Mr. Train , Just before ho started on his
last globe trotting expedition , spent n day in
J'ortl m ) . It wns the dny of the presidential
reception. It was raining not an unusual
thing in Portland In the spring -and the vast
crowd that assembled about thu presidential
party in front of the Portland hotel was
covered beneath an army of umbrellas , which
reminded mo of a grand aggregation of toad
B tools. On ono of the hotel balconies were
Roland Ho'd nnd the members of his com
pany , George Francis Train , myself and
others "Psycho did all this , " snld Train.
"Psycho brought the president , tno rnin-
term and myself to Portland together. "
That afternoon Mr. T-raln , with only an
hour's , advertising , delivered a lecture at the
Maniunm Grand opera honso to an nudionco
of about four hundred peoplo. Holand Heed ,
feovcral members of his company , Mr. Hodg-

Mr. Train delivered about half of Ills lecture

rather unexpected promiLonco , which was
somewhat ctnbarrasslng. In tlio course of
tils lecture Air. Train gave THE Bui : nnd its

Some years ago Mr. Train was out in this
country It was before the canning of
palmon had been started. Ho was visiting
The Dalles nnd taking In the scenery of the
Columbia river. He saw the Indians catch
ing salmon with scoop nets , nnd sclllnir them
for fi cents np'cco. ' He told the people that
there was moro wealth ( lowing past their
peers In the Columbia nnd Willamette rivers
than theio wns In their valleys und hills , and
that some duy the canning of sulmon would
bo a great Industry. His prediction has
.cumo true , nnd today Columbia river salmon
is shipped to all parts of the world. Mr
( Train while here inferred to his prediction
ami its fulilllmcnt with Justifiable pride.
"When I was at The Dalles , " said ho , "the
Balmon were so thick that I could xvalk across
the river on their backs , and I saw the
enormous wealth that would some dny bo
inkcn from tno river. " Train tried his hand
at catching a salmon with n scoop not. He
caught n monster , which suddenly Jerked him
Into the rivor. Ho was rescued by nn Indian ,
but ho lost his llsh.
THE SALMON INOI'STUT.
The banks of the Columbia urc linnd with
Inunenac canning establishments , the grentcr
number being located near the mouth of the
river At Astonn , the seaport of Oregon ,
there Is a Hoot ot .100 llbhiiu' boats Their
Ilshing grounds cover the mouth of the
Columbia , which is seven miles wide nnd ton
hillos long. The lUhermen go out toxvards
the open sen as far as possible. The salmon
IB a salt \valer llsti , but comes up fresh wa'.er
atieams to spawn. Thev go ujioven to thu
licuds of the streams , climbing the falls here
nnd theio by Jumpinir. It is no unusual
thing to sco salmon climb and Jump up tlu
falls at Oregon City , on the Willamette
river , twelve miles south of Portland. Those
falls are about llfteou feet high , and very
perpendicular. How these salmon got up
them Is n mystery , but they do It nil the
fmmo. I'ho Ilshing season Is limited by law
from April 15 to August 15. Fishermen uro
paid $1 for every salmon tlu-y catch , largo or
mall. The Oregon and Washington hatch-
pries arc model Institutions , and conducted
taialnly for the propagation of the salmon.
The pack of salmon this year will not bo ns
Inrgu ns that of lost year , unless thera Is a
bigger run between now und August 15 thun
Ihoro has been so far.
NOVHL THCVTBIt TICKKT3.
In the early days the sulmon wns fre
quently used as a theater ticket In Portland.
It was when John Jack was conducting n
.theater huro. Mouoy was scarce , but salmon
SiVro plenty. Mr. Jack always took ono
Biilmon as the prlco of admission , und fro-
nuontly tie would In this way take In from
ufty to a hundred salmon In an evening. Ho
nt once had them cashed by selling them to
the hoit'ls and restaurants. This reminds
moot the story they tell In Full Lake City
about vegetables belnt ; received In lieu o'f
cosh nt the theater door. This was In the
early days of Ball Lake when Brlgham
Young built his theater , which still stands
there and is ono of the historic landmarks
of tnnt romark&blo , unique and Interesting
city.

