I up we I YE EDITOR'S TRIP EAST (Continued from page 1) left Lincoln, Neb., t hour and 10 minutes late and did not gain any time during the run to Billings, Montana, but lost two more good hours. This caused us to miss the train we should have taken out of there. The run was made in the niirlit and we could sec but little of the country. We met on the train 0. C. Anderson of the Ansehno Enterprise, who spoke very highly of the condition of things in his section of Nebraska. One thing that filled us with dc light and wonder was the thousands upon thousands of fine sleek, fat cattle and fat sheep on the broad prairies of Wyoming, So. Dakota and Montana. These great herds had nothing to cat but buffalo grass, a short, dry, brown grass not over six inches nigh which urn not look to be more nutritious than saw dust, but the stock was there in evidence. Inch crauc and fat as butter, thousands of them. The pine trees began to manifest them selves at Marshland and seem to be encroachinir upon the desert. If those rugged hills arc protected from fires they will, in a century or two, become covered with dense pine forests and they seem to be fit for nothing else. At Edgemont So. Dakota one ol the passengers became so thirsty that he had to go to a iatr shop for his second can of Schlit. and the train pulled out without him. He caught us at Hilllnirs. however, and took the L'uvimi of the bunch good uaturcd ly. We passed the noted name field of Custer near the Crow agen cv and could not see where that brave leader made his gaiiaui light At the aticncy the si washes were holding their annual dance and all the Indians in that section were entitled west of town, their tepecs just visible in the moonlight. HllliiiKS is a lovely city with splendid biilldiims and surrounded with great fields 01 niiana ana sugar beets for the sugar factory located at that place. We letl nil IIiil'S at 8 a. ill. and passed the entire day through great grain fields. Much grain is being grown along the bottoms of the Yellow stone river, where n lew years ago the red man held undisputed sway. Erom llig Timber toMuir, 40 miles, the altitude increases from 4062 feet to . si 1 6 the highest point on the road. Livingstone is another beautiful city with the most rung uificeut depot we have seen. It is built of pressed brick and yellow stone from the Yellowstone cotin try. At Ilozcmau we passed through the tunnel located 111 the pass that Captain Clarke crossed the mountain through in 1806. It took us five minutes to make the pass and required five weeks for the captain, such is the difference In the mode of travel. Down the mountain we fairly (lew from here to lloenian with its two big elevators having a capnclty of 150,000 bushels of wheat each and a big brewery which turns out ciioiikIi beer to give every man in Montana a good, healthy tag every day. At llelgrade, the next stop north, is another elevator ol 350 000 bushels capacity. In this sec tiou the best hard winter wheat in the world is grown. Through nil this country the grain is being hauled to the threshers by teams from the fields and the shocks of grain .seem to cover half the ground. It is the heaviest grain we have ever seen. Between Logan and Sapiugton we crossed the head waters of the Missouri river known locally as Jefferson river. It is about the size of Hood River and the waters of the stream are clear and spark ling as those of our favorite Oregon river. At Lombard the new Mil wmikee line crosses both the Jefler sou and the Northern I'acihc on its way to the coast, and this seems to lie their front at present. We ar rived at Helena, Montana at dark. We have heard and read much in praise of this city and should have been glad to see it in daylight. We never had any idea of the product iveuess of the Montana soil and it would do the heart of the farmer good to see the heavy crotw that are in evidence everywhere along the hue in that state. It was a! most worth all the dirt and filth of the car, the impudence and appar ent dense ignorance ol the trainmen just to see this wonderful country. The only information we were able to elicit from any of the train crew was "I don't know," That seemed to be their stereotyiHHl reply to all questions, lor when we asketl one of them his name he said: "I don't none of your damn business." When the Milwaukee gets into that territory it Is going to work a rev olutiou to the service of that road or they will be pulling empty coaches. That is no josh. In Helena there is another fine depot. ft is about the size ot the union depot in Portland, is built of brick and ccineut in Egyptian style of architecture with a double coloti nade of cement Miliars under the ...1.1,.. l. f.. 1 I miiiiai, winic 1111; interior is musiicti with Utah marble. At the top of the Rockies we passed through the Vosberg tunnel, the longest, we believe iu America, and we did not know anything more until we got with