riconstituting ourseli a "Hoard oImmigration" on a limited scale

Grant county is the largestcounty in the state, extending inlength from a short distance beyond the first standard of parallel south to beyond the eighthstandard parallel south, or fromUmatilla county on the north tothe Nevada line on the south.A great extent oi her territory ismountainous, and in the northernportion of the county a heavygrowth of yellow pine, hr andtamarack is lounu on ttie mountains, making the timber resources unlimited and boundless.Her most extensive valley, Harney and its tributaries, m thesouthern portion of the county,has long been devoted to stockraising, but of late years the val-

ley is rapidly settling up, and although the country with the exccption oi sheltered localities isinclined to be frosty during thesummer months a good qualityof grain and some of the finestvegetables ever seen were grownthe present year. Burns, Har-ney and Drcwsey the latter inthe Malheur country are thetowns of this extensive Southern(Jrant county, which in time willbe detached from Grant county,and on the completion of theproposed Oregon Pacific railroadwill become sulliciently develop- -

i i t i i titcd to ranK among tne wealthycounties of our state.

The John Dav valley and itstributary vallevs has the mostmild climate of anv in EasternOregon. This valley and tributaries eoinposc"aiftirt;a of'countrysome io or 80 miles long by fromone to four miles in width, sur-rounded by foothills where growstho nutritious bunchgrass, andback of these the high timberedmountains. Canyon City,, thecounty seat of Grant county,Prairie City, John Day, Mt. .Ver-

non and Dayville, largest in theorder named, are the towns ofthe John Day valley. All kindsof fruits except the tropicalfruits of California and the Southgrow hero in profusion. Applesare shipped from this valley toBaker City and other points onthe railroad, which rival in fla-

vor those grown in any otherportion of Oregon, and only ourremoteness from rail transporta-tion about c;ghty miles pre-vents' Grant county fruit fromgoing into all parts of the UnitedStates.

Long Creek and Fox valleysto the north of the John Day arerapidly coming- - to the front inthe way of settlement and devel-opment. Stock raising and farm-ing are the chief occupations, andthese two valleys are about filledwith a good class of prosperous,industrious and law abiding citi-

zens, but yet there is much goodvacant government land for in-

tending settlers, which is to behad for the mere taking, underthe homestead or pre-emptio- n

laws. The town of Long Creekin the above named valley is atrading point for that entire coun-try, with the exception of thevillages of Hamilton and Monu-ment, ten and twenty miles be-

yond.Silvies and Bear valleys to the

south of the John Day arc utiliz-ed for stock ranges and hayranches mostly, their altituderendering them unfit for farmingexcept in sheltered nooks. Muchland is open for settlement, andwe have been shown the presentseason as fine vegetables anHgrain from Bear valley as can begrown anywhere, but of coursenot the entire valley can be de-

pended upon for a "garden spot"on the account of tho frost.

Quartz mining is beginning toattract attention of outside capi-tal as well as home capitalists.On Dixie Creek near Prairie Citythe work of development hasbeen going on for a few years, andthe yield of gold from some ofthe ledges is no inconsiderablesum annually. Two five-stam- p

mills and two or three arrastrasare used in crushing the ore,which is for the greater part freemilling.

mineral belt will be the scene ofgreat activity, and that thewealth that lies hidden in ourrock-ribbe- d mountains will bededicated to the use of man toenhance his joys. The purchaseoi tne Monumental mine in Gran-ite district by a wealthy Londoncorporation fast summer will in-fuse new life in the mining in-dustry of Grant county, and itwill advance as it has never ad-vanced before.

At the state and county elec-tion last June, Grant county'svoters numbered for congressmen1,934, which vote allowing fivepopulation for each voter, wouldbring our population up to 9,G70souls. These statistics will hard-ly apply to Grant county, assuch large numbers of her votersare men without families. Hertaxable property is over $3,000,- -000, scattered over n strip ofGod's green earth 200 miles longby 90 miles wide. Grant county can furnish a home for thous-ands of families yet, and stillhave vacant land to spare. Cropsnever fail, and tornadoes or floodsnor fearful epidemics come tospread desolation.

