FROM MOUNTAIN VALLEY Stock Suffering for- Feed How But. ter Creek Ws Named. . Mountain Valley, Dec. -19th, Editor Athena: Pbes3.1 Perhaps' some of your many readers may be interested in hearing something from this end of the county, form erly known as the "Potts," now generally known as Mountain Val ley. .Mountain Valley is - situated in the southwestern part of Uma tilla county, on the head waters of Butter Creek. This creek, was iso named during -the Indian war of 1856. The soldiers while stationed at this place received a lot of butter from The Dalles, which was jsent to the officers of the : company The officers not taking the proper pre caution with their cow-grease, left it unguarded and the private sold iers got into it and ate it up. Hence the name Butter Creek, , f ' Mountain Valley and surround ing vicinity, is strictly a stock, country, and over its hills roam thousands of sheep, horses and cat tle; and even the melodious . voice of the howling coyota is , heard oc casionally. ; . Grass and feed is very scarce this year owing to the drouth of the East year, which heretofore has een unknown. Most" of the cat tle men have plenty of gi ass in their pastures, while stock on the out range are actually dying of starvation. One draw-back to the out range is the scarcity of water, most of the watering places being under fence. Several cattle own ers of this vicinity take their cat tle to the straw piles out north of Pendleton for winter quarters. Wood is very plentiful and of good quality. You can get. it de livered at "your, door-yard, sawed and split, . stove length, for the round sum of eighty-tive cents per cord. How is that tor wood? The low price of wood is a great advant age to this country, as it is noted for its cold, drifting winds, which necessitates ' considerable wood. While ine -winds of this country are very disagreeable, they are, nevertheless, a greatbenefit to this country as they blowyiiie snow off the ridges, and enables stofcMo get grass enough to' live througlt winter with, very little feed. There is n saw-miliin this neigh borhood, which saws about 12,000 feet of lumber per day, and furn ishes all kinds of rough and dress-, ed lumber from $10 to $22 per M. Mountain Valley , is very much in need of a store, postoflice, black smith shop, etc., as the nearest ac commodation to these places is a distance of 12 or 15 miles. The people of the valley get their mail at Ridge postoflice, generally every Saturday, by some one who goes from the Polts and brings it to Hon.J, S. Gurdane's place where the people collect for their mail when the carrior arrives. This postoflice is near the fam ous Willow Springs where a battk with the Bannock Indians were fought in 1878, in which several men were killed. ' Mountain Valley can also boast of having a fine church, erected in 1886 by the M. E. Church South, but stands open for all orthodox denominations. 5; Rev. Otis, of Trenton, N. J., has been in the valley the past week lecturing on bible prophecy, and preaihing occasionally. -He seems to be a very devout christian and thoroughly understands his 'sub-1 ject. Any one who will go and hear him lecture will, beccawo thoroughly convinced that'., ho' "on to his job." He is a member of the Liberal V. B. ; church, but his lectures alone are enough to recommend him where ever he goca. v.; ' , , ' This is school dist. No, 33, and was organized under J. W. Ingle, county Bchool superintendent. There are about 45 pupils in the district. This district is partly in Morrow county, which I believe js the only district in Umatilla coun ty that draws school money ' from two counties. Although it is a large district, yet they are in very much need of a new school house which I think they will have soon, o I have 24 pupils enrolled, Bomu of which are very obedient, while others are inclined to be a little disorderly at times, y Athena can boast of fat hogs and fat chickens, but Mountain Valley surely has the ."crow" when it it comes to fat turkeys. Mrs. Mc Broom is stall feeding her Christ mas turkeys now, and is getting them in tine fix for Christmas. In this line-Mrs. McBroom has no equal. She is assisted in this en terprise by grandma McRae, Oh how we long for Christmas when we can chew on one of those fat turkey hams. Very truly yours. M.'L. Watts. Reynolds Acquitted, George Reynolds, who was depu ty postmaster at Weston and has been on trial for alleged robbery of the safe, was acquitted Wednesday in the United States court at Port land. Dan Murphy appeared for the government, and A. D. Still man for the defense. The case was carefully tried, and when tbe evi dence was all in, Judge Bellinger asked the counsel how they wanted to argue before the jury. The de fense waived the argument, stating that they were ready to submit the ho case on the evidence. "The gov ernment, Mr. Murphy having u.-L.-.i for an hour, then waved its argu ment and the jury went out.. In just four minutes they filed into court 'a nd' handed in a-verdict which had -been 'arrived at on tho first 'ballot. It was for acquitai. For the government, there were in "attendance 23 witnesses. The de fence had only' five, three being al lowed at government expense, the remainder at the expense of the de fendant.

Pickerel I Acquitted. John Pickerell was acquitted of the charge of opening United States mail which had been addressed to another, having no authority to open it. It had been alleged that he opened mail addressed to Mrs. Minejrva Rust and appropriated some of the proceeds of a draft con tained therein. Pickerell was ar rested, taken to Portland and plac ed. on trial. Tho defense made by Pickerell was that he first wrote to Mrs. Rust, from Pendleton to Wal la Walla, notifying her of the ar rival of tho letter, and asking what disposition he should make of it and its contents. Receiving no ollsweio''" toiuuuuiipu , m hoi iui the sanioiffltoiation anu'she jins-' wered that he muit'ttewwi the Jet-' ter.