the sun at the top of the Coeur d'AIene mountains. Then raced down the mountain and Idaho, about 50 miles in length by from one to five miles in width Near the west end of this lake is Sand Point, where are located sev cral large smelters for reducing the ores of the different mines. Up in the hills about there are prospect holes so thick that they arc piled up on top of each other like cord wood and we arc told some of them are so old and the dirt has washed away so that they stick out of the ground three or four feet. Here, too, there are millions of telephone poles cut from tamarack and cedar forests, and there arc millions of young tamarack trees growing all through the mountains for future lines of wires. We do not know of a more delightful spot on earth to spend a summer vacation than Pcnd O'Riele with its beautiful lake surrounded by tamarack for csts and metre I hills and moun tains. If we were rich we would take an ox team and drive across the country so that we might have good traveling accommodations until some railroad came into that country, and spend a month every summer there. At bpokanc, we parted with a very genial traveling companion in the person of Ira Welch of Spring field, Mo. , who was on his way to Spraguc, Wash. He promised to sec St. Johns soon ns convenient and wc will be glad to welcome him here. Between Spokane and Cheney wc met Mrs. S. E. IJIythc and daughter, Clara, who were making a visit among friends in the Sound country and were mak ing their way towards their home in Hood River. Dark came on again as wc entered the fruit belt of Eastern Washington and wc coutd sec but little of it. Wc passed a few peach 'and apple or chards before reaching Prosscr and wc stopped at North Yakima with our mouth made up for some of their "just as good as Hood River" apples, but they seemed to be as indifferent as the Northern Pacific train men and service generally and not n matt was in sight to sell an apple, and we were obliged to go on our way with others gnawing the file of our discontent instead of using our grinders on the pomolog- ical products of the famous Yakima valley. Wc had another long wait at Taconm due to the slipshod way the N. P. has of doing business, but from there to rortlaud it was a very pleasant ride The train although late when it started never lost a minute, the cars were neat and clean, the trainmen courteous and intelligent, helpful to passcn gers that needed assistance, in fact, model employes such as arc found 011 the O. R. & N., O. S. I., and U. P., and right here is the only reason for the change wc can con lecture, there is brisk competition between Taconm and rortlaud, while there is none cast from Ta coma, f or that reason if you ever wish to make the trip to or Irom the states shun the Northern Pu cific as you would the plague. The O. R. iV N. officials and em ployes treat you with the respect due a fellow mortal: if you need information you get it: if you need assistance it is forthcoming; the coaches are neat, well lighted, cieati, wei venuiaicd, winic those of the N. P. are just the optosite, and if a woman with five babies and a big basket came along to ride on their train she might get 011 the best way she could, it would be nothing to the men who act as train men. We have the mimes of nearly a do.eu passengers who tie- dared it was their last ride on that In spite of the fine fields of grain we passed it was goal for the eyes tc tin tir1fict!iitr rrMi nf tvtwt. crn vsi,lnKton nnd Oregon. There is nothing which can take its place ami there is no spot quite so pleas ant as home, sweet home on the historic Willamette. The City Potato Patch. Someone, we think connected with the popular store of Mayor Couch, shied a potato at a festive canine last spring and the tuber lodged in the soft dirt back of the fire bell iu front of the city hall. l lie spud came up iu due course of time and like Longfellow's tur nip "it grew uud it grew as long as it was able," No attention was paid to the city's potato patch until there was talk ot leveling off this portion of the city property when the eagle eye ot the city re corder rested upou the vigorous lull of spuds, Brother Kssou has had a sharp eye out for the future ever since the stork visited his domicile and here was an oppor tunity to add to his wiutcr supply of tubers. Grabbing a hoe he bravely attacked that potato patch and iu a few minutes had extracted 94 pounds of elegant Irish apples irom the lull. He says if he cau beg, borrow or steal a dog from any one next spriug he will stake nun out there for a target for the boys iu Couch's store, and by tuov- ing him occasionally will have the whole plat seeded to tubers. If this soil without cultivattou will tills nll witliiMit t-llltitntinn produce pouuds of spuds with a little cultivation which he might give between cases iu the municipal! court he ought to be able to grow a half bushel to the hill.
