A Very High Wind.
A wind of almost cyclonic proportions
blew this morning in the river canyon
below this point.and crossing, blew with
like intensity across the open space on
this side of the Klickitat hills. Mr. J.
A. Anderson, who was driving in a
buggy across the river, says it was the
fiercest wind be ever saw, and reports
fences blown down and other effects of
like nature. The .Regulator encountered
the most turbulent waters, after reach
ing Crate's point, it has ever known,
and was forced to turn back. The lady
passengers became alarmed. - The boat
pitched so fearfully" they could not
maintain a sitting posture : without
holding to the railings. Ahead the river
looked like a' sea of froth, and the waves
seemed to have been propelled and car
ried onwards bodily. There has never
been such a high wind recorded on the
river. After 10 o'clock the wind sub
sided and the boat again left for its usual
down-river trip.

A DIVERSION FROM POLITICS.
low tho Hon Xs Abmed and xtnlned.
by Thoughtless Farmers. '.
Oregox, May 17, 1894.
Editor Chronicle In these times of
political discussion, when each side is
proving from statistics that their solu
tion of the problems capital, labor and
hard times is the correct one ; if their
particular candidate is placed in office
confidence will be restored and prosper
ity sure to follow, while if the other side
gain the victory, the country is ruined;
when the brain is overtaxed trying to
follow each side and find out which is
right, I think a little respite would be
beneficial. I would like to make a few
homespun remarks,' acccording to my
ability (if you will give me space in your
esteemed paper) on a subject which we
can all understand, viz: The Horse
man's obedient servant and faithful
friend. In a newspaper article; intend
ed chiefly for an Agricultural commu
nity, it is not necessary to go into de
tails as to his origin. This we know for
a certainty.y- Our earliest recollections
are vividly associated with that noble.
animal.' In the history of the world
man anl horse seem inseparable com
panions. When we glow with admira-'
tion over the daring exploits of some in
dividual oftimes the quadruped- should
receive his share of the glory, when the
biped asssumes all the honor. Who
can separate the immortal Sheridan
from his gallant charger as he led his
troops from retreat ,to victory. As we
read Sir Walter Scott's "Lady of the
Lake" and follow the adventurous Fitz
James through all fiia dangers, his con
flict with and victory over his noble an
tagonist, Roderic Dhu, the climax of
that admiral pen picture is reached when
he vaults into the saddle of his noble
charger and is carried in triumph to- his
castle at Sterling. When "Marmion"
exposed himself to the wrath of the
offended .Douglas we certainly must ad
mire the noble steed who carried him in
safety through a falling portcullis over a
rising drawbridge. In the famous
"Charge of the Light Brigade," that
will be handed down to posterity
through coming ages, who can separate
man and horse, the one to guide and
both to dare. If I were gifted with the
pen of a ' Dickens or a Stowe I would
show you Schoolmaster S queers and
Slavedriver ' Legrees in every commu
nity. I would paint them in such colors
as to bring a blush to the cheek for the
uncalled-for oppression to which the
noble horse is subjected. I wish to
show th horse as he is. . At some future
time I wish to show the horse as he
should be, and the kind of a horse.
The first six months of a colt's life is
generally pretty comfortable. As he
follows his dam in the pasture what in
nature can surpass the beauty of a well
bred colt as it courses in playful gambol
and seems to spurn the earth it treads
upon? Smith thinks he has the finest
colt in the country and takes Jones out
to see it and tells Robinson all about its
good points and what a horse he will
make. Bye and bye comes . weaning
time. Alas, 'poor colt, I pity you ! He
is separated from bis dam for a few days
until some of his animal spirits subside
and . then- turned out with companions,
many of them older than himself, to for
age as best he can. Quite a change, is
it not? The following winter Jones
takes his family over to see the Smith
family,' and in the course of conversa
tion makes inquiry about that fine colt,
Smith-- scratches' his head and informs
him that he is not doing very well and
wonders what is the matter. Be has
not grown any since, he weaned him.
He takes Jones out to the straw stack
and there stands the colt over by the
fence, his back arched, hair standing on
end, hide drawn tightly over his bones
and covered with scars from the teeth of
his stronger companions. "Jones,
there's that colt, a half Percheron, cost
me $15 ; but you don't catch me paying
such prices again. There is nothing in
horses, any way." Next summer he is
turned out to the timber to pasture, to
be regaled at another straw stack the
following winter. Thus time passes
until, in spite of everything, his vigor
ous constitution brings him up to quite
a horse. It is now time to break him.
After he is brought to the proper consis
tency at the straw stack, so he will be
easily handled, "you know," two or
three men and a good-sized boy provide
themselves with a rope', a noose being
on the end thereof. They succeed in
getting this noose around his neck and
choke him down. He is then haltered
and bridled and the saddle put on him
if he shows much snap. Young Smith
arms his own heels with - great iron
spikes and gets into the saddle. After
the customary maneuvers, he sticks the
spurs into him and the poor colt, in the
agony of terror, plunges and jumps in
vain efforts to unseat his merciless tor
mentor, while old Smith chuckles at the
way that boy an ride a broncho. When
the colt is thoroughly exhausted the har
ness is put on him and he is driven
around hitched up' alongside a steady
horse until he is thoroughly broken.
He is then turned oat to the favorite
straw stack . to, await further torture in
the spring. When the pressure of spring
work arrives he is noosed again, har
nessed and hitched - up to the plow,
when be may plunge a little,, but soon
settles down to pull. His shoulders are
Eoft and soon get galled from sweat and
pressure, but he is worked on day after
day until the galled spots become raw
flesh and blood and matter become en
crushed on his collar.
Thus spring passes, turning him out
when he can go no longer and hitching
him up when he recuperates a little. He
is then sent to the timber, probably to
pasture for the summer, and caught up
again to put on a header wagon and
afterwards in a fou-horse team to haul
grain to market.; The humane driver
provides himself with a pile of rocks be
side him on the seat, and when - the
horse lags he picks up a rock and throws
it at him, and he becomes so expert
with practice that he can drop a rock on
top of the horse's head or on the project
ing point of some exposed bone just to
brighten him up a little. He drives

Deafness Cannot he Cored
By local .applications, as they cannet
reaeh the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only "one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever ;
nine cases out of : ten are caused by
catarrh, -which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
- We'will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (.caused by catanh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.
