In a short time the water rose ten feet in the well, and the supply is abundant. Last Tuesday, at Vinson, Umatilla county, K. P. Moody, postmaster at that ulace, shot and instantly killed John McElrath. The trouble is said to have arisen from uncomplimentary remarks made by Moody about a young lady with whom McElrath had been keeping company. A called meeting of Hawling post, G A.

Farmers will consult their own interests by forming an acquaintance with his goods and prices. For Horsemen.

Teamsters report the roads in better condition at present than for several years at this season. A number of our farmers intend to barrow their fall-sown grain, in order to break the ground crust which has formed and which hinders the grain's growth. J. C. Haves' house narrowly escaped burning a few days sinco, the fire origi nating in the roof from a defective flue. Luckily, there were several persons present, who succeeded in extinguish ing the blaze. Beach Haines met with an accident last Monday which came near resulting seriously by a runaway team with a plow.

Early spring sown grain is up; the late sown would be materially benefited by rain. The weather has been especially fa vorable to the fruit crop. The warm nights and bright sunshine have done much toward advancing the fruit past its stage liable to be injured by frost. The neach and antile croos will be less than average, while other fruits and berries irive promise of immense yields. Many acreB of new orchards will come into hearing this vear.

One day last week he and Charlie Ilenetiel commenced work on the former's well in order to increase the water supply, and Thos. Ilroitghton, who was fo attend the windlass but whose services were not likely to be needed for some time, took the horses to water about two miles away. A hole was drilled in the rock, and at a depth of about fourteen inches the drill sud denly dropped about ten inches, and the water in the well, men pernaps six inches deep, commenced rising. About an hour afterward a passing neighbor, who was attracted by their shouts, found the men (standing in three feet of water, which was still rising. They were quickly hauled out, and the water in the well continued to rise until it reai-nen a depth of twenty-live feet. There is no dearth, of water on that rancn now. So Sad.

The ingredients for the dose are four gallons oats, two and one-half gallons water, one and a half sticks phosphorus. Hoil till the oat hulls open. It should he dropped into the holes.
