den about two weeks ago that can doubt
less ascribe much OF its success to the
fact that among the notables present

Oliver Dusocher, Of Ontario, was in the
city the past week and purchased of Ike
Foster 1,2SO acres of land near Toilette.
1t is his intention to bring a number of
French families from Canada to farm the
land. The colony will be quite an add,-
ton to the population ofJoliette and will
add materially to the wealth OF the town
as the land which they will cultivate is
yet in the wild state. Besides this sale
Ike sold 480 acres of land to Mr.. Brush,
100 to Mr.. Deck and completed several
other deals. A considerable. business

The Walhalla Mountaineer gives two
columns to the wanderings and exper-

Delisle, from which we condense the
following. AT Seattle and Spokane they
saw E. ]. Kellogg. ]. D. Trenholme,

are bearing and from three to six years
old. Asa Fanset is six miles north of
LosAngeles. He has fine ranch, with
modern residence. He has eleven
acres of oranges and lemons, these load
ed down SO that branches have to be
supported to prevent breaking down.
He expects $50 baskets per acre and has
refused an offer of one dollar a basket
on the tree.

opposition to Messrs. Price and Short
for reelection, but over in ward No. 2
it was-Kentucky! Owing to disagree
ment on election matters Geo. Proctor
attempted to sever all connection with
Joseph Geroux, and as Geroux's barber
shop root rests on the same division wall
as does the roof of Mr.. Proctor's harness
shop. Mr.. Proctor, to make the chasm as
complete as possible, started in with an
axe to cut the roof of the barber
shop free from the wall. Geroux swore
out warrant for Proctor for malicious
mischief before Justice Aylen. Proctor
took change of venue to Justice Rene.
w. J. Burke appeared for the state and
M. Brynjolfson for Mr.. Proctor. The
Justice decided to hold Mr.. Proctor to
the distrist court in $500 bonds. For the
legitimate results of the election see
council proceedings.
