Negotiations regarding the disposal of the Independent terminated yesterday in the purchase of the material by Bob Wihlgren for $3,500.

F.Owon leases the material at the rate of $75 a month; various parties who hold stock costing $22.50 a share get $7 a share. Henry Sale of "Woodland farm, in this vicinity, makes a good showing with his poultry from March 1 to August 1. He says: ""With 22 hens I have received 103 dozen eggs, raised 144 chickens and 80 ducks (it being more profitable to hatch and raise ducklings with hens than ducks). Feed for chickens and duoks during that time cost $20. Spring chick ens sell at $4.50 and $5 tier dozen, ducks from 75 cents to $1 apiece, eggs from 25 cents to d5 cents per dozen. AN INTERESTING POINT. This session of the circuit court has been almost totally devoid of interest except to those directly concerned in the suits, and beyond a formal record of the day's transactions but little attention has been bestowed upon it. Yesterday, however, came up a question for adjudication, which was ably argued and promptly de- ciaea. xiast weeK one a. uamatta was indiotedby the grand jury for alleged assault with intent to kill. The alleged assault was committed on the north side of Sand Island. "When the cage was called yesterday, Fulton Bros, appeared for the defense, and McBride and "Winton for the state. The point raised was did the court have jurisdiction; could a man be tried in Oregon for an offense committed in "Washington territory waters? Seldom has a case been argued in the county with greater force or keener rea soning, each side advancing both law and .logic m support of their views concerning this question which is one of importance as establishing a precedent. Judge Taylor decided that the court had jurisdiction in the matter, and the case was given to the jury without evi dence or further argument, a verdict of guilty being rendered by that body. Enlarging the County Boundaries. There is on the lower Nehalem in Tillamook county a large area of conn try that is naturally tributary to Astoria as a distributing center and which is be ing filled up by settlers who, desiring a market for their produce, are agitating the question of annexation. They are reported as being desirous to be set off from Tillamook county pnd incorporated into Clatsop county. The idea has not yet, assumed tangible shape, but seems to be that if .Clatsop county will continue the present road down the Seaside to the county line, a distance of some sixteen miles, they will complete a road from their settlement northward to meet it. It will require hearty cooperation on the part of all concerned and some speo ialjlegislative enactments next winter, all of which are among the possibilities. Journalistic Compliments. .

Ingersoll is invited to lead in prayer at the opening of the San Francisco Repub lican wigwam on the 25th inst. Francis Medhurst, "an English gen tleman," has skipped Portland-ward from Butte, Montana, owing $75,000 of gambling debts. The American Bankers' association in convention at Saratoga think that the coinage of standard silver dollars should be discontinued. HKKF CATTLE SUPPLY. My own idea is that the day is not far distant when the coast counties, and not the region known as the "inland empire," shall supply not only Astoria and the river towns, but the metropolis as well, with good and healthy beef. The tide of live beef has been in past years constant ly ebbing toward the ocean, but I look for a reflux that shall ere bix years more, drive it up stream. To begin with, I will admit that the bunch grasi makes fatter beef than any other sort of herbage. And there you have to stop. There is nothing else to bo said in favor of the great plains. The hot summers often render it difficult for the lowing herds to obtain a sufficient supply of water any where contiguous to the "pastures. Then there are the cold winters with the deep snow that covers the grass so that an ox can get no sustenance, and the ice so hard that when ho reaches tho brook ho can get no drink, and must therefore perish of thirst. Add to this the fact that the eastern counties are settling up rapidly and tho laud onco used for pas turage is now being rapidly converted into orchards and fields of grain, and you will readily discern reasons why tho cat tle trade in the coast counties of Wash ington territory (and Oregon, too, for that matter) should increase rather than diminish from year to year. There aro no cold winters in these coast counties; and the cattle that have been allowed to hibernate for themselves in densely wooded copses whore the browse was good, have frequently come out fatter and more marketable than those which have remained in barns and stood to hay all winter. And when it comes down to the consideration of dairying, nobody will deny the superiority of clover for pro ducing butter and cheese. Tom Merry in Oregonian.

The Only Correct Version Dialogue. or a Historical George," said his father, with a coun tenance more in sorrow than in auger. "George, some one has cut down my fa vorite cherry tree. Do you know any thing about it?' Young Washington did not quail before his father's accusing glance. Ho looked him straight in the eye, and an express ion of honest resolution gleamfd in the clear eyes and frank countenance. "My father," he said, "I will not de ceive you. I do know something about it, but that is not -the issue at all. You have, in effect, charged me with being privy to tho destruction of your favorite tree. Now, the question is, since you have filed information and laid this charge against me, what do von know about it?"2 . "I know that you have a hatchet," re plied his father sternly, I know what a boy with a hatchet is liable to do. I know that some one has cut down mv fa vorite cherry tree ' Stop right here," interrupted the fu ture father of his country. You say this was your tree?" I do." 'How came it yoars?'" I planted it," 'Now sir, are you certaiu it was not on this farm when you came here?" "No, sir, it was not." "Then why do you say so?" "Why do 1 say what? 'That's right; ovade, quibble, crawl out of it somehow. All right. If yon don't want to answer a plain simple question you don't have to. "But I didn't say it was on tho farm when I camo here. 'Oh, very well, deny it. Is there any other retraction vou would like to make?" "I don't retract anything. I mprely declared that I never said that tree was on tho farm when I came hero." "Oh, well, father don't get excited and talk loud. You may go back on your en tire statement if yon wish. Perhaps you will next try to make us believe that this farm wasn't here either when you came." "Why, of course it was here. I don't' "Didn't you say a moment ago that it wasn't?" "That was the tree!" "Ah, yes; yon turn it off on the tree now. lou've been talking about tho tree all this time, then?" "Why, certainly I have." "Then you just admitted that it was hero when you came here?" "No, my son, that was the farm." "But not half a dozen questions ago you admitted that. You said in these very words, 'Why, of course it was here,' did you not?" "I said thoso words, but I was speaking of tho farm." "And yet you said but this very mo ment that all this time you had been talking about the tree. It is useless to continue this examination. My father, of all human vices lying is tho common est, and I doubt not it is the worst. It blunts our moral sensibilities, it leads us to distort and exaggerate simple state ments of facts; it blurs our powers of in telligent observation, until even a man of ordinary scholarship and intellectual de velopment is unable to tell whether he is talking about a farm or a cherry tree. The complaint is dismissed. I doubt very much if you can even establish the fact that you over owned a tree. Go to the nursery, and if you intend planting a tree in the place of the one you imagine you have lost, you had better take a man with you to show you tho ground, lest you might plant the tree in your hat. You may go." Sadly tho old man turned away, but ho told the man who helped him plant the new tree that if ho had a hundred boys he wouldn't let another one of them study law. Burdelle.
