Paris Is probably the best defended
city in the world in the way of fortifica
tions, eto. The city is completely sur
rounded by two lines of defense, one
within the other. A wall thirty-three
feet in hight; embracing both banks of
tha Seine, baaliouea ami terraced, forms
a continuous enclosure of twenty two miles
in length. The line has a fosse twenty
feet deep, and there are fourteen detach
ed forts as outworkt. An army besieging
Paris would require a line thirty miles in
length. These defenses are the work of
years, Louis Napoleon having expended
100.000,000 upon them alone.

TaE Orleans Princes. The pres
ent troubles in France may result in a
change of rulers over that nation, and the
public are naturally anxious to know
something of the talked of new dynasty,
the house of Orleans. There are four
Princes of this house, eons of Louis
Philippe. The Duke of Nemours is 56
years old ; under Louis Philippe he held
several important military commands,
especially in the campaigns against Abd-el-Kader.
He was chosen King of the
Belgians in 1838, and was proposed for
King of Greece, but his father would
not permit him to accept either dignity.
He is the father of the Count d'Eu, the
son-in-law and General of the Emperor
of BraaiL The Prince de Joinville is 52
years old, in his father's time a naval
commander of repute. Tho Duke of
Aumslee is aged 42 ; he served in Alge
ria under Bureaud and Baraguey d'Hil
liers, ros8 to be a Marshal of Franoe, and
received Abd el-Kader's surrender. The
Duke of Montpensier, candidate for the
throne of Spain, is the youngest of these
' princes. Since 1848, ail the family,
except the last named, have lived in old
'. England, says the NOT. Tribune.

A word for Klickitat.
Dalles, Aug. 23, 1870.
Editor. 'Register: My design in
writing at present is to give such inform
ation respecting the Klickitat valley as
may bo beneficial to those desiring homes
cast of the mountains.
Klickitat county is in Washington Ter
ritory, on the Columbia river, opposite
Wasco county, Oregon. The Columbia
river forms the boundary line from the
mouth of White Salmon to the junction
of the Yakama with the Columbia. Its
northern boundary follows tha Simcoe
mountains to the .Yakama river, thence
down the Yakama to its mouth. It con
tains au area of nearly 4,000 square miles,
but a small proportion of which is sus-
ccptablo of cultivation. The larger part
of the available lands aie either occupied
cr claimed, though in Klickitat valley
proper there are still many valuable land
claims to be secured by pre-emption or
under tho homestead act. These tracts
of land, in Klickitat valley, arc distant
from timber about twelve miles. They
are superior stock ranches, growing ex
cellent grass, and will, if properly farmed,
yield excellent wheat, barley, oats and
hay.
It has been reported that this valley
would not grow grain and vegetables, but
eucn is not tne cose, l nave been out
through the valley and on the farms, and
1 have not seen, even in "Webfoot," the
celebrated wheat country, bet er oats,
wheat or barley than here. Mr. Burgen
will realize about 1,000 bushels of grain
from his farm the present harvest, and
others are realizing equally us well. Iu
other portions of ttie county, on tho river
especially, very fine fruits are cultivated
with great success. Peaches, grapes,
plums, sweet potatoes, all kinds of small
fruits, melons and vegetables are equal to
those raised anywhere on the North Pa
cific coast. - .
These facts, in connection with the ex
tensive and inexhaustable stock range,
would make a home here desirable. How
ever, there are some unpleasant things to
bo taken into consideration, such as tho
scarcity of timber, the high cold winds
in the Spring, and other inconveuiencies
connected with new countries. There are
iu the valley about twenty-two families;
two district schools, and a good state of
society. I am confident in saying that a
better state of society cannot be found.
The Methodists have a good membership
and regular preaching. .There area num
ber of families coming in yet this fall.
There are two saw-mills in the valley, md
a grist mill is soon to be erected on Klick
itat creek.
I spent about three days in and around
Dalles City. All I can say of the city is
that it wears tho 'habiliments of dis
tress." Empty stores, half lioished.dwell
ings, silent shops and factories, with mer
chants, shopkeepers and hotel runners
lounging outside on the sidewalks tell but
too plainly that "her glory hath de
parted." r t am of the opioion that Albany in
about the nictst town, and gives as great
promise of future thrift and prosperity as
any town in the State except two. Let
no one be in haste to sell lots or town
property, for a few years hence and your
city will attract great attention, and will
be a centre of prosperity.
The campmeeting near the Dalles con
tinued two weeks, with good success. I
was there only three days. My regards to
all inquiring friends.
H. C. JENKINS.
Vancouver, W. T., Aug. 24:
I have been looking over this city a
most beautiful site for a city. The town
extends back from the river (Columbia)
about one mile. There is only one busi
ness street, and precious little bu?ine-s
on that just now. I must confess myself
disappointed in the business aspect of the
place. Conference is now in session
will probably close on Sunday.
Two of our preachers, with dogs and
guns, went out yesterday, and captured a
black bear. Rev. Mr. Turner fired the
shot that brought young bruin down.
Hoping to greet you again, with other
dear friends in Albany, I bid you fare
well. H. C. J.
who may be near that locality. And
without assuming it to be any hotter at
the upper boda than at other points
along the road similarly situated,, still 1
can say with a degree of truthfulness,
that on the day I was there, I saw tho
Captain cooking kettle full of potatoes (I
suppose they were cooking, I saw them
out in the sun) without aid of fire or
wood. A bath house for the convenience
of those desiring to bathe iu soda water
has been erected by Capt White, and in
ingenious simplicity is a perfect model;
all you have to do when you want to
bathe, is to wait until water enough runs
out of the spring to fill a good sized
trough, into which it runs, carry it up
to tho top of the building, (about ten feet
high) pour into another trough, and rush
down the ladder, get into another trough
inside, pull out the plug and 'let her rip ;'
as the soda water loses its strength by a
few minutes exposure to the air, I should
suppose a bath in the Santiam would be
equally as beneficial, and a fellow would
have more room to wallow around in ;
still there is nothing like soda water to
bathe in, and a gullible chap who had
tried it said he felt as if he had taken a
decoction of ' angle worm oil and axle
grease, he was so kind a limber like just
after ho came out.
I am told by old residents of tho coun
try who have lived more or less duriug
their whole lives in the mountains, and
ho are as familiar with the country
thTough which the wagon road passee as
you ere with the streets of your city, and
who knows every canyon, gulch, creek
and mountain for many juiles, that the
sight of the burning timber when the
creat fire was raging which burned over
hundreds of square miles wa3 indeed aw
fully grand and impressive. The atmos
rjherc was filled for a number of miles
adjoining the immediate locality of the
burniug with a hot, stifling smoke which
completely obscured the sun for a num
ber of days. Hundreds of deer, Bear,
Elk and game of other kinds perished
in the flames unable to escape the de
vouring element. The Santiam river was
! so nearly dried up that :t ceased tor a
time to flow as a running stream, and cx
1 isted only in places as pools of nearly hot
water. Fish were found afterward along
j the shores almost by the bushel, their
i destruction haviug been caused by the
mtense heat, and suffocation by smoke set
tlina: in a dense mass over the stream;
instances were known of great fissures in
the earth from one to 5 or 0 feet wide,
caused also by heat, and generally run
ning parallel with the river, thought not
always, and apparently very deep. I give
it to you as told to me, and you can be
lieve it or not as you like, though my
informant was a reliable and truthful man
as I believe.

