Miss Anna Lang took the oath and wa
inducted into the position of clerk at the [

management.

the parade of stock at the fair ground.
yesterday afternoon was very large, and the
animals that received premiums were very
fine. Wasco has good breeds of cattle Of
all kinds, and our citizens need not be diff.
dent In exhibiting them at any fair in the
northwest.
In driving the sheep to Antelope from
summering in the Cascade range, we are IN
foronad hot h.. I
time by reason of cold and rainy weather.
At times the owners were forced to drive
their herds through snow and then the road
would be muddy and miry.
Last May farmer in Indiana turned a
drove Of hogs into field where was an old
stack in which the cattle had eaten great
holes. The stack fell in and buried fat
hog. The farmer tried to locate the por-
cine, but failed, and it stayed there till
August oath, just ninety nine days, when 1t
was rescued. 1t had dwindled to the mer.
est skeleton, and was barely alive, but on
being fed on milk, 1t recovered full health.
Astorian: Fish Commissioner Reed, who
has been down the coast, says the catch on
the coast streams is much better this year
than it has been for the past two years.
Altogether, about 60, 900 cases of salmon
have been packed. The average price paid
for silversides was Is cents, and for red sal
mon 80 cents. The coast salmon will bring
about S4 per case. A hatchery is very
much needed somewhere along the coast to
keep up the fish.
In the unfinished race yesterday Polly

mile dash, Rockland Boy won; Frank Hast

Albany Herald: While John R. Stone.
Wall and Owen Sutherlin were digging a
well on F. Sutheriin's place on the North
Umpqua above Wilbur recently they struck
what may prove valuable gold mine.
Noticing peculiar yellow substance mixed
with the dirt they were taking out, they
washed ont some OF 1t, getting 81 to the
pan. The boys are still digging, although
they are not so much interested IN striking
water as they might be.
The Rural North,oest says: "Oregon's
veteran farmer and sheep breeder, Hon.
John Mimic, hit the nail on the head when
he said at tine state fair institute that the
man who would breed hen with the ca
pacity to transmit to her progeny the
ability to lay twelve eggs per year more
than the best -hens now lay, would do far
more to promote the actual welfare and en-
oyment of the human race than he who
breeds horse which breaks the speed
records"
