Sv s V. THE OREGON SENTINEL "Wednesday, January 14, 1880. Religious Services. Rev. D. A. Crowell will preach at the M. E. Church, Jacksonville, at 11 A. M., next Sunday, Jan 18th Elder Peter son will preach at Central Point next Lordsday, Jan. 18th, and at Eagle Point on the 25th. Improvements at Klamath. We learn from reliable authority that new quarters are to be built at Fort Klam ath next Spring for the enlisted men; one for the cavalry and one for the in fantry. The officers' quarters are still in good order and sufficiently comma dious. Solar Eclipse. The solar eclipse announced for Sunday afternoon lost took place with due precision. During the most of the afternoon heavy clouds obscured the sun, but at 4 p. si. they broke away and the partial eclipse was plainly visible without the aid of smok ed glass. Recovering. The McFerrin family residing near the desert are all nearly Veil. A report was circulated that they had "malignant diphtheria" or t'black tongue," which had the effect of keeping the neighbors away and great ly distressing the family without cause and creating unnecessary alarm. A. Little Deluge. On Friday the tail-race at the "Willow Springs mines choked up and backed the water until a large volume had accumulated. When it broke it nearly submerged Wm. Peninger's farm, flooding liis barn and out-houses so that he had to remove his stock ; but not before some of his hogs were drowned. Dam Carried Away. During the heavy rain on Friday last Bear creek raised so rapidly that the dam of the Eureka Mill was swept away, and the changing current seriously damaging the county road between the mill and Central Point. Steps have been taken to protect the road from further washing, which would be inevitable should another warm rain ensue. En Route. We had a call fiom our genial friend, Lieut E. H. Shel ton, who was en-route from Ft. Klam ath to Walla Walla last week to join his wife who is serioubly ill. He re ports a very heavy snow-fall in Lake county, the snow being about six feet deep at the "ost"and five deep on the road from Fort Klamath to Linkville. Stockmen and merchants considered the prospects very gloomy. Mired. On Thursday night last Goo. Chase discovered that the stone culvert across the "run" in the Herrin lane had washed out,and in attempting to cross t the side of the road got liia leaders inir-yL It was with difficulty that he save them from drowning un til help arrived, and ho utilized W. F. a.nd Co.'s box by propping up the stage to kwp it from capsizing until things were righted. Who wouldn't b a stage driver, out in the chilly night ? A Slight Flurry. There has been a little "discord" in our neighbor ing town of Ashland lately, in College circles, that threatened to discount our little "organ" war. From our best sources .of information it appears that an effort was made to eject a music teacher from the faculty, but she still remains mistress of the situation. A card in the last "Tidings" numerously mgned, warmly endorses the teacher, but it is to le regretted as "cards" create a suspicion in the public mind that somebody needs bolstering up. We are glad to say that all is apparent ly peaceful again, Those Opium Dens. The "Times" has at last discovered that there are Opium "dens" in Jacksonville, but thinks we have greatly exaggerated, and remarks that only a "depraved few visit the dens." We will say for tne information of the "Times" that the Sentinel hod materially checked the evil by a kindly and earnest warn ing to the young men who were thoughtlessly yielding to the habit be fore the "Times" noticed it. Conse quently it is only those who are called by that paper the "depraved few" who still indulge and they are to be pitied more thad blamed. We know exact ly what we are talking about. Vnnisn n'n Afopitriv it A Tlnvi. son, lately returned from Yreka, says the late storm was heavier in Siskiyou county than here, snow was three feet deep on the summit of the stage road pass. He thinks the loss of stock across the State line will be even heav ier than here, as there is less feed pro vided. Since Mr. Davison's return it has stormed all the time, and our latest advises are that the snow was seven feet deep on the highest points of the road. Sleighs are now run instead of stages between Barron's and Cole's. This is the first time in ten years that the mails had to be carried in sleighs across the Siskiyou mountains. Red Men Installation. The Pocahontas Tribe of the Improved Or der of Red Men installed the following officers on the 7th of this month: Henry Pape, Sachem; Geo. Elliott, Senior Sagamore ; Chas. Nickell, Jun ior Sagamore; Louis Solomon, Keeper of Wampum ; Frank Lorraine, Guard of the Wigwam ; Adam Schmidt, Guard of the Forest; E. D. Foudray, 1st San- nap; James McCully, 2d Sannap ; T. J. Kenney, 1st BraVe ; Aaron Barnaburg, 2d Brave; John Cimborsky, 1st War rior; David Cronemiller, 2d Warrior; 3L K. Hanna, Prophet. After .he in stallation the members and invited guests adjourned to the Club Room where a bounteous collation awaited them, followed by a dance which was pretty generally participated in by those present Music by the Jackson ville btnng iiand.

