On to Wood River.

We learn from a reliable source
that Mr.. Collins, of the firm of Col
Inns d Stevens, contractors on the
Oregon Short Line railway, is now
in the Wood River country for the
purpose of letting contracts for grad.
ing the road up Wood River to Hal.
ley. This road is to run up Big
Wood river from where the Oregon
Short Line crosses that stream. The
distance is about sixty miles, and il
is proposed to build this branch road
as soon as possible. Grading from
Snake river to the crossing of Wood
river is being pushed, and men and
teams are scattered along the entire
distance of eighty miles. The grade
will soon be completed, when tho
force will be moved farther on so AZ
to extend the road on toward Baker
City, Oregon, as fast as possible. l,
will not surprise us if Wood River
ores are brought out nearly all til,
way by rail before next spring.-Sal

Martin S. Donahue, the express
man who left for the upper country
about ten days ago, went direct to
Sawtooth, whence he writes to the
TINES, under date Of the 9th instant,
AS follows:
Mine was the third wagon that ar
rived in Sawtooth this season. To
cross the range when | did was quite
an undertaking, as the people all
told me, when | got to Galena, that
it was impossible to take even an
empty wagon in. But, the stage
having just gone over for the first
time | thought | could go too,
SO | started. l had scarcely
got two miles from Galena,
when both Of my horses sud
denly broke through the snow, and
went clear ont of sight. | couldn't
see anything sticking out but the
tops of their ears. We went to work
shoveling, and after couple of hours
hard work we got them out, made n
corduroy of branches and trees,
hitched the horses to the axle of the
wagon, and got it out. This took us
nearly all day, so We camped for the
night. AT o'clock the next morn.
ing we hurried up the grade on TOP
OF the frozen snow, and reached the
divide about noon, just as the snow
began to get soft, having made abou,
half mile an hour since morning. Il
is the hardest trip ever made in my
life.

A Meeting to Take Steps to Have Altn.
ras County Represented at Denver.
A meeting was held in the Childs
building, in this city, last Saturday
evening, for the purpose of taking
some organized action to collect spec
linens Of the mines of Alturas coun
ty, have them properly catalogued,
and sent to the Denver Exposition.
Texas Angel was elected Chairman
and J. NJ. Woodwork, secretary.
A committee of three was appoint
ed to act on behalf of the citizens,
the said committee to consult with
Secretary Singiser, who will act as
Commissioner for this Territory, and
have charge of the Territorial ex-
hibit.
1t was stated by gentleman pres
ent that parties interested in Wood
River would be at Denver to super
intend the placing Of specimens in a
proper manner
Specimens Of one and two hun
dred pounds are already pledged
from several prominent mines. Spec
linens are solicited from all parts of
the county. Each specimen will be
assayed, and the value in silver and
lead attached with the assayer's GER
tificatc. A description of the ledge
and formation should accompany
each specimen.
1t is hoped that the mine owaers
will attend to this at once, for if a
proper showing is made Wood River
will hold no second place on the list.
Specimens can be sent to any of the
committee. Nothing will so widely
advertise Wood River as n proper
showing at Denver in August. All
the mining world will be there to see.
Therefore let every man send his
specimens right along if he wishes to
advertise his claim.
The specimens can be sent to III.

A CuR1os1TY.-A large turtle was
captured in the outlet of Hummel's
lake, in the town Sigel, by Chas. Fors-
ter's children, last Thursday, which Is
the most singular find of the season.
The turtle across the back is as large
as the head of ia barrel and on the
shell is inscribed in plain figures,
"1811." It is apparent that the carv.
ing was done many years ago, and it is
to be regretted that the author did
not add his name. It is hardly prot.
able that this vicinity was visited by
white men seventy.one years ago, and
the only satisfactory conclusion that
can be reached is that the turtle
is an emigrant from some point on the
lower Mississippi. Mr.. Forster put
the turtle in his corn crib with tho in.
tention of re-marking it with the pres
ent date, but during the night the old
stager gained his liberty and scamper.
ed off and so far all efforts to recapture
him have proved futile.

company In America that allows the
farmer voice In the appraisement In

lowing Is the way this company ap.
praises the damage done by hail: The
farmer appoints one man and the com.

age, and that damage will be paid
by this company promptly. No other
