Senator Frank A. Day, ex-Lieutcn

THE skAeuAY BLOCKADE.
Mr.. John Parrott Writes of the situa-
tiOn There.
SKAGUAY, Aug. u, 1897.

SKAGUAY, Aug. 81, 1897.
EDITOR CHRONICLE:
DEAR SIR Il suppose you have heard
something about the great blockade at
Skaguay City. It is something a person
would have to see to realize what it is
When your writer first landed here the
blockade meant too much freight and
not enough pack horses, and now it
signifies much more. There are so many
horses that it is almost impossible to get
over the trail, which is very narrow.
Pack trains are delayed over one-half
of the time in passing. A number of
horses are killed every day by meeting
in dangerous places where one horse
crowds the other off the trail. Some
fall down and get up without being
hurt, and others fall over the embank-
ment anywhere from ten to six hundred
feet.
Three weeks ago Skaguay was little
city of about 300 white tents, and now
there are about one hundred buildings
under construction and about eight
hundred tents. A saw mill commenced
to cut lumber yesterday, with a capacity
of sc, 900 feet daily. One large wharf is
completed and another is under con-
struction. Nineteen large steamships
have landed here since August 4th load
ed with miners and their Klondike out
fits. Provisions and board are very
cheap here, providing person does his
own cooking. Flour Is rs cents per
sack; a small loaf of bread is worth 25
cents; beef steak is 40 cents per pound 1;
bacon cents per pound; very thin
pie costs so cents; dried fruit is
from to cents per pound. The rea-
son groceries are so cheap is because
there are so many miners who are
stranded on the pass and are compelled
to sell their outfits at great sacrifice.
1t is an evident fact that not over one
out of fifty will get to Klondike this
winter. DR.. SIddall and I expect to
leave Skaguay City on the 30th, and en-
bark on our little boat at the head of
lake Linderman Sept. 5th. We have
joined a party of twelve to travel to-
gether down the Yukon. There are
several ladies in the party, and we ex-
pect to have entertainments, concerts,
Sunday school and a good time gener-
ally on our trip to Dawson City.

week or ten days the outside work will

The D. P. & A. n. Co. has big scow
and gang of men hauling rock from the
Washington shore and dropping them in

Professor T. S. Lippy, one of the first
to return from the Klondike, and who
brought back with him more than a
coal oil can full of gold, made the First
Methodist church of Seattle present of
$1,000 recently, to get the church out of
debt. He also gave $500 to the Y. M.
G. A. of Seattle. Before leaving Alaska,
he gave $500 to the Methodist missions

Mr.. Fred. Wilson, who has been over
in Sherman county, arrived home yes

tells US the grain crop in Sherman is
immense, that two temporary ware
houses built by the railroad right-of-Way
are already nearly filed with wheat,
that Wasco is booming, many new
houses being built, and that Moro is also
showing great Improvement.
A prominent farmer from Klickitat
county, in replying to our reporters
inquiry concerning the wheat crop, said
this morning: "The quality is the very
best, but in quantity, the crop, taking
the whole county through, will not aver
age more than sixty per cent OF the
normal yield. This condition was caused
by the exceedingly dry spring, which
prevented much of the spring-sown.

John Holton, an old Jackson county

money in his granary and left a dia-

The Fourth of July passed without

the association, is now in Pendleton,
and probably located there permanently.
With Mr.. Matlock, also of Pendleton, a

year, but for all time? 1t not, moye

right arm near the elbow, crushing it
terribly. He was taken to Heppner
and placed in care of physicians who
found the elbow badly mangled, it being
necessary to remove several large pieces

full if the arm could be saved, but later
reports from Heppner state that unless
serious complications take place. which
are not anticipated at present, his arm
will not have to be amputated.

