IN CALM AND STORM.

o seal thou art so false and yet 30 fairl
Erewhile in summer silence thou didst
sleep.
And lazily thy lapsng waves did creep
Along the shining sands, while here and there
A toying breath Of soft autumnal air
Dropped down TO kiss and curl the drowsy

So like a tigress lurking in her lair
A serpent coiled TO strike me unaware
For now thy marching waves in rhythmic
sweep,
Like white plumed squadrons, charge tho

And Keeling tempests rave, and hghtnings

While waiting wives and mothers watch

Wool Matters.

Several loads of wool arrived at Moody's
warehouse last evening and some this morn.
ing, and, we understand, there are very
many on the road to The Dalles from the
interior. The cold weather has delayed
shearing; but it may be expected to begin
in good earnest if the warm days
continue. So far as received the clip is In
excellent condition, and the fibre shows the
effect of a favorable winter. From the
range on which sheep feed wool cannot be
entirely free from dirt; but this season it is
much better than formerly. The market is
still in very unsatisfactory condition, and
buyers are only offering 10 and IL cents,
while last year prices ranged from IA to l6
cents, Sellers are not disposed to accept
this offer, and will hold the product hoping
for future rise. We apprehend no great
buoyancy this year, for, aside from the agl-
tatlon of the silver question making money
matters tight. the advent of the Democratic
party In power will have a tendency to
make dealers look to the foreign product,
which can be laid Down in Boston at much
lower figure than that grown in this country.
For these reasons it will be no surprise If
the market do not reach the mark of last
season.

A Railroad Needed.

Editor IMEs-MouNTAINEER:
Some three weeks ago 1 received card
from a prominent citizen living south OF

citizens of this place and vicinity to see if
the people wanted railroad from The
Dalles up Rock creek and on south. L ar
ranged to have meeting called, and sent

to have notices printed; but by some mis-
take he simply printed notice il his paper
that came out on Friday, only giving one
days notice, h nee the meeting was fail
ure. However, quite a number came and
were strongly in favor of such road. I
have talked with most of the farmers since
and they are not only in favor of a road
from The Dalles, but are willing and anx-
ious to give something to forward the en-
terprise. The grain grown in Gillian county
this year will be IN the millions of bushels,
and transportation to tine head of naYiga-

After MANY Years.

DR.. L. Vanderpool, of Dufur, came In
town to-day to meet his brother, Mr.. G. M.
Vanderpool, who is delegate to the state
grange from Benton county. While here
he met his oldest brother, Mr.. David S.
Vanderpool from Benton county, and on the
train Mr.. Willard Vanderpool, his son, ar
rived from attending the grand lodge of
Odd Fellows at Eugene. These gentlemen
are accompanied by their wives, and the
doctor intends to take them ont to his home
at Dufur and hold family reunion. 1t
will be many years since the brothers all
sat around the same table, and, together
with his and their wives and his son and
wife there will be large family circle. The
cup Cf cheer will be passed around, and the
time will be spent in "reminiscences of an
almost forgotten past. In 1852 the doctor
and bis brothers arrived at The Dalles after
crossing the plains. and his train camped on
Three Mile creek. Coming here In the even
ing the doctor purchased some provisions at
the only building or store in town, and night
came upon him black and gloomy before he
could return. He rode his cayuse out to
cave In the side of the hill where the Sherar
grade is now located, and slept soundly all
night with his saddle-b blanket under him
and coat over HIM. The only disturbance
was when his horse scampered down the
hill. scared at some wild animal He
reached the grassy fat below and fed there
till morning. From The Dalles the doctor
and his brothers rode ouer the Cascade
mountains to the Willamette valley. This
Is over forty years ago, and the incidents
are as distinct in the doctors memory as
though they happened yesterday.

Portv Years Ago

Perhaps there is no one now living who
has clearer recollection of early days in
Eastern Oregon than Mr.. j. W. Coventon,
and he is always willing to relate his expe.
riences. He first visited the northwest IN
1886, when he trapped through this region
during that and the following year. In
1850 he crossed the plains and camped in
September near the mouth of Mill creek.
This was the point then at which Immi-
grants left their horses and wagons and took
the river route to the settlements in the
Willamette valley. There were no steam.
boats on the Columbia, and the pioneers
would make any kind of craft in which to
float down the river. At the Cascades there
was always great difficulty in making the
portage, but these sturdy immigrants man
aged to transport their boats around the
rapids and reach dead water below. There
is chapter of hardships In this portion of
the toilsome journey of the Oregon pioneers
that may never be fully written. Mr. Cow
enton says there were fully one hundred old
wagons, In every stage of dilapidation, scat.

business was a lucrative one. When he ar
rived here there was only one shanty on
Mill creek, near the rock pile. and few
articles OF merchandise were kept on sale.
A company of soldiers were camped on the
bluff, near where the academy now stands,
and these used tents. A Hawkins rife
which Mr.. Coventon brought with him
from Missouri, and tor which he paid $50 in
St. Louis, he sold here for SIS and an old
yoger thrown in. He was very glad to real
Ize this amount for his gun, although he
had killed considerable game with it on the
plains, but the journey had been long and
tiresome and his funds had been exhausted.
His troubles did not end at The Dalles. but
he considered that he had arrived at the
promised land and hope buoyed him II
until he reached the settlements some
weeks later.

Crops, Etc The rains keep tine soil in
fine condition; but there is an absence of
sunshine and warmth, which are neces-
sary for the more rapid growth and the
development of vegetation. The wheat
prospects are excellent, and if no hot
winds should occur the yield will be
phenomenal. There has been general
increase in the acreage of cereals. The

warehouses, and is of excellent quality
and staple. Sheep shearing continues in
progress. In the interior counties the
fruit buds are swelling and opening, but
the backward conditions continue. In
Morrow county poplars are in leaf. Box
elders and locusts are just opening. The

Death of Mr.. J. Mcdonald.

MIR. James Mcdonald, who has been sick
with consumption for several months past.
died yesterday morning at o'clock at the
family residence on Chenoweth creek. He
was able to walk around until the past two
days since which time he has been confined
to his bed. Together with his father and
mother, four brothers and two sisters, he
came to The Dalles in 1878. and in the fall
of that year the family moved on the farm
where they now reside. For several years
Mr.. Mcdonald and his brother Walter were
in business in this city, until the fire of
September, 1891, and since he has
lived with his mother. He was genial,
good hearted companion and had many
friends among his acquaintance. At the
time of his death he was 38 years old, and
until the dreadful disease afflicted him bid
fair to live to good old age. The funeral
will take place Sunday from the residence
on Chenoweth creek at 1920 A. M.
