Ennon Oukoon Scout: As many of my friends that I left m Union requested mo to write back to them, I think that I can interest- them as well by sending a few lines by the way of your paper, us to write to seperate individuals. It may not be worth my whilo to say much of what 1 saw on my way from Union to Portland for I presume the scenes I beheld have alo been seen by many of the Unionites time- and again, yet, perhaps I noted some things that some others did not. Wo passed Meaeham at 10:55, Oct. (3th, passed through the tunnel at exactly 11:00 a. m. 1 observed that the train ran toward every point of the compass on the down grade. Tho scenery was monotonous and could not be called grand. For a long distance at out right was dry and nearly barren hills, whilo at our left was a dense forest of timber anil brushwood with but little of the picturesque to interest tho vision. That I noted most sublime and brought to mind tho illimitable eyes of the planet on which we dwell, was the difWent strata or formations that presented themselves to view along the mountain sides to the right ., i; . ! as we neami tno reservation, rui quite a distance I could tee tho differ ent formations that marked tho diiVercnt ages of the earth as strata after strata could bo seen in the crop pings of each age or epoch of time. For miles I could sec eight continuous markings at about equal distance above each other. Length of time of each formation none can tell. The Ecenory across the prairie was not very interesting. Not much but grass, short, dry and sere. Much of the way on either side was only prairie away in tho distance till tho vision reached tho horizon. Wo arrived at Pendleton at ono o clock p. m. and stopped twenty minutes for dinner, I, feeling very much like doing justico to most anything in tho eatable line, took in a fair amount of hot coiTee, cake and beans and topped ofl with sugar as is my wont. Pendle ton hnB an older look than I expected. I saw considerable shrubbery and fruits but the beauty of then was spoiled by tho dust and sterility that surrounded tho place. I noticed a vast number of tacks of grain in the neighborhood of Pendloton but could not see any farm land that wo passed through. As we passed down tho Umatilla 1 noticed the hills wore largoly composed of shell rock that in many places had crumbled oil" in great heaps at tho base. About tho next that was worthy of note, (if I may bo allowed tho expression) waH tho sand along tho Columbia river, and hero night closed in on all sur roundings and wo passed down tho river in d.irkness. At 11 :10 p. m. we arrived at Portland and stoppetl for tho balance of tho night. I will not suv more now, hut will tell in my next of somo thiuga I h:iw in Portland und after wo loft tlioro. li. 0.

One of the most famous of these women is Nanettn Daisy, a finely educated and beautiful woman of thir ty, who was tho leader of a score or j more of woman boomers having their! hand-quarters in Indian Territory, j Xannetta had been a school-teacher ! and a newspaper writer, and miswd 1 by but one vote being State librarian of ICentueky. At the head of her Amaxon company of boomers she took up a claim near Edmunds, ono of tho best in the country. This claim was contested by a railroad engineer, the contest terminating in a shooting match. Both wore slightly wounded, but public opinion was in favor of tho woman. A sqattcr jury placed her in possession anil warned tho man to leave the country. Catherine Labour icr Dallas, a modern Lucrctia Borgia in temper and known as Sorrel Kato from her red hair and her custom of riding a sorrel hor&e, is another fam ous boomer. She shot a "tenderfoot" for too much familiarity, and no 'man dared molest tho claim of tho "red headed terror from Texas." Protty Pearl Younger, tho daring daughter of notorious Hello Starr, is a beautiful vision to bo met at the boomer-camps, dressed in light corduroy trousers, with a neglige shirt, open at the throat, a white sombrero on her head, and a col lection of pistols in her bolt. She killed a man in defenso of her property and tho rough boomers formed a pha lanx about her, through which no oflt cer dared brink. Miss Nellie Bruce lo cated her claim, built it home, or, rath er, dug one out in the side of a hill on the site where her father's lie uso had been burned by Indian scouts, and, surrounded by a couple of dogs and a llock of chickens, sho held her ground alone against the enemy until tecent ly, when she surrendered to tho mayor of Oklahoma and became his wife. Argonaut. A Cure For Dlptherla. Should you or any of your family bo attacked with dipthoria, do not bo alarmed, it is easily and speedily cured without a doctor. When it was raging in England a few years ago I accom panied Dr. Field on his rounds to wit ness tho so-called Wonderful cures ho performed while tho patients of others were dropping on both sides. The remedy is so rapid it must bo simple. All ho took with him was powdered sulphur and a quill and with these ho cured every patient without exception. Ho put a teaspoonfull of Hour of brim stone in a wineglass of water, and stirred with his linger instead of a spoon, tho sulphur does not readily amalgamate with water. When tho sulphur was well mixed ho gavo it as a gargle, and in ten minutes the patient was out of danger. Brimstone kills eyery species of fungus in man, beast and plant in a few minutes. Instead of spitting out the gurgle, ho recom mends the swallowing of it. In ex treme cases, in which he had been called just in tho nick of lime, when tho fungus was too nearly closed to allow the gargling, ho blew tho sul phur through a quill into tho throat; and after tho fungus had shrunk to allow of it, then tho gargling. He never lost a patient from diphtheria. If a patient cannot gargle take a live coal, put it on a fchovol and sprinkle a spoonful or two of Hour of brimstono upon it; let the sulluror inhalo by holding his head over it. Bolfast (lro land) Witness. Burning out The Dovll. Tho Chinese of Portland on last Thursday closed their harvest festival, which lasted sovoral weeks, tho princi pal feature being tho "burning out" of the devil from tho houscH of all who can afford to pay lor it. Tho cere mony consists of a screeching noiso by a Chinese band, tho burning of papers, numerous candles of various colors and shapes and a lot of religious kow-towing by tho participators. The Oregoniun is a highly respected news paper among tho Ohineso of Portland and they porfonncd tho coremony of burning the devil out of the Orogonian ollko in the afturnoon.

