The Pile Driver,

Among other of the many enterprises in
Benton county worthy of note, is the steam
pile driver owned by John VIM. Moore. of
Corvallis, which does its work in credita
BILE manner Mr.. Moore has his driver SO
arranged and adjusted that he can drive
piling either on land or water. having erect
ed for that purpose scow lsx50 feet on
which the machinery is placed and foated
to any desirabls spot in the stream. Work
is done substantial aud expeditions by a
massive 1000 pound hammer which is hoist
ed fifty-f"e feet to the top of the ''jims" by
a twelve horse power traction engine, and
dropped with tremendous ''thud" on the
head of the pile which is forced to yield to
the heavy stroke. Mr.. Nj. estimates the
driving capacity at about twenty piling per
day and is now busily engaged fulfilling the
contract of driving several hundred piling in
the Willamette river, near the saw mill, for
Max Friendly, where he employs six men
to assist him in the work. The driver is
not only substantial but crediatble en-
terprise, and to those who need any such
work done, we would say. that THE is
worthy of patronage and that satisfaction
will be given in every instance.

moist condition of the atmosphere during
the winter just passing made it necessary
for the unfortunate individuals under con.

for the conflict had unfortunately lost that
valuable treasure, He met his victim on
the street and straightway accused him OF
having purposely carried away his umbrella
at an unfavorable time and for his own use.
The one accused straight forward without
further ceremony went pat-and it came
right between his opponents eyes, and at it
they went. An eager crowd soon gathered
around when they found that Nose Neugass
and Reube Kiger ware earnestly engaged in
arguing question upon which they could
not agree. Each received slight aErasions

corder got the regular fees besides the usu

Yakima. w. r

Mr.. M. 8. WooDcocK. Sir:-As this
Christmas times perhaps you would like t
know how the people of this upper countr,
manage to enjoy themselves, and as I wa
locker on maby can manage to tell SOM
! things that would be of interest to YOU
readers. Saturday before Christmas the
day was spent in shooting for turkeys and
also pigeons. The distance for the turkeys
was 40 yds. off hand and so with rest The
Cow Boy took aim shot and walked off with
alaree eotu.s.,er, and if nothing happens
will help to pick his bones on New Years
| day. There was large crowd in the city
and heap Of whiskey drank but not row
| of any kind during the day.
Sunday listened to a good sermon
preached by a Methodist preacher and l
must say by far the best discourse ever
| heard in this upper country. Monday open
ed out little cloudy but soon cleared off
and the day was the finest Christmas day I
ever seen. ALI the day they were arranging
for the Christmas tree and when the doors
were opened the crowd gathered fast and
the hall was crowded full. The tree was
full of valuable presents and there was
many little hearts made happy. After all
was over the hall was cleared out and the
dance commenced. There was not as many
there as would have been on account of
another dance within two miles of town,
although understand there was 81 num-
bers sold and 63 at the dance near town.
So you see our people all dance and but
few 60 to church. Thursday morning the
%, we woke up and found about two in
ches If snow covering ou1 beautiful valley
for the first time this winter. To-day it is
quite cool With north wind most all the
time. Clear in ali directions excepting to-
wards webfoot; from the looks of the black
clouds that come over the Cascades /
should say rain day and night down there.
Up to this storm our roads were dry and
nice.
There was grand rush made in Mckee
valley few days ago for land. I under
stand there was eleven sections taken and
there is a company with seventy-ive thous-
and dollars going to bring a large ditch out
to irrigate the land. This land is on fthe
survey of the railroad. Land in that ysEey
is bringing good price and great. desl la $
changed hands. The talk is that there will
be a town in that locality and the people Of
Yakima City are somewhat uneasy as it is
on the opposite side of the river, and they
fear it will take the business from their
town. When I hear the whistle OF the
locomotive then will begin to think we
will have railroad and not until then.
Yours Truly,
Cow Boy.
