Patrons of Husbandry recently
adopted resolution requesting the
Iowa Legislature to so amend the
Statute that every person instituting
suit in the civil courts shall be re-
CURED to give bond for the payment
ofcests; that the losing party, if able
shall pay the costs otherwise the
costs shall he made from the bond

Some change in the law is impera-
lively needed, in reference to Grimm

protect counties from the payment of
such large sums asihey now pay an

From, Oregon.

r.e Pacific Coast correspondent OF
IN Homestead, writing from the
'.al,,mbia Valley, Oregon, in late
..or qives some figures in reference
the marvellous yield of wheat. the
no great staple CT that country. In
,ha absence to the contrary, we must
.;ya his statements credit for truth.
lie says;
rail- wheat is sown at MI times
s,am June 10 January, and spring
heat from January to April. feel
snite sgfe in placing the average Of
W. former at thirty bushels, ana the
tor at twenty-five bushels per
' snrs To assure you of this, | will
a'Iva YOU facts that came under my
ari.eryation while here during this
oaason of harvest and threshing. ]
mid give you scores of cases TO Illus
rate the prodigious yield Of this ce-
,oal. but viii. content myself with
,brpp. One gentleman near Walla
W.lla City, harvested, this season, IA
,,oIunteer crop, the third one from
tbe sowing, which comprised 200
arres. and averaged, at threshing,
tbirty.6ve bushels per acre. Anoth-
sr man i'm the adjoining neighbor-
hood harvested and threshed. during
n,v STAY, eighty acres of fall wheat
hat averaged seventy-thfee bushels
and twenty pounds per acre. An
other. in the vicinity of Waitsburg,
LITTLE farther south than the others,
harvested and threshed from five
bushels of seed sown just one year
tnfore. four hundred and one and a
half bushels, making an average of a
rifle over eighty bushels per acre.
I could give one or two cases, well
authenticated, Of results still more
sarpassing, but forbear, fearing that
NAV have oyer-taxed your creduli-
ty. even now. The wheat grown
anywhere on this Pacific coast is
greatly superior to, and commands a
much better price in the English
market, than does ours in Iowa. In
hayest it is cut with a header, and
,hreshed from the wagon.
The same letter states the yield of
corn per acre at 80 to so bushels. No
coal in the vicinity. Lands range in
price from SO to $l5 per acre, accord
ing to location and improvements.
Farms are often sold for less than
cost of Improvements. Wagons cost
the farmer 5000 and upward. The
writer never saw such utter poverty
in money anywhere. Wheat only
brings 37t cts, and that in goods.
No one will pay money and goods
bring exorbitant prices. Farmers
are overhowing with substance; but
are so poor in current coin that but
few are able to raise the fee necessary
to join the Grange. ...
All these evils are charged upon a
merciless transportation company
which charges 3 cts. per pound for
carrying freight to or from San
Francisco, and thus more than con-
sumes the value of the wheat
Farmers are asking Congress for an
appropriation to build railroad fol
their relief.

Tie New Orleans Picdy,6le, speak
ing Of the question of the reimburse
ment of Southern siave-holding reb-
els for the loss of their freed slaves,
says:
That claim, in due time, will be
made by Kentucky, Maryland, Della
ware and Missouri, and will be rec
ognized and paid. We hold this to
be certain, if the government of the
United States is to exist at all as a
free, and, therefore, a just govern
flent.
The late Democratic achieve
ments I'm the North make the South
ern Democracy bold. One hundred
millions viii be a nice little sum to
reimburse Southern rebels with.
How will Lucas county Democrats
relish the idea of helping to foot that
bill? Continue to encourage them
by your votes, give them power, and
then look out for the worst Chart
ton Patriot.
