Ploud Mount Tarcnw's now-chid olillV.
Her glided pi.inaclr.s of snow
Kctlei t beucuth a purple glow;
The tinted rliUes "f her crest
IJlush deeper as the sun goes west.
Swift 'round her crag the eagle sails,
And frolics with the oky-born'gales.
Ills wide-spread winns his noble air,
Drinks from the vigor resting there.
He soars, and races with the mist,
And cleaves the clouds, with sunlight
kissed 1
Tar up along her bo.om creeps
SotuoMiow-gluzed ridges snow-Hncd deeps.
The clouds hang on her lifted hand
Like streaming draperies o'er the land.
The morning rays are cleft in twain,
And then at eve, unite again.
Proud monuments of Nature's art!
Of grandieur, thou, the grandest part 1
ltold land-mark of lom; ages past.
Thy tales and legends cVr shall last.
The heiroslynhies on thy breast, ,
fc-hull be, when nations are at rest.
ITov," many a wild tradition clings
How many a legend softlv rings
Around thy snow-clad dills and peaks.
Thy everv crag and chasm speaks
Of distant talcs of long gono years;
Degenerate fable lurks and" fears.
Oft' has the rod man's suppliant knee
Rowed low in reverence to thee!
Among thy sun lit heights he saw
The source of every change and law.
And at thy foot his every dream
Saw thee the god of all supreme.
White is the mantle o'er thee cast,
Pure as n saint, and till the last
Of Nature's funeral piles shall die,
Thy nurity shall deck the sky 1
An emblem of a purer throne
in these fair climes has novcr shone.
Ho who wou.d step to higher planes,
And ask the world for nobler g.iins,
Must be far purer than the kind
He leaves in lower state behind.
If an example one would set
He purer than the purest yet.
Orand is the majesty that glows
From out the mirror of thy Knows.
Anil grander far the shadows deep
That fall at evening at thy feet.
The waves that on Pacific's beach
Surge backward to thy summit's reach.
Mankind looks upwards to thy crest,
And sees thy eloquence at rest.
He sees tlie likeness of a life.
Purer than his, and free from strife
He sees amid thy summits wild,

Farmers busy plowing.
School will probably start in this
district. April 1st.
Mr. Henry Simons and 'family, of
Tacoma, have been visiting their ma
ny friends and relatives in this placo
for the past week or two.
Mr. C. 1". Miller will remove lo
Washington Territory to spend the
summer. We regret to see our ranks
thinned out, for the vacant houses in
our burg look sadly like "sweet Au
burn" of which Goldsmith has said so
much.
Mr. T. B. H. Green moved a band
of fine looking sheep to the hills, Inst
week, for the purpose of getting flesh
on them, ami to prepare inem ior
market.
Ecclcs' saw mill will eooii start for a
good season's run. Considerable dry
lumber is on the yard here yet. They
have a sufiicient amount of good logs
cut now to last them half the season,
and the material will bo ground out in
fust Older.
Mr. .las. Huffman, who has had
Ben Mache's ranch rented for the past
year, lias moved to union aim we near
iie will soon go to Malheur county and
engage extensively in the stock busi
ness. Jim. is a progressive boy and
will succeed, no doubt.
The green grass growcth, the gentle
stream flowoth, the lazy cow lowoth,
for all that and all that; tho bedbug
creepeth, the young sheep lcapeth,
the old women wecpoth because it is
too dry to plant onions. Some occa
sional showers have fallen lately, but
for this time of tho year tho ground is
very dry.
Eastern Oregon is tho placo to stay
after all. It is not booming itself into
popularity, it is not advertising itself
into fame, nor is it misrepresenting its
real and substantial merits. People
find it quiet, but busy, full of life, but
steady. No great booming schemes
arc on foot, hut it'steadily grows and
gains in wealth, gains in the qualities
of a lasting and well founded homo
country.
Miss Elizabeth Ashby, of this placo,
is visiting her sister, Mrs. Gorman, in
Baker City. Miss Ashby is noted as
being the only single girl of any ago
now left in tho district. Only a very
few years ago wo could boast of having
tho gayest, jolliest and largest number
of girls of any placo of our magnitudo
in tho country, but Jfynien has en
snared them all in his army of house
keepers. Time will bring about
changes.
J'ylc canyon is a legendary place.
Tho cliffs and canyons that skirt its
edges arc alive with old and mystical
stories of long gono years; of immi
grant and Indian battles, of hunters
and trappers, of hard times that over
look the frontiersman, and of many
otlior fanciful and queer legends.
Somo time it may be, jf tho columns
of Tub Scout arc open to such, somo
lucky pen may trace out a few frag
ments of these old and time-worn bits
of love and put a tinge of ink on tliein.

