FAp1Ne.-The light from the city o

FADING.-The light from the city of
Umatilla Landing is said to be fading away.
Already the streets wear the appearance of
~of ''city of the plains," in consequence of
the accumulated sand and dust, which, driv
en- before the high winds that prevail there,
is beginning to assume pyramdial forms
against the ShantieS where it is blown. The
barren desert on which the town is situated
looks dreary enough now, with not a spear
of grass in sight, while the heat reflected
from the scorcbing sands is almost intolera-
able The tenderfooted pack trains as they
travel over this desert waste elevate their
pedals like a turkey in bed Of Goals, and
sigh for the grass plots which they cannot
fad until they have borne their weary
loads" fifteen miles from the city The dust
covered roofs Of the houses give them lhe air
of the deserted adobes that were long ago
piled upon the highlands Of Soath America,
and the only thing now required to COM
plete the resembag,ce is The lonely wall of
the night ow, echoing from the tops Of the
buildings and which will ere long mingIe
with that Of the dismal howl Of the cayote
that shall come thther for shelter, when
the packers have entirely ceased to visit the
snot The hundreds of adventurers who
Aocked thitber two and three mouths ago
to speculate in corner-lots have decamped
to more genial abodes, leaving their lots to
the tender mercies of the winds and sands,
convinced that the risk Of leaving them to
. return and find them entirely under ground
? is preferable to remaing there and running
the chances Of being themselves covered up
