' The cause of the delay of the local

of Rowena.

Mr. Saltmarshe dislocated his arm
yesterday, by falling, while chasing a

to do and he pulled the bones in place
again. This morning, barring a sore

Last Saturday night a large deer came

A report is current that Stacy Shown
was instantly killed by being thrown
from a horse and breaking his neck, at
Seattle. It is quite positive the report
is an error, since no news of such "a na

Mr. C. J. Crandall left for Hood River
this morning. Hood River is to have a
fine school building erected this year,
and Mr. Crandall, who is the architect
for this county, has gone down to that

plans, etc.
Some small-minded and criminally

they return the Stolen property.

It is thought it was formerly a pappoose.
No. 1 has not yet arrived, nor .can it
arrive before tomorrow at least. The
cause of the delay is a heavy washout in
Idaho. The train has not passed the

the train reaches it.

We are having high winds and very
disagreeable weather.-
The enow has all left us, going off
with a heavy rain, causing high waters
and much mud.
Sheep shearing crowds are already
organizing for the , spring shearing but
expect a fail in price of wages.
Although a great many sold their hogs
from this locality on foot last fall still
we have eight or ten tons of bacon cured
here which will be put on the market in
the spring.
Stock all look fine, a large number
having wintered on the range without
any care. ' Even hogs have come through
the. winter without, having been fed a
grain of wheat and look well. This fact
accounts for the prosperity of the farmers
of this locality, notwithstanding they
seem to be so far from market.
I see by your last paper that the
sheriff intends to try and force collection
of taxes. This, it seems, is a verv un
wise act,. as there is not enough money
in the county outside of The Dalles
even if it was distributed among the
farmers" to pay their taxes, and to sell
our property under the hammer means
ruination tf ainy, and the question
arises, whd,ia3 the money to bid in
these tax sales that will do it? "As I un
derstand the law, a person has one year
to redeem his property and the - pur
chaser would only be loaning out his
money until that time. If there is not
enough money with the county- treasurer
to pay off the outstanding warrants, the
holders 'or them are compelled to wait
until there is money to pay them with,
and if we are compelled to wait on .the
county, why not the county wait on as
until we have- had a chance and oppor
tunity to raise it in the spring. This
will not injure anyone and help all to
ride over- the hard times which none of
us could help. If there is no other way
we bad better run our present sheriff for
a second term. ' " "'-'

A WAMIC SCHEME.
A Good Thins; to Hug, If it Is Only a
. . rHaajtom.
Wamic. Or.. Mar. 12. 1894.
In these hard times made harder
still by the tax-eatherer's vellnw mia
sives, bearing on their face a message
wnictj "doth provoke grief and conster
nation" the taxpayer is forced to think.
and to think of ways to lessen the tax
and, it 'twere possible, to avoid it al
together.
While in this mood ye writer dropped
on to a scheme, which, with patience
and fair management,, promises this
long-wished-for result. This little, in
nocent, newly-formed and unchristenerl
child of my brain I lay unwashed, as he
is, Detore you. Here he is :
Suppose that the county of Wasco, as
a county, should at some convenient
time issue 8 per cent . bonds for the
amount of $200,000, and with the pro
ceeds construct an electric railroad from
The Dalles to White River Falls, dis
tance 35 miles.. Look at the map of
Oregon and you will see that the trade
will be very great. All of the wheat,
hogs, wool, beef cattle, etc., for a vast
inland region will be tapped.- It costs
only about one-half as much per mile to
build and equip electric roads as if. does
to . build the old-fashioned steam cower
roads. The careful economist, who cares
to study the question, will conclude
that this electric road will earn enough
in ten years to pay off the bonds, inter-
Olf cn1 oil Tl.. C .-5 J... .

used to pay the expenses of the county
government and to pay each citizen's
state tax.. .
This is a pleasing hope ; perhaps only
an liiusive pbantom of hope. Let's hug
it a while, anyway. F. S. G.

GOOD. NEWS.
Kven at
Time When There Is
Plethora of It. ,
Mr. A. M. Kelsay returned this morn
ing from Antelope, and gives the-most
encouraging news from that precinct,
even at a time when encouraging news
is. somewhat at a discount by reason of
the supply. He states that there is but
one democrat left at Antelope and he is
at ' the mourner's bench. The most
prominent neophyte is Mr. A. Keating,
a democratic patriarch of Virginia for
long years. At a recent mass meeting
he recounted his long connection with
the party, and said that. 'or the few remaining-
years of his life he proposed to
work with the people among' whom he
was situated and in the country where
he gained his - livlihood, and would
henceforth vote with them. The
old gentleman was greeted with a
storm of applause. Among the
most prominent young republican:
workers is Bro. E. M. Shutt, of the
Herald, who is running a 'sprightly
country newspaper at Antelope, which
is eagerjy looked for on publication day
each week. .The republican club just
organized at Antelope begins with a
membership of 62, which will be in
creased to 100 before it is two weeks old.
Mr. C. V. Lane .was elected president,
Wilbur" Bolton vice president, E. M.
Shntt secretary, Frank Irving treasurer,
and E. C. Dickinson sergeant-at-arms.
