THE CRoPs.-From all parts of our
county comes the most glowing reports
of the growing wheat crop. Notwith-
standing the late day at which the
spring wheat was sown, the s'noist-
ure" with which we have been almost
continuously visited has pushed the
crop forward at a rapid rate, and it is
almost as forward as grain sown a
month earlier in former years. 1t is
now definitely ascertained that the
breadth of grain sown in the county is
e much larger than ever before, many
farmers having been stimulated by the
advancing price to sow double the
amount OF former years. There is, in
point of fact, hardly any land idle that
was available, and much is put in that
was heretofore entirely neglected as
being too poor for successful cultiva-
ton.
The crop prospects of "Old Linn"
were never so fiattering as now, and
she will this. year add additional lau-
refs to her already well-earned neputa-
ton of being the banner wheat grow
ing county of the Pacific coast.
: -EcoNoNY IN A HoRN.-Our City
CoCncH is SO everlastingly economical
as TO have three copies of all the ordi-
nances written out and posted up at the
street corners, like country crossroads
town, instead of publishing them in the
city papers. Now it costs more to write
out three copies of each ordinance pass
ed than it does to publish them in de-
cent shape through the papers; and we
submit if it is not humiiiating spec
tacle to see the third city in population
in the State presenting such a narrow
contracted, prescribing. close-fisted
specimen of financiering as these post
cd written ordinances display to the
world at large. The Taxpayers pay
their money to have ordinances enact
ed, and they would like to see them
when they are enacted, and not one
man in ffty.can stop on the street to
read a long string of manuscript, if it
be ever SO plainly written.
DoN'T BITE AT IT.-A precious ras-
cal, signing himself ARobert II. Hol-
land. No. 142 Fulton street, New York
City," has been flooding our country
with "confdentiap letters to boys land
even some of our most respectable mem
offering I'd furnish them counterfeit
money on the most reasonable terms.
It is hoped that no one in "this neck of
the woods, will be foolish enough to
bite at such a transparent hoax. In
the first place, you wouldn't get the
money if you sent for it, and in the
next place you would certainly be de-
tected and punished If you were so un-
fortunate as to receive your spurious
!. greenbacks.
SOLD OUT.-We learn from reliable
authority that the Corvallis & Yaquina
Bay Wagon Road Company last Mon
day sold their road and franchises (the
latter consisting Of a half million acres
of land to Mr.. j. e. Hogg, for the re-
markably small sum of twenty -four
thousand dollars-the purchaser pay
ing six Thousand dollars down and CIV
ing his individual note for the remain
ing eighteen thousand. This seems
like a remarkably cheap bargain and
singularly easy terms of payment
Mr.. Hogg promises to locate large
colony of Eastern Immigrants upon
the lands at an early day.
S.. tGoDEY's LADY Book for June is
promptly on hand with its usual
amount of choice literary matter and
splendid fashion plates. The .engrav-
ings also are beautiful. It still contin-
ues to hold its place as the ladies,
favorite, and besides its fashion,
household and literary departments,
which the ladies appropriate exclusive
ly to themselves, its architectural de-
partment Is a great benefit to the whole
country and should make "Godeyu a
favorite with gentlemen also.
AADmITTAScE ERKE.-We are re-
quested to state that no admittance will
be charged at the Fair Ground during
