the welfare and pnwperity of Southern
Oregon, I have written the enclosed Half

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

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

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

road and bare informed myaelf a well a I
could abont tbe wagon ways iuto Ihb

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.
Send blm aloig we have only twelve

From Ivlaxnntb.
Weare permlllttl to make lhe following
extract from a letter written by W. V, .
Foler. Esq :
Fnrrr Kuhatii. 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. He who
aka for more evidence would not believe
though one rose from tbe dead and urged
hi faith by ghnatly argument.
Dntxir and IfsTWAno. The people of
Jarksomlllc were again favnrrd by one of
lhoe matchless concert given by Dodge
and Hayward, on the I5lh inat.

Hayward, as a ballad singer, muii be
ranked with the b.st. The melody of
bis voice always commands a deathless
silence and makes an audience feci the spirit
of bbdiitioctly-tp'jktn wordt.
Notwithstanding the multitude of en
