Ono year ago at this time tho farmers wero all ready for the hnrvest, nnd somo of them were cutting down the ripened grain. Last year there was no abundant rnin from tho last of March until after tho hnrvest wns gathered, nnd the crops, such as they were, lipened earlier than ever beforo; while the present Benson has been, in every respect, u contrast with thnt of 1878. Tlie ruins were too abundant through tho Winter nnd early Spring, and havo continued until wo havo reason to fear much damage unless they ceaso long enougli to permit tlie harvest to bo gathered. Should they censo now, ns nil devoutly hope, the hnr vest will not commenco until August, and tho California crop will all bo gath ered beforo ours is commenced. Lnst week tho writer spent a few dnys in traveling through somo of tho richest lands und most productive fields to bo found in this vnlley. brom Port land to Salem tho lino of the railroad lies through nn uninteresting country n good pnrt of tho way, nnd traverses Hat lnnds of Trench pmirio that nro not tho most productive, but oven along this stretch evidences arc apparent thnt tho yield will generally ho good. Nenr WooJburn is a small field of small crain, sowed early last Tall, that has been thrown down by tho wind and storm, nnd at tlio upper end of tlio pmirio wo found another that was partinliy pros tmto; but previous to tlio lnst rain there was very little dnmngoof thnt kind done, ono renson being thnt, ns very littlo wheat wns sown enrly in tho Fall, tliero is littlo standing that has mndo n lnrgo growth, nnd so tliero is less danger of (liimngo from thnt cause. Taking n tenm ut .Salem wo drovo southward, through tho rich river bot tom, to tho Lcnbo ferry, on tho road to Independence, passing somo lino fnnrs and ns good grain ns enn bo found in Urrgon. Crossing tho river into Polk county wo found tlio prospect L'cncmlly excellent, except thnt somo fields were very foul with weeds. Tho French pink nlins tho many coloieil bachelor's button proves to bo n fearful pest, about the worst tho farmer has to con tend with, and whero it gets a securo hold tho harvest is ns disngreenblo ns it is unprofitable. Independence is one of tho liveliest nnd happiest of interior towns, all be cause tho railroad will soon givo it nil tlio transportation facilities it needs. Tho ronds abound with teams hauling bridge timbers nud mnterinl for con struction; aiong tno road shone tlio white camps of construction parties ; farmer, merchants and mechanics arc feeling tho benefit of tlie money tho railroad company is tottering every week, ino town is thrivini; was thriving beforo tlio railroad building commenced, and since that incentive is added to its national advantages Inde pendence is making rapid improvement nnd will bo one of tho most prosperous country towns in tho State, backed, ns it is, by ono of tho lit' est fat mini; re gions to bo found, besides which it will have tho river, as well as the railroad, to back up its trade. Passing up tho river rond we found a magnificent country, inhabited by good fnrmens w-hoso fields lay in undulations thnt shewed n lovely lamlscnpo nud dis played tho various sowings of crain of varied hues. Towards Uuenn Vista the river bends enstwnrd nnd wo catch glimpses of bottom lnnds that wnvo ns tho sen breezo bonds tlio growing wheat. An occnsionnl spot of riper grain, thnt is turning yellow, fensts tho eye, but tlio wido extent of crowing ernin looks tho next dny, thnt it had been thrown down by tho storm. As wo cannot sparo space to tell of nil tho fino fields wo saw, nnd kind treatment wo experienced, it would seem invidious to particularize, but we received kind hospitality from many. Turning west wo crossed the lower edgo of 1 teuton county, on tho south sido of tho Luckinmuto and then turned north ngitin, skirting tho mountains ns we passed through Louisville, and by mnny beautiful farms. Tlio region is a, succession of individunl vulleys separated by oak ridges. Stopping nt houses by tho way sido wo received tho universal nssuranco that crop prospects tiro excel lent. All the peoplo wo met wero deeply interested in the intended display of agricultural products, proposed by tho railroad company, and will do nil they can to advance it. It issafo to say thnt unless somo calamity ruins tho harvest, wo can inako tho finest display of cereals over seen on this continent. Driving lato wo reached the friendly roof of 1). 31. Guthrje, threo miles north of Dallas, whero wo icecived tlio most hospitable treatment, nnd nil night wo heard tho Summer rnin palter on "tho roof. It rained tlio next day, but be tween showers wo mado tho journey buck to Salem, though unablo to tako notes by tho wny.

Uno tnrmer showed us oats sowed the Gtli of June, thnt is now up six in cites high and may yield a fair crop un der tho circumstances. Everywhere wo found tho farmers hopeful, with greater promise ot yield that has been known for ten years past, nnd with n wide stretch of laud under cultivation. Crossing an oak ridge, thnt will somo dny make fino farming land, wo camo into another beautiful valley that lies eloso to Ituejia Vista.

Tho town of lJucna Vista elerives iu chief impor tance from tho jiottery establishment of A. M. .smith, it lias no general store, and tho so-called hotel could not sparo a room for a traveller. It lookeel dubious if wo had not to go to tho country for a lodging place, but finally, "ns the shades of night wero falling fast," we became tho guests of Mr. Smith, of the jiottery, and enjoyed the social and physical comforts of n very delightful home. Tlio railroad goes two miles west of Uuenn Vista, but it cannot hurt tho town much, nnd tho extensivo pot tery works will thrive on tho enterprise and good management they evidently possess. We continued southward, crossing the Luckiamuto nnd entering the classic pre cincts of Soap creek, whero a livo jieoplo make excellent farms. Wo nooned with Hon.

Surveylnu the Route A party of surveyors nro now at work ou tho south sido of the Columbia from Snake river to Portland. A letter written by ono of tho party under dnto of 29th, sny "Tho country ovcry whero is of n sandy description, generally of u very sandy soil, but frequently ncac tho river, and occasionally in spots in land it is pure sand, drifting with every breeze.
