communication from E. C. Holden,
secretary of the Atstoriu & Soutli
Coast rullw ay, in which the informa
tion is given that the directors of
the road will hold a meeting to

several communications from the
Suleni Hoard of Trade, in relation

Holden says the further considera

tlio railway company and the Salem

Astorians had received the false in
formation thnt Salem had organized
and Incorporated a separate com
pany for tlio construction of the
proposed line. Tills accounts for
the delay. The Journal repeats,
that if wo desire to secure this road

A Hermit's Strange Death.
Yesterday morning the decom
posed remains of Matthew Harrison,
u peculiar old man who resided near
Lake Lablsli, were fouud in the
woods near his home. He was a
strange hermit-like old man who
lived quite to himself among the
trees, guarding his ilocks and tilling
the soil. Frequently ho would dis
appear and and remain absent, no
one knew where, for several weeks
and unheralded would re-appear.
Living a lone life, little was known
of him and his absence was not
noticed. Yesteiday morning Alex
Lallemme, an old hunter and trap
per of that vicinity, was following a
trail near old man Hanison's cabin
when he was startled at coming
upon the outstretched form of the
old hermit. The sheriff aud coro
ner were at once notilled and an in
quest Is now being held.
It is supposed the old man had
been dead a couple of weeks, as his
beard had dropped out aud the
flesh was falling from his bones,
He has no known relatives. Heleaves
quite a little property, consisting of
160 sheep aud eighty acres of land.
No cause is assigned for his death,
other than that lie was taken with
a flt.whilo wandering through the
wood and expired, being too weak
to reach tho cabin.

OCCIDENTAL JOTTINGS.
And Notes of a General
tcrest to tho Westerner.
In-
A supposed case of smallpox has
developed In Albany, tho patient
being James East.
Tho Yaqulna Republican says
Mehama is becoming quite a sum
mer resort for tho citizens of
Salem.
1400 men are now engaged in
grading and general construction on
tho Oregon Pacific road, and splen
did progress Is being made.
Physicians estimate that in the
nelghbornood of 10,000 persons in
Portland were vaccinated since the
appearance of smallpox in that city.
The steamer Yaquina Bay still re
mains on the rocks alongside the
jetty aud is gradually breaking up.
There seems to be no further hope
of saving the vessel.
Tho teachers' institute for the
Second Judicial District, appointed
to meet at Corvallis, on the 2oth,
27th and 28th of this month, has
been postponed, in view of the
fact thut contagious diseases are pre
vailing to a limited extent in various
parts of the state.
The Coqulllo valley papers claim
that tho climate of that valley has
so changed in the last twenty years
that grapes, corn, tobacco and
sorghum which would not do any
good down there at all twenty years
ago, are now cultivated with com
plete success.
A great deal of freight is awaiting
shipment over the Oregon Pacific's
line and the loss or disablement of
the Yaquina Bay will cause great
inconvenience, unlessanother steam
er can be put on in her place imme
diately. Mr. Hoa says this will be
done, and the well-Known energy of
the officers is a guaianteo that noth
ing shore of impossibilities will pre
vent tho company Troiii meeting
even tills difficulty with its accus
tomed readiness.
