Railroad Progress.
Wednesday morning's Oregonian has
the following in regard to the progress
and probable success of the two Oregon
railroads. The Willamette valley needs
both roads, and we hope to see work on
the East and West sides pushed vigorous
ly along during the coming summer :
There is great activity in the mills
and shops of the East side railroad. Ev
erything is in the best possible order,
and the manner in which the work is
going on is a certain indication that the
road is to bo pushed forward rapidly.
In and about the mills and shops one
hundred and twenty-five men are employ
ed and theuood weather we are now haviner
is extremely favorable for the prosecu
tion of the work. The two steam saw
mills are being pushed to their utmost
capacity. One of them is engaged ex
clusively upon ties, of which it cuts suf
ficient for half a mile of road per day.
On Monday last this mill sawed 1,640
ties, or enough for three fifths of a mile,
amounting to 52,000 feet of lumber.
About fifty men are required to keep it
at work. The o her mill is cutting tim
ber for bridges and trestle work. It saws
timber, when required, 110" feet in
length. It is intended to prepare at
these mills all the ties, bridge timber and
trestles which will be required lor the
road, at least as far as Santiam. Each
of the mills is situate! ia an excellent
b; dy of timber, very near the line of the
road, and about two miles distant from
Milwaukie. About 60,000 ties have al
ready been sawed, and a considerable
quantity of bridge timber. In the ma
chine and car shops near East Portland
work is going on briskly. Two superb
passenger cars, each fifty feet in length,
are advanced towards completion, and
eight more will be built immediately.
Several heavy construction cars have also
been built. About two -miles this side
of the Clackamas . river a party lire em
ployed putting in foundations for a con
siderable piece of trestle work which it
is necessary to erect at that point. All
appearances indicate that the road , will
make rapid progress during the coming
summer. It is gratifying to witness the
activity that is being displayed in this
enterprise. Every person in Oregon has
an interest in knowing that our railroad
projects are to go on. Work on the
West side, we are told, is being prose
cuted With rigor. The Wallamet valley
wants both roads.
Improvements. The fine weather
has brought out our carpenters, and con
siderable inprovements in the way of
additions and new buildings, have been
commenced. Among the others, we
notice that Dave Thomson is putting up
an addition to his shop on Front Street.
Mart. Paine. Esq., ia erecting one of
the neatest picket fences around his
premises, on First between Ellsworth and
Lyon streets, in the city. J. Monteith,
Esq., is also putting up a neat fence and
sidewalk, and giving his premises, at the
head of Ferry street, a few coats of
paint.; This ia Jbut the beginning of the
genera spring refitting.
; Letter from Corvallis.
things in and! around corvallis.
Editor Register : VA few items in
connection with this growing "city of the
West" and its surroundings, has attract
ed my attention, and may interest your
readers. Twenty years ago no one claim
ed this "illibee" but the Iudhns, until
J. C. Avery taked out his "mile square"
and began the work of town building.
It first bore the name of Marysvilfe, from
the small stream putting into the Wil
lamette at the upper part of town. The
name was finally changed to Corvallis
(Heart ot the Valley), to prevent being J
identified with a village named Marv I
ville ia California. All the business
houses are on Main street, and from the
number of persons who appear, on the
street we are led to think that tasioesa
is more lively here than at Albany. Of
course, the "West Side" rail road is a
"dead certainty,'' right through the prin
ciple street we can almost hear the whis-"
tie now ! There arc six different denomi
nations here who hold worship, and four
houses of public jworship, which indicates
that the soul, as well as the body, is
looked after. There is also a College,
under tLe superintendence of the M. E.
Church South, which we learn is in a
prosperous state.! There are several sun
day schools, two temperance societies,
two saloons (just even), cue Catholic
church nearly completed, besides other
laaiitutions too numerous to menticn.
Wc spent a few moments with the en
terprising, anti-whisky editor of the
Gazette, who appears hopeful against all
"odds and ends." and determined to bles
the people of Oregon by warning their
children to avoid the "sink hjlcs" of in
iquity and gateways to perdition which
staud open day and night, and educate
them to temperance, sobriety and indus
try, through his excelleut paper. Out
severr' miles West of Corvallis, on the
road to Yaquina, stands the Philomath
College, which has an imposing appear
ance, when we take into consideration
the surroundings. "It is built of brick,
at a cost of $12,000 or 15,000. It is
under the supervision of the United
Brethren Church. We admire their en
terprise, but doubt their judgment ia the
location. The number of students at
tending is sixty-five or seventy.
Yours, I.
The cause of the ill-humor of Abbott,
as displayed in an article iu last week's
Democrat, condemning the action of the'
State Agricultural Society iu appointing
Hon. John Minto editor o? their publi
cation, the Willamette Farmer, and se
riously advising Democrats not to sub
scribe fur the paper because Mr. Minto
is a Republican, may arise from the fact
that Abbott hiiasclf was an aspirant for
the position ! if o be sure John Minto
has some ability jfand will doubtless mike
a good paper; but then what are his
abilities when compared with thase of the
Editor-in-Chief i of the Democrat ! Of
course the objection could not have been
brought against Abbott, had he been se
lected as editor of tr e Farmer, that he
was a Copperhead ot the strictest sect,
and full of the! bitterest partisan preju
dices ! Abbott's advice to County Treas
urer's to withhold moneys in their hands
due the State for taxes, not many weeks
ago, was heeded about as much as this
last advice to farmers in relation to sub
scribing to ihe Willamette Farmer will be.
