Klk City, about which we start
ed to write, Is a village, of 1 $0 souls,
situated about nine miles from To
ledo, the county seat. It is what.
is known as the head of navigation
on Vaccina river, steamers of con
siderable draft being able to ascend
that far. It is also a station 011 the
Oregon Pacific lailroad, and one of
considerable importance, being the
second in the size of shipments be
tween the summit and Yaquina
City.
The general me rchandise store of
the place is presided over by K. M.
Mays, who also handles the U. S.
mails for Undo Sam. He has a
well-assorted stock and enjoys a
good trade, drawing for miles above I
