Barclays farm 1857 bushels of wheat from
81 acres Her crop of 200 acres averaged
25 bushels per acre. The wheat on Mrs.
L. E r. Henkle's farm averaged rs bushels
per acre.
We are informed that fall grain in the
vicinity of Monroe is yielding better than
was expected. Although the crop in this
county will average better than last season
the yield is generally about five bushels per
acre less than was expected.
The gentleman who had just returned
from the springs. on being complimented
upon his improved appearance, remarked
with an expressive 'tHumph," 81 gained 25
pounds in two days." This individuals
testimony would be valuable to the patent
medicine man.
The o. P. excursion to Idanah on Sun
day was well patronized by large crowd of

was one of the latter number. He re.
marked several times to GAZETTE reporter
that the scenery along that route was Sec
ond to none he had seen in any of his ex.
tensive travels in this country.
The board of school land commissioners
for this state at it's regular meeting in Sa-
lem August 22nd made the annual distribu-
ton of the interest arising from the common
school fund among the several counties of
the state The whole sum to he apportioned
is SS4. .45l.5 go OF this sum Lincoln county
receives 1894. 40, and Benton $26l3. 10. OF
the latter sum it is hoped our western
neigbbors will not claim 'fprorata proper
ton"
Last Monday night some person or per-
sons drove a wagon up to Mr.. VIM. Groves
orchard near town and hauled away about
twelve bushels of plums. Such acts as this
deserve the seyerest punishment. but pub
lie opinion is too lenient with people who
imagine that the products of Oregon or
chards are common property. A few prose
cutions for t,espass or larceny would be
beneficial in teaching certain class that
fruit growers are entitled to protection as
well as persons engaged in other business.
