Tajor Aiams l):ar Sin California
is moving on, and the Great Mussel
Slouch country with Han ford for its
center is furnishing its quota of the mo
tive power that . propels the great ma
chine. This famous Mussel Slough em
braces an area, of over two hundred
Square miles with Kings Iiivrr on the
north and west, Tulare Lake on the
south, lhe Plains on the east, and Han
ford for its great business center. There
Arc two other towns in this extent,
(irangoville four miles north west and
Lemore ten miles west of this place
All of this Mussel Slough country is di
vided up into farms of oe fourth sec
tions and many less than that. It has
only been settled about seven yeais, al
though a few persons resided here prior
to that time. The surface of the coun
try is nearly level, sloping just enough
to the south west and slightly undula
ting, with the marks of several ancient
water courses still remaining.
The soil is sand and loam xvith spots
of alkali, and requires a large amount
of water to keep it moist and is never
.muddy. This latter is an unknown prop
erty here, something that an ex-webfooc
-can appreciate especially if he came from
the vicinity of Kosburg. An abun
dance of water ean be had at an average
depth of eight feet from the surface.
The pirvolative ability of the soil is
remarkable, and when the water is
reached it i-s like coming to the surface
of a lake. It is said by the wise ones
to le a deposit from the mountains
cu-ised by Kings River the Kaweah and
other streams.
It being some fortyjitules from when
these streams leave the hills the depos
it is very line and productive and over
live hundred feet deep. The strata va
ry a little yet showing their common
origin.
The surface is meandered by numerous
ditches for irrigation leading frm these
stream.- all over the country, traversing
to a greater or less extent every quarter
section; with a little calculation you can
estimate the amount of must- 3 it has ta
ken -to accomplish all this, it has all been
done by the residents here. More anon.

When we were at Toledo on the 4th,
we met Mr. Vaughn with his young
-Jbabe which iio s&id he had stolen from
its mother. He told us lie intended to
send it to AValla Walla ; we asked
no questions. Its mother Mrs. Maggie
"Vaughn su.-picioning it was still in the
vicinity o? Win'ock or Toledo, started
;dowrthere the other day, and succeeded
in recovering her babe ; the little thing
was overjoyed when in his mother's arms
and tried to soy something she had
learned it " sic him, sic him." This
was meant for a dog belonging to Mrs.
Vaughn which Vaughn had spirited a --wav.
Mrs. Vaughn has started in for a
divorce! She is a tine woman, always
borne an irreproachable character, and
respected by all her acquaintance. She
is very amiable, kind-hearted, and for
giving, and possesses all the womanly
traits of character in an especial manner.
We rode up with our family the other
evening to R. S. Fuller-ton's. It was a
-business call, and our family remained
in the buggy, The track of the R R.
ihad greatly changed the look of things.
We were scarcely in the 'house ffive niin
ntes before Mr. Fullerton with his char--acteristic
hospitality passed out a fine
lot of refreshments, berries, cream and
suar just as the best class of people in
-Missouri always do. Delle's organ i: of
ihe same make as our daughter Blanche's
Mr. " Fullerton has raised himself alone
as line a family as ever was raised in
Columbia County. He has been father
and mother both, for his children, and
they show themselves worthy of his kind
care.
The county road is much changed by
the Railroad.
Glcndye advises them down at Kulavn-
to start a paper. He-says inve.t $G00,
and make 63000. The Muckles started
him in, and somebody has made about
th ree thousand dollars out of pecket. i
That is the way with most papers. It
requires brains as well as 000. Auy
Xool can start a .paper, but it takes a
smart man to make it Win. We should !
call Glendye's advice a fool', fur he nev
r made anything win. 0 lie can't make
a living with an office all fitted up; iir.,t
he had to tend a " oiler," and now ho
nan wj .r- a. jcv. a, leafti, rus sign says t
so. j
j Mis. Utdkiii met with quite a severe
accident on Wednesday. She rode in
i to town with Mr. John Alexander.
Wlien near J ude Moore's residence, she
attempted to alight and caught her dress
and was violently thrown to theground,
and received a severe cut in the head
which reached to the skull. Though bad
ly stunned her womanly nature cropped
out enough for her to pin up her dress
which had been torn in the fall. In a
semi-unconscioue state she walked down
to G. Y. McIJride's store, where Miss
Dr. Annie Merrill and lyron Caples
tut oil the hair around the contusion
and washed it and did all they could to
alleviate lier distress till Dr. Stewart ar
rived and dressed the wound. ! Mr.
lflakesley took her to her residence on
Milton Creek in his buggy.
There was quite a disturbance in the
j Sabbath School on the Day two weeks
j ago. It was about the publication of
the Sabbath School report. Mr. W. II.
Copeland, the Secretary had sent it to
the Columbian and the Deegles wanted
it in the mist. Public opinion -seems to
be all in favor of Mr. Copeland as far
as we have learned. He offered to leave
j it to the vote of the school which paper
it f-hould be published in. To this we
j understand the Deegles would not ac
cede. Ihe mist we think has very tew
subscribers in that vicinity. We are
happy to state the affair has blown over,
j and the Sa'jbath school is still running
in good shape. j
Weformed the acquaintance of Mr.
Hartformcrly of Jefferson City, Mis
souri, the other day through the intro
duction of young Mr. Devis. We were
struck with his appearance when we
saw him, and wished an acquaintance.
We were pleased with his conversation,
and found him a whole-souled gentle
man. He is a cousin of Genl. Joseph
Lane.and shows he is of excellent stock, j Mr s A ues has returned from
Young Bevis appeared very fiiendly to j East of the Mountains. He bought a
us. He likes Major Adams, and no j line tract of aud m.ar Umatilla Land

the best families iw Columbia County.
JimmyWalsh, who is keeping a sa
loon at the corner of D. and 9th. Streets
Portland, is recuperating his health at
Mr. Freeman's on "tho Scappoose. ! We
and the Strachans were boating lumber

with twoof the young Free mans, and
fixed up a mechanical contrivance by
which he lightened our labors j very
much. He has our thanks. Recollect

that gallant old engineer, Fitzgerald who
was with Lieut. Lampson in his heroic
river fights in the far South duriegthe
Rebellion. Mr. Fitzgerald repeated a j
history of one of the mof.t gallant -ex-
ploits of the War in verse of his own
composing.
S. A. Miles and son Willie helped us
unpack and set up our organ, for which
they have many thanks. Mr. Miles is
one of the most neighborly of men, and
when he is a friend , to a man, he shows
it in a manly way, in deeds as well as
in words. i
