tL than folly TO expect anything from the Pa
esoc Mail Company Who the fAvcr!to nephews Of TN
Gle sam He has lent them ear aud closed his eye.
Gu his poor relations IN the Umpqua Valley.
Oar natural uncle must keep Q sharp look out,
these same poor relatives will b rich enough for b
mail company Of their own by and by. The rapid
spread OF the express business Is again typi6ed in
Oregon, and Il seems that private enterprise has
again been at lie old work Of beating the United
States mail.
The Scottsburses are evidently progressive.
Witness the following
OuR WAeos RoAD.-we are happy to inform the
farmers and merchants Of the upper portion Of our
understand that the last bent Of Elk Creek bridge Ia
to be raised tomorros; and the commissioners as
sure US that the road will be open in few weeks.
They are determined not to have q town without
some way Of getting to it. and the "farmers and
merchants" will no doubt find that the wagon
roadr will do very well until it is replaced by a
railroad.
The inner man is also to be cared for In this new
town, as is evident from the following first rate
notice.
new SALooS-Mr. L. L. Williams has opened
splendid saloon on Commercial street, opposite to
Merritt, Oppenheimer Co.'s store. We wish him
success. On opening, few evenings since, Mr..
Williams treated numerous party Of friends to o
fine oyster supper.
The Oregon oysters are said to be very good.
They eel at from one to five dollars each at San
Francisco. A "few on the half shell" would be sn
expensive luxury at those rates.
Here Is the only ship news item in the Gaseite;--
The schooner Frances Helen left our wharf on the
llth, and Is anchored ct present below Brandy Bar,
taking in cargo of lumber for San Francisco. She
win be ready for sea in few days,
Tho Frances Helen, we trust, is the pioneer TO q
large feet.
Scottsburg is not without ite.ateurs, as will be
seen by the following
To ous CORRESPONDENTS. q. e. will be at
tended to in our next.
The communication from our friend the Emperor
Of Japan Is in course Of translation and will appear
in good time.
The concluding paragraph is probabya private
joke, but we zee no reason why Oregon people
should not be as funny as anybody else.
A bit Of sporting intelligence comes in well Just
here:--
A black bear was killed in the river yesterday,
about twelve miles below this place, BY party Of
men who were descending the river In boat. lie was
brought up on the Washington.
There was q chance for Mr.. Williams to treat his
friends to bear steak.
The paper then informs us that "the miners in
the vicinity of Randolph arc doing WE'LL" and that
'business in Scottsburg has been increasing steadily
for the last three weeks"
There Is no more editorial or items Of local inte-
rest but the selections are very good and there is
column Of advertisements. We give the prices cur.
