Recently fine snow has fallen. and
the Young wheat is amply protected
from any freezing which nav occur.
This STOW i bat another OF the many
other harbinge-s OF coming fine
grain crop and with this and other
providertiai assurances OF prosperity
seen ON every hand. not only are the
farmers quite happy, bar those who
dwell in the towns and cities hereabous
are c0rrespondiDgly pleased.
The old question OF dividing Una
tisia county,, Oregon. has again come
10 the front, and this time the matter
has assumed such prominence, and is
backed SO substantially. and above all
has the merit OF business 10 that de-
gree thai no legislator. haying within
him any IDEAS of fairness or equity,
can successfully stand mp against IL.
Almost every inhabitant OF the north
ern part OF this immense county Is in
favor OF the division, the only 1issen-
ton in sentiment il caused By
the county seat location. but as
that Is subsequent matter, there is
no doubt that that question, wiz for
the present be dropped, and sill hands
set 70 work TO accomplish the erection
of a court house, during the next ses-
sion Of the Oregon legislature. The
two Representatives from sssat sec ton
OF the state have promised affirma-
tive assistance, and at meeting held
at Milton the other day at which Sen
2sor Wager and Representative Gam
bee were present. petition contain
ing the names Of over 800 taxpayers
from the surrounding country was
presented TO them with most decided
affirmative effect.
Thus far the fruit crop is safe, and
as last year was the .,ofi one, our or
chardists anticipate q magnificent
crop, and row that we have direct
connection with all the upper country
there Is nothing Of encouragement in
that direction. But what we want,
and most earnestly desire is, for you
folks TO gsr ready 20 let US send 10
Seattle directly the mountain of grain.
and the tons sf fruit we viii soon have
ready for YOU
