What is the Matter with Kansas No. 1.
DAMAr-ciH, Oregon. 1
March 4, 1875. J
Mit, Kditok: InmarDcent arrlal iu this
Stato, being nothing less than a Kansas
"starvo out" or "grasshopper refugee." And
aa tho (iieUion of relief for tho denizens of
that Stale Is much mooted Just now In Ore
gon, I want to let tho readers of the Fajimkr
know just how the matter stands in Kansas,
and just horr the pooplo aro giving thcrir ap
proval to a fraud on their sister States, and
on those persons -who flesire to emigrate to
eotno ono of tbn new Western States. In
speaking of Knosai nnd her misfortunes, I
&now what I am talking about; for 1 was a
Tesidont of that Stato over eight years, hav
ing gone thoro In tbofmnne of 1806. In that
year no had grasshoppers. But as the dry
weather had damaged all tho field nnd gar
den "crops, the Insects did no great licrin.
And bear in mind, that every time they have
grasshoppers in Kansas they aro preceded by
a drouth that -always does the damage, end
canaoH whatever Of distress the people of t'hat
unhappy country are compelled to bear.
Without going ir. to details as to how tho
-frrasshoppoTs came in 18C0, and onco bofore
'that year, isrid again in 18GG, '07, '08. In this
latter yemrthe neoson begun with a very dry
-cold wintor. However, tho spring planting
was prcjjressedvith and every seed sown or
planted soem'to gorraiuato and grow sa fine
ly as crops everr grew in any country; rains
wero mmsonable until about (ho middlo of
Juno; it -then set iu dry with a hot south
west jrftla or nrmoon, about tho flrstof July,
ihat In -loss than a wook's time so flried up
the core (tbon'0.2 to 14 feet high) tbat'lt would
burn nr astly as dry straw. Thia, 'howovor,
extendad orily about half way 'across tho
State. 1)ut thero wore hundrods of new set
tlors T.'hohtftl been on their places iltota ono
to thr'! yearn, 7ho either left thofitnto nover
to return or stayed and recoivofl usslstanco,
or starved throtgh tho winter on dviod bu Ha
lo innct. Home did stay, and tho Stato au
thorities donated them sood for tho next
year's planting.
lifGi llioy mlsed nil over Kansas tho sec
ond fnll crop the Statu over pro'ducod; the
JVrst tntl crop was raised 1801. All crops sta
tistics of that Stato are based on those two
yoar; that it, such as aro furnished to
Itnmigntnlri bv tho railroads and other land
pexjtilatorn. 'in 1870 another rtostrnctlvo fail
ure oacurred in the westorn half of the Stato.
This will ha donlod hy land spooutators and
iel-ofitate agents in Kansas, but I know a
great-many um.ii living in Kansas to-day who
1n that year left tholr claimn and wont oil' to
Sfloaov.ri to chop wood, so as to Hvo through
he winter of if.70-71. In i87l-72 they again

Howo,ibnt as imml, when they produce atiy-"thluj-t

their horns loudly." In IfcTC they had

ato pinch their stock through on liclf rations;

fails to produce a crop about fivo years out
of eight ta not a deslrajle climate to settle
In, and emigration Is ail that has kept that
Stato alive tor tho last five years; the people
aro afraid that emigrants will seek other sec
tions, and so they will; tho flood tide of em
igration Is upon us, and it behooves tho peo
ple of Oregon to preparo to receive it. Cal
ilorala has one ot the peculiarities of Kansas
and Nebraska. Those three States hold
many of their "beauties" in common :
"Italian climato" and drouths which people
oming from Kansas don't want any more
of. There aro natural causes for those
drouths in Kansas that are beyond human
power to control. That State has a sand
desert bordering it on tho south-west, ex
tending off in a south-west direction for over
00 miles down to the Rio Grande river in
Texas, and I don't know how much farther,
and 400 miles in its greatest width. This
accounts for thoso hot winds they have in
that country. For proof of this assertion I
refer you to Gen. Uoorge A. Custer and all
the ollicers of tho 7th U. S. cavalry. Mr.
Editor this is my first attempt at writiug for
a newspaper and as I am a clod-hopper and

