I had long wished to see that part of Lane county. Receutly the oppor­ tunity came and the recollections linger pleasantly in the mind. From Eugene one goes by the Southeru Pacific train to Cottage Grove, ,he gateway to the Bohemia mining district. From there by the Oregon Kc Southeastern one is hurried along through gently roll iug fields, golden with gathering harvests, past apple orchards green and regular, near commodious, old-style farm houses with large bams, through pasture lands dotted with slock, by rail fences looking as familiar as if fresh from the Atlantic states half a century ago. But this delusion is soon rudely dissipated as the train begins to jienetrate the edge of the mountain wilderness. The Row river plunges along by the side of the roadbed. Huge sawmills with great piles of Oregon fir lumber are passed as we begin to climb and penetrate the forest. W e are catching the whiff of mountain air. Instead of the sweet smell of the harvest it is the breath of the pines. The way grows rugged. I'ew habitants ap­ pear. The valley is narrowing down. The gateway is shutting close now as we climb. The shriek of our engine echoes through the timber; we have reached the end of our journey by rail. Now for the ride of a life time. Put it down as a red-letter day. Twelve or 14 miles into the heart of a primitive forest, winding to and fro up the narrow mountain valley, crossing and recrossing the mountain stream. There is a quick plunge into the shadows of the dense forest and all behind is lost to sight. The sunlight comes filtering down the wavering patches, lighting trunk and branch and foliage and leaf-mould with many a touch of silvery splendor. Twelve miles of forest, 12 miles of a scene that makes the blood throb and the heart sing. Bo­ hemia is about and above us. Now after a sumptuous dinner, the climb is on. Six miles more and every step a tug. Higher and higher we rise under the crack of the driver’s whip and the thud and clatter of the horses' feet over the rocky way. Now the last switch- back comes and in a few moments more, with an indescribable moun­ tain scene spread before us, we step down at Bohemia postoffice. every purpose for which the min­ always present their most lively Wednesday morning Harry Mur­ the shooting followed, with the re­ ing industry wants timber, from appearance in the winter time. phy and Rolicrt Harvey, found sult that Stuckey was killed. the building of a bunk-house to There is every indication for a real guilty of assault upou W.

The whole circle of the horizon is ours. From where we stand draw a circle with a radius of five miles and you have enclosed this district. It lies in sharp ridges, rising now and then into peaks, and deep, dark, narrow valleys, closing in occas­ ionally so as to form precipitious gorges. It is a district formed for the most desirable mining pro­ cesses. Not a shaft need be sunk in all this region to develop prop­ erty save for ventilation purposes. A ll work may be done by tunnels. Such descents are everywhere that almost any desirable depth may lie gained by running tunnels into the slopes.
