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

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.

arrival in this land cf ice arl snow,

I thought a few linos from our vicinity

We are "having quite cold weather down
here. Everything is frozen up, there is
considerable ice running in the r;vrr at

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

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

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

The plaintiff purchased of tho defend
