Wamic ltm-
Wamic, Deci 20, 1891,
Editor of the Chronicle :
The stockmen are quite through gath
ering in their stock for the winter and
the majority of them predict a hard
winter. .
Dr. Whitcomb of Dufur! was again
called to Wamic on Dec. 18th, to visit
Mrs. Strickland, who was taken ill quite
suddenly with what seemed to persons
present to be a light stroke of 'paralysis;
The doctor, however, pronounced it con
gestion of the liver. Dr." Whitcomb, by
the success of his profession, has won
the admiration and respect of the people
of Wamic. ' ' - , ; ! '
Ed Driver of Prair'e City is now visit;
ing his iather and brothers of Wamic.
V; As . we ; are ; Americans,' we are for
America. As Oregon is our native state,
we are for Oregon. As we are citi
zens of Wasco county, we are identified
in ner interests ; and as we live in Wamic
we are for home, and we have as good
land and as much of it to the square
mile as any part of Eastern Oregon.
But half of the tillable land is not tilled,
from the fact that we have no market
for it at borne, and the rocky bluffs of
Tjgh intervene between us and our only
market, The Dalles. It is no wonder
people talk of our country not progress
ing. Let me ask this question what
causes a country to progress? What is
progression? ' Webster defines it as ad
vance, to progress, but we may in this
case define it thus? "prosperity, wealth,
development," and before a country can
prosper it must be developed ; and this
ia just what we want something that
will help to unburden our people and
create a market for the products of the
producer. The people of The Dalles
have accomplished a good work, which
is one stroke toward ' the prosperity of
our country, in putting a line of boats on
the river, and the people appreciate
and will sustain them. j
Then excuse yonr humble correspond
ent tor building castles, but if there
were no castles built there would be
none to fall. . We need for thi future
good of our country- a railroad. There
have been railroads projected by rail
road men, but ; nothing of a permanent
nature has yet been done. It takes
capital to build steamboats, to build and
operate railroads, and all these things,
yet all of these are required to open up
and develope a country as it should be
developed. It is plain to be seen that a
railroad is what' the people .of Eastern
Oregon want,' and it is quite i necessary
that .they should - have it, but it is net
necessary that we should have the best
railroad in the world. ,'" '..''.-.
, ..Why, - then, 'should not '. the "people
between JtafuzY and Wapinitia work
a ia mode, the Regulator :td organize
and concentrate capital and build a mo
tor line which' would be 'sufficient to
carry the freight, passengers, mail and
express, which when summed up is no
insignificant affair ? Qr if this cannot
be done, invite capital to take hold of
it. It is something we earnestly need
and every inducement should be thrown
out to secure it. The road would secure
nearlyr jjill the. wool and. . freight traffic
coming by Sherar's Bndgei. .JTygh Valley
.and the- surrounding country . would
double their productions, there would
be an inducement, for .people hunting
land to come here and settle, and our
country would naturally' become richer.

A Farmer's Views. '
- . . .... ,
Wamic, Or., Dec. 20, 1891. .
Editor of the Chronicle:
5You asked me to write a few, lines oc
casionally fo your valuable paper. .. I
will 'try to do so this morning hoping
they may prove-acceptable, jf not con
sign them to the waste basket. I shall
leave it to Uncle Toby to give,. you' the
local news.',. '.- ,: ' iX'it'- i''-'. - '
-1 have been reading a . great deal about
reform, in politics,, put; forth in ; the
farmers', alliance newspapers. I will
admit that we, the 'farmers, heed a re
form in politics from the highest officials
at'Washington to "the lowest precinct
officers in Oregon. But the farmers are
as aach to blame for bringing about
this state of affairs, as the people are
for allowing the politicians to run politi
cal affairs to suit themselves, with
but little opposition. My neighbor saye
"How so? I do not uphold political
Jugglery. ,0 trickery.". V-No, .. brother
farmer, nor "do you do anything to break
if up. -"Oh, yes I have" he says. "I
joined the farmers' alliance for the pur
pose of bringing out a new party and
for the cleansing of the political atmos
phere and to put good honest men in
office that will look after the farmers in
terests, : Wei should have men to repre
sent us "in office"; who will work for; the
farmer and make laws. for "his "benefit:""
Yes, brother, "but we have had too much
class legislation. That is the matter
with us now; "Well, how would you
bring about a reform in politics without
a new party in the field?"' By simply
reforming the old parties. "How in
thunder'would ;you"do that?" ' Let
every'fariner attend the primaries and
see that the tricksters that work in the
interst cf. the county seat rings at the
primaries throughout the different pre
cincts are left at home and good h'onest
men sent in their places as delegates
from each precinct to attend -the conven
tions ; men that canBOt be taken by t the
arm and led to a saloon and .treated a
few times bv the comical count v-seat
ring leader, and' when the convention
meets Mr. Delegate votes "yes"' for' the
county-seat ring' man, tooth and toe nail.
Yes,' brother farmer, let your -delegates
be sober,1 honest men, that will look
after : the best - interests of all and see
that no man gets a nomination for. office
that is not worthy of the office, then : if
they betray their trust, let it be the last
trust you ever confide, to their care politi
cally. Brother farmers, throw your in
fluence in favor of ' purifying the old
parues ana mat innuence win oe leit
and we phall not need any new political
parties. Observer, j
