WOODLAND.
Woodland Mail, August 9Th
Senator James 6. Fair was in Woodland
Thursday.
Hay-balers this year state that the hay is
unusually long in many places, and there
fore harder to handle. A large amount of
hay was produced in Yolo county this year
and the baiers will have quite long
season.
In week or two couple of gentlemen
who wish to propagate cotton in California
will visit Woodland and make PROPOSE
ton to our farmers. They are confident
that cotton can be grown in the Sacramento
valley.
Almost every farmer in the county has
taken great precautions against fire since
the recent conhagrations in the fields of
their neighbors. The stubble in almost
every grain field has been moved and
raked away from the fences, and where
this has been done, no cigar butts thrown
from passing vehicles are likely TO cause q
blaze.
Thursday night, at about o'clock, run
away team dashed through Main street.
The team was attached 10 a spring wagon,
and was driven by a man known as Dan"
who runs Coils thrasher. The animals
turned at the railroad and ran to the Coil
ranch, where they collided with a fence
and threw Dan ont. He may De badly
iDjuled.

cess. as the time for holding it does not
interfere with other fairs in the State the
attendance from abroad will be undoubted-
ly large.
Oak wood is selling now for S. so per
cord and large quantities are being hauled
into town. 1t is evident that many people
believe we are to have an early and severe
winter.
The hay crop in this county is larger
than ever known before. The prospect is
that Livermore, nor any other valley town,
will be called upon to supply this market
with hay in the near future.
The North Banner mine hes shown
great improvement recently. On Mon
day last thirteen more men were given
employment. This mine, as well as those
near it, will make big showing in the near
future.
There is the promise of good racing and
fast time at the coming District Fair races,

The brick walls OF The new Postoffice
building are growing steadily
At the Washington mine, IN Washing
ton township of this county, about forty
men are employed and the twenty-stamp
mill is kept running day and night.
1t has been stated around among I'VE
men about town" that there was an extra
rich strike made in the Omaha NINE. Such
is not the case, but the mine is looking
generally first-class, and under the careful
guidance of George Mainhart it will con-
tinue to pay right along even if there is no
rich strike"

vert had secured lease of the Crown Point