nmrnMi'B I-EOULUIHTIES ,
Most of the dwelling houses In Portland
ro frnmo structures of neat and vnjty ar
chitectural designs. They are handsomely
and artistically painted , and present n clean
And attractive appearance. As a rule they
have beautiful yards , made plcturoso.ua by
IMTIIS , shrubbery nnd trees In great varlotv.
I'ho business streets are poorly paved , but
bow under consolidation and a now city gov-
jiinmcnt U Is believed that UiU Imoortant
public Improvement will bo properly puihcd.
There U .somo asphalt pavement here , but It
Is said that It does notstand the weather very
well. The blocks nro only ' . ' ( X ) feet
square nnd there are no alloys. ThU Is a sad
ml.stako , but It cannot now bo rectified. All
the business has to bo done on the .sidewalk
or l > i the gutter , oven to .tawing wood , which
Is the main fuel hero. The wood Is piled up
in frnnt of business houses nnd residences ,
nnd It Is sawed cither by Chinamen or by n
steam saw and is'than carried Into the build
ing.
Portland Is n great restaurant town. In
this respect It Is very much llko San Fran
cisco. There are hundreds Of restaurants
hero. Some of them uro very good ones and
nil do n thriving business. Their prices nro
verv reasonable and tbulr bill of faro Is a
varied ono. You can got anything you want.
Hnstern oysters come high , but Pacillc coast
oysters , about as big ns n peanut , nro cheat )
I hey are very palatable but have an entirely
different tnsto from the eastern oysters.
lOvervwhorn vou sco the sign. "Furnished
rooms. " This Is n great Industry hero , nnd
helps to reduce the rent , which is uliout
thirty per cent higher than It Is In Omaha.
There is nn army of people hero living in
furnished rooms , and they board at the res-
tnurnnt.s.
The Chinaman Is the laundryman , the
chambermaid , the cook , thn vegetable gar
dener nnd the mnn of all work on the Pacific
const. You will tlnd him everywhere nnd
dolne everything. It would bo difficult to
eot along without him out here , but It seems
that Tncoma has no use for John Chinaman.
A few yean ngo the people of Tacoma rose
cnmas.so and in ono dnv kicked all the China
men out of town , nnd from that time to tills
there has not been n celestial within the
boundaries of that city ; und furthermore , u
Chinaman does not dare uo into Tacoma even
on a visit. It will bo remembered Unit the
federal government settled tno mutter by
paying damages to the Chinese. At the
"nine time an attempt was made In Portland
to expel the Chinese. It was a tlmo of great
excitement nnd the people wore divided on
the matter. Finally , tlio Chinese were al
lowed to remain undisturbed. When the
Chinese were driven out of Tacoma the people
of that city sent their clothes to Portland to
bo washed by Chinese laundrymen , and when
his fact became known it C.IIHJ 1 considerable
sharp criticism of the Tacomaitcs for tholr in
consistency , and the > finally stopped patron
izing the Portland laundries. Thu people of
lilnine county , Washington , have recently
followed the oxarnplo of Tncoma , and they
have resolved to bounce nny Chinaman who
dares to set foot within their domain.
While wages are good In Portland , there Is
an ovor-supnly of men who want work. I
would advise any ono having n fair Job or
situation In the east to remain there , unless
he has a little money to tide him over until
ho llnds something to do on the Pacillc coast.
People who come hero broke find it n pretty
rocky road to travel. There is no moro har
rowing feeling than that caused by being
stranded In n stranito city , nnd thera uro
thousands of men in that condition in the
Pacific coast towns. If , however , a man
gets started all right hero I know of no bet
ter place for ono to como to.
There is a great deil of heavy hauling in
Portland , and the trucks buvo their beds
hung from the nxles so that they nro within
six inches of the ground. This makes it very
con veniont for loading nnd unloidlng. The
tires nro from three to six incnes wide. Those
broad tires snvo the pavements and causa the
trucks to be moved moro easily than wagons
having narrow-tired wheels.

