OREGON WILD 7 7
The Strange Breed That Inhabits the Top
of the Umpqua Mountain.

The Strange Breed That Inhabits the Top
of the umpqua Mountains.
California sportsmcn can now 60 up
10 Oregon and shoot wild CATTLE said
John Day, an Umpqua mountain pioneer,
referring 10 the completion Of the railroad.
1T is a fact that there are hundreds Of
wild cattle in the high hills skirting the
Umpqua valley, and some OF them are
not more than a couple Of miles from the
railroad track. Some Of these cattle, too,
are IS years I'D or more, In the noun
tains near Riddles and Rosebud they are
probably the thickest, but they do not
venture down in the valley much. They
stay in the tops Of the hills and get water
from the living springs which rise there.
For the most part they are concealed in
the dense growth of oak and fir In these
mountains. There is heavy underbush,
too, so that il Is a hard matter 10 get on
10 them. They go in bands Of six or
eight usually, but at night a herd Of forty
or fifty get together and lie down in the
same yard-that is, they sleep ON the
same spot. which is usually "A secluded
place among the trees. a band Of wild
cattle have been known 10 get together
on a cleared place like this every night
for a coupleOf years.
''When feeding there are always n few
bulls 10 act as sentinols. While the cat

they are nevertheless close tOother bands,

bulls, which leisurely feed on higher
ground, they all run away together.

d on sight the same as deer or bear,
for they could no more be driven down
than deer could. Once killed they were
quartered, packed on the horses, and car
ried down. They have been hunted a
good deal Of late years, 20 that there are
not as many as there used TO be.
''Some of the cattle are very large and
fat. l have caught glimpses of bulls in
the top of the Umpqua hills that aston
ished me. A bull l saw in the fall of
10 on the head of the Rogue river | am
certain would weigh 1,400 pounds.
There is good grazing in the mountains
all the year round. A popularity about
these cattle is that their eyes and horns
are jet black. The retina, iris and the
whole apple Of the eye are one mass Of
black. You can't distinguish any differ
ence in amy part of it. The horns, 100,
while being black rs ink, are long and
very sharp. Brought to bay, the Oregon
wild cattle are very wicked fighters. -

The Color of the Sea.

Artists always seem at a loss TO deal
with the color OF the sea, and few are
those who please the public. Professor
Tyndall has comcto their aid. He recog-
nizes three principal hues in sea waves
blue, green and yellow. Solid particles
held in the water act as minute mirrors
rejecting the light which penctrates the
liquid. The rays which are sent out,
after having trayersed only a thin
stratum of water, preserve their yellow
parts; but if the reflections are attenu-
ated the water appears green; and if they
do not exist at all. the sea being clear
and free from muddy matters, the color
is deep blue. In an indigo sea the crest
Of the waves viii appear green on nc.

weed, animalcules and other local or nc.
cidcntal causes may have much infu.

THE SPRINGER BILL.

The Portland Sunday Welcome
sizes up the Springer bologna bill us
follows:
The omnibus territorial bill locke
like a Trojan horse. IL is quite likely
that Democrats may be deceived into
the belief that three democratic states
will oe made out of New Mexico,
Washington and Montana territories,
with but one republican state out OF
Dakota. But there are some demo-
cratic members Of the house and GEN.
ate who do not intend to be caught
mapping. In relation to New Mexico
the belief is universal and well
grounded that che will become a dem
ocratic state.
As TO Washington territory, the
opinion is just the opposite. Previous
TO the election Of Hon. Charles Voor-
bees the territory was regarded as re-
publican, and it is still SO regarded by
many who say that Voorhees, cleo
ton is a personal and not q political
Triumph victory rather OF the anti
railroad monopolists than Of the dem
ocrscy.
Montana has been democratic ftr
years, but On the other hand, IL is
claimed that the immigration to both
Montana and Washington territories
ia likely to be from republican states
OF the northwest, and those who ad-
vance this idea point to the steady
bscksIiding of Oregon in the direction
Of the republican ranks. As 10 Da
kota she will be republican for years.
1t is not right TO let the question of
politics enter the matter. Every ter
ritory having requisite population and
prospective future development TO jus.
tify il should bs admitted TO state
hood. no matter who may be hurt.
The Springer omnibus bill does not
deal fairly with the question, neither
does il pretend 10 do 50. Tn e right OF
each one Of the territories to admiesio n
il based upon different and distinct
grounds. Time was when the slavery
question was the pre-eminent n in
regard TO the making Of new states
and the balance Of power Ia the senate
was looked upon a. q necessary safe
guard 10 American institution.
There Is no longer any such sectional
question, and states should neither be
kept out, as Kansas was. nor admit
ted, rs was Nevada, for purely party
reasons.

