CoLVii.i.SrjVArxKV. The permanent resi
dents of Colville Valley, Capt. White in
forms us, feci highly encouraged at their
past success and future prospects. That
taealitv is described as being susceptible
of sustaining a large population, and set
tlers going there would no doubt find
pleasant and profitable homes, but just at
this- time we cannot spare them from Ore
gon. All any part of this territory needs
is population. If people would come here,
all could easily find pleasant homes and a
healthy, prosperous country to live in.
There gre immense natural "resources all
over the country, which only need the
application of man's ingenuity to make
thera bring forth abundant fruits as a re
ward to honest toil.
Give it at Last. Henry Gilbert, a
close-fisted, but withal clever gentleman,
who commenced the manufacture of furni

about seven years since, announces that
he has lost S 10.000 a year in the last three
years by not advertising monev enough
to grade the Grand Trunk Railroad three
miles south of Jackson but that hereafter
he will do some work, wear old clothes,
and support the printer.

Yakima Covn'ty. An act was passed by
the la'.e Legislature organizing the county
of Yakima and appointing county officers.
This has been done twice before, but the
officers appointed have never qualified.
The present list, it is said, will enter upon
the duties of their offices and set the ma
chinery of their county in motion. The
Yakima Valley is of late being brought j
into notice as a stock raising country, in j
which regard it possesses superior ad van- '
t.iges. There are at present several large j
-bunds of stock in that valley, and we are ;
told that there will be a iargy number '
driven there from the lower country the
coming spring.-Walla States mm.
Ouveu Wkxdki.t. Uoi.mes sent two toet-
kal letters to the post-office' of an Eph
copal fair at Pittsiield.
In one of them
the first stanza was :
"Fair lady whosoe'er thou art,
Turn this poor leaf with tenderest care,
And hush, oh, hush thy belting heart
The one thou lovet will be there'."
On turning the "poor loaf" there vras
found a one dollar bill with some verses,
beginning :
"Fair lady, lift thine eves and tell
If this is not a truthful letter :
This is the one (I) thou lovest Well
And naught (.) can make thee lo
better (10.)''

LKiXiii. There is much excitement east
of the mountains regarding the new dig
gings of Lemhi. A correspondent of the
Walla Walla Statesman says of these
mines :
There is no mistake about them : they
are good. There are now forty gulcues
within ten miles of the discovery, which
prospect well. Some are rocking and
making big pay," there being about one
thousand people in that vicinity mining.
The country looks a good deal Tike Boise,
and 1 think will be as good. Peacock &
Mcllay gave two claims away last fall,
thinking the country no account, which
have since sold for $5,000. They are
striking new gulches every day on both
sides of the Lemhi ; there "have'also been
some rich lodes struck, both silver and
gold. There has also been struck as fine
stone coal as you ever saw, and a lode of
alum, which you cannot tell trom what
you get in a drug store. So you see that
there is a little ot everything here, and it
will be a good country-. There has been
quite a town built up in the diggings,
called Leesburg.
S. S. Hawthorne writes to the Idaho
World that there is a great deal of good
farming land on the Lemhi river, which is
about the size of South Boise, and 75 miles
in length. Leesburg, he says :
Is four hundred miles from Idaho City,
but not more than two hundred in a direct
line. Bannack is eighty, and Virginia
City one hundred an " fifty miles distant.
There is an express that carries letters and
papers to and from Bannack. Leesburg
has a population of about 500, and more
are coming every day. If the mines prove
to bo as good as the people here think they
are, byr next year our population will ex
ceed that of Boise county. The mines are
weil watered. Several ditches have been
dug and others are in contemplation. One
large ditch, three miles long and carrying
five hundred inches, is almost completed.
The ground needs no representation until
June, when jumping will commence, as
some men have as many as thirty claims,
and it will be impossible for them to rep
resent them ail.
These mines are in the big bend of
Salmon river, and there are six different
districts, with some good ground known
to be in each of them. How many of the
three thousand claims recorded in Napias
district may prove good, remains to be
tested.

DR. HENLEY'S
FOUNTAIN OF LIFE!
And Great Blood Purifier !
IN EVERT PROGRESSIVE SCIENCE
periods arrive when a new direction is
imparted to its course. These epochs pro
ceed from discovery of new facts shedding
a light which changes ihe whole aspect of the
science. The present is an epoch of this
kind, and this great remedy now oii'cred to
the public, in connection with the theory on
which it is based, is destined to effect an en
tire revolution in the treatment ot the dis
eases of
Scrofula and King's Evil !
by eradicating the disease entirely from the
blood. The Fountain, of Life is composed
eaUrely of vegetable extracts ; it contains no
mercury or other m neral substances.
The proprietor and discoverer of this sov
ereign remedy challenges the ivorld to furnish
anything, from the days of Esculapius to
the present time, in the arcana of Medical
Science, which can vie with or excel, the in
trinsic properties of this Great Rlood Puri
fier. Its value has been tested with the hap
piest eiiect in the most obstinate cases of
Scrofula, that battled the skill ot the most
eminent physicians in the world. No matter
what form the dreadful disease cf Scrofula
and King" s Foil may have assumed, it can in
no way be more safely and certainly arrested
in its progress than !y using Henley s Great
Rlood Ruriiier. Thousands have been swept
into the gr ave, who, had they made a timely
use of the Fountain of Life, might now be
enjoying the blessings of health. It requires
an article of real merit, and intrinsic value,
to sustain itself. During the stern ordeal of
public experiment the Fountain of Life has
stood the test trial, and not been found
wanting.
DR. IIENLEV iruarante's to cure anv case
of Scrofula or King's Evil in the world, and
eradicate the disease entirely from the system
or no charge made provided they will secure
nim ins pay when tne cure is made.
Fur Rt ft react: I would refer vou to L. L.
Peck of Portland, Mrs. Walter Moultt, and
numbers of others, as to what a mi raculous
effect it had in a stort time, in cases that had
banied the sk.i1! of physicians for vears.

TIIE PEOPLE'S FRIEND!
Perry Davis' Vegetable Pain Killer !
II on it erf al Can i of the. Rev. I. I. Braywn,
Missionary in lndui, who was stung by
a. Scorpion.
Extract from b'.s letter, published in the
i.aptist Missionary Magazine:
"For the first time since I have been in In
dia, I have been stung by a scorpion. I went
out this morning to my exercises, as usual,
at ear ly dawn, and having occasion to use
an old box, on taking of! the cover I put my
hand on a scorpion, which immediately re
sented the insult by thrusting its sting into
the p:Um of my hand. The instantaneous
and severe pain which darted through the
system is quite incredible; what an awfully
virulent pcison their sting must contain !
FLEW TO MY BOTTLE OF DAVIS' PAIN' KlLLER
and found it to be true to its name: after a
moment';; rslief, I saturated a small piece of
sponge, Lvouna it on my nana and went about
my exercises, lechng no more particular in
convenience. (.31
