In answer to many questions, chiefly as to whether we landed upon Tillamook rock, on our visit last Tuesday, we say: Yes; we went upon the rock, and all over the rock; into, through, and upon the light house; climed the der ricks, surveyed the site, and all that in our imagination. The boys are nicely quartered there. Besides Mr. Geo. M. Eowe and his four assistants, Mr. Ilolt is there with eleven workmen, mak ing in all sixteen persons on the rock. The light house building is a splendid stone structure, and all the works to be seen arc a marvel the result of a science and a skill acquired only by the student and the engineer. The rock stands two miles or more from the main land, in from ninety to one hun dred and fifty feet depth of water almost perpendicular walls. To iret unon the rock from the deck of the Astoria was about as easy as to jump off a log. A cage, made cf strong wood and iron bound, slung from each of its four cornersand swing by a huge crane, lifts the cage from the rock and then the donkey engine on the steamer pulls it on board, from mid air. Two men can conveni ently sit in the cage, and it is strong enough to carry all that can be place in it. and several tons besides. When yon are seated in the cage and the word is given: All right, go ahead; up you go! Sixty,scvcnty, seventy-five feet, into the air dangling at the end of a rope. The immense derrick crane swings in, and you are upon terra firma. It i much plcasanter on the rock than it is on the steamer the steamer rocks but the rock is firm. 'ou will be surprised, greatly surprised; to see the work which has Imjimi accom plished there, and when you come away you will feel thankful that you have visited the rock in person. It is a feat equal to jroinjr to the top of the "Washing ton monument, and superior to that of ascending the dome at the National capital. You will also feel thankful that you got away safe; and unless you have business to call you back, will not care about going again. Ai least that is what we have been informed by those who have been there. We could always profit by the experi ence of others. That is why we did not go upon the rock in per son. The reader will understand that we only went there "in our imagination," and this sketch of the boys, their comfortable quar ters, the work done, etc., is writ ten from occasional notes made from the deck of the Astoria while we were waiting- ami fishing for ( jjroupers in ninety feet of water. Capt. Flavel Las been upon the rock once, Mr. A. J. Meg-ler has also been there, anil we respect fully refer to thorn for corrobo-ratinp- circumstances cenceriiitin: our experiences, and the facts herein related. Miss M. IT. Gillett of Wiscon sin, has been appointed notary public for the district of Columbia, the first instance where a woman has received such appointment from the president. The supreme lode a. o. u. w., now in session at Detroit, have granted the petition for separate jurisdiction of the grand lodge of Oregon, "Washington and British Columbia, the reparation to date from June 1, 1SS1. "Work on the new )uluth and Vinnepeg railroad will begin in a week. Boston capitalists have subscribed $5,000,000 to build it. The country through which it will run is very rich, and in winter is 'cold enough to freeze the brass knobs off the door locks. The Oregon Improvement com pany have fixed the prices of their lands in eastern Washington at five, seven, and ten dollars per acre. Considering the enhance ment of value by reason of the early construction of the Oregon Kail way and Navigation companys road through the heart of this body of lands the prices are very reason able. The prices of land already settled upon does not come under this head, but are set according to ithe merits of eachlcase. Crops in Kentucky this year will he poor indeed. The cyclone damaged very much property and crops in Texas. Rev. T. DeVYitt Talmagc utters a scathing review of the New Testament, which he says will make hosts of infidels. The Canadian jury in the Vic toria steamer disaster blame every body connected with the steamer, and end the matter by urging the government to be more stringent. All over Russia and New Jersey the people are rising up and driving the Jews out of their houses, and out of the circus and all prominent places of amusement. This looks tough to tliope who are not used to such things; but where the Jews missed it was in not being born Indians, and living on the frontier, and killing off all the ranchers that they could lay their eyes on, instead of going to work and minding their own business and mak ing money. Some people have no re spect for peoplo xho mind their own business. JIAKIIIKI. June 5th, I88l,in New Tacoina, by the Kcv.Jno.A. liaufield. Mr. P. B. Searle and MisL A. II.
