WESTON'S EXCELLENT CORN.
Edwin Simpson Rallied 40 Acres Tliat
' V'lli Yield -10 Bushels Per Acre.
Two remarkable ears of yellow field
corn have been left at this office by
Edwin Simpson, an Oregon pioneer
who disclaims any desire toward seek,
ing newspaper notoriety, but says he
wants to have it known Just what, our
wonderful country will produce be
sides 60-bushel wheat, says the Wes
ton Leader. One is 11 inches long
and the other is more than usually
corpulent, measuring eight Inches In
circumference and having 14 rows.
From "stem to stern" both ears are
filled with sound and thrifty kernels.
There are 40 acres or more of this
corn near the Simpson hacienda on
Wild Horse creek, and It is making
about 40 bushels per acre. It af
fords abundant proof that well-tilled
field corn ought to provide a profita
ble alternate crop In the Weston
country at least more profitable
than the summer fallow and tumble
weeds usually produced. '

SHIPS HOUSE TO NEBRASKA.
Loyal Oregon .Man Patronizes Home
Industry.
Of the multitudinous schemes for
keeping money at home that of A. O.
Hoffman, a merchant of Forest Grove,
would probably take the highest prize
In any patronlze-your-own-home-ln-dustry
In Oregon, snys a correspond
ent at Forest Orovc. Mr. Hoffman
has Just shipped back to his old home
a house completely framed, from
Joists to rafters, and on Its arrival all
that will be necessary will be to throw
It together.
Mr. Hoffman formerly conducted a
bank at Arnold, Neb., and owns prop
erty outside of the precinct. It was
on this property thut he wished to
erect a mansion, but he was reluctant
to send money out of Oregon. Ho hit
upon the proper scheme.
He engaged S. B. Starrctt, a local
architect to draft the plans, the bill
of lumber was secured from a local
mill, and a local carpenter framed
the joists, studding, windows, rafters
and every other pieces of timber that
will go Into the Nebraska dwelling.

Will Try Again for Artesian Water.
A new shaft has been started for the
purpose of supplying the railroad
yards with artesian water. This en
terprise was begun a few weeks ago,
but on account of the bursting of the
casing at a depth of about 80 feet,
the first attempt has been abandoned
and a new hole has been started.
One cause of the accident was the
small size of the casing, which was
bin i l-jlit Inches In diameter when It
should have been 10, so the superin
tendent In charge avers. The firm of
Miller & West of Portland, has tho
contract with the O. R. & N. com
pany to sink a well 1000 feet unless a
sufficient supply of artesian water Is
encountered within a Bhortcr distance.
