The following is taken from the
Portland Oregonian;
The Oregon Pacific road has al
WAYS been a puzzle to the average
citizen. 1t started from an obscure
little harbor, ran through poor sec
ton until it reached the Willamette
valley, and after a brief rest began
the toilsome and costly ascent of the
Cascade range. When it was near
the summit we were told that it was
to connect with the great Chicago &
Northw estern system. The Union
Pacific management at once opened
NEGOTIATIONS with the Chicago COM
many and soon effected a traffic ar
raprement which bids fair to keep
this company out of Union Pacific
tarritory. But for this the Chicago
| line would now be building rapidly
westward through Wyoming and Ida
bo to Oregon, and the Oregon Pacific
would be pushing eastward. 1t will
now pursue this policy slowly but
surely, and it will find strong com
pany ready to meet it more than hal
way. Four great systems are head
ed for thi. coast-the Burlington, tn
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul. tn

ONE GOOD INDIAN.

The death of old Timothy, the aged
Indian chief at the mouth of the
Alpowai, removes from among us
prominent character in the his
tory of the Northwest, says the East
Washingtonian. Though a red man
and springing from savage race, he
had many of the noblest attributes of
humanity. He was always the white
mans friend, and when the red hand
of murder was lifted, and the incsn-
diary torch was lighted, Timothy al
ways stood forth TO stay the arm of
the destroyer. Timothy and his lit
tie band have lived at the mouth of
the Alpowai for more than three
fourths Of a century, that is known,
and perhaps their ancestors for many
hundred years before. The mission
airy Spaulding planted them an orch
ard about 1887, when Red Wolf was
Nez Perce chief. Some of the old
trees remain yet. Ever since the set
tlement of the country, Timothy has
been the friend of the whites. Dur
ing one of the Indian wars old limo
thy fitted out a number of volunteers
from among his own people and sent
them to aid the whites against the
hostiles. For this act Of loyalty and
friendship toward our own people, he
never received any compensation.
The ponies that the Indian volunteers
took were lost in the fighting, and
we're never paid for. In 1858 Col,
Steptoe's command was whipped out
by the savage hordes and driven from
the Palouse and northern country to-
ward Snake river. The Colonel beat
a hasty retreat, following down the
deep gorge known to-day as Steptoe
canyon. When they reached Snake
river opposite the mouth of the AL
powai their horses were iaded and
they themselves exhausted. Had it
not been for the friendly help Of Tim
othy and his people in crossing them
over they would all have been butch
cred by blood-thirsty savages. The
history of the relations of the red men
to the whites on the North American
continent affords no brighter page
than that which records the friend
ship and loyalty of old Timothy
Though wrapped in the skin OF saw
age, he had the heart of a nobleman
The citizens of Pomeroy and Garfield

Among other things in his late
speech, Senator Dolph said that the
candltion Of the farmer of the United
States to-day, Notwithstanding the
depressed condition of agriculture, is
immeasurably better than before the
war. There is no doubt that in pro-
portion to their numbers there are
fewer mortgages on the farms; their
houses are homes of luxury compared
with the farm houses Of that period;
the log cabins and the cramped and
inconvenient farm houses, the kitchen
6re-places, the bare floors, the rough
walks, and home made furniture, the
cupboard of rough shelves, which
largely prevailed, have been sup
planted by modern cottages contain
ing the conveniences of life and the
farmers tables are loaded with food
that was then considered luxuries.
The appliances for cultivation, the
tools for plowing, sowing, reaping
and threshipg and the facilities for
marketing have all been improved;
the farmer, as rule, works fewer
hours, and his children do not go to
the field at so tender an age. The
hardest part Of his work, once done
by hand, is done by machinery.
His children are better clothed and
better educated. In short, in every
way, the farmer Of to-day, even if his
farm is mortgaged, lives better than
the man who held the mortgage did
in the ante bellum days. What does
our experience as nation during the
century of our existence show as to
the effect of protective policy upon
the farmer and upon the other pro-
ductive Industries of the country.
As we read our history in connection
with the tariff it shows that absolute
Iy all the prosperity of the farmers OF
this country, as we'll as all the pros
perity we have enjoyed as nation
has been enjoyed when the protective
policy prevailed, and that the aband-
onment of that policy in whole or ii
part, has always caused business
depression, scarcity of employment
low wages and hard times, and tha
at such times the farmer has alway.

BREATHING.

position on "Breathing," written by
Kentucky boy:
BREATHING.
Breathing is made Of air. We
breathe with our lungs, our lights
our liver and our kidneys. If it
wasn't for our breath we would die
whom we slept. Our breath keeps
the life agoing through the nose
when we are asleep. Boys that stay
in room all day should not breathe.
They should wait till they get out
doors. Boys in room make ear
bonicide. Carbonicide is poisoner
than mad dogs. A heap of soldiers
was in black hole in India, and a
carbonicide got In that there black
hole and killed nearly every one afors
morning. Girls kill the breath with
corsets that squeezes the diagram.
Girls can't run or holler like boys be-
cause their diagram is squeezed too
much. If was girl, I'd rather be
a boy, so | can holler and run and
have great big diagram.-Boston

Ben SoLoMo has made three loca-
tions on gold bearing veins near the
Golconda mine. One is an old loca-
ton, 1000 feet north of the Golcon-
da, at the head Of Huck klebeery gulch,
which Z tnl others located and
worked on in early days. a shaft
was sunk 90 feet, and the ledge cut
with csoss-cut from the bottom Of
the shaft. The vein there was twelve
feet wide, with numerous seams carry
ing good gold ore. They could not
get the ore crushed at that time with
out hauling a great distance, so it
was abandoned. There is lots of
rock on the dump that prospects
finely. He has relocated this under
the name of the Virginia. He has
location 800 feet below the site of the
Golconda mill. The ledge is two
feet and with from two to four inches
of high grade ore. No work has been
done yet except to uncover the ledge.
This location he calls the Volcano.
Another location-the Venus-just
above the mill site, is from two
to twelve inches, and has been traced
$500 feet, and prospects IN eight or
nine different places, all showing
gold, and two very rich. We saw
some of the rock tested, and it is
hiph grade.
