The State of Minnesota has direct
water communication with Liverpool,
and all the great grain markets of the
world. On Thursday of last week the
first vessel that ever cleared from Du-
lutE for foreign port steamed Of to
Liverpool with cargo of 10000 BUSH
els of Minnesota and Dakota wheat:
This is the first. but it will not be the
last. Water carriage to Europe direct
will be great boon to the grain rails
ers of the west. Cheap grain trans
portation will do more for the western
farmer than any other benefit he can
seek for. Transportation on land can
never compete with that of water.
Clear the way to the ocean by suitable
water ways, and much prevalent dis
content will be removed.

experience of North Dakota farmer:
"Col. g. E. Tuller. of Owasco Farm,
in an interview with the Gazette, says:
My ninety-eight ewes produced 1S1
lambs, twenty-one of which died
(mostly the weaklings or twins and
triplets.) The wool clip produced on
an average II $40 pounds. I sent a
sample of the wool to Minneapolis
firm, and they quoted me a price of II
@19c. per pound for it; they say, how
ever, that Eastern parties who could
use so fine grade of wool might give
more for it. One fleece weighed nearly
nineteen pounds. I have now twenty
three lambs weighing thirty-tive
pounds and better; one lamb, born
Feb. IA, weighs 464 pounds. I can
show you on that sheep transaction of

LETTER FROM OREGON.
MEADOW, Laue Co. Ore.


EDITOR ADvANCE:-Iti is with pleas
ure we find the ADVANCE, with its
clean, bright. intelligent face aud its
newsy makeup, in the mail sack
weekly addressed to Meadow. v ith
eagerness we scan its pages before
reading the Inter-Ocean, the Oregon
ian or the San Francisco Chronicle.
II we could only take with us our Or
cIla,d, our timber and our climate how
gladly we would return to Worthing-
ton or its vicinity. We grow weary Of
the shiftless hunter with horn, dogs
and gun, and his very poor venison-
Sunday and every other day alike, yet
the law fortids it.
Our little crops are looking we'll but
| late as the season is late AS wrote
you before, "ranchers" here cultivat+.
only from small garden up to say ten
acres beside meadow. We raise moth
ing to thresh or to mill. We raise al,
abundance of vegetables and fruits and
some little corn for table use, and
buckwhe It for the bees and chickens
and hay for the stock.
The boom to Florence, ut the mouth
of our river, continues. Many new
comers locating in the little villages
and around them near the ocean, OF
sand, in the huckleberry, laurel and fiji
brush where they scarcely can raise
anything and where there is not a dol
lar to be made, as can see. There i!
a prospect of 4 railroad through yer,
soon, and new saw mill or two, an(
likely sash and door factory. Prop
critics have gone up wonderfully latel,
and fare has just doubled recently OF
the steamers that ply on the Sinslov
river and at the hotels. All seem t,
be strenuously endeav0ring to ge
every dollar possible from "the tender
foot.''
The weather keeps very cool AM
backward-the nights especially whic1
are always cool here are remarkabl
cool this season. We always want
coat here mornings aud evenings an
a good lire too.
The prospect for fruit. grass and al
crops is excellent. Ono little item tina
I have not mentioned yet is, we hav
so few birds here-especially songster
or birds of handsome plumage. W
have only the robin redbreast an
meadow lark which sing to amount t
much. We have no pewee, thrush
oriole, bobolink, blue-bird or red~bird
We have a few wry necks, mountai
robins, mountain quail and an ugl
kind of blue jay. We have an assort
ment OF beautiful humming birds Q
different sizes and colors.
Our roads. here in the Coast rang
of mountains, are yet muddy and ba
in places, but good in the Willamett
valley. The price of flour is going u
and the price of stock too. Public en-
terprise is being agitated, and the. il
) dications are that times are gettin
better-all caused, no doubt, by tina

