Two railroads were striv- broads, Or perhaps I should have aid these were the only two who were atall likely to succeed in getting any" of us, the Chicago and Milwaukio stud the Itock Island.

I believe many persons expected to see us in something like a "circus" or Mo doc Indian light, but in that they wero mistaken. But no matter what was ex- j3:ted, they treated us well. After we left Chicago- we were treated royally. ine Pennsylvania Jine gave us a special train of magnificent cars, all decorated with beautiful hothouse flowers, and on tlie sides of the train was a banner in 3ribed with the words, " Oregon Pio iieers," and to each individual was pre sented a lovely bouquet, and all along the route the finest meals that could bo got ten up were prepared for us. All other trains were switched that we might get over the road without delay, and the only wonder to me was that there was n ear, wheel left on the train when we arrived -at New York, for -wp rrs-Wl ko fast, making over nine hundred and lifty miles in thirty hours, and 1 almost v&pei:u:j io cee tne wnesis wern out. I have not time in tlm letter to tell of ail the wonderful sights and beautiful country we passed over, but it was a perfect E.Jen of beauty from Pittsburg to New York. At Philadelphia we were entertained as Oregon pioneers for the last tiTie. . Hern we had an elegant dinner awaiting us and the railroad company, in a ln?rritiful speech, made by John Watt, one of the omYials, took formal leave of us. ifm floIn vt.t,4 were: "And nowI Eiy to you, the pio neers of Oregon, wc have given to you iie best of attentions ever bestojved up on any other excursionist, and have been pleasantly disappointed in you, for vou have caused us tho least trouble of any train that has ever traveled over our road, and have seemed to appreciate our efforts in your behalf; and I will just say this to all of you, if you ever have occa sion to travel over ourroad, which you all know is the finest in the United otites, all you have to do i3 to say '1 am a pionbcrt' and you will be treated well i.fcd given & front seat in the nrncps. ion." This of course brought down the iiouso, and we went on "our way erfect Jy satisfied thai there was nothing like 4eing an Oregon pioneer. JIlLDEGARUE. BuaxY Caxyos, Baker Co. Oregox. OctoWr 5th. IS S3. jxa x cciieve tnere are out tew persons in the old Webfoot country, or may be an ColumbiaJ2col"ty that have visited this part of the state, it may be of some interest to the readers of your valuable paper, the Columdiax, to give a picture in geographical and geological respects. No other name was ever better fitted to a locality than the name of Burnt Can yon,'? because so far as visible, the sur face loots all over ns'if burnt up of e re- thing. In respect to the formation, for miles and miles around, so far as ODnor- tunity hai been for uie to see it, it is one oflhe wildest and grandest that the ofo- servers eye may meet. When 'I met the the railroader last Summer in Wyoming he usttd to say," Burnt River," but the river at present is a mere creek or brook and can be waded hi almost anyplace with boots on without wetting the feet. Bat however small this stream may be, it possesses some magnificence, for its walls rise in different-phve:43 to the height of fivo hundred feet in air, and so steep, that it 13 impossible for man to climb them Unless by wmdingup through the ravines If man is on top ief one of those hills the idea comes as if he stood in the midst of giants' castle?, w ith all their walls and towers for ages gone tumbled over with their splendor and might Farther off. fifteen miles to tlui South, the formation is somewhat 'differ ent If man stand again upon one of those high hills, and turns the gaze towards the west lo ! what a sight ! as if some eoloss.il plow with an almighty power had turned this spot of the earth's surface into parallel furrows not less than fiorn a hundred to a thousand feet idee?, , - People that live in Western Oregon may be forever content with their abun dant vegetation and water. Such is not the case in the Burnt River region. All these hills and all these canyons and ra vines are all barren ; no Tegetation, not once bunch grass as in other torrid re gions in Arizona. and New Mexico, only thin slender small "rasa which in some places seems tojgrow on the steep hill slopes If such plac?a aro like valleys or flats the sage .brush grows. Alonn Burnt River grew willow bushes with which the, inhabitants cook. Even so tb.8 Sfiake River which is close by here, is very sparsely lined with willow bushes. As near as I could observe the forma tion is of very old standing; the rock h the generol blue rock, and is of very hard