"Silverton Railroad Meeting.
At the railroad meeting held in
Silverton on the 22d, Hon. T. W.
Davenport presided. The roonr
vas crowded with people from
Silverton and vicinity, and a num
ber from Butte creek. The
neeting "was addressed by Mr.
Pengra in an able manner and of
about two hours in length, giving
a history of the movements in this
matter from the beginning and
giving the people to understand that
the road would be constructed
without delay, if the people would
assist the enterprise in a liberal
manner. He was frequently ap
.'plauded during his address, by the
audience. At the close of his ad
dress Mr. Davenport delivered a
Speech, greatly appreciated by the
audience, at the close of which the
subscription paper was presented
and about two thousand dollars
subscribed in a few minutes,
making in all about eleven thou
sand dollars subscribed by the
people of Silverton and vicinity.
Mr. Cooledge intends to circulate
-the subscription paper two weeks
:ind expects to get quite a large
amount subscribed in the country
east and south of this place.
The Storin at Heppner.
A correspondent of the Pendle
ton Independent, writing from
Heppner, says the recent snow
storm has been the main topic
among all classes for the reason
that it effects all to a great ex
tent. "Our section of country is
emphatically a stock country and
when the snow comes in such
quantities the people feel it very
sensibly. The snow which fell
about eight inches here and much
deej)er as you go west and north,
finished up with a crust that pret
ty effectually precluded all stock
from getting feed, and the legiti
mate result is they must be
brought back to where thev can
get grass or be fed, or otherwise
perish, so this is what quite -i num
ber of our citizens are trving to
do. A great many cattle as usual
-made for the Columbia as soon as
the storm came on and are caught
there in the crusted snow so deep
that they cannot get away and the
prospect is there will be a heavy
-loss at the best that can be done.
A great many sheep wore- just
taken down that way before the
storm and it is very difficult to get
them out; but there have not
many died as yet. There was but
little snow fell near the mountains
and the Chinook came and took oil
-nearly all of it'the next day."
Parties have discovered coal
oil near Yreka, but will not tell
the place until they make further
developments. It has been firmly
believed from various indications,
that petroleum exists in Shasta
county, anS who knows but what
'the hot springs on Mount -Shasta
maybe kept warm by a coal oil
lire deap down in the bowels of the
earth? Around the base of this
great monarch of the mountains
are several burnt out caves, and on
the summit may be seen extinct
craters, while all over the country,
nature seems to have been dis
turbed as evidenced by the breaks
found in developing quartz ledges.
Coal having been found in great
quantities at Willow creek, with
,good -indications of leads at other
-places, gives assurance that coal
,oil may also be found in abundance
int various points between mount
Shasta and Klamath river.
iL Buried Forest.
It has been recently discovered
that an oak forest lies buried in the
valley of the Fulda, near Rosen
burg, Hesse Cassel, Germany, at a
depth from six to nine feet "below
the surface. The wood flourished
at a very remote period. The
greater number of the trees dis
covered were in good preservation;
but, owing to the action of the
water through unnumbered ages,
they 'have become thoroughly
blacked in color. They have also
become very hard and close, so
that they would be good material
for carving and ornamenting cabi
net work. Some of the trees are of
great size, one taken out of a
gravelly portion of the bed oppo
site the village of Baumbaoh, and
since sent to the Geological Mu
seum at Berlin, was 50 feet long,
nearly five feet in diameter near
the root, and about 3S inches at
the top. Even larger specimens
have been found. It is reported
that the furniture and fittings of
the Geological Museum at Mar
burg are to be made from this
long buried timber. It is not yet
decided whether those buried oaks
belong to a species still existing, or
to an extinct one.
A Chicago paper confesses
that Zach Candler has some quali
fications for a seat in the United
States senate, that he is incor
ruptible, that he has brains, and
that he has not got the presidential
itch. He unquestionably is the
choice of a majority of the repub
licans in his state. He was always
an influential, hard-working mem
ber. He was an almost invalua
ble party man, and party men -in
this day and generation are not to
be sneezed at.
William Astor, has instituted
a suit in the Supreme court against
collector Merritt of New York to
test the question whether the cus
toms authorities can legally collect
duties on effects imported by "pass
engers from Europe lor their per
sonal use. Mr. Astor arrived with
a quantity of silverware and cloth
ing that he declared to be for his
personal uso. He was required to
pay 1,800 duties. The treasury
regulations say that goods so im
ported must have been in actual
use at the time of landing.
Foreign news is not very en
couraging just now. There is a
plague in Russia; a great strike in
England; a famine in Switzerland,
the small-pox in Ireland. Great
Britain has two wars upon her
hands, one in Afghanistan and an
other in south Africa, with Cete
wayo, King of Zulus, began on the
11th of January. Russia 'also is
talking of and preparing for two,
one with the Chinese, on the Cen
tral Asian question, another with
Roumania, about disputed territory
in the neighborhood of Sihstria.
Since Dean Stanley and Cyrus
W. Field are making a move
ment for the erection of a monu
ment over the remains of Major
Andre, 'the British sp3r, executed
by the American revolutionists in
17S0, the citizens of Tarrftown,
New York, are reminded that it
would also be proper to honor the
graves of his captors John Pauld
ing, David Williams and Isaac
Van Wart in a like manner.
They have held a meeting with
the object of taking measures for
that purpose. Much as the fate of
the gallant Andre has been com
miserated on account of his un
timely enfi. The American people
should net forget that his capture
saved the American army, and that
the name of the brave men who
performed this feat is worthy to
be kindly remembered as long
as the republic -lasts.
"FACTS AND SCRAPS.
A lady in Binghamton says tihat
if Bob Ingersoll had the right sort
of a wife he would n't be in doubt
about hell.
A little girl, walking one day
with her mother in a graveyard,
reading one after another the
praises of those who slept beneath,
said. "I wonder where they bury
the -sinners."
.Tones, through the lather:
"Strange, I never can grow a good
beard, and yet my grandfather had
one three feet "long." Hair-dress-er:
"Can't account for it, -sir, unless
you take after your grandmother."
""What would you do if a girl
kissed you?" saidone ten-year-old
urchin to another, as they discussed
the latest society news. "What
would I do? Pel kiss her back.
What would you do?" "Kiss her
mouth," was the prctentous reply.
Were there cats in the ark? Is
a 'question that is troubling the
religious editor of an exchange.
Certainly there were, and the first
thing they said after leaving the
ancient craft was. "If there's
Arrarat 'round here we want to
I gopher it."
The day before a Turkish girl
is married she is taken to the bath
by her lady friends, and lumps of
sugar are broken over her head as
a forecast of the sweets of matri
mony. A year or so afterwards
her husband breaks the whole
sugar-bowl over her head.
A man in Connecticut was killed
the other clay while 'trying to
board a freight train." There is
reason in all things. 3o doubt
when the man took the freight
train to board he gave it salcratus
biscuits, rye coffeo, and strong
butter for breakfast, and tough
mutton three times a week for
dinner, till in a fit of dyspepsia the
freight train rose up and killed
him.
