The Pacific division of the Northern Pacific is preparing to make faster time. A. I. Stewart, chief deputy in the office of the Street Superintendent at Lis An geles, lias stolen »1,700 from the safe and absconded. German and Enzlish stockholders are looking over the Southern Pacific lines in California. The placing of the new loan called them there. Persons seeking employment at Mare Island must register. An applicant is not eligible for work one year after the date of his registration. One of the Supreme Court Judges in Nevada is ill, and the other two are in a deadlock over a question as to whom a note for »2,000 should look for payment. The recently smuggled Chinese cap tured near Olympia paid »80 apiece to be safely landed in this country. Ttie vessels engaged in the traffic are known, and will be seized. Chris Evans lias made a formal request of tlie District Attorney and Sheritf of Fresno to be allowed to attend the thea ter when the play of “ Evans and Son- tag” arrives in Fresno. Work on the San Diego and Phoenix road lias been discontinued, owing to the want of ttie necessary funds to carry it on. Local capitalists have not taken the interest expected and promised. The people of Fresno are demanding that tramps be put to work. The jail now holds more than 1(X> of them. It is even proposed to put them in a chain- gang and make them break rock for mac adamizing roads. The grand jury at Salt Lake has re turned an indictment for murder in tho first degree against Harry Hammond, aged 12 years, and George (xavlor. aged 14. On June 24 Hammond killed Clyde Robertson, aged 7 years. Judge Hawley at Carson, Nev., cut down the verdict obtained by Mrs. H. W . Johnson against the Southern Pacific for the death of her husband from »35,- 000 to »15,000. The plaintiff accepted the cut, but the road will appeal. Thomas L. Robinson, writer in the construction and repair department at Mare Island, lias been removed by order of Secretary Herbert, and William A. lienrv of the United States marine corps has Iteeh appointed to fill this place. I There is a tramp in Woodland, Cal., who has an original method of securing food. When food is refused hi in ho opens a tin box, and throws a snake into the house. The housewife is always glad to give him food if he will catch the snake, A. J. Ross, the ex-policeman who en deavored to palm off a widow on the es tate of Joseph McKinney, a wealthy negro farmer at Stockton, has been sen tenced to five years in the State prison. Pending an appeal, he has been released on »6,000 bonds. City Marshal Blankenship at Phoenix, A. T., confessed to receiving money and not making proper returns of it. He added that liquor made him do the wrong, and that he had taken an oath never to touch it again. The court dis missed ttie charges. After the Oregon State Fair is over the cream of the fruit and vegetable and grain exhibits will l>e sent to the World’s Fair, where they will be exhibited in the Oregon departments to which they nrop- erlv belong. The State Agricultural College lias donated its magnificent ex hibit of potatoes, grains, grasses and vegetables, and the State Board will send its special exhibits of grasses, grains, fruits and vegetables. These will go far toward attracting yet greater notice to Oregon. The Arizona Gazette, published at Phoenix, lias issued a World’s Fair edi tion, giving a description of the Terri tory, its agricultural possiliilities, mining achievements and natural scenic attrac tions, witli historical sketches of the races that once inhabited that “ land of the future.” The inducements in cli mate and the prolific soil of the Salt River Valiev are features that homeseek- erH are not (ikely to overlook when once they read of them in this carefully ed ited paper.

