WASCO COUNTIAN '
Makes Observations Concerning Various
Matter Abroad.
MaCHAXicsviLLE, la., Jan. 10, 1894.
Editor Chkonicle: I want to tell
your readers something about our trip
from The Dalles to this place and about
the country here.
We had 'a nice railroad trip. After
leaving La Grande we were anticipating
a blockade in the mountains by snow,
as the air grew thicker and more dense
with the "beautiful," but we were
agreeably surprised to find that there
was no more snow farther east than at
La Grande. We found only two faults
with the trip. The first was, the points
we wished to see most were passed in
the night, and the other was, the car
was almost unbearably hot all the way
to Omaha, where they had a nice porter
who had a more regular system of man
agement.
We passed the Ames monument in
Wyoming in the night. We wanted to
see the place more from Mr. McGuffey
having christened the Eskimo baby
there than from any particular interest
in the place itself.
We didn't have to make any changes
in trains from The Dalles to Cedar
Rapids, where we left the overland flyer
to board a local to Mechanicsville. We
traveled through Nebraska at the rate
of forty-five miles an hour. The coun
try along the North Platte is as Wash
ington Irving describes it in "Astoria,"
very level and almost treeless. The
Platte river cannot be navigated on ac
count of its shallow water. The coun
try is noted for the great amount of
wild hay grown, and its numerous herds
of cattle and horses now, where fifty
years ago -there were as many buffalo
roaming the plains of Nebraska. I
would not care to .live in Nebraska,
where not a hill, cliff or crag meets the
eye in any direction to break the mo
notony of the everlasting plains. Give
me Oregon, the grand old state of my
nativity, with its fertile fields, its for
ests of fir, pine, hemlock and ceder, its
picturesque scenery, its mild climate.
and all its benefits, against any country
I have ever seen. I love the wild west,
and am .contented with my "ain coun
trie." One thing, however I will say in
favor of Iowa. This part of the country
where we now are is like the country
between the Klickitat hills and Simcoes,
only more extensive, rolling prairies,
dotted here and there with groves of
hickory, oak and maple, and here and
there groves of evergreens, which were
planted and are doing well. I believe
at some time in the far past this whole
country was a forest, but that in some
of Nature's wars was destroyed. The
evergreens are easily grown and take to
the climate kindly, showing that the
soil and climate are adapted to their
growth.
The farmers here raise everything on
the farm except groceries. This is the
secret of their success, and it would be
well for Wasco county farmers to, as
Cap'n Cuttle in Dickens so often re
marked, "when found make a note
on't." I have often known the farmers
of Wasco county to buy -their butter.
bacon and potatoes for winter use, when
they should raise these articles on the
farm, and at all times of the year have
something to sell, instead of always
buying, and always and forever in debt.
Here the principal commodity is hogs
and corn. I saw yesterday a herd of
hogs of about 150 ready for the Chicago
market, which averaged 400 lbs. each,
and a good many that weighed 800 lbs,
Here the farmers' grind their corn and
cook it by steam, making a mush for
hogs. Every day now we see hog
wagons passing taking droves to market,
Pork is $5.05 per hundred. In a few
days there is to be a big hog hauling by
one man of thirty-three wagons. The
people in - this vicinity do not raise
much fruit. Wild plums, grape's and
cherries grow in. abundance, but this
year the apple crop was not. very large,
either in quality or quantity. I wish I
had brought some Oregon apples.
This is an old settled - country and
been farmed a long time, so I think
that when Eastern Oregon, has been
tilled as long, it will be as wealthy, too
Even now it is not to be "sneezed at.'
If only the farmers would study the
best way to make every "lick counte,
they would succeed better I believe
from observations I have made.
I must close for the present.

A Bad Road.
Mr. W. K. Cantrell
in town today, says
of Dufur, who is
the roads are in
worse shape than
he has seen them in
twenty years. . Between 8-Mile and the
top of 10-Mile hill the road is especially
bad, being now almost impassable. He
strongly advocates using crushed rock
between these points and Says that
many of his neighbors are of the same
mind. The Chkonicle has been a
warm supporter of the policy of making
this a good road, for. the reason that it
will increase the trade between the city
and the country, benefitting both. It
will enable Jhe farmer to realize better
prices for his products, and at a time
when he can best spare the time for
hauling them to market.

