Whiti Bluffs,. 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

damage done by the bih water of this year
will, we think, fur exceed that of 13G-;and
