Rep resenIaIIve Waters of California,
Native OF Halifax, Would Like 90 Go
TO Oil Fields Near Los Angeles.
Representative Russell Judson Waters
of Los Angeles, Cal, who was born up at
Halifax, VT, in 1S43, is very anxious
these days to gel back TO his adopted state.
A great oil boom has struck Los Angeles
and the foot hills in the vicinity. For
tunes have been made in a few days, and
Mr.. Waters is looking with small concern
at the $1,000 which he draws as a member
of Congress, when he is certain that he
could make $20O,000 easily if he was out
in the oil country. He knows a grocery
man who has acquired fortune of mil
lion dollars since December last; and there
are two or three other cases quite as remark
able, making the excitement in southern
California greater than any excitement that
has ever occurred, not even excepting the
discovery of gold there in 40.
When Mr.. Waters came on to Congress
he went by way of Vermont and stopped
off at the old homestead in Halifax. His
father used to be professor in the Uni
versity of Vermont, and his mother was a
KnoWlton, a descendant of the first chief
Justice of Vermont, who was appointed to
his position by King George. Mr.. Waters
| found the old farm there, but he was sur
prsed, as he told the story to your CORE
| spondent, TO think that on the barren hills
one could raise enough to make living
He likes to go to Vermont, however, and
intends to take another trip there when
ever he can get time Washington letter

FIGHT WITH $50 NATIVES.

Private LonguiI writes Interestingly
Experiences I'm the PhIIippines---sSys
lie Enjoys Army Life.
e. A. Lord of Cottage street received last
week some letters from Ernest r. Longuil
of Brattleboro, private in Company E
4Gth regiment, United States volunteers
now in the Philippine Islands. The sub
stance Of the letters is as follows
MANILA, p. l.,
Jan. 2s, 1900.
We are on the move once more, going on
the South line. We had a scrap with
about $50 dagoes few days before we left
Subic. We went on a three-days' "hike,"
arriving at San Antoine the second day.
We were about three miles out of San An
tome, marching in a column of twos in the
centre of little plain when they fired on
us from ambush in front and right. 1
dropped to the ground and got very snug
to it, don't think | was more than two
inches thick. Then we charged them out
of their trenches. We could only get them
as they ran. We got one field piece, 10
rifles and a lot Of other stuff. We found
10 dead men, but found out later that we
killed 10 and wounded 30. Three of our
men were wounded. l had a<few close
shaves that made me jump some. Well,
am having good time and don't care how
long l stay over here.
In letter dated Subic Bay, Jan. II,
Private Longuil tells of some interesting
incidents. One day the company which he
is in went up into the mountains to fire
upon some dagoes. 81 did not go with
them, but l was in just as much danger
for there were only three of our company
left to take care of all the compsny's stores,
and about as many more of the 32d regi-
ment, so we went with our hair standing
pretty straight all day. The first night we
were here some of the men went on out
post, and were a scared lot of men. Mer-
rill, one of Brattleboro's brave men,
thought he saw a GOO goo creeping upon
him so he woke one of his comrades and
fired, wounding a calf. | went out on
scout and put an end to it the next day.
While out looking for eggs one day saw a
shack that looked like a store l could not
see any one so l Skinned up to the door
and crawled in on my hands and knees.
The first thing l saw was a dead niger
stretched upon the floor. think this kind
of living agrees with me. | have got more
| flesh than when l left the states. have
not fired shot since have been on the
island, and have been on outpost every
