sixty-six Bushels in the Palouse.

CoLFAx. Aug. Isl. r. Hill. who has
fine farm three miles south of Pullman,
Whitman county, WASH, has furnished
an example of the marvellous productive
power of the soil of the Palouse country.
He has just finished threshing forty-six
acres of wheat of the Little Club variety,
which yielded an average of sixty-six
bushels and four pounds per acre. The
field had been summer fallowed the pre-
vious year for the first time, and had
raised twelve successive wheat crops pre-.
vious to that time. As proof of the truth
of this report Mr.. Hill signifies his willing.
ness to make an affidavit substantiating il
if necessary to establish the fact This
is yield which it is probable will not be
surpassed in this region, though many
fields are reported, even this early in the
season, when threshing has but CON-
menced, which have pielded from forty to
sixty bushels per acre.

THE LEWIS COUNTY SEAT.
Petition Being Circulated in the Interest
of Winl0ck.

CENrRALIA, Aug. 20.-The following peti.
ton is being circulated in various portions
of the county:
To the Commissioners Of the County Of Lstris:
We, the undersigned, qualified electors of said
county of Lewis. pray your honorable body to
submit to the electors OF said county the oues-
ton of the removal of the county seat of said
county from Chehalis TO winlock, at the next
general election of county officers in said Lewis
county; and that an election be held to de-
termine to what place such removal must be
made; and as in duty bound yeur petitioners
will ever pray.
This is likely to bring about merry war
that viii complicate the political situation
in Lewis county, so far az the local matters
are concerned, no little. The immediate
cause of this. it is said, is an attempt on
the part of Chehalis people TO control the
election of a county commissioner, so as to
have a costly new courthouse erected
there.
CHEHALIs, Aug. 20.-Lewis county is be-
ing thrust into a county seat fight that bids
fair 10 put politics to the right-about for all
time to come this fall. The whole trouble
arises out of the pronounced jealousy Of
Centrala for Chehalis, the citizens of the
former thinking that by patting Winlock
on the back and voting for her they can
give ChehalIs black eye.

liberia called "black throat" AS there was
no regular physician on the coast, nothing
definite was known except that not single
person so far attacked had recovered.
Other peculiar features were that in many
cases death ensued in thirty-six hours after
the disease appeared, and rapid putrefac.
ton set in the moment after life left the
body. The population of Coachman's
Cove is but little over $50, yet nearly half
of that number have died since the first
outbreak. The epidemic has also broken
out in many other villages.

structure of its class in the world. 1t is to
be 40 by $40 feet, three stories, with cellar
and attic. The central dome, with roof
of glass, is to surmount the general read
ing room, which will be of octagonal form,
100 feet in diameter and 40 feet high,
lighted from all sides and from above. The
library now contains 615,O0O volumes
100000 pamphlets and 1900 volumes OF
newspapers, which are crowded into a
wholly inadequate space; but the new quar-
ters will give room for an annual increase
of 80 900 volumes for $50 years. when the
total will have grown to 4.725, 200. The
library has twice been burned--by the

stroyed.

really fine specimen of that extensively
used article in Montana's numerous min
ing camps and smelters. The sample came
from the Castle Coal company's mine. at
Castle, and the fire clay overlays the coal
vein. Those who are we'll posted on fire
clay and have seen the Castle article pro-
nounce it superior to any yet found in
Montana. The discovery of coal and fire
clay at Castle will be of great benefit to that
future city of smelling works.
