During the week we have converse
with farmers from all portions of th

Portland Dispatch: Captain Pease has
gone down to the beach, north of Gray's
harbor, to superintend the work of re-
moving the steel rails from the wreck Of
the British ship Abercorn, which was lost
there some two years since. The rails
were bought by Messrs. Cannon & Mohr,
of Spokane, and were to haye been used
In building portage road around the
dailes of the Columbia. An effort was
made to land the rails last summer, but
only few hundred tons were secured.
There are about 1000 tons still in the
wreck. About 900 feet of the wharf built
out to the wreck is still standing, and the
part washed away will be restored at
once, and Captain Pease.l Is confident he
will succeed in securing the rails.
In the wilds of Deep creek, "a Washing
ton tributary of the Lower Columbia,
lived a family; man, wife and two chill
dren aged ii and 0. Man abusive; wife
left home and went to Astoria, taking
children. Man followed ana took chii-
dren home and continued to treat them
badly. Thep there was a youthful re-
solve. Secretly, while father was away,
they built raft, and one night when he
thought they were asleep they boarded it,
and without oars or sails floated down in
to the Columbia, there seven or eight
miles wide. They were rescued when al
most perlshlng from cold, and while they
were fast drifting out 10 sea. If that man
comes after them any more he'll wish he
hadn't.
1t is generally understood that conyicts
are never allowed to talk with each other.
The following from the Statesman Is in
seresting: w. w. Saunders, life-timer,
told reporter that the admiration of the
institution and the wonderment of visitors
was the "Con Gazette" He says news
travels from cell 10 cell and through the
institution with the rapidity of lightning,
and yet no one knows on what wings it is
carried. He SAID he would venture the
that before the reporters had
been within the enclosure ten minutes
every man ION the inside" would know
that couple of Statesman reporters were
making tour of the institution. And all
of this news passes from mouth to mouth
with such rapidity as to astonish even
the prisoners themselves.
A prohibition meeting was held at the
court house last evening, and a good de
gree of enthusiasm was displayed. The
meeting was addressed by Mr.. c. j.
Bright and Revs. ]. M. Dennison, T. G
Hoagson, M. w. Schulze and w. c. Cur
tis. OF course the old parties received a
scoring from Alpha 10 Omega, and the
"Prohi'' was the party on which rested
the hopes of the country. Regarding the
record of the Republican party there is
nothing of which any member need be
from the emancipation proc
lamation to the resumption of specie
If these fanatical prohibltlon
lists were ever to secure control of affairs
we might expect in little while to see
The country thrown back to the witch
hanging and Quaker prosecuting era of
tie old Puritans.
Hood River valley has for many years
boeu renowned for her peaches, prunes.
apples, strawberris, ETC., and the stream
also furnishes good fishing. 1t was our
pleasure TO listen to disciple of Isaac
Walton to-day describe the piscatorial
beauties of this mountain river. He
says speckled trout can be caught with
Z 4 = at all seasons of the year, and as
late az Christmas, with foot of snow on
the ground, he has been fortunate enough
TO haul them 10 the bank. About
week ago he caught the largest trout he
ever saw, and il touched the beam at 8
pounds. Our friend, the follower of
Isaac Walton, is infatuated with Hood
River, and there is no one who will not
admire bis judgment. The valley possess
;es sparkling springs, grand scenery,
shady groves, fertile soil, and all other
for pleasant and attractive
home-Iife.
