I arriTrd nt Canym City on the 3d of Jone, In com pany with Bnocb Walker. We came by way of the Vreka trail. Tbie route li a rtry pood me to drive cattle oo, with the exception of fifty mile of di rt, en which no water haa a ret been found. Thla trail over tome of the rnagbeat roontry I ever aw and my obacrvationa are ripened by croaeing the plaim, and I think I know what rough road are. A wagon aecom panted u, dtawn by eight (rood berae. The load waa twenty-Ovc hundred They pot through, nnd that U all joo ran ray. I do not think that Iho owner will repent the experiment. I kept n journal of the trip; the dwtance to thl place, by the route we came, i fully four bnsJrrd mile. Canyon Ci'y h abunt 230 mile from Jacksonville, and I learn that the llcgne River wagon road la already completed to the rsmaiit of tlie Cascade Mountain. There I a good graded nagno road liom the Dalle to Canyon City; the Rflr Rirer wagon road will Intersect thu abimt p0 mile from Canyon City. So you ton ee at a glance that yoe haro hot a fborl 'diitance of road to complete aod then you nave a gooo graueu roau to uanyon uuy And once there, yon are within 80 mile of Aubcrn, I'owder River, about 140 mile from Rjnnoek, and 125 mile from the Owyhee. There b a road now being con itructed from Canyon City lo the Owyhee, on the low puas between tbe John Day and Malheur River. It will coat about 81000 per mile. It la nearly all done- It I an imlividoal enterprwe a gentleman by the came of Ilnwe being the proprietor or corporator. I have been working on thl road and bare informed myaelf a well a I could abont tbe wagon ways iuto Ihb country. Mr. Howe Informs me that he would like to visit our valley, and if oar road would be any benefit lo bl road, that if we needed any aniatsnee lie would be clad to aid o In putting It tbron-h.

With road from Jacksonville to Canyon City tlie farmers of Rogue River vaHey will fomtsb tbe Canyon City mines with all their Soar and bacoo, or.In other words, the rotoers of Canyon City will furnlst) IhemselvM with those staples from oar These mioea are extensive and New mine are constantly being of them of labuloo the above 'ir!l oVM?.

July 16th,18G4. Dr.xn Hib : I srrived here on the 14th in!., over the long-poken-of p Iron the Rogue river, and find It an excellent ronte for a road. There are not 500 yard o( rocky road or mora thn 700 ynrd of grading in the whole distance between tbe Rogue River road and Fort Klsmath. There I about. 22 mile nf road lo make, which will probably coat 530 per mile, but by means ol fire this amount may be ma terially lessened. It la not more thaa 30 miles from lhe Rngue river to thla place. Water and grata Is not quite so! plenty on this route ss on the old one, but I think teams can make the trip on the new route frcm txo to three, days sooner than by lhe old one. The In dian trouble arc all river, and there is co fears of any more, as the K breath Indiana art afraid of the Snakes, which (eeling Is cordially reciprocated by the Rnskes. W. W. Fowlex. Another proof of the practicability of the Rogue River route. Oner in the Klamath bniin and all dfttctilly b nver. Mr. Fowler says that the road can hi com pleted for leas than 830 per mile.
