WAsHrNSrON, D. c., December S.-The

Martlnsburg's public building was to-day
awarded by the Secretary of the Treasury

lfthe first story was of limestone and the
upper stories Of pressed brick. If the
whole Superstructure was of pressed
brick, they offered to do it for $40, 900.
After taxing into consideration the
amount Of available appropriation and the
appearance Of building, the supervising
architect decided to accept the $4,000 bid
for press brick throughout

looking building than with the first story
of limestone. The contract requires the
completion OF the work in fourteen months
from the 9th Of December.

TO THE TRADE AND CONTRACTORS.

r DESIRE IT TO BE UNDERSTOOD
Il that I have appointed VIM. Butler
& Co. exclusive agents for the sale of the
"Oregon" lime, at The Dalles, and sur
rounding country. Other parties have,
through surreptitious and unbusinesslike
methods, obtained a small quantity of
this lime, which may naturally cause
the idea that Butler & Co. are not the
exclusive agents of these goods.
ER Such, however, is not the fact,
and further stock of this article cannot
be obtained from others than VIM.
Butler & Co. The trade, however, will
not lose sight of the fact that the great
strife to obtain the Oregon lime by other
dealers proves conclusively that the

STATE OFFICIALS.
A RICH REGION.

Sherman county never, in all her his
tory, looked half so well as she does to-
day and the prospects for an immense
grain crop were never so fattering. Less
than twelve years ago the W hole county.
from the river to its southern boundary
line, was one vast stock range, covered
with waving bunch grass and immense
herds of horses, cattle and sheep. Now
the county is one vast grain field, either
in crop or summer fallow, and, as
viewed from some advantageous hilltop,
presents magnificent mosaic of green
and red. The farmers are generally
prosperous. The fine crops of last sea-
son and good prices for grain, placed
many of them in easy circumstances,
but the great desideratum is railroad
connection with the head of navigation
ON the Columbia, so that they may have
the benefit of lower freights for their ex-
ports. The farmers of Sherman county
are, as one man, in favor of the dalles
portage; and no man, no matter what his
politics, whose record on this question is
open to doubt, could gain their support
III any OlhCC tllclT ktlL. raising
here is reduced to science and isgener-
ally done on large scale. He is small
farmer who has not as much as 200 or
300 acres OF wheat. Smith Brothers,
one of whom is candidate on the demo-
cratic ticket for joint senator, have 4,5O0
acres in cultivation. At present they
have fourteen gang plows at work, turn
ing over an average of sixty acres day,
and expect to summer fallow $500 acres.
The larger portion of thir lands lie across
the John Day river, III Gillian county
g.. d. Woodwork has 300 acres in cul-
itivation, and this year it is nearly all in
summer fallow. Medler Brothers have
about l 200 acres, Hildebrand and Han
son about 1900 acres, B. F. Medler
and John, Medler have about 1000
acres each, A. D. McDonal about 900
acres, James Mcmillan 900 acres, Nc
Dermott Brothers have l ,120 acres, Sink
& Sons about 1000 acres, G. G. Huck
$40 acres; Dune Brothers about 200
acres, Dell Porter 1,120 acres, Murchie
Brothers 1,760 acres, Mrs. J. Mcpherson
1000 acres, John johnson $40 acres,
Sexton Brothers $50 acres, John K.
Stocking about l, 1000, J. E. Forbis $50
acres, Mike Smith $40 acres, w. h.
Biggs about $40 acres, Froebe Brothers
1000 acres, and any number of others
cultivatipg from section downwards.
Scarcely any spring grain is raised, and
from what the writer has seen of the
county, during drive from The Dalles
to WaseO,, it would seem that fully half
OF the cultivated lands are either plowed
or being plowed for summer fallow. The
average product per acre of ewheat for
the entire county is estimated at twenty
bushels. Mr.. John Smith estimates
that therelare $4,000 acres of land in cul-
sivation in the county and possibly as
much as l50, 900 acres more fit for culti-
'vation. Good improved farms can be
had at from SO to $3.50 per acre. Ex-
Senator W. III. Biggs of Wasco, who is
handling real estate, informs your re-
porter that he has about 5000 acres of
choice farming lands for sale at these
prices.
