to reconcile and heal up sectional

organs, spread charming pictures
before Us Of the harmony and
prosperity that were to be effect

= UEla wheat,


ed on the excellent quality and
Weld of wheat in this county, and
upon the ready sale, fer seed, of
several shipments made from here
to Los Angeles, The variety rails
ed here is that usually known IS
g Sonora" wheat. Here is what
the Anaheim Gazette has to say
about it in Los Angeles county:
Some years ago persons were
saying, "II wheat could only be
grown here to some extent, what
q blessing it would be to the COun-
ty. But such a thing is impCssi-
BE. The rust viii Kill il, even if
it grows we'll" Nearly every one
was deferred from sowing wheat
by such talk as this, and the cul-
tivatIon Of this cereal was gen
orally regarded IS an experiment
attended with much risk. : few
persons, however, were not fully
satisfied about this, and determin-
cd to give wheat 2 fair trjal.
We have taken. some pains TO
converse with Wheat-groWers
upon this subject, and one Of the
farmers in his vicinity gave US
the following facts, Let him tell
his own story;
January z, 1879, 7 sowed 261
pounds Of Sonora wheat, from
which were threshed $500 pounds
Of fr5t-class gram. The volunteer
crop Of 1875 was equal in quality
but less in quantity. just after
Christmas, 1875, I s0wed SO acres
Of the same kind Of wheat, which
yielded more than sixteen cental8
Of The very finest quality per acre.
/ believe that Sonora wheat sOWn

soil, not TOO sandy, if the ground
is in condition to bring it up with

Is sufficient rain to produce 3 GOOD

Thousands Of dollars, When the
conditions 5ra complied with, it IS
as sure a crop IS barley, hut con-
not safely be s0wn as late. Ex-
perio0ce may prove th2t we may
trust the sowing later than ian.
1U,h, bur at pr6sentaG earlier date

this merit fer this locality: It
ripens earlier in the season than
most other kinds. and has passed
the period Of risk when the warm
weather Of early summer sets in.
the %, ,00@ acres s0Wn with wheat

favor as q staple crop, and / think
the time is not far distant when

SAWYER ELECTED.

The contest for Congress in the eighth

bitter and vigorous ever made in the West
Since the famous-or infamous cam
paign Of the purifiers" in Kansas, there
has never been as much filth emptied into
any canvass in this part of the country, as
was poured upon the unoffending heads OF
our neighbors across the river during the
campaign just closed. Every inch of the
ground was fought over, bitterly and des-
perstely, and the result shows the election
of Sawyer, Independent, over Crisp, resu-
lar Democratic nominee, by a majority of
six to ten hundred. Tne Kansas CITY

from its standpoint, as follows:
The interest in the Congressional election

came the information that complete returns

and this was the last straw and dispelle,j
any lingering hopes in the hearts of the Crtsp
men. The news was confirmed later I'm the
day, and, while the excitement died away
and the suspense was ended, still the feeling
were intense and mutterings long aud loud

Were not very JGbilant. but seemed wonder

their favor and elected their man on the face
OF the returns. Towards evening everything
quieted down, and everyb body seemed glad
that the agony was over at last
The status OF the matter al present Is about
as follows: Complete returns from four out

The State of Iowa is giving much attsn-
tion lately to the cultivation and care of
fish, having regular State department Tor
that purpose. The Commissioner recently
made an expedition TO save the young
game from the receding waters of the bay
Gus on the Upper Mississippi, ard his re-
port of results shows that it was worth
while. The expedition went on the little
steamer 'Dart." Operations were COM
menced north of Lansing, and the bsyous
on both sides of the river were thoroughly
seined as far down as Burlington. The
Commissioner estimates that they saved at
least 100000 fish from destruction, the
greater part of which were returned to the
waters of the Mississippi. Several car
loads, were, however, sent by rail to the
interior streams and dumped in. The fish
saved were black, yellow, and striped bass
-crappie, pike, etc, and were from one to
four inches in length.
