"Horse-Heaven."
The "Farmer"of the 9th inst.has the fol
lowing letter from Mr. J. 1J. Lewellen, of
Springwater:
As I have never seen any communication
from this section of Clackamas county, I
thought it might not be amiss to drop you
these few lines in regard to our commun
ity and things generally. Springwater is a
section of country almost unknown to a
great many of your readers, it being bet
ter known by the significant title of "Horse
Heaven." At first I will tell you where
the place is situated, afterward in regard
to its original name. It comprises a section
of country near the foot of the Cascade
range of mountains, bounded on the east
by the Clackamas river, on the west bv
Clear creek, making a ridge between the
two streams from the foot of the moun
tains to the junction of the two streams, a
distance of about fifteen miles, varying in
width from two to three miles, comprising
some of the finest lauds in this county, in
which thero are many good farms, the soil
being dry and rather course, of a dark
reddish color, and built on a good founda
tion of clay, with but few stone and no
gravel, making it without a doubt one of
the finest fruit countries in the world for
all fruits with the exception of peaches
and grapes. Also it produces the finest
quality of fall wheat, which together with
truit is the principal buslnessof the inhab
itants, the apples being of a quality adapt
ed to late shipments to the California mar
kets, which always has been a paying bus
iness, and in the future I think will still
improve. Among tne truit raising com
munity we notice tne nne orchards ot Car
roll Howell. H. Duboise, L. A. Lacey, E.
K. Lewellen, B. Tucker, and many others,
whose orchards have been bearing for 18
and 20 years, and look as fresh ana vigor
ous as thev did 10 years ago. There are
manv young orchards being planted this
winter, the principal parts being plums
and prunes and late winter apples.
The great drawback to this as well as
other places remote from railroad and riv
er communication is the almost impassa
ble condition of the roads. When will onr
Legislature cease its idle prattle about
laws which tend to benefit the few, and
give us some good, sound legislation in
this matter which will tend to build up
our country, make trade lively, and bene
fit tho whole people? Well 1 had almost
forgot to tell vou as I promised in the be-
? inning about the origin of the name
forse-lleaven. It is this: In the terrible
winter of T2 and '53, so well remembered
by many old settlers, one Jackson herding
a number ot horses lost a great many
After much search he found them sate ana
doing well here. After taking them away.
those that had straved came back here
immediately ; hence the appropriate name,

Damascus, March 4th, 1S77.
Mn. Enrron: Noting the fact that com
munications from this place to your valu
able iournal are ouito a raritv, we have
taken the matter in hand and will give
a brief note relating to an entertainment
iliven by the Damascus high school. Last
v ridav evening the residents ot the vicin
ity were called together bv the previous
announcement that an opimrtunity would
ik? aiionied them ot leholding the ama
teur etiorts of the juveniles connected
with this establishment of learnimr. The
attendance was large, in fact too much so
for the convenience of all. about three
hundred persons being present, which in
our opinion exceeited the capacity ot the
room m about the ratio of 2 to 1. Isever
theless, everything passed off as pleasant
ly as could be expected, nothing occuring
to mar the serenstv of the occasion, bar
ing the circumstance that wo were favor
ed (?) with the presence of some young
gentlemen;?) from Marshfield, whoTstren-
uously adhered to their motto ot making
themselves obnoxious to all as well as
placing themselves before the public in
the unenviable role of hoodlums of the
first water. Tho chief musician of the
evening was the lion. Charles lJolquist,
who performed on the accordeon in a
manner highly creditable to himself, our
self, and mankind generally, we were
not appointed critic, out our opinion is
that the alfair was a suocess. Much credit
is due the principal, Mr. Forbes, for the
manner in which he conducted the enter
tainment. We think all were well pleased
and can but place in accordance the ver
dict of We'cns.
Coprtiso Under Difficulties . A
young friend living about six miles from
this city sends us the following i A lively
young fellow residing in this neighbor
hood went to see his sweetheart recently,
as has been- his habit lor some time past.
This time he rode dad's high-mettled work
horse, and tied him up to eat pose nay
irom 10 a. m. until u p. m., wnen me
young man concluded to postpone his
love making until the next Sunday. When
ho got to where tho horse was uea, ne

loose, but. in fact, was tied lettr than
when he left him his head Deing tiea to
one post and his tail to another. The horse

it was hard for a man to do that without
cuttincr off some foretop and mane. The
saddlo was fastened on cood. but. from
some mistake, by the rider or shed tender,
it was on the wronsr way; the stirrups
were tied up most too short; the saddle
blanket being most too thin, some straw
had been nlaced under the saddle to save
the horse's back. The young lover had a

Found. M. G. Wills, in a letter to the
Independent of last week, gives the fol
lowing account of the discovery of the re
mains of vonnc Pfllahan- "The remains
of Clinton Calahan's son George, who got
iot j una ii, iso, while out hunting in the
iiioumains, were lound last Sunday bv a
little brother of the deceased, while tfav
ersing an old unused trail about a mile
east of the house. He discovered a shoe
in the first place, and soon after found
bones here and there. The boy ran to the
jiousc huu ioia ins lather what he had

soon identihed the bones as those of bis
long lost son. It appears that the boy was

wnicn a large tree had fallen in such
manner as to rest about three feet from
the ground. It is supposed that when ho
stooped to go under the log the lock of his
gun came in contact with the tree, thus
discharging it and killing him. He lay
just his length from the log. His remains
were torn, probably by wild beasts, and
it cannot be ascertained where the shot
took effect. The skull even was mashed
to pieces, bnt the identification was plain
to nis parents."
