WHEAT YIELD.-Mr. d. J. Zent. OF
Oak Harbor. who is in town. tells of
some excellent crops on Wildly Island.
Among others he tells of eight acres OF
wheat just harvested and threshed for
Jerome Eley, OF Oak Hasbor, which
measured up 72li bushels per acre.

bushels.
4 gentleman who recently visited Sc
attle said he learned from reliable
authority that there were at the present

Is Port Townsend we have no case OF
typhoid, unless 1t is brought here for
treatment from somewhere else. We
do not know how to appreciate our ad-
vantages.
