Over heights of snow aud in Hoods of rain,
Over desert wastes anil golden grain
With never a pause by day or night -Like
a wild bird lired with n sudden fright,
Or n prairie tire when the grass Is w hitc
And drv with long, long weeks of sun ;
Knch throat burst forth with a manifold
Wild strain of the wondrous title of Gold!
At morn at noon when the day was done
The furrowed forchends throbbed and boat,
The old forms burned in a fever hent,
A rush, n'rumble, n tramp of feet
Told tales of going with speed and haste
O'er sen and mountain and desert waste
To the Woudrous, Fabulous Ijind of tlold
Where the river has kept, for years untold,
Hid in the glittering sand of her breast
The treasure anil gem of the Infant West
Down by the Sncremento!
What does the night owl say to herniate
As she looks from their desolate homo at night
On a idle of bones nil blanched and white
That n hungry coyote gnawed of lute?
The blenching bones of the desert tell
How many a hero fought and fell
And died alone in that savage laud
Where owls like desolate vigils stand !
Whnt does the sea of the tropic say
As it dunces over its bed of Isiues
And sings in its old accustomed wny,
With never n break In Its monotones?
It snys to the years that the hentcd brenth

And sealed the doom of the gallant band

FROM AMTELOPE.
ANTELOfK, November 14, 1S91.
Mrs. Wm. Catcs is visiting relatives
in Vancouver.
There is a force of men employed at
Telocaset now preparing snow fences
for winter.
Why not have a starch factory in
Union, as well as a woolen mil? Then
we will all raise potatoes.
Wheat sold in Garfield, over in the
Palousc, on Nov. 11th for 81 cents a
bushel. Quite a contrast between the
prices there and in Union county.
The farmers' alliance was nowhero
in the late elections. In Kansas it
was snowed completely under. Ten
out of eleven alliance candidates for
district judges in the state were de
feated. The republicans carried 85
out of the 110 counties in tho state by
overwhelming majorities. As a busi
ness organization it would become a
power in the land, but as a political
party Never!
The Fraziers have over five miles of
rail fencing around their Antelope
land. The boys, with Charles Hinck
ley, started a regulation shaft on the
ore body in The Bello of Antelope
quartz prospect last week and sunk it
down in hard blasting quartz eight
feet. They have the foot wall, com
posed of porphyrv and lime, but no
hanging wall as yet. They camo up
out of the shaft and ran a surface cut
twelve feet east of tho foot wall, all in
hard, solid quartz, and still no hanging
wall. The boys will put a shaft house
over it and sink off and on all winter.
Glancing over the enormous docket
for the coming term of court in last
week's county papers brought to my
recollection the changes that time and
prosperity mako in a people. The
bulk of names on the docket are old
timers who in years gone by never
thought of settling their grievances in
the courts, but left them to arbitration.
In those days there were only two
lawyers in Union county, the Hon.
James H. Slater and Cage Baker, and
they would have starved to death if
they had not gone to farming. Now
look at the lawyers; they arc thicker
than Hies in Bummer around a mo
lasses hogshead, and all making mon
ey ofl of the people. I can't account
for it in any other way than that the
same men who a few years ago would
not law, have now become purse-proud
and arrogant. Some of them act like
little children, with new playthings,
jrith their law suits. If a man's hog
nowadays crawls under the fence into
his neighbor's field, ninety-nino
chances in a hundred the neighbor
rushes off to town and sues for dam
ages, to the great delight and satisfac
tion of the lawyers. However, there
is one satisfaction about it to sensible
people: These chronic litigants of
Union county 'generally have to pay
high for their playthings.
Thanksgiving is at hand the season
of family reunions but one of our
Antelope families lias anticipated tho
happy day, Mrs. John Cates, after an
absence of more than a year visiting
friendB and relatives in Missouri, re
turned homo last, week with her two
ohildron, in good health und spirits.
You may ho suro that day was tho

day to Friday evening. The house
was crammed with her friends and
dancing and merriment was kept up
till dewy morning. It was f7i party
of the season and will long bo remem
bered for its hearty good fellowship.
Among those present were Mr. and
Mrs. Geo. Thompson, Mrs. Mary Tom

merous others whose names 1 did not
learn. 1 can't attompt to write up the
toilets. One young lady informed me
that hers was Irish poplin, with
tlounces, furbelows, outriggers, down
hulls, back-stays, etc., etc., and she
said too, as she whirled round for my
inspection, "it is cut bias." If any
body knows what cut bias means thoy
know more than I. However, cut
bias or cut any way you like, tho
gown was beautiful, and so was tho
wearer, and the party a grand success.
Mr. and Mrs. Catcs were indefatigable
in their oflbrts to entertain their
guests, and all left wishing them a
long life of health, peace and prosperi
ty, in which wish your correspondent
most sincerely joins.

