Whether Charlie really raised corn

seems matter of conjecture. We
understand that he claims to have
secreted, segregated and sequester-
ed the ear in question behind the
family clock. Some fiend in human
I form entered his dwelling during his
absence and permitted the corn croI
i to- stick to his fingers-hence Charlie
lacks proof of his ability as maize
merchant.

81. P. Hastings made business trip
to Kennewick Wednesday.
The correspondents attention was
called to mistake made in regard to
the average yield of wheat on the
Cresswell homestead in our item in
late paper. Instead of its averaging
twenty-five bushels to the seeded acre
Mr.. Rand combined around eight hun
dred sacks on the quarter, we are not
sure as to the number. The mistake
doubtless came thru the fact that this
quarter, like some other quarters here
had some acres with twenty-five bush
Ell wheat. We are always glad to cor
rect an item, whether it be our faul,
i or our informant's.
