ROAD TO OCHOCO.

1t is APPARENT to every thinking mind
that if the merchants of the Dallcs ex-
pect to control tho trade of the interior
of the county, we must build roads. The
road leading to the new settlement in the
0choco Valley and the country adjacent,
leaves the Canyon City road at Gross
Hollows, some sixty miles south of this
city. From this point there is an old
road used by Major Stein of the u. S.
Army, some years ago, in trying to make
direct passage to Salt Lake City, but in
which We believe he did not succeed
This road at the present time is almost
impossible; it is rocky and very rough,
without any side hill grading whatever.
To make this road SO that loaded teams
can pass each way it will be necessary to
grade the hill leading out of Trout creek,
coming this way, and also to remove most
of the rock between that point and the
Canyon City road. We should Judge
that FIVE or six hundred dollars ju6 icions-
" expended would put the road in pass
able condition. The difference in the
distance from Oohoco Valley to Albany
and to the Dalles is very little, probably
not more than twenty-five miles in favor
of the Dalles. The people of the VILLAIN
ette Valley will most assuredly control
this trade if we do not make an effort to
prevent il. They have already built an
excellent road from Lebanon in Linn
County to these new settlements, and
judging from what the Valley papers say,
the travel over this road the coming sum-
mer will be very large. The additions to
our population from this source alone will
most likely not be less than one hundred
families, and to our wealth in live stock
not less than one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars.
As the Dalles is the County seat it will
be necessary for the most of these people
to come here several times during the

OLD TYPE.-A late Oregonian says
!" The first font of type ever put in
case in Oregon, was thrown in by Mr..
John Fleming, of Oregon City, in
February, ls4e, preparatory to the
first issue of the Spectator. Since
then it has experienced various fort
unes. 1t was used in the publication
of the Spectator while that journal
lived, and if we mistake not, in the
Argus, which was published many
years aftcrward at Oregon City. It
has been used at Eugene City and al
so at Astoria, at the latter place in
the Gazette Office. Thence it returned
to Oregon City, when Mr.. ireland
commenced the publication of the I'm
tesprise, and has remained there since,
till d. y before yesterday, when Mr..
Ireland brought it to this city and
sold it to the Willamette Iron Works,
as old and worn out type, to be used
in making box metal. On-the day i:
was packed in the Enterprise Office for
removal, Mr.. Fleming came in and
bade farewell to the old friends (the
type of twenty-three years ago."

A WONDERFUL CAVE.

The Kansas City Times has a
lengthy account of the discovery of a
wonderful cave, near Barry, Clay
county, Mo. A Mr. Mosby, in dig
gIng a well, broke through the crust
of rock that forms the top of the cave.
When first opened the air rushed out
with noise like thunder. After this
subsidized, two bold youths ventured
into the opening. The vault was
about eight feet in height-the top
rejecting the light of their lamps
with great brilliancy. Forfvc hours
they wandered about from one room
to another of this cave. Nothing
very remarkable was found, except a
great many fossils, which in color
"resembled the chrysoberyl.p Fur
ther information can be obtained by
visiting the locality.

helplessly down, unable to raise a
