have been irregular for the past two or three
days on account of the arrangement of trains
caused by the wasbout on the Union Pacific
road. Several car loads of freight arrived in
this city at the same time as the bills from
Ogden instead of the bills arriving from one
to three days in advance, as is usual.
WHEAT IN CoLUsA CoUNTY-From a
gentleman thoroughly conversant with all the
details OF fact relating to the yield of the
present harvest in Colusa county, we have
obtained some interesting statements given
below. Since the middle of June about fifty
steam threshers have been constantly run
ming. A careful observation gives $1,000
bushels per day as the cleaned product of
these machines. 1t is estimated that there
remains about thirty days steady employment
TO complete the harvest Thus the threshing
period will cover 81 days at $4,000 bushels
per day or z, $50, 900 bushels of cleaned wheat
Tor Colusa county alone. At 60 pounds to
the bushel the product gives 21S,00 tons.
Allowing !, 800 to a ship, at least 145 ships
would be required to remove Colusa's har-
vest The value of this wheat estimating at
the low figure of 81 30 per GENITAL, is So 104,-
600 Forty-fye OF the threshing machines
are owned in the county. About - men are
required to each machine, aggregating $50
men to the 80 machines employed. The
Colusa San has been at great pains to ascer-
tain the exact number OF sacks produced in
the county, and at the close of the threshing
season will present accurate statements. It
Is evident that the wheat product of the State
has been rather under estimated, since it is
well known that the average yield per acre
in Colusa county is smaller than in many
other portions of the State.
