ATcitiboN, Kansas, Juno 1. A tcrrihlo
storm of wind nnd rnln paused over north
ern Kansas mid southern Nebraska last
evening, It extended through neatly tho
wholo northern tier of counties of tills
Mate, but was most violent between Illuo
ltapliln and Central Hlatlon, on tho Central
branch railroad, about 38 inllon apart. Tho
Hlorm moved In tho direction of n llttlo
north of east, nud panned into Nebraska
through Itlrlmrdion county. Tho town of
Irving, IK) miles west of this place, was
nearly destroyed. At that point tho storm
took on tho character of a cyclone, nnd lov
vied everything in its path. About forty
bulldlnuq wcro destroyed, l'iftccn persons
wore killed nnd 30 or 40 wounded. In tho
neighborhood of l'rankfort four or fivo farm
Louses wero blown over, nnd in tho town
several lionscn wero destroyed. At Ccntralla
Hovoral houses wero unroofed, nndono houso

barns blown down and crops damaged Ml
altmg the lino of tho storm. It is not un
likely that theso storms bad n common or
igin out on tho plains in 'Western Kansas,
and that somo local canto broko the orig
inal clouds into fragments; that separato
storms were formed from those, ono of which
traversed northern tier oounUrs in Kansas,
and another traveled eastward, striking tho
earth in Jackson county, Mo., thanco
moved northeast to Kfrksvlllo nnd beyond,
nud tho third and weakest ono of tho threo
passing over tho country in tho neighbor
hood of Ht. Joseph. A heavy rain fell horo
last night nnd to-day tho tcraperaturo is
nullo cold, requiring fires for comfort.
Heavy raiuH prevailed all over tho central,
southwestern nnd northwestern parts of this
Htnto, doing great bcncllt to wheat, corn ana

to pay it, but thfl $24,000 was paid by
Secretary Cliadwick, and tho suits
broucht acainst him must establish the
validity of theso payments or leave him
liablo tor tho same, personally.
Two suits aro brought against Wat
kinds, ono under each bond given by
him as Superintendent of tho .Stato Pris
on. Tho ground for them is that he
has never accounted for largo sums of
money received as hucli oflicor. Instead
of converting tho money into the ticas
ury, nnd making payments in tho usual
way, by voucher, vcty largo amounts
hnvo been expended for various liiatleic,
tho proceeds of prison labor having been
used without being accounted for ac
cording to law by regular vouchers and
treasury deposits and payments. Tho
Investigating' 'ommitto so report, and
theso suits aro instituted in ncconlanoo
with tiioir finding. All tho suits insti
tuted may bo considered as a demand
from tho Stato that those- officers make
an account ot their actii ana miner
statements to show that they havo mado
leral uso of tho funds entrusted to them,
which is not plainly shown by their
accounts.
Threo different suits aro commenced
against the Statu Hoard as follows i
From 1870 to 1874 against Grovcr,
Chadwick nnd i'leischncr, tho then Gov
ernor, Sccietnry and Treasurer; from
1874 to 1877 against Grovr-r, Chadwick
and A. II. Drown, tho thou existing
Stato officers, and from January, 1877,
to September, 1878, ngoinst Chadwick
and llrown, Grovcr having resigned.
Tho suits against theso officers demand
an accounting for all moneys entrusted
to them.
Iu addition to thu euveii suits already
commenced, suit will bo brought against
J. II. Hacklcman, lato Asst. Treasurer,
for $0,000 that it is claimed was ille
gally paid him ns salary. Hacklcman
did, during four years, extra work re
cording deeds mado by tho Stato that tho
evidence shows could havo been dono in

annum. Tins suit is, or will no brought
to recover back money that lie holds,
which it is claimed belongs to tho Stato.
Theso aro matters in which tho public

