We take the following from the Goldendale Gazette of November 9th. We are under obli gations to Governor Newell for some Import ant corrections In the same : Exfcctive Chambers, Qlympia, Nov. 1832 Editor Ga7ettk. Dear Sir: I have ap propriated my first leisure hour since the re ceiptof your polito requist to write to you, for publication, a stitementof my impressions concerning Klickitat county, to o mplj briefly with the suggestion. My general im pression was very diffeient, after seeing what I beheld iu going to, and returning from, an 1 whilst 1 was present at your fair, from that which I had previously entertained. In com mon with other people I knew that the val ley of tho Klickitat was fertile and produc tive, but I did not know thai so large a por tion of your county, outside of the valley, although not so de-irahle as to surface, being moro hilly and mountainous, was (rjually well adapted to the production of ordinary farm crops, and is in some resp-cts superior, es pecially iu raining fruits and vegetables upon the southern exposures of tho hills, a charac teristic that gives to France, Italy, Sicily and iwit7trlauil their chief advantage in sucii productions. Of tho four thousand siUan miles which jour c .uuty continue, not oui fourth is incapable of highly profitable culti vadon, if my enquiries were proper!) answered. Your valley and niountilii lands are similar to t os of tlio Walla Walla and I'almiso, and aio in no respect inferior to tho o famed rigions. No one who has traveled thlough both can fall to resell such couclu sioim. Your county has greit advantiges in proximity to Portland and the towns indciti s of thu Sound for the disposal of crop, and in tho gran 1 river frontage of one hundred and twenty-five miles on one of the largo rivers of the world. Manv of your hills and much of your valleys aro baneu for want only of plow ing and Becding; the soil is deep every while, so far as my observation extended, a vaitiug tho intelligent quickening farmers' aid. There is no disp sition to wash and gulley as exists in mountain regions generally, but at tho ex treme summit, al ug tho sides and in the ravines thero seemed to be about the same degree of fe'tility and verdure. Hero and there a will-conditioned ranch, with suitable residences, outbuildings and fences, tlirifr orchaids, handsome, woll proportioned fields of grass anil yearly grain stubble and ari d livestock, poultiyaud boes, gio ample as surance of tho capabilities of Klickit it county. If any further verification my etunato !s reduircd it may bo found in your annual fair, which was lemaikahlu foi thu variety, extent and exeellui co of its exhibitions; wheat of many kinds, oits of large and heavy growth, arley and Indian corn well grown and ptr- lectly matured, gave evidence of griin-pro-duciug capacity, all of which, I was informed, grew equally well and with usual luxuriance over the entire county. Vegetibles were nf fine size, symmetry aud flavor. Potatoes. which, next to bread, seem necessary for the suste .auce of mankind, were of enormous growth, so also were the sugar aud table beets, turnip', carrots, cabbages, cellery, pumpkins, squashes, beans, peas aud espe ci illy onions gi own from the seed, were re mark iblo for size and weight. The display of Iruits was extraordinary good, many varieties of the choicest apples, from the White Crab to tho Gloria Mundi, smooth, free from im perfections, by insect stings or otherwise, lieautifully proportioned ud shaded with vaiiud hues, made a more attractive exhibi tiou. IVars, especially the Bartlett, were p rfect in shape, color, thinness of skin, fra grant, spicy, juicy and crisp; they could not be excelled. I never Baw grapes grown out side of a hot-house more perfect iu appearance and flavor, huge bunches of tho Muscat, the rasin grapes, tho Black Hamburg and other most beautiful and, to me, rare crapes adorned the tables and were conceded to be unsurpassable. Fruits having smooth skin and pits there, as everywhere else in Wash ington, were fair to behold and largo and lus cious to tho taste. Cherries, prunes, plums, apricots and nectarines were preservid iu alcohol, the season being too far advanced for tho Iruit. Dried prunes were perfectly cured, fleshy and moist, with a proper admixture of saccharine and acid snbstauces; they seemed equd to any of foreign growth and premuta tion, and command at San Francisco an ad vanced prico ov er all others. Good