LETTER FROM MEXICO MO.

May 7th, 1888.
EDITOR GAzErTE.-I feel that many Of
your readers and many Of my friends would
like fo here from me. I will therefore give
you short account of my journey East
| ward. I left Corvallis April 9th, and spent
the night at Gervais with my son DIR. F
| Cauthorn, arrived 1t Portland on the 10th and
after visiting friends went on the fine Stea-
merState of California on the 18th but did
not sail until the early morning of the 18th
with full and strong stomach, but as we
neared the swelling waves of the Columbia
bar my stomach began to unload, but I took
some comfort from the fact that I was not
alone, for the cabin that a short time before
| had so many cheerful occupants was soon
| emptied and they hurried to their rooms
| where they would be secluded from any one
| that might be SO hard hearted as to laugh at
Saturday the 18th when our appetites reviv-
ed and 1 enjoyed breakfast for the first time
since leaving the Columbia. Here we met
| with our old friend Rev. A. E. Sears who
was once agent of Corvallis College, and
who is widely known in Oregon. DR.. Fin
ley formerly president of Corvallis College
called at the hotel to see me but I was out
at the time, and his engagements would not
permit him to tarry, go was not PERMITTED
to sea>him whom loved SO well. I took
the train for Sacramento and arrived there
at night and remained over Sunday in that
beautiful city. .-.,...--.-.-.
Invent up to Diamond Springs on Mondsy
to visit Mr.. G. D. Brooks who. was kind
enough to take me in his carriage to Pla-
cerville where in lS49 was engaged in
diging for gold and the place is now quite a
city and changed very much. could locate
the very spot where used: the pick and
shovel with success The little cabin that
l once lived in has been displaced and on
the spot is fine building returned to
Sacramento and according to previous ar
rangements met with Mr.. s. w. Look, his
wife and daughter, who also were going
east. We arranged to make one family and
I assure you was fortunate to have made
such arrangements. A more happy family
never crossed the plains. Three of us be-
ing old we placed ourselves under the su-
pervision of Miss Jane Look, and I assure
you we were in good hands, I could not
help but admire the care and affection with
which Miss Look attended to her aged
parents and more especially her old and
infirm mother. will never forget the kind
ness bestowed on me and the pleasant hours
we spent on our journey; but sadness filled
my heart to part from them at Council Bluffs
to think I should see them no more. ar
rived at Mexico, Mo-, on Friday, the 9th
of April at 2:30 o'clock in the morning, and
found my son B. R. Cauthorn 1T the depot
waiting for my arrival. I need not express
my feelings in meeting with his family after
an absence of ls yeats from Mexico. I
have met with great many old friends
who flock around me to give me a hearty
shake of the hand. The city of Mexico is
80 changed that recognize nothing of
former days. 1 have visited great many
and still am not near around yet.

THE FIRE PEND.
A Widow Lady the. victim-A Generous
Crowd Make up Funds Sufficient to
Repair DAMAGES.

Repair Damages.
At about FIVE o'clock last Sunday after
noon the alarm of fire was sounded and al
| most instantaneous Young America engine
| company and the Hook & Ladder company
were on the street responding to duty. The
victim of the fire fend was found to be the
residence of Mrs. Thompson on the block
! just north of the court house. After some
little delay occasioned by circuitous route
in taking the engine to the cistern all was
ready for work. By this time, however,
the flames famed by very strong south
east wind was running out through, two.
thirds of the roof of the house from the
comb down on either side. FROM the ap-
pearance of the fire when the engine began
to work, it looked like the house might not
stand over 20 minutes. When the word
was given "down with the breaks" every
man was to his post and began in earnest,
and in less than half an hour the fire was
all extinguished. About two-thirds of the
roof of the building was burned of. The
roof was damaged so badly that it will
have to be supplied with a new one entirely.
The remainder of the building was saved
without material dainags except what was
occasioned by the water. Even the upper
floor was saved SO that from all appearance
it will be good for future use. Nearly all
of the contents of the hosse were taken out
by willing hands but much of it was more
or less damaged as is always the case on oc-
casions of the kind. Nearly every person
in town was present and as soon as the last
spark was extinguished an effort among the
crowd was made to raise funds to repair
the house and put it in condition to again
be inhabited. A very few minutes only
elapsed until the crowd had made up a
fund of 5000, which, it is expected, will be
sufficient to repair the premises and place
them in good condition. Mrs. Thompson
is a very worthy widow lady and long res.
ident of our town and the fund raised no
doubt came at very acceptable time.
