Stuwaht : Dear Sir : I received your letter of the HU ult, mid will now answer the ques tions to the best of my aridity. lu the lirst place commencing at the foot of the Caseado Mnuntaius and running in an easterly direc tion, pasting Cache Creek, Sininw Crock, the Great lcseliuto llivor (the length of which is two hundred miles, and the average width 'JOO feet) there is not much farming laud, but it is highly alapted to stock rais ing, as all the country is covered with the finest of bunch grass. Anywhere you wish to stop on the river you have a good stiyk ranch, lor the country for a 'hundred miles both north, south and east is covered with the finest sort of grass and under hronse for cattle sud horses. Also the numerous clus ters of junipers afford a shelter tltnt is actu ally better than a bam, for it never jjeti muddy under foot. 1 have locu here eleven years, and 1 think tin: avcrago depth of snow is '2 inches. Sometimes for two mouths in winter there is no snow at nil, but other times the snow falls alnut .S inches deep, und theu conies the "chinook" or warm south west coast winds, which takes it all olf ex cept on tho north side ef the hills. In the winter the stock goes luck on to uhat we call desert Und, !:oro tho grass is reserved in summer for them in wiuter. not by being fenced, but for tho reason that in summer there is uo water, hut in winter it is plenty. and for this reason there will be plenty of grass on these places forlifty years or longer. Stock raisers have but very little use for other than the natural feed that is free for every roan. Wheat never has been worth less than a dollar a bushel, and sometimes twice that amount. There are numerous little valleys in every direction that are very fertile for all the smalt grains and grasses. All the hardy Tegetables do well here, and in many places all kinds are rafsed. From the Deschutes Hiver you "pass over 12 miles of couutry that is literally covered with grass, juniper timber and plenty of brouse for tock in wiuter. Then yon are at the lower end of Crooked Iliver valley, which is ab'tut "Tt miles long and extends almost due cast and west This i a beautiful valley with little or no timber in it, with tho exception of illows aloug tho river. The average width of this river is 100 feet. It gets very low in summer aud autumn, but high in tho spring, but not h;gh enough to enierfere with bridges. Now comes the stock country ou the south of this river, and along its entire length is one line ef hills and plateaus thickly covered with bunch grass of the beat i'n-Jiiy. livery few miles comes in a creek from the high lands back ou either side. On these stream from head to mouth, with few exceptions, arc good farming lands. At this tunc there are hun dreds of thousands of acres of grnd land ly- ng idle, waiting for the industrious ianncr to fence and plow ami raise grain on, I'nt what is the use ! Tln.ro U uo inarkut for grain except in limit.-1, quantities, as wo have uo facilities for shipping to theoutstde world. The consequence is tkat if a man doesn't have mont-y euocgh to go into tho stock business be won't come heie at all. Peace w as made with the Indian:) here oiily two year ago, and f.tuiilies iiat e ljcen afraid to ettl., but Ihry are i.uw coinin' i.i to a coiuiilerable I extent. I he one j-reat tn.uldc here U to get j our supplies. When a man with a lrs-n fam- i ily has to go WO and ui:i iigio ."U0 miles to i Hitll and to do his trading, what is tin: ue of scUiiug in such a country. If n had a r?il- j road somewhere on the c t wet f here, j and running east ax to connect w ill: tome j of the through lines it would open tip thou- j anus of good farms and homes. j A soeu as it is a tK-ttlod fact tht the t )r- I eion Pacilic will be built, jut whi-er the i tulins that there n such a country a this, i and only hu, aero,, the j the .ibmette ad.y, and there w ,;!

