Saturday afternoon we made a hurried trip though from Astoria, to ihe end of the route "of Summer pleasure seekers on Clatsop Plains. The preparation that have been made for the accommodation of visi tors cannot be excelled. At Skipa lion we found Hr. Pease and Mr. "Wirt both, well provided with teams and .conveyances, besides the regular home-Uke attractions at their res pective houses of entertainment Mr Pease is offering his place to gether with the stock, for sale or to rent, but Mr. Wirt appears to be iixed for a life time, and in a wayto prolong the life of any who may wish to tarry with him. The road through to Dc&ter's (Sea side House), is in fine -condition, and a lively pair of hdrse3 took us from ..Skipanon to the Seaside, a distance of fifteen miles, in short order. Bark er's teams leave the landing on the arrival of 'the boat every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday hiorning but as we started in an "extra" from Astoria a special team was required at Skipanon, and without any notice whatever "Wirt started us on our journey in less than half an hour after reaching his place. This shows that there need be no' delay whether connections are made with the stages or not. To-day a four-horse Concord Coach is to be placed on the route, we understand for daily trips. The Seaside House is a large fine hotel, built at heavy expense, finish ed and furnished in fine style, per lect in all its appointments, by Ben llolladay; The lessee C H, Dexter, and Mrs. Dexter, appear to be well adapted to keeping a house of this order, and are succeeding admirably. The grounds are handsomely laid out, and the whole place is like an oasis in a barren rocky spot Shell roads, shady nooks, babbling brooks and secluded re ti eats are invitingly and temptingly arranged and pre sented on all sides. Several parties are there now, aiid Mr. Dexter in forms us nearly all the rooms in his house are engaged for the season. Two neat villa-s have been construct ed near the Seaside, one of which is occupied is a country seat by Ben llolladay and the other is being fin ished. Mrs. Cloutrie, long and favorably known as keeper of the Summer House, has just completed and furn ished a neat two story building, and is prepared to accommodate ah in creased number of visitors. 'The Grimes House is also open on Clatsop Beach, and Ir Grimes will b6 pleas ed to see his old friends and as many new ones as may wish to come. .We found no better accommoda tions any whe're than can be had in Astoria; no more diversified or at tractive sports than are found here; but everything is in good order, and to the thousands who are dying for want of relaxation and recreation in Oregon or California, we wish to say t hat the small sum of money required to be expended in the expenses of a trip to Clatsoi) county at this season of year could not be better invested. There is not a spot on the Pacific coast presenting greater inducements to the classes of jeople needing rest, and that diversion calculated to re fresh and strengthen both mind and body. Wo have not time to-day to speak of the numerous fine farms along the route, of the splendid crops being har vested, the herds of neat fat cattle to be seen, but will pay those subjects the thoughtful attention they deserve in the proper time. Suffice it for the pesent to say that this, our first trip lo Clatsop Plains, awakened new and suggestive themes important to this community, and of interest to the general public. The Modocs. We expect soon to hear the last of the Modocs. 'The trial of the prisoners has been con- cm ied. ie wis and Clarke Ki Ven. iJomia correfcrKmcfenee to tfie '&& govianhy femithlof gprt Clgj clijp asjfollews: b j- JC T-his -historic littleriverr -with its- piacia waters emDosomeq in evei preen' hills, forms one of the most charming and romantic bite of land-; scape to he seen in the State) and is, destined at no distant day to be fre quented by all pleasure seekers and lovers of the beauties of nature.. " The whole length of the river is lined with rich tide land and bottom land, and luxuriant forests, which are a mine of wealth to the industri ous woodsmen and dairymen' Referring to the beauties of the location, and its historic reminis censes, the writer says: "And now about Fort Clatsop, erected by Lewis and Clake nearly three quarters of a century ago Time has exerted its silent but de structive influences upon them till there now remains but the remnante of a foundation log and some decay ing fragments of elk horns to mark the spot where these gallant explorers' about thirty in number, spent the Wmter. " As one stands beneath a group of stately firs, the only living witness of the erection of this fort, -and gazes upon the few mouldering relics at his feet, a feeling of pleasurable sad ness thrills the soul, and the thoughts revert back across the vast trackless wilderness through which the brave little band passed, to the narrow strip of settled country on the Atlan tic seaboad which then constituted the United States. Silence then reigned supreme over the waters of the world. But one solitary steam boat was afloat, and the now omni present steam whistle was unknown. There were no railroads, no tele graphs, and-the civilized world mov ed slowly and silently on. "But the infant nation begins to expand, northward it comes to the summit of the Rocky mountains, down their western slope to the great Pacific, till now, all is life and activ ity, where silence and solitude then reigned undisturbed. "From where you stand .by these decaying relics of patriotic enterprise, the steam whistle is heard daily, echoing through the forests, and a mong the hills. Farm