Ed(tqr Chboj.'iclb Few o.f fhe people
signis of a Climatic change which has been
gradually but surely taking place. Ten
or fifteen years ago a man riding through
the country in the spring would mire
almost anywhere off the beaten road,
but for the past five years this has i been
an. experience unknown. Springs are
failing. Many of the strongestjjwrhere
large herds of etoefc. formerly watered,
nqv hardly, affocd water, for a .'span, .of
work horses. Crop ' failures were un
known. ,for the i first J twenty-five years-
after the country was settled.' The pres
ent season would have been a niqi 'com
plete failure than tbe one two years .ago
had it not been for the.: extraordinary
June rains. Another unmistakable
proof that there is Jess rain fall now
than formerly is the fact that so great
an amount of the Wests are dying on
the eastern slope of the Cascades.' Two
years ago, Fifteen Mile creek . ceased to
flow billow Dufujr, something previously
unknown to the oldest' settlers. Now
the-
question arises, tan
the- scientists
explain why this change, that, there, is
less raiulall r 1 tlilnk lew ot the observ
ing will deny, and. for .this fact I will no
pretend to brier an explanation but for
the fact that so many Of the springs are
failing I think there is a sufficient and
plain reason. This country is all under
laid with bedrock, in some places- very
near the surface, and again at great
depths. The springs are all fed by sur
face water and, being above bedrock, the
springs which would be effected first, of
course, would be the' ones where the
bedrock comes nearest the surface and
the facts bear out this theory. Now as
to cause. When this country was cov
ered with buAch grass from two to three
feet high tbe ground was rough and very
loose, like a sponge it absorbed and held
all the water which fell. Also the old
grass which covered the ground .with a
mulch from one to two inches in depth
was a protection against frost, so that,
no matter how fast the snow melted or
the rain fell, jt all wen into the ground.
Now note the change and yoq will see
ample cause for the effect or vice versa at
the present time the ground is tramped
solid, smooth and bare byp the countless
thousands of horses and cattle that the
once luxuriant - bunch . grass produced
so that e veil a hard June rain will send
the . water coursing down the ; gulches,
instead of being held to gradually soak
in and feed the springs. .; ' . ' '" '
You may call these the views of a
croaker; .would that iey were no more
than this but facts are stubborn things
audjhave to be looked squarely in the
face and from them,., if possible, we
should learn ' some ' practical lessons.
Tbe soil we have is of the- best quality,
and the water which falls from " heaven
is oui; wealth. Have, you not noticed;
this wealth, flowing off of an unplowed
field, while the- fajlow, ground adjoining
was absorbing every drop to return it to
you in plump cerals of golden grain" at
harvest time. R. G.
Wamic, Or., July 26th 1891.
Editor Chronicle : Allow me through
the column of tbe Chronicle, to answer
a portion of Mr. Chatty's letter of July
the 15th inst.-, in regard to my training
a horse. I will admit that I never asked
him whether I jcould, train my -horse or
not, I did not think ' it was any of his
business. .As for my crpp'snffering at
that date he was correct. It was suf
fering for th want of rain if that wag
what he had reference to, put if he had
reference to my tcrop. suffering from my
neglect, he is simply! a wilful prevarica
tor. '. I think Mr. Chatty was a stranger
traveling through this country, as there

policy and take the cash, they finally instructed me from the home o trice to sand policy and reooLia.
for the amount, $36,496.80, to their State manager in Cleveland, and he would remit me the amount.
