The following beautiful tribute to
The memory Of a loved child was
sent us from California with request
that we print it in the BULLETIN.
As the gifted authoress was great
favorite Of the editor of this paper
in her childhood days, away back
in the early COS, we cheerfully
comply:
California, January 2s, 1889, lonS HEsRy, Young
est child OF Julius and Nelly Toda, aged year,
II months and 3 days.
A fair, pure spotless flower plucked by the ruth
less hand Of the reaper Desth- too sweet bud to
bloom on earh-God thought best to call 1t to bios
som In heaven
The family chain il broken; the brightest link Il
gone: the household pet and pride IL taken from low
Ing hearts, from the sins and Of this life. Nc
khorny paths will the little feet trea heavy bur
ens for the little arms TO bear no stains Of sin on
the spotess little soul; aching troubles for the
little heart.
Little Johnny Toda was loved ty all His bright
sweet. winning ways and childish beauty and wisdom
made him universal pet, aud his death is deepl,
incurred by every one who knew him. The empty
chair and cradle the vacant seat at the table, tn.
playthings toys I'D little garments will all remind
us OF our darling babe given for so short time Il
twine his sweet young life around our hearts
To the Borrowing parents there IL little comfort
little consolation for their irreparabc loss only the
consciousness OF the sweet repose Of their loved
I'm the bosom Of Heavenly Father and the restor
atom to their arms In that world beyond the kive
Of 1me.
Ere sin could harm or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly care,
The opening bud to heaven conveyed
Aud babe It blossom there. b..

LET THE FACTS BE KNOWN.

The following from the Lexington
Budget applies very forcibly to
Mountain Home and vicinity:
An immense immigration is pour
ing into Washington, and thousands
monthly arrive in Portland. From
the car windows as the train follows
along the Columbia opposite this
region the aspect is not calculated to
inspire immigrants with desire to
stop and inquire about the country.
They do not know that they would
find as productive and rich soil as
lies out Of doors; that this county
offers cheap homes already improv-
ed, or vacant land for the asking;
that the Industrious settler with a
small capital can do as we'll here Us
any other part Of the United States;
that potatoes weighing five or six
pounds, parsnips three feet long.
carrots four inches in diameter and
other things in proportion grow here
without irrigation. These things
should be brought to the notice Of
the home-seekers. They should
Do directed into this region, and its
advantages pointed Quite them
The settlers here want others to 10
cate among them, that they may
have more neighbors and better
school facilities; the merchants o.
the town want more farmers and
town residents to come in, as theil
business will be increased thereby
Then various means should be de
viscd to turn this way portion o
the stream of immigration; ant
when once the home-seekers begil
coming here and finding out wha
awaits thrift and industry amon
these hills and hollows, the futur
Of the town and county is assured
Each emigrant has friends in tn
cast who are waiting to learn wher
lie has located and what kind {
country he has found, and ever
one who makes his home here wi
be followed by others. For thi
reason it is the duty Of every settle
and business man already here t
do his part toward laying befor
others at distance the facts abor
this country.

Story Of a Fishing Excursion.
From the Washington Post.

Eugene Field, the author of the
"Sharps and Flats" column of the Chica-
go Daily News, has three boys who, if
they do pretty nearly as they please
and do it in a highly original manner,
are only chips of the old block. One
day in the mid-winter, when Chicago's
1ar-famed lake breeze had driven the
thermometrical mercury down into the
bulb and was sitting on it to keep it
down, the three Field boys did not
come at the usual hour for returning
from school. Dinner was held off for
them until almost eight o'clock, and
then. as the rest of the family sat at the
table, one of the boys came softly in,
wearing on his face and all over his
ann the most positive evidence that
he had been up to mischief.
where are your brothers" asked
the father.
They're down stairs" said Pinney,
bringing up the fish? ?"
what fish ?"
"Ihe fish we caught"
"Where have you been fshing?"
"Down to the lake. You see it was
this way, papa. We was awful cold and
we saw smoke coming up from the lake
and we went down there to get warm"
They had seen the steam rising from
the water and haC gone out about a
mile over the ice to "get warm"
Presently, when he thought Pinney
had satisfactorily explained their alb
sence from home and established peace,
the other two boys, Melvin and Eu-
