Prims to ui , Qto. M. Mnj-iB, Staging In Early Days", Ecoene, Jan. 10, Enrroa Gcabd: An item appeared iu uuabd ol Dec. 91st copied from the Ashland Tidings, in regard to the first stage and driver thereof across the Siskiyou moun tains which I think is wrnc in dates. In 1851-2 there were about twelve stage com panies in California running to all parts of the State. In 1853 they held a meeting in Sacramento and joined in a joint stock com pany under the name of the C. S. C. Co., which whs to commence the 1st of January, 1804, with Jas. Beach president, Cbas. Mc Caulin vice president, and Warren Hall gen eral manager. In the summer of 1854 Cba. McCunlin sent his brother aud a driver named Little Sam, by way of Portland with two Concord coaches to tuke them to Yreka to run between that point and Callahan's ranch, to connect with the Great house sad dle train that run from bhasta. In taking them from Oregon City to Aurora Mr. Mo Cauliu was thrown from the box the wheel running over bis bead killing him. Sam had the remains buried and hired another man to help him through. ' When they got to Yreka Hugh Slicer, a nephew of McCau liu's, took charge of the stock aud as super intendent ran a daily stage line to Callahan's and put on s tri-weekly stage across the Sis kiyous to Jacksonville with Little Sam as driver, and not Dan Cawley as stated in the Tidings. This was iu 1854 and not in 1856 as the Tidings states. In 1855 the president of the company started to New York but was lost with the steamer Yankee Blade, when Jumes 1 lay worth was elected. In 1856 they stocked the Pitt River route from Red Bluff to Yreka, by wuy of Pitt river, McCloud val ley and Shasta valley. This route was run but four months, when the Pitt River In dians com j elled theni to abandon the line on account of their hostilities. In those days staging was good in California. I have seen twenty stages leave Marysville every day and the same number out of Sacramen to, besides what ran out of San Francisco, Stockton and other places in the mountains, carrying twenty passengers to the coach and ihirty on the .six-home coaches. In 1800 they obtained a mail contract from Sacra mento to Portland for $95,000 per year, which was a small sum for so long a route especially when they were paid in green backs. In 1864 a party from Texas got the mail contract but failed to come to time, when the old company took it for two years at a large price. Iu 1866 Senator Corbett of Portland got the contract for four years, when Barlow & Anderson took it and held control I believe, until crowded off by the steam horse. ' Ah Old Stages. Spencer Butte Items. Jan. 12, 1888. Items are very scarce this weather. Rose Johnson is very low with typhoid fever. Charles Matheney has returned to this part of the country. Mr. Fitch has returned from the Jackson county mines. Mr. Ostium baa been feeding over 300 cattle through the storm. Several from here attended a mock trial a the Goshen school house Tuesday night. Mr. Blantnn had several sheep killed by dogs a few nights ago. Such dogs should be dis posed of. From the way the "'Eavesdropper" aiieaks, one would suppose that he wrote his last items while in the midst of a hysterical fit. There was a dance at Mr. Rathrock's house last Friday night. All had a pleasant time considering the small attendance. Some of the young people from here and Goidien indulged in a coyote chase the fore part of last week. They were unsuccessful. Some of the young people from here talk of going; to Florida to escape Oregon's cold win ters. I am afraid they would find a wanner climate than they expected there. Elmer Renshaw met our old friend and school teacher, Mr. T. J. Wilson, in Coos county a few days ago. Mr. Wilson mysteri ously disappeared from this neighborhood abou.' three years ago, and this is the hrst time he has been heard from. Last Wednesday evening our friend the "Eavesdropper" left his home at Goshen and started to the school house to attend a meeting of the Goshen Literary Society, held at that place. As he went down the road, with his hands in his pockets, and singing a little song t himself, he had hopes of being re-elected to the editorship of the "Truth Defierj" but when he arrived at the school house and heard the result of the election all hope fled. He was not only not elected, but he was not f ven nom inated for that office. After the election he went home and has not smiled since. His dis appointment is so great it is doubtful if he nukes his appeirance at the next meeting of the society. Pete. Dexter Items. Jan. 11, 1888. Fine weather for sleigh riding.

Since the appearance of new almanacs, the professors are happy add chestuut bells have been selling at a discount. The seuiors are now actively engaged in preparing those great orations which are to startle the world next June. Since the cold weather began those Lau reans who were planuing to go to Alaska, have abandoued the project. At the 'ast session of the Tjoiresm Menara J. O'Sulliven. E. J. Fletchor aud W. Hawley were Bummed to mtmbersbip. Chet Ellis did come, rattle bones and all. and proves that he has lost none of his old time skill in the manipulation of them. Mr. W. II. Gore has been visitins his many friends in Eugene for the past week. Mr. Gore is a graduate of the class of '86. Mr. Woodworth's pockets seem to need a regular spring house cleaning, for they are literally running over with quaint little uiuei uoux. We shall recall this snow and cold with pleasure next term when we are wending our way to the University some day about the lost of June. Miss Osie Walton will not attend the Uni versity as was stated, but will attend a busi ness college in Portland durlne the remain der of the winter. The water snrmlv in the University build ings has been shut off part of the time dur ing the past two weeks, owing to the extreme coldness of the weather. President Johnson thinks the sooner his destination is reached the better this cold weather, and has adopted a real boyish run to aud from the University. Poor WoodworthI He forgot the advice "Bo wise; soar not too high to fall," and in tryiug to perform some marvelous feat upon the ice, incurred the penalty. Mr. Fred Wagner rotutned Tuesday morn ing to school. Mr. Wagner is the last to come back of those Southern Oregon boys who were deluysd for various reasons. The seniors have been remarkably good so far. They generally furnish material for about one-half of the editor's work. But you know "no rule without exceptions." Next week we shall have the pleasure of announcing our successor, and hope she may be able te make this column much more mtoresting than we have been able to do. We are pleased to loam tbat the doctors have pronouuoed the trouble with Miss Nellie Hill's eyes nothing permanent, but only a case requiring perfect rest from use. The Laureaus are having great times over their holiday "peanut celebration." The members who were absent are contesting the matter. They should do as the Euluxiuns, not condescend te such frivolities. Mr. Dan Bass has, we bear, commenced the practice af law in Seattle, It does not take long for our graduates to settle down for their life's work, and get married. Not that Das is married yet, but then . At the last meeting of the Laureaus Mr. Fred. Dunn who, owing to the mm appear ance of the new Editor el ct, still retained that office, resigned his position and J. E. Young was elected to Bill the vacancy The Logio class have not yet commenced work. Tbty are waiting for the Chemistry class to finish its work, which, owing to a change in the length of last term, they were unable to complete before tne noluluys. The "mind work" on a proposed street railroad from the depot down Willamette street aud up Eleventh to the Univensity, has been oompleted by a number of students. Probably the road will not be completed this year. At the last meeting of the Eutaxians the names of Misses Elvo Galloway, Nellie Snodgrass, Annie Roberts and Melissa Hill were proposed for membership, ims is qnite encouraging, and we hope we may have the pleasure of welcoming many more new members.. Last Tuesday afternoon Prof. Straub could not resist the temptation longer, snd, skates in hand wended his way to an.ice pond, where he passed the afternoon in real fun. Why can not all the professors follow bis example and try the ice, taking the schol ars along with them? Should not an attempt be made to again introduce the study of French iuto our Uni versity course? It was formerly taught here and in an able manner too, yet, in its place an additional year of German is now given. We feel the need of a knowledge of French so often ia our general reading as well as in our studies, and were the extra year now given to German, devoted to French it wonld, we - believe, be of more practical valne.
