MARION Co. YIEiDs.--The silverton
Appeal gives the following yields in that
vicinity. The Willamette valley Is one
vast wheat field Of about equal fertility,
and hence yields generally will bo OF
interest: w q Dickerson, who lives near
East Side Junction, threshed field Of
wheat Of ten acres which averaged 81
bushels to the acre. w ii Drake ON his
farm near town threshed $50 bushels
from IL acres. Frank Eagon Of the
Waldo Hills has probably the most ex =
traordinary yield in this section. From
field of 100 acres his wheat averaged
all through ~ bushels to the acre. In
this field there were four or five acres OF
fallen wheat W hich Mr. Eagon did not
save. Not long ago he purchased 80
acres OF land on the Geer farm paying
for II sac per acre. With one crop he
could pay for it and have wheat left.

AFTER WHOM NAMEp.-John Linn died
at Latah, WASH, few days ago, at the
age Of 70years, his death being caused
by his own hand. The Portland Mercury
takes occasion 10 remark that Linn coun-
~ was named after him, and the item
has been copied some. This is erroneous
Linn county was named after United
States Senator Lewis Linn, of Missouri,
who introduced the memorial in Con-
gress in 1910 to have Oregon declared a
territory. The movement was started by |
Willamette valley people, and when the !
counties were named Linn was his mon |
ument the same as Benton, Lane and |
Polk were for three other prominent l
men who did something for Oregon in I
that generation.
A BEAR AND DEER SroRl A few days 4
ago ] ] Dubrui!le, Frank Froman and |
Phil Baltimore were out hunting at |
Upper Soda, when Mr. Froman got n /
shot at deer, hitting him in one OF his 4
legs. The animal disappeared in the l
bushes, but was soon after heard TO /
make its peculiar death like grOan. The 4
men rushed in the direction, when they /
discovered the deer in the clutches OF a 1
large black bear, and had already been /
squeezed 10 death. They fired three or /
four shots apiece at the bear; but, from 4
some cause, perhaps nervousness, failed /
to hit him, and he disappeared without !
leaving blood in his tracks, and was not 1
seen again. This was the only deer they /
bad gotten.

SPECULATIVE PRICE - The Statesman !
says ''the speculative price of wheat at Al |
bany Is SO cents 4" The Statesman is mad !
because wheat sells for better price at Al |
bany than at Salem. All the buyers in AL, |
oany are paying SO cents. The speculative
price at Salem Is IS cents. All the wheat
sold any where in quantities is sold at
speculative prices. Albany Is now pay
ing more for wheat than Salem. This Is
the long and the short of it,and the States
