Prosperity in Morrow County.
Hki'I-nkh, Or., Dec. 12. No snow of
consequence lias yet fallen in Morrow
county. Gruin and grass never looked
belter at this season that it does now.
Stock of all kinds Is in the beet possible
condition.
Politics is beginning to be discussed
and applicants for tho various county
office uru nulling iu tho field. It is al
most a certainty that the populists will
not nominate a ticket next spring. The
high price for wool and sheep; also hogs
und cattle, and tho prosperous times
that apparently have come to stay, uuder
the accursed gold standard, have com
pletely demoralized the populiiti of
Morrow county.