Our soil is j 1st at producticfl as tlieiri, and j our climate a L-rcat tieal milder, but thev I have transportation ami wc have not. Civej us a railroa.1 aud we are fatisiied ; it is all that is needed to mske this one of the most prosperous localities on the coait. Within a year after the completion of a railroad to this locality, tlie people over iu your section will be surprised at the vast amount of ;rrain recoivei from here. Your whole valley ami the Sound country will be supplied with stock from here. As it is now we have to drive onr fat cattle from one to two hundred tndes ir. the winter to find a market, and by the time we get them there they are poor. Give ns a railroad aud we cad shin our fat stock 500 miles to market and afford to sell cheaper than those who live in yonr valley. We do not ha ve to feed at all. We mark and brand a calf, turn him out on the range and when he is four-year old sell him for $'Jt) cash net profit about $17. J!ethut ihju ! Cive us facilities for getting to a letter mar ket, and it will pay letter. Our whole country is either the best of farming or grazing laud, and if a railroad is run through it every acre will be worth from f 10 to 100. .Nearly all the land belonging to the Cascade Mountain Wagon Road Co. in this section is of the very best, and as it is not now for sale it retards the settlement of the country very much. It would be very valuable in case a railroad should run through hero, and as it is now, without a railroad, I would willingly pay the company 850 per acre for all that I am able to buy. As you go east from here along the line of the military road the valleys get a great deal larger, the soil more productive, the climate milder, and -the timber is of a better quality, and there is more of it, and the country is capable of sustaining a very large population, but without a railroad it will always have to be devoted exclusively to stock raising. Hoping that I have not tresspassed too much on your patience, I remain Yours as ever, L. Yasukiiiwu, M. D. Aeeldenlally Kbof. On last Saturday afternoon a young man named Smith met with a fearful accident, which in all probability will end in his death. He was out on a deer stand near the old Nye place above Lcbanoii, and while standing on a log with the breach of bis gun resting by his feet, the gun slipped off and the hammer striking the log discharged the bullet into his side, It ranged upward breaking several ribs aud finally lodging somewhere in the upper part of the body. The gun was the old fashioned yager which shoots a bullet of enormous size, and those who have seen one can imagine what a fear ful wound it will produce. . Dr. Ballard was called and dressed the wound, but says the chances for the young man's recovery are glim. ! gall ! ult ! Just received a car load of salt in 0, 10.) and 20 lb. sacks.

I expect soon t see in the IhvijoHntn an article on "I'ull-doning on Camp Creek." QTho weather has been very flue out here since I arrived. It rained a little to-day, just enough to lay the dust. I am located on a ranch fifteen miles below here on Camp Creek and 8 miles below the famous "o:'p holes." We can raise almost anything out here tiu less it is a mortgage. We have all the pota toes, turnips, onions, carrots and lieots we want ; all were raised on our ranch, aud, by V)'. tliey are immense. I palled one W . which measured 34 J inches io circum ference, and quite a number run as high aa :t0 inches. How is that for high ? Faily Kose potatoes do remarkably well here. I have in aliotit o acres of rye, and will sow almut JO acres of wheat and oats in the spring. Stock looks well, but from what I can learn they must have suffered rery severely last winter. I think fully &0 por cent of the cattle died at that time, but tho loss in horses was light I had a good ti ne comiug over, but i found an entirely different country here from what I expected. Hurly, tho assayer, still stays at the "soap holes" or silver wells, trying to work out some way of saving the silver. He says they are working better than ever, and assay as high as $3000 to the ton. He is very san guine of success, and informs me that ha will succeed in getting several mining ex perts to come up from San Francisco to visit this country soon. Your very truly, L, N. Lnuiarr. A saw-Mas AreMeat. A sad acuideut happened at Independence last Friday evening, which may result in the loss of a life. It seems thsf twe little boys named William I-awrenoo and William Ly ous, each about fifteen years of age, had gone out in the country a short distance from town to have a good time together that after starting home they were overtaken by the stage from this city and the driver took them up to let them ride home. While riding along young Lyons took ont his pistol and commenced snapping it at his cotnpanien, who repeatedly told him not (to de it, as it might be loaded. Hut to this Lyons Slid no attention, saying that it was Dot loaded, when linally the fatal chamber snapped and a ball was sent whizzing through the face of young I-awrence. Tha ball struck just be low the nose and ranged along back over tbe upper jaw, finally ledgiog just back o( the left ear. The unfortunate lad was hurriedly taken home, and a physician called, who dressed the wound, but as the boy was weak from Iom of blood would not extract the bail at that time. Oiwinl Lodge.
