Once more I w ill try to drop
you a line from the upper river.
I have not w ritten since “ Sub­
scriber” perpetrated that broadside
against me. I did not at the time
think proper to reply; but ho miss­
ed it as bad as I did.
We are sorry to have lost a good
neighbor. Mr. A. M. G illespie
has gone to E llensburg to school
his children.
Mr. Thomas Sm ith has gone
: p the river,
John McCoy went out the other
m orning and soon espying two
large bucks, shot aud crippled
one when the two fell to lighting
eachother. Presently tho bellig­
erent brutes eaught sight of Mr.
NeCoy and made for him. lie lit
out and shot at his pursuers as ho
ran. R eturning to tho scene af­
terw ards he found he had killed
one of them —a

The Weekly Exam iner of Oct.
27th, is worth the price of sub-
f •riptitjn f o r a whole year. The
front page is almost wholly occu­
pied with a railroad map showing
the lines on the Pacific Coast in
operation and those projected, tho
whole constituting a b ird ’s-eye
view of the great railroad sys-
lems in their relations to this side
of tho Continent. This map is
posted up in our office for refer­
ence, and for tho inspection of
any who wish to see nt a glance
the railroad possibilities of this

On A I a r n tio ii.
The Ju n io r took his departure
from this place, Friday of last
week, the season of his annual va­
cation being present. Ho will
take in the Bay country in his
travels, and if he should forget
which one of the Ju n io rs he is,
we hope some one will “ do” him
ap with care and return him at
our risk and expense.

Wo sometime since sent out
requests for statements of the
b u tter product of the several dai­
ries in this county, and have pe­
rceived reports from threo in tho
N orth end of tho couniy so far.
Chris Long milked 64 cows and
packed for shipm ent 1)300 pounds
of butter.
Mr. A. II. T h rift milked 10 cows
with a product of 5000 pounds,
and M essrs Langlois Bros, milked
fifty cows aud made 4500 pounds
of butter. A total for the three
dairies reporting,
of
10,000
pounds. The dairy season in this
county is short, the m ilking ceas­
ing when tho weather sets in bad.
I t is the intention of many of our
dairym en to provide conveniences
for longer seasons of milking,
when the aggregate product of
b u tter will be greatly enliancod.
Mr. T h rift contem plates doubling
tho capacity and product of his
dairy another season. No report
from Messrs. W ells, H ughes and
McKenzie. Mr. Hughes is devot­
ing his principal attention to line
stock raising, and to the enlarge-
meut of his pastures to increase
his posabilfties in that industry.
O ur townsman Mr. Jensen, has
made something of a showing in
tho b u tter line this year. We
hope* to be able soon to state the
product of tho several extensive
dairies so u th of P o rt Orford.

Tho P ortland papers adopt all
sorts
of
means, by
th eir
silence concerning things cred ­
itable to P o rt O rford, and giving
undue prominence to any fact or
circumstance which, in their eag­
erness to disparage the place, they
can torture into something they
fondly hope will tend that way.
A poorly disguised effort in this
line and to this end is witnessed
in the purpose of those sheets to
locate H unter’s Point at Port
O
I rford, and then parado tho item
glqppicd from T he P ost that a part
of the crew of the “ Mary D.
H um e” were swamped in attem p t­
ing to make tho shore, and that
tho vessel d ^ o not „attem pt to
come in. Before raid papers at­
tem pt another fraud of the sort,
their editors willdo well to give
a little attention to local geogra­
phy. H u n ter’s Point is below
the m outh of Rogue river, and is
between 30 and 40 miles South of
Port O rlord.

This place was visited on Tues­
day with a protracted hailstorm ,
preceeded by quite heavy thunder.
The ice missiles which fairly ra in ­
ed down for several m inutes were
of very uniform size—say about as
large as common peas.

On the opening of the fishing
season on the Coquille river
says the News, we gave to e names
of the parties engaged in rue b u si­
ness and an estim ate of the num ­
ber of barrels which would proba­
bly bo pu t up. Now that tho sea­
son is about closed wo lhfd
that tho num ber of barrels actually
p u t up will fall a little short of
reaching our estimate. This is
owing to tho fact that it was impos­
sible to get help to care for the
fish and when a certain number
were caught, d u rin g the day or
night, thi> fisherman h aiH o return
to the salting house, several boats
catching, at tim es, th e i' allowed
num ber in two hours with drift
nets. Tho num ber of liarrels of
salmon p u t up this v err by the
parties engaged is as follows:

Coos and C urry counties, occu­
pying a stretch of country from
the C alijoruia lino up the Coast
to the N orthw ard for a distaneo of
150 miles, and shut off from the
interior by the Coast Rango, have,
heretofore, been treated by the
balance of Oregon as of no p racti­

thought to have done odd jobs
