GBOWTH AND DEVELOPMENT.
In tlio Spring of 1802 tlio writer of this
made a journey from Tlio Dalles to Snako
river, when tho settlement of tlio upper
country had hardly commenced when the
rich valleys all along tho south side of the
river wcro only sparsely settled, anJ the
llocksd an herds had scarcely commenced to
griuo ujon tho thousand hills nnd reaching
plains and uplands that diversify the Kastcrn
region. At that timo tho Willamette Valley
was Oregon, and even tho shores of l'ugct
Sound had no such agricultural community as
they have now, hut had Just commenced tho
development of what will yet ho n very pro
ductive region.
At that time tho richest bottoms on tho
streams nearest tho Columbia, almost exclu
sively on tho south side, wcro claimed, but
settlement in Eastern Oregon was scarce, and
only the Walla Walla region of Kastcrn
Wntiiington had any importance. Tho val
toys of (Iran 1c Hondo and Powder rivers re
ceived a largo settlement soon after, but tho
futiiio of tho wido region of Kastcrn Oregon
nnd Washington caused littls expectation of
greatness. It was bcliuvod that the Western
valloya would constitute for all time the most
valuablo portion of tho North Pacific. Almost
ojghttn years have passed nnd have ohowncon
stnut doclopminit and improvement. Tho
Willamette Valley has equaled tho expectn-
tions then formed and its products swell tho
cjinmcreo that sails tion every ocean. Its
towns nnd villages havo kept laco with dc
vlopmcnt the era of railroads has comoi

there arc prosperous mills and growing facto
ries, and population has poured in from
abroad to add to prosperous enterprise. The
tamo is True of tho Umpqua and ltogno IUver
valleys, but while they have realised all our
oxidations, the growth of other part of the
Pucifio Northwest has far exceeded all antici
pations, and our views of the coming great
mu of Oregon and Washington have tfi
pindwl as the vast agricultural resources of all
portion of these States are understood and
appreciated.
Tho Uocks and herds a long' timo roamed
the valluya and uplands of tee Kast until they
commenced to jostle each other, but now
they are crowded to ono side by the claims of
actual settlers, who locato their homesteads,
'pre-emptions or soldier's warrant on tho
lands so long considered only useful a bunch
grass pastures. I" W sections of Ea'.tern
Oregon and Washington actual settlement
claims the soil, and actual cultivation shows
such harvest a no other region equals, and
thu constant discovery Is that the half has
uot been told us of the area fit for cultivation
and the fertility of the soil(JOn tho upland
are homes, orchard, garden 'Mil field, and
wherever bunch gras grow, 'grain grows
even better. Wo aro neglected by immigra

no ability to monopolire the lands that wait

We havo said little of Southern and Middle

THE FARMER TO irS READERS.
Wo have occasiou to return thanks to mauy
of our old subscribers for their promptness
In meeting our proposition fur squaring nil
accounts to Nov, I, '7l and renewing fur the
year to como at 8'-. The appreciation in
which tho r'AltMi:u is held through tho
whole North Pacific region is shown by tho
good words that accompany te-tnittanccs
from all parts of this State aud Washington
Territory, and oven from llritish Colum
bia. Nut only so, but subcribers in the Kist
em States scud to renew nnd kindly expitsn
tho fact that tho paper Is welcomed to their
families and that they with ft to continue.
During thu last few week we havo added
hundred of now names tu our list -mere
than enough to comiiciuate formally whuse
names aro stricken oil, because they scum to
bo perpetual uoii-paycrs, and all who chouse
to diseontiuue. It la frequently theense that
ome who hnyu been old subscriber fancy
themselves ill ubed because we send notice
that thoy cau pay up to date aud renew at a
lowsr tlguro. They think they aro dunn-d,
sometimes, while tho fact is wo give them tlio
opportunity to renew at an advantage. Sonio
people consider it au insult to bo told that
they are in arrears to a newspaper from two
to four years. There are all sorts of pcoplo
in the world, and some aro a littlo too sen
aitive) but wo are pleased to tee that the
majority accept our lower term and appre
ciate our liberality. We are makiug new
friend rapidly, but we feel a personal regard
for those' who have bceu our friends and pa
Irons for years back that make it a pleasuro
to see their name oontinuo upon the list.
NOVEMBER,
With tliis Issuo wo close the I'all season,
and November rake tho d -ad leave together
and turns the barreu bough over to chill De
cember. Thi month lias mostly been favor
ablo to fanning operations, and the sowing of
Fall wheat exceed the similar operations of
any former year. The Oregon farmer had
a severe lcuon in tho lot of hi last Spring
crops, and ho has lost no time thi Fall to
plow and sow not only hi Summer-fallow,
but to plow a great deal of stubble and sow
that also to Fall wheat. It U also true that
mucJi laud Is plowed and roady for sowiug a
soon as the Winter breaks.
There never was an Oregon oeason more fa
vorable thau thi Fall has been for farming
operation. Karly rains put the soil in good
condition for plowing, aud our cople went to
work with energy to mako tho most of the
opportunity. If the revival of butiuess shall
prevail all over tho w orld, as seem probable,
we may look for good price another year for
breadstuff and a ,ood market abroad for all
that America can have to spare, Tho seed
sown this Fall promises rarely, and the No
vember outlook is such that our people can
enjoy Thanksgiving for the promises of the
future as well as the rcsulu ot the past.
THE EFFECT OP PUBLIC IMPROVE
WENT. The people of tho Northwest region are to
have the benefit, for many years to como, of
the construction of great public works; rail
roads will bo built to all parts on our own
productive regions, ax well as to give us ecu
ucctiuu with the Kaitera States. It is prob
able that over four hundred miles of road will
be built aud put in operation beforu the close
of IS SO. The construction of other roads
must follow- tho government operations at
the Cascades and Dalles will place large
amounts of mouey in circulation for years to
come, aud much of tJio expenditure for all
these enterprises will go into circulation to
create business for merchant, labor for work
lug men aud make a market for producers,
besides which the very fact that such enter
prises aro in progress will draw tens of thou
sands hither to occupy the region to bo de
veloped. It is a fart that we begin to under
stand that Oregon and Washington most and
can support dense populations, and though
when we first lauded iu Portland tho census
of 1S50 showed less than 7,000 people in what
was then Oregon, but now includes Idaho
.and Washington, it is probable that the child
newborn will live to soe two millions, or
twice taat many. This day of great enter
prise is the dawn of our future-, aud will pro
duce greater results than we have ever known
bafore.

Editor Willamctto Farmer i
Snecnry Is often caused by a sprain of tho
muscles which fill up tho posterior cavity on
the outer side of the shoulder blade. It occur
often in young hones when first put to tho
plow, in going on uneven ground or stopping
into furrow or holes, which result in a sprain
of the muscle which forms tho outer support
ot tliohorso. Tho horse may walk, or oven
trot without any apparent lameness, hut
itanding directly in front ot him, tho should
crs nre ccn to roll outward from tho body to
a far greater extent than tho sound ono. Scon
tho shoulder begins to wastci wasting of tho
shoulder muscles is a common rciult ot nil
lameness iu the fore limbs owing to disuse:
in thu nbrence of tho peculiar gait above
described, the tioubto is sciiiiwhcro in tho
foot or leg.
