
Kola, who lately failed, have a warehouao,
and have been receiving wheat from tho
farmers in tho icinity to the amoont of
16,000 bushels, iu per receipts' given, Meaara.
Ooorge Marshall 4 Co., of Oregon City,
claim to havo bought of Doty Brothers 5,000
bushels, for which pa) ment baa been made.
The fanners, however, claim the wheat, they
not harving sold or received payment thereon,
and in oid. -r to protect their rights, sued out
a writ of replevin. Mr. Marshall, wo under
stand, has commenced a counter action,
which will teat the rights of property. The
fanner are in possession, and it seems that
the amount iloea not tally with outstanding
receipt, there being a difference unaccounted
for of utar 4,000 bushela.
Valuable Land for Sale.
Mr. Clarke, of the Fajijieii, having re
moved from Marion County, offers to sell 640
acres of land situaUd at a point where the
Minto I'asa I'.oad leaves tho valley, in the
tnliUt of a thickly-Mtled ami very healthy
region, most of the land Iwing under feuco,
aud at least half of it can le madogood wheat
land at a cost of four or five dollars an aero
for clearing. It ia well wooded and watered,
ami ia a region unexcelled for health. The
improvements are of value to a new settler.
Price V.00 an acre. $2.00 an acre can be
left on annual payment for a term of years
at low intcre.it. This ia one of the beat land
trades to q made in the State. It it a favor
ite region for Gcrman8, aud several German
families could divide it among thera. It
would make an excellent ranch for iheep and

The SUrer Prune.
Our Oregon nurserymen disagrco very radi
cally about the silver prune, and while we be
lieve they nro honest in their various convic
tions, o give what they say with perfect
impartiality.
Mr. H. V. Prottyman, of F.ut Portland,
answers G, W. Waitings assault on his
"Silver Prune'' by tho following reloindcr;
Just hero I stop iu and empn.itic.illy deny
ever clippingany scionsfrom any trej standing
in A. L. Atucrnum'a orchanl. I received tho
scions cut from five tree standing in Alder
man's yard, and I further deny that these
trees were bought for Coo's Uoldcn Drop at
all. These trees came to Mr. Alderman,
marked "Columbia Plum." Mr. Walling
says that I have told tho rest of tho history,
myself. I havo told only n part of tho history,
but will now tell the rest so that tho publio
may see. tt ho is in tho right. Only a few days
a:o Mr.Wallinj called nt the residence of ,fr.
A. L. Alderman, and demanded that Alderman
give him a written sta'ement that tho trees
that I cliiiped scions from for Silver Prune
were tho same identical tree that ho (Alder
man) bought of Walling for Coo's Golden
Drop Plum. Mr. Alderman told Walling
that he could not do that for it would be a
false statement. Aldermau there and then
told Walling that tho treos called Silver
IVunc uamu to him marked Columlii Plum.
Walling then told Alderman that ho could
toll tho trecj of tho Silver Pruna an soon as
he set uyct on them, and lieiug familiar with
Coo's Gulden Drop, he could tell it wherever
ho u' it. Mr. Alderman took Walling out
intt tho garden among the Silver P'.ine trees
and Walling took hold of one of the Silver
Prune trees and saidi "This ia a Peach Plum,
and it ia a beautiful grower." If it hid liecu
Coo's Golden Drop Plum, why did not Mr.
Walling recognize the tree at once? The
aame duy that Walling was at Aldcrman'j, a
man by the name of Daniel llolmaii camo to
Mr. Alderman's ith somo of tho driul fruit
of Coo's Golden Drop Plum (f ion trees ho
had bought of Wall ng), and dried on n Plum
merilrc They compared them with the
Silver Prune, and Mr. Hotmail said that he
was s.itislied that they were entirely a differ
ent variety. Xow, I appeal to Mr. G. W,
Walling or anv other fruit crowcr in Oicgon, ,
if Cue's (toldeii Drup Plum la the same identi
cat fruit as the Silu-r Prune, why does not
Mr. Walling or Mr. "Enquirer' come for
ties
ward Willi sample nt dried toes liolileu
Drop Plum and prove to the public- that they
are nuo and tho same identical fruit; 1 horo
challenge and defy Mr. Walling or "Knouir

in flavor, and any ono who desires to teat till
new fruit can do so by addressing me at K.itt

