Hoping-a low Items from this out of the way locality may Interest your renders, I will use tome of my leisure evenings to send tlicm to you. Tho tint thing that occurs to my mind relates to the vvny of gutting lrc. Ono starting from Snloni for Ochoco would naturally chooc tho Lebanon route, Judging from the mag nificent subsidy granted tho company by Congress, and the 1 00 jer wagon toll punctually collected at the gates, and would da-am of broad smooth and easy gradc,snfe bridge, well turnplked through swamps, and wcH cleaned through bruh nnil timber. lint these dreams liulo and lieeomo hid eous. Onco through tho gato one begins to turn and wind mound trees mid point, things Mug much a when thu red man owned It. Mo' Ilutto Is reached no small iniiuntaln Isolated so that the ro.ul could pass either ide ol It. Over It goo and down It goes, and ill) and down again until It requires nn extra turn ot the tern per screw to enable the best Matured man to stand it without boiling over ocealoii ally. Not only Is tho roid up and down mountains but It U through ru-lilng tor rents, ninong boulders halt ns largo ns the wagon wheel'. To climb the main moun tain. h6 has to divert himself nt nil loose Milliliter, cirrvlns fioill 000 to 1.200 ixniuil. which Is a largo livid for a good span of horse. This little 1111 is seven miles long, I hid nlmo-t said seven miles high. The grades arc so narrow and turn ouU !o few that even a slnglo horseman cannot pass a team, and when two teams meet tho only nltcrnntlvo U to cut limber ami mako ii staging over tho precipice. This would Iks wellonoiigli ll" men bad no rights In the milter. Hut the company was amplv paid to build a good road, and was by law required to make It so. There Is only ono good bridge on tho whole route. Down tho mountain to Flsli IjiUc, six miles, tho logs and brush have been cut out. so It U better for work being done and not much. Tho two mllo l.nvn lied around Fth Lake U ns roiiir.li as that mado classic by Capt. .I.ick, and Is tho sccuo of lllc granucu oiu inner in mi mis iau;;uui inountalns. solldlllcd. It would seem, when the molten ma was in ono of Its most ac tive moment ot evolution, Into sharp, an gular ridges, hole, lilts and yawning chasms. Sand mountain comes next, seven miles, of hcavv road, up hill every foot of It. Three miles is through sand six Inches deep, compocd of granulated tula, with occasional beds of lava. From the summit this way I ho route Is natural and easy If It was properly Improved. It reU as a heavy curso on Ihl section of country, as hair the laud that Is available within six miles ol lite road Is hold Irom the settler by this swindle of a pretense for a road. How this company got their grunt would puz zle any one but tho-o hmieat vjfkhil who examined the road and accented It as till ing the requirements ol tlw law. So com pletely outraged ono leels w ho has passed oyer this road that ho would donate freely to bring the company to Justice and de prive them of their munlllceiit franchise. Since I canto out last fall I him succeed ed in enlitlue onm of the old settler In bclialf of the North AintUm route. It Is of paramount Importance to this section ol country. Wo have u petition In circula tion to the Commissioner of WVeo comi ty, but there s very little Iwpu of their do ing anything Tor tills end ol the county. Aur measure that does not build up the Dalles can expect nothing. Hfim liking measures to oreanUe Ociioco county. If successful, you may exiect in to do some thing for that route, for our own lujre--t lies there. Thu people of tliA section are S leased with the energy with which old larlon ha moved In the matter. O. M. V. umr.u mow hkimatii. Klamath Auknct, Feb. a I, 1874. Y.v.

Wo Will now come to the naon whv Douglas county p'lys more taxes tnan Marlon the piescui year, luo reason is pi.tiu to my mind. Douglas has not bcu farming much until within the last vear or two.
