your country. We have written
Mr.. Brownell, telling him that il We can
get this space we will give as special
premium one Of our mountain wagons To
the farmer raising the best acre OF wheat
or hops in your county, as you may think
best. =" 1t is probable, however,
that the wagon will be given as a prize
for the best display of agricultural pro-
ducts from any one farmer, instead OF
being awar ded for any particular variety.

week, the Vancouver, Klickitat and Yak
ina railroad was sold to G. n. Scott, who
made a cash payment of 5000 and as
sumed $34 900 of indebtedness, bearing

All bills against the state fair commits
sion will hereafter be paid in cash, rath'
er then by warrants. Governor Nc

and invest the permanent school fund in
state warrants. In future, therefore, bills
allowed in all departments of the state,
where possible, will not be paid in war
rants but ia cash drawn from the school
fund.
