sion, and the programme and talent which
they have secured for the day speaks well
for their energy and management. The
Aurora band, the very best in the State,
has be n engaged to furnish the music

JIasc Ball.
Owing to inclemency of tho weather the
Hubbard base ballists failed to come to
time last Saturday, but we are informed
that they will be on hand next Sat urday,
and a lively game may be expected. Our
boys are putting in considerable time
practicing, uml feel quite confident of
getting away with their opnciits. We
have no objections to their doing so.
The Victoria and Seattle base ballists
will play their level best on the 4ih of
July, at Seattle, for a handsome bat, made
of curled maple, tipped and ornamented
with solid silver.
Portland claims to have the best base
ball players in the State. Just wait until
our lys get a show at them and then they
will quit Wagging.
The St. Jjouis club hold the first place
in the United States, and the Bostons
second.
We won't vouch for the Hubbard base
ballists being here Saturday. That's what
we did last week, and several persons
came in from tin country and didn't see
anything of them. They didn't hurt us,
but we don't like to be cussed.
The Vancouver club has declined to play
a match game of base ball on the Fourth,
as some of their players would not oe able
to participate, and our boys must look in
some other direction for an opponent.
(Jood News for f lie t-'armcr.
We were entertained l3r a visit from Mr.
E. B. Lewellyn on Friday last, and as he
is one of the most progressive and intelli
gent farmers in our county, agriculture
( always a delightful and entertaining sub
ject with us) was the chief subject of our
conversation. Among other things Mr.
Ij mentioned, was cne that we believe
will be of benefit to all who may see this,
if they make use of the information. It is
a fact only too well known that the pea
crop, one of the most raying ones a far
mer can raise, is otten a failure because of
the number of bugs w ith which the seed
is infested, injuring the crop. Mr. Ij. has
discovered a sinecure for these pests. He
says all that is necessary is to keen the
seed over till the second year before sow-
ing. Bv that time the insects are all dead.
The seed will be as good as if sowed the
year before, and you are the gainer by
being just minus the bugs. Gentlemen,
try it.
Temperance Meeting.

ance Association was held in the M. E.
Church on Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock.

Moi.At,i.A. Tho celebration and barbe
cue at Molalla on the 4th of Julv promises
to bo a grand affair. Tho programme and

says he will barbecue enough meat tor all

Kentucky style. It is ex-wcted that from
two to three thousand persons will be on
the grounds.
No Quorum. The special meeting of
the Citv Council called for last Monday
evening, failed to have a quorum, and sev
eral of the saloon keepers who had applied
for licenses will ie loroeu to close shop or
run without licenses until next Monday
evening, the regular monthly meeting.
The reason for a failure of a quorum to be
present was on account of the temperance
proclivities of some of the memlers of the
Council, who declared they would not at
a special meeting for the sole purose of
granting licenses to me saloons.

Damascus, Ogn., June 13th, 1S77.
Mr. Editor: We have been waiting
and watching for something to "turn up."
Some grand heroic transaction that would
dispel the apparent lethargy into which
this community has fallen. But alas! most
deplorable and unrewarded has been our
vigil. Damascus! "thou art but the ghost
of thy former self." Once it was tiiv de
light to entertain the talented from afar;
to hold communion with the "wise men .
of the East" and West; to forward and i
improve the oratorical, as well as the or-i
thodoxical, element in thy midst. Now,!
no more rings forth the stentorian voice
of the "A'phabctical" Dunbar, the gentle
whisper of the "Grove" is hushed, and ;
silence reigns supreme, where once its
verdant life beheld tho passing scene. But j
thou art still "Rich" in thv Divine Grace, j
guaranteed, every Sunday, through the 1
nercuiean enorls of thy Salvation Suppli
ers. Were this otherwise, then likewise
would be your retrograding fame, and the
vanishing glory that now threatens to en
tirely disappear would once more assume
its wonted brilliancy. Eife, jollity, good
will and kind feelings to all would take ;
the pla;e that is now held by their oppo-
site. Then once again could all be happy ; !
none would pause or hesit ite when inter
viewed by "Uncle Jim," and the liquida
tion of his just demands would create a
pleasure that has often been felt and en
joyed by We'uns.

