It is thought that there is 50,000 bushels in the hands of the farmers.

We hare received some samples of white wheat well headed and nearly five feet in height. Some bald barley from the ranch of H. P. Isaacs will be ready for the reaper in about two eeks. It is now over three feet high. On Monday. May 28, near Winlock, at the the camp of J. M. Ulark At (Jo., a man by the name of John Tranbcrg wai instantly killed by a fallen tree. He was off soma 200 yards from the other men, and had just felled a tree, which, in falling, struck a dead tree standing cloe by and broke off the top, which fell upon him unawares and broke his neck, death ensuing mediately. His trends reside in Chicago, aud were notified at once of the sad accident. He was buried in the grave yard at Winlock. James L. McCormick, special agent of the general land office, is in Roseburj, looking after the interests of the government.

App'egata correspondence to the Jackson ville Sentinel says : With the return of the warm weather crops are erowine verv nicelv. Wheat and oats promise well, barley ordi nary and corn rather backward. Vegetables look better, at least some better than last year, and should there be a good year the crop will be simply immense. I cannot speak of a huge crop of fruit, for a frost got away with the greater part, still there will be some. The Dungartee peach crop will be immense. Alb my Democrat: Last Wednesday W. L. Lyle arrived in this city direct from Prine vile after a trip of four and a half days. Ther i is now only about nine miles of snow which is about two feet deep. While on his way across he passed six wagon teams coming this way, and not one going to Prineville. Ho that it may safely be said that wagons can cross the mountains now without much trouble. Mr. Lvle was accompanied as far as Brownsville by Luce Nichols, and will return in a few days by the same route which he came. Hsying has commenced in different locali ties and will very soon be in lull blait everywhere. The hay crop is good in every respect.

Jacksonville Timet : There is a difference of opinion as to where railroad depots will be located. Several parties near the middle of the valley think one will be located on their land, and some of them are liable to be dis appointed.

At this rate the land in Spokane county will soon t disposed of. The recent raise in the pries seems to have no effect only to stimulate the Bale of the lands. Seattle Poil-Intelligencer: The SpringHill Water Company now have fifty-two men em ployed under the direction of Mr. Pierce, pushing forward their water works as rapidly as poisible. On the 30th of may a tele graphic order was sent to the factory at San Francisco for O.bOO feet of twelve-inch pipe, 1,300 feet of ten-inch pipe, 4,500 feet eight inch pipe, 10,000 feet of six-inch pipe.

A force of men are now at work on the reservoirs, two in number. One will bo 96x120 feet in size, and 12 feet high, and the other 26x170 feet, and 14 feet high. Thanks to the energy of John Lary, Esq., and the capital and enterprise of Mr. Gatzert and Schwabackers. Seattle will soon have water works capable of supplying a city of 50,000 people.

The United States survey schooner, Ernest, is now in Gray's Harbor engaged in making a government survey of that body of water. She will probably remain during the entire season, and the work done by those in charge of her will effectually, and for all time officially settle the question as to the depth of water on the bar, and in the different chan nels of the harbor. ChehalU Vidette ; There is a large force of men engaged at the head of the bav in dig ging muck, sanding, fluming and the other operations attendant on the planting of a cranberry marsh. They are preparing a large number of acres for plants, and if the experi ment snouia prove a success, ana trie gentle man in charge, a man of large experience, is sure it will, it will open the way for a remu nerative industry, as there are thousands of acres of marsh land in every way suitable for cranberry culture in if acinc county.

Kditor of Boston Herald : Deak Sib During my term of service in the Internal Revenue Department of the United States, at the time my office was in this city, I was afflicted with a severe attack of Kidney Disease, and at times suffered in tensely. I received the medical advice of some of our best physicians for a long time, without beinc benefited bv their cresenn- tions. Being discouraged by the failure of the doctors to help me, aud being urged to use Hunt s Hemeuy by a inend wno bad tested its merits, although reluctant to try a patent medicine, I was finally induced to try the Remedy, and procured two bottles of it, and commenced taking it faithfullj according to the directions Before I had taken it three days the excru ciating pains in my back had disappeared, and before I had used two bottles I was en tirely cured. Whenever, from over exertion or a violent cold, the pains in my kidneys re turn, a few doses of Hunt's Remedy quickly effects a cure. Before closing I beg to mention the re markable cure ot a friend of mine in New York City, to whom I recommended this val uable medicine. He was suffering severely from an attack which was pronounced by his physician a decided case of Bright' Disease of the Kidneys. I obtained two bottles of Hunt's Remedy for him. and he commenced taking it, and began to improve at once, and was speedily restored to health, and he attri butes the saving of his life, under the blesi ing of a merciful Providence, to Hunt's Remedy, Another friend of mine in New York, to whom I recommended Hunt's Remedy, was suffering severely from kidney disease, and was entirely cured ot it after using this won derful medicine only a short period. Feeling deeply grateful for the great bene fits experienced By myself and my friends from the use of Hnnt's Remedy, I feci it to be my duty, as well as a great privilege, to furnish you this voluntary and unsolicited statement of facts for the information of your large number of readers, many of whom are undoubtedly suffering from this widely spreading scourge, and I believe that it is the best medicine now known, and that it will core all cases of kidney diseases that can be J cured. I shall be pleased to confer with any one who may desire an interview regarding the statements herein contained. Truly yours, RlCIIMOyil Hinshaw, tf 99 Messer street June.! June. July.. July. July.
