June, 1880. THE WEST SHORE. .85 A CHANCE FOR SETTLERS. H. P. Isaacs, Esq., of Walla Walla, who recently visited this city, informs us that the section of country lying be tween the Deschutes and John Day rivers and extending from the Colum bia to the Crooked river, is as yet but sparsely settled, but offers good homes for at least ten thousand families. Black loam, yellow loam and light sandy loam, arc the predominating soils. A good supply of water can be got by digging 6-8 to 26 feet, according to location. Comparing this section of country with the famous Walla Walla valley, Mr. Isaacs says : " The best soil is not as good as the best of Walla Walla, neither can you find any as poor as we have in the Walla Walla valley." Summing it all up, we should consider this a very promising section to afford homes for thousands of home less from other States. There is a man in this citv so fond of money, that whenever he pays a man a sum he may owe him, he walks home with the man for the sake of being m at the money as long as possible, l'lease don't mention his name.

OUR STATE FAIR. There is no reason whatever why our State Fair this year, which begins on the 1st of July nnd ends on the evening of the 8th, should not prove an entire success. The weather pro mises well, and from what we have heard from different sections of the State and neighboring territories, we judge that the attendance will be larger than at any Fair heretofore held at Salem. The celebration of our Na tional Holiday takes place on the Fair Grounds on Monday, July 5th, and as the programme for that day is especially attractive, all who can possibly do so should attend.

A FINE FIELD OF WIIKAT. On Saturday, June 26th, we visited Hillsboro, and were shown a field of wheat, the property of Mr. A. Finney, which is the finest wc have seen this year. It stands nearly six feet in height, is pretty close and well headed, and meeting with no accident will go at least 45 bushels to the acre. Grain all over the State is looking remarkably promising, and anticipating the largest crop ever garnered in the Northwest, several additional warehouses are going up in different sections of the State to receive it. The vounr man who wants to get up with the sun, must not sit up too late with the daughter. HENRY E.
