Editoii Entkrprisk : As I see notes oc casionally in your valuable little paper from all parts of the State except this it might be of interest to some one to know that there is such a place in the vi cinity of the il unit Soda Springs. This in a very healthy locality. Purest of water, and freed io a great extent from the fog that settles on the low lands which we look down uiwn. and often presents itielfas a vast ocan of water. This part of inecoim rv east oi the noua springs, was subjected to a very destructive tire non.e twenty or thirty years itiro. and was destroyed, or rather hardened, a irreater portion of the timber, and a reat deal of it litis fallen, and is decaying very last. Feed for stock is splendid. The land pro duces good wheat, oats, rye, etc., and the bi'rry is larger and pluuier than grows in many parts of the vulley. Veg etables f all kinds do exceedingly well; Tor quality and llavor, they are unsur nasst.d" in Oreiron. Tune grasses of all .kinds are excellent. The choice pieces of the public domain are being taken by tln.se who are entitled to a homestead, ami uaiy of them are making quite a show ; alwCthere is considerable good Iandtli.it .belong to the Oregon tfc California Rail road company that would make good homes.

Wo were to-day shown the working model of an invention of Mr. Theodore Clark, foreman of the finishing room in the factory, which we believe is destined for tenerai introduction into all the woolen mills in the country. It is ma chinery designed to gaue ihe shrinkage in goods so as to iudicau? to the operator the exact operation of the fulling machine, which never has been done beioiv. Tue operator can, by means of the invention, distribute the weight in duo proportion to a given width, and thereby enable the production of goods of equal and uni form weight leaving nothing to guess work as heretofore with the manipulation of the fuller. We lielievu M r. Clark has hit upon a very valuable invention, aod we should be glad to see Theodore real ize from the patent which he has applied for. to iseeure him, in tho benefits to be derived from the invention. Mr. F. C. Miller constructed the model, and it peaks highly of his workmanship, as it as a very difficult machine to imitate In tiie dimiautivo. Letter List.

The Corvallis Gazette of last week has the following notice of a former resident of this county, who fig ured in our police court before his depart ure: Hmrh McCauley, who nas neen in Corvallis most of the time for the last six months, a man of verv polite address, and very particular to form no acquaint ance except from the best of the society of ovir citv, was arrested on Thursdav evening on the complaint, of O P. Ja.v cox, charged with the larceny of $2.50 from the drawer in the store of Sheppard A Javcox, of this city. Ihe case was tried before Mr. T. C. Alexander, Justice of the Peace, of this city, and although the offence could have been tried as a felonv, yet the charge was for simple larceny, and the defendant's counsel advised the trial on that chanre instead of the more serious one of larcenv from a store." The facts brought out on the trial were that the proecutor had missed money for several weeks, and had suspected McCauley, and on the evening of his arrest, had marked several pieces of coin and placed them in the till, and had officer Miller to watch the drawer through a hole in the shelving made for that purpose. Miller saw the accused go to the drawer, pull it out and put his hand in. On arresting him a lew hours afterwards, two of the marked coins A ere found in his possession. After trial by jury, and the verdict of guilty rendered, the defendant was sentenced to thirty days' imprisonment in the county jail. Mr. M. had taught school in this county, and was at t'ie time out oi em ployment. He has evidently been well raised, and being, as we suppose, "broke," yielded to temptation. ' Married.
