U. W. Atwell, w ho. as special cor respondent of I lie Sacrainenlo Iieoml from the lava beds during the past spring and slimmer, has had abundant opiwrttuiity for observation, furnishes that paper with the following informa tion on the above subject Now that the Indians have been removed from Southern Oregon, and all danger real ur fancied from them has passed, a tine Held for stock grow ers litis opened to the public In the sparsely settled county of .lackson. which "comprises near one-tenth of the entire State. From this, Klamath Reservation must lie taken, which covers an immense body of tiie best grazing lands in i lie county, but still a very large area is unclaimed and unoccupied. The valley of Lost river is yet but sparsely settled, and on the banks of Lost, river scarcely a location has been made. It is true that some have driven Mock in there and made claims, but there is still a vast extent left lor those who wish to secure good stock farms. In Oregon a man can secure by pre-emption or otherwise 100 acres, the remainder necessary to to secure water rights and so on, he must purchase Irani actual settlers, die cannot locate and hold a cotmtv, as in California, The wisdom of this law is evident, for it gives oor people a chance to get a start in life. For a stock much a man wants to locate 160 acres on some water course, where he has eoinnion rights with other stock men. The mountains, which furnish a biuidaut growths of bunch grass, are common property unless, perhaps 100 acres is located here and there to secure the right to springs. Hundreds of thousands of acres of the best range in the world is at present unoccupied and unclaimed in .latk-on county. Innu merable small lakes, streams and large springs render it the liert watered portion of the coast. The bottom lauds along the streams and the margin of the lakes afford excellent meadow land, wliere ample crops of natural hay can be cut annually. The winters tire not severe, the stockmen rarely feeding their herds, though with the abundance of hay that could be easily secured, it would be to their advantage to do so. in many instances. The snow which falls is dry, and does not adhere to the cattle, but rolls off their hides like grains of corn. It rarely remains on the hillsides, being blown in drifts in the gulches and little valleys. The dry bunch grass answers the purpose of winter forage, and in most cases it is lietfer than the hay cut in the valleys. It has been de monstrated that timothy and white clover arrive tit perfection when sown in the valleys, yielding unusually large returns. It has long been supposed that this region was oarrcn, too cold to render stock growing profitable.- THs is a great mistake. The winters though severe have not the effect on I stock that the California winters have. TImj cold rains of our winters, which j play such sad havoc with poor stock, i are unknown there. It is snow not I rui.i thuatockmen must guard against, j Besides, the feed is more nutritious, i the annual yield far greater. Unless a stock man overfeeds his range he has little or no trouble in wiuteiing his herd. If his cattle are fat and healthy in (he fall lie will find no trouble during the average winter. Stacks of hay stand tram one year's' end to another, often through several winters, before a season occurs severe j enough to require the stockman to feed tilts poorer and weaker of his herds for a few days never longer than a couple of weeks during the prevalence of an uncommon spell of cold, bad weather. Lying on the western and eastern slopes of the i Cascade range, and on the southern slope of the Umpuua mountains, are some oi the mosuieiigiiitul as well as tint best locations for stock to be found on the coast. Healthy, as mountain localities ever are, possessed of an abundance of timber for wood and fencing, with an equable climate, this iai t of Oregon otters rare inducements to the settler who wislics to follow the occupation of slock growing. The streams and lakes abound with fish of the finest quality, the hills with an endless variety of game. And here is room for all the starving untie on the southern coast of California, room that will mini re limnv vears to fill. Taxes In Oregon are low, the laws ample to : protect and generous in providing lor the settler, f know of no place more inviting, none which possesses so many inducements to the stock growers, as Jackson ami Oram count ies( Oregon. The land office i at Llukvlllc, Jackson ALBANY, OREGON. NOVEMBER county, and a perusal of the records there enabled me to learn the facts regarding land entries in these coun ties, and the fact that much more re mains for the settler than has been taken, and I can assure the public that the locations to be had for the settling are equal to those already set tled, save that they are further from market. To Train a Driving Horse. In teaching a young horse to drive well, do not hurry to see bow fast lie can trot. Keep each pace clear and destlnct from the other; that is. In walking, make him walk and do not allow him to trot.. While trotting, lie equally careful that lie keeps steady at his pace, and do not allow him to slacken into a walk : the reins, while driving, should be kept snug, and when pushed to the top rf his speed, keep him well in band, that he may learn to bear upon the bit so that when going at a high rate of speed he can be held at his pace ; but do not allow him to pull too hard, for it is not only unpleasant buf it makes him difficult to manage.