Browjcsville, Aug. 31, 1870
We have to chronicle a change of base
as regards the weather, and in lieu of
linen dusters, wear woolen clothing to
keep comfortable, and have a good fire
in the evening to keep our Sogers and
toes from freezing. I am of the opinion
that the readers of the Register will be
well . posted as to the many attractions
to be. found on tho Jine of ,the Willam
ette Valley and Cascade Mountain Wag
on road, and it-is a little singular that so
many literary cusses like myself should
travel over that thoroughfare, and be
willing to bore the public with a rehash
of what was eeen and heard during a
"sojourn" in the mountains. I promise
however, to keep "mum" hereafter, and
if anyone wants to know about Fish Lake
tell them to wait until the first man goes
up there, and an "effusion" will soon
make its appearance in doses to suit the
most fastidious, anti charm every ; one
but the printer who Jxas the communica
tion to "set up." 'i
At the Upper Soda we were informed
that grass cotjld be obtained at what is
known as Summit Prairie, which ! was
distant some 12 miles. Capt. White, an
agreeable old gentleman, has taken up the
ranch on which the Upper Soda is loca
ted and spends his entire time, summer
and winter there. He intends to, make
that his home, so he says, and improve
the place. What the chief attractions of
the Upper Soda are, I am unable to say,
and it is certainly the hottest locality I .
ever was in in my life. There is no nhade
of any kind afforded in the vicinity,, and
the sun seems to concentrate his entire
foree in poruing out his powerful rays up
on the head of any unoffending person
further down the creek, but tbo stream
has now diminished to a shadow of its
former size, and rushes down over the
rocks in rather an unpretending manner,
and presents a perfect paradise to a lover
of fishing. How I did want to stop and
throw a hook in. just to see how uicely I
could haul out a trout which I was sure
vjoulil take hold at the first opportunity,
but we must make Summit Prairie to
night or the horses go hungry for want
of their suppers. Horse flies are more
abundant here thau at any point yet pass
ed, and every time one bites a horse he
makes it count, and worries a horse dread
fully; it was impossible to keep them off
even while traeling, and a swarm was
continually following us. I noticed more
of a variety of timber along the bottom
up here, aud I saw some very large ma
ple trees, which was quite a relief from
the everlasting firs. After leaving the
Santiam on the right the road in a short
distance takes its course up the mountain
for a long stretch of seveu miles, aud it
seems as if one will never get to the top.
Upon this mountain, the heaviest grade
on the road, a great deal of labor has been
expended and it is at this season in a
splendid condition. Indeed it is the best
section of the whole road, and pleasant
traveling being in the heavy green tim
ber, and consequently a good shade is af
forded. You occasionally cross a ravine
or gulley, running down the side of the
mountain through which water almost as
cold as ice runs and flows into the San
tiam. Good substantial bridges have
been erected over . most of them, and the
grade is gradual. About one .mile this
side of the summit iu an open spot you
first see the bald mountain, apparently
directly in front of you, and "iron moun
tain" to tho left, a high rocky promon
tory towering above the heads of its
neighbors, a little on one side of which
stands a rock resembling somewhat
"chimney rock" cn tho Platte, although
not so tall as chimney rock, and of a dif
ferent color. A red streak can be seen
running around the main mountain which
is supposed to be iron ore, consequently
its name, iron mountain.
