the column of the CHRONICLE to answer
portion of Mr.. Chatty's letter of July
the 18th inst, in regard to my training
a horse. 1 will admit that never asked
him whether Icopld train my horse or
not, did not think it was any of his
business AS for my crop suffering at
that date he was correct. 1t was suf-
fering for the want of rain if that was
what he had reference to, put if he had
reference to my crop suffering from my
neglect, he is simply a wilful prevarica-
tor. L think Mr.. Chatty was stranger
travelling through this country, as there
is nobody living here by that name.

EDITOR CHRoNIcLE-Few of the people
who have lived east of the mountains
for the past ten or twelve years will have
Efailed to:nbti ice some ofthe unmistakable
signs of climatic change which has been
gradually but surely taking place. Ten
or fifteen years ago man riding through
the country in the spring would mire
almost anywhere off the beaten road,
but for the past five years this has been
an, experience unknown. Springs are
failing. Many of the strongest, where
large herds of stock formerly watered,
now hardly afford water for span of
work horses. Crop failures were un-
known. .for the first twenty-five years
after the country was settled. The pres
ent season would have been a more COM
plete failure than the one two years ago
had it not been for the extraordinary
June rains. Another unmistakable
proof that there is less rain fall now
than formerly is the fact that so great
an amount of the forests are dying on
the eastern slope of the Cascades. Two
years age. Fifteen Mile creek ceased to
flow below Dufur, something previously
unknown to the oldest settlers. Now
the question arises, can the scientists
explain why this change, that there, is
less rainfall? think few of the observ-
ing will deny, and for this factI will not
pretend to offer an explanation but for
the fact that so many of the springs are
foS1 l.
plain reason. This country is all under
laid with bedrock, in some places very
near the surface and again at great
depths. The springs are all fed by sur
face water and, being above bedrock, the
springs which would be effected first, of
course, would be the ones where the
bedrock comes nearest the surface and
the facts bear out this theory. Now as
to cause. When this country was COW
cred with bunch grass from two to three
feet high the ground was rough and'very
loose, like sponge it absorbed and held
all the water which fell. Also the old
grass which covered the ground with q
mulch from one to two inches in depth
was protection against frost, SO that,
no matter how fast the snow melted or
the rain fell, it all went into the ground.
Now note the change and you will see
ample cause for the effect or uice versa at
the present time the ground is tramped
solid, smooth and bare by, the countless
thousands of horses and cattle that the
once luxuriant bunch grass produced
so that even hard June rain will send
the water coursing down the gulches,
instead of being held to gradually soak
in and feed the springs.
You may call these the views of a
croaker; would that they were no more
than this but facts are stubborn things
andshave to be looked squarely in the
face and from them, if possible, we
should learn some practical lessons.
The coil we have is of the best quality,
and the water which falls from heaven
is our wealth. Have you not noticed
this wealth, flowing off of an unplowed
field, while the fallow ground adjoining
was absorbing every drop to return it to
you in plump cerals of golden grain at
harvest time. R. G..

Will Graham, the restaurant man,
could give Governor Merriam pointer
on stopping slugging matches. At noon
to-day two young, fellows had a tussle on
the streets of this city and the way Will
stopped the procession, is commended to
all who are interested in the maintain
anee of good, order, The fight began op-
posite French's bank on / Washington
street, and as the com batants warmed
up to the work they kept moving south
tilLthey came nearly opposite the res
taurant. That's where they fooled them
selves. Graham was watching his
chances, with hose in hand, and being
aniold fireman, he knew where to plant
stream of water so that it would do the
most good. Just as one of the boys had
got blow in the jugular that made him
anxious to quit, Graham turned on the
hose and if ever mortal man made a
mile in a minute those two boys did.

The last meeting of the season of The

freshments were .sefyedy and just before

made wonderful progress in its musical
studies since its organization, the chief
credit for which can be given to Mr.. G.

musical instruction. The organization
is credit to this city and has added
much to the social enjoyment of The

it is expected that in the near future the

from the drum major on the best method
of getting off a machine without break

FEDERATED TRADES.
IrOn-M Holders Foroibly Condemn 4
Daily Ranorr

IrOn-MoIders Foroibly Condemn the
Daily Report.
The meeting of the Council OF Federated
Trades was largely devoted To a discussion
of the differences between the Boot and
Shoe Makers Union and certain employers.
Upon the report of the Executive Com
mittee it was resolved to order a strike in
one Of the factories unless the schedule Of
wages is restored.
The Executive Committee also reported
that it had visited the United Working
mems Factory with request that it be
uniOniZed. The Superintendent agreed to
bring the matter before the Board Of Di-
TectorS on Monday night The owners Of
the factory sent a communication to the
council in which they said that their object
was TO elevate the condition Of the working
men.
The upholsterers denied the truth of GER
tain statements recently published as en-
anating from F. S. Chadbourne.
j. 5. Collins, Secretary of the Molders'
Union, read an editorial that appeared re-
Gently in the Report, In which the writer in
timated that Valentine was coming back to
end the strike, and that certain members Of
the union were growing rich. while others
were str juggling along on ST per week.
Il W ish to say" said Collins, that the
Report says that some of our members have
become rich since the strike. Let IL prove
that one of us has gained on account of the
trouble and he will be summarily expelled
from the organization.
"The Report never was what you might
call good friend of ours. They were al
ways willing TO give the employers side
and suppress the workingnan's. They are
now trying to throw us down in the most
cUwardly and contemplate fashion, but
when we are struck cowardly blow we
propose to strike back"
A motion was made to refer the matter to
the Executive Committee for action, but
Delegate OConnelI argued that no action
should be taken in the matter, as 1t was too
Insignificant for notice.
Delegate Finnerty said that the Report is
such small paper no one should feel
aggrieved on account OF its utterances, and
the motion to refer to the Executive Com
mittee was voted down,

The Fund of the W. II. C. Assisted by
Nine. Halpruner.
The entertainment and bazaar for the
benefit of the Relief Fund of Lincoln Relief
Corps, No. 8, w. r. c., which has been in
progress at Irving Hall during the past two
days, and which will close tonight, has thus
far proved an unqualified success. The
lunch which is served at noon for all who
may desire to contribute to the fund in this
manner is as generous and az well served
as can be had at any restaurant in this city
and at as reasonable price. Last night
there was an additional attraction presented
in the person Of Nine. Halpruner. WHO sang
the aria from the barber of Seville" In
this composition she covered two and a half
octaveS. from G below the register to C
above, every note being brought out
with wonderful purity and correct
ness. For u first encore she sang
I'll Baccio." and having been brought
out third time she gave, in beautifully
effective manner. THE Last Rose of Sum
mer," showing that she is not only finished
artistic, but an accomplished actress. There
were two matters that initiated against her
last night. One was she was far from being
well, and the other was that the hall Is ell
tirely unfit for artistic singing. She was
accompanied on the piano by Miss Edith
johnson. graduate of the Boston Conser-
vatoire and perfect mistress of the in
strument. Her sympathetic touch was of
great assistance to Nine. Halpruner under
the circumstances.
The lady was TO have sung her first selec-
ton at 9 10 O'Clock, but just at the moment
she was about to be announced the tent con-
tanning THE "reminiscences of the War"
took fire, and amid the confusion incident
upon the extinguishment of the flames the
band struck up waltz, and the floor was
soon filled with whTling dancers. a cotill0n
followed, and then the singing. A gentle
man who was present said that the
"Reminiscences" would all be on hand to-
day as good as new. This afternoon there
Will be a chldren's entertainment at
