There are none but innocent and
virtuous people in Oregon, and the
"sharps' of California are pouring into
the country by hundreds to devour
them. The following paragraph from
the Portland Telegram shows how a
San Francisco sharper came it over the
innocent Portland lads, playing them
''tricks that are vain"
Last evening a San Francisco gam
bier made his appearance at den on
First street and started in on a game of
poker, having on his person in all
about 5000, besides a valuable gold
watch and a solid gold ring the worth
OF both being about $50. Before the
game had been in progress an hour he
had neither money, watch nor ring,
and only managed to secure bed and
bread by borrowing a few dollars from
a friend who had known him below.

The papers are beginning to make
out that there has been too much short
crop report The last Yamhill Repor-

have not suffered near so much from
drouth as many try to make out. Late
spring grain, we admit, is considerably
hurt, but fall grain looks well. Even
on the very top of Chehalem mountain
prospects are fair for a good crop

white.haired old gentleman had a young
woman living at his house on Main street,
near the gates Of the Grove. She waa
light, graceful, and refined in manners,
and she sometimes went with the old
gentleman on ,Eis. evening walks. Last
