IT WAS NOT PASSED.
A subscriber recently wrote to the New
York World as follows :
"I want to get the names and address
es of the members of the senate and the
house who voted in favor of the bill to
' demonetize silver; also the names oi
the chairmen of the committees that
recommended it, and the date of the pas
sage of the bill. F. N. M.
Marquette, Mich
" No bill was ever passed "to demone
tize silver." Silver was demonetized by
a trick, and not more than three men
in the city of Washington knew when it
was done or within a year thereafter,
even, that it had been done. This de
monetization was the result of a com
bination among half a dozen of the lead
ing gamblers of the Gold Board, which
had its ramification abroad. The coin
age committee of 'the house reported a
"bill to codify the mint laws." The
necessity for that codification was well
known, and the chairman explained
that no change had been made in any of
the laws, but that the different acts
bearing upon the mint had been brought
together onder one section. The bill
was not even read except by title. It
was passed without one dissenting vote.
In the section enumerating the different
lawful silver coins of the United States
the word "dollar" was omitted, begin
ning "the half dollar," etc. No one
noticed the Omission. Even a careful
reading of tlie bill by every member of
congress would not have revealed the
trick to any one of them. No one was
thinking of the demonetization of eilver.
No human being on the face of the earth
had ever suggested such a thing. The
eilver dollar was at three cents premium
over the gold dollar, and when the gold
dollar was quoted at 116 the silver dol
lar was quoted at 119. The word had
been stricken out by some member of
-the committee withont the knowledge of
his unsuspecting colleagues; but who
did it has never been discovered. In
after years each member of the coinage
committee expressly disclaimed any
knowledge of the trick or that he knew
or had heard that the word "dollar" had
been omitted. The bill went to the
senate, was referred to its committee on
coinage, exaniined perfunctorily, re
ported by Mr. Sherman (the chairman)
to the senate, and passed by the senate
on Mr. Sherman's assurance that it
made no change in the law. only bring
ing all the different laws together. Af
ter the bill was passed the secret that
silver had been demonetized was care'
fully kept. No member of the govern
ment knew it. Six months after, and
again a year after, President Grant, not
knowing that silver had been demone
tized, advocated the coinage of more
silver dollars. At that time there were'
some in the country. The secretary of
the treasury also advocated the same
thing. To their intense astonishment
they were shown the report of the di
rector of the German mint, in which he
stated that America had demonetized
its silver coinage.' The statement had
been laughed at as the blunder of a for
eigner, but upon the examination of the
mint laws as codified under the act of
the year before, it was discovered that
silver had been demonetized for a year.
Every effort from that moment to this
to take the back track has been de
feated. WHAT'S IN A NAME.
Charles H. Dodd, a Portland million
aire, and the balance of the committee
"appointed by the governor to devise
WJys and means for presenting the bat
t rahip Oregon a suitable testimonial,"
are out in an appeal to the people of the
state, said appeal filling a column of
Friday's Oregonian. The argument
the committee makes as to why the tes
timonial shall be made Is not applicable
to the subject; in fact does not concern
it. They go into the question that a
navy is a grand thing, which is ot couree
admitted by everybody; but Just why it
is necessary for the state to present the
ship a silver service is not so plain.
YH if it was, the people, the common,
evry-day, poor people, are not the ones
to provide it. Some of the rich people
should do that ; some of those who look
upon . silver as utterly valueless, for
instance, might give freely, since it
costs nothing. .
Another feature of the "appeal" is
that to the "school children of every
district and parish.4' The committee,
with far-seeing eyes, realising how diffi
cult it would be to make a full grown,
sensible man subscribe to the fund, has j
designs on the nickel and the dime that
erstwhile found its way into the mis
sionary box, and sometimes pot as far
out of the country as New York. 'In
ppeaking of the glorious opportunity
offered the children to come forward
and exemplify the old proverb about a
fool and his money being soon parted,
the committee says: 'The lesson of
patriotism could not be better instilled
in the mind of the child or citizen than
that each and everyone within our bor
ders shall have a patriotic personal and
financial interest in this ship." The
adult citizen already has a financial in
terest in the ship, and the youngster
growing up will soon learn all the lee
sons of patriotism that can be tanght by
taxing him. The citizens of Oregon
pay their pro rata of the salaries of the
officers and men
The name Oregon is a pretty one.
but only loaned to them, ibere la a
good deal in a name, too. For instance,
if Mr. Dodd would lend us the use of
his for a few minutes, we will present
the cruiser a $10,000 memento in the
name of the state, and not filch the
nickels from the guileless youngsters.
If the committee will bead the list,
however, something may be done ; but
its members must not expect to get off
with just passing the bat.
OLD WASCO COUNTY.
A FEW BRIEF FACTS CONCERNING
ITS RESOURCES.
Fruits, Fish, Farm and Forests She '
Has Them All, and Unlimited
Water Power.
Are you a home-seeker? If so, we
have a few words to say to you, and ask
you to peruse this somewhat lengthy
article. If you are from the country
east of the Rocky mountains, it will give
you an idea of the limited section of the
Pacific slope, of which it treats a coun
try different in many respects from that
you occupy. Dinerent in topograpny,
soil, climate, products and possibilities.
