hi 't 3 '. n f " Washington Territory. "WAiTsnuft;, "Walla, Walla Co.,? January 24, 1SS0. S Euitou Jouuxal : It was my in tention to write to the Joukxal sooner. Waiting to learn more of the country must be my apology for delay. There is much to interest the reader by giviug a description of the whole route from Boise City, Idaho, to Walla Walla City, but 1 must overlook the route for the present, and speak of Walla. After crossing the Blue mountains by the Thomas and Nuckles toll road, we cross a corner of the Una tilla reservation aud reach the town of Weston, situated in a fine farm ing district. It was the 5th of Sep tember and the harvest was not near all cut, but the headers were at work in the fields aud the header wagons were coining back and from the threshing machine; then in a trot for another load. The horses arc generally large and well built, at least I never saw on an average as line teams iu any farming communi ty as I did here and in Grand Round Valley, Oregon. There are two things strike the eye of the Btranger as rather odd, one is to see no level land, all high rolling country; and another is to sec the piles of sacked grain corded up iu the fields as if iu a ware-house, six hundred to one thousand bushels sometimes in a pile, you would naturally ask Docs it never rain? The roads arc deep with dry dust, and looking at the dry appearance of things gen oral I j you arc sur prised to see such fino fields of grain. There is very liltlc prairie, the laud being pretty much nil farmed and well fenced ; occasionally thero is a farm where the' have not been able to reach water, and here we see them hacliug water for the harvest ers and the learns; (his is the picture presented all along in the fields, whilo many who have got their threshing done, are hauling tjie wheat to market. "When did you have any rain?" we ask of some of the farmers. "Not since last May," was tho answer, aud the rain don't generally commence till October. It looks strange to sec forty or fifty bushels of wheat to an acre where thero has been no rain for three or four months. The point is this, that the grain is 60wn any lime along through the winter,whcn thogrouud is not froze, but tho greater part is Bown in February and March ; then the grain is well rooted before dry weather and when that docs set in, it is not hot; the weather in summer is seldom hot and the nights are always cool. Another point is, the soil is a heavy loam. You can dig poBt holes and never press the spade with your foot, and yet wells are dag and left without curbing, and remain good for years. The moist ure appears to rise to the surface. I have seen pieces of boards which had bcou left on the dry ground iu the ovening around the camps, have the under sidcre in the morning. It is generally regarded as one of the evils of this territory that the atmosphere is too damp, and while it promotes the growth of crops, it is serere on those who are most subject to throat and lung diseases, and also on young children. We 6eldom hear any one complaining of anything else than colds; fever and ague, and kindred diseases arc un known. Diphtheria was very severe a year and two years ago; great numbers of children died of it, but I have not heard of it anywhere this wiuter This territory has settled very fast for the past two years; a heavy immigration from California is pouring in all the time, and the laud is being taken up very fast. The place I write from is about eighteen mil C8 .nearly due north from Walla "Walla City, aud I know of one farm oflG0 acres about a mile from town being sold about a month ago for $5,000, aud this is not an exceptional case; farms arc all held at high figures. Nearly all the immigration of the past season has located north of the Snake river, in what is known as Pollu6C country and Spokeaue Falls, Four Lakes and Deep creek. A considerable town called Colfax is central in the Polluse county, has the U. S. land office there, aud is distant from here about sixty miles. Spok cane Falls is one hundred miles nearly due north from here. The Northern Pacific It. R. is surveyed through the latter town, aud will be built past that point the coming summer; the graders are at work since October last; they have com raenced between the forks of the Columbia aud Snake rivers, aud that point is called Ainsworth. Rail road iron and all supplies are hipped by boat up to this point. About one hundred white men and some four hundred Chinamen con stitute tho present grading force; the contracts for the ties were let some time ago. The division which they intend to complete next sum mer will extend from