Mrs. Mayotte, who has been sick for
a long time, we are glad to state, is
slowly improving.
Mr. Wm. Wilkinson nought of Rtis
sel it Co. Portland, a sixteen horso
power engine for his saw mill, to take
the place of water power.
The farmers are all getting in their
crops and the frequent showers are
getting the ground quite wet, a cer
tain forerunner of a good crop.
Nathan Swager has bought of Har
lan Stewart the Cates ranche, consist
ing of 570 acres. Prico paid, $7,000.
He has f)72 acres of farm and pasture
land in High valley.
J. Q. Shirley has mtrchascd the
Stanton ranche and the old 1 lender -
shott place, together making 1G00
acres llehasaneyo single to busi -
ness and that is for the advent of tho
Hunt rail road. Ho is on tho subsidy
for $5,000.
The Wilkinson Bros, will drive thoir
stock out of their tulo ranche tho 1st
of April. They aro feeding 150 head
of cattle and 40 head of horses. They
have 1G0 acres iu the tulo ranche anil
830 of farm and pasture land in High
valley.
This is the timo of tho year when
tho traveling tree agent is among the
farmers, eloquently talking tho tree
from tho fiberous roots to tho rosy
fruit, specimens of which ho usuallv
carries with him in magnifying jars.
increiore, tanners, beware of his sil
very tongue and gilded chroinos.
Patronize your homo nurserymen and
your home merchants and thereby
never get swindled.
The good farmer is he who conducts
his business as docs every good busi
ness man in other, departments of
labor. So wo thought as we rodo over
Mr. George Ames' Uilo rancho where
he is feeding 450 .head of cattle and
2S0 head of horses. He has some lino
imported horses and several head of
Short Horn cattle. Mr. and Mrs.
Ames hold title to :i,500 acres of land,
about all under fence. This includes
a largo tract of farm and pasture land
in High valley. Nobody can wish any
of those good people, wo have made
mention of, aught but good luck.
If ever anybody is deserving of a
good tar and feathering, that person is
the gossiper and talo bearer. A liar is
bad enough, but a talo bearer is one
of the most despicable of God's crea
tures. In his person, no man or wo
man's reputation is safe a moment.
A breath from such whited sepulchres
is sufiicient to tarnish oven falsi! v
itself. Ono often wonders, at times, at
the loss of this, that or the other friend
and finds that it is owing to somo dev
lhsh talo niado out of whole cloth and
containing about as much truth as ono
would expect to hear from tho devi
himself. Homes have been niado des
olate, friends separated and manv
heart sorely wounded by thy uninton