peaches, watermelons and iiiuskineloiis, completed this di-play. Upon a single table, embracing all thu kinds enumerated were fruits grown upon a Hillside, without hot-bed, glass or irngition, by one exhibitor, from laud which, three) ears ago had never been broken up or planted. A sufficiency of live stock was present to do nioustrate, at least, the practicability of rais ing successfully all domestic animals and poultry required for the use of mankind in this ngion, Norman blooded aud stoek hoi sea, Alderuey, llolstein and other families of cattle, Southdown and Cotswold sheep naving mil ana uue fleeces, swine, lierskshire, Maee and Poland, of unuaually good appe tr ance aud condition, gave great interest to the exhibition. A small representation of choice butter, cheese and honey gave earnest of the succces to be achieved in these most essential departments of Industry. I was especially pleaaed to observe some well made carriages and farm wagons and agricultural implements which were manufactured entirely at Golden, dale, and were in no respect inferior to any which were seen in the Territory. I regret that I had do opportunity to visit the two large Souring mill, at your town, but having viaminid the fl .ur aud partaken of the bread, aud furthermore havtug ground many a grist, heu a boy at my father's null, am prepared to promise that you can raise wheat and nun ufaeture flour which will not be surpassed by the beat produces else here. I noticed at the foot hills and at other placer an abursiant growth of fir timber, and learned that eight mile to tha north was an extei sive saw-raill, the wooden building ma'erial used at The. imr some of the gluten changes its form to al Dalles. Fire wood, within convenient dis- bumen, and thus improves its bread making tance, is croid, abundant and cheap. Along quality, so that the baker considers flour a the Columbia, within your borders, much ot m nth old better tban that fresn ground, the fuel used by the steamers is launched j this substance is nit strictly limited to this upon flumes, supplied by the mountain layer of the grain, but is fiund bith in the streams, and rushed down with incredible ' brn, and distributed through the starch. velocity, a distance of ten or twelve miles, falling upon scows at the river shore, co that all of )our timber can be utilized. Tho recnt discovery of limestone is a most important event for your prosperity; the sample barrel which I examined was white, brittle, free from core, with a ringing sound. When it is con si Icrcd that at this time lime c immands $5 a barrel at The Dalles, and that v our supply promises tebe inexhaustable, its value will bo readily utiderstool anil appreciated. Much of your future prosperity will come frem the proximity of the Columbia which waters ) our southern bjnler for more than one hundred miles. As the Hudson, the Delaware, the Ohio, the Missouri and the Mississippi bear nlatic n to the greatness of tho lands which they traverse, so will the Columbia bring w.alth to you and all others who enjoy its shores, in the advantages which attach to its navigation and in valuable salmon fisheries. Ih railioad ulncli is no v being built along h north side of the river will run through our entire leng h and with the branches mil improvements of lauds will inevitably cany northwird throujh your valley, t'le timcoo and Yikimi regions, the buncoo aid Yakima regions, will give ) our people caily mil lapid ac ss to thu markets already e t.blisheil at Portland and up.ii the Sound, aud to otoers yet to be foumled, to all of ev Ine.li )ou are more conveniently located til m any other prune ngion of Eastern Washing ton. Coal has been quite rcci ntly discovered in the adjoining county of Clarke, and I doubt not tli.it similar deposits are to be found iu Klitkilar, aud gold, silver and other precious metals are well known to bo enumerated with youi resources. The impression which has been cicated that tho late frosts of the spring and early frosts of autumn preclude the per fect growth of your grains, fruits and vegeta bles is by no means well founded. Frosts bite early at times in all temperate altitudes, and I wi 1 venture the assertion that no region of thu tame latitude 13 so free from this evil as is tlio entire t-nitory of Washington. High Minds and dust aro counted objections which may bo disagreeable, but the wiuds briugpure healthful condition of tho atmosphere and the dust scatters pulverized fertilizing