ous consequences i'll the loss of fertility

Address to the People OF Clarke Co.
and Vancouver.

The Northwestern Railroad and Improve
ment Company recently Incorporated at
Vancouver, with a capital stock OF $3.50, 600,
proposes to build saw mill on the bank OF
the Columbia river within the corporate
limits of the city of Vancouver, with a ca
pacity for manufacturing not less than sixty
Thousand feet of lumber per day; and fur
thei proposes to construct In connection
Herewith a narrow gauge railroad, running
from Vancouver in north easterly direction
to Salmon creek and Lewis river, through
the heart of Clarke county, tapping and
traversng Il country abundant in excellent
yellow fir, cedar, spruce, ash, maple and
alder timber. equal to the best that can be
found on the Pacific slope. Taking into
consideration the constantly increasing de-
mand for lumber, with corresponding de-
crease in the supply of raw material, caused
by consumption and reckless destruction of
forest timber, the project OF the new com
pauy is a timely and promising one. 1t
will also greatly aid in opening up a large
scope of country to immigrants, atfordng
the settler immense advantages for dispos-
ing of his timber, and the more enabling
him to make a living while he is preparing
the soil for agriculture and establishing Il
home for himself and family. Anyone ac-

The Seattle Iateltigencer says that
the scarcity and consequent high price
of wood, will result in a change in the
furnaces of some of the steamers from
wood to coal burners. When people
who live in a country covered with
timber, as are the shores of Puget
Sound, complain of a scarcity of wood
we may conclude that there is some
thing more attractive going on than
chopping cord-wood.

cific, having in charge some 1900 young
carp for distribution in Oregon and
Washington Territory. He left WASH
ington Jan. oath, with $4,000 carp,
from five to six months old, for dis
tribution in Texas, New Mexico, Ari-
IONA, California, Oregon and Wash
ington. The fish made the journey in
common tin buckets, holding about a
gallon, in each one of which was
placed twenty carp. They were sent
out by Prof. Baird, OF the L. 5. fish
commission. There are forty-eight
applicants for the carp from Oregon
and twenty-five from Washington Ter
rtory. The fish will be forwarded
from Portland by Wells, Fargo & Co.'S

reached. They are nearly three inches
in length, lively and manipulating
after their long trip. They are de-
scendants of eight carp brought to
America in 1876 by DR.. Hessell, and
may consequently be considered to
have pedigree, but the Oregonidn
correctly says they will never be able
to rank with the salmon and trout of
this section.

How 60 Protec, Seeds,

A Missouri farmer, writing to the Ru-
raj New Yorker, makes the folio wing ex-
cellent suggestions in regard to the pres
ervation of seeds: 81 have saved my
seed beans and peas for the last two
years from the weevil by shelling out
the seed and putting it in empty baking
powder cans along with small bits Of
gum camphor. Before l tried this rem
edy lost nearly all the seed l saved,
but since then have had no trouble,
Three pieces the size of bean are suffi-
cient for pint can-one in the bottom
Of the can, one in the middle, and one
on top. BY the way, 1 find these empty
baking powder cans very handy and
convenient for keeping seeds. have a
number, and by labeling them and hay
ing shelf made to hold them, I find
them very necessary, for by their
means can tell at glance just what is
in each can, and they keep the seeds
dry and unexposed. A little care in
saving them as fast as emptied, will
prove quite convenient in saving seed
and by taking pains always to save the
best and earliest produce for seed one is
sure of good, pure seed, besides saving
considerable expense every year in pur-
chasing what one might save with very
little trouble"
