This is a great country and 160 acres of it should be mine. In a few words that is the comprehensive, bu$ somewhat indefinite idea that occurs to the average American citizen as he contemplates the rich profusion of natural resources that wait only for courageous hands to carve them into pleasant homes. The above is, perhaps, a sentimental idea, naturally indennite, although true. Jtis about the way the idea is apt to shape itself when one sits in the office or at home m town and thinks how pleasant it would be to have a ranch away out somewhere, where one could retire from the grind of busi ness and in a rustic retreat where the view is ever green and the wild berries grow, sit in tho door of his log cabin in the shade of the lofty and fragrant spruce and inhale health with balmy odors, while the merry bubbling of a pure mountain stream near by makes music sweet to hear. Is not the thought pleasant and restful? There is joy enough for a whole family. But sitting in dreamy contemplation in one's chair in town will not build a log house, and one not having a prac tical knowledge of government sur veys, "-corners," ''quarter posts," "wit ness trees," '"blazes" and trails would probably spend much valuable time necessary to rude carpenter work, and the whole outfit was hauled as near the trail as was possible. The pro visions and Pearline were put intwo sacks convenient for packing on one's ' shonlders. Our first trip was not easy traveling as it may be readily believed that this one with a heavy load was severe. But finally camp was reached and the pro visions were unloaded when it was found that the beans, Pearline and. sugar had got mixed. The beans wero easily separated but the sugar and pearline still remain an unsolved problem. A second and third trip got the blankets and tools to the scene of operations. The preparation of a rude meal of mush and coffee completed the labors of the day, and selecting a level place, free from brush, rest was sought for the night The next day after a "simple repast" preparations were made for building and an alder tree was felled from, which the luxurant moss was stripped which afforded a very comfortable bed for the following night. The next day we returned to town temporarily, on business, bearing marks of experience in the woods. It is hard work securing a home stead in the woods and a little exper ience of that kind will increase one's admiration for those men and women who have successfully overcome all obstacles and now enjoy the pleasant homes they have honestly earned.

The cause of the fire is supposed to have been sparks falling from the locomotive of a train, which arrived heje from the Sound shortly after midnight, and when discovered it must have been burning for some time, as it had got under great headway. Tho fire department turned out in full, but before the engines conld ar rive, the entiro trestlo work had been swept away and a quantity of lumber valued at about 3,000 was destroyed. Several streams of water wero soon playing upon the flames and the fire was got under control, so far as the lumber is immediately concerned, but tho yard is built upon a great depth of sawdust, which got to burning beneath the surface, bidding defiance to the engines. Two engines have been working all day but at a late hour, the sawdust was sun burning, wniie dense col umns of smoke and steam were con tinually arising therefrom. So far, the mills are perfectly safe, and as they are somewhat removed from the scene of present danger, it is highly improbable that the fire can spread to them. There was very nearly an accident, owing to the fact that a warning sig nal was not put ont on tho north side of the burnt trestle. Tho Northern Pacihc passenger tram narrowly es caped an accident at G:30 o'clock this morning, for as it came up, tho watch man, realizing the situation hurried down tho track and signalled the ex press to stop. A train was sent out from tho city and tho passengers and mails were transferred around the break and brought up to town. The damage to the railroad will bo about $2,500, but repairs cannot be mado with safety, till the fire is all out.

Tho latest scoundrel of this city is Henry Jones, a saloon keeper, who formerly kept a saloon on Second and Salmon aud latterly on First and Columbia streets. Two days ago this wretch outraged his 13-year-old sister-in-law, Posa Roberts, and when her sister, Mrs. Jones, canio to her rescue after excru ciating cries for help, Jones mado good his escape, and since then the fellow has not been seen. There is another phase in this in famous fellow's conduct. Early this week Bosa had $1,600 on deposit in tho Bank of British Columbia. She authorized Jones to draw it and place it in the Portland Savings bank, which he did, but in his own name.

Drink Knickerbocker bottled beer. to find the particular quarter section on which they would bo pleased and entitled to mako their home. It is here that one needs the services of the professional '"locator." An ex perienced woodsman who keeps close watch on all filings made in the land oflice and who knows who have aban doned their locations or who have failed to seenre their places by com plying with the laws. If there is any vacant land or anyone who is willing to relinquish their claim, this man knows it and is willing to impart his information for a consideration. He will "put you on to it." The writer engaged tho services of a well-knoWn locator a few days since, to be shown a location in the heavily timbered district on the Necanicum, about three miles from Seaside. The party comprised four persons. The steamer Electria landed us at the Young's river bridge, whero we took an Astoria and South Coast tram for Sea side, the route passing through a fer tile country on either side of tho bkip anon woods. Evidences of thrift are seen in tne new uuiidings that are scattered here and Ihero- along the road, some of them being quite preten tious residences, that owe their exist ence to tho enlivening influence of the Astoria and South Coast railroad. We arrive at Seaside, where there is quite a village of cottages and hotels for the accommodation of sojourners at this noted health resort. Tho hotels all furnish excellent accommodation to tho transient guests that come here from the heated interior to lave their limb3 in tho cool Pacific. The next morning we exchange a portion ot our apparel for duck shirts and rubber boots, and prepare to "plunge into the depths of forest." But we first plunge into the depths of the muddy road up the Necanicum, and keep on plnnging for about a mile and a half. Then, crossing tho Necan icum on a bridge formed bv an im mense fallen tree, wo strike into tho trail to the westward. e follow onr locator in Indian file, plnyiug a con tinual hide aud seek over logs, under logs, into mud holes, through swamps, up gullies, over unexpected root3, through the brush and up lull, until we are suddenly brought to a stop, palpitating and per spiring, by our leader exclaiming. Here wc are! It was well that he gave us that assuring information, for we should hardly have known it. When we had becomo sufficiently composed to look about us we were compelled to admit that there was lots of "way up" timber there and that when it was cut it would probably come down whero it could be prepared for market when the Astoria and Albany railroad is built up the Necani cum. Our party then resolved itself into two equal parts and proceeded to prospect the boundaries of two claims, and after having satisfied onrcnnosity f ully, we started back and reached our hotel that evening two of us, physic ally much tho worse for wear and tear, but with our determination to locate still unshaken. Then follows a flying trip to Oregon City whero the U3ua 1 legal formalities are soon gone through with, thanks to the obliging courtesy of the officials who there preside. We return with our receipts in our pockets, and prepare for some of the real work tho packing m of supplies over that trail which at present can only be traveled on foot. Over such a trau the transporting of those things that are considered necessary to the comfortable existence of a family is no easy job.