CHURCH NOTICES. a Six Months Three Months. at Adverti-inK Bills Collected Monthly4 'j M l BUM K I P T I O * One Year At the World’s Fair the Committee on Nomenclature alter some of the names of Oregon fruits shipped for exhibition, but they unanimously agree that the color, flavor, texture and genera! excel lence of the frnit are remarkable and unsurpassed. The fruits have all been latvled with the names of the growers who produced them, and they derive all the benefit arising from the publicity liven. The managers of the Oregon ex- libits are using their very best endeav ors to place exhibits in such a position as to catch the eyes of the capitalists and those who are seeking h om es. It is surprising to note the great number of people who are so much interested, and who want all the literature they can pro cure on the subject. The exhibits will be the means of inducing many of the beet class of homeseekers to locate in Oregon during the next fire years, and f wHJ bring anlimited capital. IN D U S T R IA L ITEMS. Tn Paraguay all the field work is done by women. As a rule European railroads have no grade crossings. Eight thousand hanks still do business in this country. Americans smoke more than 2,000,000,- 000 cigars annually. Over 2,000 cars are used on the street railroads of New York. Nearly 1,800 men are employed by the New York custom-house. Funerals in the United States cost up ward of »25,000,000 a year. Sheep and deer will he raised on a 1,000-acre farm at Halifax, Vt. One hundred thousand seats represent the catch for the eeason of 1803. About »350.000,000 of American capi tal finds employment in Mexico. The estimated cotton crop for 1803 is 6,717,142 bales, the smallest since 1886-7. Silver agitation inVhe United States has not affected the Mexican silver mar ket. Land is tilled witli the same kind of a plow in Egypt that was used 5,(k)0 years ago. It takes 5,000 of the kind of chickens that are raised in Kansas to make a car load, Tho property valuation of New York city has increased »500,000,000 ill twelve years. Over 80,000,000 eggs are estimated to be used every year by wine clarifiers in France. Figuring corn at 40 cents a bushel, the American crop was worth in 1802 »ti&>,- 000,000. The wine crop of this countrv, it is es timated, will exceed 26,000,000 gallons tliis year. Tlie world’s supply of diamonds is twenty times greater than it was thirty years ago. Lloyd’s reports 1.008 vessels lost in 1802, of which 240 were British and 126 American. The Merrimac river is said to propel more machinery than any other Ameri can stream. An Englishman has patented a sub marine gas stove for heating tlie water in bath tubs. Over 180,000 motherless chickens are daily turned out by incubators in tlie New England States. The inventor of the rublier tip for lp«d pencils is said to have realized »100,000 for this apparently trifling device. The latest labor-saving machine cleans fish. Now, if there were only one to catch one, tho angler’s outfit would in trutli be complete. Averaging the whole country, there are in round figures five cows per square m ile; in New England there are twelve cows per square mile. Steel has been in use for ship-building only fourteen years, yet it is estimati d that. 06 per cent of the vessels built at tiie preseeit day are of steel. It iij just 250 vears sku-c the ¡first hand kerchiefs were imui«\ 'They were manu factured at Paisley in Scotland, and were originally sold for »1 apiece. Tlie life insurance companies of tlie United States, taking no account of as sessment corporations and societies, hold assets to the value of about »860,000,000. A London inventor has projected a vast water scheme to enable tlie gold de posits in the interior of Western Aus tralia to be worked witli advantage— this by means of artesian well water. Hunters of alligators in Florida are paid lees than »1 for each good skin by tlie tanners. In 1889 the State shipped away 60,000 alligator skins, but in 1890 the number had dwindled to 20,000. Yeast for bread-making was first man ufactured in 1634. It is computed that over 2,000,000 pounds enter into the daily bread of the people ol this country, while double this amount is need in Eu rope. Pens can be made ont of eight metals —steel, braes, copper, gold, silver, plati num, amalgam and aluminium. Ala- miniuni pens are still a novelty, and are paid to last much longer than any other metallic pens. P E R SO N A L MENTION. Georgia Cay van has a fad for collecting fancy pins; she has some that were made in the time of Queen Bess. A bauble which hangs in Miss Helen Gould’s drawing-room is a Japanese crystal, which cost somewhere in the neighborhood of »7,000. Senator Allen of Nebraska is 6 feet 3 inches in height and of robust frame. A chair lias been specially constructed for his accommodation in the Senate. Lord Ibices ter has had two wives, ami his eighteenth child was born a few dayf ago. His eldest child, Lady Powersconrt. is 50 years old. Nevertheless Ieicestei voted against home rale. Dr. William Elliott of New Haven, Ky., is 06 years old, hut on the occasion of a dance at his house a few evening» ago he took np his violin and played the music for the first quadrille.