Farmers who want a good paper devoted
to their interests will subscribe for it all
the more readily" for his condemnation
What an immense influence !
Idaho Items. The prospects at Ida
ho City are reported good, and every
body is in good spirits. - The people of
the Basin are' but little affected with
White Pine fever. There is about two
and a half feet 'of snow around the town,
and eight to ten feet of snow in the moun
tains. It is the general impression that
the coming will be the best mining sea

The Humboldt Register says that if the"
bitter rivalry between the Central and
Union Pacific railroad companies contin
ues to widen and deepen, and finally re
sults in the building of two roads, in
stead of one, : across the continent, the
people will have great cause to be thank
ful, as competition is what they want,
above all else.j If the Union Pacific at
tempt to pass, the Central Pacific with
an independent line, the Central Pacific
will find the means of self-preservation
in an independent line by way of St.

STATE ITEMS.
We have received the Portland Direc
tory for the year 18GD, compiled and
published by S. J. McCormick, Esq
It is neatly gotten up, and contains much
valuable information in regard to the
growth and prosperity of Portland du
ring the last twelve months. From it
wa learn'that the preseut aggregate popu
lation of Portland is composed of, whites,
males 3,762 ; females 8,156 ; colored,
males 41; females 21; Chinese, males
329; females, 171. Total, 7,080 ; being
an increase of 1,263 over the population
of last j ear. f he increase since 1860, is
5,063.
Our cotempory, the Eugene Journal,
closes its fifth volume on the 20th. The
Journal is one cf the neatest printed pa
pers ia the State, and deserves the large
patronare it receives.
The Eugene Guard tells of three citi
zens who went out to the Mt-Kinzie, were
absent four daj-s, and brought back eleven
deer.
. Afc a concert given at Eugene, on the
evening of the Il)th, for the benefit of
the Baptist library, 75 were raised.
Says the Salem Unionist : Treasurer
Cooke Iras filled in "the Secretary of
States' office, additional bonds required by
oar laws, when the accumulation of cash
shall exceed the sum of one hundred thous
and dollars in the State Treasury. After
all the accusations of the Democratic pa
pers, they have not weakened the faith
of our nionir d men in the honesty and
integrity of our State Treasurer. We
congratulate the people of the State,
that they have a public servant, who can
in his own county, procure bondsmen
who represent a million of money.
When the keys of the strong"box are in
the hands of such a man, the recple can
rest secure with the-knowledge that eve
ry cent of the State funds will be account
ed for. The Democratic papers may
charge fraud, and rave like mad, but
their howls only betray what they would
do, had they the opportunity they
judge others by themselves. We hope
the Tie.tsurer's office may always be filled
by such men as Mr. E. N. Cooke.
Drs. Carpenter and Payton. says the
Salem Unionist, successfully removed a
tumor from the j shoulder of the wife ot
Rev. J. A. Ilanna, a resident of Eugeue
City, on last Saturday. The tumor was
ol ten year's growth, and had been neglect
ed until it had become quite troublesome.
On Monday last," Mr. Norman, on cor
ner of First and Washington streets,
Portland, exhibited the first velocipedes
ever seen in Oregon. From the Oregoni
an we learn that the exhibition created
no little excitement everybody went to
see them. Several of our citizens have
declared their intention to purchase, aud
as soon as the. mud dries up wc expect to
see velocipedes in every direction.
From the Oregonian we get the details
of the accidental killing of Mrs. Rachael
Elizabeth Clark, of Washington county,
on Saturday, the 20th. Her husband
had jast returned from a hunting expe
dition, bringing in a deer. Mrs. Clark
ran out to assist him, and while convers
ing with him. reached for the gun which
was hanging against the fence. The
hammer struck the fence when the gun
went off and lodged twenty-five buck
shot in her breast. She leaves a hus
band and two young children ; was a na
tive of Clay county, Missouri, and twenty
one years of age. An inquest was held
by Mr. J. L. Meek, and a verdict was
rendered by the jury in accordance with
the above facts.;
The Eugene city Guard is recom
mending the completion of the wagou road
over the Cascade Mountains by the Mc
Kenze Foik of . the Willamette river.
That paper claims that pass to be lower
than the one at the head of the coast fork
of the Willamette. J
The State Journal tells of a man who
lives on the Coast Fork who sold a keg
of lard which was gouged oufc in the mid
dle and filled with water.
The Gazette says two velocipedes are
being built in Corvallis. r
The Long Tommers were gladened
by the visit of a steamboat at Monroe
last wfcek. The only difficulty experi
enced in navigating the stream was from
the branches of trees. ' ' .
- ' No new cases of small pox either at
Corvallis or Yaquina. The Gazette states
that the rumor of small pox at the Siletz
Reservation is without foundation.
