Immigration" on a limited scale
Grant county is the largest
county in the state, extending in
length from a short distance be
yond the first standard of paral
lel south to beyond the eighth
standard parallel south, or from
Umatilla county on the north to
the Nevada line on the south.
A great extent oi her territory is
mountainous, and in the northern
portion of the county a heavy
growth of yellow pine, hr and
tamarack is lounu on ttie moun
tains, making the timber resour
ces unlimited and boundless.
Her most extensive valley, Har
ney and its tributaries, m the
southern portion of the county,
has long been devoted to stock
raising, but of late years the val
ley is rapidly settling up, and al
though the country with the ex
ccption oi sheltered localities is
inclined to be frosty during the
summer months a good quality
of grain and some of the finest
vegetables ever seen were grown
the present year. Burns, Har
ney and Drcwsey the latter in
the Malheur country are the
towns of this extensive Southern
(Jrant county, which in time will
be detached from Grant county,
and on the completion of the
proposed Oregon Pacific railroad
will become sulliciently develop-
i i t i i tit
cd to ranK among tne wealthy
counties of our state.
The John Dav valley and its
tributary vallevs has the most
mild climate of anv in Eastern
Oregon. This valley and tribu
taries eoinposc"aiftirt;a of'country
some io or 80 miles long by from
one to four miles in width, sur
rounded by foothills where grows
tho nutritious bunchgrass, and
back of these the high timbered
mountains. Canyon City,, the
county seat of Grant county,
Prairie City, John Day, Mt. .Ver
non and Dayville, largest in the
order named, are the towns of
the John Day valley. All kinds
of fruits except the tropical
fruits of California and the South
grow hero in profusion. Apples
are shipped from this valley to
Baker City and other points on
the railroad, which rival in fla
vor those grown in any other
portion of Oregon, and only our
remoteness from rail transporta
tion about c;ghty miles pre
vents' Grant county fruit from
going into all parts of the United
States.
Long Creek and Fox valleys
to the north of the John Day are
rapidly coming- to the front in
the way of settlement and devel
opment. Stock raising and farm
ing are the chief occupations, and
these two valleys are about filled
with a good class of prosperous,
industrious and law abiding citi
zens, but yet there is much good
vacant government land for in
tending settlers, which is to be
had for the mere taking, under
the homestead or pre-emption
laws. The town of Long Creek
in the above named valley is a
trading point for that entire coun
try, with the exception of the
villages of Hamilton and Monu
ment, ten and twenty miles be
yond. Silvies and Bear valleys to the
south of the John Day arc utiliz
ed for stock ranges and hay
ranches mostly, their altitude
rendering them unfit for farming
except in sheltered nooks. Much
land is open for settlement, and
we have been shown the present
season as
fine vegetables anH
grain from Bear valley as can be
grown anywhere, but of course
not the entire valley can be de
pended upon for a "garden spot"
on the account of tho frost.
Quartz mining is beginning to
attract attention of outside capi
tal as well as home capitalists.
On Dixie Creek near Prairie City
the work of development has
been going on for a few years, and
the yield of gold from some of
the ledges is no inconsiderable
sum annually. Two five-stamp
mills and two or three arrastras
are -used in crushing the ore,
which is for the greater part free
milling.

mineral belt will be the scene of
great activity, and that the
wealth that lies hidden in our
rock-ribbed mountains will be
dedicated to the use of man to
enhance his joys. The purchase
oi tne Monumental mine in Gran
ite district by a wealthy London
corporation fast summer will in
fuse new life in the mining in
dustry of Grant county, and it
will advance as it has never ad
vanced before.
At the state and county elec
tion last June, Grant county's
voters numbered for congressmen
1,934, which vote allowing five
population for each voter, would
bring our population up to 9,G70
souls. These statistics will hard
ly apply to Grant county, as
such large numbers of her voters
are men without families. Her
taxable property is over $3,000,-
000, scattered over n strip of
God's green earth 200 miles long
by 90 miles wide. Grant coun
ty can furnish a home for thous
ands of families yet, and still
have vacant land to spare. Crops
never fail, and tornadoes or floods
nor fearful epidemics come to
spread desolation.
Bets involving extraordinary
and almost ininossible feats
havo frequently been made and
won. borne years since, when
the late Rev. Henry "Ward
Beecher was delivering lectures

nel de jMeres, of the Troy Times,
amUlLhcjcoulUit. on.

