The iiTegulariiy of the Mails and the diffi culty o f transportation again th is'w in ter through the whole portion of country east o f Portland and the Sea coast, brings dio me to U3 the great importance and necessity of the building of the Portland, Dalles and Salt La k e Railroad. As it is now we of Eastern Oregon, Washington and Idaho Ter-, ritories, see and feel the need of this road to a greater extent than possibly can any oth er community. We are isolated and hem med in upon all sides. Upon the west and north by the freezing up of the Columbia and on the east, by reason of the fact that there is no inducement’ for people to settle along the line o f travel in sufficient num bers to accommodate those who would trav el in that direction this season of the year. There is at present only stations for and mostly owned by the Stage Company on the route from Boise City to Kelton on the Un ion Pacific ltailroad. Those stations do not pretend to keep provender for horses and teams and only furnish grub and other crea ture comfort? for the human family. Let the Portland, Dalles and Salt Lake Railroad be built, and from the commencement of work on the line, this vast and fertile section of country w ill commence to settle up and improve and by the time the road is com pleted the preseut desert waste w ill bo dot ted over with beautiful farms, towns and vil lages. At the present time there are thous ands and hundreds o f thousands o f acres of Uncle Sam’s lands lying idle and unoccu pied along the whole extent of this propos ed road—and if the road is not built, the lands will not realize to the government the cost of surv yiug them for years,-and may be never—but with road commenced, with a certainty o f its early completion, the gov ernment w ill be enabled to sell those lands to the hardy and industrious settler, who will soon make for himself and those de pendent upon him beautiful and pleasant homes. With this road built, the agricultu ral districts o f the whole great northwest will find an outlet for tlieir surplus products; the great bands o f cattle which now roam over our grazing fields w ill find a ready mar ket in supplying the eastern markets with as fine beef as ever graced the most fastidious epicures table; our mines will be opened up; capital w ill seek investment in their richness and the rattle and bang of the Quartz M ill w ill greet the ears of our peo ple on overy side—from our gulches, ravines and mountain tops. Oregon, Washington and Idaho contain more and better agricultural lands than does the whole balance of the great Pacific coast, but from our isolated position, and the want o f the means o f transportation, we are far behind our sister states o f California and Nevada. L et the government only do a tithe for us to what it has done for those States in building up the means of transpor tation to, through and from us, and wo will soon outstrip them in almost all the branches of useful industry. Our population w ill be come dense; our people rich and prosperous; the government will dispose of its n ew use less and waste lands, and the people of the east will reap a golden harvest from this con nection. The aid asked from the government, in point of fact, is no aid at all. The services proposed to be rendered by the road will moro than repay the government for all that is asked of it. Every close and safe calculat ing financier, who will examine this mat ter must become convinced, that instead of the government granting a subsidy to the road, the road is paying a subsidy to the gov ernment. Because the projectors o f this great national road have made a fair, liber- ' al and generous proposition to the govern. ■ ment, with a proviso in their charter author izing the government, both general and state, to supervise and control the rate of ' tariff to be charged by it, there are those that contendj that the propositions are not made in good faith, an'd make this a pretext for their opposition, to the road and the granting of tjie asked for aid by the general government. The building of this road is a national ne cessity, demanded by the wants of the whole commercial community of the east as well as of the great west. It gives to the east a cer tain, sure and safe connection with the P a cific ocean at all seasons of the yeai. This road is theffiearestand most direct route for the trade of China, Japan and the Sand wich Islands to the Atlantic coast and Eu rope, and when built is destined soon to be come the great-feeder of the Luion Pacific; and through it the great trans-continental railway of the United States. ^cte^ter^TarBftra-sjteaafetaa Conn WnATHttfi.