A Cahuahaaita Writer af Hia West
ern Trip.
Sosm aotea takea by E. H. Jeakiaa oa
hia recent western trip:
The city of Vancouver, Washiagtoa,
lies on the baak of the Columbia river
oa good dry land aad commands a splen
did view of the river which at thia place
ia jaat about a mile wide aad at present
ie deep, being near twelve feet above low
water gauge and rising at the rate of
eleven inohes every 21 hours, ia now bank
fall and reported raising above here
which will make high water soon. AH
kiade of driftwood ia oomiag down logs
aa large aa three feet through being in
tha drift
Vancouver ia about the size of Colum
bus or a little smaller; the business being
aboat all on one street, the main street
beiag paved with Washington fir for
several blocks. There ia a ferry boat
that croflocm to the street can for Port
laad every half hour and a steamer that
leaves here for Portland twice a day
goiag six miles down the Columbia and
twelve miles ap the Willamette to the
city; it ia a aiee ride on the latter route
of one aad a half houra.
There are two lines of steamers go up
the river every foreaooa, I think aa far
aa the Dalles, and return in the evening.
There waa an excuraioa ap the river on
Sunday; they went a distance of forty
miles for 50c the round trip.
In town and in the country near hare
there ia aa abundance of fruit such aa
cherries, strawberries, (three of which
fill a aaace dish,) two or three different
kinds of prunes, pears, apples, peaches,
eta, etc. Within five miles of the town
there are aboat fifteen or twenty fruit
driera or evaporators that dry all loads
of fruit at ao much per pound, and am
told that last year the fruit crop waa so
heavy that all the driera were taxed to
their utmost and then many tone of fruit
apoiled before it could be taken care of.
Moat all limbs of the trees had to have
props aader them, the fruit beiag ao
heavy; but thia year ia many places the
crop ia going to be very light or a failure.
However, there will be many cherries,
strawberries, a good many prunes and a
fair crop of apples, and to one from Ne
braska it looks aa though there will be
all kinda of fruit
Vancouver haa two big saw-mills, five
good churches, one large four-story hotel,
a good telephone system, a good many
nice stores, twenty-six saloons and two
railroads. Speakiag of telephones you
ahould see eome of the tall pine trees
that might be used for telephone poles;
they were at least 175 feet high and are
called tooth-picks.
We rode into the country about ten
miles and saw many places where they
are clearing the land and I made up my
mind that I didn't want any of it in mine;
they claim it ia worth $100 an acre to
dear land where the timber ia heavy.
We aaw a good many places where dyna
mite had baen used on stumps and it
looked aa though thayhad had a Fourth
of July celebration, and the fir stumpa
that had been cut for several years were
not decayed in the least while a atump
in Ohio or Michigan would rot in the
course of human events.
Vancouver ie the county seat of Clark
county and has a very creditable court
boase of brick, bat taxes are high. The
Washington asylum for deaf and damb
and btiad and also the asylum of the
feeble-minded are both located here aad
each have quite a large number of
inmstan
