Mr. Connor was over from Squaw creek
the first oi the week. He says three
fourths OF the cattle that were driven
TO that range from the Willamette valley
| last fall have died.
Though the loss OF stock In this county
has been great. II Is not believed To be
80 severe as was at first reported. Some
have lost nearly everything, but there
are many who have lost very little, and
IL is now believed that the loss will not
exceed 40 per cent.
Riley Thompson relates having seen
quite discouraging sight while coming
down the Ochoco the other day. Al
sheen owner had Just begun 20 harvest
his crop Of pelts and had disrobed the
! first carcass. He stood with pelt in one
hand and knife in the other, surrounded
by some 800 carcasses, rs II contem-
plating which TO begin on next.
X q Smith came over from Sisters
"Wednesday. When he left Sisters there
were six inches Of snow on the ground.
He SAYS the loss Of stock on Squaw creek
has been very great. Out OF one band
Of 25O immigrant cattle the owners only
know OF eight that are alive. He thinks
nearly three-fourths of the stock OF that
section have perished.- Pape ~

MANY ofour exchanges are bemoanlng

by one DR. Olympia Murray, an East

ALBANY Is sadly in need Of good no.

Albany already has two or three rs good
hotels as there are cn the Coast. This 4
the universal verdict OF all travelling men
