Anew A1sea Road Being Opened.

Mr. Seelv of Alsea Valley kindly informs
us that the road leading from Alsea to
Monroe has. been graded around what is
termed the big kenyon that being the worst
intention of the people of that Valley to
commence at the west end of the road and
put it through. When the road is COM
pleted it is the hopes of the people that
they will have much better road to travel
over in the mountains than the old one up
Mary's river. 1t is said to be almost as
near for person wanting to go to Alsea
Valley from here as the old one. Perhaps
two or three miles further only and much
less distance through mountains.

little more than what she already has

A New Steamer Reached.

The new steam launch recently built at
Portland by Berhe and Co., to run on the
Yaquina bay and river, was being towed
from Astoria by the Kate and Anna; while
bringing her into the bay at Yapuina, the
roughness of the sea caused her to Iurch
forward and entangled her propeller in the
tow line. The Captain of the Kate and
Anna then cut her loose and she then drift
ed down about two miles and the parties
aboard of her succeeded in Bleaching her on
South beach. A lot of men went down
to where she was and succeeded in getting
her off the beach. It was the intention to
bring her across the point and launch her
near.the government works. At last ac-
counts she was out of danger and suffered
no damage of any consequence. She is said
TO be handsome craft with nice cabin.

New Arrivals in our Town .'From afar II.

New Arrivals in our Town "From afar f. -
On last Friday evening there arrived in
our town Mr.. S. w. Look and wife, the
parents of Mr.. s. A. Look of our town;
they were accompanied by their daughter
Miss Lizzie J. Look and also by Mrs.
Vaughn and Miss May Vaughn, wife and
daughter of Mr.. Z. C. Vaughn of our town.
They came ''all the way from Maine" and
as we are informed enjoyed the trip well
This is the second time Mr.. Look has been
to Oregon. He was part owner and captain
of ship which he brought round the Horn
to California during the gold excitement of
lS49, and before returning, in about 1880,
made trip up to Oregon. He was also en-
board the steamer Central America when
she sunk, about "a years ago, off Cape Hat
terass and was one of 40 who escaped alive
out of abtut 500 aboard Mr. Look is now
about 70 years of age and although his ex-
periences on land and water have been
varied yet he stood his recent long trip
overland remarkably well for a man of his
age. These parties have all come to make
Oregon their home.

Mrs. James Taylor has been sick at her
residence for about two weeks, and also
her sister and Mr.. Taylor during last week.
Their sickness is said by the doctors to have
been caused by the effects of sewer which
the city attempted to build just across the
street from their residence, bnt failed and
neglected to complete it. and have left it
unfinished in the middle of town as pois-
onous and fostering sore to contaminate all
who were so unfortunate as to live near it.
MIR. w. B. Hamilton who lives alongside
of it and who has been sick for couple OF
months and his sickness is said to be caused
by the same influence.

Hurlburt's surveying party have found
good route from the Siskiyou pass over to
the head of Emigrant creek. They will
cross the Linkville stage road at, or very
near, Tyler's, and then keep on the north
side of the valley. How the route will be
this side of there is still question. There
will be much rough work encountered, no
doubt, but not as much as down Bear creek,
Mr.. Hurlburt thinks. The hills are nearly
bare of timber most of the way on the
northeast side of Euaigrant creek, and the
surveyors can make much faster progress
than through the forests on Bear creek.

A CoWardly. Act.

The story of a very savage piece of busi-
ness comes to our ears from the Mountain
Mills, says the Yamhill Reporter, wherein
Cur good friend, Mrs. Petch barely escaped
with her life, one evening last week.
While Mr.. and Mrs. Petch were standing
at the gate, ball from Spencer rife came
whizzing at them. 1t grazed Mrs. Petchs
arm and struck the fence at her side. Just
then her eyes were attracted by the smoke
of the gun, several hundred yards away up
the hillside. and she caught a glimpse of a
man as he lodged through the brush. Mrs
Petch certainly escaped a most perilous
snare, If all accounts prove true, as she is
confident the shot was aimed squarely at
her for deadly mission. Much as we may
loathe the idea of fellow citizen with a
heartful of such dreadful malice, yet SO it
is currently reported, and we simply refer
to it IS we have repeatedly heard it.
Further details are given us, which we
deem prudent to withhold under present
circumstances.

A Horse Jumps OF of a Bluff Some Forty Feet
10 Below.
On last Sunday afternoon while Mr.. Isaac
Simpson of Elk City was riding along the
road between that place and Pioneer, with
a young lady, Miss T. Morrison, in buggy
drawn by one horse; the points of the shafts
slipped backwards and struck the horse be-
hind the shoulder, which scared him, caus-
lug him to jump the grade and all hands,
load, buggy, horse and harness tumbled
down the side hill all in heap some forty
feet below. No one was seriously hurt ex-
cept Miss Morrison whose shoulder was
dislocated during the fall. The horse sue
ceeded in kicking harness and buggy loose
from him and then climed up the hill on to
the road again. Mr.. Simpson succeeded
in gathering the buggy and remnants of
harness together and got them up onto the
grade and soon hitched them to the
horse again. Not long after the accident
all hands were drawn by the same horse
and in the same vehicle on their way to
visit DR.. F. M. Carter who reduced the in
jured shoulder. They then went home and
on Monday morning Miss Morrison was
resting quite as comfortable as could be ex
pected.

manner, in which Agent Swami treated them
while they were there. Mr.. Thos. Horn
ing took the ague on the trip which made it
disagreeable and unpleasant for him.

A Curious Effect of a Seaside Visit.

One of our townsmen famous as an ex-
pert with paste pot and scissors, while on a
trip to the sea-shore recently, it is said,
found personal attractions in the cooking
department of one of the principal hotels,
where he was stopping, in the person of a
young lady. So much so did these allure
ments attract him that he found it no use
to attempt to count the sands upon the sea-
shore during his stay, but straightway en-
tered that department of eatables as assis-
tant to the object of his attractions.
