The Indians in the last week have
brought in several loads of beautiful white
trout, from twelve to eighteen inches in
length. As these fish are comparatively
new to our lake, it seems to be reasonable
conclusion to say that they are the fish put
in the lake in 1872 by Livingston Stone, as
white fish. No white fish have ever been
seen in the lake.-[Lakeport Bee.
The editor of the Carson Tribune saws he
has taken pains to interview all the stock
maguates who have passed through Carson

tree of hope. All state plainly that unless
new mines are struck, or such develop

General Cadwalader, chief of the Califor-
MIA railroad surveying north of Redding, is
now consulting with the Oregon engineers
in reference to the connection of the two
roads, which seems to be more difficult than
at first supposed, as the Oregon company
wants higher elevation than the SURVEYS
made by the California surveyors, in the
vicinity of the boundary line, so as to make
better grade over the Siskiyou. His ar,
rangements with the Oregon company will
have a good deal to do with the course of
the road in this section. IL Yreka Journal
Fl. L. Perkins, an old.timer hereabouts,
is now in Cassia Creek, Idaho, about fifty
miles below Kelton. He writes to Dr.

horse in his section but what is troubled
with pinkeye. He also says that the PEG.
pie there are more or less afflicted with the
complaint. The disease seems to be tend.
ing westward, but as it proceeds in this di-
rection its severity lessons. It was the
same with the epizootic when that COM
plant was raging some years ago. In the
Eastern States it was very bad, but as it
came west it moderated, and although ami.
mails were laid up from work, the disease
did not prove very fatal. Carson Appeal
The Suffer Farmer gives the history of
several varieties of seed wheat locally well
known. 1t appears that the variety known
as Proper wheat originally came from
Chile. A few heads of wheat which ma
tured with the barley were noticeably fine,
and were saved for seed. The new variety
continued to be cultivated by the Ander-
sons In 1866 or 1867 they sold their
ranch to Edward Proper. He sold much
of the wheat fer seed, and hence it got its
name of Proper wheat. Pride of the Buttes
wheat was originally obtained by General
Bidwell from the United States Patent
Office. Its present name is evidently local.
Its former designation seems to have been
entirely lost.
