NO PLACE LIKE NEBRASKA An Ex-Nebraskan in Oregon Advises Men in This Section to Stay Where They Are. ONLY THREE DRY MONTHS IN THE YEAR Land of Hope a Producer of Frogs—A Frog Pond with High Grade Eastern Stock Will Soon Yield Millions —Western News, MONMOUTH, Ore., March 15.—To the Ed- ftor of The Bee: Having nothing to do I will write a few lines that may be of some S~ benefit to some of your patrous who think of coming to Oregon. In the first place I wdvise all ta stay where they are. I speak from experience, having lived in Valley, Greeley, Sherman and Howard counties. T left thero in '89 and have since lived in Idaho, Washington, and last and worst of all, in Oregon, or, as it i3 better known,"0ld Webb Foot.” This is no place for a poor man, nor for any ore else. In the first place it rains hard almost constantly from Sep- tember until March, often till June. I am a painter by trade and am_ able to work outside only three months, June, July and August. Wheat and hops are the principal product of this section, but any Kind of small grain does well, wheat yielding twenty- five bushels to the acre, barley thirty-five and oats about the same. No corn is raised, owing to the short dry season. Car- rots, beets and potatoes do moderately well. Pasturage is poor; I had a farm in Greeley county that would pasture more stock than two sections of the best they have here. Moro than one-half of our pork is Omaha pork and nearly all our lard. I have been buying corn meal in ten-pound sacks put up in Schuyler. The hop industry is grow- ing, there being at least twice as many acres as when I came here, two years ago. The industry, however, is being overdone. They raised about 1,500 pounds per acro at a ret cost of 2 cents per pound last year, and the year before they sold at 12 to 15 cents, ““Tut some sold at 6 cents. It costs about $100 por acre to get the yard ready and then $1,000 for the dry house and no crop for two vears, Land that sold for $40 to $100 per 10re in 1891 1s now selling at $15 to $40 per acre. People are chopping wood for a living and wood is legal tender, L. B. OREGON FROGS. Oregon frogs are beginning to come into market, or rather are being sent in, and are quickly snatched up by epleures. The poor little amphiblous animals, which have hid themselves in the mud at the bottom of the lakes and sloughs all winter, have only just come to the surface, notes th Portland Oregonian. They have hardly had time to sing “'peep, peep, water's deep,” and certainly have not been able to catch any flies or worms. They are caught and sent into market in this condition and are said to be fat. *“How does a frog get fat, tell me that?" “They suck it in through their skins,” says Private Mulvaney. It is strange, in view of the demand there Is here for frogs, and tho large amount of good pasture for them there s In this section, that somo ono has not Introduced the big eastern frog here. This beautiful reptile 1s to the small Oregon frog what the full bred prize Durham steer 15 to the old-time Spanish steer, and furnishes a pair of legs equal in size and much more delicato than tho legs of a Shanghal rooster. Some one ral years ago went to considerable ex- pense in importing some blg frogs in a wash- tub of water from Michigan, but as nothing has ever been heard of them since, it is to be presumed that they hopped back, a not difficult task for such long-legged fellows, Frogs could be easily brought out alive in a box, with some lettuce or water weeds about them, and, if kept moist, would live long enough to travel to China. Any one who has a good frog pond and will stock it with high grade eastern frogs will soon flud millions in it. LE GARDE PLACERS. The placer discoveries on the Le Garde some forty miles southwest of this eity, are still one of the great attractions, and while enow must necessarily obstruct’ active op- erations, endless claims are being staked off every day, until at present the records show that upwards of 300 claims have been lo- cated, says the Laramie Boomerang. Le Garde creek is located solidly from its mouth to Shipman park, a distance of twelve miles. The discoverer is a California man who had visited Colorado for the express purpose of looking up gold properties, and who, by the merest chance, had occasion to remain over night at one of the ranches on the Big Laramie river. The following morn- ing, while awaiting the conveyance that was to return him to Fort Collins, he sought the creek bank and proceeded to wash out a pan of dirt. It yielded about 6 cents. Without 50 much as a word to the ranchmen as to his discovery, he postponed his departure and put in ten rays diligently locating claims along the Le Garde. When this was completed he went to Den- ver and there organized a company with $500,000 capital to work the ground. This done he returned to California and gave