An outfit of California emigrants
passed through town this afternoon
and are camped a short distance
below. They came from San Louis
0bispo county, about 200 miles
south of San Francisco, on the
coast, and report that California is
suffering from the worst drought
since 1877. This gentleman was
running a dairy on q nine-hundred-
acre ranch, with forty milch cows
and other cattle and horses. He
left all behind to die except the
teams to bring him away. He re-
ports that stock Of all kinds is dy-

ing this way in search Of a place to

The following from the Sheridan
Sun is also applicable to this por-
tion of Oregon: wheat farming
will grow gradually less from this
time on. Our lands can be more
proftably utilized than by raising
35-cent wheat. What we want in
the Willamette is the subdivision
of the large tracts into 5, 10 and 20
acre farms by men who understand
or are willing to learn small farm
ing. The secret of success in farm
ing is to have something to sell for
which there is demand in its
season. The thing that will bring
these changes the quickest is the
simple division Of the big farms
into small tracts, placing them into
industrious, prudent hands. Go
on dividing the country into small
tracts

Governor Pennoyer is discount
ing Roswell Horr as a campaign
story teller. In his speech at AL
bina the other night he took a
whack at the democratic party by
relating the following anecdote:
"There was a man who boasted
that he owned a barrel 200 years
old. When he took q friend into
his cellar to show him the vener-
able relic the friend suggested that
the hoops looked to be new. Eyes,
they are new. | only put them on
last year." said the man. After
further inspection the friend sug-
gested that the slaves didn't have
a very antique appearance. That's
true responded the man, i put
them in about four years ago. The
friend then wanted to know what
was left Of the 200-year-old barrel.
"H--l, don't you see the bung-
hole?" shouted the rclic-owner.
The governors application was
that the bunghole was all that
Cleveland had left Of the party or
the old time Jeffersonian principles.
