Announcement is made of the rapid completion of a Pictorial work compris ing the lives of tho Presidential Candi dates on the Republican ticket, written by the veteran author, Mr. J. W. Bad, and published by N. D. Thompson fc Co. St. Louis, Mo., and New York. This work is sold through agents exclusively. It is designed, not only to serve the popular taste and want in giving, ex haustively, tho fact "i in the boyhood aud manhood of the Candidates their pri vate Lives and I'ublic Services but to have a more enduring interest than the ordinary Campaign book. To this end the publishers have engaged on the work a corps of skilled designers and engia vers to elegantly and profusely illustrate the scenes and incidents in the lives of these eminent m?n, now so prominently before the people. Personal anecdotes and reminiscences will constitute a lead ing and certainly a most entertaining and instructive feature of this fine work. Mr. Buel has marked ability, and en joys especial distinction as a Biographi cal writer. While exhaustive in recital oiucis, his powers of analysis, and his keen insight in'o tho philosophy cf events and measures, giva' him special prominence among American writers of personal history. It is not too rnnch to say that he is better prepared for the work in hand than any other American author. Accredited by our government in his tour and residence in Russia and Siberia, his great work on Nihilism and Exile Life in Siberia gave him a stand ing in the lushest literary and ojlclal circles in thi.s country as a writer at at once conscientious, forcible ami pic turesque. Thi3 lias given him unsur passed facilities for procuring all the material for the' work now in hand. As a book of facinaung interest, beauty and profusenes of illustration, and of com prehensiveness of act, it will commend itself to every voter. To the liook agent this rare combina tion.of authentic history, pictorial illus tration and bridianb authorship, will at once suggest the universal demand it will create, and also the advantages in interest it has over the ordinary Cam paign hook, and the grand opportunity it offers far pofitable agency.

Gray's Harbor to Cape Flattery As you leave the mouth of Gray's Harbor, going north, you find a beauti ful sea beach, us smooth as a good side walk, and so hard that a heavy laden wagon w'i'.l scarcely mark the sand. There are no rocks between the outlet of Gray's Harbor and the Queet's river, a distance of sixty miles, except two small points ; and the steady roll of the sea beats heavily on the sand. About 12 miles up the coast you. cross the small stream Chipali3: the next is the Quine ault. The Indian reservation takes most of the good laud on this stream. The Queets is quite a large stream, and con siderable prairie land lies near ils banks. From the mouth of this stream it is about fifteen miles to another, though smaller stream, called the Ho ; and iif teen miles father north, the Quillehute river carries its flood of clear, iey water to the ocean. Still 25 miles north the Ozet river makes its appearance ; anoth er ten miles north, the Suez river with its red waters slowly flows into the sea. Five miles north rf Suez river Care Flattery juts boldly out into the broad Pacific, and Straits of Fuca are viewed. Neah Bay Indian reservation lies just inside the cape. Tho Indians all along the coast are fr'endly. But for a couple of small, rocky points a team and wagon could be driven from Gray's . Harbor to the mouth of Quect's river. The beach is smooth and pretty, and lined with beautiful sea shells and agates. North of the Queet's river the coast grows rough .'.nd forbidding, the hih hills and square walls of rock, over 300 feet high, standd efying the raging billows. Nu merous little creeks constantly flow over the side of these precipices, presenting a grand sight to the traveler ; so it is all the way from Queet's river to Cape Flat lery. Nothing but an Indian trail for a road leads through beautiful evergreen forests, crossing pretty little creeks, past picturesque waterfalls, fott&whig some deep ravine, cr w inding along by the side of the cool silver waters of a lake in the mountains. On i he beach i3 a great deal of drift wood, some of which has been carried many miles by the. tide. It. is very rare to find anything but scrubby spruce growing on the sea shorn ; but a few few hundred yards baek large hemlock and spru.ee grow. Still farther from the beach red fir stands in almost inexhausti ble bodies, while the low land has a heavy growth of cedar timber. Balsam fir is scattered over the hil's