Jum 3d, 1886. ; Eowpit Modhtainmb : Yflnr paper toiog a strong advocate of the new route to Montana'; by way of this place, I thought a few lines re lating, to that subject would be interesting to your reders, and wunhy of publication. , , WHITS BLUFf! Is situated. on the east bank of the Columbia., fifty mUeswboveWallula, and derives its name ' from tht bluffs in its vicinity..." 'Previous to the dHcovtry of the BUckfoot and Big Bend rolnei It was a source of supplies for the mines on the upper Columbia, and was gene rally known to the traveling public as Whjte Bluff Kerry j but since the discovery of the above ntmed mining regions. it bas grown to importance la'tbeeyes of business men and capitalists na shipping point to the vast gol'd , regions of Montana, .and .will eventually bave st good-trade with the mines in the British ' possessions. The distance from ." ' .DALLES TO WUJTB DLDFFS Is HQ miles, and , can be easily rode in thfee ' diys. The trail is good, and hardy mountain. ers declare it is the boat they ever traveled-. There is plegty of. wood and water on. the road, the longest ride being fifteen milos with-J cut the latter., Mountain grass abounds on . the wb,ole route, nod good Uei can he bad at every camping ground. There 'are three streams to-crosi-heKUkitat, which is easily , . forded, not taking animals above the knees ;. Cetetas, somewhat swifter and deeper, and , Yakima, over which there is a ferry at Hall's. Several travelers have missed the direct trail, by taking one that leads to Priest's Rapids, thereby doing considerable unnecessary lrav ling. . Those who are not acquainted with the- trail, bad better follow.tho waon road, which canoot.be missed. This could bo im proved, with little trouble, and made a first Tate road, and the capitalists nf the Dalles ought to be interested eoougb in the matter .(lake -Isold of it. . . : tu8 rs rVonsiLLi. Rotfrs Is said to be a good road by those who have traveled it, and the distance'from here to tbo: , steamboat landing Is only 130 .miles, there being r!enty of wood and water at convenient distance,!, tbe longest stnetch without water bing from .the second crossing of Crab creek, eighteen miles, and a well is being dug in the Centre of tbe stretch, ruuking luo drive only tune rules to water. There lias boon conu.l. erabte work done on the road in iba.way.of improvements. rn,siQnTi.sa Uiii been lively here for tbe past two or three weeks. Wilbia that time about, twelve teums liave started for the Like, loaded with about 5,000 pouds each, together with three or four pack-trains, averaging twenty animals each, for Colville, Rock creek and the Lake. With all tbis freighting, theO. S. Company's ware house still remains crowded-to its utmost ex teat witb freights for Colville-ttrwl other points on tbe Columbia, tbe mines .in. tbe British Possessions, and tbo Lake. Tbe rates are five cents to the Lake., and from sis to eight i cats to Ujlville. 0T(IKU ROUTES . Are displaying a groat donl of enterprise in trying, to. get tbe Mori tun trade. Espe cially the WtU la Walla community are work ing hard to bare the. Montana trade go by way of the Mullan .Wagon Road to Pulouse Landing, on .Snake River, .which is at least . one hundred miles further from the Dalles than this pUce j and in tho spring tbo wagon road is imrasgable on account of tba bridges being wssliod away which are built ovor the Mountain gtreatus. Tue boat of tbo U. S. N t!i. can only, run up Snake River, during . l.igk water, while they can navigate tbi . ' river oil the year wept when navigation is finneded by Ice. " You Bet,'.' ft correspond cnt of tho Walla Walla Slataman, has been fighting this place for the Just mouth. Ho is known around these parts, and ills nec cssary to have his abuse to proipcr. His first trip for the season, two weeks ngo, was t at'mfoctory to his troubled mind, being well pleased with the route uiu naving a prcju dice.to anything thut pertains to this pjnee ' ho persuaded .Kane & KMog, of. UuiutilU i throw ont a sack of flour.some bacon ani n coil of rope, trot-lvo miles below here, so lo aire him a cbanco to uso his gating powers, which be did, giving out tho report ' hero that the above named linn had lef ten tons of freight at that point, with the object of buildln? a rival town. The site for n town is spleudid, but how to get out of there is a question vet to be solved. The best enter prise lor tunt nrm to go miu, is .i.vu.u rift-wood.. But we can bear up very well against all Buch opposition. FROM COLVILLE AND DIG HRND. A train of 143 animals, belonging to the Hudson Bay Company, arrived, here on last Thursday, nlbor days from ColtMllei They report great excitement at Colville, on ac count of the.Blg. Bend mines.; that tbe town had almost been deserted, and'flodtng it. too early to word lu tbe mines yet, one hundred bad returned. The miners seem encouraged,. although there -is-from. three to four feet of. snow around the Big Bend, which is disap pouring. rapidly. Bacon is scarce, and fioirr it bringing from $11 to $15 per cwt. at Col- ille. EMIGRATION, .j ' 1 A band of 1,200 sheep was ferried over the river at this point, this week; They Btarted this morning for Fort Okinagson..' They, are to supply the- Big Ilend country tbe coming season, SeveriU families are here- from, the Willamette, intending to take up ranches on Crab Creek, twelve miles out, and go into agriculture the coming summer; , UNKNOWN. Tub Victory. Tue election, which caused so much excitement during the past few weeds, -is araong.the "-dead issues," and. we are gla4 of it. Tbe returns are all in and show a. Democratic majority in this county of about forty (orthe Democratic State ticket arid about sixty fos the coiinty ticket, with tbe exception of Clerk, which-, will be about thirty. How the voles were obtained, and 'tbe. manner in which tbe election was worked how that the Democracy done everything known political Strategy to, win. Tbis " white man's party,." to show a little ot.their.. consistency, were not content with voting white men ; but Indians, greasers, and n fact, anything in the shape of' a man was voted' by this party that believes that this Government was made for white men. Cali fornia Indians who cannot read or understand the English language were taken to the polls and ..made swear in their votes. Men who howled from tbe stump during the canvass about negro .suffrage, took Indians up and voted them. Tbis is consistency. Tbisis tbe same party who believed a few days ago that only white men should exercise the right of suffrage. We hope the question of allowing Indians aud Creasers to vote will be taken up to tbe courts in order that it may be settled for future elections. It Is a source of annoy ance to both judges of election and to men who have not time to wait around tbe polls while these cases are being argued, in order tu&uuey may be able to vole Elnction Returns. By the boat from above it is rumored .that Umatilla county has gone Democratic by about 200 majority The Slate ticket is ejected in Polk county by 8 majority. The Union candidate for the Legislature is elected by one majority. In Jucksoa... county the Democratic ticket- is elected by about 130 majority Fay ran be hind his ticket 20. votes. .
