FARMERS IN DEBT.
A Correspondent Tells Why and
How It Is.
HE SHAKILY
CRITICISES.
Dependent On Th Wheat Crop alone
Too Many Luxuries And N t
Enough Careful Consideration.
A valued farmer correspondent
in the south part of the county
gives us the following views upon
the question :
"We sometimes hear it suid
before there was any lailroads in
this country, the farmers were out
of debt and money was plenty.
We will admit that the assertion
is mainly true, yet this docs not
prove that the railroads are the
cause of so many farmers being
loaded down by mortgages. The
writer was here nearly twenty
years before the whistle fit" the
locomotive was heard, and has
seen the country developed f:ont
a wilderness to its present condi
tion. In those early days we were
engaged in different occupations
to what we are at present ami
lived very different from what we
do now We did not depend on
wheat lor a support as we do now.
We had no use for a'ny more than
our bread It was not worth any
thing. It would not sell unless we
would yoke up our oxen and haul
it to Portland. Consequently we
were compelled to depend upon
FOiuethingel.se for a living, 'lis
true that sometimes money was
more plen'y than it commonly is
now. When there would be some
new gold mines discovered they
would make a demand for provis
ions and that would make money
plenty for a whilf, but notwith-1
standing all this money wasscarcei j
and harder ro obtain than it has
ever been since there has been j
railroads. If the railroad is detii-j
mental to our prosperity why do
we patronize it? The wagon road
is here yet, just as good as it ever
was ami perhaps a great deal
belter than when we toon produce
to Portland and hauled merchan
dise back. Why not hitch up our
teams as we did in ''those good
old times and haul to and irom
Portland?" The answer is plain
to every one. But some say, ''the
railroad takes the money out of
the countrv." Then the question
aaiu, wh; patronize it? The facts
in the case are that monev did not
not remain heie previjus to the
adyent of the railroad. There was
avenues by which it got away of
whrt-h it is iihiiecesHi ry lor me lo
write.
That freight is much cheaper by
railroad than previous to railroad
tunes none will den v. that we
must have laws to k.-ep their
charges within the bounds ol
reason we all mint admit. We
need railroad commissioners, yes,
by all means let us have commis
sioners that can tell us that the
bridge was not safe after it breaks
down and kills a:id cripples a hun
dred or so of us. What a great
consolation to be told that the
bridge was very unsafe after the
accident had happened.
Now (after this digres-i n) I will
try to show some reasons w hy we
are in debt as a community more
than before railroad davs. When
the railroad came it mado a
market for w heat, and in c ne
qnenee we all plowed up our pas
tures and engaged in wheat
raising. Many of us did not have
the land to raise all the wheat We
wanted and went in debt for more,
in si ort, we put all our energies lo
wheat raising. And as we could
not sow enough withourown work
we had to hi'e help. The business
was pretty satisfactory until the
price in w heat came down, w hich
found many ol us in debt. Nearly
all of our support depended on the
wheat. We put in our crops and,
anticipating a fair yield and a
living price, we go to the store and
buy necessaries (aad unneces
saries) expecting to square up after
harvest, but when harvest is done
and paid for, oil.- blacksmith paid,
there is perhaps enough left to pay
part of our store bill. The mer
chant takes our note and carries
us along in this manner a few
years when he must have his pay
or be secured . We give him or
someone else a mortgage to pay
the debt. The s-.'qiiel is plain.
Nowtli3reis not to exceed one
third of our time spent in putting
in and harvesting our crops.
What are we doing the other two
thirds of the time? We are not
doing anything towards earning a
living or paying off our mortgage.
Our pastures are gone and we are
not making anything from our
stock because we can't keep any.
A great many even buying butter,
lard, bacon, potatoes and other
things we ought to raise on our
farms. Now a little trip through
the country and notice as you are
passing aljout the fiarn yards and
in the fence corners the old ma
chinery that has been discarded,
th-n go into the hou-e (wlich
perhap-i the fanner is in debt foril
it is his own h jiise; and notice how
it Is furnished with very nice furni
ture of a recent date, such as stands
and tables covered with fancy
spreads and nearly hidden by no
tions, that are of no use whatever
except to lo 'k at;, an ortran or
piam. stands in a very conspicuous
place upon which some of the
family are taking lersonj. Now
go into the woodshed and look at
ourwojd. We lined it choped.
then have it sawed by steam or
'orse power, because we could
hire it done cheaply.
We nre living in a day of railroads
and are not behind their speed in
living. In "those good old times,"
when we needed a piece of timber
we went to the timber and got it,
when we wanted lire wood we went
and chopied it ouive.vcs. We
had no parlors, no organs, no
buggies, nor watches.
We are not sighing for the re
turn of "those good old times,"
but are living faster than we can
afford, therefore our indebtedness.
Some of the things enumerated are
very necessary, others are not.
In conclusion we wrl say that
generally, no one is to blame for our
straitened circumstances but our
selves. Then let us go a little
more slow."
A Cycloptic Lamb.
The Astoria Columbian says :
Dr. O. P.. Kstes yesterday received
a remarkable curiosity from Editor
Cornwall, of the Cathlamet Ga
zette. The following description
of the monstrosity was published
in the Cathlamet paper last week :
One of the most remarkable freaks
of nature in the lamb kingdom
came to light at J. J. Robert's
rar.ch last Sunday morning. The
lamb was perfectly natural in ev
ery respect save in its facial ap-
peararce. In this particular it
fcas a monstrosity. It had on:y
one eye which was located directly
in the middle of the forehead.
The nose was deformed, 'this or
gan having never developed and
tapering gradually towar.ls the up
per jaw, w here it united, leaving
the nostrils entirely lacKing. ine
mouth was mis shapen uii-l appar
entlv the only organ through
which to breath. The lamb was
too weak to nurse and had to be
fed with a spoon. It apparently
exercised but little uillh-ully in
performing the double functions ol
swallowing and breathing at the
fame juncture, when the milk was
inserted at the lower corner of the
mouth, it appearing there was an
air cavity there which united w ith
the deformed ncslrils. It lived
until afternoon when it expired
in a series of convulsive fits. If
the lamb could have been f-nccees-fully
raised it would have been a
great curiosity. Dr. Kstes will
preserve the curiosity in alcohol.

