Mr.. Hike, who resides on Piety Hill
in East Salem. He has a family of
eight, and all are happy to get set

is one of the richest in the Waldo
Hills, and was purchased through
Messrs. Derby & Wilson, the wide
awake real estate dealers, and brought
$50 per acre for the $40 acres, or
a total of $500. The rich soil, the
fine water, and the beautiful view from
the place were among the inducements
that interested the new owner in the
place. There are 80 acres of hops on
the place, n $50 acres OF grain land,
besides the pasture and meadow.

to follow them to Oregon in the com

SICK
HORSE

A sight on Main street the other
evening was a huge horse, weighing
1900 pounds, mounted on an ordinary
truck and being hauled through town
says the Corvallis Times. In this way
the animal was conveyed a distance
of ID miles, to the home OF his owner
mean Halsey. The trip began at "
O'Clock I'M tne evening, and the destina-
tion was reached about midnight. The
trip was made by night to avoid the
oppressive heat of the daytime, adj on
account, not of the driver and his
team, or the owner. but to save the
horse himself, The hauling w9s done
by Lee Hinkle.
The horse was III. He is a thoro-
ughbped stallion, purchased last April
by James Sheridan of the vicinity of
Halsey, of a firm of fine horse impor-
ters at Spokane. The animal cost
$4,000 cash. He is a thoroughbred

set out as his allment, and from the
effects of it he suffered much. All the
horse experts Within a radius of many
miles were summoned to attend him,
and every remedy known to the profess

it was expected that he would die at
any time within an hour. He grew
slightly better, however, and his own

now as fertile a section of the country

work of extending the system is going

Mr. Weisz says that his company
has $4,000 acres of desert land to be
placed under the bitches and made

this land will in a few years be under
the pillow, produce great wealth, and
give support to many worthy citizens
in Eastern Oregon. The horses bought
by the company are good draft ami.
mails, and good prices are being paid
for the kind of animals desired.
A short time ago a number of
horses were brought in here from
Eastern Oregon and placed on the
market, and it seems peculiar that
now Eastern Oregon people come here
TO buy horses, but the reason for this
can be found in the fact that the
horses brought across the mountains
to this valley for sale are not the kind
of animals desired by the irrigation
people for the work they have under
way.

Soldier Teachers at Vest Point Not the Best the Children of
the POSt-UyOmen Needed

The educational situation OF the children OF
enlisted soldiers at the Military Academy and
army post OF West Point is before the present
session Of Congress In the form of a request for
an appropriation for repairs and maintenance of
the School for Enlisted Mems Children amount
ing to $3.50 In his annual report for 1903
Colonel A. L. Mills, superintendent of the Mill
tary Academy, says of the estimates upon which
the request is based:
Especial attention is invited to the item for
maintaining the childrcn's school The object OF
this is TO put this school upon a basis to enable
1t to provide at least the foundation of a COM
mon school education for the many children
mostly Of sOlders-residing here. The conditions
at West Point are such that there must always
be many young children among its residents.
The place is Isolated. and especially in winter
the difficulties OF access to neghboring towns
are so great that n school is necessity. The
existing one is unsatisfactory, and contrasted
with the educational work in the academy
itself. it is the subject OF just criticism by that
part OF the public aware of the situation. The
teachers are soldiers. and the building occu-
pied is one devoid Of proper fixtures and of the
simplest educational aids. of any of the equip
ment required to make a school the attractive
place 1t should always be. Using soldiers to
teach children IS Objectionable. They seriously
cripple the military organization from which
they are taken and the saving made in using
them Is hardly appreciable. their actual cost
closely Rpproximates the amount necessary to
obtain trained teachers. Men not suitable to
teach small children women should be employed

PozA STATION, Sonora,
 December 14th, 1903.

