ley; isn't either of them; and the
"lead'ng agriculturists" of the State
are puzzling themselves about it.
Its history is strange. About four
years ago farmer living in Tila-
NOOK county, Oregon, killed wild
goose, in whose crop he found pc.
culiar looking grain. He planted it;
it multiplied wonderfully, and he
subsequently raised forty bushels on
half an acre of land. It's growth is
peculiar, some seven to ten stalks
springing up from one root. The
kernel is very thin and compact, of a
bright straw color, and extremely
hard.-Iribune.

"Two shows are in town-a female
warbler with violinist, and a fellow
who says he can read mems minds.
1t is wonder to me the latter has
escaped death SO long, but is in no
danger here, where cvcrybody's
thoughts arc righteous. If he can
do all he says, he would be more

Los ANGELES, Dec. eS.-This
evening, about dark, the bodies of a
man and woman were found on the
sidchill near the corner of Third and
Grasshoppcr streets From letters
on their persons they are ascertaincd
TO be Edward Foster and Celia
O'Toole, who were n,arrid last night.
They are supposed to have suicidcd
because man named O'Toolc
claimed the wo.nqn as his wife.
The first claimant left for San Fran
cisco to-day, on the steamer. A
strychninc bottle and double -barrclcd
pistol were found on The mans per-
son, the pistol still loaded and the
bottle empty, leaving no doubt as to
the manner of their death. They
rested side by side, the woman's arm
under the mans head. They seem
ed to have died without struggle.
The letter found with the suicides
has been opened. 1t is from both,
and concludes by saying they care
for each other" Foster asks to have
them buried side by s,dc, and leaves

Columbia County, W. Il.

a correspondent of ihc JTtst Shore
has the following to say in regard to
the new county recently carved out
of Walla county:
Ihe new county, as it is now
bounded, is vast tract of excellent
farming, grazing and timbcrcd coun-
try, leaving the old county of WaIla
Walla large and populous one vet.
The county of Columbia is about
sixty miles in length, and as to width
l am unable to state, but it embraces
the grand and fertile valley lying be.
tween Snake river and the Blue
Mountains, and it is safe to saw that
the strip of actual farming land.
which will equal any wheat land of
Oregon or California, is at least
thirty miles wide. Thirty by sixty
8t farmin0 land will Is -r.-<'c, oic
y" map OF equal distancrs cov.r
in the State of California. AS for
the extent of farming land in the
counties of Oregon, cannot speak.
The natural features ofthis county
consist of narrow creek valleys, or
bottoms, from one half to one and
one e-half miles wide, the creeks being
skirted with cotton wood and other
timber and high. rollin. prairics of
black, rick-looking sandy land.
These creek bottoms, generally, are
settled with apparently old farms,
while the high prairie lands arc
scarcely touched as to farms or set
tlcmcnt. The high lands, however,
have been thoroughly tested, and arc
found to produce heavy crops of
wheat, barley and oats.
The town of Dayton, Ithc county
seatl, is beautifully situated village.
1t is on an almost level plat of sandy
land at the junction Of two branches
of the lucia river or creek. There
are about one hundred houses in the
town proper, inhabited either for
business or residences. The riycr
running through it is rapid, clear
stream, and capable of running any
amount of machinery. Run by this
water-power are splendid Touring
mill, owned by MIR. Wall; planning
mill, a large and profitable wooden
factory, and other valuable enter
priscs. There are two large stores
Of general merchandise, one stove
and tin store, one drug store, one
large wagon-makcr's shop, many
smaller establishments of the same
kind, several blacksmith's shops, one
good livery stable, an excellent ho-
