OBITUARY.
On the 23d day of February 1SD1,
the earthlv life of Blanche A.
Davis, daughter of V. C. and W.
A. Davis, came to and end, at the
' age of nearly fourteen years, her
birth day being upon the 4tii day
of July. A sweet winsome child,
her life was an example of patient
siitlermg, raving been tor a
uumberof years under the care ol
skillful and able physicians hut a
hopeless case. So winsome was
she and so thoughtful of others
that the care she required was a
pleasure. She was a great reader
and during the closing mouths of
her life had completly read and
some portions re-read the entire
new testament. The parents and
relatives of Blanche, while they
sadly miss her and cannot but
mourn her loss, have as a comfort
ing thought, the memory of her
aiuiiabilily, and the thoughtful
care for all bo ministered to her.
She was certainly of those of whom
it was said, "of such is the kingdom
of heaven.

OUE NORTHERN NEIGHBORS.
What a Tourist Agent Saw in a Long Trip
- Farmirg Lands in Oregon.
Jam Miller, the tourist agent,
has just returned from an extended
trip of observation throughout the
northwestern country ,on which he
was absent aliout four weeks. He
was accompanied by Mrs. Miller
on his journeying. Mr. Miller
this afternoon condensed his ob
servations into a few leading
points. lie visited Portland,
Tacoma, Seattle, Spokane Falls,
Victoria. Vancouver, the Willam
ette and Roj. ue river valleys, and
also made a tour along the Cana
dian Pacific railroadas far as North
Bend, on the Fraier river. lie
intended to push on to Glacier,
but a severe storm came up, so
that he was convinced that it
would be impossible to view the
glaciers, and he turned back. To
see w hatever there was to look a'
he took freight trains where there
were no passenger trains running
by daylight through particular
tracts of special interest.
"It was particularly impressive
by two facts," said Mr. Miller.
"Tho lirst was that the Puget
Sound country does not hold out
anything like the farming proposi
tion allorded bv any fertile section
of California. The second was that
all that country is bound to be
tributary to San Francisco. The
farms in certain valleys like the
Willamette and Rogue river
vallevs are thrifty and line look
ing. There they have prairie land
as a basis. Rut in the country
where forests have been cut away
to make farm or town sites, the
cost of clearing up the stumps is
very large. I talked tith a banker
who headed a syndicate to clear
up 100 acres of stumpy land for a
town site and Ihe average cost of
clearing proved to be between $80
and $100 per acre. here you
find these stumpy farms of course
it is evident that it will take a pool
farmer a long time to clear up a
large tract, there are many
farms where onlv a few acres have
been brought under cultivation,
and the homes of the farmers are
only cabins. Of course rich men
can go ahead and make farms any
where, but the poor man finds it
slow and expensive to grub among
stumps. As to that tiibutary tj
Sun Francisco, it is is evident -o
any observer that the people there
must look to San Francisco for
nine-tenths oi there market for
lumber. 1 went into tiie stores in
all the tow ns, and was really sur
prised to see what a large propor
tion of the goods offered for sale
came from San Francisco. Nearly
all the fruit is (.'amornun and a
great share of the vegetables mar
keted there. The orchards, with
a few exceptions, show poor man
agement or lack of knowledge of
Iruit culture.
"The b lilding boom was largely
abated. Many towns are clearly
overbuilt. They have all the ac
comodations that will be needed
for years to come. The general
average of the buildings erected
lor business purposes is high. A
great deal of eastern capital, much
of it from Boston, has gone in there
in buildings. There is also some
.San Francisco capital in buildings
and lands. The public improve
ments are also good, i was sur
prised to see how almost every
town in the Northwest is supplied
with street railways, electric or
cable, or both. Seattle, for in
"tance, has two cable roads out to
Washington lake. Whatcombiiasa
cable road out to bake V hatcomb
The electric roads go over hills as
steep as any we have here. Se
attle's electric road has an electric
light on every other pole of its
overhead svstetn, for the purpose
of street illumination. There is a
general movement among the
towns in the Northwest to force a
provision that the roads shall sus
tain these electric lights into every
franchise granted. hen the lirst
roads were built that provision
wasoverlojked. Now, as to over
building, I will say without men
tioning the town, that this particu
lar place, with a population of only
about thirty tliousan l people, is
reported to have 0,0! 10 rooms de
signed for oliices. it seemed odd
to set; story after story of buildings
vacant, waiting for tenants, who
do not. come, while the ground
lloor business premises are oc
cupietl.
"Another thing which anyone
must notice as detrimental to the
Northwest is the wav in which
everybody is kiiiling everybody
else. That is every town isagainst
every town. This spirit does not
abate. There is jealousy every
where. Many towns are laid out
on sites big enough to take in all
San Francisco. Seattle and Tacoma
are as bitter against each other as
ever. There is Vancouver also.
There is a nice town there. But
the railroad has gone to one side
of the main settlement and erected
business buildings or corner lots
and made a show oi enough com
petition to excite bitterness be
tween the two sections. Victoria
struck ine as a n ce, easygoing
place which will grow on account
of mines. There are excellent
hotels all through the Northwest,
but prices are high. West Seattle
will be a liue place. It has large
elcvatoisand nice resiliences and
tleep water. Whatcom, 1 think,
wilt come to the front. Seattle is
largely overbuilt for the present.
It's street car system is a bigthing.
1-aii haven has one of the nicest
hotels in the Northwest. It is own
ed by D. O. Mills. Tacoma, is
healthy, but overgrown. People
in the Northwest reali.e the situa
tion and many told us that thev
were waiting tor a chance to iret
out and conielo California. 'Ihe
land boom is over. East Wash
ington and Eist Oregon have a
great future. Portland hasgrown,
but is conservative in its building
ami has not gone beyond w hat is
needed. It is wealthy and has
stability. Railroad building has
oeen suspended to some degree,
l am credibly informed that the
Union Pacific suspended buildim;
operations because of its agreement
with the Great Northern to build
jointly from Seattle to Potland."