or- ders for placer mining machinery to the ex- tent of $150,000. This_apparatus is to be on the ground by May 15, and the whole country of the upper Laramie is on the tiptoe of expectancy, awaiting the advent of a boom, from which every ranchman in. that vicinity hopes to become a millionaire. The discoverer of these flelds, with a slufce box nine feet long cleaned up $26 in six hours, and within forty-eight hours from the time this information was given out there wasn't a vacant plece of land within a radius of six miles from the discovery. The company organized at Denver numbers some of the most wealthy and influential mining men in Colorado, and there isn't a quostion that the proceeding is bona fide and based on actual discovery of gold in large and pay- ing quantities. PROSPECTING IN THE LA PLATA. Arrangments are being made now to open several trails into La Plata mountalns, and many are preparing to start into the Mc- Quiety hill and Treasure basin country, says the Denver Times. The opening of the McQuiety hill trail of four miles finished, it will then be run west to Copper Chief ridge, and north to Treasure basin. Another branch will be thrown open to the southwest, connecting Deadwood gulch, and extending on down that gulch to Parrott City. As soon as these tralls are completed work will be resumed on the McQuiety mines, the Kislingbury, Briggs, Copper Chiet ana Aspen, in the MeQuiety country, and in the Yucon, Durango Queen and other properties in thesTreasure basin. In Deadwood work will be resumed on the Crown Jewel, Victor, Honest John and Smoky Hill. These several districts are in the great ore trend cutting through the La Plata moun- tains from northwest to southwest, and it is anticipated that some rich developments will bo made In these localitles during the next sixty days. The mine and prospect owners are looking into the various milling processes, with the purpose of gotting some mills built to treat the several features of milling ores. The- indlcations now point to an early commencement of an active season of gold mining In the La Platas. There are al- ready many people arriving from different parts of the country to prospect, purchase or develop properties. At McQuiety hill prospecting will be difi- cult, on account of snow, for from four to six weeks yet. Practically the same condi- tions relative to prospecting prevail through- out La Plata mountains. FOUND A PAY STREAK. Some parties made a location of a lode clalm within fifty feet of the Rlo Grande Southern rallroad switch some four years ago. The vein carries lron, pyrites of copper and chlorides, and a recent assay from the property shows 777 ounces of silver. Until lately all the work done on the claim was the annual assessments, Now, however, since the owners find that there really is something in the veln, they propose putting on a force of men and getting it out. In running a cross-cut on the Carribbean vein at Ophir a pay streak was lately un- covered, from which assays showlng $97.76 in gold, $18 in copper and $13 In silver were made. A report to this effect from Man- ager Charles 8. Newton ‘has brought the president of the compauy out. from Malne, | &t 12:c who will ltkely provide for an increased out- put immediately. MEXICAN COW PUNCHERS. At the Casa Camedra are two old log houses and in them live some squalid, yel- low-hided humans who are to farm a little stretch of bottom land this year, says Har- per's Magazine. They require work stoers to do their plowing, and Mr. Bell has bought up halt a dozon viclous old “stags,” which are both truculent and swift of foot. The Mexicans insist that they are not able to handle them and Mr. Bell orders his punchers into action. T strolled out to the corrals to see the bulls “gentled.” After a Iot of riding and yelling they were herded and dragged Into the inclosure, where they huddled, while seven punchers sat on their ponies at the gate, I was standing at one corner of the corral, near the men, when out from the midst of the steers walked a blg, black bull, which raised its head and gazed directly at me. The bull had never before In its stupid life observed a man on foot, and I comprehended .immediately what he would do next, so I “let out” for the casa at a rate of speed which the boys afterward never grew weary of commending. No spangled torero of the bull ring ever put more heart and soul into his running than did I in my great coat and long hunting spurs. The bull made a “fo'lorn hope' for the gate and the gallant punchers melted away before the charge, The diversion of the punchers made the retreat of the infantry impossible, and from an entrenched position 1 saw the bulls tear over the hill, with the punchers “roll ng their talls” behind. After an hour of swearing and hauling and bellowing the six cattle were lugged back to the pen and the bars put