The progressive white man has taken
Misession and melainnrphosed all with
his many modem contrivances. To an

River takes it course westward,
through ennyons, over cataracts and

placid Pacific.
In the foreground of the picture, and
almost beneath our feet, wc view with
delight Jacksonville with its churches,
Catholic, Methodist and Presbyterian,
and many substantial brick structures,
the most notable being the Masonic
and Odd Fellows' Halls, Holt.s Hotel
and firth's brick block. A little etst
of the town proper, on a natural eleva
tion most suitable for the purpose,
stands the district school house, with a
most ellicient corps of teachers, Prof.
Merrill, Principal. A little south of
the district school and fronting on one
of the main streets is located the Sis
ters' school for young Indies; these
comprise the educational institutions.
All around us we view mountains and
hills inclosing one of the most beauti
ful and lovely spots in Oregon or, we
may say, on the Pacific slope; even nt
this writing, in March, all is clothed iu
green verdure. Could a Rubens, a
VanDyke or a Kaulhach rise fri ni
his silent tomb with what delightful
emotions he would view the land
scae before him.
The town of Jacksonville, according
to the last census, contains a population
of 850 souk It is well supplied in all
branches of mechanical and mercantile
pursuits. VVhut we need is a banking
institution of some kind to accommo
date the growing want of the people
of Southern Oregon. The town lakes

a competent person inaugurate an en
