Editor Qazbttb: Before leaving Heppner I promised to write yon on my arrival in Scotland, g;ring a abort ao count of my experiences orossing land and water a jnnruey of something over 7,000 miles. I joined tbe "Rock Island excursion" at Heppner Junction, taking a berth in tbeir sleeper, from whioh I was aroused about 7 o'olook next morn ing wltb tbe rcqnest to get up for break fast, as we were approaching Meecbam. Here in a handsome log structure on tbe summit of tbe Bine mountains. Old "Grandma Maura" superintends tbe O. R & N. dining rooms, and attends to tbe wants of bar patrons with tbe grace and agility for which sbe was fumed while holding tbe same position at tbe B uuy ville dining rooms some years ago. After satisfying tbe inner man we proceeded eastward, a heavy snow filling till we reaobed Huntington at 3 p. m. Tbe snow bad been bing in Idaho for some time and stuokmou were feeding along tbe line of railroad. During the day I met Wm. Rush and wife on tbe train. They were on their way east to visit friends in Nebraska and Ohio. Mr. Rush, who was in vary poor health at tbe lime be left Heppner, was looking well so well, in fact, tbat at first I did not recognize bim. Ae be went by the U. P. we parted company at Granger, and next morning we were at Ogden, on tbe Rio Grande Western railroad. About 9 a. m. we re aohed Halt Like City, and, having 12 hoars to wait wbiob I would state is arranged especially for tourists a oompany of six hired a rig and drove around the' oity, visiting the prinoipal places of interest. Tbe temple, taber naole, Brigbam Young's harems and other Mormon relics were among tbe places visited and proved very interest ing, but I will not attempt to desoribe them. The wide streets 132 feet with the beautiful shade trses, are the pride of Ball Luke, and justly bo, I think. Next day we passed through tbe famed Colorado scenery, ou the Dtnver, Rio Grande Western nd Denver & Liu Grande railways, including Gieuwood Springs, the Grand Canyon of tbe Col orado, Tennessee pass aud tunnel, L- nd villn, and, last but not least, the Royal Gorge, arriving at Colorado Springs at 8:40 p.m. Next mor.iing we were flIug through Kansas ou tbe Rook Island rood, and at about 2 p. m. orossed tbe Nebras ka line, arriving iu Omuha just before dark. We passed during the day some of the Quest faiuiiug land I have ever seen, and tbe corn fields b ire evi dence of a heavy yield. Farmers were still gathering tbeir oorn and did not appear to be prepared for tbe blizzard tbat struck them on tbe following dny. Large bauds of cuttle and sheep were being fed in Nebraska and perhaps some ot tbe oorral were tilled with Morrow oonnty muttons. They were apparently well contented with tbeir lot, which, were it not fur results, would be prefers ble to tbeir friends on the Oregon bills. Id Ioa we experienced a regular Western blizzard, but, though delayed, we were fortunate enough to escape the worst of it, and reached t bioago very little behind time. I wonld here highly reoommeud lbs Rook Island tourist oar, wbiob leaves Portlaud every Tuesday tor Boston. There is no change from Port land to Chicago, and Ihe or is under tbe supervision ot a speoial conduotor witb a very attentive oolored porter. Any one going East wbo wishes to enj iy com fort, bave good attendance and gaze on tbe grandest scenery in the world, by all means tHke tbe Rock Island excursion via Halt Lake and Denver. The time is arranged so tbat trains pass tbe grandest scenery by daylight; and stop-over priv ilegea are allowed at Denver and Halt Lake, if desired. Id Chicago I visited the warehouse of Silberman Bros., whose repraseotative, Mr. Frauk Johnson, has secured consid erable wool from Heppner on consign ment. The firm were not offering any of tbeir Oregon wools, believing tbat after Christmas prices would improve. Mr. Willey, well known to Morrow county growers, conducted me through their large warehouse and explained the dif ferent modes of bandliog the olipa from the Middle and Hxitherp States. Tbey do a large business in Ohio and Mich igan wools, and aomecf these were being sold at 19 to 21 cents. Tbe "Amerio o 8tool Breeder and Wool Grower," monthly paper witb several subscribers in Morrow oonnty, bus its office io tbe same baildlog aud I bad a very pleasant interview witb the editor, Mr. Buret) He kindly agreed to amilyztbe stornaeb of any sheep dying from tbe eiTnits of poison wbiob might be sent to him from Oregon, end by this means an antidote might be found wbiob would prove of great benefit to sheepman. This I think is worthy ot tbe consideration of the Morrow County Woolgrowei's Associa tion, a an antidote for the poison carry ing off so many of oar sheep eaoh year wonld bf worth tbonsaad ot dollar to tbe county. In tbe evening Mr. Willey and I at tended a theatre in the twenty first fl or ot tbe Masonic temple and after tbe per formance, took a promenaJe on t- p of what is beyond q'lf'Mioi tbe highest bnildiutf In the world. The air was H I emely chilly, tbe lhermQU)t?r on li street standing olose to zero, and we did not hesitate many minutes enjoying tbe birds-eye