We heard last week that an assist ant postmaster had been appointed for Jacksonville. It was a post "mistress," a little small one, and all in the family. The telegraph waf badly demoralized again last week by the heavy storm, there being no communication with Portland or San Francisco for several days. Material improvements have been made at the postoffice by P. M. Muller. It is now arranged so that the window is closed while mails are being distrib uted. The "Del Norte Record" of Jan. 6th says, the roads are almost impassible in all directions from Crescent City, with very littlo chance of improvement be fore Spring. A Philadelphia dispatch says, the contract was let to construct 750 miles of the Texas Pacific Railroad, being the section between Fort Worth and El Passo. Joe Beggs, the "boss" freighter, has bten heard from. He is engaged in building a scow with which to navi gate the road between Roseburg and Robert's hill. The hay barn of the Beall Brothers, was blown over by the wind on the 9th instant, as were also many of their fences. The fences and out-houses of Gen Ross shared the same fate. The great eclipse of Sunday was a fruitless attemut on the nart of nlrl "Sol" to divert attention from Matt Dillons fine whiskey. Nothing can eclipse it and no smoked glass required. W. H. Woodbury, postmaster at Crescent City, informs the "Courier" that a tri-weekly mail service will be established between that point and San Francisco via Eureka in about three weeks. Falkner, Bell fc Ca's wool and live stock circular, San Francisco, notes a falling off of nearly 22 per cent- in 1878 of the wool trade of the Pacific coast Cause, decrease of the number of sheep. A great deal of Eastern mail for Southern Oregon goes per steamer -by way of San Francisco and Portland. The steamer "California" which arriyed at Portland on the 5th brought six tons of mail. The "Ceroma" of Ashland College for December is on our table, somewhat belated. Prof. Rogers' Thanksgiving sermon, delivered at the M. E. church in Ashland is.one of the main features of this number. The mail contractor on the Butte creek route (McMahon) informs us that the snow at King's on Big Butte was thirty inches deep on Friday last The last storm was telling very hard on stock, especially on sheep. John Slagle's barn near Willow Springs fell in with a crash during the high wind the other day, burying a mare and a colt. The animals were extricated after considerable exertion, but were more frightened than injured. The "State Line Herald,' published at Lakeview by the Watson Bros., has entered on its second year of existence greatly enlarged and improved. It is attracting much attention to Lake county and doing good work for its section. Oregon street wants a new bridge across Jackson creek, one that every rise in that stream will not wash out We should think Jacksonville could afford a more substantial bridge at that point than any of its short-stringered predecessors. Last Saturday Mrs. Amanda Bilger, accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Kreutzer, left here for Roseburg where she expects to remain some weeks in the family of Dr. Callender for the benefit of her health, which has been failing for some months. Sheep are now dying in large num brs in the valley. It is probable that only those bands that were healthy, in good condition and amply supplied with food at the beginning of the storm, will weather it through without a loss of more than fifty per cent. A prominent farmer tells us that many sheep are dying from eating poi sonous weeds in tho hay. It would be well for our farmers to investigate and discover the weed if possible to do so. When such weeds are known and rec- ogniaod thVy fan Va crcbJCatcJ tLIlo growing. We hear that a large band of sheep belonging to Mr. Webb of Siskiyou county, Cal, are diminishing at a ter rible rate. Webb had twenty-two thousand head at the beginning of the storm and has already lost five thou sand. It is feared that he will loose his entire band. The case of B. F. Dowell against the city of Portland, for illegally assessing B. F. Dowell for a lot he never owned, appealed by the city from the decision of Justice Wiley last Fall, has been de cided by Judge Bellinger in favor of the plaintiff, and assessed his damage at 3145.45 and costs of the action. During Gen. Grant's visit in Jack sonville, Florida, January 5th, the thermometer stood 80 degrees in the shade, with beautiful sunshiny weather, and the magnolia filling the air with perfume. On the same day we, in Jacksonville, Oregon, had freezing weather with the thermometer at 28. Owing to the death of M. D. Pome roy the wagon road interest has receiv ed a serious backset He was on his way to San Francisco for the puqwse of enlisting the assistance of the busi ness men of that city in the enterprise, and there is little doubt that he would have succeeded in his efforts. Cres cent City "Courier." The sharp wind which prevailed here on the 9th instant, blew down quite a number of frail fences and rickety out-houses. In the lanes down the valley, we are informed, miles of fences and a number of hay sheds were prostrated. It has been many years since Jacksonville and Rogue river valley experienced such a "blow." We learn from R. M. Garrett, mail contractor on the Waldo route, that there has been a heavy snow fall in Josephine county during the past week. On the Hays' hill it was three feet in depth and about two feet deep along many miles of the road. Sheep were dying in considerable numbers, and the people of Josephine county will be heavy losers in stock. The small attendance at the Court House last Friday night was very dis couraging to our Amateur Minstrel Troupe. Our boys who have assisted with their musical talents on many public occasions gratis, should not have been slighted in this manner. But the remarkably blustry weather was per haps a valid excuse for the light house on the night alluded to. We regret to n-te the death of John J. Nichols, formerly of Douglas county, which took place at his residence in Sam's Valley on Sunday morning last. The health of the deceased had leen failing-for sometime and last week he caught a severe cold which proved his last sickness. Mr. Nichols was a man of upright character and sterling in tegrity and a good and useful citizen whose loss will be felt. He leaves a wife and family to mourn his depart ure. He was insured in the Pacific Mutual Lift Insurance Co. for SI, 000. Coats, worth 8 for 4 50, at the new jor. store. ITeatlier Brpert for 1819. REPORTED BYBEV. If. A. WILLIAMS, NEAR JACKSONVILLE, OR.