Why Not,

"
There are some in this wonderful world
Of ours, who, not satisfied with present
happiness and present work, look eagerly
to the life beyond, a somewhere. where
all is happiness, and this they claim Is the
exclusive right of the higher animals,
human beings; into this happy beyond
no dumb beast may enter, Does Christi
anity teach thisf The "heathen," AZ we
call them, claim a hereafter for beasts a.
we'll as man, surely the gentle influence
Of the gospel docs not encourage exclu.
siveness In heavenl There are men whe
believe In the Immortality of animals,
not by this meaning the heaven that
many picture to themselves. . place,
where angels stand with stiff, heavy
wings, and with unframed hands draw
diJcOfd from harpsj but q heaven, Q place
Q haven where the wicked cease from
troubling and the weary are at rest"
An animal has no souli What Is q s0ull
Is it the brainf Is it the portion
of the brain VIC call reason? or is it
the subtle power of discrimination,
that wOndrous voice that tells us right
from wrong, that We call conscience?
Who that has studied our dumb animals
will not claim for them all of these
powers in a greater or less degree! An
animal reasons, though its powers may
not be as fully developed as mans. It
knows right from wrong and learns it, as
a child docs. by experience and fear Of
punishment. Then, too. for another
reason why not conccdc q future life for
the beasts that suffer? Would you deny
the creatures a hit OF happiness? Surely,
surely they deserve ii. for here they suf-
fer and arc dumb.

A Lever.s stratarem

Americas, Ga, Republican: A young
countryman who had long loved q girl
who lived mile or two from him was
nearly in dispair about winning her hand,
and was on the eve of selling out and
leaving the country. as the girl had re-
fused him three times, and It vas out
that she wa engaged to another fellow.
Our hero had noticed that his rival and
the girl would walk in an old meadow
field every afternoon, and he grew madly
jealous. In his cattle he had q young
bull that was always mad with every.
thing but his master, because he was an
especial pet. Now Dave, u he called
the bull, was to be the object with which
to satiate his revenge. He would turn
him into the meadow, hide himself, and
see his rival tossed like q foot ball. So
one afternoon, calling to Dave. who would
follow him like a dog, he repaired to the
meadow, let the fence down. and turned
the bull in. He then strolled
off and walked around ..
miserable as q man could be who wal
committing an evil deed. An hour or "a
later he heard the deep mutterings Of the
bull, and fastening to the meadow fence
he saw Dave about twenty yards from
the couple. paving dirt and shaking bill
head. The man was trying to get the
girl TO run but she wal 90 terrified thai
she could not move. The bull made q
dash and the fellow ran shrieking for the
fence. The bull rushed ON after the
shrieking fellow, while our discons0late
young man. having jumped the fence
rushed to the girl, as the bull dashed OF
after the fugitive rival, aud, catching hel
in his arms, told her that such . coward
was unworthy of her: As Dave saw hi
young master he left of pursuing thu
other man, returned and went to lickinl
his hand, while the indignant girl vowet
she would never more speak to . maj
that was afraid of Q cew. She s0ol
afterward married Dawes boss.

Animals In Fiction.

There is scarcely . novel written these
days without bt rrowing q hero or two
from the animal world, and great deal
of the interest ccnters around the dumb
creatures. Ouida, who is . great lover
Of animals, dogs and horses In particular,
gives in many of her books . gem Of .
picture and all about some beast, while
that good mar Geo Macdonald, whose
books go to make people better, has In
his paul Fabcr" q perfect sermon on
kindness to animals. Wilkie Collins NO
doubt expresses himself through his hero
in saying the more he secs Of men the
moro he likes dogs. Scott occasionally
gives glimpses in his novels Of his love
for the humber creatures. In fact, the
writer's Of . few years back, as those of
the present day. alike find virtues in the
lower animals which gives them . place

One Of the best investments ever made
in Warrington real estate was that made
by Commodore Rodgers several years ago.
Il was the lot upon which he built Lii
house. and he secured 1t from Henry
Clay, who was Q great fancicr of horses.
The commodore oncc brought home some
fancy live stock from the Mediterranean,
including AZ Andalusian jack. Clay was
anxious 10 buy 1t for his breeding farm in
Kentucky, but the commodore said: sI'll
give 1t TO you for your lot near the white
house." Done" said Clay and the ex-
change was made. The property fs now
