Winter in Oregon.

The following is taken from a let
ter received at this place from q
Dayton boy now in Oregon:
10 Oregon, during the Winter, the
people live IN fog and mud. sun
shine Is about as scarce as An honest
Congressman at Washington, and is
looked upon with the same disgust
by the average webfoot. 1t has now
been raining for nearly three weeks,
and there is danger Of all the "John'
ny .come-lsiely's" being drowned
out. The mud Is about foot and q
half deep in all the streets, and 1t is
impossible for a stranger to do any
outside business unless he is an ex
pert at walking on stilts, for that is
the way we do our promeuading in
Oregon. 1t is amusing to stand by
and see the sniedeluvIan mossbackS
congregdte on The street corners on q
rainy day to watch the young girls
tripping home from school on Suits.
1t is the firm belief of all old Ore
gonians that Heaven is composed en-.
Iirely Of mud and that the Angels
(female) go hopping about on Tits
with skirts cut bias la Police Gas
cite.

MASON VALLEY, Jan. 16, 1884.
ED. TIMEs:-Last Sunday night
the Valley was blessed with about
four inches of the "beautiful," and
Monday morning every body was
out for sleigh ride or snow ball.
We happened to pass a school house
on that morning and number Of
young lads and lasses came out end
saluted us with a shower of snow
bal s which made us think of the
times we used to have forty years
ago, when we made victim hap
pening to stray by our old school
house at "'Possum Holler," think
we were the worst girls in Indiana.
Messrs. Brann il Smart and Jas.
Downey are laying in a stock Of ice

is the best ever seen in the Valley,
being fully one foot in thickness.
Last sunday evening the Rev. Mr.
Barstow, assisted by the Rev. Messrs.
Willis and Pratt, began a series of
revival meetings TO continue during
the week. 1t is noticed that their
congregation is large every evening,
but the average Mason Valley citizen
is like Spilken's mule, hard to lead
The topic of conversation is Occur

will DO stampede from this place
to the new mines in the Spring. 1t
would be well, however, to think
two times before leaving good
home or situation to follow up min.
ing excitements.
Miss Anna Craig has gone tc Vir-
ginia City to attend school there du

The Owl Club.

Jake Allen was up from down the
river this week and related some
very interesting stories, among which
was one in regard 10 owls. He has
been raising a number lately, and
accor ding to his story they are won
derful birds. They can be taught
to talk and sing, besides being ex-
cellent mousers. The manner in
which these birds are taught to talk
Is a peculiar one, and MIR. Allen will
doubtless have to have some printed
directions for his customers. Mr..
Allen is taking quite a lumber OF
orders in town and he will explain
to all married men why they should
purchase one. A club is being or
ganized. which will be known as the
Owl Club, and it is understood that
"Parnell," our County Assessor, o.
A. Brooks and other Dayton capital
lists have dubbed together aud or
dered a coop OF the birds TO be deliv'
cred in the Spring.

Strike Ina Rodie.

A letter received from Bodie this
week by Dayton gentleman states
that the recent strike is q genuine
one. They have struck 1t Immensely
rich, and have more ore IN sight and
richer than when it was struck in 1873
and in one month panned 100000
dividens. A prominent mining man
visited the mine this week and said
there was more money in the ore
now broke in the tunnel than the
stock board value of the mine, $780,
600. There has been nothing exag.
gerated, it is a veritable solid gold

effect, on an intellectually grand scale, OF
the shaking of lime. An eminent
German scientist estimated that with
the present volume Of water %, 900
bushels of llmey matter is hourly de-
posted on these terraces. When this
rapid accumulation is considered it
has been but Il little time, geolOgical]y
speaking, since the deposit began
perhaps 10000 years or such matter.
The formation is very extensive. Mr..
Henderson estimates that it covers
nearly l8 square miles. The large fiat

Above this the formation extends in

various stages of decay. Portions of

withdrawal of the vivifying water;
while other areas are endowed with
all the indescribable beauty of life
where the water is spreading over the
surface, bubbling up in steaming lakes
or trickling over the>f front of the ter.

water that flows out of the lime beds
finds an outlet over the surface Of the

surface of the terraces, and flows over

Mammoth Hot Springs. The beauti-
full forms of the terraces that even a
photograph cannot faithfully repro
duce; the delicate and various tints
that defy the painters art, the beauties
of form and color that cannot even be
described-all these go to make up u
picture that must be seen to be realized,
and must he studied long and carefully
to be fully appreciated, though its
wonderful and beautiful character will
strike the most casual observer with i
force beyond his expectation. Many
visitors who have fully traversed the
Park consider Mammoth Hot Springs
the equal of any feature in the whole
Wonderland.

FoRrY-FoUR years ago three men,
Mr.. Miller, Mr.. Dorr, and Mr.. Merritt,
went to settle in Pennsylvania village.
Miller built tavern and sawmill. For
forty-four years Miller ran the tavern
and sawmill; for forty-four years Dorr
boarded in the tavern; for forty-four
years Merritt sawed in the mill, the
three never missing days work, Mil
Ter making fortune. The sawmill had
of late years cost 500 per year more
than it could make. Mr.. Miller had
decided hia property to his son, and not
long ago this son sold the tavern and
mill, against his fathers wishes, who
was IS years old, and whose one great
wish it was to die in that tavern where
he had so long lived. Mr.. Miller took
TO his bed and died Immediately.
The next morning his old friend and
champion, DoT, was found dead with
his face in the brook; he was 80 years
old, and very strong, mentally and
physically. The next night after that
the alarm of fire was heard in the vii.
lage for the first time. The sawmill
was in flames, and burned to the
ground 1t was fired by Merritt, the
sawyer, who on the following day paid
the purchaser the value of the mill,
saying that he had turned the water on
the wheel the first time and had sawed
every log sawed in the mill. Merritt
left the village forever. He had never
been away before since he first came
thara
