You nro all, ouch ami every ono of you, interested in tho work and havo derived bouulitH from tho stand tho Wn.UMcm: Faumkk has taken in tho farmers' bohalf.

A NCW IMPORTATION Itecenlly we huso noticed that our pony in very nervous and excited, as if some insect was biting him. There are a few of the large black horso-lly in thiH valley but we could not Hud any on him, hut did find what wo thought wan the common horso-lly uud supposed he was huapplng at him. The other day we found ono of them actually drawing blood ami killed it. Mentioning the mutter to some ono familiar with eastern rnugcH wo havo learned that a small lly exists there which is very annoying anil so plentiful in some localiticns to drive stock oil' tho range they infe.-t. Tho bringing of homes down from tboe Eastern ranges has brought this post to Western Oregon and what has been an noying our imny is nothing less than this small lly, which is native to K.istern Oregon. Alluding to this incident in tbo prc-enco of W. W. llnkei, of the Itund Spirit, ho said it accounted for the great uneasiness his mare has .shown at presence of small Ihes that he also U Moved wow the horno-lly. Ilncaptuiod eight specimens and thought llu weiu lighter color and more gaiu winged than the common lly, but did not put them under u gins. We ued a mag nify in: glass and thought as U.tker did that it was hlighlly dillereut. but wo also discovered that it hud a prohoM'iMinr iiipKnt willi which it could lo very aggressive and dkigieoablo. It looks very much as if we haven very undo sirable imKiitation for our livestock, in tho iM'rmui of this tcirible instvt ami wo hhould like to hear from others what their experience is with it. Mr. Hiker m a he has u correspond- A DEALT OUT DEAL. Tho wheat ring, that has hcon gam bling in grain for months past in .San Francisco and California, has nt last found in rough parlance that they "havo bitten more than they can chaw." Wo havo explained tho matter several times and predicted tbo close of tho "deal," as mkhi as tbo crop should como in and furnish more wheat than any such "deal" could handle. Tho uud came last week, when tho principal op orator announced his inability to moot his engagements and pay for wheat which that day became due. On this tbo Product) Exchange closed doors nnd suppressed business until matters pond ing could bo adjusted. The ring seems to control tho exchange and is uing its power to savo those who havo boon gambling from loss. It is probable that they will manipulate n flairs so as to come out ahead ami loo nothing, wheriiH, if obliged to come up promptly and pay all their shortages, they would be great losers. It is claimed that an other week will be required to adjust mutters and as tho ring controls every thing this means that they will take time enough to make themselves safe or to lose but little. Meantime, there are no definite quo tations in the wheat markot and no priced fixed for the new ciop. Every thing waits tho movement of the ling and tho wind up of tho lato deal. It should ho made a criminal ollbuso to gamble in tbo staff of life, nnd trifle, or speculate rashly In what constitutes tho working-man's need. Speculation should not lay unholy bunds on the world's "daily bread." All good citizens, tbo world over, will rejoice at tbo issuo of trials, in both Now York nnd Chicago, of city officials who havo yiolded to bribos, nnd navo sold to tbo higbont bidders tbo most valu iblo franchises that could bo granted in thoso citic. Tho triumph of light ovor tho Tweed ring was an assertion that ovon in tho corrupt city of Now York, (whero foreigners controlled by their votes nnd sustained tbo Tweed nnp, to bo fed and favored in return), law could bo maintiined and justice vindicated, Again tbo Alderman of that city have been tried and convicted of bribory in selling tbo Urondwny street railroad franchise for which millions would boon paid in open market for tho price of fifteen thousand dollars paid to each of tho venal Alderman who made tho mnjority. Having convicted thoo who wero bribed, tbo public prosecutor Inter commenced an action against tbo noto rious millionaire, Jake Sharp, who brib ed thorn and paid them. This also re (tilted in conviction and tho world has seen this old man, who ned bin great wealth to corrupt purposos, and whose ago and infirmities muko him an object of pity, take his trembling way, under tho custody of tho SberiU', to the States Prison. Chicago, next to Now York, has boon ruled corruptly and dominated by for eign-born citizens. Hero, also, law has assortoil and vindicated itself and itis- tico has been enforced against anarch ists and boodle Alderman. It in proba bio that in tho end the anarchists, whoso bombs destroyed so many lives, will re ceivo duo punishment. Tbo laws de lays are called into uso by tho culprits, and every cll'ort mado to securo release or mitigation of the Nmlcncc, but ho far no success bus followed such efforts. Tho world's best citizens inu-t icjoico to witness the triumph of Jaw nnd or der, and tho assertion of right in the great cities of America.