up. The punchers came around to congratulate me on my rapid recovery from a spralned ankle, when they happened to observe the cattle ugain scourlug off for the open country. Then there was a grunting of ponies as the spurs went In, some hoarse oaths, and for a third time they tore away after the “‘gentle work oxen.” The steers had taken the bars in their stride. Another hour's chase and this time the animals were thrown down, trussed up like turkeys for a baking and tied to posts, where they lay to Kick and bellow the night through in impotent rage. The punchers coiled their ropes, lit their cigarettes and rode off in the gathering gloom. The morning following the steors were let up, and though chilled they still roared deflance. For agri- cultural purposes a Mexican *'s would be as valuable as a rhinoceros or a Bengal tiger, and I awalt with interest the report of the death rate at the Casa Camadra during spring plowing. wet and A SAD STORY. John Shultz has just returned from Wash- ington, where he went to secure a copy of the patent on some land near this city which he used to own, says a Sioux Falls speclal to the Minneapolis Tribune, He Is about 60 years of age, but nevertheless he walked the whole distance to and from the national capital, with. the exception of 600 miles, which he went on the cars. gone three months, spending ten days in Washington, during which time he called on President Clevelan The “best man,” as Shultz calls Grover, listened attentively to the story of the South Dakotan's supposed wrongs., Shultz He was has had a great deal of trouble and has become demented to a degree. Several years ago he had a large herd of cattle polsone dying in one night. wife bung herseif. land, 480 acres, some forty of them Shortly after this his He had mortgaged his heavily and then wandered off to Oregon. He came back eral months ago and found that his land had been sold and other people were living on it He thought by going to Washington and securing copies of the original patents to his land, which are on file here, he might again get possession of the property. He, of course, Is sadly disappointed and threatens o have tho state's attornoy put in the penitentiary if his land is not given back (o him. He Is not violent, and as yet nothing has been done with him, It is thought he has relatives somewhere in this county. HOP MEN AROUSED. The hop men of the Pacific coast have begun an organized movement against con- gressional interference with the tarift hops. They claim that if the duty is re- moved or lessened it will paralyze one of the greatest industries of that section. Under on fine black warth 75¢; the McKinley bill the duty on foreign hops was 15 cents a pound; the Wilson bill re- duces it to 8 cents, and now the senate has changed it to 20 per cent ad valorem. With the duty removed or reduced to a minimum figure, it looks as though hops would not ba “in it."" Theodore Bernheim, a Port- land hop dealer, has been active the past few days informing growers throughout Oregon of the exact situation and the danger which confronts them. He has urged them to medt and take such actlon as will call the atten- tion of Oregon’s senators and representatives at the national capital to this Important question. Oregon last year produced 38,000 bales of hops. This year, according to the acreage, the elements permitting, the state will yield 50,000 bales. The present indica- tions are that prices will rule low. GREAT FALLS WANTS A POEM. The Board of Trade of Great Falls, Mont., offers a prize of $25 to the author of the best poem on the falls of the Missourl at that place, the poem to contain not less than three nor more than five stanzas, the num- ber of lines in a stanza to be decided by the author.

No settlement could be reached and he was finally allowed to depart for Minden, laden down with promises to pay in full at some future day. Just to show the perversity of Young America, two North Platte boys, who had a greater fondness for bathing in forbidden streams than for obeying their parents’ or- ders, ran away from home and were captured by Marshal Huntington while bathing in the ice water of the South Platte river on St. Patrick’s day. Our populist sherlff, says the Albion News, is setting a bad precedent in taking his prisoner out to public entertainments, as ho did to the prizo fight last Saturday night. The ex-sherift of Omaha caused great scandal by similar liberties granted to Mosher, the bank wrecker. It is bad enough for the county to have to board a prizoner in idleness for six or eight months, without providing opera house entertain- ment, John Peakin was once a prominent and prosperous farmer in Mitchell county, Kan- as, but lie has graduaily become a wreck in more ways than one. He lost a con- siderable sum of money and finally gave up his Kansas farm and settled in