material over the fields. Population has been diverted hum your county by this aud o her evils re ported by interested people who desire 1 the immigration to drift further eastward, and by others who wanted to monopolize tho natural pibturagu for their herds and bauds. Your journal and your contemporary, the Seivinel, are djing much to make known your re sources and advantages, which cannot any longer bo hidden from intelligent enquirers. You must conclude, upon my appreciation of your display at the exhibition and my detail of your multitudinous advantages, that my linpreision of Klickitat county is highly fa vorable fro 11 every standpoint of observation and conclusion. That portion of it which I saw, and much of which I h ard, is similar to the best portions of the Simcoe, the Yakima valley and the better known counties of Southeastern Washington, drained by the Walla Walla, the Suake, Palouse and Spokan rivers. My review would not be complote wuhout a reference to your people, who seemed conspicuous for the intelligence, en terprise and thrift which characterizes the en tire population of the Pacific Coast. The large attendance at the Sunday school concert of young men, which I had the pleasure to at tend and by courtesy to address, indicates a modem proclivity not usually found in new countries, and which is creditable to your cit izens. The absence ot licensed bars in your couutry save one in a comparatively isolated regi in is also a very favorable feature and indication of publio sentiment which will in duce many settlers to locate in your midst. My friend, Mr. Pike, who kindly conveyed ma to and from your village, pointed out to mo upon an eminence a settlement of colo nists from Finland, who, by their ii dustry ai.d frugality, were prospering greatly and educating others as to the value of high farm ing upon small tiacts of land. 1 win venture nnaiiy 10 suggest to your p ople the vv is lorn of preparing to raise fruits, to which your county is so well adapted, and of introducing cultivated grassis, alfalfa, inns kite and clover, upon the plains and lulls which are barren of vegetation by cxcessivo grazinir, aud also of raisin? rye, flax and hops, and using lime as a fertilizer of the soil. With especial acknowledgements ot your personal courtesy to me, as well as for my friend, Mr. Sichel, the energetic aud obliging secretary of your fair association, and my best wishes for the prosperity of tho people of Klickitat county, I am, Ysuri truly, V, A. Nkwill. "Within the uluten layer lies thu starch, constituting the mass of the kernel. The starch consists of minute granules about .002 of an inch in diameter. The muciel around which clustei these tiny granules some think are gluten. This is certainly true of oats. On the mingling nf the gluten with the starch depends the value of wheat for making bread. For besides tho protein, crude gluten con tains sugar, gum and solublo albumen. The decomposition of sugar in ferment ition pro duces carbonic acid, which becomes entangled in the tena cious gluten, expauds in the heat of baking, and renders the loaf light and spongy. "In the center of the kernel, wheu the out er layer turns into tho body and doubles around forming an inner heirt hliaped section lie tho phosphates of soda, lime and magnes a which are the bone and biain making ele ments of wheat. In the crease near the lar gest end of tho kernel lies the germ, which though rich in gluten, contains oily and dark matter that injures the color and quality of tho flour and should be removed. Over the germ is a thin scale like pellicle, duly re moved with tho thumb mil, reireali igjtho lit tle germ containing cell beneath. .".Tho germ, by slight pressure, may bo removed, leaving the cell, which, however, is oated with oily matter, which should also be kept out of the II ur. "At the other end of the kernel is a sort of tin brush appendage, formed of numerom fil aments of a slight salmon tine. Tnesa are useful to the seed in the ground as absorbents of moisture, bat in the flour impair both its color and flavor, and should also be elimina ted. This brush end and the crease, with the wrinkled surface of tho grain, are grand dust and dirt catchers, and a large amount of the michinery of our mo leru mills is for the sol purpose of jloansing tho grain from dirt, and fieeing it of the bran, germ, brush aud oily matter whUIi injures for capacity for making white, spougy, and nutritious bread."