When started from Tuape week ago the mule showed slight lameness. It was thought that per- haps she had suffered slight sprain, and that with careful use the difficulty would disappear. But it continued to grow worse, and when reached Opedepe We'd nesday evening, the poor animal was quite lame. Thinking that a few days rest would bring her out all right 1 put the animal in the corral, and for the necessary trips through out the region which oc- cupied several days, 1 had the use of another animal, kindly loaned by Mrs. Vasovilbaso.
 Opedepe is an important point upon the San Miguel river about thirty miles eastward from Poza station, on the Sonora railway. Along the river both above and be- low, are number of fine ranches, and from the surrounding mining iegiN the town derives goodly trade.
 Among the business houses there are those Ci NJ. Vasovilbaso, Julio Bonnaud, and Julio Araiza. There are several others but these three seem the most important.
 As stated last week Mir. Vaso- vilbaso conducts an extensive mes cal distillery and ships his product to all points in northern Sonora and a considerable quantity goes to Arizona points.
 Mir. Julio Bonnaud is a mer- chant well known in Nogales Hermosillo, Guaymas and all along the line. The gentleman has lived in Sonora twenty year: or more, and before coming here was one of the pioneers in tht Harshaw region, near Nogales Beside the store at Opedepe he ha' one at the Sultana mine, neal Copete, and is about to establish : third at Saucedo, between tn, Nina del Gro" and the Anna rillas," over in the Alameda re zion to the westward. He is als' engaged in cattle raising, has { mescal distillery, and owns severa good mining prospects.
 Mir. Julio Araiza, who has one O the stores at Opedepe, also con ducts forwarding house at Pozi station.
 Opedepe is the site of one of tn old Spanish churches, a quaint an, curious structure which dates bacl 2OO years or more. It was bull Of adobes, and is now in an ad vanced stage of decay, having ap parently received no care. Tn walls were originally plasterer over, and upon a great part of tn tront the original plaster coat ve remains. It is peculiarly marked and the markings are notabl and curious feature. While tn cement plaster was yet soft smal bits of brick and smelter slag wer set into the surface, and with tn hardening of the substance the vet remain.

 Of these squares are more than one hundred yet visible. Within the squares are traced figures, made in the same way as the right angled lines. Many of the figures are fanciful forms, but most of them are representations of men and women. The lowest series are evidently figures of warriors-men with spears Some of the others represent men fighting, shooting at one another with bows and arrows, or thrusting with spears. In others of the squares were the figures of man and woman dan cling; one represented a woman balancing an olla upon her head; whl..e two figures in another plaque resembled couple of girls skipping the rope"
 Two old bells in the tower above show the year of their casting 1772-which was probably the year the church was built. The double doors are of heavy mesquite fantastically carved and showing the ravages of time. The structure is well worth study by the antiquarian.
 Mir. A. L. Wylie, superintendent of the Providencia, came into Ope- depe, accompanied by MT. w. ?. Rice of Chicago, who has been wis iting at the mine. They were on their way to Poza, en route to ! Hermosillo. Mir. Wylie turned back to accompany me to the mine, while Mir. Rice went on tc Poza.
 After dinner Thursday Mir. Wylie and 1 started from Opedepe for the Providencia" mine, a distance oi fifteen miles to the eastward. The route from Opedepe led across the hills about a mile, down into big wash, up which we travelled. The wash terminated in a deep and rocky canon, which is cut down through porphyry walls the greater part of its length, although 1T places there are lime and granite with occasionally an upthrust O trachyte. The route followed is g steady ascent. Finally, while il was not yet quite dark, we passed out of the head of the canon into z rolling upland, at an altitude o about 5000 feet, covered with ; fine growth of oak timber in th' midst Of which is the camp. Bacl of and above the camp is loftie ridge, in which, about half a mil' away, are the mines.
 At the camp we found Mir. Jo' Berry, an old timer in Sonora who is mine foreman; Mir. D. c Carroway, a well known millmal and miner, who has valuable in terests in the vicinity; and Nil
 Paul Wylie from St. Louis, nephew of my companion the sup erintendent.
