The Fourth OF July has come and gone,

or less cessation OF business, to the great
benefit to all. In many portions oil the
inland empire good harvest IS assured,
thanks TO the late sufficient rainfall, but
in some sections il arrived too late to do
any good. The merchants are now busiiy
engaged in specializing on the hkely
nrice Of wheat, and the chances seem 10
be that they and the farmers will have
no reason to complain, for the cereal

and the price about average. No change

visions remain about steady. Fruits

 B. Curtis & Son are rushing in the grain at q rapid rate. Within week they have unloaded 1900 bushels of corn and HOO of oats and expect to average at least car of grain of some kind each week throughout the year. Their meth cd of unloading is unique and expeditions and, withai, home made. The old way was to carry the grain to the bins upon the stalwart backs of the laborers; the next improvement was to carry the corn in baskets to the top of an inclined plane, pouring it into hopper and al- lowing it to run into the bins. About two years ago, however, A. E. Curtis solved the problem in an original way. The grain is allowed to flow from the ear into hand car holding many bush els, which is run on portable tracks into q shed on the south side of the mill build ing. Here it is accurately weighed on ?

When first seen, they were not more than 15 or 20 feet distant and the frightened horses seemed right over his carriage. But his horse turned out sharply, the runaways did the same, which brought ono of the horses against the metal point of the shaft, breaking it off and throwing the horse, which allowed MT Cothren's horse to get clear, no damage being done ex- cept that the harness was broken.