Ennoit OuKiiox Scour: "Representative Mills", said an alliance man who strongly believes in the free coinage of silver, "has, wheth er intentionally or not I cannot say, practically made tho question of whether a free coinage bill shall be passed by tho coming House of Rep resentative!! an issue in tho speaker ship campaign." "How?" ho was asked. "Why, by stating that ho had be come convinced that nothing practical in tho way of silver legislation could bo accomplished by the next congress. That statement I tako to mean that Mr. Mijls has mado up his mind that in the event of his being elected Speaker of the House ho will so make up tho membership of tho Houso Coinage Committee that no freo coin- ago bill can bo reported to the House. This statement may gain Mr. Mills some votes, but, mark my words, un less ho repudiates it before tho demo cratic caucus is hold he will certainly bo defeated for tho speakership nomi nation." Tho impression hero seems to bo that tho result of the Ohio election will determine the position of all tho speakership candidates on tho freo coinage question, tho belief being that if Campbell is elected it will mean a triumph for tree coinago and that all of tho candidates will promise to assist in having a free coinago bill passed by tho House. On tho other hand should Campbell bo defeated, freo coinago is to be put aside by thorn all for tho time being, on the ground that it can wail. Mr. Mills, who has just re turned from Ohio, where ho made speeches for his parly, which is run ning on a freo coinago platform, is now proparing to go to Massachusetts to speak for his party, which is there running on an anti-free coinago plat form. Verily politics is a queer trade. Fred. Douglass, ex-minister to Hayti, has given the politicians something to talk about, It had been assumed over since Douglass retired irom tno diplomatic service under circumstances which mado it fair to infer that ho did so under compulsion, that ho was against Harrison, and some peoplohad gone so far as as to say that ho was to lead tho negro opposition which was to frighten 'the republican national convention into dropping Harrison, if ho did not voluntarily rotiro from tho raco before tho convention met. Now Douglass has, in the courso of a lecturo on Hayti, taken occasion to announce that ho is for Harrison's re nominutiou, and in the muno lecturo he hinted that it was in his power to show tho Molo St. Nicholas afliair in a light that would reflect no credit upon Mr. Blaino. The politicians aro ask ing each other what this means. Although the committeo which passed upon the credentials of tho delegates to tho Methodist Ecumeni cal Conference now in session hero did not admit a single woman it was made evident in a discussion of tho subjoct "Woman's Work in the Church", that tho almost unanimous sentiment of that body is in favor of lotting woman occupy whatever Hold in tho church, even to tho pulpit itself, that sho may prove herself capable of (ill "-v i - ing. As tho conference has no legis - lativo functions, this sentiment will not ..... I i a .f ! mg lativo ell'oct tho present status of women in tho Methodist church, although its moral effect may become apparent in this country later on. Reciprocity is enjoying another big boom, it being stated hero that an agreement has been reached with the government of (iormany whereby American wheat is to be given free entry Into that country in return for our locolving (Jonnany's beet sugar fruo of duty. Tho Migar already comas in free, but under tho niolpro- thu prwldonl is given authority to ro store the duty whlah oxUted before the puMttgo of that Hut Upon the pro lu. u of any country which MM lo enter into a reciprocity agreement ad mitting some American product o: product free of duty. It w- t escape this danger that (lerni.iny h.i nirn-ed to admit our wheat I'm- i although the failure of her own gr.u; ! crop and the desire to make American j wheat as cheap ns possible to the coii I sumers of that country doubtle ul- had great weight with the (ierma-i othcials. However, the impnrtutP thing is that it opens an iinmedi.il" market for ono hundred million bushels of American wheat, and that wo have the wheat to sell. The Italian government has not resumed diplomatic relations with us. hut it has had the good sens-e to see that the restrictions which it placed upon tho importation of American pork are, in view of the fact, that ever carcass now bears the guarantee of this government as to its purity, en tirely needless, and it has decided to remove them. Score another point for "Uncle Jerry" Uusk and his meat inspection law. .1. H. C. COVE CULLINUS. Work on tho new church is pro gressing nicely,.lho cupola being near ly complotcd. A. J.
