succesSsuI Military expedition.

Capt. McConihe, commanding off
Ger of the recent army expedition to
Yaquina bay, rode into Portland and
telegraphed the news of his arrival to
Vancouver. The expedition, which
consisted of two companies of infantry
and a platoon of artillery, took a
course southerly from here on the
west side through Sheridan and the
Grand Ronde Indian reservation to
Nestucea bay. From this point an
exploring party was fitted up with a
pack train, and mounted upon mule 8,
went down the coast to Yaquina bay.
The captain, with the main command,
came back east of the Coast noun
tains, and took their march through
Kings valley and along the route of
he Yaquina river to Yaquina bay.
From this point the whole command
returned on he west side hy differ
ent route, having marched in all
about 400 miles. They are nov sta
toned about three miles up the river.
II am well pleased with the result of
The expedition" said Capt. McConhie,
"both in the advantages accruing to
the troo9s from the marching expcr-
ience, and the successful passage of
the exploring party from Nestucca
bay southwark. There is no official
record, so far as we know, of this
route having been covered, though
/ there are rumors in that direction, and
it has been an open and interestir g
question whether such trail could be
lound. We take no little satisfaction
at the success of the enterprise. Most
( of the passage was made along the
beach, but several streams enter into
the ocean, and the high and frequent
promontories render the route difficult

The idea that any me hod of feed
ing turnips to cows, either Just before
or just after milking, viii save the
next mess from being favored, is a
popular mistake. Heating the milk
viii cause the flavor of the turnip to
evaporate so that it will not affect the
butter made from it. But there arr
objections to this. The butter from
milk thus treated viii be soft, and the
milk, ii used as food, will have a con-
stipating effect which it did not be-
fore possess.
