On Tuesday Last, two fat steers belong

town, were turned into the barn yard with
halter chains on their necks. While playing
the chains became entangled and fastened
together, the efforts of the animals TO ex-
tricate themselves only served to tighten
and shorten the chains, and it was found
that there was immediate danger of the
steers being choked to death. With great
presence ofmind Mr.. Hertzler quickly pro
cured an axe, and in three or four blows
cut Of the head of one, thereby saving the
one steer alive, and the other for beef. The

The Hood River Country.

The Dalles Wountaiueer Of June 24th
gives this sketch:
Hood River Valley is situated on the
south side of the Columbia river, twenty
five miles below the Dalles, and rejoices
in two small settlements, one on the
west, and one on the east side of the
river. There is in the neighborhood
twenty Or thirty thousand acres of land
adapted to agriculture, of which but
small portion is as yet occupied. The
valley consists in part of prairie, but
mostly of timbered land, all of which is
tbickly covered with mountain bunch
grass of the finest quality, as the graniy-
orous animals thereabout attest. With a
small amount of forage cattle may be
kept In beef condition the year round
Cattle reared in this valley are larger at
one year old than those reared in the
Willamette are at two. Heavy crops of
acorns every year or so, and vast
amount of camas and other roots that
exist in great abundance renders it de-
sirable place for the hog raiser. Horses
keep very fat the year round with little
or no grain. Hood river rises in Mount
Hood, and may well be styled moun-
tain torrent, for its waters do not flow,
but dash down its rocky channel with
astonishing rapidity, after turbulent
meandering of some sixty miles, finally
losing itself in the Columbia on the
north side of the valley If there was
any lack of 9ater-power in this country,
Hood river would of itself supply it, and
yet have enough left for the tons of
| trout that glory in its waters.
deer. bear yrouSe marie chIckans
constitute the principal assortment Of
game.
Bailey, wheat, oats, and some of the
principal cultivated grasses are raised in
sufficient quantities for home use, and
some to spare. Vegetables Of all kinds
do well. The apple, pear, peach, plum,
grape, and all of the smaller fruits grow
in profusion and possess a much finer
flavor than those grown in the William
ette Valley.
Hood river Valley is not the place, in
my opinion, that everybody expects to
reach in that .'good time coming" yet it
is place where thieves may break in
they rarely ever break out with much
booty, the geographical situation of the
valley prevents speculation OF that kind.
Some of the material advantages which
thls Saiiey mas over many otner locali-
ties are these: Namely, in having choice
of two good markets. The farmers pro-
duce may be placed in The Dalles market
within two and half hours from the
time it is shipped, or in the Portland
/ market in about seven. If the farmer
accompanies his freight to The Dalles he
need not be away from the little ones at
home more than one night, and not exs
tend his board bill beyond one dollar.

ingenious Plan TO RAISE THE
W1ND.-An elderly Englishman, having
discovered that he had exhausted his
fortune, adopted an ingenious plan to be
cared for comfortably during the remain
der of his life. He kept his bankrupt
condition profound secret; but, still
having the reputation ola millionaire, he
made his will, leaving liberal sums to
his relatives, friends, and various chari-
ties. BY his friends and the philanthro-
pists he was consequently made welcome,
being generously entertained at their
homes until the day of his death. A
superb funeral was furnished, and .hen
his will was read. The bequests were
made as had been promised; but when
the estate was administered upon, it was
found to be wholly valueless and The dis
appointed heirs became very disrespect-
ful to the memory of the deceased

COMPLICATIONS IN EURopE-Bis>
marek demands that England shall cede
to Germany the island of Heligoland, a
little affair of not above five square miles
in the North sea, now used by England
as a naval station. Up to 1907 it be-
longed to Denmark, but in that year was
seized by England in order to foil the
schemes of the great Napoleon. New
Germany wants it for naval purposes, and
claims it on the ground that it once be-
lonsed to Schleswig, once province of
Denmark, since absorbed by Germany.
England replies that she is not required
to consult the wishes or wants of Ger
many in looking out for her own in
terests. This little affair, small though
it now looks, may lead to a scrimmage
between the two powers, and if we are to
judge of the result in the light of the
recent settlement with France, Great
Britain is about to lose some of her pop
ulatinn and sink good deal of cash to
her own detriment And the feeling
throughout America will be, We fear,
''and may the best man win"

