How to Reach This
Mail ServiceThe Residents
Other Matters.
A BOUT twenty miles southwest of
Heppner, as the crow flies, is
Gooseberry Springs. It's a more familiar
spat to East Oregoninns than is Pike's
Peak to the denizens of Colorado. Friend,
if you would visit this cbarmiug portion
of mother earth, let me tell you on the
quiet how to reach it.
Don't listen to the blarney or direc
tions uf anybody, but go right past the
Palaoe hotel, on the west side of the
street, and follow the main traveled road.
I caution you to keep the west aide of
the street, to avoid some newspaper men,
who have staked out a claim juat i.o-
yond the livery stable. They will offer
unsolicited counsel as to the best route
to Gooseberry c-prings.or any other place
that you desire to reach. Tuke my word
lor it, they know absolutely nothing
about geography especially Morrow
county. I followed their directions and
was two weeks, to a day, reaohiug the
"dpriugs." How many times 1 longed
for the fabled crow to fly away with me
or eat np the slow horse, or smash the
blanked oart. Not expecting to roturn
for a few days, I found it necessary to
order some tobacco by telegraph. It
came by mail after awhile. The next
time, I am in a hurry for touaooo, I shall
plant it, as I am sutisfied it oau be ruised
from eight tu twenty hours sooner than
it will reach Gooseberry from Heppner
by mail.
The road to Gooseberry is lined with
freighting teams, loaded with wheat from
the great gruin belt.
At the spring, situated on the north
side of a large hill, where the cool water
has for years bubbled up, to refresh man
and beast, the eye meets with a grand
panorama. As far as one can see there
are evidences or. a Duay, prosperous,
favored farming oommunity. The bright
yellow stubble, glistening in the sun,
contrasted with the hundreds of acres of
rioh black soil reoently turned and so
full of promise. As I stood and looked
over the grand garden plain bern 1110
the dim outlines of the magnificent
hornus that will, like Cadmus' troops,
spring from the earth next autumn, when
Ceres will sit in peace beside the bub
bling spring and offer to the world the
treasure of golden grain that will be
harvested in the pretty valley below. It
will be a grand transformation. It will
be a season of jubilee. For who, in all
the land, will not rejoice to see the orowu
ing act in this great melo drama of rurui
life. Surely, any one who knows even a
little of the hardship, the struggle, the
privation, the battle waged by this hardy
band ot toilers for emancipation from
puverty and the acquisition of sufficient
nieuus to erect a comfortable home
where the pursuit of happiness can be
realized in its entirety, will involuntarily
join in the universal anthem of gladness.
War loses mnoh of its weird and repug
nant trappings when waged for a home.
Toil loses much of its puin when, in the
burden and beat of the day, we reali.e
that a price must be paid far anything
worth having, and that each day's weary
ending marks a mile stone nearer the
goal of happiness for every man, a home
adorned and surrounded and supplied
with all the embellishments of modern
civilization.
But to our story of what the farmers
are doing to verify and warrant tnia
speculation. The first ranch in the val
ley below Gooseberry Spring - though
why it is called Gooseberry Spring is a
mystery. In my verdant fancy I had
pictured it one vast jungle of gooseberry
budhes, growing to suoh extravagant
heights that their tall gre3n tops almost
touched the clouds in the blue, vaulted
hoaveus, that the people lived upon
gooseberries and the women adorned
their bodies with no other raiment tbnu
leaves, as did our eccentric great-great-great-grandmother,
live, long ago.
The brightest fancies of youth are
bound to Buffer, aud it 1 tax your patience
longer, I surely will suffer, with you.
TALKING ABOUT FARMING,
Mathiiia Kelly says he has a quarter-section
of good land with 80 acres in crop.
Average, wheat, 25 ; hurley, 43; will sum
mer-fiillow 40 acres; has a nice youpg
orchard, and raised an extra crop of
I pota oca lavt year. He citiuo from llig
Stone Gup, Va., and intends to reiuniu
here.
W. P. SNYIlKK

health. Perry is an invalid. I itoptaxl

over night with him. He eats well,
smokes some and snores so strong that
you have to kick yourself into the sen
sibility that you are not in that bourne
from which no traveler returns, so terri
ble is the noise. Tes, he is an iuvalid.
He has been here in the state 28 months,
has taught school 21 months, and during
vaoatiou traded horses, ot ats or auything
else uutil he has acquired title to (SiO
acros of land, niaely situated; has 80
acres in cultivation; sod orop last year,
wheat, 20, barley, 35. Perry is a good
sohool teacher, good host, but as an iu
valid he is n. g.
AUGUST CHARLESTON
Owns a square mile of land, with 280 in
cultivation ; had an average of 37)4'
bushels of wheat per acre last year; oats,
40 bushels; has 150 acres already sown
tu grain; will summer-fullow 100 auras
Mr. Charleston is a thorough farmer, a
great worker and a good entertainer. He
is a thorough master of vocal musio, aud
his services are much sought in this re
spect.
FRANK M. HOLMRH
Was seated on one of those little red
wagons, drawn by six flue horses, with
two plows stowed away under the trucks,
Ho is farming 320 acres 230 in cultiva
tion; average wheat orop, 35 bushels;
barley, 25; will aoed 120 acres; summe
fallow 100 acres. Frauk is a clever
farmer, and seems to be prospering. He
believes there will be a good crop and is
liberal in all things.
FLEMING UUOS.
Own 610 aorea, 125 in cultivation, aver
aga wheat orop, 2U; barley, volunteer, 12
oats, volunteer, 15; will seed 80 acres
sumiiier-f allow ft) and break 150.
T. F. BARTON
Owns 400 aores; 175 in cultivation; fall
seeding, 35; sod orop, 10; barley, 30;
volunteer barley, 15; hay, i tons per
aore; will summer-fallow 130. lias an
abundant supply of water aud drives a
fine team before a big gang plow. Looks,
acts and talks like a worker.
It was my purpose to publish n key to
this series of artiules, if they ouuid bo
oalled such, fur the benefit of some
olever fellows that live not fur away, and
here let me state that if there are any
anxious Souls kept awake nights by the
reckless manner in which figures are
handled in this work, let them be n
mind that the law allows any man who
can furnish satisfactory evidence of bo
iug a worker, lo rent all the land ho
wuuts. My friends up on the bill had a
fit, and oame near stepping in it because
some one claimed title to l(i0 acres of
land, was going to seed 120 acres and
break 120 more. My benighted brother
oould see it, but couldn't see into it,
This kind of work is fun; if you don t
think so, follow me ten minutes. See
how, like a Frenoh dancing muster,
approach the farmer when ho oomes to
this end of semi-occasional excursion
route. "Ksteemed sir, are you interested
in larmitig?" "No, I donk I vill got no
fanning mills. I haav got not so much
use for fanning null. Veil I haav pretty
muoh good crop I haav vou last years."
"When you get to Skager Ko.tk pause
lung enough for me lo inform you that I
am the representative of the Semi-Weekly
Gazette, of Iieppner," etc. When the ma
chine stopped the poor SvensKy in a for
eign land was dead, but not by violence,
lie was simply talked to death.
JOHN JOHNSON
Has a pleasantly situated farm of 320
acres, 100 acres iu cultivation; average
orop 'ttBt year, 20 bushels; will seed 7
sores; will break and siiminer-fiillow 40

working man, lias a oosy home, a good,

the people that read certainly have lots
of chances to pick up snaps.
