A Xetter From Oregon. Portland, Oregon, October 15th, 1875. Ei. Republican: In our last let ter we loft our readers at Salem, the capital of misty land of Webfoot. After spending a few pleasant days with new formed acquaintances, we are once more aboard the steamer en route for Portland, the metropolis of i he! St ate. "What all we saw we can not hern enumerate, but for the most part we saw dense forests of fir, balm and cotton wood: the dark labyrinth of the moss covered trunks j V( the journey was made more forming seclusions into which man ! 0:lsjv thaw they expected. They ex doos not often wish to penetrate to , prt.ss thomolves vei-y well satisfied break the silence that reigns amid those venerable monarchs of the for- ed. For sonic time we saw beauti ful farms, but they were soon left bo ld u 1 and little else but forests could "be seen. It is near noon when we notice the urrent suddcnlvtbecomcs swifter and we conclude that we are Hearing WILLAMETTE FALLS. Wo step ashore above the falls and proceed on toot to the base and view with no little interest this. one. of numberless instructive works of na ture. These falls are about thirty iivo miles above the mouth of the Willamette. The water leaps from bowlder to bowlder, daskes madlv onward only to be hurled foaming and hissing with more violence against the next projecting rock, or l)e hurled over a steep and. rocky precipice wild and frantic into Ihe foaming abyss below. It soon con tinues its journey toward the broad Columbia as calmly as though noth ing had transpired to mar irs tranquility. Thus this mighty sheet of water continues its monotonous routine year after year. Some twen ty years ago a steamboat with its precious cargo of lives went over these falls and all on board perished. At 3 p. m., we stepped aboard an ele gant coach on the Oregon and Cali fornia railwav and sned awav at no slow speed. It occurs to us that i there undoubtedly has been a mark ed change in this part of what was once known as the "Wild West," in the last, half century. The red man little thought of losing his coveted huntinggrounds so soon. It is still early when we arrive at PORTLAND, where we conclude to stop, and cast our lot among her energetic inhabi tants. This is the largest city north of San Francisco, it being the princi pal northern port of the wheat ship ping trade, many foreign vessels load here for foreign countries. Besides liaving splendid facilities for shipping io the high seas by water, there are two rail roads, and a fair prospect iora road direct to Salt Lake, con necting there with the Union Pacific for the East. It has every advantage to heroine a citv ot importance. To uive your readers some idea of its "rowth we would state: "In the: year 1873, Portland contained a pop illation of 8,729, and in 1875, 13,102, besides a population of several hun dred Chinese." These refuse to give their names or value of property, thus they avoid taxation which is no satisfaction on the part of the tax payers of our city. In the cause of education she has kept pace with civ ilization and public improvement. Splendid churches speak for the re ligious denominations of the place, while amide provisions have been made for the poor, the sick and the afflicted, who are thrown on the charities of the world. We will not prolong our description of our wes tern city at present, but hope to be able to give something in the future. GOSSIP AND NEWS. Mr. Russell L. Smith left on the steamer "J. L. Stephens" for San Francisco. We learn that he has stopped at San Jose, Santa Clara Co. Cal. Success Russell. From a dispatch received in this city to-day, intelligence reaches us that the Indians at the Umatilla res ervation are threatening war. The cause of the trouble seems to be on account of a Hue of telegraph that is being built through the reservation. These noble red men of the primeval forest think they have seen quite enough of American civilzation to suit them. They have arrayed them selves in direct hostility and declare that not a pole shall be planted or a wire stretched across the illihe dona ted them by Uncle Sam. Military forces will be sent immediately to protect those at work on the line. Alas, poor, miserable, red men, thou art no longer able to say "the white man shall goat my bidding." And when this once numerous tribe shall become extinct, who will there be to shed a tear over their grave? "Not one!" We have in our midst two immi grants just from "Tike." They are the Snyder brothers, late of Rosen dale, 31o. For the present they are stopping m this city. Rev. Anthony Clemen and wife are now with their son Thos. Clem ens. Notwithstanding their advanc with Oregon, and the probabilities are, they will be likely to remain. The State Fair, which will close to-morrow, the 16th inst., is said to be the most successful one ever held in the State. The report reached the city yes day, that one Lewis Miller, living bo low this place, had been shot and in stantly killed, by his nephew, Mc Gibbs. It appears that Miller and his wife were having some little dif ficulty when MfQibbs interfered. In the melee McGibbs seized a shot gun and discharged it at his uncle; the load taking effect in the face and eyes; Miller was instantly killed. The young man gave himself up to the of fices, but was discharged, as it was proven that the act was commit ted in self-defence. As yet jack frost has not made his appearance and all nature is yet cloth ed in rob; s of jjrecn. r When next we grasp the journalis tic pen, we will try to give to the leaders of vour valuable paper some thing concerning the modes and cus toms of our citizens. We remain, trulv vours, T. W". MACKIE. Attempted Murder. A dastardly plan to murder one of our bust citizens was unearthed last Saturday. It appears that, A. K.Me (Jinniss went to a man by the name of Brock man (both livinix in Kearney township) and proposed to give, him SoOO it he would kiUOlr. Hugh Seiul-di-r, MeGinniss' brother-in-law. Broekman asked time to eonsider,and after consulting1 with friends and planning with them to trap McGin niss, promised to do so. and last .Sat urday night was agreed upon as the lime to consummate the bloody deed. Shcrill" tiroom, in the meantime, was apprised of the plot, ami was at the house of Mr. Scudder with a posse of resolute men, and after waitinir a short time Alctiinniss and Broekman made their appearance and cautiously entered the house in their ock feet, pistols in hand, and started to go up tairs to Scudder's sleeping room, but as they did so Sheriff (I room and his men entered with cocked pistols and ordered them to throw hands up, which they did, and were secured without further trouble. McCIinniss was taken to Kearney, and on Monday had a preliminary ex amination before Justices Albright and Morrow, and held to bail in the sum of $'2000, which failing logive.he . . 1 .1 A 1 was commit led io rue county jau The State was represented by II.