Ainsworth to Pen Deoral lake, which is some ways east of Spokcanc Falls. I was talk ing Id-day wilb Mr. Cooncy, broth er to our friend Clark Cooncy ; he has a large herd of cattle and horses down near Ainsworth, and has been furnishing beef to the company there. He is well posted in regard to the country, and he thinks that the emigration the coming season will go further west down near the bisr bend of the Columbia river; the climate will be belter there than in the Pollnsc country, that is it will be warmer; most of the country north ol Snake river is pretty cold for farming; wheat does well, but for garden slufi, such as vines of all kinds, the frosts very often injure them, aud for fruit it is pretty cold, but everywhere on this side of the Suake river fruit does splendid. When we came.to Walla Walla last fall the apple, pear and peach trees were all loaded down with fruit; trees 6uch as I never before saw in any country ; all had to be propped to keep the branches from breaking off, and grapes of the finest quality in great abuudance; apples sold'at tho orchards at one-half cent per lb. for windfalls, and three-fourths of a cent to a cent aud pick them off tho trees; peaches were a little higher. There were several people camped in a grove east of town who had long tables made for drying apples on, and werelikcwise canning fruit. The fruit crop of Walla Walla coun ty has been immense the past sea sou; scarcely a day after the fruit was ripe but freighters wore start ing out with loads of apples to diUcrcut points iu the newer settled districts. Tho climate is something that is hard to describe; there is uot much frost, nor aro there any severo storms, yet some would as soon have the climate of Nebraska as this; the reason is thero is so little suu shine. I have seen two whole weeks together iu which thero were scarcely two days of sunshine all put together, aud this is the way it is in winter. A little rain or boow, sometimes foggy for two or threo days. There was only oue cold spell, and that was the only time since I came here that the wind was from the north ; it lasted three or four days, ending on Christmas day ; the coldest here has 23s below zero, while in the Polluse country it was about 35s below zero. It can change from cold to warm weather here the quickest of any place I ever saw. I haye seen six inches of snow on the grouud at 9 o'clock at night, and then the wind shift suddenly, and blow a strong gale from the south west, and iu the morning wake up and find the snow all gone. Theso winds are called Chiuuooks, an In dian name. I think they come from tho sea, and will melt off tho snow and dry up the ground faster than strong sunshine. This part is not much of a place for stock, as all the laud fit to farm is farmed, and no stock range left, but iu some other parts of the terri tory they keep large herds of cattle and sheep. Sheep men say they have no sheds for their sheep uoth iug but a grove of timber to shelter in, aud some hay to feed in bad weather. All open sheds are built to face the north, the wind being so seldom from that point. The town of Waitsburg has three dry-goods and grocery stores, two hardware and drug-stores, two sa loons, two butcher shops, and any number of citizens who rejoice iu the title of professor, judge, major, preacher, etc. There is a fine school building with three teachers, aud over 100 pupils. School is kept up for nine months in the year. Some one will naturally ask, when harvest commences. I believe about the first of August, generally, and continues till the grain is cut, which is often six weeks after it has beeu ripe, without damage, or loss by shelling. At the rate immigration has been coming in, this territory will be overcrowded iu a short time. Some parts of eastern Oregon are as ad vantageous to settlers, and afford better Block ranges than this terri tory. I topped over at Boise City, Ida ho, and Baker City, Oregon, about a mouth in all, aud worked at har vesting in both places; this recruited my team, which was getting pretty well tired out, but, as George Bar num told me when I traded with him for the mules, they never left me fttuck iu a mud-hole, aud only once on the whole route did I hitch auother team ahead of them, and this was while fording the Platte river, west of Laramie. James Scully. Roone Comity. Editor Jouun'al: For a long time I have deferred corresponding, thinking perhaps some one else could write np the "news" from this vicinity better than I. During this long time the pen has indeed been silent as regards the busiuess activi ty and prosperity of our town. Albion indeed, is