port. He viii remain there few days un.
til ting arrives, which viii take him and
his party down to UmpquA. Mr.. McWillis
says that Habersham's survey shows that the
entrance to Alsea Bay is one Of the very best
on the Coast. This viii be good news to the
people In that locality, and viii have the
effect Of opening up their country. The
steamer AEer. Duncan will very probably
call there hereafter, thus giving them an op-
pOFtunity of getting their products into mar
ket. That viii be very good, but it is not
enough; the people there should never rest
until they connect Alsea valley with the
Bay by constructing good road between the
two points. There is money already sub
scribed for the work, and there is not a man
ever there that cannot afford to subscribe a
months work on that road.

in the city treasury, and consequently con-
siderable excitement was caused when It was

treasurer has used the public funds for phi
vate purposes, and either his bOndsmen or
his friends viii have to make the city good
in the sum of s6S2sS We very much de-
plore the necessity of having to chrOnicIe
such an event, but we have it to do. The