BOISE Cry, I. T., June 22d, 1871.
EDITOR REGISTER: Dear Sir -
Here We are, in good health and spirits,
after journey by boat, railroad and
stage. of six days, and three days stop-
page, making, in all, nine days. We left
Albany Monday, june 18th, arrived at
Portland same day, and found We were
one day too late, or three days too soon
TO make the connection with the boat
above the Dailes; STAYED one day in
Portland, took the boat, very fine one,
too, clever aud accommodating officers
aud arrived at the Dalles Wednes-
day evening, and found the town
flooded with water, the Umatilla House
deserted as well as many other houses,
and stopped at the Empire Hotel; re-
nained there two days, during which
time the water took possession of the
lower rooms, and we were compelled t.
go out to our meals on a temporary bridge.
Saturday morning at 2 o'clock we took
the stage, the railroad being flooded by
water, for Cello, where we took the boat
for Umatilla, and arrived there all safe
the same evening, and stopped at the
Orleans House-went IN on bridge,
as at the Dalles. Left Umatilla at
o'clock Sunday morning, on the stage.
and arrived at Uniontown, in the Grand
Ronde valley, that evening; left there at
2 o'clock next morning and arrived at
Boise City Tuesday a. 3 o'clock P. ~,
without pause, except to change teams
and get meals, and found ourselves all
right, and our friends all we'll We
found good stages, good teams and good
drivers, and the roads not so bad or
rough as we expected to find them. We
found the trip to be an expensive one,
but as pleasant as could be expected
under the circumstances the weather
rather warm and the roads dusty but We
stood the trip well-pather improved in
health, but little jolted up. We ex-
pect to remain here over the 4th of July,
and then resume our journey.
We passed over some good country
and some very poor. The Boise Valley
is very good body of land; very fine
crops of wheat, barley, and some corn
and potatoes Boise City is beautifully
situated. is very neat, and looks prosper :
Gus has about 800 inhabitants, and a
number of good business houses, all OF
whom appear to be doing good busi-
ness. This is fast country, fast towns,
and fast people; all love money. not for
its intrinsic value, but for the enjoyment

THAT'S WHATS THE MATTER.-As
an evidence that the ssnew departure"
doesn't go down easily with the masses in
the old slave States, read what the Far
Play, published at Fulton, Missouri,
says:
We denounce the so called Democracy
as lie, swindle, transparent cheat
No man who was ever Democrat, or
who knows what the word means, has
any use for Democracy which adopts
and endorses the three constitutional
amendments, and is afraid to open its
cowardly lips in favor of State rights or
"a white mans government But the
Republican and the whole regiment of
editors in this State who have been ac-
customed for the last ten years to adopt
its thoughts in place of thinking for
themselves, are ready to denounce
Pomeroys Democ,ot, the Montgomery
Mai, the Lexington Caucasian, and
every other paper in the land which
darcs now to advocate Democracy that
has any heart or brain or backbone in it..

INDIAN DEPARTMENT.-The Salem
Statesman gets the following information
from Superintendent 4. B. Meacham ::
The exterior boundaries Of the Umatilfa
Reservation have been surveyed, and the
land is now being subdividcd by further
surveys. \ Council has been appointed
to meet at Umatilla, August 7th, to COM
mence negotiations for the purchase of
the Umatilia lands from the Indians. T.
w. Davenport will soon commence the
survey and subdivision of the lands ON
the Siletz Reservation. Dir. I. b.
Handley is now engaged in surveying
the Warm Springs Reservation, and a
Mr. Mercer is doing the like duty at
klamath. As soon as harvest is over,
Col. D. P. Thompson will commence the
survey at Grand Ronde. These surveys
are made in accordance with treaty stip-
ulations, as the indians arc eager to own
their own lands and carry on independent
farming. Chief Clerk of the Depart
ment, Mr.. G. S. Woodwork, has gone
out to the Lebanon road, to locate a route
from Camp Polk to connect with the
Klamath road at the Upper Deschutes
crossing. This is to secure direct route
from Salem 10 Klamath for government
freight trains.
