day from the lower Cascades to the foot of

Bro d. G. Ireland, of the Sun. returned
Saturday evening from extended tour OF
the county. He says the rain on that day
was very general over the farming district.
The farmers are happy, and, he says, even
the coyotes smiled from the fence corners as
the wagon, in which he and his companions
were riding. passed. There is no question
that the rain was the one thing necessary
for good crops, and bountiful harvest is
almost certain.
The Sherar grade, to and from Five Mile.
is an excellent piece of road. Every gully
has been brIdged, and in places there are
.'fills" fifty feet deep. The road follows the
left hand bank of the washout coming to
Five Mile, and the grade continues to the
summit of the hill between that creek and
Three Mile. MIR. Sherar has good success
In building roads, and this one, if anything,
eelIpses all his former efforts. There is
nothing more conducive to the growth of
town than good roads, and we want as many
as possible of these In Wasco county.
Eastern Oregon sunlight has always been
the delight OF visitors, the air has been in
vigoratIng, and the forests have been
great resort for hunters. But blue Skies
the ozone in the atmosphere, and wild game
in glen and wood are not the only attrac-
tions of the region east of the Cascade
mountains. There are also thousands of
speckled trout In the streams, and Isaac
Walton would consider it perfect paradise.
The person who can fully demonstrate this
fact is MIR. G. L. Phillips, who makes tour
every Saturday in the neighboring streams,
and always comes home with his basket
full. On his last trip he caught l70 trout, ,and
some of these were very toothsome, OF
which fact the editor can bear testimony.