A country of grand mountains, broad,
rolling prairies, magnificent riyers,
equable climate and boundless possibili
ties. We will tell you in advance that,
while the resources of this country are
boundless, there are no ripe peaches
waiting to drop into your mouth ; but
that here, as everywhere eke, it re
quires energy and labor to gain a com
petence. We believe, though, that the
opportunities for the industrious are
boundless, and- that toil will here meet
a more abundant reward than anywhere
else in the United States. Read the
1 facts and judge for yourself :
BOUNDARIES AND GEOGRAPHY.
Wasco county is situated on the north
boundary of the state. Commencing
in the grand canyon of the Columbia,
where that river cuts its way through
the main range of the Cascade mount
ains and at a point on the line of the
summit of that range, it extends east
ward about sixty-six miles to the mouth
of the Deschutes river. Its eastern
boundary Hue follows that river up for
about thirty miles in a southerly direc
tion, thence again easterly to the John
Day river, which marks its eastern
boundary the balance of the way, thence
due west to the summit of the main
Cascade range, which it follows north
erly to the place of beginning. It con
tains about 4,000 square miles. The
western half of the county is heavily
timbered, yellow and red firs, hemlock
and pine prevailing in the order named
This timber is of fine quality, the forests
so lar untouched, and will some day
prove a source of vast wealth. At pres
ent, however, it is used only to the ex
tent of supplying the local markets, if
we except one mill situated at flood
River, and which cuts some 7,000,000
feet a year in the shape of ties tor the
Union Pacific railroad company.
Owing to its situation on the eastern
side of the mountains, the surface of the
county has a general slope to the east.
The long ridges, covered with timber,
si ope gradually down' nntil near "the
center of the county the timber eives
place to bare hills, which in turn soon
melt imperceptibly into the high rolling
prairies of Eastern Oregon. The north
ern portion of the county elopes to the
north, its drainage being into the Col
umbia. If yon will take a glance at the
maps of Oregon and Washington you
will notice that the Cascade range, ex
tending through both states and paral
lel to the coast line, presents an almost
impassable barrier between the eastern
and western portions of those states,
and glancing along its line in Oregon
you will see that no railroad as yet
crosses its Eummit within the, state.
You will see from this, further, that the
natural outlet of Eastern Oregon, or the
Inland Empire, as it is familiarly called
here, is the Columbia river. The prod
ucts of the country must find the mar
kets of the world either by being hauled
clear across the continent, or by finding
a nearer market only a. hundred or two
miles away down the Columbia, where
our wheat, wool and other products
reach tide water, and thence by the
cheapest of all transportation, the deep
sea ships, to the world's markets.
You will see further from this that
The Dalles, situated at the head of nav
igation on the middle Columbia, is the
natural shipping point for a vast terri-
tory, both to the north and south. . In
deed the wool from points nearly 200
miles south of it finds its market there,
and the supplies needed are received
and forwarded from that point to all the
contiguous territory. This is a cond
tion that not only exists now, but one
that, in the very nature of things, must
exist forever. The first available pass
throueh which a railroad can be built
across the mountains south of us is dis
tnnt about 150 miles, so that for at least
a hundred miles to the sonth of us the
c mti try must alwavs find its outlet and
receive its supplies from The Dalles. It
is a natural trading point, and was the
great meeting place of the Indian tribes
of the Northwest long before the white
man ever heard of thij country. To
them it was known as "Hooey Hooey,"
or "the trading place." The Indians
from the lower Columbia brought np
canoes, those of Yakima came with
their horses, and the Nez Perces and
Shoshones came with buffalo robes and
dried flesh, all to meet at this common
trading point to exchange their com mod
ities with each other, and to purchase
the annual supply of salmon, caught
in vast quantities "from the Colum
bia at the rapids a few miles east of
here. Lewis and Clark, th Astor ex
pedition and Bonneville found great
numbers of Indians here, the latter giv
ing quite a description of the village of
Wishram, which was situated upon the
present site of The Dalles, and which
was then, as it is now, rna as it ever
will be, a trading point, made so by its
geographical position and the contour
of the country. But of this we will
8.eak more fully hereafter.
'soil and CKors.
The northwestern portion of the
United States, and a large portion of
British Columbia was at one time sub
jected to a tremendous overflow of lava,
and in consequence the mountain ranges
are composed of basalt, while the
prairies of Eastern Oregon and Wash
ington have that same material for a
foundation. It is the greatest mass of
basalt in the known globe. Following
this, the country between the Rocky
mountains and the Cascades, or their
continuation, the Sierra Nevadas, was
covered by a vast inland sea, and the
soil of this region therefore is sediment
ary, consequently largely of decomposed
basalt, and is therefore exceedingly rich
in plant food, and its wearing qualities
are unexcelled. It will stand recropping
to cereals longer than any other, and is
in this respect practically inexbausti
ble. It yields generously, even to the
slipshod methods of farming to which
much of it is subjected, and while not
every crop is the best, such a thing as a
total failure is unknown. It retains
moisture well, and good crops ot wheat
can be, and in some years have been
grown without seeing a drop of rain
from the time the seed was sown until
the grain was harvested.
