Interesting Letter From oregon,

MEDroRD, OREGON, Oct, 10, 49,
EDITOR HERALD: Having promised
many Of my friends to write them
something Of this country, I will now
endeavor to fulfill the same.
After a rather melancholy farewell
to the city where we have soiourned
for eleven years, we took up our long
march toward the western coast. In
eight days we arrived at Ashland and
we supposed our future home. The
first thing particularly attracting the
attention of a new conner from Kan
sas is the fruit. Peaches, apples,
prunes, almonds, plumbs and pears,
on every hand. A perfect sea of
fruit, and the price within the reach
of all. We were fortunate enough
to have a dozen trees Of fine fruit
given to US, and the younger member
of the family showed great activity
in slowing away quite a large quaint
ity IN a very short time, and the older
members including your humble ser
want have followed suit as far as they
were able. But while there are hun
dreds Of people who do like Ashland
as a residence, we did not, on account
of the irrigating bitches and the i'm
| perfect system OF water works. We
thought it too damp and we all agreed
that the country was too trough, SO
after investigation we concluded to
move to Medford, and we are not Ger

is a we'll informed intelligent gentle

that man who knows how to fnan-

simply enormous For instance. one
farmer showed me blackberry
patch of an acre from which he had
sold over $500. worth Of fruit, aud
there was some left for me for the
picking. But the frost catches their
fruit some years except I believe up
at and around Ashland, and then
they have to fall back on their wheat,
oats and barley and the apple crop.
Apples never fail. There are thou
sands Of acres ofland though in Jack

iniure the fruit. I see by the HER

The greatest change I notice of all

people as compared with Kansas. If
there is one man left in Phillips

| Still the people are alive to the need
of prohibition and are working with
a will. There is a fair start in church
work. The Presbyterian and Meth
odist are fairly represented but the
Baptist denomination take the lead
in numbers, presided over by a min
lister from Long Island, Kansas. The
CITY claims one thousand inhabitants
| and I count ten or a dozen new houses
now being erected. We have had
three fine rains in less than one
month and no hard winds. Business
seems to be Gourishing, money is
plenty and hands are scarce. Except
the idle loafers around the saloons
everybody is busy. I think this is
not IS healthy country as Phillips
county, there seems to be more ma
Iaria, more ague and typhoid fever

bail is not accepted except from
men Of great literary attainments,
or degreed scholars Of local or ma
tional reputation. These men
seldom give bail in criminal cases,
unless they are satisfied of the
prisoners innocense. and then it
is equal to an honorable acquittal.
An appeal for pardon on behalf
Of any criminal must be made
through men Of education holding
diplomas from the various coll
eges. In this way the wishes of
the people reach the throne.
For mischief making or black
mail the offenders mouth is
spanked so hard that he cannot
use it for some time. Women are
the principal recipients Of this
punishment. Any kind of high
way robbery is punished by cut
ting off the head of the offender,
while forcible entrance with in
tent to do injury to person or
property is punished by exile.
There are no breach of promise
leases, and if a single man assaults
an unbetrothed girl he can COM
promise by marrying and support
ing her, no matter if he be a beg
gar and she princess. If mar
ried man is guilty of the crime un-
der any circumstances he is be-
headed, and if a single man assaults
a married woman he, too, is be-
headed. If the woman's husband
makes the discovery he can cut off
the heads of his wife and the man.
For this the authorities will re-
ward him, because it shows his
manhood.
Under no circumstances will
the scribes, or silent lawyers of
China allow their names to be
known in courts, the duties of the
Judges being to find out for them
selves who is right and who is
wrong. No matter if he is law
yer or not, any man who aids
another to evade the law is guilty
of treason. In all cases plaintiffs
and defendants plead their own
cases.

Laws and Morals of China.

