RAILROADS AND BUSINESS.
"Build the ratlr<m 1 into an unbroken
wilderness," replied a well known rail- ;
road magnate of the West daring a
discussion of a scheme for the extension
of a certain road in a particular direc
tion, a few years ago, " Impossible '
point your finger out in any direction
and let it be known that you are going
t<> build a railroad that way and you
will find the people there i»efore ynu."
So it has been in the history of all
railroads in this country. How oft 'n
has capital pointed out the way t >r a
railroad through mountain passes |
almoht impassable; through unbroken ,
forests ; across deserted plains, which,
in the great economy of nature had pre.
viously served only t'ie purpose of
buffalo ranges and grazing grounds for !
herds of wild antelope and deer. Yet
in every instance she has found tho
people there before her
Trade and all Korts of undertakings
gravitate as naturally towards the rail
road as do mountain streams toward
the ocean{; improvements of all kinds
and enterprises of all descriptions
spring up along its course as naturally
as do tho fringe* of green murk the
courses of the rivers of the plains. A
whole town will gravitate as readily
towurd its railroad centre as do the
ivys to the stalwart oak. The railroad
may at first only skirt its Suburbs; but
presently the whole Imsiness portion of
the city will be found gradually mov
ing in that direction. A more striking
illustration of this fact was never given
than in the case of Stockton, Califor
nia The right of way through that
eity was stubbornly denied the Central
Pacific Company. A few citizens,
large property holders along the water
front, pooled their interests to exact
from the company an extortionate sum
for this privilege. The roi.d, however,
was built through the extreme sur
burbs, and ever since the city bus
grown in that direction, while the
centre of trade ij fur removed from
where it formerly was. This is is an
argument for railroads; for pushing
them out in every direction.
It is equally frue, as we indicated in
the outset, that a railroad cannot be
built into an unsettled wilderness; for
once let it be known that the road is
going to be built and the settler, with
his clearing, his dwelling, and his
numerous improvements will be there
before it. Long before our railroad
ran reach the p*ss toward which
it is now heading, although the
work of constructing it were to
be pushed ahead ever so expeditiously,
hundreds of settlers will have opened
up new homes in the fertile though
comparatively unbroken strip of coun
try which stretches away to the east
this side of the summit, creating a local
traffic for the road that will be remun
erative to a degree hardly y«t antici
pated. Only let the assurance from
headquarters once be given that the
road is positively going on and a per
iod stream of immigration will set in
in that direction. Sevral gentlemen
who were in town recently, and who
have lately located along the line of the
proposed ten-mile extension up Cedar
Hiver, inform us that settlers are rush
ing into that valley now at a rate that
has never before been deatupt of. One
gentleman put the average at from
three to four a day of actual settlers.
For many miles above Rent on ev« ry
vacant el tint has been takeu already,
score* of which were without claimants
a few mouths since.

These estimates may not be very
exact, yet they show a total of over
4,000 acres of land in cultivation from
Alvord's down to the head of the Du
wamish, near Mr. Foster's place.
STOCK
Horses, 100 bead, cowa, near 1<K);
cattle, alwnit 1,000 head, sheep, 600!
head; hogs, 1,500.
The leading stock men are D. A. 1
Neely, Langftton, Mess, Willis and
Adatua; in raising hogs, Van Doren,
D. A Neely, L. McMillan, Willis, Cis
co, Lsngston, Keller and (low.
Particular attention is paid to the
breeding of tine cattl* l.y H. Adams,
M. 11. Maddocks, and J. Lancston 11.
Adams has the best selected grad.? of
stock on the Sound for dairy purposes,
the stock being improved roan Durham
and brindle Durham mixed with Jersey, |
bred particularly for milking purposes.
l.angston has a tine bull fr >m Hewett
and Monk, cross between I) irlia® and
Ayrshire. Maddocks has a very large
roan Durham Hull, jj grade, from Latid
A Reed, Port'.aud, fife years old, girts
seven feet nine inches, and weighs 2,500
pouuds Also, he has a very tine year
ling bull, Devou and Durh.ira mixed,
aud a tine brand of gradtd stock cows
In numbers. Neely, Adams, Stewart.
Pat O'Brien, Mess aud (>raham are
leading cattle raisers.
M H. Maddot ks, has an extra tine
stallion, lo* a hands high, two years old.
lUack 11a w crossed with Messenger
and Immigrant stock, promises to t>e
the best stallion on the Sound
The raising of sheep is a leading in
terest in the valley, and there are many
improved bands of carefully selected
ato» k. the choice !**ing for acme a cros>
between the Sautii Downs, the l*»*t
Kngiish mutton sheep, and the F.nglish
long wool, either Leicester or Cots
wold, in preference to Merino.
This cross gives a very heavy wool
and fine mutton sheep, just the thing
for those fertile river bottoms. I.ang
ston's band will yield an average clip
of 11 pounds lor each sheep, some will
cut 13 pounds of wo«d.
Neely and lUUard have also flocks
that will yield a very heavy annual
clip <>f wool.
All kinds of sheep do extremely well,
scab dots not exist in sheep raised in
the valley. Thoee brought from Steila
coom plains, if not too badly diseased,
recover without treatment in one year.
No foot rot is found in the valley.
BARNS
This whole valley bciug a very tine
fertile farming region, has some very
I large barns. Alvord keeps but little .
