Knrron: leaving F.ugono City tho ' ad enters a broken, hilly country, mil atoning aronnd a mountain spur follows, up jibe valley of tlio Coast Fork of tho WH'iam- tto ilver. This valley Is narrow but con tains qutto a largoquantlty of tine narlo'iltur l laud, mostly undor cultivation. Tailed in by mountain and traversed by tl'io rail -road, It Is very pleasant valley. Cottage Grove Is -22 miles tip tho Coast Fork from 'Eugene. It is In a pretty Rood place, and wilt makoqiiltc a bur); if tho cltfcitis m.iiiAgo It right. This place contain about flft'wu fam ilies, a postofllce, storo or two, flouring mill, tc. Tho Coast Fork valleyo nro spB rsely t tied however, and rosldentH toll mo t.hat thora Is enterable land to bo found lioro that Is do sirable. The road Is very Rood all ths way up this stream, except in a few places. There Is spleridld timber in largo ntt'tHy, nni1 un limltod water power to saw it. Six credit miles above Cttltago Grove, Mr. C. Johnson has found on bis place n voin of coal, a samplo of wbloh I send, but lias nst prospocted It sufficiently to ascertain ltsqu.intlty. Indica tions of coal are said, by the sottlerH, to bo frequont on this stream. I im somo of thorn, and am of tho opinion that there is coal there in plenty. A. COAST rOKKKl; WHO RKAlS TIIK "KAIt JlKr.." Stopping at the houso of well-to-do farm er for dinner, I thought to do n little stroko of business, and so, after dinnor was eaton, ad we were enjoying a -quiet llttlo chat,l brongbtup the subject or the papor. 'Wall,-1' said the farmer,-"I llko tho papor. One ofi-my nabors takes It have seed it lien." "Would he subscribe? ipclco only (3 por year." "Wal,' no; gnesa not. Money is mighty akace, and my nabor takes It and I can got to read hla'n, and it does mo all tho same." Ah! And so this little financial operation came lo grief. Over the mountain two miles of climbing and a eorrospondlng down.prudo, and you are in tho Finr-qua country. It Is not a val ley, but a succession of llttlO'valleys and big bills. Ths hills generally having tho host of it. Some of tho hills are bare of timber and covered with what they coll aros. Tho rest re timbered with tlr and serubby oaks, of the Black Jack persuasion, which do not ap pear to be wcrth much excopt for fuel. There is much good grain laud; and I saw, in the pleasant Yoncalla valley tho home of the celebrated Applogato family as Hue wheat as I vver saw In tuy-llfo. Tho laud ultable for tho plough ia very clean; noth ing on it except the glass beforo-tnentloued, which Is eight Inches to a foot, high, white, .dry, and to all appearance dead. From Yoncalla valley It is ton miles overa big, long hill to Old Oakland. Jt U in its do- cadonce; contains, perhapw, ouo huudred people, a mill, and a store or two. It is situ ated on a bill'Bldo, in a Dlack Jack grovo,and is not particularly' attractive. New Oakland tho oll'sprlnc-of old Oakland ad the railroad town Is a mile further on. It U in a low, but'dry and opon plaoo; has it business aspect, -aud perhaps ono huudred ad tiny people. Its youthfclueus .is very apparent. Most of tho uoumw havo a new look, are guiltless of wcatbor-bourdic),', and xto smell of new ptlnt ervade tho attnos rthore. Ten miles further on is Wllbcr-nn.eJuoa-tlonal Iottu of half a dozen Iioum and an Academy ruu by tho M. K. Church. An ad ditional building Is being erected for their tue, and the facilities of tho school is being greatly Increased. Dr.AVm. Orubb la located Jiere, has quite a nice store, and is prejurbg to bny and ship grain. Across the North Umpqua river and tho "Big Btlckey" to Itoseburr, It is eight tnllus. The famous "sticky" land) or this region .i peculiar black soil, found both in the low land and on the hill-sides. It is Ary now, but in winter would appear capable of miring down a duck. I wtut through Roaeburgat two-forty gait, but looked back at the town from the top of the hill on the other slde.and was favorably im preawd with its appearance. II contains urobablt 00 Inhabitant. Beyond. through more black, stlckv land, for four miles or so, the road is graded around the mountain side, on the east bauk f the Mouth Umiqua. It is nicely graveled and a first rate road. In one place the road ruus around a mouutaln cpur and literally overhangs the river. From Hoseburg to Canvonvllle is ST wile. overa good road and through a tine po.'Mon or country.

Hull fell as shot from n tower, vertically, nud In such profusion that In loss than half an hour tho ground wns covered to tho depth of llvo or six Inches. Tho storm hnd passed, tho earth was covered with a heavy carpet of snowy white, and all nature as quiet as midnight, whon, as tho farmer walked forth to view tho destruction ol his beat-Held, he heard unu sual thundering sounds issuing from tho canyons and gulches; and, upon looking around, beheld a rush of waters, ball, rock, drift-wood, etc, coming down llko some foaming cataract, clearing ovorythlng In Its course. Upon reaching the alluvial bottoms, where a half hour before flourished tho veg etable garden, these waters leaped their bauks and burled, with esrth and gravel, tho already demolished plants, drain, vhleh was ripe and roady for Ihn sickle, was thresh ed as completely by tho hall storm as though It had passed through ft threshor.
