FROM WEBFOOT.
"Mountain Ash" States Some Unpleasant
Facts About the Metropolis.
For the ilcnoKT.
Just one month ago to-day Bnow com
menced foiling, and ever since Clnist
uiiiH w e have had a regular old-fashioned
eastern winter; lots of snow witli very
cold weather. Portland people have got
their fill of Bleigh-riding this winter, at
least those who were able to be out. I
don't think there are a hundred well
people in this at all times very un
healthy city. All through the hill the
vast majority of its inhabitants were
victims of malarial fever. I am sure
not one stranger escaped it, and this
winter influenza is carrying off tho old
inhabitants and many of the young. A
funeral procession is the lugubrious
every-day melancholy sight. Mostly the
black-covered box is a long one, but
often a tiny box tells of a mother's des
olation. Tiade is dull; in fact nobody is half
paying expenses. Some of the largest
stores employing scores of clerks are
only averaging about ten dollars a day.
Of totlrso under such an existing state
of a (rairs tho employes have to go, so
many a homo is shorn of its usual lux
uries and thero is a great deal of real
want in the city. I am situated so that
I can tell a good deal about it. All
through the fall my little place of busi
ness was besieged with hoine-siek men
and women from the east who were out
of employment, out of money and mis
erable witli malarial fever, and all tell
ing the same story of good homes and
better wages .they had had in eastern
cities. The board of immigration, which
is doing so much to improve the lodging-house
business of Portland, is wreck
ing so many hopes and I fear lives of
people who are never satislled with well
enough. 1 11111 very fearful that the
coming of spring will add a terrible
linalo to the unhealthy winter. Many
pipes in the public buildings and private
houses have been frozen up for several
weeks, and a great scarcity of water has
added to thu general discomfort of thin
winter and danger from fire, but the
houses are so covered all thu time witli
snow that that horror is lessened ; but
when thu pipes burst, as they surely
will with the coming thaw, "What will
tho harvest bo" of deaths from sewers
and Hooded water-clocets?
I see by the papers that yon have had
a great deal of snow, and that many
cattle are dying in eastern Washington
and in tho !ig Mend country. I hope
Morrow and Gilliam will not sutler in
the samo way. Any way, if you do lose
some of your Btock, you w ill all come
out from the winter alive and well in
healthy eastern Oregon.
Xmas hero was very dull, and the re
tail traoe, 111 spitu of tho Uregontan, was
conlined to 20 anil Jo-cent purchases,
except in thu ease o! homo ol the whole
salers who aru also retailers and who
dishonorably put goods in their win
dows at w holesale prices, thus leaving
the smaller dealers to w hom they had
sold Christmas stocks out in the cold.
The Ooldeii Hulu bazar, a lurgo Jew es
tablishment, brought its whole force,
so I am told, down stairs from the
wholesale into the retail department at
Xmas time, and they worked oil' lots of
goods at about the prices they had sold
to tho small retailers. The same th in,
having been admonished by small re
tailers that tliev would not stand such
business ways, are going to open a
wholesale house on Front street, but
the retail house in another street will
still flourish, Verily, the Israelite will
"get there" every time, and without
doubt they havo got Portland. On every
corner is a Jew store w ith decoy ducks
in the windows luting Christians in to
tho certain destruction of their finances;
and all the little places of business are
invaded every day by gentlemen with
gteedy prominent eyes and hawk noses,
selling all sorts of goods "sheeper," of
course, "than ever vas." The tobacco
trade is especially monopolized by Jews,
anil retailers of the weed have to almost
insult them to get rid of their presence.
Hut these gentlemen are very patient
people where there's a dollar to gain,
and they w ill stand any thing short of a
kick in pursuit of it. Put perhaps I am
taking a prejudiced view of tho class I
am speaking of.
This is rather a melancholy letter, but
1 thought I'd tell you the truth about
western Oregon to reconcile vou to hard
times jn eastern Oregon. Vou see the
bubble is beginning to burst down hero.

On account of the snow blockade on
thu California and Oregon railroad, the
last batch of San Francisco mail re
ceived In tho northwest was shipped by
twanwr. rj... r.j for (hi s,rvil.
was ft per sacn, w. fun government
official at San Francisco refuse to pay
this price for any morn mail, and tho
steamship company refuses to accept
lifty cents, tho price offered. Hence
Oregon and Washington mail is accumu
lating by tho ton In San Francisco, and
we are left the choice of cussing the
government officials or the steamship
company.
