Coroner Eastwood sent letter to-day to
Waplnitia, making inquiries regarding par
ticuiars OF the death OF Sam Patterson. 1t
seems that Patterson is one of the heirs to
large fortune which come to him from an
English ancestor. This fact induced the
coroner to write the letter, as he believes
his affairs should receive attention. Patter.
son had been in poor health for some time,
but was confined to his bed only one day
before he died. y
Henderson Smith died at Quincy, ILL.,,
on the 18th. There Is nothing in the mere
fact of party by the name of Smith dying
that is remarkable, but this is noteworthy
case for the reason that this Smith was ll9
years of age at the time of his death and
had married second wife at the age Of 90.
His dissipation was confined to tobacco, and
he was a lifelong Democrat. He saw Wasn-
ington on several occasions aud at one time

try. He was born in Virginia.

An exchange says: Would it not be well
for some of our farmers to turn their atten-
tion to raising hogs and converting them
into smoked meat. Hams are selling for Is
aud l9 cents a pound and pork is selling
for u to 8 cents pound. In Illinois peo-
pie thought they were dong well when they
could sell their corhfed pork for 81 so to
$3.75 a hundred pounds. Here people
growl when they cured meat, bacon and
hams, are worth only IL to ID cents a
pound. At the last named prices our farm
ers got tired raising and tatting hogs and
quit the business, to such an extent that
very few hogs are raised at the present
time. Hogs can be summered on alfafa,
that is stock hogs, and they can be kept
growing the summer through without any
other food.

been employed with Weston & Bean In the |
Yakima country, returned Thursday to Pen. |
dleton He states that P. II. Kruse, who |
made Iarge-sized haul of property belong |
ing to the above firm. will have mis- exaEl- |
nation Friday at Prosser, Wash. When |
the sheepmen returned last fall from their |
summer range in the mountains they found |
some one had purloined their corral. not |
leaving single stake, and also house on |
Mr.. Weston's homestead, together with a |
stove and other contents. The stolen lum- !
ber wss lately found in a house built by |
Kruse, who also hauled off some hay owne |
by Charles Bean. When Weston & Bean |
leave for the mountains again this spring |
they expect to pull mp the well and take
other precautions to prevent being cleaned
out entirely.
Hon. q. M. Cartwright, of the b. s. & L. |
Co., was IN PrineviIle Monday. The COM
pany of which Mr.. Cartwright is member
is one of the most extensive wool growers in
the state, and OF course he keeps well posted
on matters of interest to the sheep industry.
When asked by q reporter of the Revieso
what the outlook for wool was this year, he
said it was better tnan last season, owing to
the fact that the large stocks on hand at
this time last year haYe been worked up, as
we'll as the greater portion of the clip of
1892. The recent cold weather in the east,
he says, has caused large demand for
woolens; hence the manufactured goods
have been pretty well disposed of. For
shese reasons he anticipates prices will be in
advance of what they were last year. He
,aYs the sheep belonging to the B. S. & L.
Do. will be heavy and of good quality,
which is true Of the majority of the sheep in
The county.