houses, vil lages, cities and steamboats have robbed the wilderness of its solitude. Railroads and telegraph lines check er the land-. A vast empire .grand and mighty in its proportions has arisen; and all this since these logs were thrown together to give protec tion to Lewis and Clarke, sixty-eight years ago. " I wish to ay that I am carefully preserving what few relics remain, and it will aflbrd me much pleasure to show and explain everything pos sible to thoiie who may desire to see for themselves the ite of this pioneer American post on the Pacific coast. "The road from Fort Clatsop to the points, of intersection with the road on the plains, is nearly three miles in length, and it runs over one of the most lovely and romantic re gions in Oregon. "All the grades are easy, and the route is in every way attractive and delightful, and when completed it will be one of the most refreshing and exhilarating drives in the coun try. Parties from up-country can take the boat at Portland with their families and carriages; land at Fort Clatsop at any stage of the tide, and proceed on their way to the Summer House without delay. "Take the entire trip from Port land to the beach down the majestic waters of old Columbia, amid ever green hills, overhanging clifis and towering mountains, with scately snow-clad peaks to the right, left and rear, piercing the -blue ether; the broad mirror like waters of Astoria Bay set on emerald hiHs; Young;s Bay, with its enchanting scenes; a drive through deep forest shades, among sparkling rills, around the heads of precipitous canyons, richly adorned with evergreens, and finally terminating in the thunders of Old Ocean on one of the most delightful shores of America all combined con stituteone of the happiest and most charming excursions that could well be imagined." School Ship. Californians are ask ing for a training ship (Reform), for refractory boys. We hope they will succeed. The suggestion of such a thing came from Oregon, but for want of proper steps to secure the ship here, California has been allow ed to press her claims. The ship California will be asked for on the recommendation of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and the mech anics Deliberative Assembly. When is that reform school to open in Port land? Removed. Mr Tim Driscoli re moves to Westport to-day. He has chartered the sloop lone, Captain Shively, to remove his koushold gods to his nw home. Mute ScHopjL.-re happened to be present at thefclose of the x Mute School in Salem, for the term' last ght looksafter ltT""btrtMr: and -Mrs..Smith, mutes,-formerly-of Michi gan, are the teachers, .. It is astonish-. ingftp see the progress, made byj the school, and so many are jiow attend ing we hope the State will keep it Up. The next term begins' next month. Do not be Deceived. On approach ing Oregon from "the sea, and .going interior from this point by the Co lumbia river, the country has the ap pearance of a dense forest from the thick growth of evergreen trees near the stream and on the distant moun tains, but -a trip by land will show some of the finest country the sun ever shone upon. Go and look at it before you leave the country. ) Ochoco. The late flurry about the mines of Ochoco it seems from later accounts was rather premature. Color is found in nearly all the creeks and canyons, but no gold in paying quantities. Special Election. Governor Grov er has issued a call for q, special elec tion to be held October 13th, for the purpose. of selecting a 'man .to fill the seat left vacant in Congress by the death of Hon. Joseph G. Wilson. To Investors. Tho Northern Pacific Railroad Company has now built, equipped and put in operation, hoarly 317 miles of its main line of road through an excellent coun try and along what is known as tho Valley Route to thoPa'cific. The finished portions already enjoy a largo and fast increasing traffic The sections approaching completion connect the chain of Lakes with the navigation of tho Upper Missouri and Columbia rivers with Paget Sound, securb at once a largo and piofitablo business and entitle tho Company to about 10,400,000 acres of excellent average land in fee simple. With these accomplished results, tho Com pany offers, and is now rapidly selling, its First Morgage Bonds, for completing tho construction and equipment, of its road across tho Continent After careful investigation, wo recommend these bonds as a well secured and unusually profitable investment. They havo CO years to run; principal and interest ard payable in gold; the interest (seven and three-tenths per cent) is eiual now to about 8)4 por cent in curroncy. The coupon and registered bonds can be exchanged for each other, at the pleasuro of tho holder. Gold checks for the semi-annual interest on the registered bonds are mailed, to the post office address of the owner. , These securities havo the following elemonts of strength and safety: Thoyarethe obliga tion of it strong corporation; they are also a mortgage on the Road, its right of way, equip ments and franchises, ajid a first lean on its not earnings. In addition to this usually suf ficient security, there is pledged for tho pay ment of the principal and interest a Grant of Land, averaging about 23,000 Acres per Milo for tho entire length of tho , Road. At the average price per aero at which bther Land Grants havo thus far been sold, this real estate security will yield more than $161,000 per mile 'more than throe times tho possible is sue of1 bonds. The Company has alreadv begun the pro cess of redeeming and cancelling its first mort gage bonds, as they are now being received, at 1.10 in payment and exchange for tho Com pany's lands.
