anu variety or attractions, begin
to compare with Yaquina bay.
Whlle In Benton county l met a
prosperous young farmer, who has
one of the best grain and stock and
fruit farms in the Willamette valley.
He came out from Northeastern
Iowa about ten years ago, after
reading the Capital Journal Weekly
fer about year. He was especially
attracted by reading one article
which wrote on strawberry culture,
and that decided him to come to Or
ogon. lie has fine dairy herd and
ais 200 acres of land has doubled In
value. He came in to the school fair,
driving beautiful sorrel team, with
three children on the back seat. His
wife is what call beautiful gold
en- sorrel, and while he handled the
reins on the horses, It was easy to
see she handled the reins over him,
but he seemed to be perfectly happy
under her control. The auburn
haired women are numerous In the
Webfoot state, and they make splen-
did housewives, If they are inclined
TO be the center of things, and rule
with a despotic sway the affections
of their husbands and families.
Frank Davey, of Harney county,
for the present, is very severe in his
criticisms of Governor Chamberlain.
He does not like the governor ever
since that memorable veto message,
in which the governor described how
Davey as auctioneer, in the speak
er's chair, called for additional votes
to put through job that had failed.
He cannot appreciate anything that
the governor does, and yet It is easy
to see that a governor of the easy
virtue, non-resistant type of Davey
would have cost the taxpayers of Or
egon about a million more than IL
did TO have a legislature organized
by Davey. The Republicans should
put up one OF these don't-care-a-d-n
style of politicians for governor the
next time or run Davey against Har-
ry Lane or some other progressive
man on the Democratic ticket, and
they would realize that there are con-
xtfht oh
profession OF party loyalty do not
insure party success. In the mean
time Governor Chamberlain, or any
other public official, will be held In
esteem for the kind of enemies he
makes. The opposition of mere
spois mongers will be won by any
man who tries to hold down their
gratis. and the warfare on Chamber
lain, coming from predatory Repub-
licdns and Democrats will not harm
him in the estimation of decent peo-
pie. A campaign led by men of that
stripe would result In his election 20
almost any office. and the sooner
they realize that the Republican par
ty run by bedbug politicians whose
mouth extends clear around TO the
outside circumference of their bodies
is not what the people want in any
state of the Union, the better for the
party.
Speaking of Harney county, re- /
minds me of a very interesting visit
| had with George Stanclift, of Prime
Vile, who has been spending a few
weeks on the coast with his wife. He
went from Looking Glass valley in
1875, and took a pre-emption claim
hat cornered on Burns, and sold 1t
The other day for $50 an acre. He
says good farming lands all around
Burns sell for $50 to $50 per acre.
Hay land is worth from $40 to $50
ler acre. There was a military post
near where Burns now stands when
he settled there, and thre ecompan-
es of cavalry were resisting the
aids of the Piutes and Bannocks,
yho were on the warpath. Mr.. STAN
