TENTED TOWNS OUT WEST.
Mushroom Camps Along the Californi
anI O,,arnn ISoiIro,J lima

Mushroom Camps Along the California
and Oregon Railroad Line.
During the progress of the extension of
the California and Oregon railroad from
Redding toward the Webfoot state dozens
of camps have been located and have been
dignified by being called 'towns." Be-
ing located in wild and beautiful noun
tain regions they have been given roman
tic and poetical names differing from the
style of the Argonauts, who gave their
camps such euphonious titles as Buzzard S
Roost. Poor Mans Gulch. Whiskeytown,
Hangtown, or anything else that hap
pened to suggest itself by some incident.
The railroad camps have always been
lively places, occupied by from 1000 to
1900 men. whites and Chinese. They
have comfortable tents and live very
happy life i'll the mountains, where the
air is pure and bracing, the water cool
and clear and where the atmosphere is
made healthy by the pines and frs.
As might be expected, one of the first
tents generally put up is that of a saloon
keeper. and he drives a lively trade deal
out his Dew of Death his Coffin
Varnish, his bug Juice and other
choice brands. In connection with his
sample rooms he keeps "hotel, pro-
viding blankets for travellers and giving
them a bed on the ground, but under
cover of his canvas roof. But no one
ever complains of such accommodations
they are the best to be had, and then it
might not be safe to find fault.
The railroad camps contain a rough set
of men, but, in many instances, hard
working, honest fellows are found. The
mushroom villages have been followed
from the start by blacklegs, who have
waxed fat from the earnings of the hard
working men. Right after the pay car
arrives and distributes the wages these
sports produce cards and dice, and in
very short period many men who have
been toiling with pick and shovel along
the rocky line find themselves without a
nickel to show for their labor. There is
one thing remarkable about the camps,
and that is that good order has been
maintained and few fights have occurred.
Every man who comes along the road
is offered work, and there is no necessity
for idle men in the country. The big
camp, made up of track layers, is now
above Sissons, at the base of Mount
Shasta, region of cold and snow, and as
hard winter is anticipated, the tents
will soon have to be struck and sent
down to the valley. -Sacramento Bee.

country, the other day showed to re-
porter four beautiful productions in mar
BILE of bronzes and ivory placques in re-
lief, two representing birds on branches
of trees, surrounded with flowers and
two of larger size, copies of woes of
high art. Father Subileau stated that
he obtained these treasures from an art
list at Clermont, in Puy de Dome, France,
city over 200 miles southwest of Paris.

This has been utilized by Frenchman
for obtaining copies of the finest works

takes the placques of any figure in re-

paste, which, after hardening, is re.
moved and placed under troughs, from
which drops the water charged with

SOME very sensible observations
upon the Indian problem appear in
General McClellan's paper 10 Har-
per's for January. He thinks that
the force on the frontiers should be
increased until all danger Of Indian
outbreaks is past; that the tribal or
CARNATIONS should be broken up and
the Indian brought under the opera
ton of the same laws as the white
man. He is emphatically ia fuvor of
the establishment of schools for Iudian
children, and thinks the only mistake
in that direction thus lar il in trying
to spread their advantages over too
many tribes at the same time.
