A Business Man Talk Entertainingly of
That Section.
Ben Brown, a young business man of
Burns, Harney county, says of that sec
lion :
"We are going to have over a- half mil
lion pounds of wool this year, nd that
must be hauled to the O. R. & N. Just
six men or firms own over 100,000 head
of cattle. - There's P. French, -who has
40,000 head, and Miller & Lux, who
have 50,000, and these men own im
mense tracts of land. 'French has 100
000 acres and Miller & Lux have 125,000
acres. And there is plenty more land
to spare in Harney county. Two of the
three heaviest' taxpayers in the county
each pay $6000 on their property, while
the third pays $6500. The raising price
of beef has helped us considerably, and
there are now but 10.000 steers remain
ing to be sold this season.
"The price of wool has, of course, in
jured the sheepman greatly. At the
present time they are not paying ex
penses. Many of them have mortgaged
their sheep, and now that times have
not as yet improved greatly they are go
ing to get into trouble. Few of them
will be able to pay off their mortgages.
"But we'll come out all right in the
end. Wool will rise in price as times
grow better. Then if the Oregon Pacific
were constructed through Southern' Or
egon to an Eastern connection, you
would see a rapid development. There
are hundreds of square miles in the
county yet unoccupied ' and. nntrod by
man. Some of this land needs water
and some does not. It is all fertile, and
irrigation will make it bloom with foliage
and prosperity.

Dld'sts Care m Whoop.
. Yesterday evening just before the boat
came in, a lumber laden scow that had
been anchored near the wharf undertook
to move up the slough to the. foot of
Washington street. Just before she
pulled in her gang plank, oneof the men
employed on her made bis- appearance
and started to get aboard. He had a
new pair of shoes under hisj. arm and
booze enough for a half dozen jags under
his vest. As he struck the boat he fired
one shoe across the scow's bow to bring
her to and the other which was aimed
at the hull struck the water . instead
owing to lack of elevation. Seeing the
stranger bearing down on 'them with his
batteries and knees unlimbered, the
crew -of the ecow were ' hastily "beat
to quarters" to receive him. Before any
of them could get ashore to lend a hand
the stranger struck the gang plank and
plunging heavily ' forward struck bow
on,' throwing the water in a sparkling
shower for many yards. He struggled
out, tackled the gang plank again, sat
down straddle of it. and turning slowly
over hung head down it moment, and then
letting go all holds, went ca-plunk out
of sight, scarcely rippling the surface of
the water as he went in like a flat stone
edgewise, or a frog with a snake after
him. He crawled out, and scorning as
sistance made another stagger at it only
to miss the plank and hit the river for
the third time. Then the bovs on the
scow got him aboard and laid him out on
a pile of lumber. He evidently did not
like the lay out, for in a minute he was
up again and had possessed himself of a
pike pole, and commenced stabbing it in
a friendly way into the broad ' bosom of
the Columbia. The pole would not
reach bottomf so in order to save him
self be let go of it, but in a moment 're
pented, and plunged in after it. Some
of the men ran aft and hooking a pike1
pole into the seat of his overalls they
pulled him on board again. He was - a
persistent fellow thohgb, ' and the last
we saw of him he was lying on his face
with one of the crew eittinar' on him
while the others landed the scow."' We
have seen jags of all degrees, toots of all
kinds,-and even the hilarious Tazzle-
dazze but this was decidedly the most
vermiform drunk we ever beheld.

The forest flowers are beautiful,
lint blossoms of the spring;
The critcus peeping from the earth, "
The violet of lowly birth, , , .
'- And bluebells, that for very mirth - ,
The vagrant breezes swing. , .. . r . . :
Sweet columbines, whose honeycombs
The humming birds have sipped. . .
The buttercups of golden hue,
The Johnny-Jump-ups, deepest blue.
And purple iris fllletr with dew, .
Or cowslips yellow-lipped. :
Yet sweeter far than all of those
The fragrant garden shows,
The dar ing daisies, pink and white,- .
The pansy with its face aligbt
And lilies queenly in tbeir height;
. But queen of all, the rose.
Yes! queen of all, more beautiful
In each and every part,
1 ban any blossom springtime shows.
Than any other fivtwer that blows;
'The pink tipped rose, the red lipped rose,
The queen still of my heart. '

a pair of bloomers. Tom was proud of
his purchase for awhile, but after getting
the opinion of several canine connois

with undue contempt, considering the
amount paid for him. The dog, on the

growing coldness between them running
