THE OREGON ROAD.

The San Francisco Post, in timely COM
ments on the rapid progress being made in
the building of the California and Oregon
Railroad, says:
When the road is finished, which viii prob
ably be next year, it Will annex to the COM
mercial empire of San Francisco nearly the
whole OF southern Oregon, and 50 win Offset the
loss inflicted by the opening of the Northern
Pacific. The Portland papers see what is COM
ing, aud one of them calls loudly for the build
ing of wagon road across the Cascade noun
tains, because unless it is done the trade Of
southeastern Oregon will "dritt to San Fran
cisco" II will be the business of San Francisco
merchants 10 see that the trade comes here
whether the wagon road Is built or not.
That is very true. But the expression
of the Post contrasted with the dead 81
lence of San Francisco and the cold turn
of her back upon the scheme two or three
years ago, is very, very striking. Then
the whole city tip-tilted its nose at the
idea of it being at all dependent upon
through land connection with Oregon.
When asked to give aid to the saving of
the land grant of the line, San Francisco
coollY refused, and most Of its presS-not
all-favored the gripping of the road.
But change came over the spirit Of
the dream of the metropolis. When
northern transcontinental line tapped
its pocket it turned beseechingly
to the railroad companies of California to
save to it the trade Of southern Oregon. 1t
then dawned upon the comprehension of
the great sponge that it could not absorb
the world, and that the Oregon trade was
declaring itself independent Of it. North
ern California and the Sacramento valley
had, in the meantime, stood the friend of
the road. The people of the interior real
lied the vast importance of having a great
line of rail connecting the Columbia and
the Gulf and traversing the entire length
of the State. They knew the almost in
surmountable difficulties that had pre-
vented the earlier extension of the road.
| They knew it was useless, business folly,
indeed, to construct it until assurance Of
connection with the Oregon and California
| line could be made certain. When the
time came that the extension could be
properly entered upon, the people of the
valley cid all that in their power laid to
aid it, and to secure to the read the grant
of lands upon which it could base credit
for the necessary capital to carry on the
enterprise, one far more difficult than that
which conquered the passes of the Sierras.
All the while San Francisco refused her
countenance to the work. and not until
long after it was under way did her chief
commercial body venture to feebly indorse
it. Shortly after, the whole city was for
the road The pocket nerve of the metro
polls had instructed its selfishness.

RAILROAD ITEMs.-It is announced that
the terminus of the railroad will be moved
up to Cedar Flat, about three miles below
Uncle Dicks Soda Springs, on Tuesday
next This will shorten the staging to this
place by about eleven and half miles, and
may make some changein time of arrivals.
1t is not known yet what change in stage
time will be made, as the shortening up
does not make sufficient gain to make any
difference in trip to Portland, unless the
Oregon road makes a change of time. The
breakfast station may probably remain at
Butteyille, with earlier breakfast time, as
it is rather too far to make Yreka the
breakfast station on present railroad time
of arrival from south. Cedar Flat will
probably remain the permanent terminus
for delivery of passengers, mails and
freight, until the road is finished to Straw
berry Valley, as there are no good places
between these points for side tracks, depot
and other buildings. Cedar Flat is wide
and beautiful flat for Il terminus, much
better than any point on the line north of
Redding, as far as the road is built

DANNUM ABsQUE INJURIA-Last Mon
day, says the Shasta Echo, charge of 500
boxes of powder, weighing eighteen tons,
was set off by electricity at the railroad
front, near Soda Springs. The blast, how
ever, proved failure, as large quantity
of the powder was burned up without ac-
complishing anything or doing any DAM
age There seemed to be something wrong
in the arrangement for making the explo-
sion, which should have been strong
enough to almost make Mount Shasta rock.

squickened public spirit on the forestry
question, and out of this came the invita-

in Denver. The Colorado society is one of
the most active of all the forestry associa-
tions, and from its labors and researches
there are to be reasonably expected great
GOOD to result.

BEARS TRoUBLING-0n Dry creek the
bears are becoming so numerous and bold
that they have taken to killing horses.
Last week, on the place of Dave Williams,
near the Philadelphia mine, mare and a
colt were attacked by very large bear.
The mother fought nobly for her offspring,
and succeeded in saving it. but was herself
killed The colt, much frightened, ran to
the house, and Mr.. Williams, thinking ell
was not right, went out to investigate. A
short distance from the house he found the
mare dead and bruin sitting upon the body
eagerly devOuring it.-Sonord Banner.

