CALIFORNIA LETTER.
Baxtimonica, Cal., April 1.
Editor Express :
Having reached California safe, and
looking around for the past four weeks
I have seen nothing that suits me as
well a Or eon. I have to buy water,
. ,1 tKnl. ivnf nn crnnit ' and filao huV
uu IU. a w j R , -- qrj w
Biy fuel, and that's nine dollars for
-wood. If a person's fool enough to
come here I feel sorry for the poor
oul, forifbedon.tllketo burn wood
he can ray $14 a ton for coal.
-The way they fooled the people here,
I think It is a shame ; but I'll take old
Oregon' for plenty of good land, wood
and rain.
Here if a person wants a job of work
they'll have to Hook around : and if you
buy potatoes o will have to pay two
cents a pound
When a man lands In this country
where he's never been before, if he isn't
a rood rustler he'll always be poor.
Web-foot takes the cake t Yours truly
Peter Le Fohoe.
MtXt. CITY
WOUDINO OF DEEDS.
In October. 1883. W. It.Hobson.Lco
Brown. Thomas Blmms and J. A.
Shaw organised the Bantlam Lumber
Company with a capital stock or iv
ooo. and boucht of II. B. IUeo the pres
ent alto on tho O. P. road 38 miles east
of Albany on the north aide of tho
North Bantlam. The company speiu
the entire original stock in cutting
their canal, locating aud equipping tho
mill for business. For all purposes of
lumburing no moif fortunate location
could be had. The water supply Is
abundant In alt seasons of the year for
teu times their present amount or ma
chinery. They are only using altout
one-fifth of their present power. The
fall Is 25 feet, and they have a power of
3(M horse, and It could be Increased to
600 harse uower with only a trifle ex
nenso on tho dam. The present capac
ity U 400,000 feet per day, and the av
erage shipment to Albany anu otuer
points is sixteen car loads per week.
Everything about the mill is flrst-cluss,
aud the machinery and hands all move
like iw:k work, under tne emcioni
management of Opt. J. A. Bhnw, tho
nolite and thorough going manager.
The company have a business store In
connection with their business, anu
thev are naylnjr promptly all their
hands nnd for all their material. The
town site was owned and layed off by
Mr. It. B. Rice, who Is selling lots at
verv reasonable rates at from $25 to $75
apiece. Mr. Hardy has also layed off
a smalt addition on tho north east side
and la almost giving away his lots,
only asking the normal price ot t-u
Mr. Hobson has also added nn addl
tlon on the south or Linn county side
of the river. There Is no place that
has a brlffhter future as a lumber and
manufacturing place than Mill city.
The mill company is now putting new
machinery for planing and lathing, so
that vou can ret anything Here anu
just to suit for all building purposes,
The aunolv of timber seems to oe inex
haustible and so situated as to bo of
easyac3ess to mill. There are some
rich deposits of various minerals near
Borne of the finest clay for fire-proof
brick and tilery Is to be round near tins
nlace. and only awaits the magic touch
of skilled labor and a little capital to
develop it. The owners of real estate
and all the citizens give a cordial wei
come to all new comers, and persons
desiriinr work or seeking Investments
wonld do well to visit Mill City. The
present population is about 300, but
from tl present indication it will
doubtless reach a thousand in another
The traveling public will find
eooA accommodations at the Btowart
house on very reasonable terms. The
real estate owners in and around this
thrivlnir village are courteous, liberal
and anxious to build up their town,
and will give every accommodation
thnt is rvaAoiiablc and fair. We would
recommend this place as offl-rlnga flue
opportunity for Investment.
