the State suffered greatly from the cold
weather the past winter. We have heard
of no serious complaint in this locality. al
though lambs have suffered in some cases
great loss.
Farmers from all parts of the county
bring in the welcome information that the
wheat is looking well, but decidedly back
ward, yet the weather now is just as good
as need be to bring on the crop. With
the usual spring rains, and other favorable
conditions accompanying we look for an
abundant harvest throughout Yolo county.

any waste. Barley can be obtained at a
cent and quarter, and last fall it only
commanded cent q pound.
Eureka Leader. An Eastern exchange
says that an Indians hair never turns gray.
This is q mistake. There are few white
headed Shoshones in this vicinity, but it
must be acknowledged that they are rather
scarce. But then it is because an Indian
never has any worriment or trouble. His
wife chops all the wood, does the market
ing and builds the fires. An Indian,
further, never has to walk the floor at night
with baby, nor stand off the bill collector
until next Monday. And he is not tor
mented by tramps nor printers devils howl,
ing for copy. Let him scratch for local
news in Eureka for one week, and his hair
would turn gray before he had comprised
a column. The Shoshone is blessed NOR.
tai, if you look at it in that light.
Modoc Independent, February 2Sth: The
late thaw has caused the men who have
cattle in the tules on the South Fork con.
siderable uneasiness. Pres. Doris, with {
crew of men, went up there Wednesday
to be on hand in case it should thav
enough to render it dangerous for cattle tx
stay there and he will be joined by severa
parties who are interested. There is be
tween 5000 and 1900 head now in there
belonging mostly to Dorris Bayley, Doter
and Nelson, and if the water should hap
pen to catch them-the cattle being on the
several islands above Fitzhugh creek
they will all be heavy losers, as it will b'
impossible to drive them out if Their,
should happen to be sudden flood. Tit
stoekmen drove nearly all their cattle int
the tules in the beginning of the winter
the feed being better there than on tn,
hills and the cattle being more sheltered
from the cold and storms. They intend
if there is any indication of a flood, to rusl
all the cattle out to the high ground, wher,
they will be safe.
