the Hill men, who sat back and grinued

They realized for the first time that there

for the benefit OF tile galleries.

come around.
Had the vote been taken last night there
is not a man in town who does not believe
that Murphy would have been defeated
but then it was not taken, and that gave
English time to exhibit Irish and Maloney
as the TWO horrible examples.
The good old farmers from the Sixth Con-
gTessi0nal District were told that Irish was
a bad aud dangerous man, aud had even
been seen to speak to ". II. Mills. This
did not work al first, but it finally began to
WELD an influence, and when Ostrom looked

He Took the Hint,

One Of the story telling clergymen in at
tendance upon the recent Methodist Confer
ence in Utica told in the hearing of an OBJ
seruer representative an incident in which the
joke was on himself. In u neghboring city.
while attending Conference he was invited to
occupy the pulpit in Presbyterian church.
IL was in the evening. and he warmed up to
the occasion as the services progressed. He
was speaking without notes, and was so fully
taken up with his subject that he did not
notice that some of his listeners were getting
restless aud were wondering when the bene-
dicti0n would be reached. There was at least
one Methodist brother in the congregation, for
frequently during his sermon he had heard
hearty "amens" como from one Of the pe,ys
The preacher had talked and talked, and it
was after o'clock when, as he asked an i'm
pressive question of his audience and paused
as il for an answer. a little girl in a seat near
the center OF the house spoke out so loudly
that she could be heard in every part of the
church: Mamma, | want to 90 home"
" Ameni" shouted the brother in the corner
who was evidently oblivious of the remark of
the tired little one. Without waiting for the
completion Of his argument the dominic said
he closed the book and announced the hymn.

ON A WAR FOOTING.
The Method of Modelling the German
Army.
EGrper's AIogaziae.1

LcgQztael
The work of placing the army from the peace
organization on a war footing is called mobilize
ton. 1t must be performed and finished within
given number of days The order to mobilize
issues from the Emperor, and is made known
forthwith TO all military and civil authorities,
as well as TO the people, the former being noti-
fed by telegraph. A mobilization effects not
only public iife but the business and profess
SIGNAL relations Of every individual. From the
moment the order is given, spirited and we'll
directed activity is displayed By every troop
to get ready in time, everybody knowing be-
forehand what is required of him in this
emergency.
The first step to be taken Is to call in the re-
serves, in order to fill up the ranks of the
standing army and to form new troops. This
is done by writing summonsss issued from
headquarters of the district commanders.
These summonses are kept always ready, and
every man liable so service in the army or
navy is pledged to heed them without delay.
AT the same time the levy of horses is begun,
of which there is very considerable number
required for the train, for mounting officers
and military officials and for the formation of
new troops. All measures connected with
mobilization mapped out in every detail
during peace-time, the army being practically
prepared for this change at any time.
The organization of a modified army corps
is similar TO that III peace The additional
formations are independent cavalry divisions,
composed Of number Of cavalry regiments
Withdrawn from the regular divisions; also
reserve divisions and depot and Landwehr
formations of every kind The duty of the
latter is to maintain the active army at full
strength, and to garrison places at home as well
rs or near the seat OF war.
The army corps is further replcnished by its
allotment of train columns and sanitary detach-
ments. The artillery Of the army corps is
partly distributed among the divisions, partly
used in the formation OF corps artillery,
which is placed under the independent COM
mand Of a General. The pioneer battalion is
broken up aud the several companies are de.
tached 10 the divisions Additional forna-
tions are finally required for the mail, tele-
graph, balloon, and railway service.
At the head OF the entire German army Is
the Emperor From army corps and cavalry
divisions armies are formed and placed under
special command and administration. As soon
as the army moves. the etappea are organized
for the purpose OF keeping APP connection with
the rear, if possible by railways.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In an article
in your paper of the issue of March 8, the
writer, Henry Metz referred to me as q resi-
dent of and able to give Information regarding
eastern Oregon. Since that article was pup.
lished / have received so many letters from all
parts of the East inquiring about the resources,
climate and general character of this country,
that with your permission / will give brief
description of this country, so that all who are
interested may obtain the facts through the
columns of your valuable paper.
Eastern Oregon embraces all that part OF the
State lying east of the Cascade Mountains.
The country is composed for the most part OF
high, undulating plateau, and few years ago
was entirely covered with luxuriant growth
OF bunch-grass. This grass, however. is now
rapidly disappearing, and the pastures are be-
coming titled farms. The uplands now are
the most sought after for farming purposes
and are regularly producing from 10 to 81
bushels Of wheat TO the acre.
The soil is a light sandy or ashy loan, and
as. you approach the mountains it becomes
darker and heavier. This soil is peculiarly
adapted for raising small grain-wheat, rye
and barley being the principal crops. AS an
indication of the success which attends wheat
raising in eastern Oregon | wish to call atten-
ton to the fact that there was shipped from
Arlington in Gillian County, and from Hepp-
ner and other smaller shipping points in Nor
row County, of the crop of 1891, 100000
bushels of wheat, being the product of the two
Counties named. And this, remember. is pro-
duced from less than half the available farm
land in these two Counties.
The number of cattle and horses has de-
creased very much in the last few years, and
while it is true that the sheep have been
driven back toward the foothills and into the
mountains, they are increasing rather than
diminishing. There was shipped as the clip
from the sheep in the two Countries above
mentioned for the year 1891, 1925, 0O0 pounds
of wool. Wheat sold last year at an average
price of about 70 cents per bushel. and wool
brought an average price of Is cents per pound.
Apples peaches, pears plums, and prunes,
also ali sorts of vegetables and berries, sue
and their quality is excellent and the yield
all that could be desired.
The climate is dry and healthy. On the
bunch grass prairie malaria is unknown; this
is poor country for doctors unless they want
to go TO wheat raising. The Winters are short,
averaging about six weeks
Gillian and Morrow Counties each are
bounded on the north by the great Columbia
River, and running along its southern bank is
the Union Pacific Railroad In each of these
Counties there is still vast amount of vacant
Government land. thousands of acres having
reverted TO the Government by reason of the
forfeiture law passed at the last Congress.-D.

Tie OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Free,

That there are more wonders on the earth,
in the sea beneath the EARTH" and in the sky
above it than ever Horatio imagined, is we'll
known fact which that worthy's most ardent
admirers will not attempt to deny. Take for
instance the famous needle-and- thread tree
Imagine such a luxury and the delights of 60
ing out to your tree and plucking a needle
threaded already for use Odd as it may seem
to us there is, OH the Mexican plains, just such
a forest growth. The tree" may not exactly
be a tree in the true sense of the word par
taking as it does more of the nature and char
acteristcs of gigantic species of asparagus.
1t has large, thick, feshy leaves, such would
remind one of the cactas, especially of the one
popularity known as 'prickly pear" The
:. needles" of the needle and-threa tree are
set along the edges of these thick, feshy leaves.
In order to obtain one fully equipped for sew
ing. it is only necessary to push the needle"
gently back wards into the fieshy sheath, this
to loosen it from the tough outside covering of
the leaf, aud then pull it gently from the
socket. If this operation be properly carried
out, 100 or more fine Ebers adhere to the thorn
like so many spider webs. By twisting the

thread can be made of any length desired. The
