A business transaction of more than ordinary interest was closed out in this city the first of the week. We refer to the purchase of the Chapin Roller Mills by Messrs. S. M. Stanford and Ed S.

Wood, of this city. One reason for purchasing this fine property was that it might not be removed from this city, as was contemplated, as we understand several parties from Wamego were here last week for the purpose of buying the mills and moving them to Wamego. The action of Messrs. Stanford and Wood shows a broad gauge spirit of liberality which our citizens will not fail to fully appreciate. The mill has been absorbed by the Wood Elevator Company, and hereafter it will be known as the Minneapolis Mills and Elevator and will embrace all the interests of the Wood Elevator Co.

m. Found folks all well; rested up Saturday; Sunday I started out to see the sights of the city; worked the city for four days, and left for Stookton Tuesday on the steamer Webber. Stockton is the center of the Garden of Eden. Found everything looking natural. The old apple trees are here, but the old folks are dead.

I found some of the descendents of the "old stock" of Adam and Eve here, flying about in different occupations, but the most surprising thing was to see a header cutting wheat with a sickle bar 36 feet long and drawn by a traction engine which out, thresh and sack. The field was a small one-only a thousand acres. the next curiosity was a header at work, 24 foot sickle bar and propelled by 24 horses -out, thresh and sack--teams following and gathering up the sacks. This is a great country for ducks. A woman here had six ducks; "in 135 days they laid 810 eggs.

How is that for ducks? California is a great country for curiosities, too. Ducks and bens lay double eggs, fresh egg in one end and a chick or a duck ready to walk out of the other end. Enclosed find slip taken from Stockton paper: "The farm of Mrs. R. Franklin, four miles wast of Woodbridge, has produced a ourio worth reporting.

One of the hens at this place is in the habit of laying eggs of an unusually large size and containing two yolks. Last week Mrs. Franklin broke one of the eggs that had been laid but the day before; one of the yolks was perfectly fresh, but in place of the other was a chicken, apparently ready to be hatched, partially enclosed by an egg shell."
