Its great est fury seems to have been spent at the little yillage jf Bradshaw, lying v a few miles east of the western boundary of York county and some ten miles from the county seat. Up to a few minutes before its arrival 10:25 p. m., there was nothing to indicate other than a high wind. The inhabitants of the hamlet, unconscious of danger, were preparing for their night's rest. The work of demolition was terrible in its swiftness. IN ot a house or barn is left standing. Trees are stripped of their leaves and branches and a scene of utter desolation exists. Seven persons are known to have been killed outright and the list of injured will reach anywhere from twenty to forty. It will be daylight before the full list of casualties can be learned. The B. & M. depot, with a number of freight cars, were lifted from their moor ings and carried a distance of half or three quarters of a mile.

To the Edi tor of The Herald: I told you in my last letter that I would tell you some thing about the city of Salem the capi tal city of Oregon lying in the north of the Willamette valley. It is on the Willamette about fifty miles up the river from Portland. This river is navigable for steam boats, they say, 150 miles up from the mouth, and passes up the falls that are seventy feet from the top to the bottom. The boats are raised and lowered by means of locks and it i3 truly wonderful. These falls are at Oregon City. I suppose it is one of the greatest water powers in the world. Salem is a city of over 10,000 inhabitants, and be sides being the state capital, is the seat of justice of Marion county. It is al'o a manufacturing and commercial town of considerable importance and a social center. The streets are 100 feet wide and the blocks 350 feet square. The streets are lined with maple, elm and other ornamental shade trees and the city presents a beautiful appearance. Residences are surrounded with spacious lawns, tastefully ornamented with trees and flowers, some of them such as I never saw before. Pleasing styles of architecture are em ployed in the buildings and whatever would add to the enjoyment of home life is observed in finishing the surround ings of the homes of Salem. The state institutions are located here, including the state house, upon which there has been expanded a half million dollars.

I'saw thirty -seven goats in one field. They are the kind that have long wool and they shear them like sheep and sell the wool for a bi" price. I ascended a large hill and with the aid of a glass could see from one side of the valley to the other, and it was a. grand sight. I would say to any one that is well fixed and settled in life to stay where you are, if this valley is the best place there is on the Pacific coast, lou may hear from me again. R. Matteer.
