ALEC AN INTERESTING LETTER From an old Resident of Bate. County, who now lives in Washington Territory- SpaNGLE, W. T. May 28, "82. Ep. Tres: You and many others may want to know stopped, so I will tell you and also say somethimg of the country. I) ‘called a halt’? in Spokan county, Washington Territory, 125 miles north of Walla Walla, four- teen miles west ot the Idaho line, near the North Pacific road, and eighteen miles south of. Spaken Falls. This isa beautiful country, mostly rolling prairie and nearly all tillable. But very little 1s too rough to plow, and the high land is just as rich as the low land. There is plen- ty of timber for all purposes, it b ing mostly pine, tamarac and fir; also some cedar. ‘here are plenty of saw and grist mills. The coun- have where I have ; be- | Pierce City Recofd. Wheat har- vest has begun and if the weather | continues favorable a big yield will be safely stored in the garner. Rich Hill Entegp¥ise: The Gult road shipped 720 cars of coal during the month of May, which is a good ' showing for a spring month. Dent Co. Demodgat: Thewheat | crép of Dent county never looked | better at this time of year, and there j is a teeling of gratitude among our farmer friends. i Nevada Democfat: The Texas | wheat crop is said to be the finest | ever harvested, and the cow boy now smacks his cheps at the thought of greasy fritters.” Joplin Heald: J. B. Clark, of} | Audrain county, has a cow weigh- | ing goo pounds, which gives 42 | pounds of milk aday, ora little i over her weight in 22 days. | Nevada Democgat: Hon. R. F. try is rapidly fillmg up, mostly with a good class of people, and nearly all from the states of Missouri, U- linois, Indiana, Ohio and Kansas, although nearly every state in the union is represented. The climate here is cool the year round, seldom going above seventy Or below zero. You need two good blankets to sleep under almost any night in the year, and there are no flies to bother you. It seldom ever thunders or light- nings in this country, and we have no cyclones, no straight wind storms to kiow downtowns and lay the country waste. The health of this region is fine. en we left. Mis- souri my wife was thought to be in the last stage of consumption. Now she 1s stout and hearty. I have not been sick one moment since I have been here. As to what is produced in this country: corn does not do well. but it is the finest wheat country I -ever saw andI expect the finest in the world. The average yield is from thirty to fifty bushels per acre, but it has been known to yield from sixty to eighty. It is sown and from March till June; some fall wheat is sown and does well. Oats and barley yield trom fifty to sixty bushels per acre. Timothy and cloyer do well. Clover sown inthe spring will seed the same tall. Blue and all other grasses do well here; all kinds ot vegetables and nearly all kinds of } I-have seen as fine | fruit likewise. apples here as anywhere, and peach- es do finely on the Snake and Spo- kan rivers. As to land, nearly all ot the Gov- ernment land has been taken up in | this section. I live within the limits of the railroad grant. The North Pacific has a,grant eighty miles wide, they owning every other section, which makes them a strip. of land forty miles wide. It is selling very rapidly at $2.60 per acre. Some of it 1s very fine and some very rough. The railroadiis nearing completion. The section crossing Idaho) and Washington Ty. is finished and the entire force ¢f 10,000 hands are now at work in Montana on the- Yellow- stone river. The towns in Spokan county are Spokan and Chiney, which 1s the county seat, and a nice little place of about 1,000 inhabitants. Spokan Falls 1s situated on the south bank of the Spokan river, at the talls of that mame. The town has about 1,500 inhabitants and quite a num- ber of business houses. The falls have a descent of 125 feet in one mule, which makes as fine water power as can be found. There is one mill here now and another is be- ing built. There are other places of trade—post-offices and stores—in the county. Asto politics, they are pretty evenly divided. There is nothing at present to draw the lines very close. We would soon have a fine county out here if we had some windy edi- tor, like some of you Bates county writers, to blow up the country. We have no bi no drouth, plenty ot rain, no irrigation needed, and ‘as fine a supply of water as lever saw anywhere. You can hardiy find 160 acres without from one to three liv- -ing springs:on it, and-vou -can dig down almost anywhere from six to tenteet and stnke good water. It 1s all soft water here, too—no jhime in it. I can see into British meric from here, and see t! mA mountains the year around. Stock dves fine in this country. They live nearly the whole year ‘around without'care or feed.) There was but very hittle © stock last winter here and they all pulled ‘Conta he I ue 3; ican not do without the Toles and your gases 6= Asever, — }4 t J.

Mayor Jones has issued a | proclamation ordering all persons to | muzzle their dogs, or otherwise they | will be shot on sight. Nevada Democrat: Ehas Falor, of this county, recently sold a bunch of cattle for $100 per head. This looks as though cattle men ought to pocket a good per cent. of profit on stock this year. Nevada Ledger: W.E. Walton & Co., of this city, sold in musical goods last Friday, $1,000 worth. This firm is composed of live, enter- prising business men, who keep themselves prepared to sell goods as cheaply as any house in the west. Springfield Express: A young man named John Reed some three months sinee mysteriously disap- peared trom Lawrence county, and as.he had some money in his pos- session at the time, suspicion ct foul play is entertained by some of his acquaintances, Nevada Democrat: The first | Monthly Stock Sales ot Bates county | are set for the 3d Monday in this | month at Butler.

Taking this tact as a basts, it | is evident to anyone that 4,cco is a low estimote of the population of Rich Hil. Schell City Mews: The physicians of Vernon county met in convention Thursday of last week, at Nevada, for the purpose of forming a County Medical Association. A constitution and by-laws were adopted. wr. J.P. Hayes, of Schell City, was elected president. Lamar Southwest Missourian: There was a tramp im the city one day last week begging and investing the proceeds in whiskey. The city authorities having been duly notified of the fact, warned him to leave town, which he agreed to do withina stated time. Fanlng to do this, he was ar- rested and put on the rock pile,which was just what he deserved.

Fournal: The fu- | ture of Howel! county is bright with | promise of prosperity and rapid de- | velopment. The wheat crop is so far advanced as to be safe against all acci- makes contingencies of wheather or dent. Besides a heavier crop will} be raised this vear than has proba- bly ever been raised in the country. The corn crop is backward, owing | tothe cold weather, but has plenty of time yet in which ‘to grow and mature. i Nevada Ledger: » |~ T... Deatly. of Bates county, has purchased the Aaron Walton farm, on the north side ot the Marmatorn, in Osage township, and will remoye his family | from Bates to the farm in the fall. He also purchased the John and Tom Williams tract of land ot two } hundred acres, which lies a half mile | west of his first purchase. We arc! informed that Mr. Deatley is a thorough farmer, and we, with oth- ers, gladly welcome him to Vernon county. | Barton Co. Progress: Thegreat event of the week, of interest to farmers, was the reaper trial which came off at Golden City on’ Monday between the Marsh and ‘Woods self binders. Although fifty dollars -had | been paid to one of the judges to de- | cide in favor of the Woods, two out | ot the three decided in favor of the | Marsh, and upon an appeal to the crowd of farmers present they almost | unanimously gave the preference to | to the Marsh.
