Down the Steep Declivities.
ASHLAND, Or, Dec. 29.-The canyons
along the line of the Southern Pacific
railroad north of Grants pass were the
scene of the most viosent wind storm re-
corded in Southern Osegon's history last
Saturday evening, though no news of it
has been sent to the outside world pre-
vlous to this. The storm was almost
equal to an Eastern cyclone for distance
of about thirty miles aleng the Grave and
Cow Creek canyons. People who have
been upon the ground since the storm say
that not half the trees we're left standing
IN these steep canyons. Big frs were torn
loose from the ground and slid root down
ward to the railroad below in such num-
bers that in places a temporary track
was built around the obstruction to
allow the trains to pass while the
trees were being removed. Nothing
like it was ever known in this region be-
fore. Telegraph lines were also buried
under green timber. Jack Meehan, the
Western Union linemaD, says there must
have been 500 trees across one mile of line
just south of Wolf creek, while the Postal
lineman reports that cut of thirty miles
of line no: five miles ara lett standing
The northern end of Rogue River valley
caught some of the hurricane too. Fences,
rickety buildings and churches and black
smith shops being generally wrecked near
Woodville and Gold Hili stations, though
all the southern and CENTRAL portions of
the valley escaped any serious loss.

Cry OF MEXICO, Dec. 23.-The report
that 300 Mexican troops under Gen. Garcia
have been routed by $50 revoiutionists
west of Guerrero is believed to be without
foundation. Garcia teegraphed to the
government yesterday, but said nothing
about the reported engagement
The appeal Of Col. Hernandez is being
heard in the supreme court. Counsel for
defendant argued that Garcia, with whom
Hernandez was connected. was not a revo-
lutionist, but a common bandit. The
death sentence imposed upon Hernandez
is likely to be confirmed by the court, but
q pardon is expected afterward.
