Or., Sept. 15, IS' 571. Iklitor Democrat: . As I receive numerous letters inquir ing about the country and its resources, will you permit me to reply through the columns of your paper ? Ochoco is a stock country, adapted to raisins stock of all kinds, with the ex ception of sheep (they do not do well here). Farmers movinir here should hear this in mind, and not come ex pecting to find a good farming country. Tljoujrh we have some good land as good as any in Oregon yet it Is in small bodies, lying along the creek bottoms, in small Tallies averaging from one hundred yards to tbree-,uar-ters of a mile wide, and ten to thirty long. These Tallies are generally sep arated from each other by low ranges of hills, covered with buncn grass. The settlements are situated on Trout, Utile Willow and Big Willow Creeks, Ochoco and Crooked River Tallies, Beaver Creek, Pauline Bottom and Up per Crooked River. Ochoco is all ta ken up, but on all the others good claims can yet be taken. Our citizens are now considerably excited over a large valley just discov ered by a party of men who went out prospecting from here. They report! that they found a large valley, some sixty miles south of here, "the largest and finest of any yet discovered." It is about sixty miles long and from ten tq thirty wide, and covered wiih heavy rye grass. The soil is loose and, black and pronounced by them to be as rich as any in the world. The climate is thought to be considerably warmer than Ochoco. Our nights are too cold to allow ns to raise only the hardiest vegetables, but our party thought that there settlers could raise anything, melons, beans, potatoes, etc. This new valley is surrounded by low, rolling hills and covered with rank bunch grass, and all well watered some thing that cannot be said of every place east of the Cascades. This valley fs called "New Texas" or "Shore's Val- s ley." As to society, we have the best in Or egon nearly all the settlers are Dem ocrats. No Doctors, Lawyers, Niggers or Chinamen have yet settled here, and verr few Union men. Our clunale is very liealthy ; no sick ness to Jsfuount to anything. As to the historic item : Mrs. Wni. Marks was the first white woman that moved here. Mrs. G. Judy gave birth to the first white chUd. Wm. Foster and Jane Marks were the first couple married. , The first death was Rube StratofF, who died last winter, of con sumption. The first drunk was Bro. Pickett, formerly of tlie Atbanv Jour nal. The first store was kept at Bum- merville, and the first city of any im portance was the aforesaid Bummer- ville. Settlers moving in here had better secure lots in that city, as a man's importance is reckoned by the number of city lots he owns. If he lives in Bum merville be must have a "race hoss." must chew a mixture called "backer," made of willow bark, age leaves and a small amount of to bacco, and, as' the cap-sheaf of perfec tion, he must own a deck of "keerds" and be an Abolitionist. AIL or nearly all, of the blacks that have come out here have settled at Bummerville. We are laboring under a great disad vantage in regard to our mail facilities. All the mail we get is brought from the Dalles by travelers who are coming from there, and we often go for months without ft particle of mail. We hope this will soon be remedied. . Ocnoco. Fbom Eastern Oregon. By a let ter from Weston, Umatilla county, dated October 1st, we get the following information The people are greatly excited about small-pox, as many cases are reported to exist in Walla Walla, and fears are entertained that the terrible scourge will prevail extensively throughout Eastern Oregon. Our correspondent says the country about Weston is very productive. .The soil la of a rich, black character and produces from 30 to 40 bushels of wheat per acre, both on the hills and in ' the creek bottoms. The country is settled aolidly in 160-acre farms, embracing tract from seven to ten miles wide along the base of the Blue Mountains. mi. x m . , - . Muere are oui iew tracts unclaimed in that region. Weston is situated on Pine creek nearwrnere It makes its exit from the mountain gorges It is a flourishing village, for a , two-year old ; contains two store.?, a hotel, a livery stable, two blacksmith shops, with prospects for a harness shop. : Great need is felt for a tinner and a boot-maker. ' Along the foot of the mountains, not more than three miles from town, any amount of timber exists, where three ' steam "saw mills are daily cutting thirty thousand feet oVpme and fir lumber for the Wal la Walla market. "Indeed,' , says our correspondent; Weston has the most abundant resources, the most enter prising men, the prettiest women, and the smartest babies of any village of its proportions in Christendom !" - ur correspondent sends us a small club of new subsribers and promises to enlarge ifc to a handsome list shortly. He has our thanks and good wishes for liia prosperity In his pioneer Eden. xtGAR.