THE PACIFIC SLOPE
Wonderful Energy and Push of the
People.

WASHINGTON, July 2Sth.-First Assistant
Postmaster-General Clarkson returned to-
day from his six weeks visit to the Pacific
slope and resumed his duties at the Post
office Department. To representative of
the Californis Associated Press who called
upon him, the General spoke of his trip
and treatment in the highest manner. He
said be found the people of the slope to be
most progressive class, and he was really
astOnished at the wonderful energy and
push they displayed. He had heard before
his departure on his trip OF this, but was
inclined to doubt it. Now, after visiting
that section he was almost prepared to be-
Heve anything that was told him. He
said the Pscihc slope was, indeed, a won-
derful country. and its citizens were wide
awake and ready to take advantage of every
opportunity that arose.
In regard 10 mail facilities, which he
went TO investigate, he said that ne had
noted a number of places where mail
service could be improved and he would
incorporate his views in report to the
Postmaster General urging certain changes
which he believed would be benefit to
all classes
On the subject of site for ihe San Fran
cisco Postoffice, he was decidedly reticent
He stated that he had been requested to
investigate various sites offered and report
as to which one, in his opinion, was best
suited for the needs of the Government.
He had made this investigation. but as yet
had been unable to report. He expected
TO have conference with the Postmaster
General this afternoon and with the Secre-
tary of the Treasury tomorrow, and would
then give them his views On the matter
Until he reported to them he thought it in
advisable TO give any indication as to what
recommendation be should make.

clared himself not satisfied with the instruc

tween the pending b,ll and the Morrill, tarlff of

Fate of a San Franciscan Who Thought
to Pay Joke on an Editress.

Fate of San Franciscan Who Thought
to Pay Joke on an Editress.
WASHINGTON, July 28th.-A handsome,
well dressed young man, giving the name
of Jack" Samuels, and his place of busi-
ness at 123 Post street, San Francisco, had
lively experience during his brief sojourn
OF twenty-four hours in this city. He
complained that Washington was dull,
sleepy village, whereat two correspondents
on Newspaper Row suggested pleasant
diversion. and accordingly introduced to
his notice Mrs. Charlotte Smith, the woman
who has been annoying Mrs. Mackay.
Young Samuels conceived an idea that it
would be fine joke to impersonate Nathan
Blur, detective lawyer of New York, who
had Mrs. Mackay's case in charge, and who
recently cabled that lady that the woman
Charlotte Smith was crack Drained and
should not be needed.
This naturally aroused the ire of Char
lotte, and she swore out warrant for the
arrest of Nathan Blur, charging him with
the larceny of one dollar and certain valua-
BILE papers. The existence of such war
rant was unknown to Samuel, and after he
had parleyed with her for some time in q
futile effort to EFFECT a compromise" be-
tween Mrs. Mackay and the editress, the
latter lady withdrew from the company
of the San Franciscan and his companions
aud rang for policemen to arrest Nathan
Biefur."
The young man was forewarned, how
ever, through a friendly agency and hied
himself to his hotel, where he vas secreted,
ali the while keeping up a vigilant out
look. At last he ventnred out, but abated
no prudent provisions against surprise. He
managed TO elude her, and towards dark
to- might he boarded Pennsylvania train
which moved out Just as the breathless

appeared at the railing which separated the
waiting. room from the railway tracks.
As she perceived the receding railway
bearing away her Nathan Blur, she ges-
ticulated wildly with her umbrella and
gave vent to several hysterical little
screams, ACCOMPANIED by facial contor-
tons, which did not enhance her native
beauty in the least. She returned disap.
pointed and discomfited.
The woman is by no means fool. Her
mind is very bright and she is woman of
rare literary accomplishments but is evi.
IDENTIFY a monomaniac on the subject of
bettering the condition of womankind.
1t is said that she applied to Mrs. Mackay
for money in aid of her scheme" and be-
ing refused, resorted to defamatory publi-
cations about Mrs. Mackay which were
mailed to the crowned heads and nabobs
of Europe. The last number of her tri-
weekly paper contains more matter of the
same sort.
Mrs. Smith says she has telegraphed to
the Montgomery baths" San Francisco,
for barbers chair which Jack Eungerford
used in his tonsorial occupation. She
thinks she will put the chair on exhibition
and deliver a course of lectures throughout

A GREAT ENTERPRISE.
The American River Lumber and Water
Company Getting Under Way.
Folsom Telepraph July 26th I

Company Getting Under Way.
Folsom Telegraph, July 26th
Colonel George w. Cummings was in
town on Sunday last, looking after his
business interests here. He looks hale and
hearty, and is head over heels in work.
His camps are lively places. He has two
mills in operation-a woou and saw mill.
The saw-mill has capacity of about Is, 600
feet day. The saw-mill was shipped on
the Sd day of July from San Francisco, and
on the 18th of the same month cut the
first log. The mill, it will be seen, was in
working order within twelve days, includ-
ing the day of shipment and delivery.
This is probably the quicket work in the
saw-mill line of equal magnitude ever
done in the State, and the Colonel feels
proud OF the achievement. The road over
which the machinery was moved is known
as the Mosquito grade. 1t descends into the
canyon of the south fork of the American
river, and crossing suspension bridge,
which bobs up at one end as the load enters
on the other, then climbs the opposite side
of the canyon to hight of 200 feet.
The road is of the zigzag order. In max
ing the turns with the heavily loaded
wagons 1t was necessary to jack-screw the
rear end in one direction and the front
wheels in the other, while taking the load
up the grade by means of ropes and pull
leys. The capacity of the wood mill is
forty cords a day. A chute, half a mile
long, with descent of $50 feet in that dis.
tance, is used for taking wood to the river.
The Colonel is waiting for the lower
stages OF the river before driving the WOOD
down to the boom. When they start send
ing the wood down here one thousand
cords will be sent at one time, or at q
drive, as it is called by the lumber men.
The logs are hauled to the head of the
lengths by the use of lightning drag
saw, and as fast as the plots are split, the
wood is thrown into the chute.
The chute is V shape, and built of plank
one and half inch thick, lined with oak
an inch thick. The wood goes like shot
out of gun down the chute. That this is
literally true is proven by an instantaneous
which we saw, and which was
taken when the wood was coming down.
The only resemblance to the stick of wood
as 1t leaves the lower end of the chute is
a long white streak.
There are thirty-two men employed in
the numbering operations-twentv in the
wood camp and ten in the sawmill. The
sawmill camp is about a mile west of
the wood camp, which is about twelve
miles from Piacerville. At the sawmill
there is also chute three. quarters of
mile long, having the same perpendicular
drop as the wood chute. This sawmill
chute is designed to carry the railroad ties
and like products to the river. down which
they will be hoated to the boom at this
place.
The Colonel says the men who went with
him from Folsom are all well, and that in
a short time more men will be stationed at
the boom here to look out for the wood and
timber that will be sent down.
