reason OF this Is that no money has yet been
taken out OF our mines this season, and
another is that very little stock has been

A southern Oregon paper says Last week

A fearful death was that of VIM. Martin e

There is some trouble about the assets of
the Doty Bros, of Cola. Polk comfy, whose
failure was announced last week. The Sa-
lem Stat@sna1n says Doty Bros. have a
warehouse and have been receiving wheat
from the farmers in the vicinity to the
amount OF 10000 bushels as per receipts civ
en-. Mr.. Ger. Marshall & Co, of OREGON
City, claim to have bought of Doty Bros.
o,OOO bushels for which payment has been
made. The farmers, however, claim the
wheat, they not having sold or received
payment thereon, and in order to protect
their rights, sued out writ of replevin.
Mr. Marshall, we understand, has com
menced a counter action, which will test the
rights OF property. The farmers are in DOS
session, and 1T seems that the amount does
not tally with outstanding receipts, there
being difference unaccounted for of nearly
4, 900 bushels.
