Camp Polk, Julys, 1876.
As a line from tha wayfaring man some
times keeps tbe (printer's) devil at a tem
porary distance for a short time, we en
close a line for the Register.
We left Albany ou the 28th of June des
tined for Ochoco, with Mr. J. Aorcross,
and after two days spent In branding
cattle, etc at Peterson's Butte, we wound
our way up the Santiam, ovf dusty roads
and bot weather, In the rear of three hun
dred head of horned cattle. We were
truly surprised to see the country looking
so prosperous such fine looklnjr fields of
grain, aud meadows, especially gardens.
which were so far in, advance of what they
were at the same date last season, that one
would almost stop to consider whether or
not nature is arranged on tlie principal ot a
reversion life policy, or turned a new leal
in her history to conceal tbe something of
the past.
Ou reaching the toll-gate we find the
travel, this year greatly exceeds that of last,
as there has already passed of stock about
two thousand horned cattle and as many
sheep, and numbers of small bands . of
horses. From this point on to the Moun
tain House the traveler finds no inconven
ience in ohtntnig horse feed and lodging, a.g'
the income of the settler depends largely
on this Tesource, and with common con
sent they all seem to be prepared for the
occasion.
The mountain part of the road does not
seem to have Deen oostroctea by lailen
timber and earth slides a3 much as in years
gone by. notwitiistanuing the unusually
long stormy whiter just passed. Some
patches of snow, aud mud-boles, still exist;
however, much credit Is due to Mr.
Hogg's agents, for energy and promptness
hi removing obstructions and keeping the
way in as good condition as possible.
The evening of July 3d found us in camp
at Fish Lake, and the mountain-side on
the east, overlooking the lake on the west,
was dotted over promiscuously with tents
and wagns of divers kind?, according to
the owners tastes or elrcnmstances of the
occupants. Some of the parties were trayel-
Ing one direction aud some another, and
many seeking pleasure and recreation of
both sexes and all ages, from the old men
to the small children. The evening was
Ciilm and clear;" the moon shone brightly
orrr the onivering lake ; the cheerful song,
the stories and anecdotes, games sue)' .fre
quent boisterous laughter," whiled" away thj
iiottrs or night till late, ana many were
retiring to rest the last centennial night.
when suddenly a rushing, thundering
tornado-like sound, that almost seemed to
shake tlte mountains, made every ont
begin to look lor a place of safety. A
large drove of cattle In a corral near at
. had had taken a scare from tbe approach
likely of some wild animal, and were on a
regttktr stampede aound the euclosure,
over logs, brush and rock, and, seemingly.
every conceivable thing in the mountains
that would add to the terrifying confusion.
However, it lasted but a few minutes, and
by the timely presence of some of the
drovers in charge, all was soon quiet as
before, and a general preparation for sleep
was In order. With a few entertaining
stories ot cattle stampedes, from a drover
of much experience and superior ability
and understanding in the profession, whose
whole sensibilities, whether sleeping or
waking, were ever alive to notice the move
ments ot horned cattle, our friend arranged
his blankets near one of those mammoth
trees common in the mountains where, for
safety, had been deposited our camp equip
age, saying the stock would stampede every
half hour during the night, and a big tree
was a big thing In such extremes. Very
soon all was quiet and many asleep, ; but,
true to the prediction ot our drover, the
cattle scare was repeated, the same terrific
noise and frightened populace, but as be
fore, was soon over, and all was still bnt
one. who continued quieting, "Who-ah,
A-ho-ah, wlio-ab," coming directly from
the large tree. , Every one looked' and sure
enough tbe hero of the night, who ITaigbt-
led) to be ran over by scared cattle had,
with one bound reached the large tree.
with outstretched arras, hands holding on to
the heavy bark of the tree, legs astride, one
foot planted on & sack of flour and the
other In a frying-pan which contained the
remnants of our evening meal offish, the
inevitable hickory, his only garment, the
pattern of which had been cruelly abridged,
ont from under the - edges of wagon
1 be re were . too . many , eyes , peering
covers and tents, and from behind trees
and other hiding places, for the stillness.
