up to his place of buslnoss, whoro
ho is superintendent tho work of
putting an adcMtlon to tho saw mill
that place. Messrs. Wm. Cham

up tho samo day two largo shlvs,
o.tch wolghlng about slxtoon hun
dred pounds, to bo put In the addi
tion to tho mill. Ho tolls mo that
they aro making arrangements to
open a bank in Butto Falls. Then
they will havo twonty-fonr families,
eight bacholoro" establishments and
only think of It, there aro soventoon
young ladles of mnrriagablo ago and
still eight keeping bach, four stores,
ono ochool, two teachers, eighteen
pupils, a meat ns.rket, ono hotel, two
restaurants, ono lodging house and
one saw mill, two feed stables, and
one law office. And since they havo
totephono communication with tho
outside world they expect to do bus
iness In earnest. They also havo a
project on foot to open up a country
road to Prospect and thereby bring
all tho travol to Crater Lake; etc.,
through that city. Speaking of
country roa:ls, through tho energy
and determination of some of th
business men of Butte Falls they
havo secured a route from Eagle
Folnt to that place by which we
can travel, especially in tho dry sea
son from hero with a good load as
by means of tho new road. The two
bad hills on tho old rot eare cut out
' nnd now we have an easy grade
around tho Vestal hill and the Rocky
hill; tho grade on the new road Is
Just tine and after tho ground be
comes packed we will have a fine
road all the way to the Falls. The
grade around Rocky hill should be
widened some and more turnouts
made. Stopping at Derby on my
way home I mot Mr. Swleart, the
Derby merchant, and he Informs me
that business is becoming bettor all
tho time and tho principal trouble
with him is to get In goods enough
to supply tho datnand. Ho also tells,
me that a strong tn6vo li on foot'