—un Tuesday night, Jan. 5th , the mercury took a sudden fall and on Wednesday morning It was down to sixteen degrees below zero. Since that time it has at nò time been but little w a r mer and on last Friday morning at h a lf past eight o’clock the mercury was dow?n to twenty degrees below zero, and earfflir in the morning it had dropped as low as twenty-five degrees. It is now (Friday) eleven days that we have had intense cold weather for this section of country and no indication of it moderating. On last Tues day night it snowed some two to four in ches with the mercury away down below zero. This is an unheard of occurrence in Eastern Oregon until this wiuter. The Co lu mbia River below the Dalles is closed, and the mails between those two points have to go over the Cascade range of mountains on the old trail. This cuts off our Portland and Wallamette papers,hence we have no news from that section of the State. Snake River at Old’s Ferry, cannot be crossed with the large ferry boat—the m ails and passengers have to be crossed in arsmall boat on account of running ice. The great and majestic Powder River is frozen up and the beautiful streams that used to ripple down the “ vine clad” hills and mountains'have for the present ceas- éd their sparkling flow----- at this stage of the writing of this article we were drawn away from a beautiful flight of fancy by the terrible and alarm ing cry of— F ir e ! F ir e ! ¡—A n d upon rushing out into the street, and looking up and down we soon discovered that the cry originated from the burning of Mrs. Irla n d’s dwelling house, about two blocks to the west of our office. Thè fire, in some manner, caught under the floor and when discovered had got under such headway that there was no prospect of saving the nice and new resi lience of the worthy widow lady, and only by the utmost efforts could the furniture, clothing &c., or any part of it be saved.— Th# weather, as above remarked, was in tensely cold, but our citizens turned out enmasse to render all the aid in their pow er towards helping to subdue the lire king, but their efforts, without Hooks and L a d ders and a Fire Engine, were unavailing.— The fire passed up between the lining and papering and the weatherboarding and it was full half an hour, from the time it was discovered, before it broke out through the roof, and when it did the building was one mass of flame. Although the fire was a hot one, several of tile persons who were aiding about the burning building had their toes, fingers and ears slightly frosted —•there was about six or eight inches of snow on the ground and on the surround ing buildings, and but very little air stir ring at the time, this prevented the sprea ding of the flames. \t this writing we have not learned tlie amount of loss, but should judge that it will not fall short of twelve or fifteen hundred dollars. This is the second time Mrs. Irinnd has had the misfortune to be bume.1 out of house- and home in our county. In March, 1365, her dwelling house , near Wingville, was burn', ed with everything it contained . W m . F. M c C r a r y . —W m . F. McCrary, our worthy Postmaster, has been very sick for the past three months. H e is reduced in flesh from a large, robust m an to a « mere skeleton. N o t being a physician, we will not attempt to give a name to, or a de scription of the disease with which he is afflicted. The very cold weather which has visited us for the past two or three weeks lias had a deleterious effect upon his health. His physicians, we under stand, and his family and friends think, 'with a decided moderation of the atmos phere, there are chances for his recovery. W e have been intimately acquainted with Mr. McCrary for the past thirty-one years, and take pleasure in saying that he is a noble, good and true man, a fast friend, a worthy husband and father. During his sickness he has h id every attention that a loving and devoted wife and family could render, and the friends of the family have been promptRnd constant in their attentions,for which the family feel truly grateful.

W. Virtue, we had the pleasure oi inspecting the first lot of Sil ver Bricks ever run in Oregon; the proceeds of three weeks run of Green & McDonald’s five Stamp M ill on rock f r - m Green’s Dis covery. The Bricks weighed forty-one pounds each, 960 fine in silver and .05 in gold. They keep their M ill running day and night, and large shipments will come in every month. On thé Coynor Creek Ledge, fifteen stamps are running’ constantly on rich Ore; their clean up for the present month w ill not fall short of $10,000. Hoover & Co., are running five stamps On the Summit Ledge with splendid result. E. E. Cabell of the famous Cabell Ledge is attaching an ongine and boiler to his eight stamp Mill, and will have ,them in working order in a few days. This will enable him to double his bullion receipts; formerly he run his stamps by water power. The Ledge is looking well and great quantities of rich Ore in sight. The “ Virtue” is running smoothly, with her twenty stamps going up and down day and night as regular as clock work, on rich gold sulpburets, Mr. Hyde "the gentlemanly Superintendent informs us he is now sink ing on the main shaft f <r the third level; the ledge is over two feet wide, with excellent m i.ling Ore. He is also pushing forward on his north and south drifts, with excellent success. There is now sufficient Ore in sight to keep twenty stamps running for years. Prospects for onr placer mines are most .favorable. We have abundance of snow; water will be plenty ; numbers are making preparations to improve it. New ditches are being dug and old ones repaired. The branch o f the Eldorado ditch being dug to Amelia is near completion; this will open up eight miles more o f rich miniug countiy, and will he a. great benefit to the miners there and profit to the Ditch Company. Several Companies are also preparing to go into extensive burning operations in thé spring. Mr. Gurnee, Merchant o f Eobinsonville, informs us that they have five feet of solid snow, and hence “ ye miners rejoice.” U n io n Ite m s , O nce in a w h ile the gian t Ananias o f the D e tro it F re e Press gets in a Grand Ronde valley contains about six solem n fact a m o M his jokes.
