Editor Ohkoon Scout:
We are and have been very regular
readers of your paper, It is at all
tim.is looked for with some degree of
interest. We have failed to notice any
communications from our little village.
Wo tiust yon may at some time in the
near future visit this point, which is
almost on the line of the O. R. it N.
Ii. R. eight miles north of Haker City,
and is situated in tho midst of one of
the best agricultural sections of Eas
tern Oregon.
Our citizrns are usually enterpris
ing, sober and industrious people. We
are Messed with a good blacksmith
shop, a general store, butcher shop and
it magnilicent Odtl Fellows' hall; in
fact, all the conveniences necessary for
supplying our immediate wants.
The crops of the Powder River Val
ley are now saved, and proved to be
good, even better than was expected in
the early part of the season.
We notice-in your Poeohontas com
munications that the Nelson mining
property has been sold to some Cali
fornia capitalists who will develop tho
property-more fully than it has been
heretofore. They propose and nro now
at work on their reservoir at the head
of the Auburn ditch. We of this val
ley feel some anxiety as regards the
disposition of their tailings when they
are running at full blast, as all of our
farms and gardens will be completely
submerged. We would respectfully
call the attention of this community
to the results of this mining, ns it is
situated at the south end of this val
ley and thete being a natural incline
from the diggings to our valley.
Mr. Henry Lee, who has been rep
resenting the Auburn Ditch Company,
for some months past, paid our citizens
a pleasant call this week, He seems
to be head and ears over in business.
We failed to get a glimpse of his his
majesty, as it was a very fllying busi
ness trip. We nderstand that tho
young man above referred to, has very
bright prospects ahead, for the coining
year 1SS8 will be a time for him which
will be memorably impressed on his
mind in after life. Yes, the coming
union with Miss will bo the most
important step of his life. He is a
model young man ; honest, industri
ous and economical, to even $7 worth
of corn and canned tomatoes as an
appetite appeaser for a month. lie
will make a model husband, and we
recommend him as a valuable addition
to any community he may settle in.
We propose sending him a new hat,
(charges prepaid) for a wedding pres
ent. We wfll not prolong our firnt letter,
as a good beginning is a poor ending.
Yours Respectfully.

From California.
Oct. 17, 1887.
Eiutok OiiKtiox Scotrr:
I received a copy of tho Scout yes
terday, the first I havo fooh since I
left Union, notwithstanding I learn
from reliable sources that it has been
sent to mo every week.
On my arrival in California 1 stopped
at a station called Mantague, and took
tho stage to Yreka, six miles distant.
I found that to boa quiet town of from
ten to fifteen hundred inhabitants, left
out by the railroad, anil had apparent
ly seen hotter days than at present.
A few days satisfied nie with that part
of tho country and on the 19th of Sep
tember I again boarded tho stago to
go some placo, not knowing exactly
where 1 would fetch up. On arriving
at the station I concluded as tho State
Fair was running at Sacramento to
ticket there. 1 arrived in Sacremento
on tho morning of tho 20th and re
mained until the 21th. Tho Fair was
certainly a grand success, tho display
in tho pavillion was far ahead of any
thing I havo ever seen. The display
of fruits, vegetables, grasses and grain
was simply immense. The pavillion,
taking all tho department, is probably
six times as largo as that of tho Oregon
State Fair and was full from ono end
to tho other. Tho exhibition of fine
stock was grand, and when on parade
reached almost around the milo track.
There was also some very fine racing.
The most interesting ono, to mo, was
the pacing raco whero Anuat, a four-year-old
colt, won, and went on a
square paco from tho score, novor
breaking, in 2 :15, almost shutting out
Killarnoy, who outpaced everything
there tho year before. I listened to
tho annual address delivered hy Mr.
Bud, of Stockton. Considering tho
time ho had to prcparo himself, I
thought it a Very ordinary effort, i
think wo havo Oregonians that could
do far bettor, in fact I don't believe
the people of California aro any smart
or than they aro in Oregon. 1 don't
think they aro any hotter looking,
anil they don't look as healthy as Ore
gonians, us a rule.
I took the early train from Sacre
mento and stopped off at Marysville
and "took iu" that town from 5 o'clock
until the 11 p. m. train came, which I
took for Chico. Marysville is a
town of about four or five thousand
population. There the orange, fig and
pomegranate grow and look very fino
in tho yardH, but the town is very low,
situated between tho Yuba and Feath
er rivers, necessitating their having to
keep tho water from running all over
town. From thero I went to Chico,
situated on tho lino of railroad and six
miles from Sacremento river, a very
nice town with a population, 1 think,
of about four thousand, though
they claim six. There is tho famous
Bcdwell ranch, extending from Chico
to the Sacremento river on tho west,
and north-east to the foot hills of the
SicriiiH. Ilere I was invited to a seat
in tho buggy of our old neighbor, J. G.
Childors, for a drive over tho ranch.
For miles and miles we drovo through
orchards of apple, poach, pear, walnut
and almonds. I think there is, all told,
about thrco thousand acres of orchard
on the place. This ranch is perhapK
tho best in tho state. About ono milo
from Chico, and situated on tho Bed
well ranch, is a remnant of a tribo of
Digger Indians, looked after and su
perintended by Mr. Bodwell who draws
hir regular salary from tho.govcrnmcnt
for his services. Here they havo thoir
school house, church and sweat houeo
(and by tho way I fonnd it no trouble
to sweat there without tho aid of a
sweat houso). Thoir burying ground
is in their yardH aronnd their houses
and once a year they Bond up an ofTerinj
to their departed. On the day I visited
the ranch tho Indiana were making;
preparations for their sacraflco. Cloth
iug of all descriptions from little chil
dren's to men's and woman's was hung
on poles over tho gravoa of those thoy
wero to, bo Bent up to. All this cloth
ing must oo now and bright, never
having been used. Whon everything
18 ready the torch is applied aud tho
articles burned over tho gravoa. Tho
timo sot for tho burning waa fi o'clock
next morning, that being a litto too
early for me, I did not witness tho fire.
It waa hot enough for mo thoro with
out any fire, with tbo thormometor
ranging from 05 to 100 in tho ahado.
On the 2nd of Octobor I took tho
train for Rod Bluff thinking I would
halt thoro a few daye, but ono day lot
me out. Thoy need not try to acaro
mo with Hell nftor spending a day and
two nights in Red Bluff. Tho samo in
situated on an ekvation overlooking
tho Sacramento river and a low valley
stretching away to the foot billa outho
opposite aide of the river, and prownte
a more lively appearance and busius
