EDITOR Orkox Scott: While passing through Sparta on my way to the "Horn of Plenty," I could not help compute the appearance of that town where the heathen Chinee has always been tolerated, with Cornu copia, where he has never had a rest ing place. 1 apeak not of the merit of the town or the mines, but there is a something indescribable in the inllu enco1 secret, atmospheric, baib.irie and antagonistic to Caucasian life, in the very piesouce of the sons of the celestial kingdom. The tramp, tramp, tramp of wooden shoes, the scent of j Mr. Samuel IJullcgo has moved back the sleepy drug, the cordal appendage-! to the Park again, lie can't stand the lengthened out like a hull-whacker's Powder river country, whip lash with oiled silk, ullj suggest I our school is progressing nicely, a period back of white civilisation j Miss Sadie Atkins is a splendid teach when the almond-eyed beauties to ob- vr. tain roast pork, used to burn their neighbor's! premises with their porcine occupants, seething and crisping in the flames. No Chinaman ban ever been permitted to stop over at Cornucopia. A herd of them once reached Allen town, but being prossingry invited, turned and lied down the gulch, and none of them havo ever returned. Sparta has nevertheless a future which only awaits to be crystalled by the. development of the two Pittburg9. Capital has been directed thither, and with it havo gone men of active, push pushing temperaments. From that point to Sanger and East Eaglo it is but fourteen miles' in a northwesterly direction towards which tho Sparta ' piosjiectors havo turned their foot- tops. Lately two of them, Judd Cook and .John Younger, near the Sullivan property, discovered a ledgo which they named the Gold Mint. This is ono of tho richest mines in frco gold that has been discovered in that vicini iy. One hundred and thirty-five dol lars in free gold was the reported as ayancc. Its location is about six miles west of 'Cornucopia. Roth Cook and Younger are now camped on the ledge, and very properly feel satisfied that they have found a homo stake. They are down thirty-live feet on tho ledgo with no signs of decrease in val ue of richness of ore. Mr. Aldorslv has examined tho Mint, and as ho as a 'freo gold" man, is well nlcasid with the showing. Tho Sullivan properties near by, owned by Dr. W oods and others, aro also frco gold veins, which havo boon worked for some time. The placer initios of Urown and Dill, located on .hast. J'-aglo, give promise ol hemg extensive. In Mr. Dills cabinet in linker City can bu seen somo of the dust more like nuggets than dust. i ins region ot country, Having a circle of lifty miles in circumfeience, with Cornucopia as its center, embra cing Sparta, Sanger and the Eagle (hstiiets, must sooner or later come to the front of mining districts. The ex perts who havo glanced at this and surrounding localities all pronounce it remarkablo for quantity of gold that has found a resting place, both in the gravel beds and in rock in place, and wonder is wiiv it lias not been sooner and more systematically developed. RAD DIN. SCOUTLETS. North Pownuit, Oct. 22, 18S5). High up in the mountains back of orth Powder lies the North Powder lake, sorono and beautiful. The iish are plentiful, the scenery grand.

Tho late showers havo started tho grass, and the hills look quite greon. The preachers still leave tho Park out in tho cold. Thoy can't blame us if we think there is no room in the mind of man for providence or chance. The facts and force governing thought aro as absolute as those governing the motions of tho planets. A poem is produced bv the forco of nature and is as necessarily and naturally produced as mountains and seas. You will seek in vain for a thought in man's brain without ils ellicient cause. Every mental operation i.s the necessary re sult of certain facts and conditions. Mental phenomena are considered more complicated than those of mat ter, and consequently more mysterious. Reing m6ro mysterious they aro con sidered better evidence of theexistonco of a God. Is'o ono infers a God from the simple, from the known, from what is understood, but from the com plex, from the unknown and incom prehensible. Our ignoranco is God ; what wo know is science. A few quostions to tho young men : What are" you hero for? Are you sat isfied with yourself? Do you pay your way Are you in demand? Aro you in debt? hero aro you going? Aro you a fool?

Editor Okcuon Scout: Your correspondent left Union on the 10th inst,, bound for Enterprise, where wo arrived on the 17th inst., af ter a very pleasant trip. Tho roads are in very good condition and ono can travel in a private conveyance in and out of Wallowa county now with out experiencing tho excruciating sore ness which inevitably followed a trip into this section a year or so ago. Wo found tho notorious Wallowa hill in a much better condition than it has ever been before, and tho careful and pains taking manner which the work has been done is creditable to tho superin iendeut, N. Schoonover. The now bridge being built across the Wallowa river by Union and Wal lowa counties, is Hearing completion and when finished will be tho finest bridge, in either of said counties, as well as the costliest. Tho work done in the Wallowa can yon has improved tho road greatly, but it is certainly a great oversight in tho superintendent of tho work in not providing tho very necessary drains and culverts, which, in a great many places have been omitted, but no doubt till tho work has been done that tho money appropriated would pay for and tho road now through the can yon is comparatively in excellent con dition. The Island City M. & M. Co's store in Lower valley is well located and seems to bo doing a largo business. Lostine has improved but very littlo in tho last live years, and lost its op portunity in failing to secure tho county seat, although it is surrounded by a scope of very lino fanning coun try and will always bo a fair trading point. Enterprise, which is now only about two years old, is in a healthy condi tion, has niado rapid growth and is still growing. Tho grist mill at this point owned by tho Enterprise Milling Co., is turning out a good article of flour, receiving most of its wheat from tho Indian valley and Cricket Hat country. Tho mill pays 70 cents per bushel for wheat and retails flour at $1 per sack. Tho most imposing structuro in Enterprise is tho two-story biick built and owned by the M. cfc M. Co,, of Island City, in which is tho county court room and ollices of the various county officials of Wallowa, county. Tho court room is neat and commodious and is furnished to tho county at a nominal rent. Tho na tional bank with W. R. Holmes as cashier, is doing a large and safe busi ness. Court convenes hero on Monday tho 2 1st inst. with thirty-six civil and criminal cases on tho docket, and if Judge Fee pushes business hero as ho did at Union recently, tho docket will be cleared in ono week's time. While a great many people horo in Wallowa havo suH'ored to a greater or less extent from this season's drouth, still a great amount of hay and grain has been raised, and tho people will weather thiotigh and come out on top if piovidenco will only occasionally give them a good crop season.