WASHINGTON.
Our Weekly Letter From
the Xiitional Capital.
OPINIONS OF THE RESULT.
Tho Speakership Contest Growing Warm 1
McKinley and Boies for j
President.
Editor Ohkoon Scout:
Everything elso is secondary in im
portance to the stato elections, in
Washington, this week. Wherever
you go nothing elso is talked about
and to hear some of the talk ono would
imagino that the presidential cam
paign had already opened. Ono most
remarkable thing about tho results aro
that, as a whole, everybody looks upon
them as encouraging to "our side."
President Harrison regards the election
of McKinley as a great administration
victory, and savs if Fassct had made
his fight upon national instead of lo
cal issues that ho beliovcs ho would
have been 'olected ; tho democrats re
gard the election of democratic gov
ernors in Now York, Massachusetts
and Iowa as a great triumph and tho
certain precursor of u greater triumph
next year, while President Polk and
Secretary Macunc, of tho National
Farmer's Alliance, regard the whole
business as an Alliance triumph. Says.
Mr. Maouno : "Tho outcome in Ohio is
a victory for u's, and it will teach tho
democrats that they cannot got along
without us. They havo been so accus
tomed to carry every thing befcro them,
in Some of these states, that thoy havo
ignored us, and now thoy see tho con
sequences." Col. Polk said : "Tho re
sult has no bearing whatovor upon tho
Alliance movement and will not affect
it in tho least. Ono thing aloilo is ab
solutely certain tho Alliance will
stand for its demands, and will keep
up an aggrcssivo light until they are
complied with." So much for the
opinions of the big guns in all tho par
tics. Now, betweon us, your corres
pondent, after a careful survey of the
field, fails to seo whero anybody has
any right to do any extraordinary
amount of hurrahing over tho results,
as applied to national politics. It
amounts simply to what tho boys used
to call a "Stand ofl'," and the light
next year is just as uncertain as it was
boforo tho elections.
Secretary Proctor has gono cast, and
it is said at tho war department that
ho has practically retired, having
turned overything over to Assistant
Socretary Grant, and that ho will prob
ably not return to tho department un
til ho comes to turn it over to his suc
cessor, whoso appointment is not
looked for so vcral weeks, although it is
certain that the roan has beon selected
and that ho has accepted, but his namo
is still a well-kept accrot. Elkin con
tinues a favorite with the guessers.
Representative Mills is tho first ono
of the speakership candidates to "shy
his castor into tho ring" by formally
opening headquarters for tho short and
sharp campaign which is now opening
and which will end when tho dem
ocratic caucus of tho House of Repre
sentatives shall decide who shall be
speaker for tho next two years. The
friends of Mr. Mills recognizo that tho
result of the elections, particularly in
Ohio, has been to weaken the prestige
of their man, although they boldly
arguo to tho contrary. Tho new mem
bers will begin dropping in soon to tako
their shares in tho excitement of nom
inating the man who will practically
control tho legislation of the next
Houst of Representatives, thereby
becoming a powerful factor in tho pres
idential campaign of next year, and
as the most of them aro as yet un
pledged their arrival js most anxiously
awaited by the several candidates and
their friends. Tho feeling between tho
supporters oi Mills and those of Crisp
is becoming moro bitter Tory day, aud
if something is not done by somebody
to put a stop to their wrangling neither
of them will ho Bpeaker. Tho less
prominent candidates do not object to
this throat-cutting, as it adds materi
ally to their ohunces of securing tho
prio.

to New Orleans to meet his wife and
family and bring them to this city, and
it is also noticeable as an indication of
the pleasant, relation existing between
tho minister and Secretary Blaine that
Mr. Blaino requested the treasury de
partment officials to telegraph tin- col
lector of customs at Now Orleans to
extend the usual courtesies to the
minister's wife and family and to pass
their personal e fleets free. The fact
that a brother of the minister will
probably be elected president of Chili
in a few days makes the friendship of
tho minister a powerful factor toward
an amicablo settlement between the
two countries.
Ohio republicans here aro already
talking of Mclvinley for president and
western democrats say that Boies, of
Iowa, will certainly be a candidate for
the democratic nomination.
Secretary Rusk jocosely proposes
that tho administration shall get ovou
with Massachusetts by restoring the
duty upon hides. Even if tho admin
istration had the power it could not lo
done without upsetting the reciprocity
agreomont with Brazil and preventing
the complotion of several others ready
to bo announced. .7. H. C.
The New Ballot Law.
A great many peoplo are unacquain
ted with tho new ballot law which will
bo in voguo in this county next June,
also at tho coming election in this city
on tho first Monday of next month.
For the benefit of our readers we will
print tho following rules governing
tho same:
On going to tho polls on election
tlay pass through tho door, and if chal
lenged swear in your vote or stand
aside. The necessary forms for affida
vits will be supplied by tho judges. If
not challenged, or after swearing in
your vote, pass on through tho railing
to tho voting booths.
When you enter tho election room
announco your name to tho judges
having the ballots, who will furnish
you with a proper ballot.
If you do not understand how to
mark your ballot ask tho election
judges. If you cannot road English,
or aro physically unable to mark your
ballot, tho two judges of opposite poli
tics will mark it for you, and on ro
quest will read over the names marked.
Go alone into bno of the unoccupied
booths and mark your ballot with a
black lead pencil or ink. If you wish
to voto a "straight ticket" mark tho
squuro in front or to tho left of the
title of your party at tho head of tho
ticket with a cross mark X. If you
wish to voto a mixed or "scratched"
ticket mark tho square to tho left of
the name of each candidate for whom
you wish to vote and be careful not to
mark tho cross mark X in front of the
candidate for whom you do not wish
to vote. If you desire to voto for a
person whose name is not printed on
any of tho tickets, writo tho name with
ink or black lead pencil in the space
under the oflico to bo voted for, and bo
sure and place a cross mark X to thfr
left of the name written.
If by accident you tear, mutilate,
defaco or spoil your ballot take it at
onco to tho judges from whom ydu re
ceived it, explain how the accident
occurred and ask for another ballot.
You aro allowed but three ballots in
all.
You aro allowed to uccupy a booth
but live minutes, in preparing your
vote.
Before leaving tho booth fold your
ballot so that all tho printing on the
back will bIiow, but so that no part of
tho face of tho ballot can bo seen.
When your ballot is marked and
folded come out of tho booth, and hand
tho folded ballot to tho judge of elec
tion, who will put it in the ballot box
in your presence. Then leavo tho
room.
When you havo voted,. and bofore
you start to tho polling place to vote,
remain 100 feet away from tho polls.
