' Pursuant to orders, your reporter proceeded to the front,, that your read ers might have some idea of the work now being carried on by the 0. 4: 0. R.

" v The journey from Roscburg to Rid dle was accomplished without delay, a gang of Chinamen having removed a slide at the Roberts hill just in time to permit the train to pass. Here the trouble commenced. The stage, which goes by the way of, Canyonville to Jacksonville, was not to start until six o'clock A. H., and the prospect of pass ing the night at Riddle was not en couraging. Bill Anderson had a res taurant and lodging house near the de pot, while Riddle's hotel and the stage station was about a quarter of a mile distant, with a six-inch sidewalk and mud knee deep intervening. As Mr. Riddle's family were afflicted with the scarlet fever, we concluded to stay with Anderson, where we were well provided for, bearing tho fact that the arrival of trains and the clatter of dishes through out the night was not conducive to sleep. My friend and mysejf had paid our stage fare upon our arrival and when, by means of a guide, we had ar rived at the station, we were greeted by the agent with a sublimo indiffer ence that would do credit to any hotel clerk in the United States. He com pelled us to accept a ride, as a favor and admit our want of common sense in making such a trip. We were not aware how correct his judgment was until we had been a milo or two on our journey, when we found that tho roads were execrable, the dead axletree wag ons were worse, the spriug -seats for ne convenience or payrgers a ae- lusion and snare, nd that the horses were so weaK that tliey were scnrcely able to walk, without pulling a load. Tlianks to an iron censiitution we arrived at Wolf creek alive, shook the mud from our boots and sent a chromo to the family. Our journey from this point to Jump off Joe was by mule back. We were compelled to remain soveVal days at the house of J. S. W. Smith who is the justice of the peace of the precinct, and where we received the kindest of attention from himself and his estimable wife. Squire Smith's nouse is tavorably s ituated for a sum mcJ rlesort' bci"s on the of the di- vide between Grave creek and Jump- off-Joe, about 850 feet above Grave creek, but it cannot bo denied that when the thermometer is sinking to wards zero a pleasanter place to pass a week might be found. The intensity of the cold and the slippery condition of the trails prevent ed making a visit to the Grave creek tunnel, which is being bored bj Jefltrv, Cook .fc Co. and which is said to be progressing wpII. Miller fe Co.'s saw mill at that place, had closed and we learned was to be moved further in ad vance. There are several mining claims on Grave Creek and Cayote, which were all prepared for a good season's' work and had a few days , run, but tho second freeze up has.giyend!l of them the blues and the owners are now pray ing for snow or rain. Orr ray relurn to Wolf I found my old friend Henry Smith convalescing from an attack of the mumps, but is still unable to be out. No clue had then been found to convict the persons who robbed his store, although there is little doubt by whom it was committed. Mr. Smith has his hands full of work. He has removed his saw mill to Cayote creek," about a quarter of a mile from his house, and is now engaged .in fill ing a contract with the 0. & 0. rail road company for 1,000,000 feet of lumber. The mill is uuder the man agement of our old friend Nelse Luck ey, formerly of Eugene, ,who has in creased its capacity and it is now turn ing out lumber very rapidly. The bridge and trestlo worl; on the line of the railroad, under the contractors Miller & Sons, has been completed to Wolf creek, and is of a most substan tial character. Prom this place to the Grave creek tunnel the work will be heavy, some of tho trestles being over 100 feet high. About one mile from here is the south end of the tunnel from Cow creek through the mountain to this place, tho length of which will be 2770 foet. The work at this end of the tun nel is being done by Jeffrey, Cook & Co., under the superintendence of John Bavs. Ther employ 32 white men and 60 Chinamen,-divided into three shifts of eight hours, under direction of J. B. Tonkin and R. J. Andrews, fore men. The drilling is done by two Budeigh machines, driven by com pressed air, and although the rock is, very hard, tho average advance is about five feet per twenty-four hours. By the kindness of the superintendent we were permitted to enter the tunnel and see the working of the drills and no doubt would havo been allowed to see the loading of the holes and the manner of exploding them, but as the fumes of giant powder was never agreeable to our lungs we politely de clined the compliment. Drilling with compressed air is one of the most won derful inventions of this progressive age and its operation well repays a a visit. At tliis.placo the engine that furnishes to motive power, which is called the compressor, is nearly a mile from the mouth of tho tunnol. The air is conveyed to the face of the work by a wrought iron pipe 3 inches in di ameter from which hose leads it to the drilling machine. The holes are gen erally drilled six or seven feet deep. The south end of the tunnel is now in about 000 feet. The work on the north end is being dono by the railroad company