Marshall Hill, who has been in the employ of the railroad coinuanvat Pasco for some time past, is now stationed at i neney, wasn. 0. 1). Owen was down from the timber last week. He has not killed anv bears lately, but those animals had better keep out of his sight. The annual session of the Mid-Columbian association of the Congregational churches will bo held in Lexington dur ing the first week in November. The forfeiture bill remains as last week, though only one bill is ahead of it in the house, and it may he finished up to-day or to-morrow. Preparo to W. J.

While handling wheat at the ware house yesterday C. A. Johnson slipped and fell on the edge of the platform, re ceiving severe bruises which will lay mm oft tor a tew days. Up to date Blair has shipped 10,(i((8 husliels of wheat, and there are row- three carloads on the platform. The price to-uay is oo cents, (quality good. &icks averaging well up to 140 pounds. The Hena MarselU dramatic comimnv played three nights here this week. The iioys and girls of the company may be future Booths and Modjeskas; the town may be a future Tacouiu; it was a stand-on. Hev. E. II. Beach and Carl came lown from their mountain camp last week, and tne former returned Alondav. Mr. Hone's health continues (mite noor. and he will probably remain in camp until tne tail rains.

"James, Leach was down from the liarv st "fields of Umatilla last week to see his little boy, who was so badly burned recently. He returned, but is expected home next Saturday to remain permanently. Little Halpli endures his Hiifterings like a hero, and his condition is steadily improving. Early on Tuesday morning of last week the First National bank at The Dalles was robbed of $0,450. The job was evidently the work of professionals, and must have taken two or three weeks. The concrete pier upon which the vault stands was tunneled and a bole drilled through the back of the safe. Actual results of the most favorable character, produced by a few farmers who have planted grape vines in this county and taken proper care of them after they were planted, prove conclu sively that grapes will do well here. Eli Summer, on Willow creek, can show such results, though the creek lands are not as well adapted as the uplands for grape culture. As Charlie Parkins' facetious state ments to the Gnzette seem to have been taken in earnest, we will say that the Bi doet has not been sold or removed to Heppner, but continues its little one horse business "at the old stand." It still blossoms, without irrigation, every Thursday afternoon, and if it ever con cludes to wilt due publicity will be given the Vt. THE NEICHBORS.

A haystack of about 50 tons belonging to John Owens, the well-known Bear creek rancher, was destroyed by fire Saturday night. Wm. Eector, who has had a long run with his steam threshing outfit, during the last four weeks averaged 1,000 sacks daily, the best record of the Beason. It is reported that Joseph Fix, while hunting in the mountains near Alba, shot himself in the foot, and a portion of that member had to be amputated. George Rentley's barn und contents on Wild Horse were destroyed by fire a few days since, caused by sparks from a locomotive. There was no insurance. In a deep canyon on Ilidaway creek J. W. Terry the other day found the skull of some extinct animal. It is very thick, an inch or more in some places. "Con" Driscoll, one of Umatilla coun ty's pioneers, who was known to all old timers, and new-timers for that matter, in this section, died last Friday at his home near Vinson. Uncle Davy Coffman is entitled to the potato-raising championship in this sec tion. He has six mammoth tubers on exhibition at Howard Brothers' which weigh sixteen pounds. Thirty-two saks of "Mammoth Pearl" potatoes were brought to town yester day from Harry Mahler's farm on Birch creek, and it is claimed that not one of tho tubers will weigh less than a pound. S. M. Richardson is harvesting his second crop of cabbages this year at his garden below Pendleton. Some of the heads of cabbage weigh two pounds, and in one instance three beads were found on one stalk. At Vansycle station, on the 18th inst., during an altercation between J. II. Keid, agent for tho (). & W. T. Co., and a man named McAfeo in charge of the elevator, the latter gave the former a deep cut in the neck. Reid will prob ably reuover. McAfee was arrested. Weston Lender.

