P. 11. 1L might be readable, I venture to ''ive a short outline of a week's journey. I have always felt the u-ual boybdi anxiety 10 trivei but when it j Minnesota Massacre of which he was an camo to the te.-:t Inuist confess I left my j eye-witness. From Denver he also re native Statu with feeHnga of anything ceived their fiewing-maeh:r.r-, long tried but jollity. Oil the evening of Jan. 10th Mu reliable to do good work. Mr. I took the train at The Dalles, having j Young was formerly u proaperoiu mer- putcliaseu a inrougu tiehret lrom there to ai-t aukee. Tlire beinir but little trav- i 4i t i 1 n - el on the ea.st bound trams thia tim-J ol year I was the sole oeeupant of my ear the first night. Jan. 20th we reached Wallula Junction at 7:30 a. u. wh.ere my heart was gladened at the sight of three more passengers. Ite.dh'iirg that one should be cautious in forming nev acquaintances on this kind of trip, I did not at first betray-the interest J realiv fcjfc Jn hov;.v. comjjanions. T. thought ! the safe way was to pack my cash deep and keep my trusty revolver always at hand. But afti-r mature deliberation 1 presume -non; that nct'-vithstandnig my fedinj of valor, hail 1 been attacked I should most likely have. Yielded u mv i. weapon and cash and jumped through the e ir window. After the iirst twelve hums ride the ren-iunder of our journey was throis ;i rsi-- I'.v.iMnimiw iitlil r.f , ,T - , , it mit of the Ilocky mountains require ' ten minutes for tlic cars to pass through. Doth the ascent and descent of the Ilocky mountains present the most beautiful mountain scenery. Through Montana and Dakota the nu-rcury ranged between 20 and 38 degrees below zero, and we w itnss.-.ed w hat they call here a blizzard. Ah the road passes through the Crow Indian reservation, several of the tribe, including the Chief, rode u number of miles on our train. They are a race of tall robust men, some of whom carried the historic bow and arrow which re minds one of the poetic red-man of the forest. What otherwise would seem a monotonous journey" of six days was passed quite pTea.sartt'y by the novelty of the sevnery, jovial trave'ing compan ions, and rtertaiiuug books. I have seen but little of Wisconsin, but am informed that it is a fine agricul tural and lumbering country. Put from whftt I have w-en of its forest it lack the majestic lir and cedar of Oregon. Although the surroundings here are pleasant and we have many conveniences which our young .State has not, yet to mo my native. .'-,tate possesses natural advan tages anil attractions which with my limited observation Ihare not sen ei ther in this State or any of the States or Territories through which we passed. Having arrived fifteen hours later tkn my telegram from St. Paul iudicjted, I found tho object of my travel in a state of nervour-i excitement, othervi.,3 aha and the Doctor were, in good health, and nicely situated. 1 take this opportunity to inferm my "sisters, cousin-, and aunts'' of my safe arrival in this land cf ice arl snow, sloigli3 and buffalo robes. Yours in c.ri'e, Willis II. Mouse. Coal UltEKK, Feb. 12th. 4. KiiTOi:or- tiir CoLVMaiAX-ZAvr Sir: I thought a few linos from our vicinity might interest yon, .so I will send them. We are "having quite cold weather down here. Everything is frozen up, there is considerable ice running in the r;vrr at r-resei:t. We had a dance 'ast fSatcrday night, and had a very good time. I see by your last paper that the Portland kid, J as they call him, got sacked. May be he did and may be lie didn't., but ad the f-ame the fellow 'that wrote it got left worse than he did and was mad at the Portland jake. Mav be he would like to have the eliance. to get' left but he eouhl not get the chine-. You. know how the country fellows hate any new- fellow that gets in ahead of them. Well mav be Jim may have the next chance; he has been kind of down-hearted since a Portland man got away with tho grass widow. One of the Neer City men wa-s do n i .... he sa:d ouite an ftccidont happened at the city, a woman of the place was coasting down Main Street under full sail, and ran afoul of wood-chopper, taking away all his stand ing rigging and disabling him to such an extent he had to go to the bone-yard to repair damages. They had better look out for coasters. At the city another young man had belter look out for him 8elf or he will be caught by a Xe, not a fish -net either. I wid fcend more news mxt time, so good-bye for tho present. Yours truly, . ; 1 . -.lV. operations carefully performed. j W. Mcliride has increased his stock lately in many articles. 1 lleceived a call: yesterday from Mr. William Young avki son Charley. His farm its on Jackson Prairie, Lewis Co. with a splendid vie., of Istt. Rainier. rT ... , , r rr !!u to runners, and manufactured the iie thinks th.i laud lir-it ouality.