and far back we have some white pine. The mineral resources are inexhaustible. Gold has been taken from some of th-; prominent streams ; copper abounds. It is a great ceal region, and Mr. L M. Ford, of Quillehute, has taken out sme fine specimens. Iron ore is found. Lime stone is plentiful. Sandstone that is ea-sily worked can bo cut in any shape, is found. Good agricultural land scattered along the whole distance from Gray's Harbor to Cape Flattery. Gats, wheat, barley and buckwheat yield enor mous cr&ps. Corn does not grow to a success, though some seasons I have seen it as fine as I ever did in the states. Vegetables cannot be excelled any place in the world. " With the cxc ptioi of peaches aud grapes,fru it docs well. Wild fruit grows in abundance. Stock does exceedingly well throughout the year about 2000 worth of cattle were driven from Quillehute to Puget Sound markets in 18S2 j same in 18S3, and will proba bly exceed these figures this season. Sheep to the number of a 100D hea I are owned by two or three men. Game is plentiful and elk and tleer can be found any place in open timber. Fowls, from the snipe to tho wild goose and proud American eagle, abound, while the for ests are filled with music by the numer ous little songbirds- Wolves are scarce ; but panthers, cougars, wild cats, black bear, martin and coon are numerous. Up near the snow line in the hills the bald-faced cinnamon bear proclaims him self king of the mountains. We want good, enterprising men to settle and open up this wild country an! make use of its natural wealth. The outlet of this vast body of land, which lies west of the Olympic mountain?, and is 140- niils long by 30 to 53 wide, ' will be Gray's Harbor and Neah Bay. There is room for several hundred prosperous happy homes. Besides the timber and mineral land, there are hundreds of acres of prai ries: and bottom land that is cosily cleared.

Mr. DiUarct was to depart on Monday over the N. P. R. R to visit his okl home at Scotts ville, Albemarle Cotinty, Virginia. Tlx chickens were all cooked just to a dot and everything prepared by Mrs. Mile: and her daughters" wa-f -just as good as good could be, and reminded us of old styb Virginia cooking. No wonder for Mrs. Miles' father is a Virginian. Our self and family were invited guests, ant at no place does hospitality appear more genuine than at S. A Miles'. A boun tiful repast made still more agreeable b;r pleasant conversation gives wings t time. Besides these is music to increasj the enjoyment, for the Miles family al have a" musical talent, and S. A. Miles can play on an ordinary leaf better thaji any boy or man can play on a jewsharp1. Just before we left for home we took .the younjr ladies of the family with our self end daughter out for a ride to J. U " i Benham's, whose grouuds and premises were glowing with all the abundant ptos pect of a ' bountiful fruitage. We dare say Mr. Dillard, as well as ourselves, will long remember this farewell banquet as one of the most pleasant events of his life Mr. Dillard will be absent for ia month or two. He has made many warm friends during his residence here, and established a successful practice, and is noted for his couitesy and good humor. He is the possessor of a what we would call, genial stoicisa which makes him a universal favorite. .Mr. S. A. Miles garden is very beau tiful to behold, and will be still more beautiful to cat, especially to a hungry man. Mr. Konkle has done good vork on the roads. It is a wonder to me that Frogmore canyon is always neglected; also the swamp next town. A load of sawdust has helped tho road a little on he top of the pitch a you go down the hill. Mr. S. A. Miles did well for the county when hp . was read supervisor. He nailed on all the transient men, aud we had good improvements the county has been enjoying for years, and yet they never thank kirn for his energy and forethought. From the amount of preparation it is thought' that the Upper Scappoose cele bration will be the finest ever known in. this county. There will be young ladies to repr s nt all the States of the Union. The programme wil be a choice ojie, and above all the fetid11 will be magnificent, the ladies there can compress mere go id cooking to the square yard in ''grub" than any set of ladies living. Major Aduus will delrer a short oration, and, as he is a live inan, Kcc2 things mov ing Last Sunday Mr. Joseph Copeland and family went over the river to at tend the funend of Miss Delia Copeland daughter of his brother Jame?. She was a most amiable and agreeable young la dy, beloved by a.11 who knew