Our attention has been called to
fact that a better road ought to be
fia:
eoiHtnioted up the bluff at this city, at
l -.ist one hundred times per annum, since
we c.uiie here, but we have rarely spoke
"f it. through the paper. Now we are sat
islwd that public sentiment is lipe
t o-agitation upon the subject, and we pro
p'.'e to begin. A good grade cau be
m lie on .Sixth street, from Main to the
vtminit. and now is ihe time to take the
matter into consideration. If it is left un
til the liailroad is completed it will be a
liWi ult thing to do. but at this particular
.I'.ineture it is very easy of accomplishment.
H'ork done upon the Uailro-.d shows that
it would not be a very hard job' to build
' and blast out. a f0 foot street at the
1'! ice indicated, if taken hold of now. In
t!i s nutter both hy and County should
become interested parties as it will be of
great importance to both. As soon as the
ctrs are running it will be unsafe for
te.mii to travel tiu old road, and a thor-ou-hfare
over the bluff will bo indispens
able. We shall refer to the subject again
l.'-xt week. In the meantime we hope to
see some enterprising citizens takx; the
'jn.'sHoa into consideration, and make suit
able representation to the City Council
and County Commissioners.
Lost Riveu. The natural peculiarities
of this State hive been the sub ject of many
".aboi-ed urticles, and will for years to como
attract the attention of wise men. The
Cascades of the Columbia, the Dalles, the
J .ikes in thv desert, and upon the summit
"t oar mountains, the wonderful lake of
Jackson county, etc., etc.. all afford food
for the Indent ot nature. We have of
hue had our attention directed, more than
casually, to that region of Oregon south of
this and east of the Cascade range, west of
the ldue Mountains. bordering upon Cali
fornia. We have, come to beleive that it
js almost as fertile a plain as the Wallamet,
wlueh is the best body of land west of the
Uocky Mountains, beyond all doubt; ami
".vo beleive that the real diamond of the
Peseif' maybe there found. Ve have
this week boon interested in a conver
sation upon south eastern Oregon
with Mr. John Mehlrum of this city, who
has just returned from a summer's 'expe
dition in the capacity -of Government le
nartmont Surveyor, under Hon. J t
Tlioninson. in the Lost River region whoro
he has laid off eight tow nships of land, and
another party laid ott much more. Lost
juver. irom which me region derives its
designation, is in itself u great -natural
curiosity, it lias its rise m a group of
sjinngs which are scattered over a narrow
s-cope ot country about .) miles southeast
! Ft, Klamath. The river averages from
zhl to ten feet in depth, by 128 feet in
width, and lows for nlistance of 25 or 30
miles through a fine agricultural valley of
about three miles average width, then is
in Tule lake, with no visible outlet.
Tins valley Mr M. concedes to be well
adapted to stock raising or farming. On
" Link river.'" connecting the upper and
lower Klamath Marshes, several settlers
h ive located. On lower Link river a saw
miii is about ready for operation. At the
lower ferry, on Link river, is a good
e mafry store, under the proprietorship of
Mr. George Xonrse. Sutler at Klamath.
Here Mr. Meldrnm purchased potatoes,
averaging three-fourths of a pound each,

