the present bill, for while there might be,
and probably was, ground for serious COM
plant, he did not think the bill would rene>
dy the evils, and it would probably have the
effect to deter capital from seeking invest
ment in the State, at the very time when we
needed it for the development of our re-
sources. On motion of Mr. Riley, the pre-
vious question was demanded and sustained
and the bill was rejected by vote Of 26 to 50.

We understand that Col. Morrow, COM
handing Vancouver Barracks, has addressed
an official communication to the Board of
County Commissioners, proposing certain
change in the roads leading through the
military reservation. The Colonel proposes
to divert the road leading to Fourth Plain
at point on the north line of the reserve
and conduct it in southwest direction un-
til it meets the middle road, which there
after shall be the leading road from the
northeast into the town of Vancouver.
This proposed change is rendered necessary
by certain improvements to be made in the
military post which will interfere with travel
over the old road.
The Colonel, we understand, asks the
Commissioners also to provide road on the
east of the reserve, so as to connect the
Mill Plain road with the river road, thereby
disseminating the road now running in the
rear of officers quarters. These proposed
changes are submitted in spirit of good
feeling as being better for the accommoda-
tion of both the military authorities and the
citizens of the county. In case the changes
are made the military authorities will assist
in putting the new roads in proper condition
for travel

From Weston, Oregon.

We are permitted to copy the following
from letter written Jan. lst to Jacob
Proebstel, ST., by his son George w. Proeb-
stel, which will interest many of our read
ers:
The weather is very mild now, no snow,
and quite warm, like spring. We have had
more rain here this winter than common for
this climate, and the ground is well filled
with moisture, a thing essential to good
crop year. We killed last week "a head of
hogs making IL ,254 pounds gross weight, or
33l pounds per head dressed. The heaviest
one dressed 5l5 lbs, the next heaviest one
495 lbs., and the lightest one dressed 225 lbs,
and our Casper is making sausages by the
cord. Have built a packing-h house and a
brick smoke-house, and will perhaps have a
nice lot of bacon and hams next spring
We have about 80 or 100 more to kill, but
they will not be so large as those that we
killed. In connection with our hog indus
try we keep the mill humming days, and
have sent away quite pile of flour, say
since the LIST September, something like
5000 barrels, and have wheat enough to
make 800 barrels more, bought and paid
for So you see then, we are doing some
thing, and if wheat should 60 up before long
we will do we'll
Times are a great deal better than any
former year, although there is plenty Of
wheat yet not Sold l have rented my
ranch to man, and will have all of it in
grain this year, and when get title for it
l will have l60 acres of land. The whole
country will be taken up in 1882 from the
Dalles to the Rocky mountains, I believe,
as saw Mr.. Alex. Coffee at Pendleton the
other day, and he tells me he has all he can
do, besides there are many other surveyors
locating lands.

Orlando G. Miller succeeds to the honors
and emoluments of the apprenticeship in
road district No. 10, Cowlitz Co., displacing
G. Kalahan, who retires to the shade Of pri-
vate life. So mote it be.
There is said TO be band of wild cattle
ranging over the Chelatchie country, which
is yearly augmented by accessions from the
settlers stock. But a few years since there
was band on the East fork, but owing to
the assiduous efferts of certain public spir-
tied citizens it was slowly but surely exter-
minated, although to some minds there was
something suggestive in the fact that for
every wild bovine reported shot, settler
missed one of his most sedate steers or mild
hammered old cows, without leaving foot
print on the sands of time.
John Colvin arrived down from the upper
country the last day of December, his son
Thomas coming up a few weeks before him
from down the Columbia, where he had been

On Saturday, the 7th inst, Mrs. Holns-
worth, of the North fork of Lewis river, in
company with her husband and sister Mrs.
James Lewis, were riding towards La Cen
ter, and when about half mile from home
she was thrown from her horse and broke
her leg. Two young men, David Backman
and George Bratton, were near the spot, and
David brought team and wagon and con-
veyed her home. George rode to La Center
and brought DIR. Davis, and about o'clock
in evening it was set. Up to this date, the
| 18th, she has been doing well.
The same week Mrs. Amanda Colvil, of
the North fork, while riding home from La
Center, was thrown, or fell from her horse
and remained insensible for some time. Her
head was badly injured. She lies at her
| niece's, Mrs. H. Brooks, La Center, in q
very precarious condition. Her husband was
below trading, and has been sent for.
Mrs. c. c. Bozarth is i'll, at home. Mr.
John s. Bozarth has had another severe at
tack. Eddy Gardner was brought home
from working on the Den Drop, sick.
Miss Eliza Lewis commenced her school
in the new school house in district No. 40 on
the first Monday Of 1882, and Mr. Robb,
School Supt., paid her visit on the 18th.
The ladies of said district 40 will hold ball
in Lewis river hall, Bratton's landing, on
the evening of St. Valentines day. They
will provide nuts, candies and lemonade, and
there will be q "post-office" kept, and vot-

Mr.. Maxwell; at Forest City, of Mr.. c. c.
