STATESMAN has ba;fle,i the attempts Of moi
opolists to saddle ruirous mo fence" law
upon the country it Is bu. right that we
should thank our correspondents for the as
sistancc they rendered us IN defeating It. |
More especially is the country indebted to |
Judge Guichard for many strung articles on |
the subject. From the first inception Of the |
idea unto the day If election he took most /,
active interest in the matter and spared moth |

be to all all our material interests

or in SONS OF prophets, We are going to have
an unusually severe winter this year. Al
ready hear and deer are Icing driven out of
the mountains into the lower valleys and sea
gulls are flocking into our rivers. Reports |
from the Puget Sound country say that the
Arctic geese have gone further south this
year than has been Known for long time.
The Indians shake their heads ominOusly
when approached about the winter, and the
wise among the whites are equally mysteri-
ous
