From Oregon.
PENDLETON, Oregon, Aug. 1st, 1889.


Editor Free Press:
| DEAR SIR will mail with this u pac kaye
with cut OF our town and surroundings. The
view of Pendlcton is good and the description
of the country is as near accurate as newspa-
per reporters usually get things.
PendletOn has undergone great many
changes since that view was taken, some have
been to its detriment and others to its advan.
tage. Last November and December II was
visited by Hood: and flood by one of the
mountain rivers means something. During
the time of its continuance u great many OF
the houses were swept away, also the bridge.
But the latter rea lily resulted In an advan-
tage to the town, for now we have the finest
bridge that spans any of the rivers In eastern
Oregon.
This seasg,l several business hoases are
mDuil "a as soon as the q. 3. :. .yern-
ment makes II sale of the $40 acres which 1t
has bought of the Umatilla Indians, and has
il surveyed OF INTO town lots, there can not
be- mechanics enough procured here to do
the work. There is now more than one hun
dred families living in their wagons and
tents, waiting for this sale to be made.
Umatilla county had u large yield of wool
this season. There are over one hundred
thousand head of sheep owned in the county,
and they averaged over six pounds to the
iiecse. Some ilocks of choice breeds aver
aged us high rs ten pounds. The yield of
wheat is going to be iIlmense. Prospect
farm, of several thousand acres, will average
forty bushels per acre. Harvesting is in full
blast now. Ii is not carried on the same way
as ii is in Minnesota. Wheat is generally left
standing until the threshng machine gets
around. The ordinary crew for Il common
horse power machine is three 10 or II feet
cut headers with the requisite force to run
them, II horse derrick fork, and self-bindng
attachment. The ranchcr pays about $i.2j
for cutting and hauling to the machine, and
boards the harvest crew Each man must
furnish his own bed or do without. The
thresher furnishes his own crew and boards
them. For convenience they have II portable
boarding house thai moves every time the
machine moves, and furnishes man To sew
the grain sacks, getting 10 cents per bushel
for his labor. The grain is put in sacks
similar To coffee sacks, sewed up and left in
the field until they are hauled away to mar
kct, whcn il is sold, sacks and all. What is
not consumed 10y local demand goes direct to
Portland, where it is re-shippcd upon ocean
' vessels and goes To foreign markets.
There have been fires in the forests of the
coast and Cascade ranges of mountains for
several weeks, which are doing immense

smoke.

Opinion of DR.. Mott. late Government
Chemist, ON Allcock's Porous Plaster.

My investigation of AllcOck's POrOu,
PlaStcs shows it to contain valuable and
essential ingredients not found in any
other plaster. These ingredients are so
perfectly proportional that the Allcock's
Porous Plaster will not cause blisters
or excessive irritation, and find it su-
pcrior to and more efficient than any
other plaster. HENRY A. MOTT, Jr., Phi.