The company are building fine road to

A Blow SNAKE.-The Petaluma Banner
says: F. NJ. McGrew, who lives in this
township, killed a blow snake fifteen inches
in length. Upon cutting it open he found
three full grown mice. It's said the larger
blow-snakes are very destructive to rats
and gophers, which they first crush by a
twist of their bodies, and after Shining
them oyer,swallow even the largest of them
with ease. Blow snakes are not poisonous,
and as they help destroy mice, rats, 60
piers and other farm pests, they should be
protected when found. They sometimes
grow to the length of three and half feet

The Mexican Minister at Washington
has been instructed by his Government
that it believes Cutting to be lawfully
held, and that when the law and facts are
clearly understood by the Government of
the United States, the Mexican Govern
ment confidently expects the former to
concur in this Judgment. Unquestionably
this is provokingly sharp rebuke for our
haste. But it is to be said that the state
ments made of the Cutting case by our rep
resentatives in Mexico have not presented
both sides of the case, and that we have
been justified in assuming Cutting to be
unlawfully held. especially when it is con-
sidered how cordially the border Mexican
hates the average American, and how

CaIifnrnia,s Lake Como.

The brightest gems in the panorama of
CALIFORNIA; scenery are our mountain
lakes, which in natural beauty, yet scarcely
invaded by the establishment of man, are
not surpassed by those of any other section
of the earth. First and foremost among
them is Lake Tahoe, which is located on
the boundary line between California and
Nevada, about two-thirds being in Placer
and Ell Dorado counties, the other portion
in the State of Nevada. This charming
body of water is at an altitude of 6,2l6 feet
and is twenty-five miles in length, and in
some places from twelve to fourteen miles
in width, with a depth of 1,7G0 feet, and is
surrounded by mountains rising from 1000
to 5000 feet above its surface. The scenery
on every hand is enchanting. The view
from Tahoe City has no equal. On the
right, at a distance of twelve or fifteen
miles, are the Rubicon mountains, 9, $50 feet
above the level of the sea, Mt. Tallac, nine
thousand seven hundred and fifteen feet ;
Mt. Ration, nine thousand one hundred
and forty feet, and Pyramid Peak ten
thousand and fifty feet, and on the left
Monument mountain, nearly as high and
the Sand mountains rising above the lake
nearly two thousand and five hundred feet.
Upon the Nevada shore is the Tahoe range,
the highest object on the right being Job 5
peak, ten thousand ana tnlrIy-SeFen leet
high. Upon the left is seen Genoa peak,
nine thousand one hundred and thirty-ive
feet high. A correspondent, speaking of the
sunsets at Tahoe, remarks that mo painter
would ever dare to put upon canvas the
varied colors of Tahoe's waters in a sum-
mer sunset. 1t would appear such an ex-
aggeration that it would lose cast among
those who demand that the artists pencil
shall be true to nature. None but those
who have visited the scene could be per-
suaded of its reality. - Trlckee Republican.

A LIVELY CANA flying trip to Dead
wood on Saturday last gave us no opportu-
mites to visit any of the mines and but
little to learn what was being done, further
than that all the mines were being work ed
with full force and paying well. Yet an
hour or two at George Van Matre's, when
the miners commenced to assemble, proved
that the times were lively ind money
plenty. For its size-and it is by no means
small-Deadwood is undoubtedly the hest
quartz mining camp on the coast. Since
our last visit, about three months ago, a
number of new buildings have been erect
ed, and while they are scattered over con-
siderable territory, they are certain indi-
cation of prosperity. Now that postotffce
has been established, in charge Of J. W.
Malone and "a tri-weekly stage plies
via Deadwood between French Gulch and
Lewiston, that camp is indeed looking up
in the world. 1t is TO- day producing more
wealth, and less fuss made about it, than
any other mining camp any place. We
might add that there are more good people
there, but then it is an admitted fact that
good people always congregate about good
mines Trinity Jotu7lGt.