Mr. Thomas J. Bouton , editor and pro
prietor of tha Buffalo ( Wyo. ) Echo , spent
Sunday In Omaha. Ho is very enthusiastic
In his Indorsement of all that Tin : Br.r. has
said of late in reference to moro Intimate
business relations between Omaha and
Wyomlnir business men.
"A very largo proportion of the cattle raised
In the northern part of Wyoming have been
shlpuou to Chicago , " said Mr. IJouton , "but I
think that If the pnrkers and shippers of
South Omaha will make the proper effort ttio
tide may bo turned this way. r'rom the
counties of Johnson and Sheridan there will
ho fully 50,000 hold of fat cattle shipped this
full. "
"What Is your nearest railroad pointf"
"Tlio B. A ; M. has reached Gillette , which
Is about , eighty miles trom Buffalo. That is
nt present the nearest shipping point. Here
tofore the cattle hnvo been driven to the
Northern Pacillc or to the Fremont & Elkhorn -
horn , which nre each about ono hun
dred nnd twenty miles from Buffalo.
The Burlington will probably got the
bulk of the cattle shipments this fall ,
und If the shipper * llnd out that they can do
as well or better at Omaha than at Chicago
the cattle will como horo. "
" \V hat do you think necessary on the part
of Omaha stock men and packers to encour
age this trade ! "
"Simply send men up through that coun
trv to got acquainted with the stock raisers
und advertise the advantages of the Omaha
stock market in newspapers that circulate
among the ranchmen. "
"In what condition are range cattle this
summer ! "
"First class. , The pasture has been splen
did nil summerand wo have now feed enough
on the ground In Johnson and Sheridan coun
ties to last us tor two years. You see that
grass matures upon the ground in the fall
and becomes the very llncst hay you over
suw. In case next summer should" very
drv , the cattle could hvo on tbU year's crop.
The luxuriont growth cf grass this venr in
sures goon pasture all winter and cattlemen
arc in gooJ .spirits. Mr. II. M. Murphy ,
of the Murphy cattle company , has
purchased over alxly thousand head lately
nnd Is preparing to push tbo business witli
great unurjjy. "
"What kind of cattle nro raised In that
part of the country ? "
"The largo ranchmen mostly handle the
Texan cattle , but the small ranchmen raise
domestic breeds. Some very line cattle uro
being raised up there , and as tlio country de
velops tlio Introduction of thoroughbreds will
doubtless become more general.1'
"When does the shipping season begin ? "
"It will begin this year about the middle of
August and the fat animals wjll be rushed
out pretty lively. "
"Do the ranchmen 'llnd It necessary to feed
any hay during tbo winter1 ?
"Most of the ranchmen have what they
call a 'granger ranch , ' where they
feed the weak animals on hny. They
keep a few cowboys on tlio range
all winter to pick out the weak
and poor animals and drive them to th
granger much , but the greater proportion of
the cattle go through without any feed ex
cept that which they tlnd on the range. "
Mr. Bouton will visit South Omaha today
to consult with stock men and packers with
regard to the very important mutter o ( petting -
ting tbo great streams of live stock from
upper Wyoming turned toward the
South Omaha stockyards , where they
ought to come. Mr. Bouton Is convinced
that it will bo a mutual benefit , to both the
Omaha and Wyoming business men to have
their business relations moro closely con
nected. Ho says that the people of
Buffalo ere anxious to hnvo the B. & JM.
build on to that beautiful county-seat town
so they can hnvo closer connections with
Omaha. Buffalo has now about twelve
hundred people , is lighted by electricity
and has a splendid system of waterworks.

Quality ol' Cattle Coming to
tlio OiiK-.lia .Market.
Thomas J. Zook was on Saturday's market
with a train of cattle from the Black Hills ,
South Dakota. Mr. Zook spent several weeks
riding horse back from Chamberlain , S. D. ,
west through the bad lands to the Black
Ullls , looking after the cattle Interests of his
company. Ho reports that this bad land
country Is unquestionably ono of the best
cattle grazing territories hi the northwest.
Ho says that cattle in these Bad lands have
every possible winter protection against the
most severe snow storms , nnd that the snow
rarely ever remuinb on the lands over two or
three days. The grasses are of the most
nutritious quality und usually euro about tno
llrst of August , nnd then the cattle fatten
very rapidly until cold weather , utter which
they loiOhomo llosh , though they winter-ro-
markubly well without any attention what
ever.
ever.Mr Peter Duhnusol , ono of the oxtcnsivo
cattlemen of Uupid City , S. D. , was on Sat-
mday's market with sixteen cars or ; W"i bead
of cattle , averaging 1,950 , which brought tlio
very satisfactory price of $1 'M per hundred.
These were range cattle fivrn the Bad lauds
and were considered by cattle salesmen and

