Joaquin Miller has written some
poems laudatory of the Uoers, and ex
pressing extreme rhythmic vituperation
of England. And yet it was chiefly
through the English people thivt Joaquin
Miller acquired fume and fortune, They
took him up when ho wus un almost un
known rhymester and showered him
with benefits. Hence his abuse of
England seems to smack strongly of
baso ingratitude. Telegram.

Some one, who has no doubt had con
siderable experience in handling horses,
gives tho following advice about saving
them from the flames when the barn Is
on lire: "It is almost Impossible to
drag out your horses except you first
blindfold them, us many owners know to
their cost.wlmt a mad Instinct the dumb
brutes have to rush Into the flames.
Throw a hemp bag or horse cover or un
old piece of carpet over their heads,
covering their eyes to eriield them from
the light, and the rnoet excited animal
will quiet down as docile as a lamb and
let you lead him out of danger."
Undorbtedly people in Kansas have
heard about our glorious country and
the many advantages we have over the
above mentioned state, for every week
or so we receive letters from parties in
the East asking for all Borts of informa
tion relative to Waeeo county. From
ull indications we may expect a good
many new settlers this epring, and right
glad we are to Imve them. The follow
ing is a part of a communication we re
ceived this morning from a man living
in Johnson county, Kansas : "Would
you bu so kind as to send me a sample
cjpy of your paper, so I may see from
your own daily and weekly news, the
real truth of your glo.ious country. I
expect to go to that part of the country
this spring and should like a good farm

The water commissioners met in tho

and by u unanimous vote of the board
decided to issue bonds to the amount of
$25,000 instead of $20,000. The bids for
the bouds were 6peued nnd read, uftct
which the meeting adjourned until 2
o'clock this afternoon. At today's meet

A very amusing incident occurred
early this morning at tiie barracks of the
Salvation Army which are situated
nearly ucross the street from Tim
CiiuoNici.K office, consequently the re
porter could uot help from being an eye
witness to what happened. A wedding
supper had been served the previous
evening and this morning there was
quite a lot of choice viands remaining.
A tramp happening along opened the
door und stepping inside found that he
was alone, with a Bpread that had uot
been his good fortune to set dowu to for
many a day. Satisfying his hunger, ho
came out und beckoning to a comrudo,
who was near the railroad invited him
to tho feast. lie like the former hobo
ate alone, and when finding he could uot
stow nwuy ull the edibles hunted up a
chum und ushered him to the haven of
good fortune. Wo were called away, so
consequently do uot know how many ac
cepted the hospitality, of the open door
and no host or hostess, but to our certain
knowledge four men left the festal biard
with u degree of satisfaction that they
had fared far better than their fellow
companions who were satisfied with n

On board Southern Pacific.
KniTon CiiRo.Nim.K :
1 need not toll you, nor your readers,
that tho most difficult thing in the world
is to tear ono's self away fiom news
paper people. One is rJfd enouh, but
when it cornea to twenty in one car it is
well nigh impossible. But just now,
whllo they are gazing out of the car
window at tho adobe huts and their in
habitants and wondering if even a news
paper man could exist in this desert, I'll
shut myself up in the drawing room ifor
none of us can afford to stay in here
long) and tell yon just, a little of how it
all happened, for I could not tell half,
nor would you want to hear it. Indeed,
If anyone can tell half of what is Been on
a trip over the Southern Pac'fic and
Sunset routes, they must need be well,
slightly more gifted than yours truly.
Since leaving Portland Saturday night
we have been craning our necks until a
giraffe isn't in it with our appearance.
It is not necessary to speak cf Southern
Oregon's part in the panorama wc have
past through ; everything in regard to
that state, of which we grew prouder re
we passed, is taken for granted, for who
has not heard of the grandeur of Oregon,
and you should pats through Arizona
and New Mexico to fully appreciate it ;
but every desert has its oases would be
applicable to the Southern Pacific route,
aud even that desert has hid it inter
esting points since we struck it last
night. Upon reaching the California
line we began to look ubuut for new
scenes, and we found them. In the
presence of Ofegonians, however, Shasta
veiled his face, but could not cover one
iota ot tiie beauties which lay at bis feet
nor shut out one ray of the golden sun
set which met our gaze Sunday evening,
revealing the significance of the name
"Sunset route."
Reaching San Francisco early Monday
morning we determined to look up
every "item" und if possible get a
Ecoop, so after decking ourselves in
violets, which Beenied to lino every coi
ner, we sallied fortli for the park, Cliff
house and other resorts of the "tourist,"
only returning in time to take the boat
for Oakland at 5:30, for we left ut 0:15.
So eager were we to miss not a Eight to
be seen, that we no doubt missed much
which was in store for us, for, not con
tent with the seemingly limitless gen
erosity and thoughtfulnees he had
showered us with at Portland, C. H.
Murkham, of the Southern Pacific, had
telegraphed Asst. Passenger Agent Jack
son to show us the sights of tho city;
but we were not to be found high nor
low, which experience in regard to news
paper people was probably a new one to
him or any other transportation agent.
However, this time, we will take the
will for the deed, and never miss an op
portunity to say a word in favor of the
route which lias afforded us so much
pleasure.
In order to reach New Orleans at the
date set, we wero compelled to foieo the
much desired visit in Los Angeles which
we reached ut 1 o'clock Tuesday after
noon. We, therefore, caught but a
glimpse of the beautiful city und its at
tractions for visitors as we remained but
a half hour. We were recompensed,
however, by the view which greeted us
continually during tho afternoon, as we
rode past acres upon acres of orange
orchards and saw trees loaded with the
luscious yellow fruit, while up to this
time many of us had nevei seen in
larger quantities than a small shipment
to local dealers. We seemed to never
grow weary of watching the beauty of
the groves filled with them, and it was
amusing to see tho golden hue of the
car after it left Pomona, where every
pencil pusher pushed through the crowd
to got u baeket containing two dozen
large oranges for 25 cents. Then, too,
we caught ft passing glance at Sail
Gabriel nileslon which wo atouce recog
nized from the numerous views every
where to bo seen, aud all at once de
cided to more thoroughly investigate
it ut some future time. To my mind
tho trip yesterday afternoon was tho
most interesting of any day so fur.
Last evening ubjut 8 o'clock we
crossed tho Colorado river at Yuma und
found ourselves in Arizona. From ull
accounts of that tropical berg, und hav
ing in my mind the story of the sinner,
who, when ho passed in his checks at
Yuma und got down to tho lower region,
sent back for his blankets, wo expected
to melt there even in winter, hut found
It very comfortable, Indoed, wo have
experienced no unusually warm weather
until today, when it doesn't seem just
like they wero skating ut ome. Were
surprised to lind snow between San
Francisco and Los Angeles. In fact from
the various kinds of weather wo shall
eneounter before returning, it will suro
ly require more of a wardrobe than
newspaper people possess. Would sug
gest that you call upon some of the
