Adjourned. tOHHEM'OSDKSt E. CoifAX, W. T., March 11, 1877, .Id bTATESMA.N : I arrived safely at this place yesterday afternoon. The particulars aud incidents of the journey from Waitsburg to Col fax, and the condition of the latter place as I find it after a ten months' absence areas foi lows : Since leaving Waitsburg (at which place I wrote you at not very great length) we have had quite a snowy timo. On Friday morning Mr. Ewart and myself boarded Kinnear Bros.' stage during a heavy snow storm and started for Colfax, leaving Waitsburg and the friends there in prospect of a sleignride, there being at the time about two inches of the beautiful stuff on the ground. As we neared Snake Biver snow disappeared, leav ing the roads in excellent condition. We made good time from thence to the l'ena. wana ferry, where we arrived at dusk. At mis iinpuiiiui point on Bnaseiiiver my Colfax friend, Miss Bello Bcnshaw, is teaching sciiool with good success. After stoppiug over night with our friend Ki- zer, the affable Postmaster and hotel keeper o Penawawa, wc started for Colfax, then 23 miles away. Though it was extremely cold and we went the whole distance iu a severe snow atorni, we enjoyed ourselves exceedingly. I noticed that umUrellas and over coats came in good play from the time we left Walla Walla. The condition of Colfax is far in advance of what it was when I left. The acquisitions noticeable ate the follow i-jg: One lawyer, one minister, one blacksmith, ene boe shop, two dwellings, sidewalks, bridge, and minor improvement. Several marriages on the tapis. The three schools that have been supported by Colfax and vicinity during tbe late educa tional season, have closed. Stock here looks well. But little snow has fallen, and tbe weather generally has been exceedingly mild. There will no doubt be a largo immigration to this country during the next six months. We can only say como on, there is still plenty of rosm. Hereafter travelers can come by stage direct from Walla Walla, te this place, a distance of 85 miles. An effort Is being made to establish a daily mail between Waitsburg and Colfax, which, if the plaa is successful, will add greatly to our comfort. The Colfax brass band lias temporarily sus pended. Our mill company is now in the logging huii nes. That is right; logs before lumber. More news next time. aiouri, WA!.teb J. Davenvoki. ANOTIIKK M'R.P F HISTORY.
