Joseph Blower and sons Zeb and Ce
cil of Mill 4 were in the city Tuesday
with their season's clip of wool, which
they sold to Gardner & Avery for 20
cents per pound. Mr. Blower also
brought to The Leader office some
samples of his fine seedling peaches
and plums. The peaches are large,
juicy and beautifully colored, some of
them measuring exactly three inches in
diameter. While all parts of Lincolu
county are not adapted to peach cuture,
Mr. Blower's success demonstrates what
can be done under favorable conditions,
and should encourage many of our
farmers to devote a liitle time and
space to this delicious and popular fruit.
The seedling plums ace of medium size,
but of u decidedly rich flavor, superior,
we think, to most of the well-knowu
varieties.

Lincoln County Timber.
A special from Independence to the
Oregonian, dated August ?0, says: -
The surveying party of the S. Chap
man Lumber Company that has been
in the Coast Range Mountains since
May 28, completed its task today, com
ing out a point no one guessed. The
survey as completed today iuterseets
the Southern Pacilic scarcely half a
mile south of Independence, near the
old racetrack. The Kurvejing crew,
comprising 15 men, is in charge of En
gineer L. M. Rice.
Tho timber found in the Siletz basin
was a revelation to the party, mauy of
whom are experienced timber men and
surveyors. J. hero is enough timie"
in tho Siletz country, says Chief Engi
neer Rioe, to last 50 years after it is
made accessible by rail. The route ter
minating at Independence Is a very
feasible one and, according to the sur
vey, it is not orer 45 miles into the
heart ot tho rich Siletz basin.
Terminating here, timber over the
proposed route could be handled by rail
or river, aud the Southern Tactile is
just completing a spur from within a
few rods of where tho survey cudel
today into the bod of the river. A road
over this survey would also afford a
short cut to Newport

Woo Suno, China, July 23, 1901.
Dear Folks, One and All:
Your very welcome letter of June 12
was receiyed ou the 18th of this month,
and you can just imagine how glad I
was to hear from home, for this was
the firt mail we have had since Juno 3.
We are still tt Woo Sung, and expect
to remain until September 1; then we
will work south. This is the great ty
phoon season, and vessels don't monkey
around much where they are. The
Formosa chunnel is very bad at thi
time of tho year, and there is no nea
room in thero. A ship has to faco any
storm it may run into, while in the
open ocean it has a chance to turn tail
and run. I whs afraid I would not get
to seo Shanghai, as the water is too
shallow (or tuo ship 0 get there. It is
only 18 miles from here, but wo can c,
by rail. On the 4th we played at night
in the Astor Hotel tho biggest hotel in
tho city-atid we had a prettv nice
time. Last week wo played again at a
private residence in Shanghai. Wo
had all our exponses paid, such as rail
road and hotel faro, and were served a
fine dinner, in first-class style.- Shang
hai is a beautiful city, from what little
I have seen of it For hiimlrmla f
miles in the interior the country is as
level as a fluor. The city is nice and
clean, except in the old Chinese quar
ter. Everything is dull here-nothing
doing. My, but timo goes slow ! not a
thing to do but oat and sleep and watch
dirty Chinese pas's by the ship. I want
lo bo killed if ever I am fool enough to
be caught in Woo Sung again.
July 20 Since writing tlm ah..,. .....
have all had a good liberty; we got 4U

on iho station. Th m,vi
1 1 yon b Kil
the city lias uhout 500,000 population,
but tho old walled city of tho Chinens
is said to have over n million. They
cau't count thoin all. I was iu the old
walled city a littlo distanco. One ban
to have a guide to go in. If yon didn't,
yon wouldn't get out alive. Tho streets
are not more than live feot wide, and
the dirt aud fllih and smell are some
thing torrible. I don't seo how tho
people can live. Well, they don't live.
They are like a lot of Filipino hogs
tho more filth, tho better they like it.
We wont through a lot of op'um dens,
and thero is whuro you seo the misery .
In tho modern part of the city every
thing is very fine nice, wide, wcil
pnvod streets and One stone and brick
buildings. They also havo a very good
band (.'io nien nearly all Filipinos.
They are paid by the city and nlav
concert every day. The chief-of-nolico
here is an ex bluejacket of tho United
Statei navy, named Murphy. He has
a fine job aud good pt,y.
Now I had better close this lut tir.
for it is very hot, and makes niu fuel
lazy. I will try to do better next time,
(iood-byo for this time. Write often
