confined in the Insane Asylum at Stella

death he had been on a protracted spree,
and it is supposed that while suffering

WHAT WILL THE HARVEST Re p This
is the conundrun that agitates the thrifty
farmers OF the Swinomish ut present. The
yield will hardly approximate that of last
year. Harvesting has already,commenced,
but is several weeks later than last year.
There is considerable demand for harvest
ers. About So a day is the average wages
paid to good hands, with probability OF
an increase before the close of the season.
1t will take about two months to harvest

NEW MACHINE SHoP.-John e. Davis,
of Lacouner, deserves the credit of being
one of the most energetic and cnterprising
business men in the county, and he is one
of the very list to enter extensively into
the manufacturing business. Mr.. DAVIS
informs US that he will shortly erect at
Laconner large machine shop, for the
manufacture of all kinds of agricultural
implements The dimensions of the build
ing will be 60x40 feet, and will be built on