with Ireland and Ward as foremen. The compressor is about three hunderd yards from the tunnel. We had no time to visit it but learn that it is advanced about 400 tect. About three miles from the tunnel we came to the saw mill of Willis and Abraham and the embryo town of Julia, situated on Cow creek, about four miles below Hedtield's on tho stage road. The mill wal shut down when we were there and tho foreman, Mr; Edwards, was engaged in cutting ice from the mill pond and storing it away. He had already put up 100 tons of ex celleut ice, nearly six inches in thick ness. The work of clearing the town ;,ite and grading for the depot and round house was stopped oa account of the severity of the weather. The pop ulation of Julia is at present rather promiscuous, but the permanent resi dents have great faith in the future of the town. Near Julia a hospital is located, un der the charge of Dr. Storling. The Doctor was not in when wo called, but we were politely received by tho stew ard, R. II. McAlister. Tho only pa tients were Manning and McDonald, the two men who woro wounded ai the explosion iu tho tunnel, who appeared to be doing wi.ll. The hospital is well kept and provided in a much better manner than could be expected in such a rugged country. The trip down Cow creek is not a pleasant one at present, but will be when the road is completed. Rock work and tuneling is being puhrd with great energy and a suc cession of blasts along the wiiolo line would remind an old soldier of a heavy battle. Thu different camps aro locat ed in the gulches near the track, wher ever a sufficient piece of level ground can be found and often where it can not. A wagon road has been con structed as near the grade as was feasi ble and a small army of wagons and teams are busy hauling freight from the md of the track to the different camps. The track was laid to the north end of tunnel No. 3, but as that tunnel was finished it is now probably beyond that point. The sceno at the end of the track was a busy one. Freight was being discharged -from the construction train, which was forward ed by a chute across the creek and loaded on the wagons in a continuous stream. From tunnel No. 6 we were kindly furnished by J. B. Harris with transportation to Riddle, where we ar rived at ten P. M. very cold, but safe. "Independent." An Orville man, while putting on his clothes last Sunday, stepped into the kitchen and asked tho hired girl for a pin. Her hands were covered with dough so she just swelled out her bosom and told him to take one; and the poor awkward man would have been fumbling around for that pin yet 'if his wife had not suddenly appeared upon the scene. Hereafter she will not forget to sew the buttons on his shirt. LI.TTi:t: FltOM 3IOL1CO. U. S. Consulate, Guaymas, Mexico, February 7, 1883. Martix YrooiUx, Eq., Jacksonville, Oregon. Dear Sir: I take pleasure in an swering the inquiries propounded in your favor of the 29th ultimo. The Government of- Mexico grant land to colonists but they must come as such, and promise to remain a number of years in the country ar?d cultivate these lauds. An American citizen can acquire land by purchase iu the country and acquire title. Wheat, beans, corn and various other things are raised, principally the first item. A man's life and property are about as safe here as in most countries, always supposing that he is a good citizen. The climata for four months is hot but healthy. During the winter months no better climate can be found, the tem perature now is C5 and 70 degrees. The immediate surrounding of this place arc not beautiful. The soil is good. In most cases it requires irriga tion and except at very heavy expense water could not be obtained. Lands already irrigated are worth 50 per acre and upwards, wild and unimprov ed land can be had for 25 cents per acre and less. There is no inducement for the professional man or mechanic here. "We have three doctors here and two drug stores. This place contains 5,500 inhabitants and about 200 Americans an-1 other foreigners. Some Americans are settling here. This is not a good country for a la boring man, nearly all the labor is dono by Indians and no white man can com pete with them. The best way is to see the country in case of thinking of emigrating here. You can then form a much more in telligent idea of what it is. A. M. WARD, U. S. Consul. Value of as E.vgint -Euscnc city had a little blaze last week, Thursday. The fire broke out in a boot and shoe store; but owing to the fact that they have a good fire engine the destructive flames were soon extinguished. The damage done was comparatively small, probably not exceeding ?800. Had it not been for their engine and fire com pany, instead of an 800 fire it might have proven an 880,000 one. This plainly demonstrates the necessity of a good fire department for every town in this Btate. Why cant Koseburg havo a fire engine? A good one would bf wcrth ten times the city's reservoir, which in its present state is wholly valueless. The cost of an engine, too could hardly be greater than our water works. "Plaiudtaler." Illinois towns present examples of the workings of the high license sys tem. A year ago Joilet adopted it. Before that there were ninety saloons in the place paying a license of $30 each, or 84,500 in the aggregate. The new law fixed the