Vv\HE simplicity and practcability of this new
u Plow commends it favorably to the special
notice of every farmer. 1t possesses n decided
superiority over all other plows now in use The
wheels are four feet in diameter, and run on the
unplowed land. Its entire construction is in no
way complicated. The plow is managed in every
manner with ease, and requires only two levers
to be used in making any alteration. The supe-
riority of the Gay" Piow will be clearly shown
by the following certificate
We, the undersigned, citizens of Linn county.
Oregon, having purchased and used upon our
farms the Cay Plow, hereby certify that the
same has given entire satisfaction. Its facility
for adjusting to suit the depth of furrow without
moving from the seat, is simple and easy. We
like the plow for its draught because the same is
brought to bear directly upon the plow-beam in
stead of the carriage also, because it is strong
and durable, all except the wood-w being con-
structed Of wrought iron-no astings are used
The wheels running upon the solid land is an ad-
vantage over other gang-plows, in striking off
land and in plowing, not having to make the nee
essary changes in the machinery, and the seat is
always level. not thr wing the driver forward or
sideways as in other plows. Better work and
more of it can be ACCOMPLISHED by the use of this
Plow than by hand.
We take pleasure in recommending the "G AY''
PLow to our brother farmers as one having no
superior in Oregon.

ter an experience of forty years he finds
no food SO good to keep cattle in heart,
and especially for cows and sheep when

LINCOLN, NEBRAsKA, IL one OF those
western cities which spring up, as 1t
were, In the night, and the latest Infor.
nation In relation to this town may be
acceptable. Nebraska was admitted as
State on March lst, 1867, and the irst
Legislature passed an act constituting
the Governor, the Secretary of State
and the Auditor, commissioners to
choose tho location OF the State capital,
and 10 provide for the erection OF the
public buildings. The capital was or
dered to be called Lincoln, and the
commissioners selected tract In Ian.
caster county, forty.Ave miles from the
eastern boundary and fiity-6ve miles
from the southern boundary. This ac-
tlon Of the commissioners was ap.
proved by the Legislature In septem-
ber, 1867. and since that time the capl.
tai buildings have been erected from
the proceeds Of the sale OF the even.
numbered lots. The city now con-
taius l.G00 Inhabitants, with good
hotels, stores, churches and schools.
The State PenItentiary 10 also situated
hore, and by recent act OF the LsRIs.
lature funds for the erection OF the State
University and Agricultural College,
State LunAtic Asylum are TO be raised
by the sale on September 2Sd, OF twelve
hundred lots, being the odd numb bered
blocks. These buildings are now In
course OF construction, and the work
upon them Is being pushed forward
rapidly. Lincoln is the objective point
Of i've railroads. The Burlington aud
Missouri River Railroad, connecting
with Chicago is being pushed forward
10 Lincoln, and will be continued 10
Fort kearney, uniting with the Union
Pacific Railroad. The Midland Pacific,
running from Nebraska City, has its
entire line under contract, and traIus
will be running to Lincoln next May,
This latter road, It Is stated, Is one Of
the links Of the line by which the
Pennsylvania Central intends 10 reach

GOVERNMENT BONDS have risen
again In American markets, and re.
main firm In foreign markets. The
opening OF direct telegraphlc com.
munlcAtion with France has been the
means Of stimulating dealings in Uni.
ted States 8 2Os In French markets, as
the Investment Inquiry In France Is in.
creasIng, and 1t is believed that before
long United States bonds will enjoy the
same pre-eminence as favorlte invest
ments In France that they do In Ger
many. The unfavorable action Of the
Bank OF England In regard to our
bonds, few months ago, has only de-
veloped their strength. The bank
found that the London operators were
only the purveyors and mIddIemen
who we're supplying the unceasIng de-
mand on the continent, and that now
they had but little power over the price.
The establishment of the French cable,
however, will make Paris 10 some err
tent the rival Of London In that respect,
and the principal market OF that part OF
Europe for dealings In our bonds. and
will by their greater distribution help
their advance toward par In gold.
