A Letter Contained In the Orejoo Spectator of June 26th, 1851, .Written By Robert Moore, Recalls Incident of the Early Settlement of This County. ; Through tho kindness of T. W. Fonts we were furnished a copy of the Oregon Spectator of un early date, from which is taken tho following in teresting article : For the Spectator. Mr. Editor: On Monday, the Kith inst., accompanied by Mr. Charles Sanbourn and Mr. Charles Madden and two Indians, I boarded a skiff at the saw miM owned by James M. Moore & Co., on the Tualitan creek, and from thence proceeded about three or four miles up the stream to Dr. Brown's Ferry, tho water being deep and clear of rafts and snags. Thence for about half a mile wo' ascended a ripple in which there is from about one foot to eigh teen inches fall, in regard to which I will help to observe, that when the dam for the sawmillis raised tho bight that is intended there will le at least four foot of water on the ripple, and but a slight current if any. From Dr. Brown's we proceeded about three miles before we saw any shags; thence until night passing three small rafts and occasionally snags stream deep. On tho 27th we set off at an early hour up tho creek, and went probably thirty-five or forty miles by its meand ers, from the sawmill, reaching the settlement!! on creek. Tho land on both sides all the way up is first rate, with openings und tho finest kind of timber. Night came on. Dur ing the day we passed many snags and several crafts, (in all twenty) most of which were small and none very large, occasioned by heavy tim ber falling across the stream which by removing the crow timbers the diffi culties would bo obiviated, as the timber up stream is generally afloat. The whole distance with the exception of Dr. Brown's ripple, the creek is deep and from' one hundred and fifty to two hundred feet wide; many bonds, but the angles are not so acute but that a steamboat of sixty or sev enty feet long, and from fifteen to twenty feet beam could pass thtun without difficulty. I had intended to proceed to the source of the Tualatin, or as High up as navigable, but as Mr.Madeu had set out to go only a few miles, and was about to leave us this morning ( 18tli inst. ) the Indians declined to go any further, and we could procure no help. We left our skiff near Mr. Sliull's saw mill, about two miles below Mr. liar ris' Ferry, and concluded to return homo and report progress, witli leave ti go again, or that others might have . enterprise, to take the skiff and con- tiuue until they arrive at the heal qf navigation ; and it is to be hoped tltat tho enterprise will not stop with this adventure, but that it will be prosecuted to complete fruition, as I have no hesitation in saying that this stream, if opened and cleared out and a small steamer put on will be of vastly importance to a large section of the country than any other enterprise that'is in agitation in this day of pro gression in improvements. An intel ligent and enlightened community, I doubt not, will attend to it. Don't let tho time slip, nor dissipatte your energy and lucaSis in any tit her that will .not bo to your true interest.

John Scott, of Scott's Mills ,0n the Trail of the County Commissioners. John Scott has appllied to the circuit court for a writ of review of the ac tion of the bourd of county commis sioners in ordering a road opened through his place and the matter is up for heaing today. Scott lives at Scott's Mills on Butte Creek, which is the dividing line between Clacku mns and Marion counties. Last March a petition was presented to the bourd for a road down Butte Creek and nt the June term of the board the ques tion was laid over until the board could have an opjiortuiiity to com municate with the Marion county couit in regard to the construction of a bridge across Butte Creo!r, the cost to be borne by the two counties. But Marion refused to go into the deal and the bridge project was abandoned. At the June term Scott wns present and said ho would claim $1000 dam ages, in view of the fact that tho con struction of tho road prevented him from putting iu a mill race on tho Clackamas side of t lie creek. The road is laid out through Scott's property and was ordered opened at tho October term of the board but is not yet ready for travel. Scott says that the board should have notified him that the road was to be opened. Ho has never put iu a claim for damages. The board is willing to allow him nomiual damages as he will lie put to tho expense of building fences. BUT THE MAN HAD FLED.'

The technical beginning of the sow ing machine Industry In this country wus Sept. 10. 1S4U, when Elias Howe, Jr., obtained a patent for what grew i:ito the first really practical sewing machine. Only three of the first Howe machines were made, however, and one of these was deposited In the pat cut office hi Washington us u model. It was not until aiter lSoO that u fac tory for the making of sewing .ma chines was built, so the enormous busi ness of today bus frown up In a short half century. While Howe's Invention marked the beginning of a successful industry, he was by no means the pioneer In ef forts to substitute inechuiiical for hand sewing. As fur back as 1770 Thomas Alscp patented in England a uinchlne for embroidering. Another machine for embroidering In a loom was invent ed by John Duncan In 1804, and twenty-live years later another Englishman named Ileliuian patented still another embroidering machine. Tho first retorted attempt nt me chanical sewing Was the Invention of Thomas Saint, who took out a patent In England In 1:i.i for a machine which executed the eld crochet stitch. It was not a succf s. but some of tho features of the Pfeint machine nppear In the piwfectert Machine of today. r.iu'tliolcni.v Thhnonnler patented In France In is:!n the first sewing ma chine put to piartieal use. Eighty of Ills machines v.ere In use for sewing army clothing In 1841, when a mob rte stroyed them binise convinced they would drive seam stresses out of em ployment. Thlnoiinier built new nnd bettor machines but all his work wns again destroyed by angry artisans In ISM. John J. Grecmmgu took out the first patent for a scuing machine Issued In the United States In 1S12. It was In tended to sew leather, but was of no practical use. Walter Hunt of New York built n sewing machine lu ISM, but failed to protect It by a patent. After Howe's machine appeared Hunt declared it embodied the l.leas of his machine of 1834. but he wus unable to establish his claim. A small army of Inventors appeared of tor Howe's patent had proved suc cessful, nnd their genius wns devoted to perfecting every part of tho ma chine. How well they hnve succeeded Is shown In the 8.500 patents for sew ing machines nnd attachments Issued by the United States since ISfiO and In the fact that the American sewing ma chine leads all others In every country In the world.
