THE AY EST SHORE.
Whidby and Camano glands form
Island county in Washington Territo
ry, with Coupe villi? as the county Mat.
Whidby is about fifty nrjllea long, by
from three to twelve miles wide. It
Contains upwards of lift) thousand acres
of fertile agricultural land, easily fittefl
up for cultivation, of which about ten
thousand acres arc natural prairies.
Most of the prairie land is situated near
the center of the island, while the marsh
land is easily reclaimed. Most of it is
north of Coupevillc, large quantities
being found in the Duwalla, Oak and
Crescent Harbor settlements, the best
soil being here and near the center of
island, w hile the southern part of the
island has hut little fertile soil and few
farms. There are upwards of 1.1,000
acres of laud in cultivation or pasture.
Rich str ikes in placer mining are re
ported in Baker county. A ditch, now
completlng,by Vandevner, Ross & Co,,
will insure them twenty-five dollars per
day to the hand as soon as it reaches
their claim. Wherever water can he
had t'ui sluicing purposes from three
to six dollars to tin- hand is being made
with a Kicker. Quartz bonanzes are
reported there. Swayze Bros, cleaned
up one hundred and thiitv-livc dollars
from eleven tons of surface rock.
Some of their quarts taken out lately is
literally streaked with gold, assaying
up into the thousands. Numerous
other "clean ups" also make very tine
showings, and the present season will
Undoubtedly prove a prosperous one
for our mining districts.
'The Willamette valley is 10 miles
in length by JO to 60 miles in width.
Contains about 5,oo,ox) acre- suscep
tible to cultivation. Lands here are
mostly taken up, hut can be purchased
at a reasonable price from parties who
have mote than they can take care of.
The UmpqUa valley lies south of the
Willamette valley, and is only about
one-half its 1U0. hut is very fertile and
well watered. The wool from that
section has the best reputation of all
Oregon wools. Markets are tfood, as
Roseburg and Oakland, the principal
towns, are connected by railroad with
Portland, and they abo have another
outlet to the ocean by the way of
Scottsbuie; and the UmpqUa river.
Paul, in the Salem AVf'eV, writes
from Ynquinn I tax : " As a farming
COUntiy I do not think that this will
ever be very good ; that is, for the pro
duction of wheat. I am told that oats
di very well. Some are turning their
attention to the cultivation of hops.
Mr. A. W. Wright hfti some two or
three hundred vines that took splendid.
A to raising vegetables of nil kinds
this place cannot xeiv Well he beat. It
is said to be as good .1 place for bees as
there is on the coast. It is alto will
adapted to stock raising. We are an
ticipating lively times on account of the
railroad that is being built fiom t'or-
nllis to this bay, and sincerely hope
that it may be pushed forward to com
pletion at an e.ulv day."
