E ditor T idings :—Our road question has been permittee! to rest during the fall and so fur during the winter, owing to a lack of developments in that direction, but it seems to me as though we at least should organize, and be ready for active operations in the spring. Our Crescent City frieDds have taken the lead by exploring a new route from that place to .Waldo, which they say will be ouly about 45 miles iu length, with a grade of not more than one foot to the rod in any part, which will allow a four-horse team to haul from 50 to 60 hundred at a load with ease. We of thia vicinity have also exam ined a pass over the mouutaiu between here and flicker creek, w hich would shorten the distance between Jackson ville and Waldo about 15 miles, aud be at least as good as the prt-beut route, via Siate creek. There is already a I good road the whole way, with the ex ception of about 8 miles of mountain which is uot bud to build a road over. There is another pass over the same mouutaiu which is lower but farthtr around, which we have not jet ex plored thoroughly, but expect to do so soon, as the extra distance way be more than compensated by easier «lades and cheaper cost of construc tion. The building of this road iu counectiou with a new one to Crcsceut City, will make the distance from Jacksonville to navigable water about 90 miles, where we may Lave an even show with the rest of the world. 1 would suggest that a meeting be had of those friendly to the scheme, and a corres pondence opened with our CretceLt City friends ou the subject. I see that our friend “Mack” calls us *‘inaniaca" ou the road question. Well, he is a bachelor, and the road doesn’t run past his house. A. W. ♦ ♦- OREGON SI MMER. OREGON AS SEEN BV A CALIFORNIAN When one returns from a trip to Or egon and remarks that he has just vis ited the finest country on the faoe of the globe, people open their eyes with astonishment and ask you where in California you have spent your years. Then you hear such a tirade about “web feet” and “moss backs” that yon are willing to give up the argument with out being half convinced, rather than hear the pouty words and bear the un satisfied looks of your dear neighbors. Now, Oregon has just what California lacks, a plenty of rain. Rain, Olbeau tiful rain, give us bountiful showers of rain here and we can command the wealth of the world. Leaving California with about an inch ot dust on my back, I airived in Portland and Salem fiud- ing mud nearly ankle deep. The flocks aud herds were luxuriating on pastures of red clover and timothv, and the green fields looked very cheerful as compared to our dry, dust-covered hills and valleys at this season. The farmers ure busy threehiug their stack ed w heat, also plowing and sowing,and those who are farther advanced with their full work have the pleasure of seeing their wheat out of the ground, growing finely. Oregon is u timbered country, jet there are large prairies of rich-, loamy, beautiful soil. These prairies skirted with oak, fir, ash aud maple timber, together with orchards loaded with ripe fruit, give the coun try a beauty iu autumn which would be haul to rival. About half way be tween Portland auu Salem,in the beau tiful Willamette vallev, is Barlow’s prairie. Here are the homes of real luxury, where Nat are’s best gifts are dispensed aud appreciated, aud where the least effort of the husbandman is richly repaid iu the bouuties of the golden harvest.— It., in Rural Press. FRUITS OF OREGON. Westtrn Oregon excels as a fruit country. No finer fruit, of the kinds raised there, is produced in any quar ter of the globe. Fruit-trees will grow from six to eight feet the first year, bear fruit-the second, third and fourth years according to variety. They thrive in the valleys, as well as on the foot hills, and up to a considerable height in the mountains, but especially iD sheltered, dry soil. At one of the last State lairs, yeaning prune, peach, and plum trees, eight feet four inches high, and yearling cherry-trees seven feet high, were exhibited. Apples, pears, plums, and cherries grow iu such abundance that trees have to be invariably propped up to pre vent them from breaking under the weight ot fruit. The crops have never failed iu the Willamette valley, though Datura ly the quantity raised varies iu different years. The apple-worm and the curculio are uuknowu, and so is tht pear blight. The fruits named all at tain an unusual size, aud fiue color and fiavor. Finer plums and cherries uDd prunes are not grown in France. Of apples, the leading varieties are ytllow Newton Pippins, bright red l^ppins, I Russetts, Spitzbergen, Wiuesap, Bald win, white Paruiain, blue Parmain, Virginia Greening, and Northern Spy. — 1 lull's (San Francisco) Land Journal. ------ ----------------- WHAT STANLEY HAS AFRICA. FOUND IN • A correspondent gravely asks ns what Stanley has discovered “in equatorial Africa.” It is possible that there may be others in the 3tme rttte of deplora ble ignorance, and wo will therefore briefly set forth the results of Mr. Stan ley’s three years of exploration—for we do not suppose that even our inquiring friend forgets that before that the young man had found Dr. Livingstone in that region. When Stanley started he described the work before him as that of finishing the labors of others, for mauy travelers bad preceded him into that country of danger and fascin ation, and seen parts of lakes and riv ers, without settling anything about their relations with each other or their importance to the world. Tiiesources of the Nile, the problem of ages, were yet unfound. No one knew anything about the Congo twenty live miles from the Atlantic coast. Nowbtanley has left very little undone of what be undertook to do. He discovered, in the first pl ¡ice, the farthest southern waters that con- tr.bute to the Nile; theShimeeyu river, pouring luto the Victoria Niyanz*from the south east. He for the first time circumnavigated the great Victoria lake, and followed up its great tribu tarv, the Kagera, on tile south-west, through its scores of Jakes. He has settled the puzzle of the Tanganyika, which Lad been considered by Living stone a reservoir of the Nile, and to which Lieut. Cameron had given an outlet through the Lukuga into the Lualaba; both these notions he proved wrong, and made it certain that the lake has no outlet, but is au inland lake of comparatively recent formation, which is risiug steadily and will one day make Qarneron’s belief true. And finally he has proved the Lualaba, which Livingstone felt sure was the Nile, to be instead the Congo, by fol lowing it from the center of the conti nent to the Atlantic—a wonderful voy age of over 2,000 miles aud through seven or eight degrees of latitude, crossing and recro3sing the equator, in deadly perils of disease, privation, trackless forests, unknown waters and fierce savages, which no other explorer had ventured to face, and which Came ron had shortly before turned away from. These are the principal geo graphical discoveries of Stanley, but to make a complete list of them would I take too much time and space. Pres ently Mr. Stanley will come home and publish a book, and then our friend can get the information in detail, with map.i, besides learning more about the various millions of Africans and the valuable products of the immense re gion he has given knowledge of to the world of commerce. Springfnbl RepuL- lican. The important, advantage that Ore gon ha'* over California in the matter of unfailing seasons has been well vent ilated and will be thoroughly under stood after awhile by immigrants seek ing homes ou this Pacific coast.. But another and equally important advan tage is tiie great mildness oi our sum mer.
