A natural bridge, closely resembling
the one in Virginia, has liecn discover

are as follows: Length, 19 feet;
breadth, 15 3:3 feet; height, 68 J feet;

of it and its medicinal properties: but
Linn county is bounded on the north
by the north fork of the Santlam river.
Lying between it and the south fork of
said river is the nortlwwtcm part of
the county, known as H ' a'l.-ida." Up
the north fork is (lu; ri'iiU- s -leeted for
the O. P. railroad which is destined to
connect with the C. .'- X. W. road at
Boise City, Idaho, making another'
transcontinental route, and opening
up some ot the Iniest vall.ys in tins
part of Oregon. Up this valley lives
some of Linn county's best and pros
perous citizens who will be largely ben
efitted by the completion of the O. P.
road, as it will open ui a country more
or less rich in mineral, and containing
the finest of farming, grazing and tiin
lier lands.
Coming south, wo find Thomas
creek valley. This is a fertile valley
in -which is located the busy and thriv
ing town of
scio.
which commenced its growth in lS-"6;
was incorporated in 1800, and now con
tains (500 inhabitants, several church
es and fine educational institutions.
For a long time remote from railway
communication, Scio's growth and de
velopment was retarded; but with the
advent of the Narrow linage road it
commenced improving and lias con
tinued to do so until now, with the pro
posed O. P. road, it bids fair to grow
and prosper as only a lively town can.
for the surrounding country is most
agreeably diversified, nlFording fine,
timber, grazing and farming lands.
The climate here is salubrious, and the
streams afford good sport for the ang
ler. Fcio is the trading point for a
large area of country above on Thomas

Six miles tip the Santlam river from
Lebanon, are the Waterloo falls, one of
the iest natural water-powers in the
State. Here is a very desirable loca
tion for any kind of manufacturing es
tablishments, especially lumber, as
large bodies of timber lie adjacent easy
of access. There Is now on foot, under
the direction of Mr. John Wirt, a very
plausable scheme to organize a mauu
facuring colony for this place, and we
iK'lieve it Is only a question of time
when this great power will be utilized
to the benefit of the entire county. At
Waterloo Is also to lie found oije of the
finest soda springs that ever gushed
out of the solid rock. It attracts many
tourists and invalids annually.
SODAVII.I.K,
so called on account of the soda springs
at that place, is situated on n bluff
over-looking the valley. From this
eminence a most delightful view of the
country surrounding Lebanon, Albany
and other places Is to be obtained. The
springs are public property, and dur
ing the summer season the hitle town
Is enlivened by many tourists and oth
ers, some of which camp during the
heated term. The drive from Leba

The uctual truth of the case is just to

Instead of degenerating, the human