The steamer Northwest, of the
Kellogg company, will be up this
evening, says the S.ilom States
man. During her retirement from
the route the Northwest has been
newly furnished thicughout. New
furniture carpets, and curtaining

thoroughly renovated. Her ma

he will run to Salem every otiie

evening and twice weekly there
after, making the run from Albany
to Portland. The Hoag will very
likely be up thi-s eveninz also, and
the expectation is that the Three

DEATH OF AN OLD EDITOS.
W. A- McFberson, Ouce a Proir.iucnt Man
in the Siate, Has Passed Away.
W. A. McPherson, well known
in newspaper circles throughout
the state, died at St. Vincent hos
pital at C o'cloi k yesterday morn
ing, aired about (2 years. His re
mains were removed to DeLhin A
llolman's undertaking establish
ment. The time and place of
interment w ill lie fixed later, w hen
his relatives can be communicated
with.
In his early days Mr. McPherson
occupied a prominent position be
fore the public, and was looked
upon as one of the leading lights
in the field of journalism in this
state. 1 Ie was a graceful yet forci
ble writer, and contributed much
toward the best literature in Ore
gon. Both his poetry and his
prose efforts were read with inter
est and were w idely copied. I!e
was possessed of a poetic vein, and
although he wrote tut little verse,
yet it was always in an easy, hap
Iiy vein, and he was ranked among
the best Western poets, whose
writings, thoush not attaining a
national reputation, might well be
compared with those of writers of
note.
Although during the past twenty
years Mr. McPherson lias not oc
cupied a high position in the com
munity, yet he was in his earlir
career much esteemed for Lis
frank and generous nature, and
his pulilie-spiritediicss toward
charitable and educational institu
tion. .Air. McPherson was ' o! S.'otch
c-x' raction, and at an tarly day,
while yet a young man. came to
this state. For many years he
was a resident of Linn county.
His lirst experience was that of a
S'-hocl teacher, and then he was
editor and publisher of the Albany
Journal from '04 to 'Oti. Iti June
of the latter year he was elected
state printer. After his election
he removed to Salem and started
the Salem Unionist, which he
conducted f -r several years. Din
ing the past twenty years he has
liec-n connected with a number of
papers both in Salem and in this
city. Oiegonian.
All Old l-sTitioli.
The clerk of one of the PortUnd
. hotels has dug up an old London
I publication that gives the follow
I iug description of San Francisco
in the days of ' -I'.t : "The town of
San Francisco is .situated on the
! s..r.th side of the entrance, froiit-
nigon the Imv, f.nd about six
miles from the ocean. The flow
and el.b of the tide tire sutlicient
to brum a vessel to the anchorage
in I: out of the town, and to carry
it outside without the aid of wind,
or even ngainst an unfavorable
wind. The p; uuanent population
of the town is at this time between
one and two hundred, and is com
posed almost exclusively of for
eigners. There are but two or
three native California families in
the place. The transient popula
tion, and at present it' is quite
numerous, consists of the garrison
of marines stationed here and the
officers and 'crews attached
to the merchant and whale
ships lying in the harbor.
The houses with few excep
tions, are small adobes and frames,
constructed yvithotit regard to
architectural tasU-, convenience or
comfort. Very few of them have
either chimneys or iireplaees. The
inhabitants contrive to live the
year round without fires, except
tor cooking. The country coidtg-
I nous to Kan Francisco and iribu
j t iry to it cannot be surpassed in

of producing whatever is necessary
I to t tie eiistenanee of man, and

ical climates, not taking info ac
count the mineral wealth of the
tin rounding hills a.d mounta'u.s.
This place is, doubtless, destined
to become one of the largest and
inoht opulent commercial cities in
the world, and, under tne Ameri
can authority, it will rise with
astonishing rapidity."

A Case of lirutality.
The Spokane Review reporls that
a young girl, bearing evidences of
having been brutally treated,
called at a lodging hotise in that
city last Tuesday evening, and begg
ed for a night's lodging. She was
given a bed for the night and kind
ly cared for. She gave her name
as Fnima Stock, and said she was
the adopted daughter Mrs. Fred
Furlh. Her body showed signs of
terrible beatings and her arms
were swollen and discolored. Sue
was thinly clad in a ragged ging
ham, and her slight form was blue
withcold. According ta her story,
her parents were both dead and
she has lived with Mrs. Furth for
seven years. During all this time
she has been made to work like a
slave and has been subjected to
the brutal beatings of her devilish
mother i?) until her young life has
been one of constant terror. Why
will (iod stand by and see such
cruelty perpetrated.

it to be some poisonous weed in
the feed, the hay has been burned ;
