A Readable Letter from an Alliance
'-'.- Organiser.
' -r Wamic, Or., Feb. 21, 1891.
Editor Chbonicxb. n
For the benefit of those of your readers
that may wish to know about the growth
and prosperity of the Farmers' Alliance
in Wasco county, I would say that there
are six sub-alliances in the county. They
are all in a prosperous condition and
were well represented in the convention
that was held -with Columbia Alliance
No. 1, on Eight Mile in this county, on
the 20th inst., pursuant to a call by the
the state organizer for the purpose of
organizing a county alliance, preparatory
to organizing a state alliance in the near
future.
The farmers are beginning to realise
the' necessity of Borne action on their
part to secure their, rights and freedom
that they have so long neglected, and
assuming these rights among mankind,
and in doing this we make no fight with
capital, where capital is not used to crush
out the birthright of the tillers of the
soil, but we will hereafter stand by those
that stand by us, . We will watch with
care the political parties and their repre
sentations, - arid if we find in them a
friend, well, if not then we will -do the
next best to' secure those rights that be
long to the farmer.
Our motto is not to divide but to unite
our interests, both socially and politically.
It has been said that the average farmer
is not capable of managing the political
affairs of the county, I will say that I
have been in a good many conventions
but must say that I never met with any
body of more intelligent men than the
forty delegates that composed the county
alliance that met in this county on the
20th of this mouth. They were leading
men of both political parties, they speak
well for our cause in the future. The
business of the convention was harmon
ious, and was of vital importance to the
order. We will push the work in this
county and elsewhere, until we are satis
fied that we can hold our own against
those that think the laboring classes
have no rights that a capitalist is bound
to respect. With good will to all, I re
main yours. B. F. Bohnbv,-
Organizer.
A "Third House" Member Protests. .
Th Dalles, Feb. 25. 1891.
Editor Dalles Chronicle :
In a letter from The Dalles published
in the Oregonian of the 20th inst. signed
"II." is a wail against the constituents
of members of the legislature going to
the capitol to see after the legislation
that therir necessities require. I am
sorry indeed that poor 'H." should feel
so chafed because bis constituents would
not allow him to misrepresent them
without entering their protest against
his action. Now Mr. "H." knows very
well that iri his action on the city char
ter bill and also on the water bill he
completely ignored the wishes of the city
council, the board of water commission
ers, The Dalles board of trade and nine
teenth of the property holders of this
city, without any warrant for doing so
whatever, except to serve the dictation
of a few individuals, he is always ready
to serve.. ..'Tis a pity indeed that he
could not be allowed to do all this with
out being annoyed by, the protest of his
constituents.-

following speech in its favor : They
were brave words from a brave man :,
"Anything, Mr. Speaker, which can
be done in reason to increase the num
ber of our fertile fields ; anything which
in reason can be done to increase the

them and they pay me well,' will ever
receive my most cheerful support.
From him directly or through other's

After a tough three hours' struggle
with death John Opfer eame oat ahead,
and he was full of joy. Opfer is an em
ploye of the West Jersey Ferry com
pany, and ia fond of skating. He was
enjoying this exhilarating sport on the
Delaware at the head of Third street,
between the Camden shore and Petty 'a
island, Saturday, when he struck a weak
spot in the ice and broke through. The
current dragged him down and he be
came benumbed.
When he arose to the surface Opfer
was in the midst of the broken ice float
ing rapidly up stream, and he made a
frantic effort to save himself. He seized
several cakes of ice, but they Bank un
der his weight and sent him again and
again beneath the surface. He cried
loudly for help, but he was' so far from
either shore and the floating ice was so
heavy that no one dared to attempt his
rescue.
At last Opfer,. his strength almost
gone, managed to climb upon an ice floe,
where he fell exhausted. His struggles
had been witnessed by two men on Pot
ty's island, and. as the floe drifted up
toward the point they, pushed off in
their, boat at the risk of their own lives,
and pulled the unconscious Opfer off the
ice. .........
After a hard fight the boatmen man
aged to make the island again, and they
carried Opfer . into the-: little dwelling
house that stands there. He had been
struggling with ice for an - hour, and
gave no sign of life when efforts to re
suscitate him .began. ' After two hours'
hard work, however, Opfer opened his
eyes, and at last was brought . out of
death's grasp entirely. - '. . . -.
'1 thought I was goner, sure
enough," said Opfer yesterday, "when I
found myself banging away at those
cakes of ice. Geerozalum, but I was
cold! Then all of a sudden I got warm
and cozy and settled down for a nap.
My! but it was nice till those men on the
island woke, me up." Philadelphia

One of the last of Napoleon's veterans,
and naturally one of the very few sur
vivors among the officers of the Grand
Annee, has celebrated his ninety
seventh birthday in his retreat at
Herblay, on the banks of the Seine.
M. Souffiot, who is extremely popu
lar in that part of the country,
loves to fight his battles over again. He
took part in the campaigns of 1813 and
the three following years, and before Na
poleon went to Elba he was promoted to
the rank of captain.
He was a stanch imperialist, and after
the downfall of his hero he refused to
serve under any other regime,- and was
put upon half pay, bnt he emerged for a
short time from his retirement to com
mand a squadron of lancers of the Old
Guard at Waterloo. After the final col
lapse of the emperor be left the army for
good, at the age of 22, and spent the fol
lowing half century of his life in civil
employment. He then ' 'pitched his tent,"
to use his own expression, at Herblay,
where he is held in high esteem for his
many acts of kindness. M. Souffiot is
said to be' the doyen of the members of
the Legion of Honor. London Tele

Old Church Records Recovered.
Ex-Governor Charles H. Bell has re
stored to the First Congregational church
of Exeter, N. H., a valuable record book,
discovered by him in the shop of a local
dealer in antiquities. It is a small man
uscript volume containing a record of
the 727 baptisms administered by the
Rev. Woodbridge Odlin between Sept.
28, 1743. and Oct. 30. 1763. The book
also contains a few miscellaneous items,
of which this is the most important:
"NovV 18, 1755. About four o'clock
in ye morning there was a smart shocke
of an earthquake, which was followed
with several smaller ahockes, to the
great surprise of many. God grant yt
ye impressions yt were made upon ye
minde of many might be abiding."
- - The handwriting is handsome and
very legible, and the book is remarkably
well preserved. It fills an important gap
in the early records of the church, whose
age is coincident with that of the town.

Tracing MJssant Mail.
The postmaster of Philadelphia has
invented a device whereby he expects to
be able to trace missent and delayed
mail matter. It consists of a small
stamp to be worn on the thumb of a
sorter. It is an automatic inker, and
every time a letter passes through his
hands for sorting the mere act of hand
ling it will put on it a postmark. If
each clerk has a number that number
will go with the stamp, and a delayed or
missent letter will be traceable thereby
direct to the actual blunderer. In bis
.own office Mr. Field is getting his patent
into use, and if it works as expected it ia
probable the whole service will adopt it.
While it will be somewhat of a nuisance
in some respects, it will be . welcome to
efficient sorters, as it will protect inno
cent men from being credited with the
blunders of others. Interview in SL

ger of strangling to death. . Her false
teeth were nowhere to be found, and a
doctor was at once called. The physi
cian found the case grave enough to call
in counsel, and the only way to save
Miss Perry's life seemed by the opera