Burke met with a distressing accident at the factory of Maish fc Co., Tues day afternoon. He was at work with the moulding machine, when his hand was struck by the revolving bits, and three fingers, the first, second and the little finger, were almost severed from the hand and were shockingly lacera ted. Dr. Royal dressed the wounded hand, and thinks that with good care it r ay heal so as to be a useful mem ber, but it will never be as flexible and strong as before the, accident It has iicrii uui. a inw-uiuiiius since jut. Burke had his elbow severely cut by the same machine, or a similar one. "Tidings." Very Changeable. -The people of Rogue river valley are treated to all kinds of weather this Vinter. Nature seems to be at war with itself, and our reputation for mildness of climate and geniality of temperature has received several very severe and chilling back sets. The general thaw the forepart of last week was" followed by some viv id flashes of lightning and the rumb ling of thunder on the night of the 5th and the morning of the 6th in stant. On the 7th Jacksonville and vicinity were visited by a pouring tropical rain, which continued all forenoon and turned into a snowstorm toward evening. The waters which came rushing down Jackson and Daisy creeks soon caused those streams to assume formidable proportions, run ning over their banks and spreading over the low places below town. The timber of the bridge crossing Jackson creek on Oregon street were again moved out of place, and the ground floor of P. J. Ryan's new barn was flooded by the waters of Daisy creek. On the morning of the 8th the mud in the streets was frozen sufficiently stiff to bear up the weight of a man, fol lowed by a snowstorm that lasted all forenoon of that day. When the storm let up the fallen snow was found to measure 4i inches on the level. On the 9 th it rained all '.forenoon, rapidly melting the snow of thfl previous days, and at half past 12 a heavy wind came down from the South, blowing a per fect gale and threatening to level all the rickety BtrucUmS in its course. The wind lifted the lignt wooden build ing in the rear of the residence of Adam Klippel on Fifth avenue, used as a carptner shop and wood shed, dumping its roof and sides in the mid dle of the street The gale continued uninterruptedly for two hours, alter nating with rain, snow and sunshine. Beautieul Portrait. There is on exhibition, at Mr. Beekman's banking office, a very finely executed portrait from the brush of Miss Anna Benner, who is now located in Jacksonville, having her studio at Mr. Britt's resi dence. Miss Benner comes among us a stranger, but. bringing pleasant let ters of introduction from friends in the North. She is prepared to paint portraits in oil or give instructions to others, and her merit as an artist is quite apparent from the beauty of her work. Quarterly Meeting. The second quarterly meeting of the M.E. Church for Jacksonville circuit will be held at Phoenix on Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 24th and 25th. Preaching on Saturday at 11 a. m., after which the quarterly conference will be held. All the offi ciary are requested to be present as important business will come before the conference. The usual quarterly meet ing services will be held on Sabbath. AH are invited to attend. D. A. CrowelC, Pastor. Subscribe for the Sentinel. HI.M.MG ITEMS, Miners up Jackson creek are all busy as beavers. Gin Len on Little Applegate is steadily at work day and night with two pipes. Every miner on Applegate that we can hear from is at work utilizing the fine supply of water. Sterling Mining Co., which had to suspend operations on account of some "slides" in their ditch, resumed piping again to-day. From Wes. Ingram, who called on Saturday, we learn that all the ditches at Willow Springs were flush. T. L. Beck will move more of his rich dirt this season than he has moved for the past two Winters, and every miner in the camp was busy. The Egan arastra was still at work on good rock. We met W. H. Benner, superinten dent of the Centennial mine, a few days ago, who informed us that the water supply was ample for his six inch pipe, and the prospect for a long continued run very good. The Cen tennial prospects well and no doubt will pay its owners well this season. The ground is now so thoroughly saturated with water and there is so large an amount of snow in the mountains that miners will undoubted ly have the largest water supply ever known in Southern Oregon. Many of the wells in Jacksonville are full to the surface with water, and many cel lars have to be abandoned. Supreme Court Proceedings. Among the proceedings of the Supreme Court from the "Statesman" we find the following: W. H. Effinger presented to the court affidavits and papers charging Sidney Dell with be ing guilty of contempt of the court by reason of having w ritten and caused to be published false statements as to the findings and opinions of the court in tho case of Hewit and Walker vs. Goldsmith and Teal ; tried and decided at the January term of the court, 1879. The Coyote Gold and Silver Mining Company, respondents, vs. Wn. Ruble and Walter Ruble, appel ants, appeal from Jackson county; set for hearing the 19th day of January. John Weiss, appellant, vs. the Board of County Commissioners of Jackson county et al., respondents, appeal from Douglas county; motion to dismiss allowed. The latter case in volved the right of the County Com missioners to lay out and open a coun ty road within the corporate limits of Jacksonville. It was transferred to the second district as Judge Hanna had been counsel in the case, there dis missed on demurrer and appealed to the Supreme Court. Its dismissal leaves the main question still undecided. found the programme of the enterram' ment to be given at the Court House next Friday night : 1. Music by the Brass Band; 2.