Tin; medical committee apomtod by
the Tacoma council to examine the
water supply of the city, after careful
consideration, havo reported that it is
unlit for use. In their repoit they as
sert that the water is of a greenish
yellowish cast, contains decaying or
ganic matter, and during warm weather
has a perceptible odor. This is truly a
bad statu of atfoirs for a city like Ta
coma, and no doubt accounts for a largo
proportion of the prevalent sickness.
Tiik Canadian parliament is alarmed
at the enormous emigration of Canadian
to tho I'hited Stales, and will try to ascer
tain the causes therefor. The Canucks
are (hiding out the difference between a
republic ami a monarchy that's what's
the matter.
NORTHWEST NEWS NOTES.
Potatoes are now selling for two cents
per pound at Walla Walla.
It is expected that Portland's big liottl
will be opened about March 15th.
Work on the branch railroad from La
Grande to Klgin will begin within the
next two weeks.
During a severe storm last Monday a
new dwelling at Centralia, Wash., was
blown to the ground.
Snow has been so deep in T.a Grande
that pedestrians walked on top of the
fences, instead of on the sidewalks.
Last year Tacoma expended nearly
$500,0)0 on her streets, and this year
probably will expend considerably more.
On account of deep snows there will
be more gold dust washed out of the
ground in Jackson und Josephine coun
ties than tor years past.
Wm. Pierce, of Moor's valley, Yam
hill county, who was born in Tennes
see in 1811, and camo to Oregon from
California in 1859, died at Carlton re
cently. Maxwell & Todd, boot and shoe deal
ers at Athena, have made an assignment
for the benefit of creditors, witli J. S.
King as assignee. The assets are $2,
872, liabilities $.',4()5.04.
Cattle on Crooked river are suffering
not only from want of food but from
want of water. The river is frozen over,
and there is not a single place where
animals can get a drink. . ,
Frank Pyron and Samuel Newton, by
using an iron hook and a spike, dug
through live courses of brick in the
Salem jail and made their escape at
dark last Monday evening.
A gang of four burglars have been ar
rested at Tacotna. An Italian section
foreman, who lived in a cabin, was their
"fence," and two wagon loads of articles
of every description were found in his
shanty.
Very high tides have occurred at Ta
coma during the past three weeks. An
old boatman says ho cannot remember
when they have been bo continuously
high, and he is at a loss to account for
the unusual amount of brine.
Says the Eugene Journal: Snow at
Cedar Flat this week was three feet
deep, and perhaps deeper higher up the
McKonzie. Hut thero has not been
more than an inch of snow at F.ugene
this season, and that lasted only six days.
Tho steamer Columbia, sailing from
San Francisco for Portland last Wednes
day, carried thirty one pouches and 472
sacks of mail, besides nine bags of reg
istered matter, for the northwest, which
had been delayed by the blockade on
the railroad.
It is not expected that work will begin
on the Oregon Pacific in the CaBcades
before the middle of April next. If it
does not, says the Ocltoco lieiiem, the
railroad company will iiave to hustle in
order to get across the mountain in time
to haul next season's crop of wool.
A letter received in Pendleton from
Hooper, in tho Hig Ilend, says that loco
motion witli a wagon is impossible.
Cattle are dying by tho dozen every day
on Cow creek, and tho animals left alive
have been reduced to skeletons, llav
cannot be procured at any price. What
has been Bold went for $:!0 per ton.
G. G. Chandler, general agent of the
N01 thorn Paeilie, anticipates a very
heavv tide of immigration this year,
According to tho reports from various
Northern Pacilic agents throughout the
east, the indications nro that more peo
plu will come into both eastern and
western Washington this spring than in
any previous year in tho history of the
country.
Thu Ettut Wtitthinttttiiiittn Bays: Never
in thu history of this country have the
roads been bo tilled with Bnow drifts.
Tito snow has not been bo deep, but the
wind has blown almost every day. The
roads had been broken so as to be pass
able, but one night of wind tilled them
up again. The wind would first blow
from the east ami then from the west,
so that it has been impoosible to keep
the roads in anything like a passable
condition.
The city ot walla Vtalla covers an
area of 1880 acres, divided as follows
First ward, M0 acres; second ward, 400
acres; third ward, 440 acres; fourth
ward ti40 acres. In this area thero are
thirty-tlve miles of streets, many of
which are graded and paved, ail of
which were good natural roads before
any work was done on them. About
half the streets are sidewalked on both
sides with board sidewalks from four to
sixteen feet in width.
