Railroad Survey.

MT Hood, IN charge of one of the parties
surveying route for the California and
Oregon railroad, has completed the nre-
nmlnary survey of two routes from the
hiamath River to the summit of the Siski-
you Mountains. One of these SURVEYS
reaches the summit at the roint crossed by
the stage road the other at an other de-
preston In the summit about half a mile
distant. One of these routes follows the
llne OF Cottonwood Greek; the other is
farther to the east; both are practicable
lt Is the opinion of Mr.. Hood that. if the
road be built on the Shasta Valley survey
the route along Cottonwood Creek will be-
chosen This route follows down said
creek till within about a mile of the
klamath River, and then follows nm the
north bank of that stream to noint on
posite the mouth of Willow Creek The
line through Shasta Valley follows down
Willow creek to its mouth, and will cross
the klamath Kiver at or near that point
The summit of the mountain can be reach.
ed on uniform grade. from this point
OF 30 feet to the mile And by tunneline
the summit, the grade can be reduced to
~ feet to the mile. This week the partv
has run line for Branch road from the
main llne, near the emgran: crossing of
Shasta River into Yreka. Their branch
line crosses the ridge between Yreka and
Shasta River through the low divide be-
yond the graveyard and follows near the
line of the stage road to the neighborhood
OF DIR Wadsworths residence on the east
side Of Yreka Creek 1t is about 7 miles
IN length. The main road can be reached
at nearer point, but to do so it will be
necessary to cross Shasta River. The alti-
tude of the point where the survey termi-
mates on the east bank of Yreka Greek, is
2,645 feet above tide water. This result
is obtained by actual measurement Mr..
Hood does not think the main line of the
road will ever pass through Yreka; the
expense of constructing it from here to
Cottonwood would be enormous, while the
cost of building ii on the line run through
Shasta Valley, will be extremely light.
These considerations make him think the
Shasta Valley route will be selected

"A g g N t ..
Revenue Reform.

The President, in his message. has a
splendid passage-a passage that will be-
come famous-on the subject of Revenue
Reform. Hear him and heed what he
SAYS
With the revenue stamp dispensed by
postmasters in every community, tax upon
liquors of all sorts and tobacco in all its
forms, and by wise adjustment of the
tariff, which will pur duty only upon
those articles which we could dispense
with, known as luxurie,, and on those
which We Use mo e of than we produce,
revenue enough may be raised after few
years OF peace and consequent reduction of
Indebtedness, to fulfill all our obligations.
A further reduction of expenses in addi
tion to a reduction of interest account,
may be relied on to make this practicable
Revenue reform, if it means this, has
my early support. If it implies a collec-
ton OF all the revenue for the support of
Government tor the payment of the prin-
clpal and interest on the public debt, pen
sions, etc by direct taxation on the peo-
pie, then am against revenue reform, and
confidently believe the people are with me.
If it means failure to provide the necessary
means TO defray all the expenses of the
Government, and thereby repudiate the
public debt, then | am still more opposed
to such kind ,frevenue reform. Revenue
reform has not been defned by any of its
advocates to my knowledge; but it seems
to be accepted as something which is to
supply every an 5 wants without any cost
or effort on his part. A true revenue
reform cannot be made in u day, but must
be the work of national legislation and OF
time.
As soon as the revenue can be dispensed
with, all duty should be removed from
coffee, tie and other articles of universal
use not produced by ourselves. The ne
cessIties OF the country compel us to col
iect revenue trom our imports. An army
OF assessors and collectors is not pleasant
sight to the citizens, but thai or tariff tor
revenue Is necessary. Such tariff acts
as an encouragement to home products,
affords employment to labor at living
wages in contrast to the pauper labor of
the Old World, and also in the develop
ment of home resources

A FRoNTIERsMAN.-An Oregon pa

genuine old backwoodsman A few DAYS

wild looking driver seemed to labor under
great excitement, cracking his black snake
round the legs of his spawned horses, and
yelling at every jump they made. "Hal-

kooshen America? Z" We explained the
object of his inquiries lay about twelve
hundred miles to the northward, and inst
as hard to reach as Jordan" besides be-
ing almost uninhabited, except by Indians
and grizzlies. He gave yell that would
have made an Apache ashamed of himself
and said 'I'm on it. That's the place
I'm hunting for. I've heard the big folks
in Washington have boughten a tract
where thars nothing but bars and Iniuns.
and them's the only neighbors l want /
lived in old Missouri, stranger" he added,
"and I'll be dog goned, stranger, if the
dam railroads hain't cut the country all to
pieces and druv the game all away. I've
heard 'em talking about making one in
Oregon, and I'll just be burned if want

DEMOCRATIC SENTIMENTS. Ot-
tumna Iowa. Democrat, gives vent to the
following democratic sentiment ON LIN
coins monument:
This should not be allowed to stand
twenty four hours in the democratic city of
New York While Old Abe was alive, he
hated Democratic new ork He sent
his troops there during the riots, and if he
had dared, he would ave imprisoned half
the Democrats in the city. New York
voted against him with an overwhelming
majority. The grand imperial city dis
carded and denounced the rough, uncouth
Lincoln in his lite, and she detests his
memory when dead. Tie storue O Abra-
ham Lincoln ,ciU not stand A few
pounds Of powder placed behind it will
blow the damDable thing to atoms And
We will rejoice when the telegraph brings
the news that Abraham. Linculn's statue
in New York is blown to pieces Not
that we war against dead man, but we
do protest against these demonstrations in
favor. of a despot and tyrant
Abe Lincoln was despot, and he met a
tyraDts fate. Let every Democrat resolve
and swear that Lincoln shall be remem
bered as despot, and if tn, Union Lea
CUES put up monuments to commemorate
his atrocious acts Of tyranny, let US blow
them down with gunpowder and nitro
glycerine!
We will thus show our hatred of ty-
rant and learn to future generations that
the deeds of bad man can never be tor
gotten or glossed over with the praise OF
hlrelinss aud political prostitutes +!

The diamond mines of South Africa
promise to do for that country what the
gold mines have done for California and
Australia. Thousands fpeople-English,
Americans, and Germans-have aocked
to the region where the precious gems are
found, and busy from early in the morn
ing till late at night digging, sitting, and
working the gravelly soil. As in the case
OF gold, too, the average cost of every dia-
mond is fully equal to its value. Where
one miner is lucky in his search, dozen
are unlucky; and only a few of the dia-
monds thus far discovered are free from
flaws and discoloration. The business is a
lottery, in which few draw prizes and the
rest blanks