view of the Windy City by gas light. Before leaving Chicago tbe bliz zird, which evidently was traveling east ward, strnok the city, and it was more comfortable sitting by the hotel fire than out sight seeing. One must travel to realize the fact tbat "there are worse places than Oregou." The journey to New York, through Ohio and Pennsylvania, was without speoial interest, and Thanksgiving was spent on the road. New York was readied 21 hours before tbo departure of the steamer, but, asMe from a ran ap Broadway and a few hours in Brooklyn, I saw very little ot the city. What a hurry and exoitement there is on the dock before tbe sailing of a large steamer, when about 800 men, women and ohildren have to embark witb tbeir baggage iu the o mrse ot an hour. As is usual oo similar ocoasions, everybody waits till tbe lust miuute, and as lbs steamer, tbe Luoania, of tbe Ounard line, was booked to leave at 1 p. m.t it was very lively for an hour previous to that time. Tbe blizzard, whioh bad appar ently followed us from tbe Middle states, here put in its appearance, and after the mails were on board it settled down to snob a heavy snow fall that it was im possible to move the ship, as one could not see ten feel from Ihe vessel's side. About 3 o'clook it cleared ap a little and we moved from tbe dook, but hal not proceeded farther than Staten Island when the fog again oloaed down ou us and we oast anohor. Hare the wind gradually increased in foroe and by midnight it was blowiug a hurrioaoe with snow drifting fearfully. I never saw such a night in. Oregou. At diy- light a toot ot snow oivtind tbe decks and while tbe wind was still blowing a hnrrioane tbe snow bad o eased falling and tbe atmosphere was clear enough to nstify heaving the anchor and proceed ing to sea. I counted twelve steamers following us down tbe obannel, all hnv ing been delayed by tha fo, uo I, like ourselvss, taking tbe first opportunity to clear the river. As we passed C ney Island we oould see tbe upper stories of the fine hotels and summer pulaoas peer ing out of the biiow drifts quite a 0 in trant to the gay softies along this bc.uoh during tbe summer months. That the people ou shore were experiencing a severe blizznrd oould be Been from tbe deok ot the steamer, as at time the land scape was completely bid from view by the drifting suow, while on the tiver it whs perfectly clour. As we passed Sandy Hook and looked out ou the "foaming bi lows," it was oertaiuly not an enoi nr aging sight tor one "out on pleasure beut," or for one wbo dreaded ceasick uees. Tbe sea was a rating mass of foam, but the wind being from the west we did not experience tbe full foroe of tbe waves until ab ut 6 o'clook in the evening. During tbe afternoon tbe pas sengers were gradually disappearing oDd before dark only a tew ot tbe bo t sailors remained, and some of these myself amongst tbe number were "a little white about the gills." I managed to stay in tbe smoking room on tbe opper deck till about tnidoigbt, and, as the moon was shining brightly, notwith standing tbs burrioaue tbat wasblowing, the sight from tbe windows was one never to be foigotten. I bave since read in the diHpatohes that the storm was a reootd breaker on tbe New Eugland coast, and I am sure we got our share of it, Tbe Lucania steamed slowly through tbe greater part of the night, but next morning put on full steam and made an average of 500 miles per day during tbe remainder of the passage. One by one tbe passengers mane tbeir appearanueou dvok during the next few days, all look ing a little disfigured after their struggle with the demon, seasickness. Very few etCAped, and tbe Cuoard com pany's expense bill for passenger food for the first two days was very light, I was amongat tbs first to recover and I observed tbat at the eud ot two days very few Beats were occupied when sup per was aononnosd. The shaking np during the first few days appeared to dampen tbe spirits of the passengers daring the greater part of the voyaga, and wbile tbe weather was very moder ate tor the season of tbe year, all ap peared to think tbe weather was too rough to enjoy themselves, and oonsrt qnently all were glad when the coast of Ireland was sighted on S'ttnrday fore noon, just six days from tbe timo ws left Sandy Hook. We landed the Irish passengers and mails at Q leentown oo Haturday after noon, and lau led at Liverpool early ou Sunday morning. The mails were setit ashore on our arrival, but the passengers were detained till 8 o'tbek, at which time Ihe ciihIoids officers arrived and in spected our 'luggage before we could leave the ducks. We are trld by our free trade friends that England taxes uo imports, but let them attempt to land a trunk or v aline and they will fin a ens loms officer on band to examine their baggage. The principle articles subject to duly bers sre wines, whiskey, tobac co, cigar and perfumes, and tbeoflloer' search for these articles i thorough As no trains leava Liverpool for Hoot land on Sunday I was obliged to spend thai day in Ihe city, and early next morn ing started north, arriving la Dandie after an eight boars' ran.

