Crook County Journal
THURSDAY, FEB. 21, 1907.
SubacrlpUoa 11.50 jmt.
Ko nosil since January 31st and
no prospects of any. That U, no
mail of any coneoquence. On
February 16 a few sacks of letter
mail was receWed by way of Dufur
but with this exception it is
twenty-one days since we hs.T got
outside mail.
Patience will soon cease to be a
virtue. Stacks of mail sacks are
lying at Biggs awaiting to be taken
to Bhaniko. Freight teams are
daily making the trip and people
are wondering why Uncle Sam
doeent get a move on himself and
send our mail that way.
Yesterday word reached us by
telephone that there was another
big washout on the 0. R. & N. and
that it would be ten or twelve
days before the Columbia South
ern would be ready for traffic
This report was the straw that
put the camel out of action. Our
business men got busy and sent in
some red hot messages to Will
Wuriweiler who is in Portland
asking him to camp on the trail
of the postal inspector for this dis
trict and not to leave it until the
mail at Bices was moving in this
direction.
A copy of the Moro Observer
which was printed about three
weeks ago gives the first authentic
news of the floods that have play
ed havoc with the Columbia South
ern. The Observer says: "There
could be no prettier snow fall than
that which visited a large extent
of Sherman county this week; 15
inches of pure quality on the dead
level, without a drift any where in
sight It was just the ideal for
sleighing; but alas, it could not be
so. The ground was frozen too
hard to receive it as additional
moisture, and Wednesday it began
to move off toward the Columbia
river at a roaring pace in thape of
dirty water, destructive of every
thing in its path. Pass
ing Lone Rock, east of Moro, the
flood was said to be 10 feet deep;
at De Mots, below Moro, 6 feet deep
between the poetotfice and depot;
at Grass Valley, 11 miles south of
this city, 4 feet."

To the Editor of the Journal
We are enjoying the sunshine.
Our 22 inches of snow has di
minished to 6 inches.
Miss Clara Heely of Haystack,
is visiting relatives here this week,
Joe Wilson left Saturday for a
short stay at Laidlay.
The county division temperature
has been lowered several degrees
within the past few days.
The St. Valentine ball on the
14th was well attended. People
from different parts of the county
were present and report a splendid
time.
It is music to listen to the hum
of the crosscut saw, especially when
Taylor and Graham are at the
handles along side of a grog shop
with the bartender gone and the
back door open.
James and Georce Taylor of
Bear creek, were visiting their
brother of this place the latter
part of the week. They report the
snow all gone at that place and
say that stock are doing well.
D. L. Miller and wife of this
place left Friday for Tygh valley
and The Dalles. Later on they
will go to Montana where Mr. Mil
ler will act as an agent of the In
ternational Conservatory of Music
We wish him success.
ine people oi tnis place are
anxious for their mail. None
from the east has arrived for two
weeks. It may be that Japan has
declared war against Uncle Sam
and has him done to a turn before
this. We know nothing to the
contrary.
Hardy Allen of this place met
with an accident Thursday even
ing while milking his cow. For
some reason not known to Hardy
his bovine friend jolted him one
just below the left eye. It is not
yet clear to his mind whether the
cow used two or four legs. Legs
and stars were plentiful about
that time.
The Man Looking roR a Job.
Redmond, Or., Feb, 18, 1907.
Mr. Beeeing of Sisters was a
business caller in Redmond Thursday.
Mrs. P. K. Simons entertained
several of her friends Thursday

another attack of her old trouble
last week.
Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Jones gave a

attended and everybody had
good time.
We were very pleasantly sur

Dufur.
Mr. Bnckley and a force of car
penters haw been busy the past

light just at present, but Carl

in on the stage Thursday night.
It isTeported that Percy Walzer
has bought Mr. Wright's team and
will farm this summer. We won
der whether Mrs. Walzer OT Percy

The north and south road
through here has been viewed and
chained as petitioned for and it
now seems probable that we are
soon to be able to go somewhere on
a legal basis.
The blacksmith shop in Red
mond is again open for business at
the old stand. Bring in your
horses and have them shod, have
your plows sharpened and get
your tools ready for spring work.
Seeding time will soon be here.
The carpenter work at the experi
ment farm is nearly completed.
Mrs. Renehan is expected home be
fore long and Mr. R. is busy get
ting things in shape to receive her.
We understand that Mr. R. will

carrying on the farm.
Yours truly, E. C. Park.

Mother Peck Not Concerned.
I wish to eay to Mother Peck
that it is news to me that either
she or anyone eke ever grubbed
any sagebrush for me at Haystack.
If the church made a donation
party to pay me for my services
she had nothing to do with that
as she was not a church member
And if the Workman Lodge made
my wire fence while I was down
with la grippe she was not a mem
ber of the lodge. I spent $300 im
proving that ranch and sold the
improvements for $150, and never
thought of anyone questioning
my right to do so.