quality. No shell and no fossi's appear in the cuts where we work at present; some crystal and some lime, e en some quartz are to be ea in tlie seams. Mineral jpeeimens can be'picked up every day; and probably one day this locality may be a valuable field for pros pectors. We have lately had some signs here of a -little " boom." One day hint week cne townxan lured a man to dig a cellar on the hillside. He had picked only a very few4 feet into thsj wall before lie found out, aa he believed, that there was gold ia the dirt, and when hs proceededfuither with his digging, he got his visitors to believe the same. So when they had been fully confirmed that there was gold irt the hill, it did not take a very long time before the rest of the boys were on hand and bad the whole hiil located. Thrco miles fromhemouthcf Birnt Canyon or Snake River is the new town Huntington, called from the present ranch-owner, situated in a small valley, three quarters of a mile in width and three quarters in length. Thi9 place is is the terniinu3 of tho U. P Co. 'a O. S. L., and at the same tho terminus of the O. N. Co.'s Road. Originally the 0. N. Co. 's ri:iht of road was to tho Siiake Riv er, or to tho mouth of Burnt Canyon, and the last-named Company had put ome heavy work on grading through the whole length of the Canyon. Now as the Snake JRiver at this place is pressed in very narrow furrow with steep mountains onbotb sides, there was no place for a station or meeting for two so big railroad lines, so the TJ. P. Com pany was compelled to buy out the oth er Company and . get. their road over to Huntington-. Thi3 place, small at it is, may after not a very long time be cov ered with hundreds of railroad cars when the U. P. Company's road is gra ded to the last crossing of -the Snake River on the mouth of Burnt Canyon, j The contractors are hard at work on the j last three-. miles with all their might and fore, and may finish the job in a couple of months Said Company's road is track-laid to the first crossing of the Snake River, thirty milc-3 west of the Boise River crossing. It would not take a very long time to track-lay the remaining forty-five miles, bat fcf the several crossings . ovr the river that have to be bridged. But as tho work at present is progressing, so it is to be hoped that after a few months the irjn horses, rolling and whisthug, from the East, will sound in Burnt Canyon. We have had here some fine weather last week, a perfect Indian Summer ; in daytime it has-been clea'rand pleasant, and in the night not cold. To-day how ever, the sky ha3 been cloudy and the wind rushing lown the canyon, and flapping the mauy tents, that line the narrow- stream from Huntington to Snake River. The few settlers who are in the country are awaiting with great expectancy rain. For weeks agone all the grass has been sun-burnt and faded away; the stock has been, driven out of country, except a few domestic cowa and horses. Such is Burnt River coun try at present ! . Van Joiinsox. ; Dr. E. McCabe, dentist, will bo at St Helens Monday Nov. 12th, and remain until Thursday Nov. 15th. Those de airing dental operations please call early, and make appointment LOCAL The dance at Thomas Cloninger'a was a great success, there were 44 numbers sold, the fare, .the music, the supper were all regal.

All you have to do is to start it, and then have a pair of pants or a new dress drop out all flounced and laced. Mr. Whitney is improving hifl stcck of goods all the time, and has ft big run of cu3tont.

He reports hi business as highly successful. He supplies St Helen mar ket with fish, fowl and deer meat v Mr. Waguer has prepared a mot ele gant map of Columbia City on the order of G. W.

Wo have received the Art Amateur for October. One article entitled " Bed room" is just healthful as well as sugges tive. So much of our happiness depends on bur burroundings, it is wonderful how people have neglected them. People decorate themselves, while their homes are like dens; it is not poverty that causes this but lack of taste, and simply because they do not know how. As a case in hand we will mention Mrs. Ben ham, she can make the roughest home Io6k like a palace," she possesses the pow ers of discrimination and combination.

He was furnished by tho railroa"d company with a sleeping car, adining car and a car for a sitting room, making three cars to convey this gentleman and family to Washington, where he goes to represent the state of Oregon. - The people along tho roqte can now see that Oregon is to be some pumpkins, and the state, accorded to toe distin guished representative of the people, by thr Northern Pacific railroad, shows how much that gentleman's ability is appre ciated.
