F ree P ostage .—From the 1st inst newspapers will pass through the mails free of postage in the counties where they are published.

C aldwell ’ s S oda S prings .—This popular resort is receiving a large number of guests this summer. — Among those from Jacksonville now there are Mi^jor Glenn, John Wintjen, Henry Judge and others. S outhern O regon W agon R oad .— Work on this road, under the manage ment of Hon. E. C. Mason,superintend ent, is progressing in earnest. R. B. Hargadine, contractor at Ashland, ad vertises for 15 good hands to work on the same. A regular meeting of the Board of Trustees was held this evening. Pres ent—Messrs. Beekman, Kubll, Sachs and Bilger; absent—Mr. Judge. The meeting was called to order by President Beekman. The minutes of the two previous meetings were read and approved. The Committee on Road and Streets (Messrs. Sachs and Bilger) made a ver bal report to the Board, stating that they had directed the Street Commis sioner’s attention to the bad condition of sidewalks, and especially the walk in front of the town property ; that he has altogether neglected to attend to these matters, and it is time some means be used to enforce repairs of sidewalks, etc. The Street Commissioner made a quarterly report, showing road tax col lected in cash to be $157.65, and labor expended thus far upon the road at 165 days. He recommended that in place of plank gravel walks be allowed made. Report ordered filed. The Sexton made his quarterly re port, showing collections of $45 made last quarter, and no expenditures ex cept $5 due from Thos. G. Devens of money collected in 1870, while acting as Sexton in his absence. Report or dered filed. The following bills wero presented : P. Boschey, work on road, $99 ; P. Dunn, recording town deeds, $3. The bills were referred to the usual Com mittee. H. K. Hanna’s quarterly salary bill of $25 was ordered paid. Mr. Sachs moved that the Road Committee be authorized to place a pump in the town tank on the corner of Third and C streets, for the conve- nience of the public, The motion, not being seconded, failed. It was also moved by Mr. Sachs that the claim of $5 against T. G. Devens, reported by the Sexton, be referred to the Town Attorney and the collection enforced. Board then adjourned. How C attle W intered in C iie - waukan .—P. A. Olmstead informs the Yreka Union that but few cattle perished last winter in the Chewau- kan valley from the severity of the climate. He says Perry Hoyt and others drove a band of 1,100 or 1,200 into the valley late in the Fall, most of them “dog poor,” and not over 50 out of the lot have died. Further, that most of those that have died, died not on account of the severity of the weather, but from eating, it is sup posed, some poisonous herb. It seems there is a small part of the valley in which the cattle obtain something in • the early Spring season—what, has not been satisfactorily ascertained—which poisons them and causes speedy death. His statement in regard to the way in which stock passed through the Win ter in that valley accords with our pre vious information on the subject. The amount of snow that fell there, it seems, was nothing near so great as that fell in Big Valley, Hot Spring or I Goose Lake, though it must be higher than the first two of those valleys, and nearly, if not quite, as high as the last. Why the winter was milder there than in valleys farther south and of less al titude is one of the anomalies of our climate.