-,Messrs. Hiltabidel & Co. have gone Into the vinegar business on a large scale. Thev will best quality of cider vinegar for sale in cjuaiiuues large or tsinau AT Home AaAix. Well,, here we! are at our post again, after many hair breadth 'scapes by flood and field af ter steaming up the broad Columbia andbreostlng the alkali plains of the Walla W&lla-aftcr catching trout from the Tumolum and shooting prai rie hens near the Tizxerum after be ing hurled from the stage-coach ' luto the bowels of the earth and blown from the back of a whittledig into the lofty pines on the mountain-tops af ter escaping the small-pox at Walla Walla only to "catch the d I" . at Sleepy Hollow. In point of fact,, in the pust month we have "seen the ele phant and rode on his proboscis but as, many of our readers have doubtless traveled to "lurrou" parts as well we, and have experienced even more fear. ful and harrowing adventures than even ours, we shall not enter into fur ther description of our journeying around the world, but simply remark that our physical condition is much improved, our exchequer greatly di minished and our moral nature about at a stand-off since we last wielded the editorial quill of the Democrat. And this is why wo rise to explain that things are thus with our moral, physi cal and financial arrangements, and that we are now again ready for all the labyrinthine mazes of the newspaporl- al mill. Small-Pox ix Walla Walla. On the 1st Inst, when we left Walla Wal la, there were ten cases of small-pox In that city and three deaths had oc curred already. The sudden develop ment of the epidemic to such an alarming extent of course caused much excitement, and people were fleeing from the city in every direction Many families packed up their "dun- age" and fled to the mountains and trout streams of that vicinity, while others took advantage of the lethargy in business to visit vtcoioot ana our State Fair ; but by far the greater por tion of the people acted with better judgment and more discretion and re maiued at home to assist the stricken ones and to confine the terrible scourge within their own limit a. blnce our arrival home we learn that most of the cases have recovered and that the epl demic shows visible signs of abating- Uiere being only five or six cases re ported, and they being mostly of the incipient or varioloid type, and confin ed to some three families. The utmost precaution was being taken by the city authorities to prevent its spread, and we do not apprehend any danger of an extensive epidemic. The Metkopolis Hotel is the name of the new house opened last week in Portland by Messrs. Packard & Sprenger, the advert isement of which maybe found In our columns. lie had the pleasure of Wing the guest of the Metropolis last week, and unhesi tatingly pronounce it fully equal to any hotel In that city, and much supe rior to the others in some respects. The furniture, upholstery and carpet are of the most modern and luxurious or der, while the apartments and ap pointments are of the moat convenient character. The house contains about seventy-five room.", besides the bath rooms, dining rooms, offices, actc., all furnished with water, gas, and other conveniences incident to a cosmopoli tan first-class hotel. The kitchen is a distinguishing feature of this bouse, as its appointments are such as few hotels can boast The ever obliging and aftk ble Jake Sprenger, with his gentle manly associate, Mr. Packard, will take special pains to render their guests at home. Mrs. Fkost gave her second lecture! against woman suffrage, in this city, last Saturday night Wnile this lady hardly comes up to our ideal of a sue-! cessful lectures, we yet were favorably impressed with her line of argument and believe that she successfully refu ted the positions assumed by the An thony on the suffrage question. She has fully as much eloquence and a bet ter flow of language than Susan, and, having naturally the best of the argu ment, she could not fail to make many telling points against the pernieious doctrines inculcated by that antiqua ted spinster. She was at times rather sarcastic, and at the close of her re marks it was plainly visible that Mrs. D.'and Susan B. were both pretty bad ly Frost-bitten. , She asserted her de sire to meet Miss Anthony in debate, and if her wish is gratified a lively tournament of words may be expected. The Empire. If any of our readers should ever visit The Dalles, and should want to stop at a first class ho tel and be catered to by one of the bsst heartcd, whole-souled, liberal-spirited gentlemen in the world, we would urge tbem to hang up with Mr. Thos. Smith, at the Empire Hotel. So far as our experience goes the Empire is chief among the public houses of East ern Oregon. It has recently been new ly painted and refitted from top to base, and can now furnish the best of accommodations for an unlimited number of guests. Don't forget the Empire. " ' ' : ' At Harper & Co's. P. A Co. have just