The Muckles have reported 'they as isted us in our pererty, r.d helped us. If they did, it must have been unknown to us. They nevrr gave us a dolkr's worth without the dollar. All the as sistance they gave u Charley Muckle wua once one man on cur bonds when we were J ustice of the Peace, and that never cost him only the effort to write his name. We were never bothered to get bondsmen any way. Old man Mucklo has repeated the bald lie a num ber ef times about his sons' liberality to us. What thev cive is nothin' to no body. Their liberfdity has been to tear down cur fences with their log?, so we have lost all thejneome of our place for the h;st six wars. Jailer Dougherty says the best prison er he has is David Cloninger; he is a per fect gentleman in his behavior and de mean or. We hare known Mr.. Cloning er for many years-, and have always found him a straight-forward gentleman a? far a we were concerned, lie has always used us in th most gentlemanly manner. He was always known as hon est and square in bis dealings. Ha did not wish to infringe cm anybody else's rights or have them infringe on his. Mr. Gvy has finished quite a t-isty sleigh. lie got it done Friday, and his horse eloped just tor fun, so he missed his ride. .Vv. . Dil lard l.v;q. hus fin ished an arti;.tic pur.g.

Jim Muckle. has a ve hicle, half rkigh and half puug, covered with an old buffalo and an old co.nfort- er, which needs a washerwoman. vith which he sails around in regal st vle. The mist "s the laughing stock of the whole coui-.trv. The idea that the Muck les (should r.tavt out as publishera i-. enough to make a c.-it laugh. They should p:t their headm in a bag and tiek them in a barrel of soft soap, and then start another paper. You ought to see the little consumptive pi! i thev sene out to thei i subscribers at this post-otiice. Mr. J. M. Ives lias been down on his homestead on the Cowernan, and has just returned.

He had just been out to Forest Grove where he has his family at school. His eldest daughter is attend ing the Academy, and two of his child ren the Public School. He means Ids family shall bo well educated. This cold wave is a little too cold, and comes pretty late in the season. The ground covered with snow, and the riv er full of ice is an unusual shdit for Oie gon, though the boys and girls srem to enjoy it much, lircy'ies' pond is the rrreat center of attraoiou. FU?g. typo on the Mist has married the widow Morrison. Mrs. -Morrison has two little children, and has just complet ed the family circle by espouin3 a hus- 4 band. She is a nice, wide awake woman, and we hope she may have good hick in her new relation. The LiiCi'a XTuson has failed to con nect. The 2'olejo and KcUo-jy do not come, and only the mail steamers plough through the ice. Ocean .steamers, how ever don't mind it much. The mail steamers come down the Slough . That freezes last of all. J. S. Davenport has a big supply of cigars and could afford to furnish small dealers wholesale lots at reasonable pri ces.

The question has. been asked some body, "How old are trade marks?" who answers it by saying that they seem to be noarly as old a3 the industry of the race. Ancient Tabylon had property sym bols, and the Chinese claim to havo had trada marks 1.CC0 years before Christ. Guttenbcrg', the very inventor of print ing, had a lawsuit about a trade m&rk, and he won it. As enrly as 1300 tho English Parliament - authorized trade marks, and tho lav. a of America havo al ways protected them. Tho theory by which a suit 13 brought for infringement of a trade mark is that its uso deprives tho origioator of kia property, and de ceives the public ns to the article. Ex traordinary means have been required at 1 all times to guard against tho fraudulent uso of marks cf manufacturers. In ancient times tho greatest .import ance was placed noon tho marks of indi vidual workmen, because, as in the case of the armorers, valuable lives often. de pended cn the quality of tho workman ship. Ono old author-complains that certain good f.rid truo soldiers were killed simply becausa the workmanship of their swords end arms w:r not ood, and failed thorn v. hen ia bat He. Very early, therefore, it was found necessary to make f triagent laws pgniust counter feiting trade marks, end against scamped workmanship. Without protection in this one particular, i:tdo would rdraost come to a standstill, becauso there are very few thing?-, cosiparativelr, that can be purchased cn their mcri's, judged at the moment. In general, wo know the quality of Qoods by experience, and it h o:dy afier thr.-y havo been in uso that a certain judtK'nt can be pronounced tip on their qusiiiy. Having, ihen, once found that a cerlaia wr rlcniau's jroduc tions cro good, wa r.ek thm agaia in tho market. If we havo no means of. identifying his trada mark tho whole worit of buying becomes a haphazard affair. Tha besl. goods at ones loso their value. This was early discovered, and probably the successors cf Tubal Cain were tho flif i to use distinctive marks on thc-i : manufactures. Ttc Carpet Trade Review. FAIiLOJl AXli SI.'i:iIxa-CAil ZAr.
