Dayville, Oun Oct. 19th, 1879. Editor News: Your Dayvillo cor respondent must have certainly gone abroad perhaps to recuperate his brain after his mental labors for hih and low have I sought him, mourning for the cause and dreading it might not fiod favor in his eyes. But the crops being all in, and having turned out to ; o o i 1 n , , n , ,, . , . ma jjcnuui fruusiuuiiuii, biieii; is iKiiiiing more to interest him, heuce his uhsence and it entails on me the unwanted task of writing a rletter to "the paper." But the need is pressing, judge for yourself. This valley is fnll of beef cuttle ready for market; no buyers coiuiug in, stock men are gathering preparatory to driving on their own account, in fact one band has"1 already started. Now this will necessitate that all those dash ing "cow-boys" euphonious name, be absent from us for months, leaving no bndy, yes, positively nobody in the country, of the male iiender. So what are we poor girls to do ? Of course there will be a few married men and sheep herders left, but well married men are out of the question; sheep- herders are well enough in their wav, but my dear, sweet darlini; cow-boys we "iris want, and if they once gt to the railroad, they are actually liaole to board ihe cars bound for distant climes, anu never letnrn to u. Ur worse still, the artful wiles of those city girls may o .tice their hearts from our kep ing, and then, oh ! what shall we do? Then help us please, Mr. Editor, send cattle buyers in and save our cause lor ' it is the country's. But how are We to fiirht this Eastern ogre to us at leist Mr. Ltiiiiir. who has contracted for nearly all the cattle between Spanish (iulch anil the Dos Chutes river, his latest purchase beiri: from Messrs. "Cook and Howe, of the Culch, will take so mativ cattle out of the county and consequently many of our cow-boys. Oh I hate him ! I wish though I knew whether he was married or not, for he must have lot of money, and would be a splendid catch. By the way was'nt that French man horrid when ho compared ".Man to a gudgeon, woman the 1 no; her smile the hook; her kiss the bait; and inarriaire to the. frying pan ?" That last is '-awfully awful." Mr. Laingpays S7 for yearlings, $10 for two year olds and cmvs, 18 for three year olds, and S20 for four 3 ear olds, and if he takes a single vaqucro from our midst, may mine b:i the task of writing his obitnarv. But oh you cute little vavueros "Away ! T am not cryin,' Your charge I'm donyin.' You'te wrong to attribute such weak ness to toe; Rut if fears T showin ld have ye beknowin' They're thed out of sorrow that ye should leave me. MAKY ANN. The Local Pavehs. The Western Homestead, one of the leading agri cultural papers of our land, says that a huge proportion of people do nothing to support their local papers, ami yet reap the benefit every day of the editor's work A man will say, "Advertising docs not pay in my business. I have to keep men on the road, and get mjr customers by going after them;" and yet the fact is that the town in which he does business would be unknown, the railroad over -which he ships his goods would be unbuilt, and he him self would be unheard of, if it were not for the newspaper, which he says does him no good. The local paper is of advantage to every man in the com munity, and when a man refuses to con tribute to the support of the paper on the ground "that it does him no good," he might just as well refuse to pay his taxes for the support of the courts and the police force, on the ground that he never breaks the law and does not neod any officers. There are men who believe themselves to be honest and pious, who are doing business in every community, and every day appropriat ing to their own use the fruits of other men's labors, by reaping the benefit of the newspaper without contributing a cent to its support, and yet they would be terribly shocked if they should bo charged with stealing wood from their neighbors. But the principle is just the same, the only difference being that in one case the law enn reach them, and in the orher it cannot; but, moral ly, it is just as dishonest to tcal the fruits of your neighbor's enterprise as to steal his fuel or his chickens. Too much credit cannot be given the week- i ly paper for the work it has done and is still doing lor this country. To Fit I ends. We hope the friends throughont the county will make it a point to keep us informed concerning events happening in their neighborhood. It brings a section of country into no toriety by having spicy correspondence thcrpfroin. No matter how your com municaetons may be written, we'll fix 'en: up. All we want are facts.
