upon and what we ask. The appall­
ing frauds that have been perpetra­
ted by faithless directors in other
roads will be impossible in this, lie-
cause in the future capitalists will not
entrust their money to the directory
of this or any other road without
themselves overseeing the disburse­
ment and appropriation of their
money, and if they can see that this
road constitutes an important open­
ing of a great commercial highway
across the continent, they will look
to returns for their investment in the
not far distant future, and be satis­
fied. And in this case we ask the
world to scan the geography of the
continent, and we do not fear that
it wiil be found that the proposed
line of P., D. & S. L. R. R. is the
necessary line, and the most natural
the most speedy, the easiest and
cheapest, that nature has provided
for the transit of passengers and
merchandise between tho Atlantic
and Pacific Oceans.
We have aimed in this article, to
call public attention to the sugges­
tions we have made and to the points
stated. And in conclusion we add
another and that is: That as this road
is the best possible connection for
the Union Pacific, so it is the most
natural route for the Northern
Pacific R. R. to tend southward
from Bozeman’s Pass, and follow the
valley of the Yellowstone branch of
the Missouri to the valley of Snake
river, and thence from the line of
P. D. & S. L. R. R. to the Co­
lumbia, and thence to tide water.
And we predict the ultimate union of
these two great continental highways
aud the ultimate construction of
these natural routes above set forth*
to accommodate the increasing wants
of the great basin of the Columbia,
and the commerce of the great North­
west.
The Idalio Statesman says: “ Tiie
subject sbove indicated is more ma­
terial to the interests of this city and
Territory tlian any other matter
whatever. Without it our city will
languish, our mines remain unde­
veloped, and all onr interests, agri­
cultural,« mercantile, mining and
mechanical, will be depressed for
the want of population. . With the
railway assured we will start at once
on a course of prosperity equal in
results to the most iavored Territor­
ies.
“ Our readers will naturally in­
quire what is the present prospect
of this great highway being opened?
We answer:—It is rational as any­
thing of public interest that rests in
the action of Congress, and we will
state our reasons. First—The Com­
mittee on Railroads in both Houses
of Congress have reported unani­
mously in favor of Congressional aid
to an extent that will insure its con­
struction. And though a discussion
will ensue upon-the consideration of
the bill yet, wo have no doubt of its
real strength and ultimate success
as a great public measure. Second
—The State of Oregon is taking
strong measures in its ¡favor. At
the last session of the Legislation cf
that State an act was passed approi-
aiing the proceeds of the sale of
swamp lands, from which thp best
informed judges say the sum of one
million dollars may be expected. In
addi ion, the Legislature of that
State, which will convene at Salem
on the 14th inst., will lie asked, and
we think not without success, for
one million more in real aid of the
project. Third—The Territory of
Idaho at its last session in 1872 3
passed an act releasing the contem­
plated road from the payment of
taxes for seven years. This aid, tho’
small, in itself is important, in-prin­ E A S T E R N A N O S O U T H E R N O R E G O N .

The Grande Konde Valley is adap­

not extensive. The leading men of
Oregon have greatly underestimated
tliis part of their State. The great
fault probably is, the State is to largo
to comprehend all at one view.
Elk, d er, antelope, prairie chickens,
ducks, fish, plums and berries are
found in abundance. Settlers in
Western Oregon m o v in g eastward
say this country is fast -filling up
with some of the oldest and - most
wealthiest settlers of Westen Ore­
gon. Nearly all the stock of the
Willamette Valley, and a great ma­
jority of all West of tli© Cascades,
have been driven here within* the
last two seasons, and are now rapid­
ly changing on account of the c li­
mate.
I even found many Californians

The greatest natural curiosity in

unfathomable depth, to be the chim ­

cult descent of over three quarters
of a mile from its lowest crest, while
its dismal and almost perpeudidular
walls upon the opposite side are
soveral thousand feet higher. Its
lava steeps bear no living thing, but
echo and re-echo a doleful simile of
the visitor’s prattle within, A light 4
skiff has been launched upon it this
season by pleasure seekers from the
reservation, making it more pleasant
for the traveler after -gaining its
shore.
The Wocu8 and cammessee grow
in great abundance upon the Reser­
vation and are gathered in large
quantities by the Indians for their
bread (said to be more nutritious
than wheat). Wild game and fish
are unlimited, and they eatch and
cure the trout by the ton. Ber­
ries, plums, and currants are ia
abundance—red, yellow, and black
currants. The two first are profilio
and equal to our cultivated.

W o o d .— A new method of preserving
wood from decay has been receo-
mended by Hatzfeld. It seems that,
in 1830, specimens of oak were dug
up in Rouen, which had been buried
since the year 1150. This wood was
quite sound, but had acquired a
black color like ebony, and an aston­
ishing hardness. Hatzfeld ascribed
its preservation to the joint action of
the tannin in the wood and the ox­
ides o f iron in the soil. According­
ly he now proposes to preserve wood
artificially by means of tannin and
the pyroiignite of iron a combina­
tion which would in some measure
bring about the same changes no­
ticed in the specimens from Rouen.
Hatzfeld impregnates the wood to be
preserved, first with tannin, and
subsequently with tho pyroiignite
solution. The latter substance has
long been used alone us a preserva­
tive of the best character, and it is
doubtful whether the addition of the
tannin, as proposed by Hatzfeld,
will prove of sufficient advantage to
warrant the extra expense.
T h e R ig h t S o r t . —There is a class
of cosmetics we can safely reeeo-
mend, and guarantee that they will
produce not only a clear complexion
but improve the general health.
Our cosmetics are plain, wholesome,
nutritious food, not vitiated with
soda or spice, or lard, abundance of
fruit (dried apples nicely cooked
will answer), frequent ablutions of
the entire body, accompanied with
plentiful use of fine soap on tire face
as well as other portions of the sur­
face, ample exercise in the open air,
and early and long sleep. Three
months’ use of these cosmetics will
improve the mogt hopeless* com*
plexion, and leave only the happiest
after effects.
T he B lack H ills .— General Sher­
idan has issued an order to Briga­
dier General Terry, at St. Paul,
saying that unofficial information
has reached his headquarters of the
organization of parties at Sioux city,
Yankton and Bismarck to invade the
Sionx Indian Reservation, with the
view of visiting the country known
as the Black Hills. Should such
information be correct, yon will
please notify such parties that they
will not be permitted to go unless
under authority from the Secretary
of the Interior or Congress.
If anything will impress the hu­
man mind with awe, it is the ex­
pression of the man’s face who has
just been aroused from snoring in
church.