Business has again been resumed in
Jacksonville. No new cases of small
pox reported, and it is thought all danger
from the disease is passed.
The "resources" of the Goose Lake
country, given by a correspondent of the
Eugene Guard, are summed up as fol
lows : During the month of May an
industrious man can gather from ten to
twenty dozen goose eggs and as many
duck eggs, at the mere cost of picking
them up, as they are laid by the wild
fowls which breed 1 there by the million.
As soon as railroad facilities are afforded
there is "big thinsi" in ice. as the lakes
the bottom durinj
six
are frozen to
months in the year. Larce vats con Id
be prepared, say ten feet deep, ten feet
wide and thirty feet long, which could
be filled with water during the summer
and they would freeze solid during the
winter ; in this condition vat and ice
could be sent aboard the cars, to any
market in the Union, .and your fortune
would be made. Another "lay 'out"
would be in the lime business, as it is a
cash article in Oregon, and the margin
of the lake abounds in the elements of
lime. A smart boy could collect five
bushels of egg shells per day, which,
when burned, would produce four bar
rels of the finest lime in the world, worth
S15 per barrel in any market ! Another
thing not to be sneezed at is the feather
business. Feathers are in demand in
Oregon, and right here's the place to get
them easy. Ft would only be necessary
to have a patent bpring net, say about
one mile in length, and half a mile wide,
made of such material as would be in
visible to the fowls, and any one can see
that there would be no difficulty in tak
ing from ten to twenty thousand fowls
at a haul ; when all you would have to do
would be to pick 'em and let 'em go till
their feathers grow out and then net'em
again. If the above inducements are
not sufficient to induce a trip to Goose
Lake, what would induce ?
The Unionist has the following about
the child that was lost at Sa!era on Sat
urday evening last: The little fellow
was not found until 2 o'clock Sunday
evening. He received some severe in
juries from the frost, but is how consid-
ereu out oi danger, 'llie cluld is abou:
two and a half years old, and on Satur
day afternoon, that being a pleasant day.
it was taken out to play by some child
ren older, who played at hide seek until
abouc 4 o'clock, when they misled the
little boy. The older children ran home
and gave the alarm, when the parents
started out to find the little wanderer.
Iu this they failed, aud about dark the
alarm was sounded in the city, and a
company of about rne hundred persons
went over and beat about several hours,
when .they , all got together and
formed a line, stretching over as much
ground as possible, and made a thorough
search. In this way the company scour
ed the whole country as -far as it was
thought possible that the little boy would
go, but to no avail. Finally it came to
the mind of Mr. Miller, partner of Mr.
AVeastcott, to try his dog. A hat was
shown to the dog which had been worn
by the boy. After smelling the hat the
dog was taken to where the boy was last
seen, when he struck out, followed by Mr.
Miller. The dog went much faster than
his master, but when too tar ahead re
turned again. In this manner, the track
was followed for a mile and a half, to
within a short distance from Frebits
Smith's place, where the - dog went
into a thicket. From this it would
not come, although his master used both
commands and entreaties. Finally Mr.
Miller went into the brush, and there,
on a small pile of sticks, lay the little
wanderer, insensible from the cold. Mr.
Miller was so moved at the suffering of
the little fellow, that he' missed his way
and wandered about for as much as two
hours before" he got out. At first theJ
physicians thought the boy could not live,
but by good treatment he has recovered
so that he can talk. His feet are frosted
considerably aud some of the muscles
will probably slough off; In his wand
ering the boy had waided through water
waist deep, and getting wet contributed
greatly to the intensity of the cold.
On the Rampage.- The last issue of
the Democrat is on a full sheet, and is

Alabama and Mississippi. One of
the most remarkable snow storms ever
seen in the South fell in Mississippi and
Alabama last Sunday night.' Cars which
arrived here yesterday morning from
Huntsville were still covered with snow,
although the day seemed quite warm.
We have heard of the snow aa f:ir Aust-. a
Tuscumbia, and west of that to a point
this side of Grand Junction, and north
of Grand Junction to Jackson, Tennes
see, and south far below Canton, Missis- i
ipp-
In the region of Huntsville the snow
to the depth of eight to ten inches, and
in some places, in the ; hollows and cuts
of the railroad, it had drifted to the depth
of three or four feet, and the passage of
trains was greatly impeded. We are in
formed that it was necessary five times
within a few miles to unfasten the loco
motive from the passenger train and clear
away the banks of 6oow that obstructed
the road. One train was delayed several
hours. Such an occurence on that road
is very rare indeed.
At Holly Springs, we learn from Col.
George Myers, snow fell Monday night
three or four inches deep, and Monday
following rabbit hunting prevailed
throughout the borders of Marshall coun
ty. It was rare sport for the country
boys ; but before night, the snow de
clined in favor of General Mud,' and the
surviving rabbits had the joke in their
favor. , v . r r. ' .
At Vicksburg, where magnolias bloom
and orange trees smile in mid winter, the
snow was over a foot deep. Only think
of snowballing and sleighing in the
sunny lattitude of. Vicksburg. :
Juvenie Burglars. A gang of
eight juvenile burglars, ranging frdm
