Voluma II. DENMARK, CURRY COUNTY, OREGON : TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, "l 865. Number 27. HIS 'FIRST KLK. A few mornings since Solly Ander son shouldered his Marlin and went forth to review some traps he had set not far from the house. Proceeding about three quarters of a mile, he came in view of a small band of elk that had strayed down that way. To say .that ho was overjoyed at the pros pect would be drawing it mild. "While seeking a chance for a shot. Solly mentally resolved not to "get excited," as is nsually the fate of a beginner in the business. At the crack of his gun down came the game aimod at Now it was that the trying ordeal came. In spite of his efforts to restrain it his right foot set up a tat oo on the ground; he. shifted his weight onto that one, when the left went vigorously to work patting up on the ground. It is needless to add that no other elk was harmed. How ever, the young hunter was well satis -lied with his success so far, and, un der the impression that the animal ho had slain weighed a ton or more, he invited all the neighbors m to share the bounty.

Thus sayeth our Port Orford Cor. The breakwater is evidently agita ting the minds of all. Some think the report originated at Port Orford and was gotten up expressly to sell town lots, ii tnere naa been more town lots sold Port Orford would be better off, but such was not the case. The appropriation made by Congress some years since will without doubt be utilized for various reasons, not necessary to meiltion. It is to the advantage of the whola State to have it go ahead, and why should not Port Orford come in for the lion's share? There is not on the Pacific Coast more suitable place, for & large and prosperous town .than -Port Orford. The climate.is. superb, the tempeature being .unsurpassed for vita .evenness and bracing qualities. The question :is asked, "What maks; you .tbinkthe, breakwater .will .start?" -'ii ihave; faith in'the '.future because J .have confidence in the present,": is . a ood answer, We state again for the benefit .of parties desiring to take advantage of our. club list, tnatvcasnmust accom THE LATEST NEWS. - Vennor, the weather prpphet, ds dead.-' - v " The Nevada Legislature returns Jones to the United States Senate.

Miss Maud Paskins is continuing. her musical studies under the tute lage of Mrs. Blacklock.

Mrs. Blacklock gave a birth dav sociable in honor of her son's fif teenth anniversary, which was fully enjoyed by those present up to a' late hour. Mr. Geo. Guerin, of Eckley is now employed, by Mr. Wilbur as clerk in his store. The gentleman is a genial and social to customers, and Mr. W. has made a good selection uin secur ing his services. Mr. "Wm. Burnham has taken un to himself part of Uncle Sam's -do main. consisting of one hundred and sixty acres, located on Elk river above Mr. Forty's. The gentleman went out to commence the necessary im provements on the 22nd. He already has the required amount of building. Mr. Barry has a force of four men engaged in cleaning around and erecting out buildings on his ground on Elk river, also one at hia place on Sixes river, and will employ more in a few weeks. Mr. B. who is largely interested with Mr. A. Crawford of San Francisco intends to remain in Curry, and ere long will be one of our most prominent vounsr business men. He is now on a tour of inspection. Mr. Wilbur expects to have water in the store and his residence in a few days. The expense has been con siderable to the gentleman, but when completed it should be a source of pleasure to him to know what aqua pura he is imbibing. He w.ill have a large reservoir at the head of the main pipe tapping a living spring. Mr. W. has commenced expending his money for the improvment of Port Orford, and by his industry and courtesy deserves all the success which without doubt he will acheive. Mr. Barry, accompanied by Mr Lockhart started on a tour of the sur rounding country to-day for the pur pose of looking up good dairy cows and a few horses. They found' the weather exceedingly high and. very annoying, and their trip was forced to a termination before making as thorough a canvass of tho country as they wished.

Burnham has purchased the lot that Mr. J. B. Tichenor dis posed of to Mr. Applebee last Spring, the consideration was in the hundfeds and Mr. B. is to be complimented up on securing such a valuable piece of property at so nominal a sum. The above mentioned property takes in quite an extensive ...ocean frontage As Mr. B. is a young man, the chances are that he will see it come from ob scurity .into the ' utmost importance in the near future and tthis 4 is not all, for he is single aAd.yerydifldent I believe he is looking for a . blonde .We would advise all our readers .who think of .making a vegetable or flower garden this Spring to send to D.

The Badger family have been quite indisposed for the past ten days, but are all recovering somewhat. The Business v Association have a very largo assortment of ladies hats, . which they are selling at from $2 & $6 each. The scarcity of weddings and the apparent increase of divorce suits are taken as indications of a mild' Winter in Curry. Dr. J. F. Thorwarth and wife are spending a few days with us in visit ing friends and acquaintances. Mrs". Thorwarth seems jto foel quite, at home when in Ellensburg, and her many-warm fronds here only regret that they shall soon, have to bid her good. bye. again and-see her return to that land of mud and fog. But then we think the Doctor has selected a better location for the practice of his profession that at Ellensbuig. The people who live in that befogged region, 'round about Smith river, re not nearly so healthy as people who live in our clear pure air; besides at Smith river the Doctor has so many, wounds to dress which is quite an item in his business. , Badger.- DIED.