A'. Y. Times, Oct, Hth. The editor of the Booucsboro, Iowa, Democrat attended a grunge plc-nlo the other day with several oatstraws behind his ear in the place of a pencil, and his blue bifurcations beautifully ornamented with burrs. The farmers looked him over wremlly. declined his proffered copies of the Deiiiocrut, smiled blandly, and passed by. A Western paper says that the first duty of the Grangers is to extinguish every operator who begins his speech with "l have not the good fortune to be a farmer; but 1 have always felt the most profound interest in the truly noble and predominent pursuit of ag riculture, and never was that interest greater than now." As the trial of Marshal Ilazaine pro gresses, it becomes evident that the accused will be proved and adjudged guilty and condemned to death. The. only alternative left is the acceptance by the Court of tlie theory of utter In capacity for the position in the army which lie held.

To those who propose to plant trees, whether fruit or ornamental, this sea son, we would say plant early. None but those who have observed the differ ence in i he growth of trees planted the same season, some early in the foil and others late in the spring, can realize what that difference really is. This difference is not confined to the follow ing season, but extends through a Series of years. In this country the dormant state of vegetation, especially trees, is very short. The leaves have fallen from deciduous trees In the fall but a very short time before the sap begins to move again and the buds to swell preparatory to throwing out foliage the coming spring. Wo all know thai transplanting a tree at any time and under the most favorable circumstances checks the growth of the tree more or less. The object of trans planting trees at till is to secure a tree in the place to which it is transplanted, that shall continue to grow as rapidly al possible. This object can only lie accomplished by handling the tree in such a manlier as to check its growth as little as possible. It a tree be dug and transplanted in the fall, any wounds on the roots will heal dining the winter, the ground around the roots will become packed find firm, aid when spring opens, the tree is all ready to grow almost as well and rap idly as if it had not been disturbed ; but it transplanted late in winter or spring, the sap starts before the wounds are healed, and it flows out at them, and thus the tree is deprived of a cir culating fluid just as necessary to the lite and health ot the tree as blood to the human body. The sot) around the roots does not become compact, but remains open and full of air. and the result is that if the tree does not abso lutely die, it becomes stunted and will not recover for a number of years, if at all. It is therefore better, if you cannot transplant trees early hi the season, in most cases to let the planting go until the next season. Xo More I'.iHNCa. Tlie liuUtitin of Thursday says that at a meeting of the Directors of the Oregon and California Railroad Com pany yesterday tlie following resolu tion wtis adopted : Itmtked, That, from anil tifter this date, no passes for free travel over the Oregon and California Railroad shall be issued to any person whatever, ex cept to officers, agents and employes of the company. Meetings of the Directors of the Ore gon Central Railroad Company and tlie Oregon Stcarrwhlp Company were a is,, held, and similar resolutions adopted with respect to tlie pass sy- tem. The Michigan Constitutional Con vention, which has just concluded a protracted session, recommends, among a number of other less :mpor tant changes in the Constitution of the State, two which are of peculiar interest. One of these Is to empower the Legislature to establish maximum rates of fare and freight on railroads, to regulate the speed of trains, pro hibit "discrimination, and. in short, to practically control the management of railroads in Michigan for the good of the peop'e. The secoi.d inpoitaut change is to permit the composition of juries of less (ban twelve members. It seems, hi view of existing circum stances, that both proposition are good. The railroads should certainly be controlled, and everybody knows how hard it is toget as many as twelve complete idiots together for ti jury on an important trial. The process re quired the sifting of hundreds of cit izens in the Stokes ease, and would no doubt be attended with as great difficulties, under similar circum stances, in Michigan as in New York. The Governor of Illinois has been aroused to the necessity of tit once putting a stop to the incursions ol roughs and gamblers from St. Louis with the design of breaking the law by indulging in tlie brutal contests of, the prize-ring. Allen and McCoole."' the principals in tlie late fight, are to be brought from Missouri on a re quisition, and tried.. It is probable that they will be convicted anil sent to do some useful work in the Peniten tiary. It is to be hoped that Governor Beveridge will not relax his real Jn. this regard until he has filled the St. Louis roughs with a wholesome tear of Illinois law. Weather cloudy and cool.
