"A party of lumbermen of this section
consisting of G. f. Watson, f. Y. Kreit
ler, r. T. Buzard, Jack Wheeler, w. A.
Dusenbury, and l.. A. Buzard on Monday
completed the purchase of twelve
thousand acre timber tract on the coast
Of California. 1t is estimated that there
is over five hundred million feet of red
wood on the tract, and with the purchase
is included mill and other equipment
in operation. The property is valuable
one and is expected to make nice lot
of money for the new owners.-Sheffield

BY an act passed by the recent legis-
lsture it is lawful to gig or spear carp,
suckers, mnllets and eels from May lst
TO October 3lst in public waters in which
brook or other trout are not established
or have been planted by the state. The
gig must have space of not less than
one-half inch between the prongs. But
80 long as old Jupiter Pluvius is in con-
troll of the elements, keeping the water
red with mud, there is little use of a
spear and in all probability the noble
"bufialo sucker" will escape the frying
pan this season.

bushels of excellent coal was mined. |
Besides marketing the lum ber the Com
pany expects to go into the coal business
extensively. This property is valuable
beyond the anticipations of the purchss-
ers.-Emlenton News.
