Strawberries. "Perhaps you think T am yarning about those big strawberries," said Dr. Port to a Journal man as lie passed on Saturday. "If seeing is be lieving, come in and look and pick for jourself." Such large, luscious berries, in the open ground no hot house or forcingaboutthem the writer has not seenfor many mouths. And this is September. "They are Fisk and Brooks ever-producing strawberries. You sec the green o ics and the bluoms. That is sig nificant of the continual growtli of the prohi party." In the same lot were apple trees planted out this year, from which apples had been taken that the trees might not spend their strength, but they have broken out into bloom again. From one evergreen blackberry vino that N -till loaded with big, ripe berries and green and red ones, thd doctor lias taken, this seas6n, not less than five bushels. And tho vine had no -pecial care.

They are preparing tho walls for the reception of tho brick which Con tractor Langford will begin laying within a day or two. All things come, they say, to him who waits, aul the citizens ofTortland have watched for many long days and nights for work to resume on the Viilard hotel. Now that this event has come to pass songs of praise, a salute of forty guns, a stieet parade, a mass meeting or some other out ward sign of the inward pride and joy that is swelling In bur bosoms is ill order. Let urf have something, even a torchlight procession, to attest the popular delight over tho fact that work on the Viilard hotel has been resumed. Portland News. A Stand Lrgil OpIiUi. E.

A Wife and Mother, While Tempora rily Deranged, Drowns Herself, Yesterday Morning. Residents In the North end of University Addition, and Mill street, about 2 o'clock on Sunday morn ing, were disturbed by excited cries and the lnfrrylng of people towards the creek. It quickly transpired that Mrs. W. D. Wheeler, whose husband used to have a butcher shop on Court street, had left her home, while wandering in her mind, and had fallen over an eight foot abrupt, gravel bank into about two feet of still water. From a scratch on the forehead it is likely she had first struck against a wire fence. In her fall she probably was stunned, and then smothered in the water. Dr. S. R. Jeup, the family physician, who was quickly summoned, thinks she neither breathed nor suffered after her fall. She was naturally a very bright woman, but five years, ago had a mental infirmity. Her husband, who is nearly distracted over the sad occurence, feating something of the kind, had been carefully watch ing her, hut after she had fallen asleep, and supposed to he safe for the night, she awoke and noiselessly slipped off. Tho whole family was a very harmonious and loving one. Mrs. Wheeler leaves a babe and five other children. The funeral took place to-day, out near the residence, In the Waldo Hills. l'.inliir 1'arailox. Prof. C. Norris promises to give one of the finest exhibitions of canine intelligence ever witnessed upon tho American stage at the Opera House Tuesday, September 11th. The following Is from tho Oregonian : "Two performances, one iu the afternoon and the other iu the even ing, were given yesterday by Prof. Norris with his troupe of trained dogs at the New Park theater. At the matinee there was a crowded house, composed piineipally of wtuucii and children. In tho even ing they weie greeted by another large houe. It was the unanimous vetdiet that this was one of the best exhibitions of canine intelligence ever witnessed in this city. The performances certainly substantii. ted every claim made for theedogs. Such acting, tumbling and almost human understanding as is display ed by these dogs is something not to be witnessed often, aud the profess or, who has had the patience and perseverance to undertake such a training, deserves great credit. Fritz, the King of Dogs, is deserving of special mention. The three clown dogs kept the audience In a roar of laughter. All tho rest of tho dogs acted their parts equally well. Tho entire eutertalumcnt gave thorough satisfaction, as tiie large and, appre ciative audience testified, and is wor thy tho patronage of every town where he may appear." Prices of admission; adults, 50 cent.; chil dren, 25 cents; reserved seafs, extra, 2.5 cents at Patton's book store. U Cable Utoit We can only Judge by what oth ers say.

Here is what a farmer from the biggest state In tho Union writes. Although not Intended for publi cation It is too Interesting to many readers to bo thrown into tho waste basket. "PKOl'IUKTOItS WKKKI.Y C.VVITAI. Journal Salem, Oregen: Gkk TI.KMKX: I hud tho pleasure of reading your paper, mailed to my address at Clio. I also read the pamphlet of the Oregon Land Com pany . I am pleased with both, and nmpcrsunded that the advantages and products of your country are such that if 1 can sell my property here I shall pay Oregon a visit. The gentleman then speaks of hav ing been told by some one "who professes to know everything and don't know much either" that n good many people coming from tho other states die before they can get acclimated lu Oregon- which Is quite a new Idea to Oregonlans who sec the great number whojeomowest because of our superior climate and who begin to mend In health as soon as they reach here This is a very uncertain farmluir country, and from what 1 read of Oregon 1 am satisfied 1 can do well there. For t o years nast this state has been drouth stricken and nothing was made. Consequently farmers have got financially behind and times are very hard, though with good crops this year the nut' jority will come out somewhat ahead. Wheat is turniuirout all the way from lvo to twelve anil a half bushels per acre, sonic crops even less; oats from 30 to o0 bushels, corn 25 to 40. Prices are no higher than with you. I did not mention cotton as that is the staple of this country. We have no idea yet what It will do but the recent laius will bring us half a crop provided the worms do not eat it up, aud we are threatened with them. Insects of all kinds, aud hail storms seem to be the trouble with this country. I would llko ti li':mi M(imi nini'it about Oregon through your paper, so i semi my suusrripuou lor six mouths, aud then will be in Salem and shake luunK with you iu the JoiniXAi. office.
