to Beaver Creek. He arrived at the
Spring Greek Ranch shortly after noon,
aud took dinner with the proprietor, Mr..

keeps general store, and does good
business. not only with the settlers IN and

Russian settlement. few miles distant.
At the store the scribe met Ben Corbin

church elder, but that he is the elder of
the two Bens. Mr.. G. was on his way
home from lower Beaver, where during
the warm season he captures--and sup-
plies the public with-fsh, grape juice,
etc. Ben boarded the gig and went up
with us as far as his place, which is some
four miles up the creek above Mr..
Clark's. After leaving MI. Corbin at his
claim we went on to our objective point
Exeter. There the editor was the guest
of Mr.. and Mrs F. J. Brown, and re-
maincd over night. Mr.. and Mrs. Brown
have very pretty place. The creek there
curves in the shape of horseshoe, and
the stream is so wide and the water SO deep
that large pasture field could be made
by running a fence across the point lin
the same way that Mr.. Mandlgo. of the
Williamsport neighborhood, has done.
At Mr.. Browns, and in fact near every
residence along the creek, the settlers
have built fish. traps, and at those seasons
of the year when the inny tribe are run:

large numbers of fish arc caught. The
traps are made by dammlng the creek aud
putting in chute made of boards, with
Slated box under the lower end.
At Mr.. Browns We had an opportunity
of seeing an adobe house, Mr.. B. having
up the walls of a new dwelling made of
that material. The adobe brick were
made by Russo German and his wife.
The bricks are made of clay tramped in
pit by oxen, mixed with grass, hay or
straw. nodded in box, dumped on the
ground and dried like other brick. They
are made of any size, those in Mr..
Browns house being 1sx916 inches. Tic