Nebraska. Recently he left his home in Nuckolls county and started across the state line into Kansas. Reaching Mankato he became violently insane and was brought back to Superlor by the sheriff of Jewell county. THE DAKOTAS. The second artesian well has been com- pleted at Miller, being of powerful force, and sending up clear water. Hunters at Blunt have begun to bring in ducks and geese, and report hunting good and about three weeks ahead of the usual time. Farmers in the vicinity of Yankton are planting their small grain six weeks earlier than last year. The soil is in excellent con- dition, and 20 per cent more land will be cultivated than in any previous season. For the first time in more than a quarter of a century, the ice in the Missourl and James rivers has moved out with the lowest stage of water ever known. At the present stage of water it would be diffieult to navi- gate the Missouri as in the early days. C. T. MtCoy of Aberdeen, who has b in Cripple Creek for several months looking after the Interests of an eastern syndicate, is reported to have struck it rich. He has opened up a two-foot veln of ore which is thought to be a continuation of the Lon- donderry, Three car loads of immligrants arrived at Canning recently, and are taking land on the Crow Creek reservation. No section of this state of greater possibilities offers greater opportunities than does Hughes county. A large number of Illinois neighbors will arrive about April 1. Dr. Angle of Castalia last year became angry at a fellow doctor named Nelson and preferred charges against him before the State Board of Health. The citizens of Cas- talla were enraged at Angle's act and one evening a large number of them caught the doctor out of doors and egged him. A. ¥. Mallick, a Northern Pacific engineer of Jamestown, N. D)., has invented an ele trical boiler alarm and thermostat, or heat indicator. The apparatus is securéd to the boiler head and gives instant and timely warning of a condition of the hotler, w it not explosion. A seml-official report says that the Soo has been successful in floating its bonds in England, and that the extension of the road from Kulma, N. D., to Bismarck, and from Aberdeen to Red Lake, the junction, will go forward in the early spring. The roadbed has bean graded from Aberdeen to Bismarck for several years COLORADO, The Pennsylvania tunnel, at Fall river, has cut a good gold vein at 1,120 feet The Ebert mine, Yankeo hill, has cut a four-foot vein of gold which runs $32. A streak of copper ore carrying large quantitles of free gold, assaylug 19 ounces gold, has been struck in the Solix Tyler granite district south of Leadville. Some good gold strikes are reported at Independence, near Aspen, a camp of 1880, The Fraction mine near Idaho Springs is shipping gold-silver ores to the smelters. Ten carloads of immigrant goods have ar- rived at Grand Junction in the past three months. Pipe laying up the canon-for the increase of Boulder's water supply Is progressing favorably. The new cheese factory at Jeferson has started up. The capacity is 400 pounds a day, using the milk of 200 cows. Drilling has been resumed in the cele- brated Grand Junction gas well and will be continued until granite is reached. Tho reports from Shipman park, in the North park, continue encouraging. Many men are making good wages in the placers, The Smokeless Coal company has reduced wages in the Otis mine from $3 to $2.50 per day, and top men from $2.60 to $2. A streak of yellow copper ore, running $200 per ton in gold, has been uncovered in the Centennfal mine, Yankee Hill distric The Hillsdale mine, Cripple Creck, ha streak of ore which yields from $200 to $600 per ton. The force of miners will = be doubled. The report of the ore from the new rer upon the gold discovery near Pagosa Springs is that it is free milling and aver- s $20. The tunnel will be pushed. On account of the bad roads and the low price of silyer the Smuggler Union at Tel- luride discharged fifty miners. Its s mill will continue at work. The Suffolk, in the same locality, has taken on forty more men and the San Miguel Consolidated Is adding to Its force, Mr. W. W. Wiley, who lives near Monte Vista, raised the past season from twenty- 51 08 sixteen 8 of marketable po- —a_total of 320,000 pounds. These po- will probably bring him an average of cents per hundred—a cash revenue of about $2,400, or about $90 per acre. The strongest flow of natural gas, says the Garrison Tribune, ever found in the San Luls valley was tapped by Speicer & Uhrl on the Steve Kenny ranch north of Garrison a few days ago. At a depth of 700 feet it came with such force as to throw water forty feet into the air. The well s three inches in diameter, and throws a stream normally about fifteen inches high, while at intervals of fifteen or twenty min- utes it spurts to the height of forty feet.