Everything that can be grown in the
temperate zone will do well here, though,
in common with most of the Pacific
coast, corn is not raised extensively on
account of the coolness of the nights.
Wheat, oats, barley, potatoes and vege
tables of all kinds do well and yield
abundantly. The staple crop of the
country has been, and for that matter is
yet, wheat, which was raised iu large
quantities, and which found its market
in Europe, going by way of the Horn.
Until very recently this was depended
upon by the farmers as the sum total of
farming. The recent extremely low
prices for wheat has changed this, and
the farmers soon found that putting
their wheat into hogs and cattle was
far more profitable than shipping it.
Growing the wheat can be done at
trifling expense, and in fact it can be
put in the stack or barn ready for feed
ing at a less price per bushel than corn.
Under the methods used, one man with
six horses will plough eight acres per
day, and as the seed is sown by machin
ery, ' the broadcast sower, covering a
strip eighty feet in width, a whole farm
can be seeded in a few davs. The liar-
vesting is done with headers, and a half
dozen men and boys will put twenty-
five acres in the stack every day. There
is no cultivation required as in the case
of corn, and hence one man will seed and
harvest four or five times the acreage .he
could in that grain.
Heretofore farmers have shipped
wheat and imported bacon and other
hog products; now the grain fields of
Wasco are not only supplying the local
demand, but the surplus is finding a
market in Omaha and Chicago. This
will stimulate' the farming industry, as
it not only gives a market for the grain,
but cuts off the expense of threshing,
the costs of Backs, and the hauling of
the grain to market, the three items of
expense amounting to from 20 to 30
cents per bushel, according to distance
trom the shipping point. Oats, barley
and rye all do well, but are not raised
in quantities larger than will supply the
local market, except such as is cut when
in the milk for hay, and they are used
almost universally for that purpose.
Last year Wasco county shipped about
600,000 bushels of wheat, an amount
that will probably not be increased, un
less high prices prevail, as more' and
more of it will be fed to stock. Pota
toes are a sure crop, and yield well, and
though raised only to meet the losal
demand, the call from the EaBt met
with response here, and some 15 car
loads were shipped this spring. Onions,
lettuce and radishes grown in the open
air were in the markets early in March
and in abuudance.
.' ' STOCK. 5
In the earlier settlement of the coun
try it was devoted entirely to stock
raising the prairies and the hillsides
being covered with a luxuriant growtl
of bunchgrassj -which gave sustenance to
vast herds of cattie and horses. For
several years that was the sole industry
and the idea prevailed that the land
would not grow anything, but as expe
riments showed that it was a prolific
and unfailing soil, the bunchgrass lands
began to be turned into wheat fields.
In spite of this, however, the stock in
dustry is the leading one of Eastern
Oregon, and Is a very important one in
Wasco county. The sloping hillsides
are covered with cattle,-and when
certain distance . from the river is
reached, usually about thirty miles, the
lands are still devoted to stock-raising
on account of the expense of haulinsr
farm products to market. - While the
exact figures are not attainable, a con'
servative estimate of the number of cat
tle ebipped from this point each year
shows that the grand total reaches the
handsome sum of 206 carloads, or about
5,500 head. To this should be added
220 carloads ot sheep and sixty of hogs.
The assessor's figures for 1894 show that
the county has 210,000 sheep, and be
sides this Crook county, lying to the
south of us, has as many more, and
both the increase and wool from these
vast flocks find their market at The
Dalles. In the summer these 'flocks
find fresh and abundant pastures in the
Cascade mountains. They are usually
run in flocks of from 1,500 to 3,000, and
as soon as the shearing season is over
they are started for the mountains, fol
lowing the grass np, as the season opens
often being close to the retreating
snows, and only stopping at the line of
perpetual snow on Hood, Jefferson, and
the other great peaks. In the fall they
feed down the mountain's again, nipping
the tender era sees started by the fall
rains, and arriving at their winter qur
ters in fine condition. The raising of
horses is being abandoned, owing to
their low price, but we add by way
of information that this was the
original home of the "noble animal."
In the fossil beds of the John Day (in
some respects the fineBt in the world) are
found the petrified remains ot Eo-hip-
pus, the primal horse. The full grown
animals were not larger than a good
sized sheep. -
WOOL.
It is bard to estimate the amount of
wool grown in this county, for that from
Morrow and Grant counties finds mar
ket at The Dalles,, Wasco's county seat,
and considerable comes from Klickitat
county, Washington, on the north. It
is probably in the neighborhood of
2,000,000 pounds. The Dalles is the
greatest wool shipping point in the
United States ; that is, there is more
wool gathered here from first hands.
The amounts will run from 4,500,000 to
7,000,000 pounds, or, on an average,
about 3,000 tons. Large fortunes have
been accumulated in the industry, and
though prices are now low, it . is still
profitable, and the outlook is brighter
on account of the increased and increas
ing prices of mutton ; prices that prom
ise to be permanent, not only for mut
ton, but for beef, and wihch will com
pensate largely for the low price of wool
prevailing the past two years.
