Do well against Jesse Applegate and his children an execu tion has been issued for the costs, amounting to $1,188.40 and accruing costs, and the United States Marshal has levied the same on the wife's part of Applegate's donation claim in Doug las county, and the land will be sold nt Rosebure on July lllh to Dav the same. The attorney's fees have W n probably as much more, so trying to avoid the payment of a legal and just debt is costly litigation. It will be remembered by the readers of the Sentinel, that B. F.

The Board of Trustees met at the city hall on Tuesday and Thursday evenings of this wpek. At the first meeting President Linn informed the Board that he had purchased a fire engine from manufacturers in the Eait and that it would probably arrive here about the middle of July. Upon its arrival here it will be housed with ap propriate honors. The cost of the engine is S700, bosocart,'S125 and the bell for the city hall' $40. Capt. S. L. Dolscn informs us that tho railroad route is definitely located through the valley and the setting of grade stakes has commenced. Another party as large as the one now employed will be put in the field at once for this work and evprything will be rushed along as fast as pos?iblp. Mr. Loring, the right of way agent, is meeting with good success and with less trouble than was anticipated. The road is experted to reach the valley be fore the first of next January. Our merchantscomplain of thnmanner in which their goods are handled at. the front and tho railtoadorapifiy should make an effort to straighten matters out at that point. The .main cause of complaint is that no bills Are sent and the merchants here never knew where their freight is or what the charges are. All charges must be paid when the freight is taken from .the company's warehouse and pvery one can readily see that this will cause an incon venience to our shippers when not in formed as to how much thev owe. The C. & O. Stage Co. have sent out a large number of circulars describ ing the advantages of a journey over land, between California and Oregon, the trip between San Francisco and Portland being now maJe in 75 hours, with only 48. hours and 230 miles of staging. Close concection is made by fine new 14 passenger coaches with railroad at Redding, 260 miles north of San Francisco, and also at Glendale, 270 miles south of Portland. Nearly all the railroad travel between cities above named is by daylight, with but .16 hours ot night travel by stage, and every effort is made, together with re duction of rates, to please the travel ing public, as an inducement to secure patronage, lhe stage route traverses the beautiful valles of Sacramento, Shasta, Klamath and Rogue rivers, all of which are studded with fin! views, together with the grand awe inspiring scenes of Mount Shasta and Cast'e Rock. Numerous points of interest are reached, and the hotel accomoda tions are good and cheaper than living at home. Tourists and pleasure seekers will find abundant opportunities to spend their leisure hours, and sports men can take their choice from half a dozen first-class hunting and fishing grounds. The McCloud and upper Sacramento rivers, numerous streams in Shasta Valley, and Rogue river in Southern Oregon teem with the finest trout, while there are a. dozen places where deer and bear abound within from two to ten miles of thn route. The finest kind of clear cold soda springs are to be found at Bailey's and Uncle Dick's on the Sacramento river, 'at Bvron Cole's on the southern side of the Siskiyou and at Barron's on the northern side, while several noted springs, such as Shovel Creek on the Klamath, and others in this ;ounty and around Linkville, are within a day or two drive from' the route. At all these places are to be found good hotel accommodations and every convenience for hunting and fishing. Strawberry Valley or Berry vale, 77 miles from Redding, is the headquarters for all who wish to do Mt. Shas'a and the beautiful McCloud river. Parties desiring to stop at this point will find everything in readiness for them in the line of guides, horses, hunting and fish incr apparatus, etc. We anticipate during the coming summer that a greatly increased travel will come over land through this section between Cali fornia and Oregon, and the stage company, under the energetic manage ment of the general ag6nt, Mr. A. H. Burrows, is sparing no effort in pro viding new and commodious stages and splendid stock to make the staging equal in comfort to the finest staging in any section, in which effort he is ably assisted by the division agents Messrs. W. L. Smith and Wm. Carll. "Yreka Journal." Yreka Races.

A resolution was also pitssed at this meet ing allowing anyone to join the society who arrived in this valley before 1858, which will tend to increase the. raamfcer ship considerably, Mr, J. T. Arant, of Klamath county, who has been in California for the past year, found while iu Ashland last week that a pony which he had missed from the range was in possession of A. D. Rockfellow. He took he pony with him to Klamath county. Rock fellow claims that he bought the pony from an Indian near Fort Klamath last summer, after receiving his discbarge from the army. Rockfellow is the same who is under bonds to appear be fore the next grand jury to answer the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses, by the illegal use of a no tarial stal. "Tidincs." The subjoined letter explains itself and, we think, fully exhonerates the party accused and no further comment is necessary: United States Indian Service KLAMATn AOENOY, Mat 29th 1683. A. D.
