The farmers of this vicinity complain of
the manner in which they are treated by
the dealers in agricultural implement at
Portland. Last week Mr. James Winston

dealers, aiuf after bringing it home found
that he had two shafts for the same side,
and he was obliged to go to Portland to
have it changed. Even then his troubl-s
were not at an end, for the shaft would
not work and he was obliged to go to the
blacksmith and have it fixed. Three days
time lost by the cussed ness of these deal
ers is what makes our farmers swear.
Several of our young men seem deter
mined to get Wiser, and we shall not be

cake, etc.

Editor: Some time has elapsed
I have written to you, and 1 hope
Mr
since
you will not feel that I am claiming too
much of .your time for our neighborhood.
For the past few weeks all of the farm
ers seem to have been very busy, prepara
tory to the coming harvest , your corres
pondent leing one of that number.
The only recreation being base ball, the
Harvester" M. B.C. played the Clackamas
club on last Saturday, and were, we regret
tosiy, beaten more' than f wo to one; the
score standing Clackamas 3S, Harverter 32.
After the game was over several of us
-lderlv gentlemen tried to get the Har
vesters to nlav us a game, nut they de
clined on the plea that they would beat us
too bad. The only excuse our boys have
for their defeat is, the "'lameness .of their
pitcher, Mr. Carter, whom they claim as
their best player, and bad playing on the
part of all. The game passed off verv
pleasantly, although once or twice we saw
a frown r utile the usually smooth and
placid brows of several of the players.
The boys claim that if they .can't beat the
Clackamas club "plaving b ill, they got
away with U:em at the table. The only
thing lacking. Mr. Editor, was your smil
ing phiz. Well, boys, ' better luck next
time.
Crop usually look well, although those
win sowed white winter wheat in March
declare that it is a traud.
Capt. Appersoti. who purchased a tract
of land containing 16 acres, expects to
commence grubbing it this week, and bv

Fish Commissioner. Prof. Livinsrstono
.Stone, U. S. Fish Commissioner, who was
invited to this coast by the Columbia river
fishermen, has been in this vicinity for
several days past.- He has examined the
streams flowinginto the Columbia, ai:d
has arrived at the conclusion that the
Clackamas riyer is a great deal better
adapted to breeding purposes than any of
them, me projectors ot mis scheme nave
objected to this locatioii.allegSnir that only
"steel heads." ascend the Clackamas. Prof.
Stone has caught, several tine taimon out
of this stream and sent them to the inter
ested nartles, which will prove that we
can catch as liue tish here as they do even
on tbe ColumlMa. The commissioner is
highly pleased with our leaiitiful stream,
praising its natural advantages ior iioii
orooagatioo-iu the most ici-wing terms.
ami ho will endeavor to persuade the fish
ermen to have the breediug cages located
in the Clackamas.
Since the above has been placed in type,
we are informed that Prof. Ktone has re
ceived a telegram frni the president of
the Columbia River Fishermen s Associa
tion authorizing him to locate the tish
breeding cages on the CIaeiaias if he
thinks it is the most favorable situa
tion. We understand that operations will
jo eummeiieea next wees.

What the Billons Require.
Since torpidity of tbe liver is the chief cause
of Its disorder, it Is evident that what the bil
ious require is an alterative stimulant which
will arouse it to activity, an effect that is fol
lowed by the disappearance of the various
svmptoms irldicative of its derangement.
Hostetter's Stotnah Bitters invariably achieve
the primary result mentioned, besides re
moving the constipation,- flatulence, heart
burn, yellowness of the skin and whites of
the eyes, pain in the right side and under the
right shoulder, nausea, vertigo and sick head
ache, to which bl ious invalids are peculiarlv
subject. As a remedy for chronic indigestion,
mental Uispondedcy and nervousness the Bit
ters are equally efficacious, and as a renovant
of lost vigor, a means of arresting premature
decay, and a source of relief from the infirmi
ties to which the gentler sex is peculiarly sub
ject, they may be thoroughly relied upon.
Ia Your Lire Worth lO Cents.
Sickness orevails everywhere, and every
body complains of some disease during their
life. WLen sick, the object Is to get well ;
how to say plainly that no person in this
v orld that is suffering with Dyspepsia, Liver
Complaint and its eiTcts, such as Indiges
tion. Costiveness, Sick Headache, Sour Stom
ach, Heart Burn, palpitation of the Heart,
lepress"d Spirits, Biliousness, etc., can take
Green's August Flower without getting re
lief and cure. If you doubt this, go to Ward
&. Harding and get a Sample Bottle for 10
cents and try it. Hegular slxe 75 cents. Two
doses will relieve you.
If you wish to seci re bargains you. had
better call at Ackerman" Bros., while t hey are

From S. Thatcher, M. 13. , of Ilcrmon, N. Y,
Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry gives
universal satisfaction. It seems to cure a
cough by loos- ning and .cleansing the lungs,

cause, instead of drying up the cough and
leaving' the - cause behind. I consider . the
Balsam the best cough medicine with which
I am acquainted. Hold by all druggists.
Peruvian Syrup. '
Brooks, Me., Sept. 7, 1870.
Dear Sir From early yout h I was in feeble
health, troubled with hnrnor in my blood,
weakness ami debility of the system gener
ally ; was unable to labor much, and only at
some liglit business, and then only with great
caution. Seven years ago, the past spring, I
had a severe attack of Diptheria which left
my limbs para'yzed and useless, so I was un
able to walk or even sit. up. Noticing the ad
vertisement of Pkruvian Syrup, I concluded
to give it a trial, and to my great joy soon
found my health imi roving. I continued tbe
use of the SYRCP until three bottles had been
used, and was restored to complete health,
and have remained so to thisday. I attribute
my present state of health to the use of Peru
vian Syrup, and hold it in high estimation. I
cannot Sieak too highly in its raie. I have