Only for tho dolinquonoy of Mr. Whit

HARVESTERS VB flKLrtUHDElg.
Cottaob Grove, Lane Co., I
May 20th, lb7U. j
Editor Willamette Farmer:
In tho Fahmrk of May 23d, I sec n com
munication from a "Marion County Fanner,"
in which ho says the i-clf-bintlcr is thb
chcacat harvesting machino now in nee.
For tho information of farmers let us count
tho cost, as all mm should do beforo entering'
any now enterprise. For uxitmplo wo will
estimate tho cost ot harvesting ICO ocrcfl
of grain for fivo consocutivo years, with
the two machines, the- .Self-binder ami
tho Marsh harvester, that being about
as long as those machines last. Two men
with tho Self-binder will cut and shock ten
acres per day; wages and board of hnrvcut
bands $J.W) per day, making $5 or hands;
wire, $140 tenUi per ncroiu estimated by
men operating Hclf-biudcra in this country;
now no haoSD, tho cost of uno day's vtork,
nnd ten acres of grain cut and shocked.
Now IfiOncrci of grain tbuo harvested foot
up (at OOcts per noru), $13"i. Summarize, vix:
Cost of machine 0 4CO 00
Interest for C years nt 11! per ctnl. . . 270 00
Wngts of hands fnr fivo eais !t7li 00
Wiro for flvo years .'WO 00
Total. i $l,WGO0
Oi n total cost of ?l,fl95 on n grain farm
of IM) ncres, counting nothing fur repair,
which would very likely be more on the
binder than on the slmplo harvester.
Now, with tho harvester four men will
put in tbo shock iu ono day ten acres the
i.ima as the binder. Wngoi and board of four
men $10 per day or $150 for tho ICO acres of
grain which fur fivo years would bo or
follows !
Wages... $750 00
Cost of machino 200 00
Interest on tho raino 120 00
Total for five years 91,074 00
Thus at the end of fivo years, on n grain
form at ICO acres, tho farmer, using the
common harvester has aed $321 mora than
ho who used the Helf-bindcr, having perforin
od tho same work,
Hut the 9321 saved is not all of this ijuos.
tion. Tho fanner using tho harvester having
paid (200 only to eastern manufacturing
companies, while ho has paid $374 to labor
ing men of our own country, thus keeping tho
money iu circulation nt homo among us whkh
is commendable nn good policy. Hut bo
who used tho Helf-bindcr has paid to cistern
companies $7C0 for machino and wire, thus
draining our country of money and impover
ishing it, hut to bn "penny wisu nnd po-rnd
foolish is the end of selfishness,
Now-wo see tl.o harvester innu hai given
threo hundred days employment to young
men at borne, during this time, thus bene
fitting the laboring tlais among us, which
policy if practiced by all our f armors would
drive tho financial distrust from our coast.
Thu Self-binder man has paid his $750 to
somo company in New York to do his har
vesting for him and got it no chcajier than
the man of tho harvester.
Could our farmers at ouco soo the total
amount of money tbnt annually goes Kart
and leaves mr coast entirely, for agricultural
machinery, they could oaslly account for tho
hard timts we complain of.

Salem, May .10, 1870."
Hon. J. Jil. Thompson was speaker of
tlio Houso nt tho lato session; has becu
Couuty Judgo of Ijtno county, and has
woll deserved prominence as n lawyer;
ho has accepted tho appointment and em
ployed Hon. John Dennett, of Corvalliy,
to assist him. Thcio is no doubt that
with thfao gentlemen iu charge of its
interest the3tate will be well repre
sented. Yesterday, suits m ere commenced iu
tho Circuit Court for Marion county, at
Salem, as follows: Two suits against ex
Secretary Chadwick, two against W. 11.
Watkinils, and three against tho late
State Hoards. The different suits repre
sent the period of timo under which
different bonds wero given. Tlio claitas
against Secretary Chadwick are for
clerical aid employed in excess of tho
provision made by law, and for excess
paid Sheriffs for services tendered, moro
thau the amount contemplated by the
statute, lwo suits aro now pending
against Secretry of State Karhart, asking
for wtit of mandamus, one brought by
Hcotinfj of Horticultural Society.
According to adjournment this sucicty met
at tl.o Council chambct .Saturday afternoon,
tho 1'nsidcut, Kcth Luclling, 1up, iu tho
ihair. Dr. Card well, from committee, 're
ported that they had not yet got oeasiou
of tho books of thu old society, and therefore
had deno nothing tow ardf reviling constitu
tion and by-laws.
Various remarks wero mado as to securing
a general interest and advance the caaie
permanently.
Mr. J. 1', htcwart, of Tuyallup wrote a
letter to tbo association which was read by
tho Secretary, He referred to tho fact that
onu-iHtn of a plum orchard four yean old
lad died, aud many mora were injured, tho
bark turning black ne-ur tho root. He ex
pressed desire to 1-clonp to tho society and
aid its labors.
W. 8. failiDt; thought when the toiiety
was fully at work wo should join the Nation
al Horticultural Association, and spoke of thu
interest and value of the reports we should
reseive.
Mr. Luelliug speke of thu fact that many
thousand trees were killed by frosts that
came about Chrittmas, thought that tap rose
with pleasant weather, and tho frost then
produced this effect, and that may havo ailed
Mr. Stowart's trees. If Mr. Stewart was to
livo further particulars, as to locality, cultiva
tion, and attendant circumstances, it would
be possible to form mere definite conclusions.
Convcrvatioti followed, relating to growth
of trees, proper care and conditions. Mr.
Hanson thought trees should be started on
high dry land to eecure hardy trees. Trees
from low and rich lands wero not so safe to
live after transplanting.
Mr. Failing asked why old applo trees in
town orchards looted better than country
c retards.
It was suggested that the ground was rich
in door yards and city gardens, also that the
drainage sj atem of cities favored the trees;
that there were only a few trees together and
they were generally better trimmed,
A conversation was continued upon many
interesting topics, but we have not room for
fall report. The assoeiation adjourned to
meet again at the City Council Chamber in
two weeks, which will be Saturday afternoon,
June 14th, at one o'clock.

Since the wrecking of the Great Re

for every thing they pick up. If a

who picks it up wants salvage ; same if
