Discussion Subject : '"The best meth od of leaching the elementary sounds of the letters ot the English language," introduc ed by Prof. J.M. Gilbert. All are invited. SOMETHING ABOUT STEAM FlKE ENGINES. Some time in August, we believe, the committee appointed by Liim Fire Engine Company, Xo.2, to inquire into the merits ot the different steam fire engines manufact ured and tor sale in the United States, of which Dr. G. W. Gray was chairman, in pursuance of the duty thin placed upon them, opened utv correspondence with the Cliief Engineers ol the fire departments of several of the larger Eastern cities, as well as those of the Paci tic Slope. From the mass of testimony thus, obtained, the committee became satisfied that the Clapp & Jones steam fire engine possessed, great er points of excellence than" any other. Of course we hav'nt th time or space in these columns to give even an extract troru tlie different letters received in answer to the inquiries of the committee, but we Ivave selected from the mass of evidence a letter front W. F. Moses, President of Woodland Fire Department, in winch is inclosed an other from Chas. Ciiimnings and Frank MeXair, the latter Chief Engineer of the Virginia Xeracl;r Fire Deartmeiit. We select these because they are nearer home, and the engine meeting the requirements of the fire departments ot California and Nevada, giving the fullest satisfaction in every respect. Will mo-t certainly meet the j requirements and expectations here. Fol lowing are the letters alluded to : Woodland. Nov. 12. 1S75. 4h. Geo. W. Gray, I'hksident, Ac Itfir Sir; Oct. 2d Iw'Ja letter from you about the Clapp & -Tones steam tire engine that we had. purchased. I wrote you in answer that we had not as yet pm-i-hased such machine, but contemplated loing so. Since then, after a thorough examination, we have become, satisfied with the Clapp & Jones machine, and have reirehased a second class "engine ' of that mike. Enclosed please fiii'l letter from ! Chas. Cinuiiiiiigs, of Virginia. Nevada, to : me. in answer to a letter I wrote him. i Yon can read it. and use it if necessary, and return it to me when you get through with it. Their engine is the same size ours is to lie, and there is one of the same size at San .rose, California. They like her very much there. Please let me know if .you purchase, and what kind. 1 remain truly yours, W. F. Moss, Prest. Fire Dept. Following the letter. spoken of by Mr. Moss, and inclosed in his letter to Dr. Gray: VinoixiA. Xev., 'April 24. 1375. W. F. Moss." Es'j. 7X5 ir .STi'T I am in receipt ot yours of the 21st Inst., requesting ine to give! you rav opinion of Monument al, No. 6. steam fire, engine of this city. I comply with your request with pleasure, specially as I can truthfully commend her as being in every respect n very superior steam lire engine, better I think, than ei ther of the other four in the Gold Llill and Virginia Fire Department. We have here in Gold llill and Virginia five steamers, of different makes. Gold Hill has a Jeffreys. Of the four in Virginia, one is by the Sds by Manufacturing Co. (rotary), one by the Amoskcag Manufacturing Co., one by But ton, and the one you refer to is by the Clapp & Jones manufacturing Co.. of Hud son, N. Y. Yon will see that we have a verv good opportunity of comparing the merits of engines built by the most promi nent builders of strain fire engines in the United States. The principal -points of excellence in the Clapp & Jones engine are : First, the boiler is a very rapid gen erator of steam, making Pteam faster than any boiler I know ot (and I have had con siderable ex j?rience with steam boilers). Second. Simplicity ol construction ot en gines and pumps every part of them being tasily got a" for cleaning. packing, repair-,, ing, &c. Thiid, The superior-material workmanship and finish found in this en gine. Foirrili. Great capacity as compared to weight of engine. In fact, as an effect ive aud serviceable steam fire enguw. I think the Clapp Jones the best. For fan cy playing No. 6s hoys say they are reariy to put. up coin that they can get away with any steam fire engine now on the I a'n'j coast. No. 6 has frequently thrown a 14. inch steam, through 100 feet ot hose, over 300 feet; and 011 one occasion (which 1 witnessed, and measured wuua i-'i 315 feet, through H0 feet of hose and a inch nozzle. - - " KesL-ictifuly Yours, ' CIIAS.

