notice the young wheat. He says the
wheat of the "Red Chaff" variety, which
is spring grain, that was sown last fall,

winter wheat is unimpaired. The entire
damage will not be great. Ralph Geer

Vwprrty Entailed for frtril Yeara.
Tho will of Alvlu T. Smith, lately
deceased, of Forcit Grove, w as filed and
admitted to probate last Saturday.
Mrs. Smith and L. C. Walker are the
executors named in the will, the former
to act without bonds. Mr. Walker'
bonds were fixed at f 10,000 for the
present, but w ill probably be raised to
about twit e that amount after the ap
praisement of the estate, w hich is cli
mated to be worth from $10,000 to
$00,000. These are rather large bonds,
when it is considered they are to otaud
during Mr. Walker's life as such executor.
The will is peculiar. It gives to the
deceased's maiden sister of Connecticut,
all his property in that state, valued at
from flO.OOO to $20,000; It bequeath to
his widow all his personal projM-rty,
money, note and account and town
property in Forest Grove, and 20 acre of
land in the Walker donation claim, ad
joining the Grove, in fee simple. Also,
his donation claim, consisting of more
than 600 acres, nearly all prairie, and 80
acres school land adjoining, to his widow
during her life. It further provides,
that upon her death, the said land is to
be tied up for nine hundred and ninety
nine (999 years, and during this period,
one-half the rents and profits are to be
used in repairs, improvements and pay
ing taxes; the other half is to Ie paid to
the America Missionary association, of
Xew York City. Al the expiration of
t!)9 years, the proceed are to be given
to "some other protectant missionary
society, but in uo event is any part of
it to be given to tho siipKrt of any
Roman or Papal society whatever.
There are 11 neres in Al. Smith's
donatiou laud claim, belonging to the
estate of the deceased, of which no dis
position was made in the will, A legal
point: Will not the terms of the will
which entail the estate for 000 yearn, In
validate the testament?
Mr. S. R. Huston is attorney for the
estate.
Inhibition of Art.
A large and well phased audience at
ttmled the exhibition of art given by
Oregon's celebrated artist. Clyde Cook,
at Forest Grove last Friday evening.
The portrait and statuary were person
ated by people of Forest Grove and
represented the works of the best nnd
most famous painters and sculptors of
tlays gone 1y--Rembrandt, Van Dyck
and others. Of the statuary, we must
name, The goddens Ceres," "The Laugh
ing (bic. ii," and also a ('reek lady, dated
.'500 year II. C. The draping and general
arrangement all lietraycd a master-hand,
as did also the three last scenes, repre

perfe tly imitating and well illustrating
the priestly rites of the Indians of
Mexico. It i prophesied that soon th

had learned that nature has a cure (or

their sturdy frame to ipiickly throw oir

There can be noquestion that remedies
from the laboratory of nature are the
best. If they are as efficacious, they
have the advantage of leaving no aflrr

Their efficacy, if properly compounded,
and the proper remedy applied to the

Their disuse ha come aliout principally
