' J. B. Nelson, a resident of North Yak
ima, was in the city last night , on his
way home from Dufur, where he has
been undergoing medical treatment from
Dr.- Vanderpool for cancer.' In an inter
view with a Chronicle representative,
Mr. Nelson said that he camped at the
mouth of IiH creek pn the loth. of Sep
tember, 1845, after having crossed the
plains from Missouri. . The only white
persons here at that time were the two
Methodist missionaries,'; Messrs. Waller
and Brewer, who had arrived here the
year before. The only houses here were
a couple of stone shanties built by the
missionaries on the bluff. Mr. Nelson
made his way down - the river and
camped on the bank of the .Willamette
where Portland npw stands. Not a sin
gle claim had yet been , taken up at that
place.. . Mr.; Nelson admired the loca
tion but could not think , of stopping
where there -was not a white man nearer
! than Oregoji City.' At this latter place
Mr. Nelson ..stayed Tor a - time ; and at
other places further south till 1859j(vhen
his health .failed " and he moved to
Eastern Washington and became ' the
first whfte 'settler in Yakima 'county
Mr. . Nelson is now in his 75th year
but is quite vigorous for his age. He is
a fine conversationalist, possesses a
remarkable memory and a large fund of
interesting pioneer . reminisences and
information.- ; " ." -;- c-'r- .'--- -' '-:

Col. T. S. Lang read a most interest
ing . paper last , night to a small but
highly appreciative audience on the sub
ject of irrigation, as it relates, more
especially., to the. to Eastern Qregon and
to our own county.. ,:For ..neariyi; eight
months the Colonel, has been collecting
data to' be submitted-to congress by
Senator Dolph. showinsr what it is dos-
Bible to accomplish in the way .of irri
gation ; in Eastern Oregon by a reason
able appropriation uidiciouslv expended.
The paper real last night was illustrated
by a large chart which indicated all the
elevations and depressipns in the sur
face of the Eastern Orecron section "with
all the available sources of suppjy. for
irrigating-purposes. The Colonel called
especial attention to the immense' hndir
of fine agricultural land that might
easily be transformed into a paradise' for
farmers by tapping that fine body of
water known as Clear lake in this
county. - -
- Hampton Kellv. of Wapinitia noticed
last year a tuft of stranee lookine crass
growing in his orchard. The marked
peculiarity of it was that it kept green
all summer and all winter, maintaining
its greenness after it had gone to seed.
The bunch has now spread until it is
about three feet in diamater, and the
seed blown off last year , has sprouted
and is growinz. vurorouelv. The 'old
grass stands about eighteen inches high.
Some of it was cut in February and
given to cattle and it was eaten raven
ously, No one who has ever - seen it
knows what kind of grass it is, but Mr.
Kelly Has bright hopes that it may yet
be found to fill the long felt want of
Eastern Oregon for a grass that will
stand the summer drought. Mr. Kelly
BaVS he WOIlld not IaVa t.V)Tt tnr srhof Va

George Rowland vouches tor the truth
of the following story of a brick flue and
a lost stove lid. The flue in question
was built by Henry Whitmore in Mr.
Rowland's new house and is probably
not a whit better than hundreds of others
that now stand in The Dalles as a mon
ument to Mr. Whitmore's skill. Some
time after the cook stove was set in place
one of the lids was lost and all efforts to
find it were unavailing till one day
George had occasion, to take down' the
stove pipe when he was surprised to
find the lost lid tightly wedged, in the
pipe where it had been sucked up by
the draught in the flue ! ' " - v

Fined in Cigars for the Crowd.
An amusing "ease1' came before the
recorder this morning. Charley Haight
recently put up a new shed on the west
side of his building and after it" was
handsomely painted he tacked a card in
front warning the public to "post no
bills." Yesterday the whole front-of
the shed was found covered with a mis
cellaneous collection of patent medicine
and tobacco advertisements. . Engineer
George Brown was charged with, the
crime and a warrant? was issued for his
arrest; and duly served on. him , this
morping by Marshal Gibons. When the
"case" came up in court, Charley Haight
and Dick Fulton, on behalf of the prose
cution, "sworeV point blank that they
had seen George Brown, the defendent,
tack up a number of bills and posters on
the shed referred to in the indictment.
Then the prosecution rested" and the
"prisoner' was asked if he wished to
make a statement on his own behalf.
He replied curtly: "I don't have. to.'!
"True enough, you don't have to," said
his honor. "It is entirely at your own
pleasure."' "Then I don't please" re?
torted the prisoner, "Then," solemly
responded the recorder, . :1t remains
with me to pronounce the judgment- of
this court. : You; George. Brown, have
been charged with feloniously and mal
iciously posting patent medicine- cards
on the wall of Charley Haight's shed
contrary to the ordinance in such case
made and provided. Two witness have.
testified that they saw you do the deed.-
You have refused to answer in vour own
defense and the court can draw no other
conclusion than that you refuse because
you have no answer to make. The sen
tence of the court. Ss that you set the
cigars up for the crowd." "I. appeal to
the supreme court" exclaimed the pris
oner. "There is no appeal from this
court," said the ; recorder severely. "I
am bust," groaned the prisoner. "I'll
lend you a dollar,", answered the rer
corder. -. The dollar was handed out and
the company adjourned to the "nearest
cigar store. -- - '-

How Anelent Builders Built.'
' The builders of Babel built well.-Tradition
relates that it was only a confu
sion of tongues that checked their aspi
ration. There can be no doubt that the
foundations of the celebrated tower that
was designed by its architect to reach
"heaven" were of the broadest and heav
iest sort; let us say vast walls of the
most solid granite, bound and knit to-.
getner by that most exoeuent insoluble
cement that is one of the lost arts to
modem; .constructionists. Yet if latter
day engineers be not hopelessly in error
with, concern to the conclusions they
have "drawn as respects' ancient ma
sonry from the ruins of ancient struc
tures, ancient builders counted - only on
the law of gravitation, which they knew
in an empiric way, for the safety-of the
works they wrought. ,, The projector. of
the Nag-on-Wat,, whose waUi'-andijfoof
might have sheltered a St. Peter's and a
St. Paul's and still have had' room for a
building like the Equitable in Broadway
within its vast; inclosores,' would never
dream of setting his masons to begin the
laying of his walls say at about fifty feet
from the ground. Harper's Weekly.