license at 500. Tho result is that tho number of saloons has been reduced to sixty, and the revenue they pay is 3,000 that is, one-third fewer saloons pay more than six times as much revenue as under the old system. Cloaks lined with ostrich feathers are new in style, but the worst feature of the fashion is that if a woman leaves it unbuttoned she is accounted a shod dy ite, moro anxious for vulgar display than comfort; while, if she keeps it buttoned, it might just as well be lined with red flannel, for no one can see it. Any newspaper that will try to make out that a man hates a pillow sham de serves to lose all of its subscribers. Nothing keeps hair oil off the pillow like a sham with a lace border two inches thick. When somebody asked "Ben" Wade how ho liked II. W. Beecher, ho said: "D Beecher; he has knocked hell out of religion, and religion without hell is no better than pork without salt." Henry Villard is having two new steel steamers built in the east for the Puget Sound trade. They will cost 125,000 a piece and will be capable of making twenty miles an hour. Postmaster-General Howe has found in his office a record of his own ap pointment as Postmaster at Read field, M. June 12, 1S41. He was removed by President Tyler. Yamhill KraU the World. A rather amusing incident is told as having occurred recently at a church in Yamhill county, not many miles from McMinnviile. The clergyman it would appear, desired to call the atten tion of the congregation to tho fact that it being the Ust Sunday of thd month he would ndininitter tho right of baptism to children. Previous ta having entered tho pulpit, he riad re LMWed from cn of his Ulers, win W, the way, was quite deaf, a notice to tho effect that as the. children would be present that evening, nnd he had a new Sunday school book ready for distribu-" lion, he would havo them there to sell to all who desired them. After the sermon, the clergyman began the bap tismal notice thus: "All those hav ing children and desiring to have them baptised will bring them this after noon." At this point tho deaf elder, hearing the mention of children, sup posed it was something in reference to his books, and rising said: "All of those having none, aud desiring them will be supplied by me for the sum of 25 cents. G. Washington- Peck ok the Obel isk. Peck of "Peck's Sun" has been to New York and seen tho obelisk. The following is his opinion of Mr. Yander bilt's gift to the city: "After walking about Central Park for an hour I saw a sign, 'To the obelisk.' with a hand pointing to the north, and presently I looked up and there it was. Well, it made mo sick. Why, it is an old back-number obelisk, with the adver tisements on it so worn out and imper fect that I doubt if Bill can read them himself. For a quarter of tho money Vanderbilt could havo had a new latest stylo obelisk, mado right here at home a regular toothpick toed, cutaway obelisk. But this one is away behind tho times. It is frayed at the edgM, run over at the heel, aud needs weather-strips on it. The advertisements of ancient Egyptian patent medicine deal ers, with cuts of the patient before and after taking, are not in the highest style of art. The Society for tho Pre vention of Crime should have that obelisk pulled down." Girls, be careful of your associates! Tho newspapers are filled with painful instances of girls misled and ruined, through folly in forming acquaintance of youns men, of whom they know nothing, and whose intentions in seek ing their society are evil. There ars many traps set to catch tho feet of un wary school girls, who think it is ro mantic to flirt with young men whom they meet on the street, or in the cars or elsewhere. Girls, do not hold your selves so cheaply. Recognize no one, to whom you are not introduced by some one whom you know respects you, and who will guard your welfare. Do not have acquaintances which you would not confide to -your mother. You may consider it is a slow way to live, and you may think there is lots of fun in tho adventures which your schoolmates boast of, but depend upon it slow life is the true one, and that any girl who gives herself ever so slightly to fast associates, is in danger of undes:ribable heartaches, and de ceptions and peril, from which thero is no escape. A short time ago as the Czar, was about to enter a railroad train at St. Petersburg to Gatchina, ho was accost ed by a throng of peasants with cries of "Sire, give us bread; wo are hungry." Alexander was deoply moved, and at onco inquired of tho Minister of Fi nance if the peasantry anywhere were in actual need of food. The Minister replied that it was indeed so, but tho imperial treasury was so nearly empty that no relit f could bo afforded. At this the Czar become very angry bo cause the state of affairs had thitherto been concealed from him, and ex pressed his determination to tako up his residence at St. Petersburg, that he might keep close personal oversight upon the Administration. It is reported that negotiations aro pending between tho Northern Pacific and the Utah k. Northern railroads by which the latter company are to de liver the rails required for tho moun tain division of the former company. Consummation of such arrangements will insure tho completion of ths Northern, Pacific two months earlier than by present construction facilitiesr