Chorus by a quartett of old folks; 20. Music by the Brass Band. Building Damaged in Ashland. We learn that the Odd Fellows' brick building recently erected in Ashland has been very seriously damaged by the storm. The foundation in front has settled jo that the walls of the second story in front are bulged forward sever al inches and there are several long vertical cracks in the wall, running from the stone foundation up. The wall was thought so insecure that on Thursday last workmen were engaged in strengthening the foundations, but many think anything but the rebuild ing of the whole front wall, a waste of money. We heard long since that the brick layers protested against the foun dation as flimsy and unsafe but their judgment was disregarded. We are at a loss to know why this important item has been omitted by our usually enter prising cotemporary, the "Tidings." Mormons Defiant. Advises from Salt Lake, dated Jan. 5, state that yes terday afternoon at the Mormon Quar terly Conference in that city, Apostle John Taylor, in closing his remarks to about five thousand assembled Saints, said that polygamy was ordained of God, and the United States could not stop it no nation on earth could stop it all the nations on the earth could not wipe it out He defied the United States, and called upon all his hearers who supported him to raise their right hand. Every hand went up in support of the Mormon leader in his treason, and even women raised the hands of infants in their arms. Taylor was fol lowed by Apostle Smith who spoks in tli3 same strain and in a defiant man- Beautiful INSTRUMENT.-The church organ about which there has been so much talk lately was unboxed on Sat urday and placed in Mr. Foudray's parlor. It is said by musical experts to be in perfect order nnd it is certain ly one of the sweetest toned instruments we ever heard. If it were in the church where it should be, there is no telling how many poor sinners might be led to grace by its heavenly strains. Take Notice; Those owing bills at "The City Drug Store" are notified that they will be refused credit until they settle, and interest will be charg ed from this date, January 1, 1880. Robert Kahler. East of the Mountains. Arthur Langell writes us the follow ing from Langell valley, under date of Jan. 6th : Snow has fallen here to the depth of twelve inches at my house; at "Horse Fly" four feet with a crust which makes it bad for stock. Horses have been found standing under juniper trees for four days on account of the crust Old settlers think this Winter will kill more stock than the hardest Winter ever known in Lake. Very little hay here, and feeding commenced six weeks earlier than usual, and my impression is that if the storm contin ues six weeks longer two-thirds of the cattle in this section will jierish. Sheep will die by the wholesale. Langell val ley is covered with ice 'eight inches thick on which teams can pass easily. The above being dated prior to the last heavy storm, the perilous Condition of stock in Lake county will be realiz ed. Ed. Real Estate Transactions. The following1" deeds have been recorded in the County Clerk's office since our last report: State to Prudence M. Walker, con firmatory deed for school land, in Man zanita precinct.

Hunter has lately returned to this valley after an absence of the Fall months in Reading, California, where he has been working at his trade (blacksmithing). He represents Read ing since the teaming closed, as ex tremely dull, with times hard and very little business doing. The fact of Reading being a railroad terminus did not seem to give that town any more life and animation than towns a hun dred or more miles away from the cars. Society Election. At a regular meeting of Jacksonville Stamm No. 148, II. O. R. M., held at their hall last Thursday evening, the following officers were elected for the ensuing term: O. C, Newman Fisher; U. C. S. Cohn; B. C., Jacob Meyer; Secreta ry, M. Muller; G. S., H. v. Helms; Treasurer, Veit Schutz; P., E. Ja cobs. The installation will take place next Thursday evening. Stock Prospects. It is now conced ed by experienced stockmen that even Ijcxs losniBfck in Jackson, Josephine and Lake counties will be immense. The long continued storm has weaken ed and impoverished cattle to such an extent that as soon as tho ground be comes soft and miry they will be unable to get food and will consequently per ish.
