From Ellstrrtl On g n
JIavville. Wasco Co., Or.,
F. Lrunry 14, ISSj )
Editor Guard: I havo during the
past few wppIsh rocfivrd wveral lfttcrs
from relations and friondti in your
section of the country asking as regards
the condition of things after the Win
tpr. Togivp all my friend nn answer
I will state the following: Until the
14th of DncmhrT thn weather was as
nice as could Wo wished for Ly anyone.
On the 5th the tir.it snow of the neason
fdl, covering thn gronnd to the- depth
of an inch, which lay on until tho lflth
when it begun to snow acain, and on
th 17th the general depth of snow was
thirty inches. We had a little rain on
Dec 20th which wns followed Ly a frost
and formed a crust an inch in thick
neaa on kop of the bnow, For several
day following snow fell every day,
more or less, and to the best of knowl'
edge tho deepest snow was 34 inches
on a level. On an avenge the mercury
stood fifteen degrees lielow zero. Tlie
coldest day was Dec 18th, when the
mercury dropped to 18 below zero. A
Chinook wind commenced to Mow Jan
5th and the snow melted rapidly, mid
in about ten days our grassy hills could
he seen once more. We havo had two
or three light falls of snow since the
storm, ut they were of little consequence.
Stock as a rule did well, with the
exception of sheep. The cattle nnd
torses 011 the range- did well nnd the
oks will not exceed 5 per cent. The
stock that were drove from your valley
lere have done well, hut of course they
were fed, otherwise they would havo
died, A great many of the sheep men
are looking quite Mue, their loss heing
yery heavy. Ilea who had their sheep
at home lost hut few, hut sheep that
were where feed could not he had fared
hadly. The loss is about 50 per cent,
and those that did live aie nearly des
titute of wopl.
In this locality there are. several who
are cilled "Wi bfeet." Some of them
have lost their "webs," and such could
he seen walkiii" and riding around
during the coldest weather us if it were
a day in June. Those who have not
lost the "weh" were afraid of sinking i'l
the snow, or that it might l.e chilled
hy the biting frost, and therefore re.
maincd as near the lire as possible-
rm .11 , .
inese tenner lew are niaKing prepara
tions to go hack mid make the Wil
lamette Valley their home for life.
Our country is undergoing a rapid
change; farmers are all busy fencing
and plowing. The Lest laud will he
all fenced up inside of six months.
There is very good land still vacant
that would make good home for many
families that have poor ones in your
vallny. We cordially invite all enter
prising young men, and old ones too,
to come and join us, but I would say
that thero are enough bachelors here
now, and young men who intend
coming here will do well to take unto
themselves a wife before mi'Tatins.
The prospects cf our farmers are quite
bright Fall sown grain looks well,
and everything bids fair for a bright
fuiuro for the bunch grass.
Our town, Mayviile, is yet in its
infancy; it is only about right months
since it was named. We have a store,
saloon, blacksmith shop, and Mr. Tom
MooTe will start a now blacksmith shop
soon, which will be a great accommoda
tion loour farmers and stockmen. There
is a broad field for an enterprising
merchant in Mayville, and 1 am
satisfied that a good live man would do
well. Our neighborhood is as quiet
and friendly as cnuld be wished for.
We are aliout to have a fino two story
frame school house erected.
Not wishing to intrude upon your
valuable Rpace further, I am
Very respectfully,
iSl'RSCRIBER.

a few minutes and then introduced
Andrew Carnegie, who is one of th
wealthiest iron masters in Pittsburg,

America, and lias civen BellevueCoflegn
$50,0017 with which to build a' labra-
tory. In the course of a brief address
Mr. Carnegie nade this remarkable"
allufion: "If we consider the military
profession we find that the physician
is the opposite of the soldier;, lie lives?
to kill, you live to save. You all read
the other week r f a mart who likod the
sport of man killing so' well that he
could not rest at home in peace, Itft
ran to Egypt in pursuit of his favorite
sport. Inr time camo tho turn of tho
irave savages and they killed him.
The cable inform us that 'he died like
a true British bulldog.' He did in
deed. Having lived a bulldog's life it
was fitting ho should die' the death of
a dog, and I beg the pardon of a dog:
The hero of barbarism is the man who
braves danger to destroy; the hero of
barbarism is the man. who braves dan
ger to save." The young ' doctors and
the audience cheered Mr. Carnegie's
remarks.