An outburst of laughter that made , the
mountains echo and the lake qniver to its
very shores, broke the spell, an the som
nambulist awoke , to find himself the ob
served of all observers, wboretiied with
out even his bow to the audience. ' Brief
speeches and comments with simultaneous
roars of laughter were idulged . In again
and again, till we think the most courage
ous wild beast would .have dreaded to
again disturb the camp." Thus was closed
out at Fish Lake the last hour ot the great
American Cenutenlal year. Twilight hi
the east soon announced the approach of
day. A few reports from Henry rifles,
a hasty break fasti and the roar ot cattle
whips, and the people dispersed, . every
man his way, and with thankful re me in
b ranee of the events of tbe past hundred
years, we pass on to -
CAMP FOLK, . , . .
.where little remains to be seen ot the
military g'ory and labors: of Captain
Lofollet and tils men. A number of large
fallen pines and a part of about two mdd
cabins built higher and used for barn pur-1
poses oy me present occupant, tr. n niu- 1
man, is about all that is left to distinguish
it. Everything In the surroundings shows I
thrift In husbandry. Here can - be seen
one of tbe fiuest gardens In our travels, the
gardens of the Willamette not accepted.

brick, belonging to Jas. II. Foster, was dis
covered to be on Ore. Tbe alarm was
given and the fire department promptly
turned out, but ' the Chief aud other citl-
sens succeeded in extinguishing the fire
with a few buckets of water. The fire,
from all appearances, was the'Worlt" of an
incendiary. Paper apparently soaked with
coal oil, had been placed in the back room
under a couple ot bundles of shingles, and
nrobablv a slow match applied, with the
intention to ignite in the dead of night.
Providentially the affair was not well
managed, otherwise the three wooden
tenements between the ' two bricl3 A.
Carothers & Co. on tho west, and Fox
Bros, on tbe easi would have "gone up."
This fire is not the first frnits ot incendiar
ism in this city, and although parties have
been "suspected," no arrests nave ever
been made. Isn't it high time that our city
authorities took some action In fl:e matter,
looking to the apprehension and punish
ment of the guilty parties ? Tlie Council
might at least offer a reward sufficient to
induce a good detective to look into the
matter.

Friend Coll : I am not dead yet, !-
though the thermometer has been ranging:
from 90 to 106 in tbe shade lor several
dars past. We" have been VtsItYhif tbd
Centennial exhibition every day tor more
than a week. Yesterday I noticed a new
feature in the Oregon Department a small
box of nice, large Royal Ann cherries, tbatT,
had been raised by Mr. A. Sumerrlller of
Harrlsburg. and sent by Mr. G. .W. Brim-'
den berg. They were fourteen days on tlie .
way; still they were In a good state of
preservation, and attracted considerable
attention for so small a showing. It is
hoped that our Linn county and Oregon
farmers will see that we are well represented"
this tall ln.the Hue of fruits of all' Kinds.'
Yours, - G. W. Gkat.'
Roegh ok Stroud. Tbe Oreronan re-"
ports tbe railroad accident et Drain's sta
tion, on Wednesday' ot last week, as more
serious than at first supposed. Mrs. Phlll-'
brook had her shoulder blade broken arid a'
utile son of Mart Taylor had the bone 61
no arm fractured.. The train.' thrown'
from tbe track by tlie breaking ot an axle
ot the tender, was pretty badly wrecked.'
Baggage master uonser was considerably
bruised up, but Conductor'Stroad, It now
seems probable will turn out' tlie worst'
injured man on tbe train.. The car on
which he was standing at tlie time, was
thrown down an embankment and' turned
bottom up, and Stroud was extracted from'
his position with difficulty. His injuries
appear to be internal, as shortly sftcr, the
accident he threw np a quantity of blood.
It was thought that three offals ribs' were
broken. He was conveyed to ComstockV.
where he lay until the first of the .week,
when Vice President Kohler went alter
him In the President's car, intending to
convey him to Portland." $
Gokb. Prof. Warren left us yesterday'
for Astoria, where be will spend a . ftw
weeks recreating, , when, he will return to
Portland where he will take op his resi
dence, having accepted a situation In one
of the schools there. Prof. Warren baa no"
superior on this coast' as ail educator, and'
by his removal we liave lost a man whoso '
place cannot be easily filled.' His many ,
friends in this city wish faira the best ot
success in bis new home. " "J V