EniTon Scout:
Surrounded by hills, mountains and
tho towering pine, I writo you my first
letter descriptivo of what 1 havo teen
and am now seeing. Although I cun
1 j ft y-
uaio my resilience in uregon awav
back into the "fifties," I can truly say
that I never have known half the
value to bo placed upon Oregon and its
productions. Although Oregon has
been prolific of painters and poets,
and some of no mean pretensions,
among whom I can number Judge
Miller, the poet of the Sierras, who
first unchained his oxcontric horso in
Canyon City, Grant county, its word
painters and its politicians and states
men, their eyes and voices, seem to
have been closed when the marvelous
beauties of its natural scenery cavo
ample opportunity for their brightest
efforts, i have seen paintings of Cal
ifornia, rock and hills and the over
restless ocean which laves our own
shores as well as hers, but tho tall and
waving pines of inland Oregon, which
in many places, us iu this, shade and
shadow the richest of mineral deposits,
fail to inspire tho brush or voice. It
is only when tho poorly paid an un
appreciated newspaper man "holds
converse with Nature's charms" and
unrolls its beauties and bountiful gifts
that wc read of its lavish distribution
to our denizens. While gazing at tho
denso forest which everywhere sur
rounds mo and hides beneath an end
less shude such vast deposits of glitter
ing gold, us this region contains I am
surprised that the foot of tho prospect
or over found its way hither.
But dropping from these genorali-
every descripsion, en
ties and speculations, 1 will venture
the assertion that nowhere since the
fabulous era of California's gold dis
coveries, has thcie been found lienor
and more extensive mines of gold than
arc hero in and around Cornucopi.i, in
Union county. It is, too, not out of
humanity's reach, but iu a civilized,
thickly settled and fertile region.
Tho products of the soil nre variolic
and abundant. "Wood, water and
grass" is everywhere.
It is truly a miner's paradise. I can
see no drawbacks no discouraging
aspect no clouds to dim tho horiion.
Its accessibility adds to its charm.
Taking the stage in Union at m in
the morning you are in (he "horn of
plenty" at tho samp hour in tho even
ing, and when only thirty miles out
you strike the Sanger mill and mines
which even tho Baker City journals
chronicle as shipping, a row weeks
ago, seventy thousand dollars in gold
bullion. 1 here are iwr. mines
are discovered and undiscovered,
avocation of the prospector is

1 strike himself rich and all the while
live in a land of plenty and comfort,
while the school bell chimes melodi
ously with tho whistlo of the quartz
mill and rattling of stamps.
Tho town of Cornucopia was laid
out in the fall of lb'85, tho first mines
having been located in tho fall of that
year. It was named, after tho old Ne
vada town of Cornucopia, by W. R.
Usher, familiarly called "Uncle Bill"
Usher. Mr. Usher, Sam Senor and
Geo. Bolles. old Tuscaroms, now own
valuable mines named the "Comet"'
"Way Up" and "George," which are
held way up 'in tho thousands, with
the prospect of a salo during the com
ing sumnior.
Allentown lies below and adjoining
Cornucopia, and was laid out by some
parties second comers who were too
late to get their choice of lots in Cor
nucopia. In both places thero are in
tho vicinity of two hundred houses,
many of which aro now vacant, but
present indications aro that in two
months timo they will be mostly occu
pied. Lumber, delivered, is from $17 to
.$20 per thousand. All vegetables and
farm products are oheap and abun
dant. In Cornucopia thero is ono hotel,
kept by Mr. Nicholson, three stores,
threo saloons, and one public hull and
school house. Pino creek runs through'
the center of tho town and southerly
through a rich and thickly settled ag
ricultural valley. Trout are abundant
in tho creeks, as also in a lako situa
ted six miles from Cornucopia. Tho
timber is tho black, yellow and bull
pine. Some of tho trees aro 120 feet
high and from 3 to 7 loot in diamotor
at tho butt. This town, almost exclu

your correspondent hud frequent con
versation with mining meu about

about gold, and here thoy can find it.
I can assert and you can safely pub
lish that out of a thousand locations
in this district, there is not one which
will not mill two dollars .per ton, and
from that up in the hundreds, hi
Grass valley, Cal., mines pay dividohds

readers may form somo idoa Of tho ex

To Hiionro Immigration.
A writer in a Portland paper says tho
truo way to secure Immigration and make a

a fair price nml cut up great farms into
small ones. Tho money to bo made hero in
Oregon by agricultural pcrsuits cannot bo
niado by trying to farm on a large scale but
by selling offland in small tracts, especial
ly land that is located near towns, orsulted
for fruit growing. Quo man can make mon
ey off twenty aero because ho can do much
or most of it without hiring, and by the
gardenlnj,', small fruits and orcharding,
his crops will bo of the remunerative kind.