BAKKU CITY'S CHANCE Far a Large Trade Is Being Lost to Heppntr and Pendleton, Long Cbbek, Oregon, Jan . 1, 1899. Evening Republican, Baker City, Ore gon. Dear Sir: Born and reared in tbe city of Baker, and still greatly interested in tbe future greatness of tbe thriving oily and the success of its wideawake business men, I deem it my duly at this moment to call tbeir attention, through the columns ot your widely oironlated j-mrual, to a matter tbat is of tbe great est importance to them. The subjnet to which I refer is au old one to the oitiziiiB of of Baker, viz: Grunt county trade. From observations the natural home of a three years' residence in Ibis county, I urn couvtneud that witb Ihe proper energy on the part of the right men to advance the interests of Baker City, nearly tbe entire trade of Grant oonnly oould be diverted from various other cities to the Q ieen City of tbe Inland Empire, tbe natural supply point for Canyou City and Susaoville, tbe leading placer and quartz mining camps of the county. It is beyond my powers of conoeption wby Heppner and Pendleton are allowed to draw to the ex tent tbey oertaiuly do, on the trade of these oamps, when tbs annual outlay of a few hundred dollars juiiioionsly ex pended in road repair would stop It. In a city situated as is Baker tbe question of good roads if too often overlooked, wbile in Granl county's interior towns tbey oommand the greatest attention, and freighters and others are willing to add a few miles to tbe length of their journey if they are assured tbe roads are passable. Pendleton keeps a man em ployed at an annual expenditure of about $600, on what is known as the Long Creek Pendleton rente and that tbe oity is well repaid for ber foresightedness in this respect is evidenced by the many freight wa ons constantly traveling this highway iloring tbe summer months. Iu conversation witb a gentleman re cently employed by one of tbs large min ing companies of Husanville, I am in formed that tbe wagon road leading from thai oamp to Austin is in a shameful condition, and almost Impassable during tbe whole year. The gentleman stated tbat tbe oompany by wbioh be was em ployed reoeived most ot their supplies over this road heretofore, but in the future would go to Pendleton, Is not this Husanville trade wortb looking after and protection? It certainly is. Hussn ville, it all reports are true, will within tbe new year become one of tbe leading oamps of Eastern Oregon, and will neoes arily require much machinery, provis Ions, dry goods, aud in faot, everything essential to the support of a great roin ing camp. Ioexperienoed a I am Id anoh matters, I would not attempt to suggest a remedy for tbe existing con ditions, but I am confident tbat tbere is a remedy, and it applied, a greal deal ot trade which annually adds to tha wealth of Heppner and Pendleton oould be se cured Io yon from Ibe towos and sur rounding oonntry of Hnsanville snd Canyon City.