HriiosS. . D , July CO [ Special to Tim
BKK.J Apropos of the farmers' nlllnnco It
may not bo out of the way , to review the his
tory of that organization during the lost
scar. When Kyle was elected senator none
were more thoroughly disgusted than the re
publicans who belonged to the farmers' orga
nization. Some few who had been Instru
mental In achieving Its formation were
neither republicans nor democrats , but were
fanatical chimera worshippers. The Inde
pendents controlled tno alliance , and to not
bo tin Independent meant Jo foroco all the
privileges of bolng n member , for President
Loucks bad his strings so drawn that all
authority would bo forfeited upon refusal to
politically obey him and his leading hench
men. And thus It was that with the cry of
the "Moody-Mollotto gang" that the alliance
men entered the last legislature with the
purpose of defeating Moody and downing the
republican party. Wnrdall and Harden well
knew that If Moody was left In the Hold they
could do nothing. A bogus despatch stated
to the democrats that Palmer wns
elected in Illinois nnd that they should
'
throw their support to tbo farmers. 'This was
done , and Ifylo , n Congregational minister
from Brown county , owning not a house nor
foot of land In the state , whoso goods were at
the tlmo In Sioux Falls marked for Boston
nnd ordered for shipment , who had then no
ll.xod residence In the state , was chosen to
1111 the sent in the United States senate.
These facts were not then known , nor nro
they generally known now. The indepen
dents saw how blind and foolish they had
been and were disgusted with tholr politics.
However , they continued to pour tholr scant
revenues into the really private coffers of thu
leaders nnd to pay their hail and tire insur
ance premiums into the treasury of two
really Insolvent Institutions. The Fidelity
wont under hopelessly , but some risks were
reinsured , nnd today there uro no assets ex
cept notes of questionable value.
Loucks has lately been made managing
editor of the Uuralist , nnd Wardnll spends
alliance money nnd time In Haunting tbo
most glaring of political Impossibilities
through the west.
And again alliance stores were started , but
these proved to bo failures , for they * like
those not In league with the farmers' , wora
"on the mako. "
Many are beginning to sco this , nnd with
the failing of the rotten institutions founded
on hopes by the leaden may bo hoard a
growing murmur of curses. The prospect of
uood crops has not tended to lower the tone
of this complaint , and the prospects of Immi
gration are such that the wulllng U changed
into hopo.

to TUB Bin : . ] In 18S3 Colonel Drake
of this city docldod ho would make
something of nn etfort to find how doon the
stone known ns the Sioux Falls granite wont.
In his quarries near the city several years
bcforo ho had sent a drill down about a hun
dred feet for the purpose of ascertaining the
quality of the stone at lower depths , but
there wore no signs whatever of exhausting
the supply. A favorable contract with a
Chicago firm to bore .with diamond drill
machinery was made and operations begun.
Tlio place selected was on some of Colonel
Drake's property , located near the center of
the city nnd known ns'Drano's springs/ * The
public was kept Informed and after 10'J foot
was reached begun to await developments.
Two hundred feet and nothing and then 1300.
Six hundred nnd twcuty-llvo foot In all and
still no developments.
Colonel Drake figures now that if tbo well
had gone down 700 feet a reservoir of water
of Immense dimensions would hnvo been
reached. Some tlmo after the diamond drill
machinery had boon removed In experiment
ing with his springs Colonel Drake cmno
across a sciontlllc gentleman by tbo nnme of
Sheldon , who was able to locate bcda of
water and determine their depth. After
conducting a series of experiments suftlcicntly
elaborate and successful to establish the
conulness of his theory , Export Sboldon
undertook to determine whether there
was nny water to bo found under the spot
where the diamond drill lind sunk Its bole of
025 feet. By the figures ho determined that
there was an extensive water basin 700 feet
below the surface. This bo ascertained with
out uny knowledge that tbo diamond drill
hud gone down < i2. > foot. Colonel Drake Is
consequently quite confident now that If the
drill had penetrated seventy-five foot farther
that a flow of water of great pressure would
have been the rosult.
New and Fertile Imnil.
HUHON , S. D. , July 26. [ Special to TUB
BIB. : ] The exceedingly dry weather of the
past few years has made a great many of the
old lake beds dry , and now the surveyor
genoinl Is being besieged by applicants for
surveys to determine to whom thu lands
shall belong. Decisions , however , seem to
maintain that thc o beds belong to the gov
ernment nnd the probability is that they will
all bo surveyed und opened for settlement
under the homestead net. It is thought that
not less than 50,000 acres will thus bo opened
to settlement In the eastern part of North
nnd South Dakota.

