soil wera abundantly apparrent and to
the ever ehunging features of a land
scape wonderful by picturesque, tha
varied hues of the autumnal foliage
lent their own peculiar charms; and I
was greatly impressed, as I had often
been before,- wth the remarkable
beauty and variety of the scenery; and
to myself I cried out, "Ecce, the Italy
of Oregonl" an exclamation often by
others mads, and one, I venture to
predict, that will be many and many
a time hereafter made, not by our own
people alone, lut by the delighted
tourist who shall chance to bo a lover
of nature, and in consequence an ad
mirer of whatever is beautiful in
natural scenery. Ana now that we
are to have the railroad, and our
country in consequence likely (in time)
to be developed to its fullest capacity,
I venture also to predict that, with
our delighted climate, anil with a
country almost unparalleled for tho
beauty and variety of its natural
scenery this Southern Oregon will
in time become noted as the land of
pleasant homes, and, tvs such, will con
tinue to attract to itself tho more in
telligent and well to do from less
favcred regions.
Mr. H. S. Evans, he id man in
charge of Abraham k Wheeler's stores
in this section, was thrown from a
hand car Sunday while coming up the
grado on tho north end of the Grave
Creek tunnel, and badly hurt. He
was sitting, it seems, whith his legs
hanging over the front end of the car,
and hi3 fett catching on one of the
ties ha wns thrown violently to tho
ground. The car at the samo time
ran upon him, bringing tho cog3 of the
driver with grpnt force upon his fore
head and producing three or four
very ugly wounds.
It seems that tho grading is very
much ahead of what tho railroad com
pany expected it would be when they
let tho contract for the timbers for the
trestles. This is the cause, it it
claimed, of the delay in construction
of the latter (and following this as a
consequence, of the present suspension
uf track laying,) and not that the mill
company are behind in their contract.
Tue latter company, it is said by those
seemingly well posted in tho matter,
have plenty of time to make good
their contract; and it is even hinted
that, for some purpose best inown to
themselves they are also taking their
time, lou have heard, I presume, of
that man of dry humor who went off
so very coly and leisurely to his break
fast, leaving his more innocent but
less fortunate comrade to hold on for
dear lifo to the bear's tail; all of which
only serves to show that one may bo
very cool and unconcerned in certain
contingencies. It 13 presumed the
mill company are now feeling that way
At any rate that's tho way it looks to
.a man up a tree.
Jarrett's force is at Woodvillo put
ting in culverts. They will havo a
week or ten day's work in this vicinity,
and win tuen move tanner soutli.
Thu grading is about done in tho
vicinity of Woodville, and camp eight
leaves this (Thursday) morning for
Phoenix. A good portion of the road
hero is also leveled up ready for the
ties. Further north however, for n
distance of several miles, there is con
uzziit" outlets, i
etc. Minor incidents, great demoraliza
tion of non participants, a grand
scramble for bomb proof apartments
Closing scene: man with empty revol
ver beating hasty retreat, while wife
struggles with excited husband to
prevent his bringing Remington into
play. Notes: creat excitement. Com
ments (not-any.)

Selling Out. Those desiring any
thing in the lino of merchandise will do
well by calling on Barruch Fisher be
fore going elsewhere as he is closing
out his stock at cost. A trial will
convince you all.
