Crop Prospect in California.

Farmers in the Sacramento valley
have alternated for some time between
the hope OF most bountiful harvest
and the fear of total failure. The
harvesting has Eow begun and it is AS
certained from reliable data that the
aggregate yield will fall short of n full
crop by about fifty per cent. This,
though it will leave large surplus for
export, is by no means the fulfiilment
of the splendid promise of May. An
unusual feature of the season is pre-
sented in the fact that under the inllu-
ence of the hot north winds the wheat
appeared to have ripened and the har-
vesting had begun, when under a reac-
tionary south wind the straw freshencd
up, the heads became moist and the
grain actually resumed the process OF
filling Cutting was of course sus-
pended. A letter from Solano county
of late date says: Farmers in this
region are completely discouraged.
Last year the rust destroyed the grain
and this year. Just rs we thought Il
bountiful harvest was secure, the hot
north winds came and cooked our wheat
fields Farmers in Oregon who had
a slight taste OF disaster from visitation
by the rust last year, will appreciate
the situation of their California breth-
ren, and congratulate themselves anew
upon the promise of abundance held
out by their luxurant fields.

A Grow and Ratticsnake Fight.

A gentleman living in Wood gulch
related to us few days ago a snake
story, which we give us near as we re
member. He was climbing fence
and while in the act noticed IA crow a
short distance from him jumping back
and forth in an excited manner He
kept quiet with view of ascertaining
the cause. which soon made itself ap-
parent, the crow was having an encoun-
ter with large rattlesnake. The
snake would strike repeatedly but the
crow would evade him every time, and
finally flew away when the gentleman
on making an investigation found that
the snakes head was picked to shreds
and was quite dead. -Khickitat .Seati-

"Gen. Grant forwarded warm con
gratulatory Telegram TO Hon. James A.

NUMBER 46.
The Result OF Colonel Woods Visit 20
the Eastern Washington Tribes.

tile Eastern WASN'T ngsOn Tribes.
Col. II. G. Wood, formerly Adiu-
tant General of the Department of Co.
lumbia, who Ill the capacity of special
agent of the Interior Department to
confer with the Indians of Eastern
Washington Territory, returned to
Portland June 24th. 4 council was
held with the Spokan Indians at Cow
ley's ranch on the 18th and 10Th in
stants, and was for the purpose of in
forming the Indians that it was neces-
sarv for them to come to decision in
egard to locating on permanent homes
that former rowing habits must be
abandoned and that all must choose be-
tween reservation life or citizenship
Col. Wood represented to the Indians
the preference of the Interior Depart
ment to see them 90 on one of the three
reservations in Eastern Washington,
and the Immunity they would there en-
Joy, from trouble with the whites.
Col. Wood then explained the three
different kinds Of land subject to entry,
and the necessary course of procedure
to secure legal possession. He assured
them OF their equality with whites in
regard to the entering Of lands, and
that the assurance OF Gen. Sprague,
that Indians on the railroad lands
should not be dispossessed, but that the
railroad company and the Interior De-
partment would arrange the matter be-
tween them. The principal chiefs pres
ent Mt the council were Saltese, Quine-
mosa and Stilaam, of the Cpur d
Alenes, and Garry, William, Lot, Bap-
tiste, Peone, Enoch, Paul and Abra-
ham of the Spokans The whites called
in by Col Wood were Gen. Wheaton,
Hon. }. A. Simms, Capt Lampson of
Portland, Jas. O'Neil and Rev. Mr.
Cowley.
Col Wood says that the council was
as satisfactory as could be expected,
and made good impression on both
whites and Indians Some fourteen
or fifteen Indians handed in their names
to take homesteads, among whom was
Chief Garry. Chief Moses was present
at the council. Skull Hull, who with
Paul claims to be chief of the young
men, made bitter speech against Moses
saying that he had not properly repre-
scnted them at Washington, 10 which
Moses replied that he didn't pretend
to represent, that he knew nothing of
them and cared less, but now If they
were willing to 90 on his reservation,
he would receive them kindly and treat
them we'll as long as they behaved
themselves. skull Hull said that he
was born and -lised an Indian, and
preferred leading an Indian life, and
that he would neither take up land nor
90 on reservation, but he would with
his followers go up on the Little'Spo-
kan and await the action of the Gov
ernment on Col. Woods report He,
however, said he had laid down his
arms and would never take them up
again.
The \. F. r. Il. field hospital, now
located at Providence Lake, will soon
he moved to the head of Colville, or
what is more familiarlv known as Big
Lake, where it will no doubt be per
manenty established. As soon as
lumber can be obtained it is the in
tention of the company to erect

A Narrow Escape.

Jesse II. Moore, a farmer and butcher.
in attempting to drive across the track Of
the Wilmington & Northern railroad near
MOrtonville, was run down by train, but
escaped serious injury in singular man
ncr. Two horses were attached to the
dearborn in which he and his son, lad Of
twelve years, were riding. The locomotive
struck the wagon where the road runs
between two stone walls, but wagon and
horses were lifted from the track and car
ricd considerable distance. The horses
finally dropped into field by tho side Of
the road, but tho wagon remained jammed
on the COW catcher until tho train was
stopped. Mr.. Moore and his son were
held fast by the wagon, and although the
former was insensible when taken of,
neither he nor his son was seriously in
jured. The horses also escaped with a
few slight cuts and bruises. The point Of
the cow-catcher struck between the front
wheels of the wagon and the horses and in
a few seconds broke the tongue and set
the animals free.
