A WOe.BegOne Democrat.

At Chicago few days ago a oottle Tight,
corked, came ashore apparently from the direc-
ton OF the lake where used to lie the vessel O
Mr.. Yattaw, deceased. The bottle contained
nothing but manuscript poem written upon
sheets evidently torn from note book Whether
Or not the author persisted in the waves is un
known, but it is surmised that he considered the
lie OF democrat no longer worth living and
took water which is always fatal to one of his
political faith Following is the poem:
DEMOCRATIC WISH.
The winters come and times is hard
The people all are fuSSin';
The pious folks have tuck to prair,
The other folks to cussin'
The government has all broke out
with wall street rash and freckles,
And ali we get is gall and CAB
From Norton. Hoke and Eckles;
wish the boss would help us out.
But what's the use of wishin'?
He's cut pole and dug some bait
And mOseyed off a-fishin'.
II
The revenue is falling of.
Carlisle is ''owsker speedy"
And Spain has Cuby by the neck;
John Bull has Venezweely;
The Rothchilds have our gold reserve
Republicans Kaintucky,
And II old Nick don't get us all
Wen be COMPOUNDED lucky.
l wish his nibs would show us how
To get what we're a-wishin'
But what's the use of asking him?
He's busy now a-fishin'.
III.
wish that Grove would catch shark
And that the shark would bite him,
wish he'd break his dimmyjohn,
Or-anything to spite him.
wish he'd get into swamp
And fail to find passage
Until his grub was gone, and be
Compelled to eat his message.
wlsh-but law. what is the use
OF dimmycrats a-Wishin'?
The whole blamed party better go
And follow Grove a-fshinl
Polk County (Ore). Observer.
To which an Aberdeen man adds the following
Seattle's gone republican,
And the pops are in the soup;
Old Jordans making pills again
His revenue to recoup.
Owhy, o why, was Cleveland born?
But in ca: that HAD to be;
dose of Jordan's Elixir
Would have served us, don't you see?
wish, wish, wish, wish

The dimmycratS will cut the bait
An Grover will do the fishin

In several places where pruning and
spraying has been done, the cuttings
have been left on the ground. There
is little use in spraying, especially to
keep down the green aphis pest, when
the tips of the limbs and cuttings,
where most of the eggs are to be found
are left on the ground, where they
can hatch as well as if on the tree.
Gather up the cuttings and burn them
right off, and half your work is done.

For some time past the local land
office officials have been making a
quiet effort to get the homesteaders to
make final proof, whether they were
ready or not-in order we presume, to
get as much in the way of fees as pos
sible, while the snap lasted. Last
spring letters were sent out to all
homesteaders, who had filed five years
or more before, and had not made final
proof, giving notice that they must
do so within thirty days, or show
cause why their claims should not be
cancelled. By act of July %, 1894, the
statutory period for proving up on
hoInesteads was extended to eight
years from the date of entry, on all
entries upon which proof had not been
made at that date. On the matter be-
ing brought to the attention of the
repister. he stated that these notices.
were issued in error by new man IN
the office. However, many who have
still ample time for proof. and are not
yet ready to prove up on account OF
hard times, are still receiving notices
to prove up. By reference to the
amended law, homesteaders have
eight full years from date of entry. tt
prove up in, and if, for lack of mean:
or any other reason they do not wish
to make proof this year, they can de
lay until any time within the eight
years from the date of their entry.

hauling more logs than ever before in
its varied history, an average of 800. 600
being the daily output. One day $780,
600 feet were dumped into the bay, and
Wednesday an even 100 cars of logs
| were hauled. When the proposed new
camps are at work, the output will
reach $1,000 daily, but in order to dc
this the trains will have to work long
hours. AT SIS per thousand feet the
value of the 100000 daily output is ST..