ICrug bnld that If the Insurgents had the
arms , which thov nro amply able to pay for ,
the rebellion would end inside of thlrty'days.
Ho reports that the government Is issuing
paper money to such an extent that there is
$ ! 0 of paper to $1 of gold. Tbo Insurgents
derive n revenue of ever SJ.OOO.OOO a month

There Is n diversity of opinion
some ot the higher'ortlcmU of the postonlco
Jopnrtmont ns to tlio ndvlsabillty of rccom-
munillng to congress n chmigo In the law
which would result In unsurlntf the contents
of nil letters sent through the registered
limits. Some of the ofllclnls fear
that the result would ho the creation
of n reason for dishonesty among the
senders of letters , ntul n corresponding
Increase In peculations upon the raM
pouchoi. Yet It Is n fact that In nearly
ovary country In Kuropo the government
gunrnntees the delivery of every valuable
package upon which the rcgistcry fee has
boon paid , nnd it Is not shown that the
losses are proportionately greater In Kuropo
than In this country.
One of the assistant postmaster generals Is
unqualifiedly in favor of the insurance
scheme. Ho says that ho cannot
see a plauslblo reason why * the United
States should not bo willing to do
what every ctvillxod nation does , namely , to
guarantee the semlor of a registered package
ntralnst loss In the mails. "Thoro was a pe
culiar state of atTiln In existence n low
years ngo , crowing out of the difference In
the registration laws , " said this ofllcial.
'Tho German government not only guaran
teed the roglituror of a letter against loss
while the loltnr was In transit through Ger
man territory , uut also insured it against
leas after tlio tetter reached the foreign
country to which it might bo addressed. On
several occasions persons in Gorm.iny have
sent money to relatives or business con
nections In the United States In registered
letters. Sometimes those letters have been
lost In the Llnitod States. A mall train may
have been wrecked , or a dishonest postal em
ploye may liitvo abstracted the contents of
the lettea Yet the Gorman postodlco au
thonties have made good such losses-
On the other liana if a letto.
Is mr.Ilod and registered in the United Ktntes
and lost elth ir In this country or the countrv
of destination the loser mubt stand the loss
alone , unless wo are able to recover. U'o
don't Insure , wo simply tuko care of tlio letter
and save it If wo c.in. This system Is wrong ,
and I hope that congress will change It. "
Another assistant when asked for his
views said that ho was opposed to the intro
duction of the Insurance system in this
country because wo tire bigger than nnv of
the insurinu'countries of liiiropo , nnd boc.iuso
In Europe tlio civil service system Is so estab
lished tnat an employe of the postolllco has
practically a llfo position , which ho would
not c.iro to joop.irdi/.o by depredations upon
thu mails.
An examination of some of the recent re
ports of the posticaster general seem to
indicate that thn registry division of tbo
postolllco dopiH-tmont is the most prolltablo
cud of the United States government , at the
present tlmo , not oven excepting the patent
ofllco. The latest published report , shows
that during the ilscal year 1800 the aggregate
niimbar of domestic letters registered was
14l-ftr > ( M. The fees on tho.sont 10 cents each
in addition to postage amounted to
$ l,4US5j.-U ( > . Henllv it costs the United
States but a mere trillo more to hiinUlo reels-
lored letters above the cost ol handling
Ordinary mails.
In some of the largo postoflices where many
registry clerks are employed , there Is some
expense for envelopes nnd record books , but
the total cannot exceed ? : iOO)00 , ( ) per annum.
Cmirgo up to the account of the registry
business the entire cost of the inspection
service , $1K0.000 per annum , and still nearly
$1,000,0will remain as a guarantee tund.
The report quoted shows the total loss of
money contained in registered letters , from
all causes. Including robhuriea and accidents ,
was only Sl. > ,000. Of this amount uio sum of
about ilOUO ) was recovered , so that the not
loss was only about fi-T OOO. It will b < > scon ,
therefore , that the United States could afford
to go into the Insurance of its own malls nnd
innko a big profit unless the losses should in
crease twenty fold , wich Is not likely , nnd
the registered letter business would bo cer
tain to increase in any event. P. S. II.
Don't read ! Don't think !
Don't believe 1 Now. are you
better ?
You women who think that
patent medicines are a hum
bug , and Dr. Piercc's Favor
ite Prescription the biggest
humbug of the whole ( because
it's best known of all ) does
your lack-of-faith cure come ?
It's very easy to " don't" in
this world. Suspicion always
comes more easily than con
fidence. But doubt little
faith never made a sick
woman well and the "Fa
vorite Prescription " has cured
thousands of delicate , weak
women , which makes us think
that our " Prescription" is
better than your don't believe.
We're both honest. Let us
come together. You try Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
If it doesn't do as represented ,
you get your money again.
Where proof's so easy , can
you afford to doubt ?
