FRIDAY Jvxk 13,. 1879.
Our Picturesque NorUnvcsl.
We had a call Monday evening
from Mr. E. Oonklin which was alike
interesting to us and important to
every one in this extreme northwest.
Mr. Conklin is a representative of the
National Associated Press of New
York, and the people on the coast will
recollect him as one of the Frank
Leslie party to this coast in '77. Mr.
Conklirfs purpose now, is to write a
thoroughly descriptive book on Ore
gon and Washington Territory : and
his call upon us was to get our advice
concerning certain projects laid before
us. Tiiis we readily did, xnd coincide
thoroughly with Mr. Conklin's idejis
in successfully bringing before the
publiCjthatpartof our national domain
known as Washington and Oregon.
His work will be an extra large 12mo.
of somewhere between -100 and 500
pages. Throughout, the book will be
profusely dispersed with illustra
tions, as the name of the
work The Picturesque Northwest
will imply. In fact, this will be the
leading feature of the work; in con
nection with which, however, there is
another, an original idea with Sir.
Conkiin, which will make this feature
one of the grandest for and most suc
cessful representations by illustrations,
which has ever come under our notice.
Accompanying each picture there will
be a fly-leaf upon which will be given
a short, concise, but explicit descrip
tion of the picture, occupying just the
one page. The diversion this will af
ford the mind from the more stern
and practical facts in which the book
will be full, suggests itself at once.
In fact it will really secure the reading
and the study of our country. Mr.
Conklin is the author of ' 'Picturesque
Arizona," which was favorably received
last fall. Mr. Conklin is very desir
ous of obtaining any and all informa
tion pertaining to the mines and min
ing in the two territories. He solicits
all persons sending him any informa
tion relative to this industry; and we
would urge his request in this particu
lar. Let any one possessed of facts
send them in, and have this great,
growing, and essential indnsfcrjT done
justice to, in the coming work. Ad
dress E. Conklin, Portland, Oregon,
any time during the summer.
The Eruption of Mount JElna.
History records more than eighty
eruptions of Mount iEtna. On
the side of this burning mountain,
now daily pouring forth immense
masses of lava, are the important
cities of Cantania and Aoi Reale,
and about sixty villages. "With
the exception of its eastern side,
its slopes are of grent fertility, and
maintain a total population of
300,000. Vast quantities of sul
phur, mercury and alum arc ex
humed, and agricultural pursuits
are highly profitable, .ztStna in
eruption is a scene to admire, at a
distance; but well calculated to in
spire terror among the valley resi
dents, whose villages and fields
are liable to be submerged beneath
its lava flow. Alread" many
large and valuable estates have
been destroyed by the fiery flood,
"which increases from day to day
in volume, and threatens to lay
waste a wide extent of country.
The immense fall of ashes, which
is a marked feature of the eruption,
is 'alone productive of untold dam
age, since in a. brief space of time
these ashes are borne broadcast,
compelling the flight of the
inhabitants, and making life
within the area of their in
fluence unbearable. This vol
cano is represented as not only in
creasing: in activity, but is also ad
diner to the number of its craters,
and and no estimate can be formed
of the length of its duration.
IS either .can DOunds be set to the
amount of destruction which "will
be wrought while the erruptions
continue. "Well may the victims
of its depredations recall the
younger Piny's graphic description
of Vesuvius in eruption", when
Herculaneum end Poinpeu were
swept out of existence, and trem
ble lest iheir populous towns and
cities meet with a similar fate.
Still more familiar to them mavbe
the h'story of iEtna itself, in which
is found a record of devastation
and death. Some of its earnest
exploits known to the generations
of the earth occurred over five
hundred years before the Christian
era, suice which time, at intervals,
its nerfonranccs have been numer-
4.
ous. The cone of iEtna is over
10,S00 feet above the level of the
sea. Its ilames can therefore, be
seen at a long d'staice, and the
more remote from danger the in
spetor happens to be, the more he
can survey

A expedition by the American
colonization society will leave New
York on Saturday, direct fo" Liberia.
The society has applications from
5C0.O00 persons for passage and homes
in the Liberian republic, thus showing
that there is some deep-seated cause
impelling the colored people to seek a
change of residence. The number of
emigrants sent will depend upon the
amount contributed. The chief diffi
culty of the society is to restrain those
who a're not likely to succeed and be
useful, and to obtain the means for
settlinu others.