Highway robbery is never re-
peated if the highwayman is
caught, because it needs head to
plan such things, and once in the
clutches of the emperor's magis-
trate the bad man s head is taken
away from him pretty quick. This
is what makes crime so unpopu-
lar in China. So that the readers
may know how the various often
ses, SO lightly punished, in this
country, are treated in China some
OF the more common crime are
given together with the penalty
that follows discovery as surely as
the sun follows the moon.
For the first offense of petit lar
ceny the culprit receives fifty lash
es on his bare back with bamboo
rod five feet long and FIVE inches
wide. For the second offense he
receives 100 lashes, and wooden
collar weighing 100 pounds is put
around his neck. This he must
wear ninety days and ninety
nights. The wearer cannot seclude
himself, but must make calls upon
his friends and walk in the streets.
This is compulsory. For all fu-
ture offenses the penalty is in
creased at the above rate until the
prisoner is reformed.
| In simple assault and battery
cases the plaintiff must prove in
jury by showing blood, otherwise
he will be spanked for making
trivial complaint. For breaking a
a head the penalty is similar to
petit laceny, and for manning it
is life Imprisonment. If the pris-
oner is rich he can escape impris-
onment by transferring as much
Of his wealth to the injured man
as would secure him life compe-
tence without work. In all cases

where the old and wise men of the
tribe had built a Grand Medicine
lodge. When the Great Megis
Eobseryed this and being a part of
this mission he proceeded to enter
Eand abide there for some time,
teaching the wise men further into
the mysteries Of the Grand Medi-
lclne and Of the medicinal virtus of
roots, herbs, etc. The entrance
Lot this Lodge was strongly guard
led by Evil spirits who would not
allow any one to pass therein; the
Megis directed the Medicine men
to'skill and cook a dog as a peace
offering, which would please the
Evil spirits, and no one would be
molested who wished to enter.
When you enter a Grand Medi-
cine Lodge the first thing you OBJ
serve is a painted cedar post some
distance from the entrance, and
near the entrance is a large stone;
midway between this stone and
post the Great Megis is believed
to take his place during the SOL
bmn celebration of the different
rites Of the Grand Medicine, and
Pll sacrifices and offerings are d.
fected there. The stone is be-
Fieved to have the properties of
drawing disease from the body of
! sick person, and the post repre-
sents tree which is an emblem
Of life and strength, and so it is
that a sick person undergoing
treatment at the hands of the Me-
das is placed so as to lean against
This post.

Great Spirit first thought of the
Grand Medicine as the trees, stones
and everything that grows was in
the second layer of the Earth.
When the stone, and tree heard
the spirits conversing about the
future of the Indians they re-
solved to appear on Earth, and
after four trials they succeeded in
doing SO, since then they have

vorably to the applicant, a day
was set on which to perform the
solemn rights Of the initiation and
the applicant notified of this decis-
ion and instructed to prepare him
or herself for the grand ceremony,
which duties were to compose
Of recitation and rehearsal of
chants after the instructions of q

these rehearsals are continued
for about a week previous to ad-
mission of an applicant to the
presence of the Master and other
WORTHLESS of the Grand Lodge.
On the sixth day, all parties in
terested including the applicant,
proceed to the scene selected to
solemnize the ceremony, where a
large lodge has been built; this
lodge is usually seventy five to one
hundred feet in length, fifteen to
twenty feet in width and five to
six feet high, covered over with
boughs and mats. Poles are sus-
pended across the interior whereon
is laid the goods and other articles

Mt. Holly Incorporated.

Ine excitement was intense in Mt.
Holly Saturday over the election for
the purpose OF determining whether or
not the town should be incorporated.
The principal property owners op-
posed the measure tooth and nail, for
the reason that it would increase the
burden of taxation without resulting
in any corresponding benefit. The ad-
vocates Of incorporation, ON the other
hand, argued that it would give the
town a business boom, encourage
manufacturers to locate there and act
as a stimulous to business generally.
AT the polls the scene was lively one,
and several times a war of words en-
sued that threatened TO result i'll free
fight.
The Prohibitionists voted against
incorporation, for the reason that it
mighl lead to the licensing of addition

Republicans were divided on the sub
iect. The result was victory for the
incorporation party by vote of 511 to

A Great Giut of Apples.

There is q great glut in the apple
market at present. The crop, not only
in the apple growing New York coun-
ties, but throughout the East, West
and the Canadas, has been enormous,
consequently the home markets are
overstocked and the export trade de-
moralized, owing to recent exception
ally large shipments, Notwithstanding
which fact the expectation of apples
last week reached over 100000 barrels.
One county alone in New York, is said
to have produced upwards of 100000
barrels. There are millions of barrels
stored, awaiting shipment to market,
and commission merchants express a
fear that the growers will, from neces-
sity, throw the greater portion of these
on the market before the present sur
plus is got rid of, and thus not only
inflict a great loss upon themselves.
but still further demoralize the market.
On Saturday, apples were selling in
large lots, at from 81 to $2
