MADRAS.
John Telfson returned last week
from a trip to Portland on business.
Hello! Clackamas! - you want to
know something of Madras? Well It
is a place (the town) not as large
as Clackamas In your county.- There
are three general stores, three hotels,
three livery barns, two saloons,, two
blacksmith shops, one flouring mill, flne
barn ware store,, one grocery store,
two butcher shops, one printing office,
(Madras Pioneer), one photograph gal-
' le--y. one lumber yard, one furniture
re-&tore,etc, and about fifteen residences,
The town is situated on Willow Creek
. In a low depression In the country
familiarly called the basin, where a
supply of water is found to supply tne
farmers for a radius of ten miles
around, and is the headquarters for at
least one thousand farmers, all of
whom haul water and wood from one
to fifteen miles making a good trade

not harvested at all. This is the ex
tent of my knowledge of grain crops,
having been a resident of Crook Coun
ty less than two years.
The climate is very changeable-
that is dry and cold in winter and
very warm in summer, with plenty
of wind all the time. Very little snow
this winter up to the 10th of January,
and scarcely any rain. Roads have
been dusty all winter up to present
time. There has been plenty of rail
road talk, but nothing of a permanent
nature so far, and until there is a
railroad built to this section there will
not be much improvement, as all mer
chandise, farm machinery, etc., has
to be freighted by teams from Shan
iko, the terminus of the Columbia
Southern, to Madras, a distance of 45
miles, and costs from GOc to $1.25 per
hundred pounds, making living an ex
pensive luxury. If we had a railroad
and plenty of water it would be a par
adise of a country to live in, but at
the present we have neither, so you
can draw your own conclusion. I am
from Clackamas county myself and
have to go to Clackamas county once
in a while to get my ribs soaked up.
If you want to Snow more about this
section, state your questions and with
the permission of the editor of the
Courier I will answer all questions to
the best of my knowledge All trades
are fairly represented, such as car
penters, painters, paperhangers, etc.,
and farmers galore.

the doubles six, five, four and three
happen to be on the several ends, so
the game should be 10,000. Another