tacks Of this insect. In the mature
state this insect is fly, which deposits
its eggs in the pulp Of the apple be-
meath the skin. The young maggots
grow within the fruit, which they rem
der worthless, and when mature
emerge from the apple and go into the
ground, lying in the pupa state be-
meath the surface soil among the grass
roots. Samples Of the earth, six inches
square, were taken, and the number OF
maggots under the trees varied accord
ing to the size, from 1900 to more than
10000 under each tree, the pupae some
what resembling kernels Of wheat
Now comes the point which was par
ticularly interesting to me. The ex-
pertinent was tried as to whether poul-
try, IL confined to a small range and
encouraged to scratch, would destroy
these pupae. A large movable Tlre
fence was placed about q tree whose
fruit had been destroyed by insects.
One side of the fence was raised and
about fifty hens were called into the
enclosure. The fence was let down
and they were confined to the space
around the tree. AS soon as they had
eaten the corn they naturally began to
scratch for the pupae, and in the course
of three or four days it was found that
the latter had disappeared. AS these
insects remain in the pupae state from
the fall Of the apple to the following
spring, when they appear, it may be
expected that next year the number
Of flies breeding the apple maggot will
be greatly diminished in the localities
where this plan is followed From per-
sonal experience, extending over many
years, / can speak positively Of the
advantages of allowing fowls and
chickens free range in apple orch
ards. They not only manure the soil
and destroy all insects harboring in it,
but they find, for some weeks, a con-
siderable proportion Of their own food
the windfalls, which they devour
greedily, with any grubs they may con-
tain. The raising Of poultry for sale
may be much more advantageously
carried on where the land is made to
produce two crops-namely, apples and
eggs-than where only one is gathered.

Mr.. Tegetmeier, the famous English
authority on poultry, in commenting
on report of the Rhode Island expert
ment station regarding the value Of
fowls to orchards, says:
For many years l have advocated
the introduction of poultry into apple
orchards, maintaining that they do
good service, in two very distinct
modes-first, by manuring the ground,
and, secondly, by the destruction of in
sects and grubs that hibernate in the
soil. The apple maggot appears to be

pounds of varied salt production, and
by the old process, you only save the

cording to Webster, casing is a cover

thing to work into butter. but we can.

do. Possibly, in trying to be scientific,
he uses the word in lieu of casein (milk

a minute, so that It turned out a large
quantity Of what he called extra but

Cattle Conditions in Iowa.

The following letter from T. B. En-
inert, an Iowa stockman, will be read
with interest by many feeders in that
and other states, says Live Stock Re-
port. No doubt the conditions named
therein will apply over a broad area
Of the feeding district. In the first
place young cattle are very scarce, the
scarcest in twenty-five years to my
own knowledge. Everything is on
feed, from yearlings up, and there have
not been nearly enough cattle to go
around. 1 insisted strongly for the
feeders Of my nelghborhood to feed
cattle, and consume this cheap corn,
even If they had to go to the market
for their feeders, which a good many
did, and that is how We have about
our usual number of cattle on feed
here. BuC right here Is where the rub
comes in. There will not be more than
nalf our usual number Of cattle to run
out OF here this fall, from the fact that
from now on we usually ran our grass
cattle. Why, used to buy from three
to six, eight, ten or twelve cars Of cat
tie per week. and half Of them would
Oe grass cattle, but l do not know
where l would get a single load Of
grass cattle in my territory now, not
even feeders, let alone cattle that
would do to ship. From 1891 up until
last fall everybody cut and slashed the
cattle, especially the she stuff, calves,
bulls and everything. You know your
selves how 1t was; and when short
age comes you can't breed and raise
cattle and get them ready for market
in six months as you can with hogs.
AS regard the situation it would seem
as though there would be plenty Of
fat cattle for this summer and fall,
looking at II without careful study. We
are getting only forty to fifty thousand
cattle per week in Chicago now all
told, whereas we used to get fifty to
eighty thousand per week few years
ago. We have just gone through Pc
Rod of three years Of hard times. Last
year was presidential election. That
is out Of the way now and everything
is beginning to move along more even
ly. Times are getting better in the
east, and gradually moving this way;
more men going to work every day,
and there viii! gradually be more de-
mand for the products from now on
unless l miss my guess. Then there
will be a great demand from all quar-
tiers right along for young cattle to go
on to grass and on to corn. In short,
a better consumptive demand on the
one side and better demand for feed
ing stock on the other. 1t does look
to me there won't be any too many
cattle for this summer and fall for the
market to go into consumption.
could give good many more reasons
for thinking so, but think have COW
cred the main part of the ground. OF
course We will have fluctuations, but
the tendency will be for the better,
especially when the cattle now on feed
are out Of the way.
