The Home Dramatic Co. are exerting
every effort to make the coming play the
best they have ever produced. If it is as
good as several they have given in the
past they deserve a full house. The
company is practicing assiduously nearly
every evening and are assisted by Prof.
Wm. Rasmus, a finished actor, who will
take an important role. The part of
"The Unknown," is a mystery carried
even to the published show bills. He is
a pick-up, rejoicing in the nam de plume
of "Lonsdale-Hampshire," and even the
inquisitive and audacious reporter was
unable to learn' his identity. Of the
play itself, nothing . too commendable
can be said. It is a standard drama
which cannot fail to interest, having a
central plot, well sustained to the end.
There are thrilling climaxes, powerful
ragedy, irresistible comedy, love, bate,
adventure, bravery, villainy and friend-
yship in the "Confederate Spy" which no
one Bnouia law to witness. The box
sheet was opened this morning and good
seats will soon be scarce:

OREGON MEAT IN
ALASKA
The Colombia PacKlng Co.
Ship
Five
Tons to Juneau.
When the Regulator lethe dock this
morning she had on yboard five tons of
hams, bacon and lard marked "A. A.
Bonney, Juneau, Alaska." -
This shipment will
taken on boartTl
the cars at PortlaruKand go to Tacoma,
and from there by . ocean steamer to
Alaska. W-rrfle the shipment is an ex
periment, there is every reason to sup
pose it will be profitable. Juneau is the
most important commercial city in'
Alaeka. Practically he' great basin of ,
the Yukon is reacheiby but one route '
that via Juneaa-'EUld the Chilkoot pass
a route taken 'by fully ninety-five per
cent, of the gold-seekers of the vast in
terior. Juneau is the outfitting point,
the head of regular steamboat naviga
tion during the winter ' and spring
months. ' The town . Is well supplied
with hotels and restaurants, where
meals are furnished for 25 cents upward.
Juneau is the main supply point for the
interior. Here outfits are purchased for
the lone journey of 700 miles to Forty
Mile, and the principal supplies are
flour, bacon, beans, sugar, tea, ham,,
canned meats, rice, dried fruits and
coffee. It is a trip calling for Bupreme
hardihood. It is made over snow fields,
icy and steep mountains, frozen lakes
and rivers. Wood is Bcarce and storma
come suddenly and rage with fury.
Wherever possible hemlock boughs are
laid on the enow to a depth of a foot for
beds. At a place called Sheep camp is a
climb to be made of 8,500 feet, and for
600 feet of it every etep must be cut in
the ice, so steep that a person with a
ipack on his back must constantly bend
'forward to maintain bis equilibrium.
. Notwithstanding the hardships, suf
fering and misery attendant upon reach
ing the Yukon, there are thousands of
gold-seekera who annually make the
trip.
It is probable that some of the meat
which left The Dalles this morning will
be taken in packs by these men, but the
town of Juneau will in allffkelihood
consume the bulk of iMr. A. A.
Bonney Ielt yesterday" for Juneau,
Alaska, and if theyfnarket is satisfactory
further 8 hi pm ertfs will be made regu
larly. Previously the Columbia Pack-
ing Company has shipped their meats to
San Francisco, every steamer leaving
Portland for San Francisco during the
month of March, carrying some of their
meats and lard.
Another Road Improvement.
The conrt and county commissioners
believe in good county roads.. The new
grade as surveyed on 3-Mile hill was
estimated yesterday by Judge Blakeley
and Commissioner Darnielle to be five
inches to the rod, which is an ascent so
gradual as to be scarcely appreciable,
and is about the same as level for, travel
ing.. The present grade is three feet to
the rod. Work will begin next Monday
and will be finished in two or three
weeks. Some grabs are to be taken out,
and hand shoveling is to be done until