rising above boasting of a very few houses, and doing scarcely anything in the line of improvements and prosperity. On the other hand she is all life and business activity since it is a cer tainty that she like the mauy other towns throughout the State is to havo her railway. We havo now a large lumber yard just starting under the favorable auspices of your wide-awake and energetic townsmen, Messrs. Jseggi & Schupbach. George Ricdcr is doing a flourish ing business here in the mcrchantile line, and gains customers every day, which speaks well for one who has recently "pitched" his tent among us. Our railroad, when completed, will give to us varied exhaustless advantages which could not be over come while we were without the rail transportation facilities. We j uave a good stock aud agricultural couutry enrrouuding us and reach ing out to the vast rich lauds milfes northwest of us; these will bo trib' utary to this town for many years to come. We are now where Co lumbus was one year ago, or ap proaching that point in our business relations that will give an impetus to the growth of our town and the general prosperity qf its citizens. This will bo n large shipping point for all kiuds of grains and' products of the farm, iucluding that of stock business. We have a bank; the proprietor of the same is from Red Oak, Iowa, and seems to be a man well and thoroughly experienced iu that busi ness. This indeed ha3 beeu an in stitution which the community has wanted for the past three years. Lewis Bros, are still the old pro prietors of the Reliable drug-store. L. C. Dearborn, who has settled here, has a drug-store under flyiug colore and is gaining a liberal pat ronage from the people. We have threo doctors in our midst, but we are glad to say that at present there is but little sickness, which relieves them of growing rich at the expense of the public. Niuo lawyers I believe can bo seen on our streets every day aud it is a dilemma to us how they all can prosper, as but little disturbances of any kind take place among our people, who arc disposed to settle their own little afiairs between themselves. We have four general dry goods stores, and they all seem to he pros perous. Throe blacksmith shops are in full blast all the time. Two harness shops are kept busy constantly. A new hotel is going up, and still the demands are such upon our citi zens that we need plenty of housed to let, which would be a payiug iu vestment to those erecting them. Riley & Clark have a large hard ware stock aud aro preparing for the spring demand. They keep all kinds of farming implements on hands for the farming public. Galbraith Bros, are a great acqui sition to this town as business men ; they havo a largo building chock full of stoves and shelf hardware, besides in their yard can be found anything iu the shape of farm ma chinery, that man desires to culti vate the soil with. We could, if wo were not crowd ing on your space, give you still more items. We will try at some other time to give other and varied information. "Settler." For tuo Jouit.NAi.. .Stock: Cloip. I. Mu. EniToit : It is an undisputed fact that our beautiful State is well adapted to stock of any kind. No oue can deny that stock as a general thing pays best. Add to this tho fact that of the different kiuds of produce of our soil, corn, oats aud barley which chiefly aro fed to stock are the surest and most prolific crops. From all this follows that it is best to raise slock, and yet not everybody can raiso any kiud of stock. While tho geueralt Bmall farmer can have only one or two cowb and raise a couple of calves he is soon for want of room, or pas ture, or hay, or money, compelled to sell his calves. He at least realizes a little something for them. But he cannot enter upon cattle raising to any extent. He may al90 raise a colt or two by having them in pasture with some one. But there is one kiud of stock that everybody can raiee and that is hogs. Every farm er can have a few or mauy hogs according to his liking aud ability, aud if he only gets the right kiud he can make mouey by it. Wo say the right kind. Each one of tho pre vailing finer breeds have their good points. No one can despise the Po land China, the Chester-whites, the Essex aud others, but the writer, after trying a number of other breeds, prefers the Bcrkshires, or at least a good cross from them. Thoy are easily kept. In the spring, sum mer and fall they board themselves on prairie grass, wild artichokes aud other roots which latter they dig in tho sloughs and ravines. And then they easily fatten. The National Live Stock Journal of December last contains a report of an experi ment made at the Illinois Industrial University farm, the substance of which is as follows as far as it re lated to difference between a Berk shire aud a Poland China, both fed on old corn : Wtlgtt Sapt. 6. Sept. 19. Oct. 17. Qiin. Berkshire, lf0 lbs. 175 190 225 214 lb 39 lo'il China. 