Bacon keeps nothing but first, class ci ars,

ollicers tlirongbout the country:
Washington, June 23, 1877.
Sir: I desire to call your attention to
the following paragraph in a letter ad
dressed by me ty the Secretary of the
Treasury, on the conduct to be observed
by ollicers of the General Government
in relation to elections: "No officer
should be required or permitted to take
part in the management of political or
ganizations, caucuses, conventions or
election campaigns. Their right to vote
and to express their views on public
questions, either orally or through the
press, is not denied, provided it does
not interfere with the discbarge of their
official duties. No assessment for po
litical purposes should be allowed."
This rule is applicable to every depart
ment of the civil service. It should be
understood by every officer of the Gen
eral Government that he is expected to
conform his couduct to its requirements.
Very respectfully, R. B. HAYES.
The June report of the Department
of Agriculture indicates a better pros
pect than usual for wheat. California
averages 50, Oregon 1C9. Returns
from California indicate half of a full
crop from a deficiency of a winter rain
fall. The report of June, 187G, made
the average for the country .13 per
centnm below standard of the normal
condition, and the yield was still lower,
forcastiug the scarcity which has oc
curred. The average for winter and
spring wheat together Miis yezr is 100.
Tho State averages are as follows:
Maine 101, New Hampshire 102, Ver

New Yoiuc, Juno 2i. The Tribunes
Washington special says the President's
order, as interpreted by the Cabinet
officers, is that the order is intended to
prohibit any connection whatever with
any of the various yards, township,
county, State or national organfzations
for conducting political campaigns, and
debars the officeholder from acting as a
delegate to political conventions. The
only part officeholders will be allowed
to take in political affairs will be voting,
speaking, and writing for the press. It
i.s doubtf'il whether an official will be
allowed to leave his office to run i'-elf,
however, while he takes the stump fur
his parly, as many have done heretofore.
The order is expected to provoke strong
opposition " from the wholo body of
working Republican politicians through
out tin- country, and will no doubt be
sharply criticised when Congress meets
by both houses. Southern Republicans
are particularly troubled about the new
departure. They say the party organ
ization cannot be maintained in any
part of tho country without Federal
officeholders. In many sections the
only efficient workers the party possess
es av-3 postmasters, deputy marshals and
revenue officials. If they cease their
labors the party will go to pieces.
London. June 25. A special from
Bucharest estimates that 11.000 Rus
sians crossed at Galats at Ibrail. It
appears that the Turks made an attempt
to cross from Lompolauka into Little

The successful attempt of the
siar.s to cross near Rutsehuk has
followed by a severe battle on the
ube, in which Turkish gunboats
taken active part. The towa of
Rus

Russians, has been s. t on lire by Turk

Commenting on the correspondence
between Gorts bakofl'and Dei by, pub
lished Saturday, the Time says: Frank
ness has been met by frankness, and
the result is the conviction that the
war for which wo may hope the speed
iest termination ought not to endanger
the good relations between England
and Russia.
The English cabinet has, after due
deliberation, disapproved Gortscha
koiTs declaration as to Russia's policy
in the Eastern war, and the English
government has resolved not to allow
even a temporary occupation of Con
stantinople by Russians.
About 70 persons of a sect who be

known of the sect, as they live in a lot
of houses bailt close together, and are
not very neighborly with the settlers
around them. They are fit subjects for
a lunatic asylum.

think of going to Portland to buy goods for I
am Determined to Sell Cheap and not to allow

Twenty Years Experience

1m' useless for me to tellyou all the advantages
I can offer you in the sale of goods, as. every

you have been disappointed. All 1 wish to
say is
Come, and See, and Examine for YonrscfTcs,

object is to ten all my old mends now that I
am still alive, and desirous to sell goods cheap,