ler. She has had bad health for some time, and now Death lias, taken her away from the happy circle of her home, and tLe em braces of kind friends who will never feel reconciled to her departure from their luidst Mrs. Giltnesr. ad daughter ltave lv.ft, to visit friends in Wisconsin. She will ba very much missed by her friend--'. Probably the change will improve her health. All hope she will have a pleas ant, safe and happy visit and return with much health and strength. We met Mr. Malcolm McKay, one of the old pioneers in St. Helen. He is the same lively man as ever. He thinks for l.ini3elft and says he reads the Bible more than any other book, and yet the mora he reads the more ho is at sea in his belief. Tho Russian-Finn woman stopping at Mr. Otta Godk in's lately gave birth to a fine daughter. Dr. Stewart was on hand to we'eome the young stranger in a strange land. The mother cannot speak a word of English but was well cared for. The swa.np back of Honesty Hill is losing its brush at the mandate of the fiend Fire, and its cleared off surface will make the approach to St. Helen from the country much more agreeable. It will not look so wild and lonesome, Mr. Moses SMngley, a brother-in-law of Mr. William Beaver was lately robbed of $900. He ud put chased a farm on Eagle Creek, Clackamas County. The thief stole the money from a chamber in the house. A letter was lo3t and found in St. Helen last week which was very interes ting to sonielxsdy, and occasioned con siderable gossip. Periianjj tle whole af fair was a fraud gotten up to create u sensation. There is at Mr. Miller, an old soldier, who served in the 28th Iowa regiment. He is a very pleAsant appearing man. , The house of Mr. Laws, who has charge c Mr. Joseph Copeland's Hani, bletonian stallion, can be plainly seen from this side, sitting a? jt upe on a high ridge, near Shulert's Landin . There are many fine gardens in town, Mrs. Meeker's, Mr. Jacob Geoege's, Mr. Richard Cox's, Captain Lemonts, and Mr. Dana J. Sweitzer's. Wc also think Dr. Stewart has a garden, j Wo went up last Sabbath to Bayview. We were to late for preaching, but at tended the Sabbath school which was very interesting. Revs. Crosier and Webber were present. j" We have received calls this week from Mr. S. A. Miles and son Francis, Mr. XV.' B. Dillard, Mr. Otto Goelkin, Mr. J. T. McNultyi and Mrs. Met F. Hazen and children Oregon seems to play the role of tin lily of the valley this year, neither to toil or spin but to array herself ia glori ous craps, beating Solomon in all his magnificence. Our year is almost up, and we wish those owing us would forward back dues as ve arc in need of the money. This is No. 48, four more weeks ends this year. The fruit-trees of Mr. T. C. Watt3 are full of fruit; Mr. Miles has a little peach tree he thought would die last winter so full of peaches he had to prop it up. There is a preparation cf wheat called " Germ Middlings" manufactured at Eu gene City, which is said to be superior to oat meal or cracked wheatfor mush. Mri Amos Slavens says her your; esr. children are quite sick and her own health poor, but that she never saw a more boumiful year than this, A Mr. Holmes living at Kalama wishes to buy a snall fann in the vicin ity of St. Helen. He thinks some of purchasing the Emerson plnce. S. A. Miles has presented his son Francis, a 200 horse ; Francis eleserfces it, for he is very attentive to business and a reat help to his father. Portland has gone crazy, over the cir cus. This is the biggest of the kind she has ever seer. Villard is "nowhar" alongside of a live "lion." ' Mr. Otto Godkiu has a fine garden, ;o also has Mr. J. T. McNulty. Mrs. M. presented us with some big onious and beets of mammoth size. THE WORLD OF AGRICULTURE The Agricultural World, one of the best, if not the best, farm papers of its class, is making a great success of the plan iuaugurafd by its editor a few years ago. This plan is nothing less than the giving of exhaustive articles by the lest writers 09 agriculture, in all the countries of the world. The articles from the different States and Territories of our own country are particularly enter taining and instructive. Judge Par rish's articles on " The Farmer's relation to Law" are alone worth the pvi-ie of the paper. Judge Parrish, who is one of the ablest Judges and lecturers in the West, will soon Lpave for the South, with the view of supplying the paper with a series of articles on the agricultu ral features of tha. section. Thtsjour ual also has a fine household department which makes it particularly attractive to lady readers.
