day. 1t appears the pocket Is increasing

Utilize The Straw.

In most sections the farmers include the
burning of their straw piles as a part of the
preparation for winter. As the autumn
wears away and the deWs and the fogS thick
Ell, heavy clouds of smoke hang along the
horizon in valley and foothill regions, and at
night the observer in the chief grain sections
can often count a dozen fires from one stand
point. But it seems to be proven that good
wheat straw is worth several dollars per ton
to winter stock with. 1t is not a proper food
for work horses, but calves, sheep aud colts
live we'll upon it. There is, therefore, every
reason In favor of saving 1t. How can farm
ers enrich their wheat lands if they burn the
straw, and keep no cattle to trans Lutte it in
to manure? The very best A 3 e of high
farming is to sell few raw products, but to
transmute as much as possible INTO beef,
mutton, cheese, bacon, wool and similar
goods. Less wheat, more cattle, straw trans
muted into profitable flesh, and no less profit
able fertilizers, some land devoted to fodder
plants aud root ~crops-such, in a long term
of years is the best plan for a farmer to pur-
sue.
In our climate 1t will rot do to pillow straw
in, as it does not readily decay, yet if it can
be piled up in q gulch or ditch it will gradu-
ally decompose. A gentleman who used
water for irrigation placed a large quantity OF
straw in a ditch, turned water in on it and
thus fastened its decay, forming rich, black
soil for future use. Whether or not u a
plan would prove profitable on a large scale
must be determined by local considerations

E'scuEia rites OF COnkling,

Ex-senator Dorsey, talking with 'Gath'
about Senator Conkllng, said: He has more
ability than any man i'll the regular party.
fConkling has peculiarities Of character that
antagonize many people Of sensibility he
smeetS; but | have seen him talk to Grant and
sold Simon Cameron in the same running
4style of satire that has made SO many lesser
mad. [ remember one night that he
made his sardOnic and amusIll" filings at
Grant, and Old Grant sat there perfectly I'M
smoved, because he knew COLkling's tempera-
s.nent so well and wanted him to enjoy him
sself. As for Simon Cameron, Conkling never
scOuld have made him mad at any event
Though a stranger might have peeped in and
Thought he was giving them both a terrific
running over. Yet in bis circle Conkling will
take as well as give, and has plenty of bOyish
qualities about him. He is particularly under
sFated as a politician. In the Indiana campaign
ske got right down to the most Western level
sof the boys, and some of Blaine's friends
4eut there who had been prejudiced in advance
against Conkling went away pleased and
Eastonished, He seems to enjoy tumbling
lover newspaper men. There was a New
York Herald man at indianapolis who had
written a biography of Conkling, which he
Thought entitled him to some consideration,
and had subsequently written something or
7sther which Conkllng took offense at. One
might Conkling got after this man, first on
the offensive thing, and talked it over until
. O'Clock in the morning. Then ! thought it
was all done amicably, but Conkling then
book up the biography, and he gave the man
4 combing ever on hat until 5 o'clock in the
orning.

THE SLOPE.

The Victoria Colonist's correspondent,
who spent the summer i'll the Skagit mines,
pronounces the diggings a palpable failure.
He says $4,000 is in excess of the value OF
the gold taken out there. There were about
4 fl ty men there when he left. Fully three
4 hundred men had left the mines disguised
/ within the last month. Miles Of mill dams,
scores of water wheels, pumps, machinery,
stools, cabins, sluices and lumber are all
abandoned. Thousands of feet of lumber
strew the sides of the creek for the first freslet
ito carry away Everybody has become de-
Amoralized.
At the Cascades landing, George Weilder is
building W large datboats for the purpose OF
shipping ties and cordwood to the Dalles tor
the Oregon Railway d Navigation company.
He has a contract for 100000 cords, and the
company is to furnish the towing from Little
White Salmon to the Dalles. These scows
will be of equal capacity, say two hundred
Acords at a load.
/ The Carson Appeal says: "The Chinese
are gradually encroaching upon all the indus
tries of Nevada. The time is coming when
the men who employ Chinese labor will reap
THE whirlwind. Three thousand Mongolians
working at the lake, where two thousand
white men once thriveu, is a sad thing to
contemplate. The wedge has entered the
state which will eventually make the home

ggroW harder and harder.

ouR WASHINGTON LETTER
uevs re,e~ from ,be Na,ioun, Inp,,al

Aditor Butte MINER.
There is q great deal Of rejoicing in Wash
'3ngton now, but it takes a far quieter form
s$han was anticipated. The government en-
|!pioyes, who, with those dependent or them,
Directly or indirectly, make up three-fourths
bf the city's population, had been thoroughly
|sobered by the doubt which hung over the
Election after the reverse in Maine. They
are extremely happy now, but express their
qualification with a great deal of modesty
THE current opinion is that only heads of de-
~partments will be changed under the coming
sadministra, ion. 1t is given "ut, only by Grn.
Garfield friends, however, that a distinguish
ling feature of his administration will be All
E~aearnest and persistent effort to bring about a
thorough reform in the public service, and
that every idle and inefficient person will be
ksummarily dealt with.
~ THE General is very popular here. though
mot SO widely known as other congressman.
He IS much liked by all, without distinction
of party. So, l may add, is the defeated can
didate, Gen. Hancock.
Congressman Frye, Of Maine. is most talk
ed of among republicans as a candidate for
speaker of the house. Except the idle talk of
bargains made before the election, little is
said about the cabinet. New York will, as
usual, probably be offered its choice of posi-
tions, and republicans speak of Gen. Foster
of Ohio, as one who can have what he asks
for. Except this l have heard nothing.
The President was not here in time to
sign the thanksgiving pro lamation, on the
first, but this year, and during previous years,
expressed a wish that the observance Of the
day might be as broad as the Union. He
hoped, to, that The executives of all the states
would name the same day. Certainly the
country at large never had more to be thank
full for than now in its national affairs.
III One of the JUNIORS aAoat is that General
Logan is to be secretary of the interior, and
that General Grant is to succeed him in the
4 United States senate.
v 1t is said by the ultra stalwarts that COLI
gre ssmen from the south certified to be elect
ed in districts having a preponderating negro
vote are to either ulseateG or their election
invalidated on the g,ound that the people
have not had a chance to record a free ex-
preston of opinion. This, it is asserted, is the
1 only means which can be resorte6 to to give
the colored voter a chance to assert his polit-
zeal rights. Such a policy, if adopted, would
anseat Chalmers in the s.shoe string district
of Mississippi, three of the Louisiana men,
bers, and about all of the South Carolina
delegation. WILLIS.
