Follow me on the line ot road west of the Missouri river, ., f.,r one Hundred miles there is nlentvotgood vacant land, but is more subiect to drought than on me Last side of the Missouri, thence for me hundred miles is the bad lands .... 1 f n, iri'irriilar. which is compose-" vi . Jate colored, soft earth mounds with noTasson them, but -good grass between them, and is occupied by ranchmen. Proceeding west to the Yellow' Stone river which is aoout three hundred miles long we find a beautiful valley ot from five to ten miles wide, which is said to be a splen- id crazing country. The Powder, Rose Bud and Big Horn rivers put into the Yellow Stone on the south hue. In the valleys ot these rivers ire fine grazing lands ; cattle, horses ind sheep do well here the year r-und without food. Irregation is necessary 111 these valleys to the pro duction of crops. There is one ditch on the Yellow Stone forty miles long. Leaving the Yellow Stone, about all the farming land is occupied, until vou get to the Clarks fork of the Columbia on which is some good vacant land. Stock does well here on the ransre but is too mountainous for large herds ot stock, wolves and other wild animals de stroy sheep here. Passinsr down Clarks Fork to lake Pond de Orielle which is fifty two miles long, we come to a rough tim bered conntrv and is almost worth less tor, stock raising or farming, thence through this into a beautiful table land sparcely covered with fine Umber and underlayed with washed jravel from the size of a pea to ten pounds in weight am in many places come to the surface, the soil here is alight ash color, for the most part, and is not srood. Thirtv two miles 1 dowu this river is Sookane Falls, on the Spokane river, and is a splendid city and is still growing very rapidly. nd has had an immense immigra tion this spiing, nine out of ten, of homare dissatisfied. 1 was told pat there was as many as five hun dred men Inn. ..v. i-v d.iv seeking work, and were unable to get it, Oreafor their board, and the gteater Prtofthcm arc leaving. What I iave said ot Spokane wilt apply to Walla VValla. a to the dissatislac 'Jon of immigrants. Continue down aclitie ot the R. R., from Spokane. ad VOU will i-nmr to the LTe:t I'Vafchington Territory plateau, cov ered with bunch grass, sage brush. pwctnor rock and no water, and koosequently is not settled. Contin- down this long slope you come Snake river, crossing it, down the on its south bank, in sand. ss and sage brush, aud is j4iTKn.t worthless, pass:ng the Cas- vallev of land as I ever saw, and is almost all fenced up and in cultiva tion, dotted all over with fine dwell ing houses and barns. The land in this valley is worth as much or more than the lands in Bates county. It rains here six months in the year, and occasional showers for two more months, and dry for about four months. There is moss on all the timber and houses in this valley. some as much as two feet long. The immigrant who expects to get good and here must take about twenty- five to forty dollars per acre to pay for said land. There is vacant land in tbf Coast ran?e of mountains, be tween the Williamette valley and the Pacific coast but is very hilly, the soil is good and stock fare well here all winter without teed, but it is very difficult to herd, or take care or tnem for the fact that the ground in most places is covered with fallen timber, brush &c, rendering it almost im possible to get through on horse back, and if cattle are not salted and fed here they go wild and are worth to the owner no more than the same number of elk in the mountains. Game, such as deer and elk are abundant here, trout are in all the mountain streams. Cauger, pan ther and wild cat also abound here. The Williamette valley is a healthy country, for all persons except those afflicted, or predisposed to consump tion, rheumatism, nasal catarrh, or heart disease. The Chinamen is the reliance tor work on the Pacific slope and a la boring w'lite man has no show here. It you have a home here stay at it, if you "want work, you can get ten jobs here to one on the Pacific slope. Now if ten or fifteen men will go to eastern Oregon north of the Blue mountains, and take land together, and cut a ditch and lead water into the midst of the claims and one take a timber claim in the mountains for the benefit of all, good and valuable homes can be obtained in this way, but one man is powerless, as all the good land next the timber, and bavin"- water has been taken. This country is healthy and is good for wheat, fruit and stock. 1 ours, R. F. C. Notes from the Surrounding Country on the Subject. SOMETHING FOR THE LADIES. ft roMraliv v7 Sudden Death of a Dis'ingmshed Odd Fellow. From the;C!inton Democrat. VV from Mr. Chas. S Robin son, who was a represenative to the Grand Lodge, I. O. O.

Appkton Journal: Farmers all over the country report com plant ing nearly through with, and have hopes ot big crops. Carthage Patriot: Wm. E.

Don't crowd them too much ; give them plenty to eat, water to drink, and keep them in the shade. Clinton Democrat: M. Jenkins, who lives just over the Henry line in Cass county, 6 miles west ot Unch, reports very Mattering crop prospects. Farmers have about completed corn planting and the stand so far as now seen promises to be good. Wheat and oats were never better. Meadows are highly productive, and farmers very cheer ful.
