After listening to the verdict the !ge turned o the jury and said: This has been a failure of justice. it of respect and feeling for the wife i little ones of the dofeiuhvtit, you ate been led to acquit. Such a ver- t as this must re-ult disastrously to Incidents of the .Siletvs reservation."

Passing along the beach, I noticed the u;sl of the graves of . the live men whose bodies have lately been found in a much decayed condition along the beadr us far north as Xeztuccu. All these bodies were badly mutilated and only a few had anything on by which they could tyi identified. From what I could learn, however, one was supposed to be, by papers found, the purser of the South Portland. Another, evidently a member of the crew, hud 50c?ntsiu his pocket and ib woman's picture tat ranches. r: The directors of the Toll rond will find a road easy to construct, with n very large part of tho same already built, necessitating only a few miles of corduroy or planking and the building of three bridges, one other being prac tically built. The toll road will mainly follow the survey which was well lo cated and requiring only u few chauges in alignment. It is safe to say that it will be a boon to the Salmon river poo ple which they have long dosyrvod. I understood from Dr. Smith tiat men will bo put to work at once hewing out stringers, etc., for tho bridges, and that others will soon bo put to work swamp- Record of Recent Exchangers Lincoln County.

Idem locket stopped found that ho hud a Una farm, well cul tivated and taken care of. Ho has 300 head of good sheep, a lot of fat cattle, and four as good horses as there are in Lincoln county. . Mr. Morris is an In dian, but there is no white man in this county who works any hardor or who has n better kept farm. All the country from the mouth of Devil's Lake to Salmon river, a strip nljout 5 miles long by 3 miles wide, is the linesC in Lincoln county. The o:J is good, the hills are low aud goutly rolling and ure bare of trees and 'logs. In fact it is a typical piece of Nebraska prairie land. ' The lower Salmon river county is also as fine as miything . iu Tillamook or Lincoln counties. , , . From Morris' place I struck what I hud come to see, viz., the Salmon river roud. From Morris' to the river at Lo gan ford is naturally udapted to a road and one can bo laid out any where. At Logan ford there will have- to be a bridge that wiil cost probably SJOO. From here the roud crosses the river bottom to the hills, along the lower edge of which it runs until Long Prairie is reached, ..bout T miles from Logan ford. The road then traverses the river bottom for lbe balance of the distance iu Lincoln county. At the end of Ixmg Prairio comes tho famous Boulder ford, which is the terror of the Salmon river valley. Here, however, just ubove, is an excellent site' for a bridge with a span of about 80 feet, to the south side of the river through the line ranch of Henry Deacon one-third of auiile to Mick IloelJ creek ford,' From which it is easily seen tnat j where n liU-ioot, briiigo will nave to tie 'lowers is one of tlie best things I put in. i lien ou up tlio nvjr tlirongu Robbed Roddy's Roost.