Wbile tbe gloom of night waa being transplanted by tbe light of day aud just as paler shadows were giving place to tbat impenetrable blaoknesa whioh daring the night time oovers tha tropioal Psoitis like pall, we passed tbe grandest, most sublime speotaola whioh has so far oome within our rang ot vision. Awakened from tbe fitful 'lumber wbicb the oppressive atmoi ohere allows and urged from oat sleeping-plaoei by tha voice ot tbe first offloer orying, "Don't yon want to sea the volomoT" which at once caused cariosity to oh ass from oar over-heated braiua tbe last vestige of desire for sleep, we ranged ourselves along tbe port rail aud gave ourselves over to an hour's "robber-necking" at things which are new and strange and which in the half light seem weird and anaaony. Two miles off our weather bow, risinn apparently to a height ot 200 feet, bat in reality Io lo times tbat attitude, ia blaok, irregular cone, sharply outlined against the ooming dawn, from who summit a blood-red haze glows angrily. Lonesome and strange il looks all alone witb tbe rolling ooean upon every haud. One might almost imagine it to be tha finger at Satan pointing from tbe dees to warn tbe erring mariner that hell yawns beneath tbe sea and tbat all tha waters ot the earth cannot subdue its fires. Farallone de Oajaro is one ot tba Ladrones, tbe most outlying of tbem all, and is situated to tbe northward of tha priucipal group and is wholly of voloaoio origin. No reefs, no brakers, no beaob, no Boil surrounds this mid sea mountain and all its products are smoke and bird. No one oan live upon its sun baked, fire heated rooks and the ever present flare from its orater bas been an uninspiring menace to all explorers wbo would "climb the summit." Even as I write its smoking funnel tops tbe eastern horizon and the blazing sun rays drive me to tbe water barrel in a useless effort to find that oomfort which cannot be. In the fast increasing darkness, wbioh oonies so quiokly In tbe topics, I Bit be- neatii an awning, which by the blister ing net ion of tbe nn has been turned tbe color of brown paper, and, as tbe Q'ul cool breath ot the last 21 hours enters my nostrils, I think ot tbe over coated friends at home and long, if but tor one moment, to feel an ioiole dang liug from nose'a end or to bear tbe crisp, uew enow crunching beneath my feet. All things oome to bim who waits" and I sboald not marvel now lo see red heated water Ihe longer we wait tbe b itter it gets. Since leaving Hao Franotsoo enough bas happeued and been told lo me It pat in priul to make an Interesting novel, and bad I the skill and language, ooupled with sufficient paper and an abseuoeof tbe rolling motion lo tbe boat, it should be at least attempted. Curious character are there in profusion meu gathered from every oorner of tbe earth. Tbe dark-fuoed Chilian rebel messes on ibe deok with tbe pardoned South Afri oan veteran ot the Jameson raid; a bright yonog Englishman, deserted from tbe royal navy, sleeps beneath tbe aama blanket with the Irish-American, wbo oame to our oonntry to join tbe polica force, but wbo found a speedier market for his fighting proclivities at the re cruiting oflloe, and each adventurer ia bound for a new field io searob of ow adventurers. To eaoh ot these tbe tiog ot an angry bullet makes no nnkown mtisio, and to eaob it ia a toarce ot ex treme regret tbat we are "oarrying war" into an already conquered oonntry and are to fight onr battles wilb tbe elements and tbs mosquitos not tbe natives.

Tbe Times-Mountaineer, under dale of January 8d, says: When tbe regular freight arrived ber from tbe west at an early boar this morning, the yard man discovered tbera was some live freight in one of tbe oar.

They gave their names as Guy Cooney, Fred Matson and Martin Toomey, aod say tbeir parent re side io Albina. The story of bow tbey happened to be in the oar, If trae, ii rather exoiting,and their ride from Port laud here was a noyel and dnagreeabls tie, They were sweeping wheat out of . be ours lit the yard in Albina when -tome one c.iine along, locked tbe car door aud disappeared. Pretty soon tbeir oar was atluched lo a train and started n h j inrney, tbey know not where. They made all tbe noise they c mid, bat did not attract toe attentioo of any one nntil the train stopped at lbs yurd hers. Tbe little fellow suffered considerable from cold and were terribly frightened us tLey did not know where they were go ng or what would bee me of them. Marshal Lvi-r took tbe lads io ohsrgn, and gsvs them quarters at tbe oity jail, then telegraphed lo Ibeeblef of polios in Portland to honl np their parents and learn wh it they w.sbed dona with tha boys.
