FAvoRsBuRa.- The latest new town
east of the mountains is located on
the Pataha, three miles above Pom
eroy, and is thus described by an
exchange: " Favorsburg is the name
of the coming city, situated on the

Vine Favor, after whom it is named.
County Surveyor Alex. Beal sur
veyed out the town and also mill
race recently. The mill is to be
erected as soon as lumber can be
put on the ground, at the mouth of
gulch opening into the Pataha,
and is to be run by very strong
spring coming down said gulch, hav-
eighty feet fall in less than one
fourth of mile. It will start in
July with three run of bnrrs, after
which more will be added if re-
quired. A store and butcher shop
will soon be in readiness to supply

Moses AND His BAND.-Mr. Charles
Mckay passed through here last
Monday, says the Goldendale Sun,
carrying q dispatch from General
Howard to Chief Moses. He says
that Moses has 1900 warriors, is
well armed and desperate; a large
part OF his baud is composed of
renegades from other tribes; the
Indians on the reservations sympa.
thize with Moses, with few excep-
tions, and that in case of an out.
break Moses would be reinforced by
1000 or 5000 reservation Indians.
If this should be the case, it would
take 20, 900 troops to capture him.
Moses says he dosen't want to fight,
but if the whites want to fight, he
is ready, and if he is taken to the
reservation, he will be taken there
dead.

Sc We read that thousands Of
people in and around New York are
try ing to sell their property with a
view of moving west. From the
Western States thousands are COM
lug to the Pacific coast. An Iowa

wagons, en- route for the Pacific.
coast, have crossed the Missouri
river. The hard times in the East
has something to do with this exodus
of the people, together with the over

BRIDGE IMpRovEMENrs.-The plank
ing on the East Olympia bridge has
been turned over and relaid, and a
roadway built in the center, of four
inch cedar plank, laid lengthways
with the street. The durability of a
roadway, constructed in this manner
remains, of course, to- be tested, but
for smoothness it is a decided im.
provement over the old road, and the
passage of vehicles as consequence
is attended with scarcely any noise
and produces but little vibration Of
the superstructure.