hope you will excuse me for writing so long

JACKSON COUNTY.
Mound .Ranch, Jackson Co , Ogn., f
Mjrcli 2d, 1876.
Mit. KDiron: As I learn from persons com
ing to the Qalice Creek mines, in Josephine
county, from your valley, that there are
many things published in tho papers down
there that are loading people astray concern
ing these mines, I therefore take this method
to say a few words through your columns to
all who will read this short article. I have
visited this mining district fivo times since
the first of last noyomber. I attended tbe
first mooting that was held to make some lo
cal regulations, concerning the quartz mines
there, and wroto out the proceedings ot that
mooting; and also tho first articlo that was
published in our county papers to cill atten
tion to tho groat Yank ledge: Thero have been
many exagerated statements mauo about
those minos, but I,father hone of tb'em.The
quartz In this mtnlngdlstrict is plenty; four
dltleroiitand dlstiuct ledges, ranging in
width from one hundred to near three hun
dred foet, have been disoovored aud traced
for miles. It is not to exceed tour miles from
the east ono of tho four to the west one. They
ruu nearly parallel with each other, and
their course la a littlo wost of south and east
ol north. They aro in an unsurvoyod region,
but accordiug to our County Surveyor, if tho
country was raugod and towt.shiped, vthere
the Yank ledge is cut by Uoguo river, would
be in Township 34 south aud KangoS west.
There has been but very littlo of tho quartz
taken out yet, aud loss tested. The tests are
very unsatisfactory, some showing mere tra
ces of gold and silver, "and others givfnjs as
high as 78 to tbe ton, We"are""anxioua'for
those mines to prove a success, but this can
not bo done by over-ratfng (he quartz, nor by
ovei-rattng tho work -being done upon them.
Therefore, I wodid say to all concerned, do
not booome unduly excited on this matter. It
has been stated that thoro were mills to work
theso mines oil the way from San.Francisco.
If this i so, it Is uot known by tbe parties
down at tho mines. Thoro li a saw-mill be
ing built somo seven miles from where Rogue
river passes tho east.ledgq; but hero they
have plenty of hands. There are soveral
buildings being put up, but they aro of a very
temporary character. Thero is much talk of
a wagon road, but as thero aro three ways or
routes proposed, thoro is not much prospect
of getting auy one opened soon. Thero was
a meeting down there last Friday to adopt
some measures to try to uuito on some one
routo, but this was uot accomplished. There
Is a doubt with some whother wo ever need
a road there. I am strong In tbe belief that
we do. Ou Grave Creek they have found
some fine ore. This is some four or Ave miles
north from the river. These mines are linely
situated for working; thero Is an abundance
of water power both on Grave Creek and
Uoguo river to run machinery, and plenty
of fine timber for fuel and building purposes.
Our valley and Umpqua -can supply many
persons with provisions at reasonaBle rates.
I think that this mine will boot vast import
ance to Southern Oregon. Prospectlug U be
ing prosecuted with eeetlderable success in
our county. There baa been some very good
rllver ore fouud in dlUerent places of late.
'Cinnabar why we do uot knaw how much
there Is of It In this county, I think not less
than hair a dozen different ledges have been
found; but we do not know how rich they
ar going to be, uor low woll tbey aro going
toa-ay; nor yot how lasting the ledges wiU
be. They are very flittering in places at least.
Let uo ons becomn excited over, these proa
pecU and leave remunerative businesses to
run after them; but If any have money to
apena to pivepeol, there U a grand ,openln
iuire to spen i It.

During trie month of February just closed
thpro worejdx rainy days, giving .93 inches
water. Tho anow which had fallen in Janu

7th, except in specially sheltered places, as
In the timber and bush on tbe northerly
sides of the hills.
There were dense fogs on Ihe mornings of
the 0th, 13th, 20th and 26th, and the eveuing
of the 12th, that of tho 2i3th, continuing until stock all good farmers ought to have and

During the whole of the 28th there were
light showers of soft, coarse rain and snow,
the snow melting as it reached the ground.
Frosts occurred on the mornings of the
8d, 4th, 14th, 15th, ICth and 18th, and a very
beautiful lunar halo on the evening of tho
17th.
Tho dally mean temperature for the month
was 29.37. Highest daily mean 44, on the
23th. Lowest daily mean, 24, on the third.
The rule heretofore practiced of arriving at
the dally mean temperature, bay been to add
the 3 observations togother, and divide by
3; but Instructions from tbe Chief Signal Of
fice at Washington require the morning and
noon and twice the eveninc observations
added together and divide by 4; the former
method giving too high a result. The now
method is adopted in the report in this month
from and after the 9th, and will be pursued
in future.
During February. 1874, there were 13 rainy
and snowy days and 3.25 inches water, 4
clear and 11 cloudy days.

Obituary.
Died, of consumption, near Howell Prairie,
March 8th, 187.-), at 5 o'clock A. M.. George P.
Williams, aged 20 years and 8 mouths.
Mr. Kurron: It is a painful duty to record
the death of our excellent young friend Mr.
3eorgo P. Williams who has been lingering
with uousumptlon for a year or more.
Young Williams was unquestionably a
youth of superior Intellectual capacity, and
was bidding fair to become a prominent and
useful citizen.
He was born in Marion county, Oregon,
July 23d, 1851; his parents, James and Julia
Williams having a large family to maintain
and ill prepared to give George an education,'
he left his home at the tender age of 15, with
a determination to be a scholar, which ap
peared from early childhood to bo crowning
hopo of his ambition; but, alasl in the midst
of his young dreams tho cruel hand of death
has taken him from our midstand consigned
him to the tomb to "sleep forever there!"
His remaius wore interred at tbe Bethany
cometery, March 9th, and notwithstanding
the threatening weather tho funeral was at
tended by 150 persons. G. J. McCnAW.
Faum Sold. Mr. J. G. Toner, of Oregon
City, has recently purchased of Mr. X. Ran
dall, or that city, a farm of SCO acres, lying
on the Willamette river, half n mile abovo
Lincoln in Polk ccuuty, terms ?4,500, or
about $14,50 per acre. Of this 250 acros is
good rich bottom land and the remainder
timber lands along the river. Thero is a
warohouse on the river bank closo at hand so
it possesses every advantage for shipment ot
products tbe y6ariound. Thero is a com
fortable house and good barn on tho prom-
Ism aud all under under good fence. This
land is only about 7 miles from Salem and
in an excellent community for all social re
quirements. So Eastern readors can judge
if land is high in Oregon, though we cannot
promiso all of them as good trades if they
ooine here.
Fink Draft Stam.ion.-D. Grierson again
presents tbe breeders of this vicinity his
draft stallion, Young England's Glory, Bun
Koy, which made the season here last year
very satisfactorily and has excellent colts to
show for It. As before, Bkn Koy will bo kept
at Durbln's stable in this oity, and we refer
readers to the advertisement for fuller par
ticular!). The horse and his progeny speak
for themselves.

