POWDER RIvER.-We have nothing
later from Powder river than that hereto
fore published. These mines hoNeve are
attracting quite A la,ge proportion of the
mining emigration thitherward, and the in
dica'ions now are that they will prove a
strong rival to Salmon river. The proba-
biluy is that the entire country south of
this place will be thoroughly prospected
this summer, and the arrangements entered
into by Government to treat with the
Snake Ind ms will, we anticipate, bring
about some important gold discoveries in
that direction.

THAT BRIDGE.-The much needed and
oft-talked about bridge across Mill Creek,
at the upper end of this city will probably
be built before long. The County Com
missioners have from time to time been cen
sured for not taking some action in this
matter but this has been without Just cause.
from the fact that the road leading in that
direction mas yer been laid out as a coun-
ty road, and therefore the Commissioner.
have had no authority to invest count,
funds in building bridge there. In fact
this may be said in justification of the Com
missioners in relation to improvements up
on any of the roads in the valley for We
believe there is not ore regularly Laid out
county road in the county. We are in
formed that several petitions for roads will
be presented to the Commissioners at their
meeting on Monday next, and among them
one PRAYING for the location o. road lead
ing from this city in the direction of the
Coppei. The road once located, the Com
missioncrs will be free to act, and we doubt
not they will do so. The people of this
city are eminently interested in theerection
of this bridge, and from the fact that full
two-thirds of ;he revenue which the county
has heretofore received has come out of their
pockets, it is but just and equitable that a
fair proportion of the county funds should
be expended in such manner as will be di-
rectly beneficial to them. At all events,
the bridge should be built as soon as pos
sble, and if the county is unable to do the
whole of the work without too much neg
lecting needed improvements in other pOr-
tions of the county, in which the people
here are interested as we'll, the deficit should
be raised by the city or by subscription.
The latter method would perhaps be best
for the citizens, as the expenses incident to
the organization of the city government will
most likely be all that it can meet for the
present year. We have heard gentlemen
say they would subscribe literally to such
a work, provided the county would perform
a reason -ble proportion ofit and now that
the only serious obstacle which has here
tofore been in the way of the erection of this
much needed bridge is about to be removed,
we hope to see the work begun immedi-
ately.

WAGON ROAD TO THE GRAND RoNDE
VALLEY. W learn that there is a feast
BILE route for a wagon road to the Grand
Ronde Valley from this place, by which a
saving of near forty miles in distance can
be made over that of the usually travelled
road ria the Umati a. The Importance of
making good road in that direction must
be apparen: to all our business men. We
would like to see some energetic movement
made at orce that would insure the control
of the trade there. 1t will be too late to
look after these things when the boat has
left US; but having all the natural advan-
tages in our favor, it only remains for the
people here to improve them now to secure
the permanent trade of that country. What
ever advantages route may possess in re-
gard to distance or quality of road, they are
worthless unless improved. We, therefore
hope few suggestions, opportunely made
may awake a spirit Of enterprise among our
citizens in this regard, and insure early and
prompt attention to the matter.
CoURT.-The District Court has been in
session here during the week, Judge Oil
phan', presiding. An unusual number of
lawyers are present, among whom are some
of the first talent in the Territory. We are
eased also to notice among them our old
friend ]. A. Odell, Esq, of Dalles, Oregon.
Judge Oliphant seems to win the respect of
all, and the lawyers have doubtless well
sustained the reputation of tie profession for
wit and mirthfulness. We can testify, at
least, that they are inclined to maintain the
dignity of the court by the observance of the
& professional license in sitting in the
usual way with their feet upon the ta-
bles. The docket is large, and ill proba-
bly, occupy the court two or three weeks.
LOOKS WELL ON PAPER.-Notwith tand-
ing the other editor could not find the
city of Walula on his way through there
week before last, and the inhabitants Of ye
ancient place could not, or did not g sho "

the Clerks office in this city, where it has
been recorded and it looks veil, too No

of this city.

PAcKING.-We notice that quite number of
persons who left this city early in the spring for
Salmon river have returned. having sold out their
supplies at Slate creek at large profits, and are
