Manitoba German Farmers Want Farms
in Oregon.
The following letter received today
needs no explanation :
Portland, Or., March 6, 1894.
Editor Chronicle, The Dalles, Or. :
Dear Sir A great number of German
families, who are dissatisfied with, their
present situation in Manitoba, and the
Northwest territories, desire to find a
location in our 'state, and have asked
me to assist them to that end. Believ
ing that Wasco county is a desirable
place, especially as far as climate and
soil are concerned, and also believing
that you, your city and the whole coun
ty would profit considerably by the ex
tensive immigration of sober and indus
trious people, I would respectfully ask
the favor to make this known through
your paper, and ask those within your
reach who have farms or farm lands for
sale, to send to my address as below de
scription, price and terms. Such offers
only which I think are bargains will be
considered. I am, sir, yours very re
spectfully,

Foster and the Fire.
The numerous friends' of Ben Foster,
the New York artist, will sincerely re
gret to learn of this,' his second burn-out
within a year. The first occurred last
summer while be was at Buzzards Bay
replenishing bis portfolio with marines.
The loss at that time was almost the
entire contents of his studio, though
fortunately he had a pretty good insur
ance. JWhen he returned to New York
he fitted up a new studio in one of the
fire-proof buildings on Fifty-ninth street,
diagonally opposite Cornelius Vander-
bilt's new residence. With the new sur
roundings he seems to have put on a
new activity. Competent judges say he
has done some of his best work here
While he was absent from the city the
fire-proof building was gutted 'by fire
and all Foster's effects were destroyed
or ruined, among which were two pic
tures he was -preparing for the spring
exhibition, and which were more am
bitious, and his artist friends say more
successful than any he had hitherto at
tempted. Not ' a dollar of insurance.
He delayed taking out a policy because
when he went into the . new studio he
had very little and supposed the build'
ing fire-proof, and so felt safe.
Foster is a plucky fellow, and not
withstanding this severe loss at a time
when he is doing the best work of his
life, there's lots of good things to come
yet, . or we are' not a true judge or
prophet. He has our deep sympathy,
all the same..
A Congressional Aspirant.
Hon. John C. Leasure, of Pendleton,
arrived in the city this morning, and
while shaking hands with numerous
friends, made The Chronicle a fraternal
call. Mr. Leasure is one of Eastern Ore
gon's favorite sons, . and as one of his
friends asserts, '.'is a self-made man
who does not worship his creator."
His business in Wasco county at this
time is avowedly political, as he is
prominently mentioned as a republican
candidate for congress to succeed Ellis.
He claims that Umatilla, Crook and Ba
ker counties will support him solidly,
and hopes that the remaining counties
in the district will unite for him merely
for the purpose of making the sentiment
unanimous. He says, . however, that, if
his nomination would endanger the sue
cess of the republican party, he is will
ing to step down and will support the
next man, for he is desirous that the re
publicans win a sweeping victory in
June. As far as his county is concerned,
he says, many democrats are changing
their politics, and republicans who went
out are coming back again. He consid
ered that the populists were of small im
portance numerically. He believes all
the republican conventions will be har
monious and that the state will go. sol
idly republican.

It is a very interesting sight to see the
new rails which have been received here
for the re-construction of the roadbed
between The Dalles and Portland being
bent to lit the sharp curves' which are so
numerous on this part of the railroad.
These new rails are verv much heavier
than the ones now in nse and would
tear up the spikes which held them in
place unless they were bent to conform
with the curves before being put down
One of the company's strongest freight
engines, in charge of Engineer Nickell,
has been engaged in this work at the
depot since yesterday morning, and
quite an exhibition of the power of the
iron horse is given when it draws one of
these rails through the device which
bends them.

The Crocodile and Its Terrible Destruc
tion of Human Life.
With regard to the utility of the
crocodile there are diverse opinions.
It is certainly., a scavenger, though,
when the rapid currents of most rivers
are taken-into consideration, the im
portance of his mission dwindles. . The
author of "In the Morambala Marsh
says that along the banks of African
streams it is dangerous to approach
the river-edge. Water for domestic
purposes is obtained from the top of
the banks by means of a cup attached
to a bamboo pole twenty or thirty feet
m length, and in spite of these precavi
tions the death-roll is a most ghastly
one. '
The primitive dugouts used by the
natives for traveling on the rivers are
m many cases merely death-traps.
While the man is paddling along, bare-.
ly two inches above the surface-of the
river, the crocodile seizes his hand and
drags him to the bottom.
On one occasion I sent down some
letters by a Hindoo merchant, and a
few weeks later heard that both letters
and postman had been devoured by
crocodiles. At another time 1 was
strolling along the bank, and hearing
cries, arrived at the water s edge m
time to seize a young boy whose leg
had been caught by one of these brutes
and torn from him. He escaped with
his life, thanks to my timely arrival,
In some places one sees thousands of
crocodiles on a mndbank, most of them
scarcely two inches in length, evident
ly just hatched- A week does not pass
but in some river village waits and lam
entations are heard for a fresh vic
tim to the crocodile's insatiable appe
tite.
When Baby was sick, -we gave her Castoria.
When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria.
When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria.
When she had Children, she gave them Castoria.