Bets involving extraordinaryand almost ininossible featshavo frequently been made andwon. borne years since, whenthe late Rev. Henry "WardBeecher was delivering lecturesthroughout the country, Colonel de jMeres, of the Troy Times,

amUlLhcjcoulUit. on.ne stage w iiu ine orator, er

every word he said,and publish it in his paper thenext morning. The wager be-

ing accepted, Colonel de Mercssat on the platform near Mr.ljccchcs, and at the conclusionof the lecture went to tne otliceof the Troy Times ami withoutlault or stop dictated the entire

discourse word for word.

Many years ago there livednear 1 ortland, inc., a prosperous old Quaker fanner iiuuiedJones, whose conscience troub- -

ed him if he took any more ofus neighbors money than he

consideied a fair equivalent forwhatever he sold. He fixed one

rice for his butter and neverwould take any more, no matterwhat the state of the marketmight be. One morning hisson Thomas was sent to the vil-

lage with si pot of butter, whichhe sold for fifteen cents a pound.On his return he gave his fatherthe proceeds of his sale. Theold gentlman sent him immedi-ately back to the purchaser torefund three cents a pound.

"And this," exclaimed thetourist from 2s'ew England, wip-ing his spectacles and lookingfrom the summit of tho Mountof Olives, with a long drawn,quivering sigh, at the City ofJerusalem spread out beforehim, "is the Holy City! Ah,well!". "It moves you strongly, sir?"

said the guide sympathetically."It does it dues. "When I

look out over this historic land-

scape, this decaying city, andreflect that probably none of theunfortunate beings now residing

- re have ever ever seenBoston "

And the Xew England tour-is- twept softly.

A Canadian paper perpetratesthis: "A Bosanquent man,who was out in Dakota this fall,attended a county fair of theregular Dakota kind, at Plank-ton. The exhibition consistedof a bull and pumpkin. Thebull got loose and ate up thepumpkin, and the fair endedright there."

lad of ten fair years, bought 15cents worth of needles and tape,was waited on promptly by ucharming saleslady, to whom hogave a silver quarter. She sentit via the pneumatic tubes tothe cashier's desk and kinklyasked the child to sit down andwait a moment for his change.Time rolled on, rolled on. Itkept on rolling. In-

to the deserted store one day, anangel, walking down the emptystreet, cast his ej'es and quicklyfollowed the direction of hisglance. He touched the figureof an man, who leaned wearilygainst the counter, while his

silver hair and snowy beard fellto the floor in a fleecy shower."Why," said the angel, "comowhat are you doing here? Wohave been looking for you ev-

erywhere for 200 years. . Every- -

this word, two centuries gone."What are you doing herei" Idid not hear anything about it,"said the old man, wearily. "Iam waiting for my change.""Xever mind," said the angel,softly; "so is the man who in-

MexicoA letter from says

the brigands are waking up tothe fact their occupation isgoue.Rapid travel is bringing themmore surely into the clutches ofthe law. A gang of wreckerswere pursued and shot less thana month ago in the state of Du-rang- o.

The leader of tho bandwas well known to the Mexicanpublic by sight and through re-

cord of daring deeds and bloodycrimes. Young and boyish inappearance, handsome, dashing,and so brave and beloved by theentire clan of eighteen brigandsthat the identity of the chiefwas never betrayed or suspected.The other day the rnrales track-ed them down, sent eight bul-

lets through tho captain's heartand destroyed tho whole band,not leaving one to tell the story.They then learned that thehandsome bandit boy was onlya bit of succassful masqueradingfor when the riddled sombrerowas removed and the bullet-burne- d

blanket thrown aside ashapely form was revealed andthe nstonishod soldiers discover-ed that the leader of their foeshad been a woman.

"Did you sec any Quakers inPhiladelphia?" was asked of aDetroiter who lately returnedfrom that city. "Only one thatI was sure of." "Did he Uhcoand 'thou' you?" "He did. Hogot gown oil his hack and said:'If thee don't pay me two dol-- "

Inrs I'll knocK thv blamed headofF,' and I paid, although Iknew the regular fare wastwelve shillings. .Yon don'twant to fool with those Quakersany, and don't you forget it!"Detroit Free Press.
