ed. "I felt that I had to come to
Yorkville, and I did not like to stop a
plow. We are busy out on my side.
Why, my young friend, you can have
no idea Of the situation when i tell
you that in the whole twelve miles
between here and Smyrna, I did not
meet a single man, woman or child on
the road. I saw lots of people in the
fields plowing; but nobody travelling
the road. I'll go back tonight on the
train."
Mr.. Weldon Neil, who left with a
party Of young men fol: Portland, Ore
gon, a few weeks ago, returned home
last Saturday. Mr.. Neil said before he
left that If he did not like the country,
he was coming right back, and was
thus hedged against the good natured
guying Of his friends. He says there is
no trouble about finding plenty Of
work out in Oregon; but he did not
like the weather, the country, the peo-
pie, the customs, or anything else he
saw out that way, and is now thor
oughly satisfied that this country Is
good enough for him. Mr.. H. E. Neil,
brother Of Mr.. Weldon Neil, went on
from Portland to Spokane, Washington,
while the other members Of the party,
Messrs. Conner, Jackson and Hall,
went to work at saw mill near Port
land at $3.50 per day. Mr.. Neil found
the entire country covered with snow.
This was especially the case in Idaho
3uohedid, duo llCIC was llliC "
be seen Of the bare surface Of the earth
until he reached Utah, on the return
trip. He also spoke Of tremendous
tide Of emigration to and from Port
land. 1t seemed that there were as
many as 1000 emigrants in the crowd
that reached the city at the same time
his party got there, and when he came
away last Sunday week ago, it
seemed that fully as many were leav-
ing. There was not great deal doing
in the city at the time and not much to
look forward to beyond the coming sal
mon canning season. Mr.. Neil's re-
turn ticket read by way of Memphis;
but on account Of the high water, it
was changed at Denver to read by way
Of st. Louis. AS a matter Of fact the
water in the Mississippi at Memphis
was within foot or two of the danger
point when the party crossed on it's
way to the west. Mr.. Neil is evidently
not very much impressed with the ad-
vantages Of the country from which he
has just returned. When asked as to