received Francisco, a magnificent C Harper from San invoice of new goods of every description. Their assortment of ready made clothing cannot be excelled in this market, ei thcr for style, material or manufac ture ; while their dress goods, .woolen fabrics and knit hosiery are complete in every particular. Charley's well Known taste is displayed in tneir se lection, 'which is a sufficient guaranty that they ar all eminently recherche. Call and examine their stock. j Health Seekers. On next Mon day Cyrus Westlake starts with his family overland for Southern Califor nia, in search of a more congenial cli mate for his family. He is one of Linn county's oldest and most respected cit izens and a sterling Democrat of the first water. We wish him and his fam ily a pleasant journey to their destina tion and a return ot health among the orange groves and sweet breezes of the Southern coast. NEW LAW, irm. .Elsewhere may be found tbe professional card of Messrs, Cranor & Humphrey, attorneys-at-law. Mr. Cranor is one of the oldest arid most successful lawyers In this eectiCn of Oregon, and Mr. Humphrey is a ris ing star in the legal profession. Soap. Ti'e have been presented with several varieties of soaps from the Al bany Soap Factory of Cartwright & McCord, and from a limited trial we regard them as equal to toilet soaps of Eastern inauufacture. They are richly colored and highly scented, and will eradicate dirt or assist the tonsorlal ar tist as successfully and readily as any other soaps in tho market. We trust our Oregon dealers will remember the Albany Soap Factory when they want anything in the way of "a dirt eradl- cator. . The Fiqhtito Parson ,t0h It." A personal altercation took placo on the streets of Eugene last week be tween Rev. I. D. Driver and another equally belligerent Individual, In which the "lie direct" and other ugly words were exchauired. The asser tion that the Rev. Driver called his opponent a lineal descendant of a fern lnlne canlue quadruped we believe is erroneous. Each one of the belliger ents Interviewed the City Recorder of Eugene to the amount of a V. Cemetery NOTICE. Read the no tice with the above heading elsewhere. It is important that there should be a meeting of the Trustees of the Albany Cemetery Association, at an early day, as the President of the Board Is going away and another must be elected in his stead In order that lots may be sold and deeds made out when occasion re quires. Remember that every lot own er Is a member of the Association and entitled to a vote next Tuesday at the Court House. Pi pi tax Bitters. Through the cordiality of Mr. O. V. Geraalwk, we have had a sample of these celebrated bitters and find them to be a pleasant and wholesome tonic. Being a strict temperance drink and only used for dyspepsia and indigestion, for which they are sure cure, according to the certificates of the moat celebrated physicians on the coast, they must be come a general drink. Try them. Henry Myer Is agent for Albany. The State Fair attract? a great crowd and there were many brilliant and useful articles of workmanship on exhibition, but we do not remember to have seen anything ao superb and ele gant there as one may find by stepping into Mcaley'a furniture establishment In fhl city. ' For beauty of finish and durability of manufacture, Charley's furniture cannot be excelled, and his upholhtery U universally acknowledged to be the best in the Vally. Hvmf.niau Our friend and fellow citizen, Sam. E. Young, returned to this city las't 11'ednesday with his Eat ern bride, formerly Miss N. Althouse. He tender the newly wedded pair our warmest conirratulatlonn and wih them all the happiness and bliss in the vocabulary Sam. is one of the very best of gentlemen and eminently de serves that of which he is doubtless poscted a true and lovlug wife. Cattle Market. We learn that cattle are much lower In the Willam ette valley this fall than they were last year. Fears are felt of a severe winter, ami consequently very few buyers are about The prices, as near as we can get them, are as fohows : Last spring calves, $10 per head ; year- lir. sir, ; tun-vi1rnlil. f5 : three- year olds and cows, $30. The supply is ! said to be quite plentiful. Another Fibe. Lat Sunday Lee Burkhart's ience, about a mile south of town, caught fire either from a burning straw stack or from some care less smoker pawing that way, and burned over a mile in length next to Jaon Wheeler's farm, causing a loss of $200 to Mr. Burkbart This dry weather is propitious for the fiery ele ment, and too much care cannot be observed in preventing its ignition. Dr. A born the successful Oculist, Aurist, Catarrh, Tliroat and Lung Phy sician, of Ban Francisco, whose re markble success is well known on the Pacific coast, lias been effecting some wonderful cares in Portland, during the pat few weeks. Dr. A born can be seen professionally at the Chemeketa Hotel, Salem, from the 8rd until tbe 17th of October.
