The La Grand Sentinel of last Saturday.,
says: On last Monday night, Sanford
Baker camped with some treighters at the
old California ranch about six miles this
side of MeaclIam's. About ] o'clock at
night they were aroused by noise, and on
looking out two men were discovered 'sgo-
ing through" the '.grub box One OF the
freighters got up. and undertook to hold
conversation with the men, who did not
appear to be very communicative. They
mounted their horses and rode away I'm the

Heavy rains came near causing an entire
failure of the Walla Walla, fair last week.
The races were not very exciting, and of
the exhibition the Statesman says: t'Ihe
total entries up to the time we close our
| report foot up 161, which is vastly less
than there would have been under more
favorable circumstances. In the pavilion
the display of fruit, although limited in
tables the exhibit is fair. On one OF the
counters we noticed samples of goods man
ufaetsred at the Dayton Woolen Mill, and
certainly highly creditable representations
of home manufactures. But it is in the
| line of live stock that the fair stands pre-
| eminent. Looking over the pens we
noticed a number of Cotswold, Leicester
and Merino sheep, thoroughbred that can
not be excelled anywhere. The exhibition
of improved breeds of pigs is very fine, and
indicates that our farmers understand that
| it pays better to feed wheat to hogs than to
sell it at so cents bushcl.''

A correspondent writing from Curry
country says: An expedition from the
Smithsonian Institute, under the supervis-
ion of Paul Shoonenaker, late of the
United States Northwest Coast Survey,
sent out for the purpose of gathering In
dian relics, to be exhibited at the coming

The M9untafnccr says: We know of some
farmers in Wasco counuy who have their
wheat sowed. 1t has been lying tn the
! dust tor weeks, but now these rains on the
the warm earth will soon cover the fields
: with green. We believe, if the fall wheat
! ! question were fairly tested in this section,
! that Wasco county could compete with the
! Willamette valley in the quality, at least,
, of its wheat, and it may be that in the
: future these slopes may yield golden
harvests.