Shenandoah, Page Co., Iowa. After a great rumbling over the Nichol son pavement 1 heard the cry, "all aboard for Chicago aud the East," and carpet-bag in hand seated nijself in a comfortable ve hicle and was soon whirled to the Oakland ferry. Here confusion reigned, and lor a while I thought I had better employ a guide", but recollecting that there was but one way to go I contented myself by, fol lowing the crowd, and was soon 011 board the ferry steaming over to Oakland. As our mind reverts back twenty-five years ago, and calls up the picture then, I was lost tn wonder and amazement at what I see spread out before me nmt. Here with in a radius of a few mile3 are four cities, the smallest lieing as large as Albany, while the largest has 175,000 Inhabitants, representatives from almost every land the sun shines upon. In 1S47 five hundred peo ple could hardly have been found within as many miles. Landed at Oakland, We are soon seated in elegant coaches, drawn by tlie iron horse, instead of wagons drawn by mules or bulls", as in the olden days, and in a moment are fairly flying through one of the prettiest countries on the Pacific coast, as densely settled almost as a town all along the road for the first two hours' ride, then becoming gradually thinner and more. scattered until wp reach the moun-. tains Sierra Nevada range.

As we continue our journey we find the Company have erected no less than forty miles of snow-sheds in these mountain fastnesses, j to enable their trains to bid defiance to the terrible storms that rage here during the winter. Being worn out and tired with long sit ting, we eventually suecumb to sleep, iia t lire's sweet restorer, and thus passed our first night riding on the mil.

This days journey was of considerable interest, as trom the coach window I could see Castle liock. Hanging Rock, and a number of other wonders of nature. riuee days and two nights passed and still far os the vision extends stretch out vast sage plains and worthless soil. I will say here that I wonder now how the poor emigrant ever got over these plains alive at tlie paee they were eoni'ielled to travel before this magnificent railway was built. Now there are stations every eight or t welve miles, so that there is less danger in mak ing the trip. But. it would take a book to describe fully all I saw, therefore I shall not attempt it.

Iain now in Iowa, and it is no colder than it was in 'Frisco when I left. The un shining and no frost, surprises ine greatly.

It would take me six months to see half 1 ot my relatives, but I have neei having a good time greeting those I have not seen for years. '' Corn is 20c a bushel notwithstanding the loss by grasshoppers, etc. AVhe.it is 45c per bushel in greenbacks. What do our people think now of getting 85c in coin per bushel for their wheat, while here farmers get only about half .as much and thst- in paper money? Yet the farmers ot Iowa, this part of the State at least, are getting rich even ac what we consider such low prices for grain. Land is worth from $30 to $45 per acre fine rolling prairie 'land, but the bottoms a black, sticky soil, remind, tug Oregonians of the Umpqua valley. But the hill land is cultivated here instead of the vii I lev or bottom lauds. : This town is five years old, and has a population of 800. There are fully as many people on the streets each day as in Albany. Business is brisk and everybody' -.-stirring. The trip -'the plains acrojss" Is a much more rapid an comfortable affair now to what it was in 1350 when I toiled over the mountains and through the alkali deserts, reipiiring six months of toilsome travel to accomplish. AH these discomforts and dangers are now avoided, and the entire journey is made, by tlie aid of the iron horse, in live days and four nights a great change indeed, traveling two thousan miles in one hundred hours. Yet even the trill as now made is tiresome aud I must Bay very lonesome. I don't propose to disparage Oregon, for it is my country yet : but the East has always enjoyed an advantage over m In the way of money-making. All my relatives have got rich, as well as everybody else in Iowa, apparently. ' But roy paper is full, so I bid vou farewell for the present. A. B 31.
