FRESNO, December 21st-Last spring the
MADEIRA Irrigation District, formed under
the Wright law, voted to sell $4,000 worth
of bonds. The matter was contested, and
finally came into the Superior Court today

Judge overruled the motion and the case
was proceeded with. The testimony was

patches are received from Lisbon and
Madrid.
Advices received at Hamburg from the
Province of Rio Grande du Lull. in Brazil,
are entirely contrary to the opinion that
the German colonists desired the protec-
ton of the Fatherland. They appear
hopeful that the federated Republic will
increase the general prosperity, and the
official world here is disappointed.
The miners strike still remains unset

A copy of the Idaho TTi- Weekly
Statesman, of August 2, 1864, more
than twenty-five years ago, tells us
that beef was retailing at that time
at 16 and % cents per pound; mutton
20 and 25; chickens, 50 and $3.50
each; butter, 81 per pound; eggs,
S1.50 per dozen; potatoes, new, II
cents per pound; oats, Il; hay, S35
and $40 per ton; onions, % and &c
cents per pound; cabbage, 10, and so
on. The following winter, however
the foregoing articles commanded
double the price, and many of them
could not be had at that, and green
cottonwood was scarce at $50 pei
cord. In the same number of
the statesman the editor, Jas. S.
Reynolds, acknowledges from John
Mcclellan the receipt of specimens of
yellow flint corn, followed by a col
umn setting forth the productiveness
of Boise valley soil. The law cards of
Judge NJ. Kelley and Eugene Semple,
ex-governor of Washington territory,
also appear among the advertisements.
Semple had then just got in from the
plains, sprig of a lawyer, full of al
kali, cussedness, devilment and De
mocracy; and after taking an active
part in the political campaign of that
fall, came to Oregon, where he became
one OF the leaders of the party.
