CHEHALIS RIVtt COUHTRY, W. T. tti. Faiimkii: J hco n great deal in your paper about the 1'nlotiso country, and think something from the Cliclialiy country would bo of Inloroat to your many readers. As to tho will of tlio Chehaliy and Its trlbutnrlca, it can't bo Ixmten In any part of tho country. Wo can raise from thirty to forty bushels of wheat por aero on an avcrago. There has been tw much as 100 bushels raised to tho acre, but not common. Oatn grow from GO to 70 bushels per aero on nvorago. Potatoes do splendid here; they grow from four to eight hundred bushels per acre, and of tho finest kind. Timothy, clover, raf.top and all kinds of grass do well haVS Means and peas do well, corn dqys 9nly tolerable, but this Is no corn country, but wo are sec ond to nono for all kinds of vegetables and small grain. -As to timber, on tho high land It Is Mostly fir and cedar, which Is very thick on tho hills where tho flro has not been. As to tho bottom lands, tho river bottom is generally covered with (' thick growth of vino maple, with sorn'b ah and big leaf ma pie, with a profiy good growth of bnlm of Qilead of very fine quality, which will bo very valuablo some day. Tho creek bottoms aro not so thickly cover ed with brush as tho river bottom, tho brush Htunding up straight in most places. Tho creek on which I lmvo settled is very easy clearing; wo cut tho brush down when tho leaves come In tho spring, then wo let it lio until J my or August, wiion wo set nro to it and burn oil" all tho brush; then wo throw up tho chunks in piles and burn them; and then it is ready to sow tho wheat and harrow It in, and thou It is wo got tho biggest crops. Wo have plenty ot good water in nil parts of tho country; nearly every forty acres has a spring branch on it. Tho Clmlinlls river is navigable from IIh mouth to tho .N. I. railro.td, and wo need homo en terprising men to put a boat on tho riv er; r think one would do a good busl ih'sh. Ill thu fall tlio river Is full of salmon or a lino minlity. Mr. Jliiinu cuiiuiy ot Liuu, ttio road will hardly lo completed lotlio lattor placo before stops will bo taken to continuo It to hor limit. Nor can tho proporly-lioldors and moneyed men of Salom bo disinterested spectators whllo cIlbrtH aro being mado to ralso tho means to construct this road, so necessary to tho wel fare of tho peoplo of this section of Stale. When it Is considered that by way of Ya qiilnaBay tho travel from Han Francisco to Portland Is sbortonod uioro than 48 hours, anil tbntall tho freight and travel nfono half of Marlon, all of Linn, Lane, Ronton, Folk and DoujjIbh, to and from Watt KrHnolco,VIH pans over this rond when built, it ennnot be doubted that stock in tills enterprise will command a bleb premium. When it is completed tbo travel into our State will be I greatly Increased, tho towns on tlio lino of tho road will all rocolvo tholr quota of pas sengers, and Salem bolng tho capital, will recelvo moro than any of thorn. What wo horegay aro facts, not speculations, which all can comprehond oaslly, and we hope will operate to influence our moneyed men of this city to aid In this work. If some prom inent man would make a move to this efleet wo bavo every confidence that material aid would bo rendered. If those having author ity would send an agent hero, ho would not go awsy empty-handed. Set at Liberty.

New proof having recently been discovered, tho Mctzger heirs have petitioned the French, .Swiss, anil American covernincnts to assist them in recur- ing the rigliti of branches of tlio same family living under their protection. Withsiinplo ami compound interest, it is estimated that thu estate in question equals in uluethe whole umount of coined gold in the world. San IVancisco Chronicie.
