A Big Yield.

Robert Steel, a Polk county far
rner grew the phenomenal crop Of
1000 bushels of barley on thirty
acres Of ground: more than 1873
bushels to the acre. The field was
formerly huge pond, which was
drained by Mr.. Steel with a ditch
to the Luckiamute, in a big bend
Of which river it lies. 1t has pro-
duced six crops of barley and the
lowest average of any season was
go bushel to the acre. In harvest
ing the big crop of last year two
weeks were required in cutting it
with a binder drawn by five horses,
and after the grain was cut the
shocks so nearly covered the entire
ground that the wagons in hauling
it could not pass between them.
The market value Of last years
yield from 80 acres was about

THEY wANrlr .pue up"
The Board of Regents Bring Action
Against kincaid.


Against kincaid.
The regents ofthe Eastern Ore
gon State Normal School located
at Weston, propose to find out who
is running that institution, they
or the Hon. II. R. Kincaid, Secre-
tary of State.
The mannerin in which the regents
proceed to find out who shall say
aye and nay in the management Of
the funds appropriated for the
schools use by the late legislature,
is, to say the least, impressive to
the full extent of the term.
It seems there is q wood-pile
somewhere in which is contained a
son of torrid Africa. At least the
board of regents think so, and back
up this belief by bringing manda-
mus proceedings against the Sec
retary of state. The papers were
filed in the circuit court at Salem,
Wednesday, July 10th, Judge Geo.
H. Bennett, presiding. The suit
is to recover the full amount Of the
appropriation made at the last ses-
sion Of the legislature.
The attorneys for the regents are
Judge ]. j. Ballery and Hon. J. H.
Raley, both men of brain and le-
gal knowledge. Answer to the
complaint must be made within
twenty days from the date of filing,
and the case will probably be heard
at the next term Of Judge Bennett's
court at Salem.
1t seems that the machinery at
the capitol is tout of line" to use
a mechanical term, or in other
words, the matter which pertains
to this particular appropriation, is
somewhat conglomorated--m mixed
up. According to the Weston
Leader, Secretary Worthington, Of
the normal school board Of regents,
wrote to the state secretary in re-
gard 10 proposed improvements,
the building ofa dormitory, ETC.,
and Mr.. Kincaid replied that he
had referred the matter to the at
torney general. AS the board was
in a hurry to have the work com.
pleted, Mr., Worthington at once
wrote TO the attorney general, ask
ing that he render a decision as
soon as possible, as to the right Of
the regents to contract for the i'm.
provements. The official had re-
piled that he is very much sur
prised, no such question having
been brought to his attention, offici.
ally or otherwise, by the secretary
of state. This leaves the regents
slightly puzzled, and they have moi
as yet been enlightened. There
seems to be considerable red tape
in the conducting of the state affairs
down at Salem, and probably it
has lied to mixing things up q
trihe.
