Tim COrbett, the well known farmer
Of olney. was In the city yesterday
Mr.. Corbett Travelled over the road to
Astoria on foot and says there Is much
mud In places along the road. That
portion Of the county road between
this city and olney Is considered the
best OF Clatsop county's highways and
is supposed to be always In good pass
able condition. even In the winter. The
unprecedented rains OF this summer
has played havoc with county roads
generally as well as seriously damag-
ing crops. Mr.. corbett says the farm
ers on Youngs river have hay scattered
over their fields. which has been rend-
cred worthless by the continued wet
weather. However. ne says, the rig
gest portion of the hay crop on Youngs
river bottoms had been saved before
the rainy weather set In and the loss
generally speaking. will be light all
around.

Mayor Bergman has received a load
OF fine beef steers from Corvallis for
the Astoria Meat Company. There
were twenty-seven Of the animals and
the price paid IS said to have averaged
about S75 per head. Mr.. Bergman says
there is little money in selling beef at
the prices now demanded for cattle.
He does not attach any significance
to the telegraph report in yesterdays
Astorlan that the increase in the price
OF beef in Eastern markets is due to
the efforts Of Eastern shippers to drive
out Australian meat from European
markets. The price Of cattle is ad-
vancing in company with all other
agricultural products, Mr.. Bergman
thinks, and this is due to the increased
consumption in the home market, rath-
CT than to any foreign demand.
