OLD TIMERS REGAL
OTHER HARD YEARS
Messrs. Arthur and Stanley Coffin Tell
Of Season When Stock Was
Lost by Thousands

A quarter of a century ago or
thereabouts there was a condition
of snowfall all through this valley
and eastern Oregon which was
much more severe than the present,
bad as this is, according to the re-
collection of Messrs. Arthur and
Staply Coffin who yesterday were
in the reminiscent mood, says the
Yakima Herald. One man who
went out that year with 5000
sheep came in with % and others
lost thousands. One man killed
the last couple of hundred sheep to
ave the fodder for the horses. H.
Stanley Coffin says he drove up to
one ranch of 100 acres, all fenced
with sheep pelts covering the entire
fence. He himself was out with a
six horse outfit, with long trailer
wagons, loaded high with sheep
skins, each wagon having a load
W hich was bigger than a good load
of hay.
The pelts, in fact were all that
were saved. There was no feed to
be had anywhere and in the more
eastern country a man could not
even go to a livery and put his
horse up, for there was nothing to
feed it. Unless one has been
through it, Mr.. Coffin said, it is
impossible to realize the appearance
of the people themselves, under
such condition. Farmers had lost
all their stock, horses in the village
were dying for food and dying
animals could be seen lying or
standing everywhere.
Ben Snipes, that year, accord
ing to Arthur Coffin, bought a
band for $4,000 from stockmen
who believed they had lost every
thing, but later he found a great
many more animals than he had
expected and he made killing on
his bargain. Lester Coffin, that
year paid $50 ton for a stack of
hay supposed to contain about six
tons, in the hope that he could
save some sheep with it, but before
the hay was transported a chinook
came, the snow disappeared and
the animals never got a chance at
the high priced diet, which, it is
declared, was several years old and
in pretty poor shape.

WHAT LEGISLATION DO
THE FARMERS Wish?

OF course farmers are interested
in all progressive legislation, in any,
thing that is for the general welfare
OF the state or nation. For instance
a blue sky law" has been intro.
duced at Olympia; we should favor
its passage, not so much that it will
aid those who are farmers now, but
that it may protect many would. be
farmers from being bitten by pro-
motors of 'unsound real estate and
irrigation schemes. If we had had
such a law on our statute books
such swindle as the one worked
on the Wahluke project up the river
would never have been possible.
Again, we are all interested in the
teachers pension bill and the
mothers pension bill. We are d.
rectly interested in the bill to create
bureau of agriculture and those
providing for the control of com.
mission houses and compelling the
proper spraying and disinfecting of
fruit trees.
Do we favor bill providing for
the expenditure of s2O,OOO,OOO for
state roads after the plan of the
Foster bill or the Nichols bill, or
should there be system of roads
provided for the farmers radiating
out from the several commercial
centers, and so planned as eventual.
ly to give Us the great across-the-

state systems?

state systems?
Do we wish our legislature to in
vestigate the question of rural credit
as Oregon is doing or shall we wait
the results of the national and other
movements in the same direction?
There are plenty of questions to
occupy our minds when we wish to
rest them from the ever present and
sometimes pressing problems Of how
to manage Our own little farms. I
am sorry there isn't a place some.
where where we could get together
and thrash out some of these things.
