FRENCH FROGS.

This reporter discovered last Monday
that there are frogs and frogs, little
frogs and big frogs, yearling frogs and
~two-year-old frogs and so on without
end, on all of the ranches below. Not
swamp frogs, nor bull frogs, nor rail-
way frogs, but French frogs, edible
frogs, frogs with fat hind legs like the
pictures we see OF ''Our Taste Hams"
No one hereabouts knows what these
frogs are worth on the market, but
those who have tried them say they are
worth five dollars a dozen of any mans
money on the table. These frogs are
not natives of this valley, or Of Nevada,
although they do well here and multi
pip amazingly fast. The original stock
consisting OF se%venty-ive or eighty
frogs, was brought here in a barley sack

about five years ago by Albert Frey
Albert obtained them at his uncle's
ranch (Joe Frey's), near Reno. Joe
Frey obtained his stock some years be-
fore from some other locality.
About ten years ago when French
frogs were placed on the New York
market they sold for fifty cents apiece.
They still bring a good price. Perhaps
some of our Nevada farmers could make
money in the frog business says the
Genoa Courier. Several small boys
have been doing a thriving business
here lately catching frogs and selling
them but none but experts would eat
them, many claiming the frogs not
edible. From the foregoing it appears
the epicures have been having "a snap.

which in the last year has quickened its

to this city, and any day the announce
ment may be made that The Dalles hal

Pendleton is being much talked about
throughout the state because of the
woolen mill, the construction of which is
now assured. To the extent OF scour-
ing mill, which has had successful
season, and the projected woolen mill !,
Pendleton is ahead of The Dalles. A
little outside capital invested here will
regain the lost ground and with the
natural advantages which we undoubt-
edlv possess, place US first In the race.
The money put in the D. P. & A. N. Co.
proved the best investment this COM
munity ever made and history of the
boat line should be stimulus to a
further reaching out to help ourselves.
The Dalles should have had the woolen
mill that Pendleton is to receive. A
pay roll makes lively town. The es-
tablishment of few factories which
would give employment to labor would
make The Dalles the second city in the
state. Salem has woolen mill and
other factories, which have played the
great part in that city's growth. We
hope before another year is past to see
this city boast of some enterprises with
pay rolls.
