AN INTERESTING LETTER.
Robert F. Hynd Favors the
Gazette With Details of
His Trip to Scotland.
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

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

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

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.
