A Sad Death.

The sad news was telegraphed to the
coroner from North Powder that the re-
mains of dead man had been found on the
road leading to this city near the farm OF
Andrew Riggs. Later it was ascertained
that the unfortunate man was identified as
being the person of c. L. Means, an old
pioneer of the county and well known IN
the educational circles, having followed at
various times the vocation of teacher in the
public schools Of this county. 1t seems
that the deceased attempted to walk from
North Powder to this city, distance OF
twenty miles, and was either overcome by
the extaeme cold or died from heart disease
brought on by fatigue. He was aged about
65 years, and besides having followed the
vocation of teacher he filled the office OF
county surveyor for several terms. He was
well respected and leaves small estate.

Indications Of Breakup in the Cold
Heather-Loss OF Cattle.

ERsKINEvILLE, March 3, 1890.
| Editor TINES -MOUSrAINsER.
To-day is the first indication of break,
up in this horrible cold winter. Last
Tuesday it was cold; Wednesday snow
Thursday and Friday clear and cold; Sat
| urday showed about two hours; Sunday
thawed about two hours; after sleeting
about three hours to-day, it began raining
| and freezing. The roads are a sea of ice
but as it is so much warmer We are in
hopes of a breakup.
AT present writing, we are informed, by
good authority, that Mr Carl has lost 30
head of cattle; Cramer Bros, 450 sheep;
Bates Clark, l5 head of cattle; Adam
Keast has lost about per cent. of all his
sheep. Mr. Perault informs US that the
canyons out in his country is strewn with
dead stock, all died this last cold weather
or second winter.
This winter has been so cold and pro-
tracted that great many aresout of wood

scarce, but we think everything indicates
better weather IN the future
At the annual school meeting today c.
A. Huff was elected director, Mr.. Carl

E. G. Messenger, son OF g. W. Messin-

MORO ITEMS.
The Winter Loss OF Cattle-County
Seat Question, Etc.
Moro. Or. March 3, 1890.

| Moro. Or, March 3. 1890.
Editor TINES -MouNTAINEER:
Not seeing many items from the central
part of our important county lately, we
concluded to send you few lines.
Moro has been quite dull during the win
ter but is expected to take boom when
spring opens. We cannot give glowing
account of damage done to city property
during the late storm, in fact we believe tie
damage done to live stock has been far
greater than the wreck of buildings through
out the county.
We were sorry to learn, through our
Milbra correspondent, of the great damage
done to town property in that place by the
cyclone, however, it reminded ua of the boy
who offered his comrade bite of apple,
and after viewing the remains exclaimed,
you take the apple and give me the bite.
We haven't seen Milbra since the wind
storm, but if it was damaged to the amount
of $500, we could not give much for the
wreck. Nevertheless we do not wish to
discourage anyone from investing in Er.
skineville property as it is very pretty
little place. and may yet prove to be an
important point.
The winter has been quite severe and ex.
tremely tedious, and stockmen are longing
to see bunchgrass again, and even farmers
are anxious to see the snow 60, as their
feed is almost exhausted and teams viii
hardly be able to do the amount of work |
planned for this trIn The weather has |
moderated and at present the snow is thaw-
ing slowly.
Politicians are already buzzing around
trying to locate the county seat and elect
county officers; but as the county seat can
not be on every body's farm, and every body
cannot get Office, We expect it will make
some of them dance, and make them con-
tribute to churches, schools and other good
institutions before the matter is settled.
We hope to see much good accomplished
This year, as well as the inevitable harm
that comes of strife. We need not quarrel
with our neighbors If they want the toaon
/ little nearer the corner of their farm, but
should be reasonable and work together for
The greatest good to the greatest number,
ourselves that the county
eat cannot possibly be very far from every
me of US. SCRIBBLER.

suitable candidate. 1t matters very litsle
from what portion of the state he comes,

representative of the thrifty farmer as can

THE WILD MAN OF THE SEA.

BYI.s.
| The summer winds blew soft and mild
Across the western ocean wide
| When sat down upon the beach
To watch the flowing ebbing tide.
The surging billows tossed their foam
High in the sunlights golden rays,
And as listened to its sighs
1t seemed to speak of sadder days.
An hour Of undisturbed thought
Passed by, when up before me rose
A man who said to me he came
The seas sad story to unfold.
He took seat down by my side
Upon the silvery glistenIng sand:
His look was mild, his voice was strange,
He heaved sigh and then began.
Twas many, many years gone by
When I, a bright and happy boy,
Bid mother dear fond farewell
And saw her loving face no more.
She said, Remember now my darling boy
You're going far from mothers care;
But though you sail to unknown lands,
You'll ever have mothers prayer"
wiped away her burning tears
And said, "Oh mother, weep no more,
Before another year has passed
Well meet again upon this shore.''
1 sailed away upon the deep,
And last saw was mothers tear;
But often midst the tempest tossed
I thought of that dear mothers prayer.
Long years rolled by before I came
Again to my dear mothers side;
And when l came the people said
She slept beneath the ebbiEg tide.
They said she watched for my return
Until the Master called her home;
She said, "My boy hes meath the waves,
So make my grave by him alone"
And now each day at eventide
The waves bring up pleasant smile,
And mother says, "Will Arthur come,
Or must l wait little while"
With one wild scream the madman turned
And threw himself into the stream;
He sank, he rose, he cried for help;
Ah! awoke. Twas but dream.

KINGSLEY, March 8, 1850.
Editor TINES -MogNTAMKER:
You will please add the names of ]. w.
Carey and E. Williams to your list for the
weekly for this precinct.
The average farmer here will be able to
preserve his stock through this severe
winter, as We expect it will wind up with
this storm which occurs today. 1t is
raining and freezing at the same time,
leaving it almost impossible for stock to
live on the outside. The heaviest loss
which l hear of is among large stock
owners, their stock having gone into the
winter poor, occasioEed by shortage of
grass and water on the range last summer,
added TO this u shortage of crops to supply
the much needed provender. James Alb
bott, of Warinitia, is among the heaviest
losers, he having lost about 2500 head of
sheep together with some fine Short Horn
cattle. Hon. VIM. Med. Lewis is another
heavy loser. The only stockman in this
nelghborhood is Matthew Theurborn who,
to the writer's knowledge, has been max
ing preparations for this storm during the
past four years, by accumulating hay and
building one OF the finest sheep sheds in
Wasco county to protect his sheep. He is
now feaping ,he well merited benefit of
his wisdom, having lost but few head,
