Editor Democrat:
Having made the trip from Albany lo the
Lakes en the Summit of the Cascades, 1 will
tell your readers what I know about the
roads, sports, resorts, etc., between the two
places. .
The report has boeu current through the
valley this spring, that ' the mountain road
was vary bad. 8uch is not the case at all.
It was muddy a few weeks ago between
Moss's Butte and Lower Soda, but that has
dried up new and in making the trip to the
Lakes, the tires of our wagon were rarely
covered with mud. After getting above tl e
saw-mill on tho Santiam, the roads are n t
vary dusty and traveling is pleasant Hy
and oats can be had at nearly every ranch
on the route.
The first resort of any note is Lower Soda,
15 miles from the toll gate. The health-giving
properties of the soda springs at this
place are fast bringing it into notoriety as a
resort for inralids. The proprietor of this
hotel at Lower Soda is T. P. McKnight,
formerly of Albany, and be makes a first
class landlord. He has several rooms flitted
up nicely and ho boards and lodges people
for only $5 per week. -
The next place U Upper Soda, 12 miles
further on. There art no hotel accommoda
tions at this place, but campers could not
wish for a better place. S. W. Kei.h lives
here and kesps a little store and also fur
nishes horse feed at a slight advance oa val
ley prices. Some persons claim that the
soda water obtained from these springs ia the
best in the State.
But if you want sport and health com
bined, go up te Fiah Lake away up among
the clouds where the air ia as pure as purity
itself. Here the deer are so plenty that any
one who can shoot can get all he wants, and
the beautiful speckled trout in countless
numbers sport in the limpid waters of both
Fish aad Clear Lakes. At the former lake
Bonces ter k Nickerson keep a store and
hotel, and they are both so genial and
whole-souled aad take so ranch trouble in
imparting information to travelers and ex
cursionists that their friends are numbered
by the legion. They hare an abundance of
hay, aad also furnish pasture at extremely
low rates.
Deer have sot yet commenced going down
the mountains in any numbers. The bucks
are rery fat and eaa be found in erery direc
tion from here on the mountains. The does
are extremely poor and are not fit to kill.
FishareplentifuL Daring the last few days
they would bite but little at Clear Lake,
bat we hare been drawing them ont of Fish
Lake lively. Throe of us caught about 80ftj
yesterday afternoon. Wo also found splen
did fishing in the Santiam.
The indications are that the blackberry
crop will be larger than ever this season.
The Santiam canyon is perfectly red with
them. The first of them will be ready to
gather by next weak.
Ten camps at Fish Lake.
Starr Mealey is at his father's, oa Moss's
Butte, and seems to be improving iu health.
W. M. Smith arrived at Fish Lake yester
day. He caught about 70 fish to-day, and
startos for Black Butte to-morrow.
Instead of going up Salt River Caleb Gray
came up the Santiam, bringing his family
with him, and ia now here.
Win. Peters, ef the Albany party, while
camped at Whiskey Springs, happened to
get up one night and go out into the road to
get a riew of "pale Luna," and while -out
there was chased by a bear. Fortunately
the fluttering ef his shirt ia the night air
scared tho savage animal away, and Win.
still lives aad can bake as good bread as any
body. Probably the members of Linn Base Ball
Club are net aware of the fact that they
came near losing their captain a few days
ago, but nevertheless such is the case. We
were all sleeping in a row by the wagon with
the horses tied to the hind wheels. A little
disturbance was kicked up among onr equine
friends and the old mare suddenly came over
the wheel and gracefully set her hind feet
iu the bed. But if the old mare was grace
ful in her movements, Cash was rapid, and
with a cry of "Foul! Judipnent.'" he per
formed a rapid evolution, backwards in raid
air aad alighted in Ed. Clark's stomach.
We will draw the curtains. Eeader, you
oan exercise your imagination.

Large numbers of elk were seen about three

We have had numerous steambaat and rail
road excursions this year, and now comes the
managers of the steamship Great Stpublic,
and propose to have a grand excursion to San
Francisco, to start from Portland one week
from to-morrow, providing 800 tickets can be
sold. The fare for the round trip is $o, and
tho officers of the vessel estimate that if they
can secure 800 passengers they will be justi
fied ia the speculation. There are accommo
dations on the vessel for 1,000 passengers,
eonaequently no one will bo crowded. Here
is a chance for our citieens to visit San Fran,
eisco for the small sum of $11.50, including
the fare to Portland. The excursionists will
remain ia San Francisco from three to five

Dr. T. F. Smith, assisted by Dr. Lee, of
Independence, and Dr. Stites, of Dallas, per
formed the difficult operation of removal of
the lower jaw from Mr, Banzer, of Washing
ton Territory. This is one of the beet opera
tions in surgery. Mr. Banzer in coming to
out little town and passing the best surgeons
in the State to get Dr. Smith to perform this
operation, shows great confidence in the abil
ity of Dr. Smith. The operation was per,
formed yesrerday, in the office of Dr. Smith.
The lower jaw from the chin to the joint was
removed, and many important uteries were
cut, which Dr. Lee immediately caught and
tied. Dr. Stites administered the chloroform
in a scientific manner, while Dr. Smith per
formed the operation, which we shall claim
to the honorof Dallas, was the best surgical op
eration ever performed in the State of Ore
gon. Dallas Jtemiter.

' Je?rxssoii, June 2J, 1878.
Mutri. T. Cunningham tCo.:,. - ; .
Gexts : t was present at the fcial of Self
Binders held on the farm of Chas. Libbr.
Jnne 15, 1878, since which time I havo read
a statement of the Hay's proceedings circu
lated by the "Wood's Peopla" and signed by
on F. Kennedy, an employe of Frank Bru's
of Portland, in which they have grossly mis
represented tho afiair, especially ia regard to
the McCormick machine. First, they say
they offered to leave tho result to a rote' oi
the farmers present This I know is not the
ease. Mr. Buchanan, Agent for tho Mc
Cormick, was the first and only man to pro
pose anything of the kind, and the operators
ot the other two machines said they would
not go into the trial ; next they say the Mc-
Cormick is a heavy draft machine, and the
operator changed horses three times during
the afternoon; this is untrue and without
foundation : it was drawn by two email
horses all the afternoon, dm lag which time
Mr. Buchanan proposed to measare the cut
of each machine, which wat done aith the
following result : McCormick 6ft 101 ia. :
Wood s 5ft 8 in. Osborne 6ft 8 in. t there-
fore the McCormiek cuts 2 inches more
than the Wood's, and was drawn by the
smallest team on the ground, aad never
ehoked either in" elevating or Vndiog, bit
exrried the grain in good shape to the binder,
wnere it Was bound in neat square-ended
bundles, and dropped gently on tho stubble,
(not kicked up in the air to fall on the heads
of the grain a is tht manner of tho Wood's
delirery,)aud the separation of the bundle
from the loose straw was sunerior to
either of the other two, and I will further
say the statement that the McCormiek and
Osborne operators refuted to submit
working of their machine to a vote at the
close of a day is also incorrect and untrue
The Wood's agents never mentioned anything
of the kind, and I am surprised to tliiak
they would circulate aach glaring misrepre
sentations. I am a farmer and watched the
exhibition closely, and cheerfully say to my
brother farmers, if you want a good reliable
Self-Binding Harvester, buy a McCormiek.
Respectfully yours, F. P. Miller.