To-day, March 5th, tho writer called on
Mr. W. M. & D. Sherer, of Linn county, who
take your valuablrfpaper, and tock a stroll
through their poultry yard, and to see their
Cotawold sheep and Poland China hogs. Tho
hoga ware brought from Ohio, and aro models
of beauty. .Ono sow that had a litter of eight
pigs will probably weigh about 600 pounds.
The Sherer Brothers have a fanoy for good
good nice animal, compared to a poor one.
It seems very strange that Intelligent and
enterprising farmers do not take more pains
to Improve tholr stock, especially their sheep
and hogs. But no, they plod along, many
of them, year after year, and do nearly as
their fathers and grandfathers did before
them.
These new breeds or hogs are far superior
to the old races, yet many farmers take no
interest in securing the improved breeds but
go on raising hogs on tbe old plan of letting
them "root, hog, or die."
They say the old breed can gel their own
living, whllo the new must be fed and taken
care of, and so they prefer the old. Those
who raise tbe new say it takes less feed, and
pays a groater profit by one half, and surely
tbey ought to know when they have tried
both kindsl The new breeds do not root up
tho ground, do not run so much and are not
troublesome abont getting out or their en
closures as others; their snout does not look
as though it was made to root with, it's too
short to do much in that line; and another
advantage over the old is, they fatten young,
which is an item worth looking aftor. Tbo
sheep wero tame as pets and showed that
they had good treatment.
The hens were a beautiful sight. Tbe
White and Brown Leghorn and Houdan
are breeds that aro not setters, and right
here the old breed comes in to help hatch
and rear the new.
Everything on the farm goes to show the
Sherer Bros, to bo men of enterprise and
intelligence.

Canyon City, Feb. 20, 1875.
Mn. Kditoii: It may be of some interest to
your readers to know what the Patrous of
Husbandry aro doing in Grant county, and
as thero has just been held a public meeting
to wuich all wero invited, I thought a brief
statement of tho proceedings might not be
entirely without interest.
Ever since the first Grange has been organ
ized here, there has boen a great curiosity
excited in the community generally to know
what the Patrons intended to do, and also
whether they would succeed in keeping up
their organization. It was given out that on
the -2d Inst., being the anniversary of the
birth of Washington, there would be a pub
lio meeting of the Patrons and everybody
invited to attend. The morning of that day
dawned amid a violent snow storm, but that
circumstance did not keep tho peoplo at
home, and the Good Templars hall where
tho meeting was to bo held was packed from
centroto circumference
The meeting was opened by prayer by the
Cnaplain, Rev. A. J. Joslln; then a song by
a company of Patrons, after which the Depu
ty Grand Master, D. B. Rinehart, proceeded
to dollvor an oration; and for aboutonehour
and a half that large and intelligent audience
listened with the most' broathloss attention,
Ills oration is spoken of by those who claim
to be fudges in such matters, as one of the
best, if not the best, tbey ever beard.
At the close of the address, a sister of the
Order sang a solo being a prlza song.of the
Patrons after which Col. Geo. B. Cnrry was
called to the stand and proceeded to deliver
an address which proved to bo one of his
happlost efforts; and for another hour and a
hair the audienoe was completely spell
bound. The Colonel brought out many facts and
figures to show the necessity for the organi
zation of tho Patrons of Husbandry; and II
peoplo doubted tbe permanency of the Order
bofore, I think all such doubts will be hence
forth and forever banished from their minds.
Everything passed off in the happiest
manner, and everybody seemed pleased, es
pecially the Patrons, for It certainly was a
proud day for them, and ono long to be re
membered. The order Is Bleadlly increasing in mem
bers and interest in tills county, aud if the
eume interest continues to be manifested will
in a short time embrace nearly all the farm
ers wltbiq II fold.
Ihere is just as much need of tbe order
hero, as elsewhere, and already we are be
ginning to reap tbe frnltsof the organization
iu more ways than one. " X. Y. ,.