There was an amendment paused
by 'the legislature to senator
Fulton's railroad bi'l, as published
in the HnitAi.i,)e-iterJay niorninv.
Its provisions, which are as follows,
w ill be of special significance in
the light of the recent devolop
meuts in the Albany and Astoria
railway's plans : The amendment
provitles''that any company that
shall construct a line of railway
from a point on the sea coast
through Southeastern Oregon to a
connection with a transcontinental
line, and shall build not less than
('H) miles in Oregon, ami not less
than seventy-tiye miles within two
years from the passage of this act,
and not less than fifty miles per

and shall complete the same, the
entire line, within seven years,

of this act."
Graduates Will Itecome Teachers.
An important law affecting col

fcix years of successful teaching in
the state of O egon, shall be en
titled to a state life diploma, as
now provided by law, when they
shall have paid The required fee
for said diploma."
More liiilian Heard From.
Wherever the red skins come to
sight it appears they are up .to
deviltry. The Baker City Denfo
crat says that the Umatilla Indians
are reported to be ali through the
mountairison the Middieand North
Fork of the John Day, says the
Long Creek Eagle. They are on
their regular tour ami as is usually
the case, are doing about as much
damage and devilment as possible.
We understand that the agent of
the I'matillas has been petitioned
to keep these roving bucks on the
reservation, but such petitioning
seems to have availed nothing.
These Indians are reported as
slaughtering all kinds of game as
they no, an act which is is not
allowed the settlers, especially at
this season of the year. Much
valuable timber is being destroyed
at their hands.
The Pocket iuii.
.Sadness and disaster follows
wherever the pocket pistol comes
to the surface, The Dalles Times
Mountaineer relates a case of that
nature. Last Saturday afternoon,
at Hood River, several boys were
playing with a revolver, when it
accidentally dischared. the ball
striking Newton Thomas a son of
Dr. L. lhomis, of that tow n aged
Li years, over the right eye. This
occurred about 4 o'clock, and the
boy died at 7 the same evening.
Everything was done that possibly
could be to relieve the boy ; but
the wound was necessarily fatal,
and his life was dispaired "of from
the first- This is the only son of
Dr. Thomas, and his death will be
a severe blow on the parents, who
have the sympathy ol the com
munity in their terrible bereave
ment. A ppreciateit.
The fame of Oregon's principal