STATE RAILROAD COMMISSION A OOOD FENCE. Wo havo tho misfortune to hao a team of mules that do nnt mind n legal fence and scorn to ignore law in that respect, ho wo havo been compelled to resort to some especial means to keep ilium in our onclosuro. There are ninny animals who wilt manage to push or throw n fence down, mid one such will answer for nil on tho farm, as it leads the way, and generally makes the gup for others to follow through. Find ing that our liest mule had this fault and it Isiiug his only ono- we went to work to reconstruct the pasture fonco anil make it mule proof. Wo went ovor nil tho lines of fences, stniighteiug up the corners and rearranging the poles that run lengthwise of tho fence and the stakes that locked them there. Wo pro cured annealed wiie for live cents por Hiund and with this wire tied the Htukes together whoio they itosmhI, nhoNotho fence. Then we stretched u coil of barbed wire all along tho fence nnd fastened it with the staples furnish ed with it to tbe stakes about a foot nlxno the top rail, and this made a fence no minimal however bieechy, will ho apt to try to cross more than once. There i a sharp touch to the bat Irs I wire that stock dre.ul and io don't much like to handle it. even to build tbe fence. Tho cost of the barbed wire is hIkhU live cents per pound; wo got some for less, a tkHiud will htivtch a rod, or for a double pnunl of rail fence, so it amounts to live cents for a double pnv- 1 ! 1 It.tA If II .1 ou. mere neitig o.u reus in it nine uie cost of a barbed wire to cap a mile of fence will bo about $10, and you would need about n dollars woith of annealed w iro to make u thoroughly good job of It. Wiling the ft.ikes together gives great er stability to tbo fence, and stretching and nailing (he barbed wire to tho stake, (when thus tied together) stif fens the foncrt and keeps it fiom leaning, as well as makes it mule proof. Wo now ho t No. 1 fence. Our railroad commissioners havo fol lowed up thoquestion of cheaper freights on the O. It. it N. Co.'s lines with com mendable firmness nnd independence. Of course- this matter involves questions of right ou both sidos tlmt requiro tho clearest discrimanntions nnd tho closest consideration. Tho icop!o form tho producing class of the upper country are dependent on tho income thoy can realize year by year ; high freight rates will discourage them and cnnjo thorn to fool less interest in developing their farms. Also, high rates will prevent to a great degrco tho settlement of the country by now comers nnd regard tho growth of population ns well as tho in crease of cultivated arcn. While tho wheat grower is struggling in tho pro?ent and has imperative needs he cnu hardly supply, tho railroad com pany represents capital of many mil lions are more interested in the develop ment of this roigion than tho peoplo who nro producers there, if that wero possiblo. A liberal policy ou tho part of thiH corporation will secure an oarlior development and will result in much sooner seeing production reach im mense proportions that will enrich transportation companies and reward their presont liberality. It seems only prudent nnd reasonable, then, for the 0. 11. v N. Co. to do all it can to encourage the settlement and development of tho country it depends on, and that dope ids on its facilities to supply its needs. It has mint to gain by n liberal polioy and while its obliga may also be pressing, tho future promi ses more to its stockholders than to the producers of the upper country.

Ho developed a tnsto for litoraiy matters and centered his offortfl in tbo lino of historical work for tho Western American states. With businoss accu racy ho has planned nnd executed, whnt must alternately prove to bo a grentir work than any other historian has over accomplished nnd that no singlo man could accomplish without such organi zation nnd co-operation ns Mr. Hnncroft has called into use. Ho has nlrcndy ex pendod a million dollars, nnd must ex pend much more to complete tho work as bo has planned it. As we understand it to secure correct details of tho earliest Spinish discovory and settlement of Ameifca. Ho caused copied to bo mado and translations had of documents stored among Spanish Archives, nnd with great expense, nnd almost incredible labor ho has thus se cured material which had never hoforo been used. To obtain tho consent of the Spanish government nnd to then un earth from tho groat muss of written manuscripts in tbo royal libraries of Spain such material ns would throw light on theso subjects, rcouirod such courage, cost and labor as is seldom in tho possession or within reach of any singlo individual, or privato citizen. Hut ho brought to this work a do-'ciplined mind, thorough business qualities nnd Unvoted to tlio work besides a unruly earned fortune, such as men nchievo during a lifetime. Of course, Mr. Hnncroft has not douo nil this work himself, but ho has over seen it all and has received nnd revers ed nil that oth"rs have done, which tins been n great work of itself. To oxplaiu his motbxls: All his copies of manuscripts havo been bound in volumes and n completo indox nvulo of each, while n general index is nindo of every topic, showing in what volume it was treated of. Tbe work thus done in preparation for history writing has been immense. Many years more spent in gathering material from every sourco in tho wide world where information could be gleaned. IIo camo to Oregon yenra ngo nnd mado arrangements to havo tho story of old pioneers told and saved for future use. It took years of ttino ami labor to nccumuluto what re lates to our Stato nlono, and when all tho material was in band it wns careful ly used to mnko a connected story of Oregon's early days.
