The Grand Ronde Trail.

We are informed by persons who have
come. over this trail since its completion,
in addition to the statements of those who
took the Job of cutting it out, that it is in
every respect good pack trail and will
admit tie passage of animals without the
slightest hindrance or obstruction. The
express messenger who left here on Thurs
day took this trail, and both mess engers
will hereafter travel it instead of going
around by the Umatilla and across the
mountains into the Grand Ronde. Other
parties have also left for Powder river du-
ring the week by this route. We are sat
isfed from the representations received that
the trail is a good one, and will soon be
travelled by all who have business between
this place and the Powder river mines. The
trip can be easily made from here to the
Grand Ronde valley in one day. Those
gentlemen who have not paid their sub
scriptions to open this trail, are invited to

DEATH OF Mr. HARVEY GoRDoN.-We
are deeply panied to learn that Mr.. Cor
don, editor in charge of the Oregon States
man. died at the residence of Mr. Jesse
Applegate, in Umpqua county, on the Sd
inst. For several months past Mr.. Gordon
had been afflicted with a severe cough, and
settling on his lungs, terminated his life.
A month or six weeks since, finding that
his health was rapidly declining, he retired
from his editorial labors and proceeded to
the Umpqua valley in hope of recovering
his health. Mr.. Gordon was an estimable
man, an able and vigorous writer. The
readers of the Statesman will regret his loss
to that paper, and the State will mourn the
decease of a most useful citizen Mr.. Cor
don was the public printer elect.
