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

almost all fenced up and in cultiva

this valley is worth as much or more

and occasional showers for two more
months, and dry for about four
months. There is moss on all the

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,

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. F., of the
State of Missouri which was in ses
sion at St. Louis, last week, that the
Lodge convened on the 20th inst.,
and adjourned on the 23d. holding an
interesiing and harmonious session,
the only interruption being the sud
den death ot I. M. Veitch, Post
Grand Sire of the Sovereign Grand
1 th. IT. who took an
active part during the said session.
Leaving the lodge room a short time
before is o'clock on the lid inst ,
going to hisoffice where he complain
ed of feeling ill, and before a physi?
cian could be summoned there dying
while sitting m his chair. He was
at the time of his death 66 years of
age, and in point of honor, character
and position stood at the head of Odd
fellowship in the State ot Miss ouri.
Appkton Journal: Farmers all
over the country report com plant
ing nearly through with, and have
hopes ot big crops.
Carthage Patriot: Wm. E. Hall
brought to the Patriot office this fore
noon a bunch of blue grass, grown
on his Model Stock Farm, that meas
ured 57 inches. Can any beat this?
Clinton Advocate: Don't forget
when you have chickens in a coop
they are at your mercy ; and remem
ber the golden rule. 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. Carthage Patriot: Mrs. B. J.
Jeans, wife of the gentleman who
bought I. Johnson' farm on Nortn
Fork, has over soo spring chickens
hatched out by the old and reliable
way of the hen. Also 30 young
turkeys, and over 100 eggs yet to
hear from, She has every available
hen now doing duty on nests full of
eggs, and will probably have 1,000
before the season is over. What
woman m Jasper county can make a
better showing?
Ciinton Democrat: Last Satur
day R. T. Lindsay of Fields Creek
township, sold to Mr. Bennett of
Illinois, 120 head ot cattle, averaging
about 1,300 at $77,25 per bead.
They were 3-vear-olds this spring,
and nearly all raised by Mr. Lindsay
on his farm. They were shipped to
Chicago. Mr L. has realized from
cattle fed the past winter $Qt75
He is one of our most prominent and
active larmers, ana is constant
looking out to improve his stock.
He is much pleased with his voting

for him bv W. V. Gray in Indiana,

Having removed our yard to North
Main street we would say to the pub

everything in our line. Our stock is
complete and dry, our grades are of
the best and our prices as low as the
lowest in the southwest.