Som e F acts A bout Preparing tho Ground for W h eat — Other Interesting Matter. It is very important to prepare tlie seed be«! for wheat in a gooil coudi,ion What is neede«l is three or four inches of finely pulverized soil aud a reu.iouably soliil seed bed underneath. After tin- plowing is done tlie instrnmuuUi neces sary to properly prepare in a suitable condition can best be determined by the condition and character of the soil. When the soil is in a condition to plow well and then can be harrowed as fast as plowed, the work of preparing in a goo«l tilth can be greatly lessened. But it is often tlie case before the plowing can be done the ground gets hard and «Try, and it will require considerable work to se cure tlie proper tilth. Hard lumps can he worked down with a drag or roller, and with a drag it may be necessary to go over twice. Tlie disc harrow can after be used to a good advantage in fining the soil. If hard rains have run tiie soil togettier, tlie disc or Acme harrow can be used to a good ailvantage. There is ail ailvantage in using the rollers and drag, especially in leveling and fining tlie soil, while tlie disc or Acme harrows are neeileil if the soil becomes packed. Generally it is best to go over sufficiently often to keep down the green growth that may start up and to keep the sur face mellow, using tiie implement best suited to keep the soil in this condition with the least work. Generally before drilling it will be a good plan to use the spike-tooth harrow and tiien the roller; this will leave tlie soil in good shape for ilrilling. If the roller is not use«!, tlie harrowing should ni-arlv always be «lone crosswise the way tlie drilling is to ini done, as otherwise it is sometimes diffi cult to follow tlie drill rows. By getting tlie soil in a good tilth before sowing tlie seed a much better germinator of the se«-«l ami a more vigorous start to grow can I k - secured. In order to do this to tiie licet ailvantage the work should be commence«! as soon after plowing as [ kjs - silile. But sometimes, wtien the grounii is hard and dry, it may be necessary to wait, until after a rain softens the lumps, when the work can be puslie«! along very rapidly. But in all cases it will pay to work until tlie soil is in a good tilth be fore sowing the.seed. By having the soil in a good tilth when tlie proper time for sowing arrives tlie work can be pushed along very rapidly. TllK IMPROVEMENT OF LAND. There are varidus ways in which land may be greatly improved, and the care ful farmer who wishes to make a success in his business will always be on the alert for new methods of culture, and « ill also follow those which lie lias fouml from actual trial to be good. Good drain age is essential for land on which cereal crops are to tie raise«!. A farmer may easily obtain information regarding the drainage of a piece of larnF by digging holes four or five feet deep and noting where tlie water standH in these. On corn land this water level should be forty- two inches below the surface. Another metho<l of improving tlie soil is by thor ough cultivation. This is necessary in order to obtain the best results. Opin ions differ very widely in regard to <li>ep ami shallow plowing. At tho Perdue find.) experiment station experiments have been minle on corn plats, plowing four to twelve inches deep. The first year there was no perceptible difference, hut the second vear there was a great gain from deep plowing and sabeoiling. The effects of <U-ep plowing and subsoil- ing are not always apparent the first year, hut where it has iie«-n practiced the crop of wheat ttie second year lias been double that of a field shallow plowed, with the sameamimntof manure applied toeiu-h. Subxoiling loosens up more of the earth, nnd furnishes more plant food an«l moisture than shallow plowing. In elav lands it is desirable to change tha eomlitions in order to keep it from bak ing during very dry weather. Air-slak«sl lime is one of tlie iM>st substances which can be used for this purpose. The amount to apply varies, ranging from three to twelve tons per acre, according to the stiffness in tlie clay. Application can tie mail«: at intervals of seven to ten years. If. A._ Huston, Indiana State Chemist, advises farmers with hcavv elav lands to experiment with a small field ill this way, ts-ing earefnl that tlie lime is left in small piles long enough to become well air-slaked, and then have it ilistriliuted and well mixed with the soil. Using lime in this wav makes tlie laml easy to pulverize, ami changes it from a liaril compact muss to one easily broken into particles which the plant roots can penetrate. Halt is also used sometimes in tlie same way, and has the same effect on the soil, but is not always beneficial; ■ hence lime is more highly recommended. plant trees . No matter whether a farmer wants to plant spruce for timber, a few on the windward side of the houses and barns to shelter them from the fierce storms will prove a profitable investment. The Norway spruce is a rapid grower, and a windbreak once planted will every year prove more valuable. It makes a better « imlbreak to plant two rows about ten feet apart, with some deciduous trees between. What wind one tree «loes not obstruct the other row will catch. Do not let stock lose flesh during hot weather. Better feed hay or green corn ttian allow animals to become poor. K«>ep one cock for eai-li breeding pen of fourteen hens. This will do for ail breeds hut Asiatic*, which require more males. Bantams may be hatched at any time. If the young are carefully kept from lice, they will do as well in summer as if hatched earlier. Success in raising hogs depemls upon good breeding, feeiling and general care. "B ad lu ck " is another expression for poor management. Geese can be picked three or four times during spring and snramer and in this «ray made profitable. But tha leather« should be pulled only when they are ripe.
