F. O. johnson, of the Hazelgreen
neighborhood, states that the voice OF
the moving machine is heard in that
vicinity. The farmers in that part OF
the county have been experimenting by
sowing a little vetch with the cheet
and appear to be quite satisfied with
tbe results The combination of vetch
and cheet gives heavier crop and will
prove q betto. feed, for mixed feed Is
preferable to straight.
The clover yield will be much larger
than a year ago. Harvey Walker, in
the same neighbo''hood, has seventy
acres of clover, the finest human eyes
ever beheld.
w. A. Mumpers, of Labish Meadows,
reports the crops in that vicinity look
ing fine. That section is most product
i've in chee hay and the yield will be
large and of good quality. The clover
is unusually heavy.
It is gena ally believed that the pres
ent hot weather win be beneficial to
the oats and wheat crops, in that the
damage done by the Hessian fly will be
materially removed. The fly obhors the
sun and the hot weather win rid the
fields of the insects that might have
found lodgment there.
At Hayesville the cherry crop is i'm

George Hooper, a prominent farmer
in the Waldo Hills states that farmers
in that neighborhood are beginning to
cut mesquite and clover hay. The
vetch crop in that region is particular
ly heavy, in fact it is tremendous
crop. In some parts the vetch is over
six feet, and is of good quality, too.
The prune drie IS in that neighborhood
will handle the immense prune crop
with difficulty Other fruits are doing
we'll. The cutting of the cheat hay will
begin in a couple of weeks.
w. H. Egan, of the Brooks neighbor-
hood, reports that wheat and oats are
growing rapidly and looking well.
Hops are of good color and are grow
ing fast. Clover is now being harvest
ed, and represents good crop. Apples,
prunes and other fruits are in excel
lent condition.

WHY Nor CULTIVATE WILD BLACK
BERRIEs.-A gardener at Ballard has
been several years engaged in cultiva-
ton OF wild blackberries, transplant
ing the vines from the woods, and
selling the product at an advance of at
least one half on the rate at which the
so.called "tame" blackberries which
grow on bushes sell. Hitherto, the
wild berries have been gathered in the
woods mainly by Indians, and sold
readily at about 50 cents per gallon,
although not quite as good condition
as If carefully picked by white people,
or as tempting to the palate as if pre-.
sented with some guaranty of cleanli.
ness. The wild berry is infinitely su.
perior in flavor to the tame berry,
being almost devoid of the seeds which
lessen the value of the latter, and
when sealed in glass will come to the
table as good after years as the day
they were picked from the vine. This
is about the only article that can be
kept indefinitely in jars without de.
teriorating in quality. Here is q hint
for our people who till the soil that

PACIFIC OCEAN EXPOSITION IN 1913.
"A bill has been introduced in the
lower house of Congress, by Represen-
tive Kahn, of San Francisco, for a
Pacific Ocean" Worlds Exposition,
to be held in that city, during the
summer of 1918. This will give am.
pie time for preparation, as we'll as
due notice to rival aspirants for world g
honor to keep off the track. The bill
appropriates five millions OF dollars,
conditional upon the people of San
Francisco and the State raising an
equal amount. 1t is likewise stipu.
lated that the government shall erect
an exhibition building to be sold to
the city, or the exposition company,
at the close OF the fair. It likewise
provides for a grand international
naval review, and the President is
directed to invite all nations to send
war'vessels to participate, on Sept.
25sh. OF the year chosen, for that pur-
pose. The buildings are to be for
mally dedicated April 3Oth, the fair
opened May LIST, and the exposition
continue till the succeeding January.
While this is longer than any previous
Worlds Fair has kept open, it is be.
lieved that on account of the climatic
attractions, the Pacific Ocean Fair
may be kept open that long with
profit.

Que of the most appalling disasters
that has happened for years on the
Pacific Coast Is the loss OF the steamer
Valencia at S"abird Rocks, Point
Kalanway, about five miles from Cape
Beale, % miles iromVictoria, on Bar
clay Sound, Tuesday morning, where
she was slowly pounded to pieces by
the heavy seas, and l2l human beings,
all but five passengers, lost their lives
Fifteen members of the crew reached
the shore in safety in two boats, the
only ones that were not dashed to
pieces in launching. Some OF these
reached Cape Beale lighthouse and
gave the first news OF the wreck.
Nearly sixty persons were drowned,
by crushing of the boats, in sight of
the remainder OF the victims, huddled
together on the deck, who were grad
ually swept away by the fierce waves.
The most unfortunate matter con.
nected with the disaster was that
there were half dozen staunch tugs

straits, that could have arrived at the
scene of disaster in time for q rescue,
and while the sea was comparatively
calm, had the government not neglect.

been given in time for them to reach
the wreck before the end came. When
several vessels from Victoria arrived,
it was too late. The steamers Salvor
and Gear approached within three
quarters Of mile of the wreck, but
the heavy southwesterly gale made it
impossible to 60 nearer. They could
discover no living being on the wreck
or rocks, but the former vessel picked
up sixty lifeless bodies.
The Valencia left San Francisco,
Saturday. with clear surroundings, but
the weather soon became thick and
navigation Yves by dead reckoning.
According to it, they were near the
Umatilla Reef lightship when they
were in reality Off the Vancouver
Island coast. Soundings Indicated 30
fathoms just before the vessel struck.
When she grounded the engines where
reversed, but soon as she was ahoat
she began to sink, 80 the vessel was
driven ashore as the only chance Of
saving life. Soon afterwards the lights
went out and the crew had to work
in the dark.

Der of victims at 14O, a list published

and SIS second-class passengers, and 33
members of the crew, including Capt.
Johnson and all his leading officers.

and the daughter came very near to

the family were quite i'll for time.
Several letters had been received by
the family, within the preceding week,
calling attention to the death of
Gov. Stennenberg, and threatening Mr..
Peabody with the same fate. This
leaves little doubt but that the poison
was administered with malice and ir-

rules is ineligible for participation in
the work of the House pending trial,
obtained admission, the other day, by
a rear door, surreptitiously, to the
chamber Of the House, while there
was some commotion over another
matter, and when no one was paying
attention, the oath OF Office was read
to him and he asserting, by nod of
the head, disappeared as he came. By
taking the oath he lie enabled to draw
q salary and can be removed only by
expulsion. II is said that it was by
connivance OF the Speaker and leading
Republicans that the scheme was rem
dered possible. and that his vote in
every instance has been cast with the
organized Republicans is verification
of the assertion, and shows that there
is no bounds to the rascality that party

Carl lost his bearings, and instead OF
finding a way to his own roof, he be.

some landmark for guiding point, he
sat down on log in despair, to await

doubt. He had dog, and his name
was (of course) Bismarck, and dogs al.
ways make allowances for Maynard
masters that are withheld by his biped
associates. The dog loved his master
and knew his call. The master took
advantage OF this faith and confidence,
and whistled loudly for Bismarck. The
faithful animal responded at once, and
soon a cracking was heard in the
underground and the dog bounded into
his presence a-Quiver with JOY, as if re.
alizing that the lost had been found.
But Carl was in no mood to reciprocate
the joyful greeting. With a gruff

J. Lord, of the Capital National Bank

sincere. He says:
II have been informed by the Treas.
urer OF his intention hereafter to make
deposits OF State funds in other banks
direct, instead of making them through
this institution. During the entire term
Oh the present Treasurer he has deposited
large proportion of the State funds in
other banks OF the State, making these
deposits through this bank. As these
deposits were of no benefit to this insti
