Colfax, W. T.. )
J)i. 21, 1877. J
This county Is bounded as follows:
On tlio cast liy Idaho, on tho south by
Snulcu river, on tlio west by tlio Colum
bia, on tho north by Slovens county.
It is wo.l VvMlortuI, with lino hunch grits-i
hill-), with it II i id growth of timber uloii?
tho rivers ntitl crook bottoms, nnd tho
finest lot of farming land of any conn
t I i thoTorrllory. There nro thous
ands of n)ood lioines yet (o bo taken in
Whitman county. 1 flaw an cstimato
that there wcro at least ten thott-sitnd
;ood homos that can jot bo taken in
tills county. I do not think tlio esti
mate loo high, for I havo traveled over
a great deal of this county myself and
know whereof I speak; and I will say
that thoro U also a strip of country
along tho lino between this county and
Idaho Territory that Is excellent for
farming, and thon thoro Is n portion
of Stevens county, that is beautiful
farming lands. T.iko thoso counties
togothor, I doubt not that thoy can and
will raiso more grain than tlio entire
Wlliauietto vailoy. Now, this may
sound big to your readers at first, but
wlioti a mtn sooi tho country for him-
solf and learns about tho production,
thon ho will cotno to tho satin conclu
sion tliut I havo. What wo want lo
transportation, and wo must and will
havu it. There is no use of 6iiying that
wo will always be tied up by tlio Snako
rivor as an out-lot, fur sucli is impossible-
If Congress will only grant tlio N.
I'. II. It. Co., and extend tho time and
put a limit upon their land grant; thoy
will do just as tho wilt of tho people
wants them to do. It is to tho advant
age of tlio N. 1'. 11. It. Co., to bo limited
to two dollars and lll'ty cents per acre,
and to sell their lauds to actual settlers,
for where thero aro plenty of farmers
railroads pay best.
If tho N. i. It. II. Co., will only say
to tho world that tho road will be built
within ilvo years, from this country to
Astoria or Portland, then will this
country till up with a class of men that
will surprise (he world in tlio way of
producing grain.
Thu winter has been lino so far, stock

that 1 can got a good niui.y now sub