POUNDED THE DOG TO DEATH.
How a Monkey Made Good Use of a Billy
Like a Policeman's Club.
"The most novel fight I ever wit
nessed," remarked a traveler to a
writer for the Cincinnati Enquirer,
"was between a bulldog and a monkey,
down in Cuba. A friend of mine had a
bulldog that had licked every canine
on the island, and he was very proud
of him. A gentleman from South
America said that he had a monkey
that could whip the bulldog and the
owner of the latter laughed at the idea,
After some talk a wager of five hundred
dollars was made and the only advan
tage that the monkey was to have was
that he was to be allowed the privilege
of using a baton, about the length of a
policeman's club, but not so heavy.
The fight was in a public place, and in.
a pit that was surrounded by an iron
grating. There was a big crowd out
to see the fight. Of course everybody
thought the dog would chew up the
monkey. After a few minutes, how
ever, the audience was. surprised at
the sagacity displayed by the monkey.
The bulldog would make a rush
at the monkey, and the latter would
jump aside and allow the bulldog
to hit his head against the iron
gratings. This was kept up for twenty
minutes or more, and then the dog be
gan to get tir6d. The monkey began
to fight. He would let the dog make a
rush and then jump on the dog's back
and strike him several times with the
baton. This was kept up for an hour
or more, and finally the dog fell on the
floor completely exhausted, and the
monkey actually pounded him to death.
The monkey would strike the dog sev
eral blows and then place his ear to
the canine to see. if he still breathed,
Finally the owner of the dpg agreed to
give up the fight, but the owner of the
monkey told him that he" was too late,
as the monkey would not quit until he
had killed the dog. This was one
of the peculiarities of the monkey,
They always kill their victims. The
owner of the dog said he did not want
his dog killed, and insisted on taking
the monkey off. While they were talk
ing the monkey belted' the dog several
times with his baton, placed his ear on
the dog, and with a sudden jump
leaped on the shoulder of his owner
and commenced to use monkey lan
guage. The dog was examined and
found to be dead. The people ap
plauded the victory of the monkey,
and it looked as if the monkey under
stood it."

THE S WINK AND THE FLOWKR.
I shrank to meet a mud-encrusted swjne.
And then beseemed to grant, In accents rude,
"Huh! Be not proud, for in this fat of mine.
Behold the source of richness for your food!"
I fled, and saw a field that seemed, at first,
One giant mass of roses pure aud white,
With dewy buds "mid dark green foliage nursed,
And, as I lingered o'er this lovely sight.
The summer breeze, that cooled that southern
scene .
Whispered, "Behold the source of Cottolene!"

HORSEPLAY IN ENGLISH SOCIETY
Coarse Joke and Risky Dancing Being; In
dulged In by Smart Girls. -
Skirt dancing, high play and the per
petration of practical jokes seem to be
the leading amusements of country
house parties in England, according to
a recent chronicler quoted by the San
Francisco Argonaut. He says: ''No
vember is preeminently the month for
big shoots, and - the country houses
are full to overflowing at that time
of the year. In quiet houses mod
erate hours are , kept, gambling
for heavy stakes is at a discount
and a certain sobriety prevails from
sunrise to sundown. In other houses,
however, the fun waxes fast and fu
rious. No dancing is considered 'sport'
unless it be of a nature imported from
the Gaiety, such as the unforgettable
pas de quatre. A few smart girls go
so far as to take unto themselves the
voluminous skirts of the serpentine
frock and try to imitate Miss Lettie
Lind's dexterities," After explaining
that the serpentine skirts are made of
"no less than a .hundred yards of the
very finest Chinese silk or crepe cut in
triangular pieces to give the appear
ance of an infinity of yards," our au
thority resumes: "It is regrettable to
add that under some roofs pretty heavy
gambling is indulged in, and baccarat
and nap with high stakes have as
many women as men ' votaries, to say
nothing of practical joking of a sus
piciously rowdy sort, such as apple-pie
bed-making booby-trapping. A certain
most distinguished lady amused her
self one whole evening by standing in
a gallery and throwing pillows on the
men's heads as they passed in and out
of the smoking-room."
