He informs the News that the set

county road established from Soda
Springs down the river to Silvies
valley, there to intersect the Harney
road. Beyond Soda Springs there
is a big mountain for teamsters to 1
pull up, and this same mountain
contain the worst part of the road
from here to Hums. There aro no J
settlements on the part of tho road
that would be abandoned, and sev

In the citv the scene is a wintry
one, indeed, but the majority of our
citizens are used to it and look for
ward to the prosperity it will brii g
to the mining mid stoct' industries,
providing water for the placer miner
und irrigation for the range and
firm. No serious results will follow
should the storm continue for some
time longer, since the stockman is
provided with an abundance of feed
for his herds. As a matter of fact
plenty of snow is what the country
needs to make it pross-rous the
coining year and judging from pres
ent indications we are fairly in it.
