Having ouly a short time here, we have made the very beat of it, and after a long walk through the irregular streets anda brief rest in the shady plaza, we wend our way to “Gold's,” where every tourist in the territory sooner or latex fiuds his way. The curio shop 1s a long, low roow, filled on every side with Indian pottery, Navajo blankets, and here and there rare relics taken from the ruine of old native churches, Hangivg against the wall was a small, dim painting on wood, taken from the church of Abiquie in 1710. The panel shows rough ends where cut agawst the grain of the wood by the stone hatchets of the Iudians, and its sur- face and edges show the irregular finish necessitated by the crude im- plements used. The painting is in the primary colors of black, yellow and red, representing the black-robed figure of a nun, holding in one hand a cross and ecroll, and 1n the other a heart. Beneath, in Spanish, is in- scribed, **Our Dear Lady of Carmiel,” and I am glad to say I am now 1s for- tunate possessor, as it is undoubtedly genuine, A small trunk of buffslo rawhide waa proudly shown us by Mr. Gold.

Our ht, only fifteen wmiles away, the higher mountain tops were covered with the first auntumn enow. From the ridse of o foot-hill we stopped to gaze on the fairest scenery in the erritory. Straight ahead for seventy-five iniles we over- looked undulating hill and valley, O: our right the enow-covered mountain tops; on our left the more distant mountaiu, still blue-velled by the mists of the morning, The nine-mile drive ended in the Klaz of the Pueblo (pueblo meaning village) & bare square of ground, around which the adobo houses are built, The houses are of two stories, the under part being used a8 store rooms; upon the roof of the first story is built the living rooms, part of the roof forming o sost of ver andah, reached from the geound by a rough ladder, I can give you a clearer idea of these strange habitations by referring you to the wood cutsin the June number of Harpers', illus- trating the articles on the Zuuis, ws all Pueblc Tudiane build nearly alike, On these verandahs are bailt their dome-shaped mud ovens, and corn and fruits are spread out to dry. Over ared blanket filled with wheat which she was cleaning, kuelt a bright-eyed waiden, making a pretty picture against the deep blue of the sky. The ocleanliness of the rooms was striking, and & description of one answers for all, The walls were bril. liaut with white wash and the bare earthen floors scrupulously neat. In one end of the rosm & huge roll of blankets form seats by day and beds at night, and the otber end of the room is filled by & very primitive fire- place and earthen cooking vessols, A rough board, swinging by straps from a rafter and covered by a blanket, constitutes the baby's cradle. into which the tiny bit of huwsnity is se- i | of the earely etrapped. In one house a woman was making pottery, deftly turning and, patting the damp clay. In another rbom a woman was grind- ing corn for the evening tortillas. I'ie corn is ground in & rough stone hasing called meatas, by rubbing the corn with a rounded oblong stone, the woman kneeling es she grinds Outside the men were building an and their pleasant chat- adobo Louee ter o tor sounded musical in tho clear air, and we took up a posi tion to watch them, Oa the ground lay the rquares of adobe, or dried mud, One young carriod a quare of it £ the walls, where it was raceived by half & dozen others, and it was laid and patted into position, Then another young fellow would carry & spade full of soft, dark mud, which was Iaid on the square of adobe, and then tho whole crowd sat down to chat and rest, Ido wonder when that houso was commenced and when it wili bo finished, for we wore at tho pueblo two hours, and in that timo wo raitors and four squares of abobe wero laid, and there were seventecn men st work. Very geutlo and alwnys polite have I found all of them with whom I have come in contact. Avaiuat the white walls of one room hung a long wooden cross, with strange, dim designs painted ou it in red, yellow and black, its cross.pioce fastenod by two wooden pegs, its olges showing the irregular marks crude instrument which fashioned it. My escort asked its history, and from a mummy-like in- dividual he learned that it had been in the tribe ever sinco tho first Jesuit missionaries had como among them, gud that it had been carried at the hoatt of their religious procossions from the pueblo to the San Miguel church at Santa Fe, and that tradition enid it was 150 years old. When, at my request, my escort proposad in his most elcquent Spanish to bay 1t, the answer was that it would be wicked to soll 1t. A second proposal was met with the same answer, and the third was bufllad by finding the door shut. | The cacique, or logal adviser of the tribe, eame with it in his hands, followod by all the womon, whose black oyes brightened at the sight of the silver woney.

Roise Stasesman, It may be some satisfaction to know that there is less talk and more work in the building of the raiiroad from Umatilla this way than by the Union Pacific or rather the Oregon Short Line from the east. Mr. Villard, who is the manager of the Oregon and Washington Territory roads, includ- ing the Northern Pacific, seems to go straightforward with his work, and knows the ground he intends to cover. On this road he has completed the work to Pendleton, and has secured the right of way over the Blue moun- tains for the best and snfest pass, He has purchased the Foster or Meachom toll road, 8o that no tmpediment may be in the way, and he has ample corps of men on all the hoavy work, 8o that he can start 10 carly another soason to lay tho track., His survey extends through Grand Ronde and the Pills Canyon Pass and the Powder River Valioy to Baker City, and from Baker City down the Burnt River Canyon to Snako River. This location was made long before the Oregon Short Line undertook to locate a route up Burnt River Canyon. Villard's men are already at work grading in tho Burnt River Canyon in considerable force, His chief eogineer was here a fow days ago, and assured us chat their road would como to Boise City, and had no disposition to dodge the town, The possibility of & compromise be- tweon the Orezon Short Line and Vil- lard is & very doubtful one, and trom the best evidence we can gain the Oregon Short Line is ut sos whon thoy reach Suske river at King Hill and know not where to go. Villard's road will suit us quite as well us the Oregon Suort Line, and it 1s altogether prob- able that we shall soe the lirst railroad from the west. The Oregon Short Line is evidently going ahead slowly, A reliable gentloman, who came over the whole of the line of the road from Awmeiican Kalls this way last weok, eays thore is not to exceed ten miles of track laid this smde of the American Falls.
