CROPS in the Willamette valley have suf-
fered much more from the dry weather pre-
vailing for six weeks past than in this sec
ton. The Willamette Farmers last report
is as follows: "The continued dry weather
will prove ruinous to much late sown grain,
and thousands of acres will not pay to cut.
This is true of all parts of the valley, and no
doubt elsewhere. 1t is singular that grain
only few inches high is heading out-atter
a fashion, and will only be fit for pasturage.
The yield of hay will also be greatly dimin-
shed Wells that have gone through dry
seasons heretofore, with good yield of water,
dried up this year in June, as we know to
our cost"

The LEGACY TAN Pursuant to an order
from Washington, the Collector of Internal
Revenue in this Territory is at present bus
ilv engaged in the work of overhauling the
records of the Probate Courts of the various
counties of the Territory, for the purpose OF
ascertaining in what cases, heirs and devlsees
came into property in this Territory between
1862 and 1872, without paying to the United
States the tax on such income, required by
the internal revenue laws then i'll force In
all such cases discovered by the Collector,
steps will be at once taken to enforce pay
ment of the tax. When the parties prlma-
rily liable cannot he reached, administrators
will be called upon and may have to pay,
even though they may have long ago been
discharged from their trusts, and have not
retained any OF the assets descended; and
when all other remedies fail, real estate will
be held for the tax, even in the hands OF IN
nocent purchasers without notice. These
proceedings, we are informed, will be certain
to bear hard upon many persons in the Ter
ritory.

over those of foreign manufacture. all other

MALT LIQUORS.
Have become articles Of general consumption
here as in every o'her part of the ULited States,
and the demand is constantly increasing. The
fact has been demonstrated in all Western CON-
munities that the decrease Of the use of ardent
spirits. is in proportion to the substitution Of
wholesome beer. No country is better adapted
TO the production of good beer than this. Tie
climate is favorable. the hops produced of the
best quality. and barley is abundant. There is
no part of the world where better quality OF
draft beer is produced, free from deleterious
drugs, tran by tho North Pacific Railroad
Brewery. at Steilacoom, the North Pacific
brewery. and the Seattle Brewery at this
place. Neither Of these BIeweries resort to the
practics of ''doctoring" to give their liqu ,rs
flavor or the appearance Of age, which cannot be
guaranteed for any of the articles imported from
California or elsewhere. 1t is therefore prudent
sanitary measure, no less than political economy
to patronize cur home breweries. auy.6.

THE NEGRO CREATED BEFORE ADAM.

Prof. Alexander Winchell, of Syracuse
University, has reprinted in pamphlet form,
with the title Addmites and Pre- Addmites,
an essay originally published by him in the
northern Christian Adcoedte, designed to
show that the negro race was in existence
on this globe long before the time of Adam.
He favors, also, reforming the popularity
received chronology, and would place the
creation described in Genesis 10, 500 years
before the birth of Abraham. or 14,37S
years before the present era. At the same
time he would bring down the stone and
lake dwelling ages to within q period of not
more thar 6,000 years ago. In this way,
he thinks, the Biblical record can be made
to agree with the established facts of mod
ern chronological pathological and geologic
cal research. Some special interest attaches
to his views, because the publication of
them has led to his dismissal from the Van
derbilt University, at Nashville, Tenn,
where, in addition to his Syracuse pro.
fessorship, he held the chair of historical
geology and zoology. In spite of his earnest
pr~otestation of orthodoxy, the President of
the university insisted that he was n
revolutionist, and an enemy of g the plan
of redemption" and he had to go.

TIE Law OF REAL ESTATE.

The absolute title of ail lands, streams
and lakes rests in the Government. It
never wholly releases its claims. The law
OF eminent domain gives the sovereign
power the right Mt any time, when neces-
sary, to take back to itself any property
before patented. Subject to that right,
however, the person who receives a certain
quantity Of land has the absolute title
against the whole world.
He may lose it

lie may pass it to another
1st- By sale and deed.
I'd. By gift and deed.
Sd. By will. da
A will can pass no title until after the
testator's death. T
If the owner of land dies leaving no will,
the statute distributes his estate among his
nearest relatives and next of kin. If the
person has no relation or kin, his property,
real and personal, goes to the State.
No contract or agreement for the sale Of
lands, or any interest whatever in real estate,
is binding, unless in writing, signed by the
person to be bound excepting a lease, not
to exceed one year, may be made by verbal
contract, and will be binding.
When IN agreement between two persons
is reduced to writing and signed by the
parties, they will be bound by the terms of
the writing unless the other party can show
fraud or mistake in the transaction. A
party will be held to his agreement unless
he can show beyond a doubt that there was
a mistake in drawing up the writing or the
other party was guilty of fraud. For this
reason parties should use extra care TO have
their whole and entire agreement reduced
to writing, if any part is written.

fences on either side are of solid stone ma.

AN AWFUL STORY.

There was once an awful little girl who
had an awful way of saying lawful" to
everything. She lived in an awful house,
IN an awful street. in IN awful village,
which was an awful distance from every
other awful place. She went to an awful
school where she had an awful teacher,
who gave her awful lessons out of awful
books. Every day she was 30 awful hun.
CRY that she ate an awful amount of food
SO that she looked awful healthy. Her hat
was awful small, and her feet were awfuI
large. She went to an awful church, and
her minister was an awful preacher. When
she took an awful walk she climbed awful
bills, and when she got awful tired she sat
down under an awful tree to rest. In
summer she found it awful hot, and IN
winter awful cold. When it didn't rain
there was an awful drought, and when the
awful drought was over there was an awful
rain So that this awful girl was all the
in an awful state, and if she don't get
over saying lawful" about everything
am afraid she will, by-and-by, become an
awful bore.-Chzfs Ooa Magazine.