1 Doubled Its Rates.
.Since the reception of the news de

contly at tho mouth of the Columbia
river, tho lTndrwriters Insurance Com
ji my, of Boston, Ins doubled the rates of
iiii.iimnrrt fnr wviodon Hbins frokini tbft

virtually confine tho trado from this
port to IlritUh bottoms, which are. most

have remains to be seen.

Mrs. Ann Mullms, of Canemali, who
dislocated, her ankle somo six weeks
ngo, met with another mishap on tho
1st inst. She was moving about on
crutches' when she again fell and sus
tained injuries to Mich an cctcut that it
w-u.s ilet'inoil aih Ltihlo to take her to the
hospital at Poitland.
NavlRatlon Imposslbla-
Engineer Kaiturci: is said to be of the
opinion that Kogue river cannot be ren
dered navigable by the expenditure ol
any sum of money Congress may
ice fit to appropriate for the purpose.
His recent experience in the premises
seems to be evidence enough of this, and
he will report accordingly. This fact is
to be deplored, for it cuts off one hope
Southern Oregon may have entertained
for an outlet to the sea.
Extra Servloc,
The additional tri-weckly service for
the transportation ol third class matter
on the Roscburg and Reading route is
now being perfotmed, says the Jackson
vllle Times. An extra stage runs from
Roscburg to Canyonvillc three times a
week. Frtm the latter place to Yreka
the regular stages afford ample accom
modations for the carrying of all kinds
ot mail matter, and from Yreka to Read
ing the extra stage is again brought into
use. This plan it said to work success
fully.
A Fiendish Ontrnce.
From the Walla Walla Watchman we
clip the following: Pcllisier, a French
man and o'd settler, living at the Four
Lakes, in (Stevens county, returned last
week from a trip to Colvillc, and found
his little girl, about to years old, left to
take care of the house, stark dead, her
body fiendishly outraged and mutilated,
and her tongue split in three different
places. No clue as yet to the perpetra
tor of this fearful deed. Some suspect an
Indian, others a white man, but may the
guilty wretch find a speedy doom.

ference of 1.1,000 bushels uuiinccotinted

Marshall without weighing it, trusting
that to Mnrshall. Fitun tho above facts
it appears that there is something nidi

someone hits leenpluying the rascal quite
boldly. Hither Doty has sold tho far

trading into Htulwin's buy, luwt boon held
at tho City Terminus Hotel in Victoria,
under tho prcMik-ucy of the Right Hon.
G. J. Goshen, M. P., Governor. The
committee ivx)rted that the result of the
fur salo held in September List exhibited
an improvement in prices which amount
ed to about X5.000 on the total of l'3d,-
000 when compared with the correspond
lifjt priciwof last yniar. On the Leaver
and some other kind of furs the prices
had improved from ten to liftesm er
cent. The sales of tho bulk of the out
lit of 1877 had still to bo ellVctcd, aud
that while the committee were glad that
bomit improvement had taken place iu
tho demand for furs, they found it im
possible to forecast tho probable issue of
tho Spring sale,.. Under the present
circumstances they would not bo justified
in recommending tho puymwit of an in

Almost a Riot
Nearly a riot occurred in Astoria yes
terday, says the Astorian of the 4th inst.,
incident to the practice of snow-balling,
which is in itself an innocent amusement
if not abused. The attacking of de
fenseless celestials by a large class of
boys and boy-men, led to troubles which
should have been nipped in the bud by
prompt intcifercncc on the part of the
police, and thus saved the city a disgrace
which we are pleased to say: It was no
worse.