Plate Glass Fkoxts. The contrast be
tween a business building with a plate
glass front, and one such, as we hate gen
erally seen in Oregon nntil the present
season, is remarkably striking. Portland
is indebted to Mr. John Xestor for intro
ducing the plate glass style of architect
ure into that city just at a time w hen it
was most needed, as the costly structures
of this year attest. Salem, through the
same influence, has modernized the ap
pearance of her business fronts to an
amazing degree but there is room for the
contrast to be made in Salem, on houses
put up A. D. LStiS. The dingy fronts of a
brick block on Commercial street, iust nn-
positc and below Moores' block, and still
farther down, are in strange contrast to
the fronts of a few plainer buildings on the
street leading past the Capital Hotel.
How any man of taste, having money to
expend in buildings, can put tip with iron
shutters any longer, is a mystery to us.
We hope that no new buildings in Oregon
City will ever be made to resemble tbe
old style. Mr. Geo. Marshall, of Cane
mab. has just had completed, on the cor
ner of First and Maiu streets. In this city
a frame building about 2ox0. one story
only, which, having a plate glass front
sets all other fronts in the city at a dis
count. Piute glass for buildings is im
ported from Europe. No manufactory
exists in the United States, and the trade
has assumed immense proportions since
1819. Glass is also being extensively
used now in slabs for flooring, and side
walks even, combining as it does greater
strength than the ordinary York flag re
cently and for years in use, with the addi
tional advantage of conveying light.
About twenty-five years ago a supply of"
such slabs was required for the purpose
of flooring a palace of one of the native
Princes of India, but the excise restrictions
then prevailing precluded its supply from
England at less than thirty shillings per
foot; it could now be afforded at three
shillings to four shillings. The successful
application of glass also to the sheathiu;
of iron ships, as recently tested in fb
lioyal Navy, and the consequent freedom
from the incrustation inseparable from
both both wood and iron, indicates a new
and important opening in the farther pro
gress ot the trade. In fact, its true posi
tion has yet to be attained, when the re
sources of this country have stimulated
that more full development of which it is
susceptible, and Great Britain shall, as the
author of the freedom of this industry pre
dicted, " supply the whole world."
Eight Hocks. While the recent enact
ment of Congress that government em
ployees should work eight hours per day
instead of ten has gone into active opera
tion there is no uniformity in the construc
tion placed upon the law, as regards pay.
by government agents; and where the pay
has been reduced in proportion to the re
duction of time, intense disgust has been
created. In places where the pay has not
been reduced, laborers have been anxious
to work the other two hours for increased
pay but have not been permitted, the very
pertinent and proper reply being made to
them that Congress probably enacted the
law upon representations ot" labor associ
ations, that eight hours per day was as
much m any man ought to work, that he
could do as much in eight hours on an av
erage as in ten. and that to pay increased
wages for ten hours would demolish the
principal of the movement entirely. In
some cases, when government work is ur
gent, two gangs of men are employed, one
working from 4 o'clock a. m. till noon,
and the other from noon till 8 r. m. It
wiil e 1 tng be evident to the most obtuse
that the whole eight-hour movement is nn
effort to compel increased pay for work;
that is. to make that a matter of compul
sion Which should always be a matter of
compact. The only query ir, that mechan
ics who clamored for the enactment af the
eight hour law could not see these " beau
ties '' beforehand.
'3- Newspapers, by en'.mireitisf tire
value of property in their neighborhood.
and giving the locality in vhieh they are
published a reputation abroad, benefit all.
particularly it they are merchants or real
estate owners, thrice the amount yearly of
the sum thev pay for their support. Ie-
ides. every spirited citizen has a laudable
pride in having a paper of which he is not
ashamed, even though he should pick it
up in New York or Washington. A good-
looking, thriving, live newspaper helps to
sell property, gives character to the lo
cality, and in all respects u a desirable
public convenience. If, from any cause,
the matter in the local or editorial columns
should not be quite up to your standard,
do not cast it aside and pronounce it of no
iceonnt, until you arc satisfied that there
has been no more labor bestowed upon it
than is paid for. If you want a good read
able sheet, it must be supported. The
local press is the power that moves the
people.-5

j?S3 There is in the show window of the
office of Messrs. Fuller & Ferry, Portland,
a collection of coins which for variety sur
passes anything we have ever seen. It
consists of the coinage of all denominations
in the different mints of the United States,
and of almost every other country on the
globe. Some of the specimens are very
old. as shown by their dates. One is sup
posed to have been made prior to the year
1400. as it bears- no date, find coins were
not dated before that time. Several
learned 'gentlemen have examined this
specimen, but none so far have been able
to translate the inscription which it bears.
There is also a fine collection ot medals,
silver and gold, also displayed, and a
metal plate on which is engraved the
Declaration of Independence. The entire
collection is worth examining.
JUS" Our attention has been directed to
the loss which is sustained by taking mu
tilated currency at its face value. It does
not seem to be generally known that
mutilated legal tenders lose in Value ac
cording to tlie size of the part torn off or
destroyed. Thus a $50 greenback, with
a fifth of it torn off. would only bring $40,
and, is consequently worth no more. We
direct public attention to this matter, that
those receiving torn bills may not lose by
taking them at their face.