1UW / PUZZLE Was SOLVED

When you want a certain article, you want
the best make of that article, don't you?
But how to determine which make is best
is what puzzles you, isn't i?
And when the puzzle is solved for you,
by authority which cannot be questioned,
you are pleased, aren't you?
And you would like to hear Of one puz-
zle that has been solved for the people OF
the whole world, wouldn't you?
Well, we will tell you about that very
puzzle, and its solution.
At the Universal Exposition Of 1880 at
Paris, France, the best sewing machines OF
the world including those Of America, were
in competition. They were passed upon by a
jury composed of the best foreign mechan-
ical experts, two of whom were the leading
sewing machine manufacturers Of France.
This jury, after exhaustive examination
and tests, aliudged that the Wheeler &
Wilson machines were the best of all, and
awarded that company the highest prize of
fered, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
companies only gold, silver and bronze
medals.
Tie French Government, as Q further
recognition of superiority, decorated Mr.
Nathaniel Wheeler, president Of the com
pany, with the Gross Of the Legion Of
Honor, the most priced honor Of France.
That is how the puzzle of the best sowing
machine in the world was fully solved by tie
most competent authority in the world il
favor Of the No. . and No. IL Wheeler
Wilson machines.
The No. 9, for family use, and the No 12
for manufacturing uses, are the best in The
world to-day.
And now, when YOU want q sewing ma
chine, if you do not get the best, it will b.
your own fault
Ask your sewing machine dealer for tht
No. 9 Wheeler s. Wilson machine. and if hi
does not keep them. write to us for descrip
tive catalogue, prices and terms.

We commend the following sugges
ton, made by All agricultural journal,
ne worthy Of being carried into effect
in every county in the United States.
1t is oae Of tie glaring defects of mod
ern civilization that strangers are at
forded so few helps in finding their
way in country places. 1t would
seem as if the plan suggested below
would supply the want:
The plan of putting into practical
working The idea of numbering all the
residences in county outside of the
towns in California, is being executed
by A. L. Bancroft, of San Francisco.
BY this it is proposed to enable the
stranger to ascertain promptly and
definitely any location desired. TAX
ing the county seat as the central point
the plan, as applied, is this way: Give
each road leading to or from the
county seat distinctive name, which
should be done with care, avoiding as
much as possible Objectionable names
including the names of persons, resi-
dences or terminals. All divergine
roads from such hi ghways should next
be named; then commencing at the
city boundary of all the main roads
or at point of divergence from then
of all branch roads, and divide eacl
mile into ten imaginary blocks of So;
feet each. Give each block two mum
bers, the odd numbers for one side, th'
even for the other. Usually there viii
be but one house or entrance on on
side of such blocks; if there should b
more the second house would have tn
same number followed by the letter n
the third one by B, and so on. I
makes it practicable to have count
directory which will locate with pre-
cision the habitation of every person
and enable road overseers to repor
accurately where work had to be don
etc., etc.

1t was not the intention of the Com

houses and stores, hotels and offices
were also tastefully adorned, the word

cheer the old veterans as they passed

To the Hills of Mt. Desert.

oh. chill Mt. Deserts grand old hills:
To-day view your wondrous heights!
To-day round your ciii.bound coast.
While first gaze upon the sights
And scenes about your stormy shoree,
Guarded so well by faithful lights.
I've walked DER Afric's sunny sands.
I've crossed where oceans depths are blue,
I've looked DER Hudson's woods and lands
Drest In October's glorious hue:
And all along New Enyland's coast,
I've sought the old and found the new,
But never. grand old Mt. Desert,
Have seen anything like you.
One pair OF feet can never find
The paths your hill> and wales may show,
One pair Of eyes can never see
One half the beauty OF the glow
That wraps you in its holy light
Just as the sun is sinking low.
And yet like you-like YOU not.
Let other tongues your praises sing,
Peace is not written on your face.
You speak Of winter more than spring.
And for cot beneath your shade,
! would not give this golden ring.
Those grand old bills are far too gray,
Their tops are far too bare and cold,
| would not scale their dizzy heights,
For all the wealth your wales may hold.
Nor treasures Of your worshipers.
Nor yet for all their vsunted gold
There is nook love full well.
A quiet nook aud nest within.

And vet | think il not sin

That he-t retreat from noise and din
