Jan. 23. -The alteration in the Meadow Brook mail schedule, where by our mail leaves Oregon City at 8 instead of 10 A.

As your correpondent has been silent for some time I will try now to give a few items. The weather of the past few weeks has been generally good and farmers have been very busy clearing and othervis taking ad vantage of it. The High Forest Debating Society has started up anew after being closed down for three weeks on account of the prevalence of the mumps and bad weather. Last Satur day night the crowd was not so large as usual, but the occasion was an enjoyable one. The question debated was, "Resolved, That moilern improved machinery is a det riment to this country." The affirmative was led by K. F. Brims and the negative by &. Jonsrude. The discussion was short but earnest, and was decided in favor of the negative. At the close of tbe debate the literary exercises were opened with a erect ing song bv the choir, followed bv recita- tions, readings and songs, all rendered in an excellent manner. The question for de bate at the next meeting is, " Resolved, That the Indians have had more cruel treat ment from the hands of the whites than tbe negroes." The following! officers were ! elected: President, L. Huglnm; vice presi dent, Bert Jonsrud; secretary, OlafMickle son; treasurer, R. Jonsrud, marshal, H. Brunner.

Bandy taxpayers and voters are looking head with flattering prospects of getting a plank road tbrongb here. The new Portland road is now entirely blockaded since the storm and not a team bas been on it since. Remember that this is our main public thoroughfare.