rpHE FOLLOWING LETTERS FROM
L Well-known physicians and individuals
show the estimation in which this celebrated
preparation is held by those who have used
them.
FirrsnrRG May 10, 1SC6.
Messrs. Hostetter A Smith Gentlemen:
During a v'-sit in the West last Fall. I con
tracted chills and fever, which brought me
to my bed, and finally terminated in typhoid
fever, and confined me to my room for sev
eral months, during which time I was so
prostrated that I almost despaired of ever
recovering health; having entirely lost my
appetite, for days not being able to eat a
morsel ", added to which I was much dis
tressed with a reeling sensation in my head,
and passed many sleepless nights all from
debility caused by my prostrate condition,
brought about by the fever. At this stage
of my condition a friend recommended me
to ue your celebrated Stomach Litters ; but
being morally opposed to the use of stimu
lants in any form, I at first declined, but
afterwards yielded my prejudices, and after
the medicine for several weeks as directed,
my appetite returned, and with it I am rap
idly regaining my former strength and
vigor. My sleep (from the loss of which I
had suffered much ) has never been better
than it is now, and the reeling sensation
(bciire alluded to) has entirely left me. My
bowels, which were much constipated anj
irregular, arne now quite natural, and, in
f.ict, I am glad to say that I feel myself a
new man, and tender you this testimonial of
my appreciation, iu order that othrs suffer
ing as I have may avail themselves of its
virtues; which prejudice prevented me from
enjoying for so long a period. I may also
add tnatmy physician, utter seeing the ben
eficial eflcct 3our litter3 had, recommend
that I use them regularly.
Yours respectfully,
E. BORNE, 43 Market street.
PiTTsnrRo, Sept. 4, 10'".
Messrs. Hostetter & Smith, Pittsburg, Pa.
Gents I think I am only doing the part
of a good citizen when 1 testify to the great
benehtj received by me from the use of your
Stomach Bitters during the last live years.
Sojourning for a shoittime in the oil re
gions, iu 1861, Iliad a severe billions attack
which, in coonection with dyspepsia, left me
in a very weak coudition. I was udvised
to try your Bitters, and, having procured a
bottle, found that they worked like a charm
upon me, eight pounds having been added
to my weight iu the space of one week, and
and new life seemed to have been infused
into my svstem so much so, that I have
been induced to use them every Summer
since that time. As a tonic, I think they are
invaluable. Tqis Summer, having a similar
attack (and as before, much reduced), al
though under the treatment of ou A No. 1
physician, I was again obliged to have re
course to the Old Bitters, and with the same
good result, having gained sir pounds with
in a few days. I purchased a half dozen
bottles a few weeks since, and propose to
use them regularly as a tonic. Wishing you
every success. I leraain
Yours, gratefully, WM. MILLER.
Messrs, Hostetter A Smith Gents : It is
with the greatest pleasure that I recommend
your Stomach Hitters to the public. I think
it thest Hilter of tbe day. It is especially
adapted to the South and West, where bili
ary derangements of the liver are prevalent.
Teu years experience in the use of com
pounds as curatives, compels me to give
your Hitters the preference that its popula
rity merits.

Messrs. Hostetter A Smith Gentlemen:
For a long time I have been atibcted with a
disordered stomach, and was nnible to at
tend to any business. I was advised to use
your Hitters, which I did, they proving of
great benefit to me. I believe that had it
not been for them I should have been in my
grave ere this. I write not only to testify to
the virtue of "our Hitters, but also to have
you ship me two dofcen as soon as possible,
as I am now keeping a store.

Messrs. Hostetter A Smith Gentlemen:
I have received so much benefit from using
yotir Hitters that I feel in duty bound to give
my testimony to their great yirtue. I have
been in very poor health for more than' two
years atllicted with indigestion and loss of
spirits. I tried a groat many medicines,butf
tailed to tind any relief. Finally I was per
suaded to try your Stomach Hitters and
found my health greatly improved. I con
tinued to use them for some time, and was
restored to perfec t health. I make this state
ment for the benefit of those who arc suffer
ing with a similar disease.

Such is the tenor of the correspondence
received by almost every mail at the manu
factory at Pittsburg. The foregoing letters
are given merely as specimens orits general
character, and as valuable information fur
nished by those who suffer. It is not neces
sary at this late day to publish elaborate
testimonials as a means of pushing this great
National Specific. It has obtained a firm
hold on the confidence of the public, and
reached its present position as a Standard
Preparation of the best class, through the
legitimate medium of experimental demon
stration. 2fo One ventures to impugn its
medicinal merits. They are everywhere
confessed.