nember every word he said,
and publish it in his paper the
next morning. The wager be

sat on the platform near Mr.
ljccchcs, and at the conclusion
of the lecture went to tne otlice
of the Troy Times ami without
lault or stop dictated the entire
discourse word for word.
Many years ago there lived
near 1 ortland, inc., a prosper
ous old Quaker fanner iiuuied
Jones, whose conscience troub-
ed him if he took any more of
us neighbors money than he
consideied a fair equivalent for
whatever he sold. He fixed one
rice for his butter and never
would take any more, no matter
what the state of the market
might be. One morning his
son Thomas was sent to the vil
lage with si pot of butter, which
he sold for fifteen cents a pound.
On his return he gave his father
the proceeds of his sale. The
old gentlman sent him immedi
ately back to the purchaser to
refund three cents a pound.

"And this," exclaimed the
tourist from 2s'ew England, wip
ing his spectacles and looking
from the summit of tho Mount
of Olives, with a long drawn,
quivering sigh, at the City of
Jerusalem spread out before
him, "is the Holy City! Ah,
well!"
. "It moves you strongly, sir?"
said the guide sympathetically.
"It does it dues. "When I
look out over this historic land
scape, this decaying city, and
reflect that probably none of the
unfortunate beings now residing

And the Xew England tour
ist wept softly.
A Canadian paper perpetrates
this: "A Bosanquent man,
who was out in Dakota this fall,
attended a county fair of the
regular Dakota kind, at Plank
ton. The exhibition consisted
of a bull and pumpkin. The
bull got loose and ate up the
pumpkin, and the fair ended
right there."

elaborate system of elevated

The child, a bright, sweet-faced
lad of ten fair years, bought 15
cents worth of needles and tape,
was waited on promptly by u
charming saleslady, to whom ho
gave a silver quarter. She sent
it via the pneumatic tubes to
the cashier's desk and kinkly
asked the child to sit down and
wait a moment for his change.
Time rolled on, rolled on. It
kept on rolling. In
to the deserted store one day, an
angel, walking down the empty
street, cast his ej'es and quickly
followed the direction of his
glance. He touched the figure
of an man, who leaned wearily
gainst the counter, while his
silver hair and snowy beard fell
to the floor in a fleecy shower.

said the old man, wearily. "I

"Xever mind," said the angel,
softly; "so is the man who in
vented the plan of securing in

A Ruined Industry.
A letter from Mexico says
the brigands are waking up to
the fact their occupation isgoue.
Rapid travel is bringing them
more surely into the clutches of
the law. A gang of wreckers
were pursued and shot less than
a month ago in the state of Du
rango. The leader of tho band
was well known to the Mexican
public by sight and through re
cord of daring deeds and bloody
crimes. Young and boyish in
appearance, handsome, dashing,
and so brave and beloved by the
entire clan of eighteen brigands
that the identity of the chief
was never betrayed or suspected.
The other day the rnrales track
ed them down, sent eight bul
lets through tho captain's heart
and destroyed tho whole band,
not leaving one to tell the story.
They then learned that the
handsome bandit boy was only
a bit of succassful masquerading
for when the riddled sombrero
was removed and the bullet
burned blanket thrown aside a
shapely form was revealed and
the nstonishod soldiers discover
ed that the leader of their foes
had been a woman.
"Did you sec any Quakers in
Philadelphia?" was asked of a
Detroiter who lately returned
from that city. "Only one that
I was sure of." "Did he Uhco
and 'thou' you?" "He did. Ho
got gown oil his hack and said:
'If thee don't pay me two dol-"
Inrs I'll knocK thv blamed head
ofF,' and I paid, although I
knew the regular fare was
twelve shillings. .Yon don't
want to fool with those Quakers
any, and don't you forget it!"
