Large Vegetables.

Mr.. John j. West who sold his place west
of Monroe few weeks ago returned dur
ing the present week from East of the
mountains where he had been to look out a
new location. He brought with him samp-
les of what the land there will produce; a
number of large vegetables which grew on
MIR. Burr Walnut Springs farm near Wascc
in Wasco county. They grew upon new
land without any cultivation or irrigation
and without any rain since they were
planted. They are of the following varie-
ties and weights, to wit: A large red beat
81 lbs, rutebaga 6 lbs, white fiat turnips 81
lbs, carrot 81 inches in diameter Al lbs,
long white parsnips inches in diameter 2
It. inches long 4 lbs. and several onions
of different varieties measuring inches in
diameter. As Mr., West was informed by
men in that country having large bands oi
stock that nothing could grow on the class
of land where these vegetables were raised
he concluded that it was good place te
live and therefore took up some land and
in the spring will move his family up there.
Mr.. West is delighted with the country and
left the samples of vege ables named sc
that anyone desiring can see them.

A For, Murder.

On last Saturday morning Mr.. ]. J. Fin
layson left his house four or five miles from
Albany, in Linn county, to 60 to Browns
vile expecting to return home on the fol-
lowing Monday about noon. He left at
home his wife about so years of age and a
grandson about l6 years of age; his wife
was p-grandmother to the boy. On
last Saturday afternoon the boy came to
Albany procured an overcoat and about five
o'clock left town, since which time he has
not been heard from. On Monday Mr..
Finlayson arrived home and found his wife
dead in the house. Upon examination it
Was ascertained that she had been stabbed
some twenty-six times with knife and
her skull had been crushed in with an ak.
They could only find missing from the
house some $25 or $50 in money and a
horse belonging to Mr.. Finlayson, and the
boy could not be found. As soon as the
news reached Albany men were sent out in
all directions to hunt out and discover the
perpetrator of the foul deed Mr. Duncan
Monteith was here on last Tuesday looking
through the country to see if any trace
could be had. The boy is suspected but
this seems curious because he is said tc
heretofore have been good, well disposed
boy and always got along nicely with the
deceased. His unaccounted for absence
however looks suspicious.

A Painful Accident.

Mr.. Jerome Sherwood who was working
last Monday on the Pile Driver on the
West Side Railroad works at Mary's river
near this place, unthoughtedly steped on
the end of a plank which easily gave way
and let him fall to the ground distance Of
about twenty feet. He was picked up in
sensible. At first it was thought bis neck
was broken. AS he lay on the ground his
neck was SO turned that his face turned
nearly in the direction of his back. He. soon
became conscious however and in the eve
ming after the fall it was thought that he
would recover. His family resides at Inde-
pendence, Polk county, so we are informed.

Elections.
Secretary of State.

At this writing the election returns from
elections in the several states are not quite
definite; enough is however fairly ascer-
tanned that New York and Massachusetts,
have gone republican, and Governor Butler
for governor of Massachusetts is badly
showed under; many of the democrats
whose party he was the standard-bearer
could not stomach his low down political
maneuvering. From the returns the rea-
sonable indications are that Pennsylvania
has gone republican. 1t is probable that
Virginia has gone democratic. The negroes
in and about Richmond and Danville failed
to vote for fear that such as the Danville
riot would be repeated as another hazard to
carry the state democratic. Mississippi has
no doubt gone democratic as the democrats
have an easy walkover in that land of shot
guns.

Native Outbreak in Alaska.

CHICAGO, Nov, 5.-A collector who has
been for year and half in Alaska, in the
service of the Royal museum of Berlin, is
en- route home. He is native of the very
north of Norway, and has spent some years
in Greenland aud other Arctic countries
He understands the language of the Es-
quimaux thoroughly, and has therefore
been able to travel among them in Alaska
with excellent advantages for observation.
He says the interior of the territory is wild
and rugged, and the people more numerous
than is likely to be agreeable to gold hunt
ers. He declares that the temper of the
natives is such that there is certain to be a
disastrous outbreak before many months,
which will result in a massacre of whites at
the mining camps and stations. The
power of the government he believes to be
entirely inadequate to preserve order or
control the natives, so long as only one
vessel is kept on that coast. He takes a
very gloomy view of our affairs in those
regions, and does not believe we realize the
situation.
