The last time I wrote I was in Eagle Point, but this time I am In Fort Klamath. In my last I told tbe rpadeip of The Mall that I had Deen to Crater lake and left a patt of my oompany at the Natural bridge. Well, on Wednesday ot last week, t started on my journey for this place, Fort Klamatb, loaded with some of Jaok Bon oounty 's choicest truita and vege tables. By the time 1 reached Pros peot I began to be called on for a di vision of what 1 bad and from there on I kept on selling until by the time I reached here my losd had diminish ed until it was quite small. I oame by the oamp at the Natural bridge, and found tbe portion of my party j and family wore soon on tbe top of the bill!, and euabled to go on his way rejoicing After crossing the summit and going down tbe hill a short dis tance wo reached Mr. Araut's head quarters, where I found the genial old gentleman, he is father-in-law now, also Mr. Pbipps, Nelson Nye, Cbauoy Horey, Mrs. Arant. Jr., and Mr. and .Mrs Boothby, Jr., all busy working for Uncle Sam, and right here 1 wish to correct an erronoue idea tnat is abroad and that is that Mr. Arant is putting up a big hotel at the bead of Anna oroek and 1 am requested by Mr. Arant to say to the readers of The Mail and the few who don't read The Mail that he is not building a hotel, but that Uuole Sam is furnish ing the funds and be is building a nioe, eight-roomed houBe simply for an ollloo and family residence for him self and family, and that under no olroumstanoes would he keep hotel. The bouse be is putting up reflects great oredlt on hiB judgment, for it is neat, convenient and strongly built, 1 and by the time he has it completed it will be one of the nioest houses in this pait of tbe valley. He IB also puttiun a neat board fenoe around the lot and by tbe time he has all of tbe work done tbe plaoe will look quite homelike. Mr. A. says that he has some hopes of getting a foroe of men to work on the new road be has surveyed to luterseot the old road at Big White Horse this fall, a road that will have no grade of over twelve inches to the rod, thus saving tbe heavy pull up tbe bill to tbe summit that has always been one of the great est drswbaoks over tblv route. He al ready has the road made from Anna oreek to the valley and he assures me that by next year tbe ,oad will be completed for tbe fall travel. Clay Cano, to go to the huckleberry mountain to huut and bave u good time, and on last Friday morning he started off to try to kill a deer.