Thursday morning two young men ran a horse race the full length of Water street, yelling like Indians and beating their horses with their hats. Athena Republican. Adams haB a brass band. The Athena band gave a ball Friday evening. The occasion was the dedica tion of Raymond's new ball. Several threshing outfits have pulled out for the Palouse country, where threshing has just commenced." James Stamper captured thirty head of stolen horses and brought them to Athena Thursday. They were tho prop erty of Jim Giies, J. "R. Crews, Bill Taylor and Mr. McAlistor, a stock man of the Touchet. The horses were cauizht in the mountains between the Umatilla and Walla Walla rivers, w here they have been for some time, as the altered brands were nearly all healed up. The brands had been disfigured by adding to the old ones, as for instance if the old brand was J, by adding on a distlgurer could make A, V, N, M. or most any other letter or figure. It is said that this work has been going on for several years, and that many hundred head of stolen horses have been driven across the mountains and sold in eastern mar kets. The thieves havo not been cap tured. OHA.NT COl'NTY Canyon City New. Mining on the bars of the John Day seems to be about played out, and the Chinese talk of shutting down opera tions in their claims. Contractor Guernsey lias the new bridge across the John Day completed, and when the road supervisor builds the approaches there need be no kick. Grant connty has no wheat to ship outside her borders instead, she wants to buy some flour, all owing to the in sufficiency of her milling facilities. It is said that the yield of g'ain in the John Day valley this year is not equal to the straw in other words the grain crop is short while the straw crop is long. It is learned that Abe Thorp, a resi dent of Haystack precinct, also a neigh bor of the late departed J. D. Hunsaker, the blonde bramier, has suddenly dis appeared, from Grant county because quite a band of cattle belonging to his neighbors were found running around with bis brand on them. Long Creek Eagle. The Paddysville store is completed and Jim Allen is happy. John Day ranchmen are furnishing the 1-ong Creek section with fruit. Most all of Long Creek's visitors say it is "the liveliest little town in Oregon." Notwithstanding the fact that last winter killed a great many cattle, horses and sheep in the Long Creek section, times are just as good, if not better, than they have been hen toforo at the fall rai r-s. AGRICULTURAL NOTES. Germany eats California peaches. Produce the best and get the most. In Kansas "0 per cent of the voters are farmers. We exported 40,000,000 bushels- of wheat last year. The little leaks on tho farm are often what take the profits. Broom corn to the value of $111,000 was exported last year. There are six farmers in the senate and thirty-five in the house. One-third of the people of Oklahoma are reported to be in need of food and seed. For some reason Australian bred horses are noted as great weight car riers. You can force your animals to eat poor food, but nature will get even with you. Last Saturday marked the closo of one of the most successful sessions of the state fair. A mixture of one-third each of com, oats and barley makes a good ration of grain for work teams. In Great Britain grain in process of shipment is stored free of charge by the railroads for the first two weeks. The acreage of wheat in the British Islands this year is 1:10,000 acres less than the usual area devoted to that crop. The United Stales exports nne-fuurth of its wheat, one-lifth of its cheese, one half of its tobacco and two-thirds of its cotton. It rarely pays to set egas for batching much alter tho first of June. The weather is too hot to give a good sturt to grow. Tl ic corn exported last vear amounted to 102,000,000 bushels. This is almost twice as much us Was exported in any previous year. It is estimated that the potato crop of tho United States will be short 100,000, 000 bushels, and the European crop 2:10,000,000 bushels. The grape crop of New Jersey will be a failure this year, owing to rot and the rose bug. The loss to growers will bo more than $500,000. One of the advantages in grinding feed is that stock can he kept in a bettttr con dition on a less quantity of mixed ground grain than if fed whole. A plant has been established at Port age, Ohio, for manufacturing a substi tute for lumber from rice straw, an abundant and burdensome product. Those who carry away the prizes at the live stock shows and fairs are this breeders that ullow nothing to interfere with tho growth of the animals from birth until maturity. Two Boone county (Iowa) farmers ex perimented this year on a small scale by salting several acres of wheat fields. Tho yield on the suited land doubled the yield on the ''fresh" land, the grain also being much heavier. As far as can be learned from statis tics at hand the mortgage foreclosures in Kansas for tho first six months of this year amount to nearly $2,000,000. A large amount of this is on wild land taken up by speculators and mortgaged for what it would bring. FROM COOSEBERRY. Knr the Hipoirr. Threshing is nearly finished in this vicinity. Farmers are busy hauling their grain to market. Mrs. Estcb, who has been quite sick for somo time, is now ablo to be up. The Gooseberry school commenced on tho 15th instant with Mrs. Powell us teacher. Misses Mellie ami Emma Howerton, of Heppner, are visiting friends and rel atives here. Sam Miller's little boy, who was se verely injured somo days ago by falling over u rocky blutr, is recovering". Allison Slmdduck contemplates dis posing of his property hern and remov ing to California on account of his wife's ill health. W. P. Snyder is teaching the school in Tash district, near llardman. Mr. S. reports a studious school with a good attendance. Crops have turned out better than was expected. N. R. McV'ay's blue stem wheat made 10 bushels per acre; little club, 15 or 10 bushels. These yields are about an aveiage of this locality. The young folks met at the school bouse a few evenings since to reorganize the litorary society, but concluded to postpone reorganization till a later date. A spelling-bee was then proposed for the evening, which was carried on with considerable amusement till a late hour. Ghinoo. GoosF.ntnitY, Sept. 't, 1S90. "NEW COLDEN" WHEAT. An experiment in w heat raising at J. L. Cox's place, at tho head of Spear's canyon, six miles from Yokum station, is attracting somo attention. Three years ago Mr. Cox secured three or four pounds of "New Golden" wheat from tho agricultural department, and planted it. The next year he sowed the crop raised from tho first seed, and this year he had a thirty-acre tract of tho now wheat. It was cut by R. P. Wallace, who says it will yield not less than twenty bushels per acre, and this in face of the fact that a field of little club wheat adjoining could not be touched by the header, and was found unfit for anything but hay. A sample of the grain brought to Pendleton is said by W. S. Byers, to whom it was showed, to be fine milling wheat. It will bo gown exclusively for next harvest by Mr. Cox, and his neighbors are thinking seri ously of trying it also. The experiment proves one thing that an occasional change of seed wheat is beneficial, a fact long ago recognized by farmers in the east. Knit Oregouian. Crape Are All Right.

In productive ness at three years old from the slip be finds the Muscat of Alexandria tho best, Rose of Peru, California Mission, Royal Muscatine. Sweetwater, white .Muscat and black Hamburg next, and Concord last, though age of vine may make a difference in relative yields.