17rt v..., . The same advantage of the Berk shires over some, other breeds is established by many facts. Their early and fast maturing is beyond all qnestiou. Let me quote once more from the same journal of No vember, 1879. It contains a state ment on page 498 made by Hewer Bros., of Bolvidere, III., to the effect that a Berkshire sow of theirs far rowed April 21, 1879, weighed on Sept. 15, 180 lbs., on the 23d, 194 lbs , on the 30th, 204 lbs., on Oct. 7th, 220 lbs., and Oct. 13lh, 23G lbs. She was then 5 mouths and 22 days old. Such facts as these and the writer's own experience induce him to give the preference to the Berkshire blood in full or in part. More anon. Breeder. "When two funerals meet at the cemetery, it is embarrassing to have one undertaker call to the other, "How's business?" Mwitit Potato Cnltivtttion. First, select your ground, which should be very loose and mellow, sandy land being the best; but any soil is good if not too hard, and if your ground was plowed last Spring it is all the better. Have your plants all ready, aud commence and plow furrows lengthwise, running north and south being best, four feel apart, and when this is done, turn and run the plow right back in the same furrow, makiug it deeper aud throw ing the soil out at the other side; now, turn and plow this right back, going twice on each side; thus you have large ridges of loose soil, and if naturally loose it will not pack with heavy rains, and, being loose deeper under the ridges, the rain will work under right where it is wanted." Now take a plank about ten feet long, tying the ends of a rope to each end of the plank, hav ing the rope three feet longer than the plank, and hitch tho team to the center of the rope. Turn the team in, one on each side of the second ridge, and go back and forth on every third ridge, making the top of the ridge about one foot wide. Now the grouud is ready for the plants, aud it is necessary to have the plants ready for the ground, and set the plants ou the rido two feet apart, aud makiug a hole for the plants with a smooth, sharp slick oue and a half inches in diameter. Drop the plant into tho hole, leaving one or two inches out of tho grouud, and press the soil around the plants. Always set the plants iu the after noon or a near night as possible, keep clear from woeds, aud keep the vines rolled up on the top of the ridges so as not to let them take root along the vines. If not dug when the vines are killed by frost, the vines may be cut off close to the potato immediately, or the,; will soon spoil. Then, the sooner the potatoes aie dug the better. Keep in a dry, warm cellar, packed in barrels with dry sand. If this is done you may have sweet potatoes the year round. JOHK TANNAHILLL. She hung upon his arm so loving ly, aud beamed up. in his eyes with all the radiance of those pale blue eyes. Her heart would speak aud yet the tongue refused its utterance. But lovo and admiration broke the spell aud from the rapture of her soul she breathed forth: "Your mustache is beginning to grow." A great many boys and girls fall desperately in love with each other, and rave over disappointed hopes, before they are old enough to tell the difference between the heartache and the colic. Very few such cases prove fatal. Said a parent to his little sou, who had committed some act of indiscre tion : "Do you know that I am going to whip you?" "Yes," said tho boy, "I suppose you are, because you are bigger than I am." A horse in Chicago drank two gallons of beer'by mistake for water, and iu about fifteen minutes he danced around the wagon and wanted to know who run the town if ho didn't. Much is said about the healing power of imagination. There must he something in it, because many a man supposes he is well "heel'd" when it is only in his mind. Sin always begins with pleasure aud ends with bitterness. It is like a colt which the little boy said was very lame in front and very wild behind. "A hair ou the head is worth a dozen iu the hash I" says an ex change. But then it doesn't attract near so much attention. A sweet temper is to the house hold what sunshine is to trees aud flowers. Worryiug will wear the richest life to shreds. LOUIS SCHROER MANUFACTURER AND DEALER IN 7 s agron PLATFORM SPRING WAGONS, Buggies. Backboards. &c- Blacksmith shop Near the Foundry.
