The Nehalem Valley.
In tin: Orr.'i'tuii'.t of ve
sterdav
we
find tlie following letter :
Feu. 15. 1872.
Lately, tlie word "Nehalem" is fre
quent ly seen in your column. As it
has only recently come into notice,
many and vague ideas are suggested
by ii to tin- minds of many of your
readers. Now. having hail suN-rior
facilities for obtaining iiiformatinu. I
promise to give you a definition of the
word.
nkiialem
is tho name of a river of Oregon, which
ris near the headwaters of Gale's
dairy and Scappoose creeks, flows in
a winding but generally westerly
course, and empties into the. Paeitie
nearly forty miles south of the mouth
of tlie Columbia river.
THE VAI.I.EV
is like most river valleys in this State.
Tlwre is tlie "low bottom"' land, cov
ered with salmon berry buslies and
supjKirting a sjKirse growth of alder,
very easily cleared, very fertile!, mid
possessing he still further advantage
of iM-ing fertilized every year by tlie
sediment left by the river during its
winter freshet ; the branch land with
it growth of cedar and soft maple,
also good farming laud, and finally the
hills covered with a densi! growth of
cedar, fir and some spruce. In mo-t
paits of the valley claims may be
found containing wirtion of each of
these, and as springs are plenty on the
bill-sides, each settler may have the
coolest and purest water delivered di
rectly into his cabin. As the valley is
about one hundred miles Ions and
from two to fifteen wide, here are to I
Ik- found homes and f irms for many
settlers. The land is very rich, pro
ducing in ahuudance vegetables of
good quality and large size. The ce
llar is unusually fine, i have beard sev
eral lumberman assert that it was the
liest they ever had seen. In addition
to the lands already decri!icd. then
are ninny swales covered with coarse
grass and supporting, in some places,
a tine growth of ash.
SETTLEMENTS.
There are several settlements along
the river, the oldest of which is at anil
lielow the crossing of the military road
from Forest Grove to Astoria, several
claims being taken up in this vicinity.
There is a pack trail from here to As
toria, a distance of thirty-live miles.
This is generally known as the lower
or Walker's settlement. The upiwr
settlement is nhout ten or twelve miles
above this, anil six or eight miles from
the Columbia at a joint immetliately
lietween Oak Point and Wesfpnrt.
The valley is liere much wider than lie
low, and this, taken in connection with
the less distance to the Columbia,
makes it the more desirable place to
settle. There are soihe twenty-five
claims taken lip in this section,' and
the settlers seem to lie a determined,
energetic class. They have already
nearly completed a wagon road from
the center of the settlement to tlie
Columbia river, and at the last session
of the Columbia County Court, through
the kindness and with the help of
Sheriff Williams their road was incor
porated as a county road, anil they
were set aside as a precinct. The sur
vey of the
PORTLAND AND ASTORIA RAILROAD,
runs directly through the settlement.
and the settlers are very confident that
the road will be running in a year or
two. Ibis would place them in di
rect communication with both Port
laud antl Astoria, and. since they es
cape the June overflow, with those fa
cilities tor communication tlieir locali
ty would have many advantages over
the one on the Columbia.
This railroad becomes more a neces
sity each year, and each winter brings
more strongly upon us the desire to
nave it Diult. Should ft be bu t.
which without doubt it will be, and
that very soon, it must pass for nearly
forty miles through this beautiful and
fertile valley, destined to become lit
erally flic garden of Oregon
vniat more nattering prospects
could settlers wish? What greater
advantage can tney nnu?

A Satire on Woman Suffrage.
On Monday a committee of women,
Including Mrs. Stanton and Mrs. Gor
don the latter of this State sent a
memorial to tlie House of Represcnt-i-tives
at Washington, praying for per
mission to apjiear at tlie bar of tliat
body and present tlieir views on the
woman suffrage question. It required
a two-thirds vote to suspend the rules
for the purpose desired, and the vote
was 80 to 05, the woman suffragists
lacking nine of a majority. At the
same time this matter was liefore tlie
House at Washington, a municipal
election was progressing in Siilt Ijike
city, the main question at issue lieing
polygamy, or tlie choice of city officers
in favor of or opposed to that institu
tion. Our telegraphic news slated
that nil chance of defeating the lolyg
amists was lost by the enthusiasm of
Uic women and girls voting for the
lolygamons candidates. Woman suf
frage has been legalized, we believe, in
but two Territories Wyoming and
Utah. In Wyoming it has lost caste,
and as we have just seen, hi Utah it
lias lieen employed to bolster up and
continue one of the most unnatural
and disgusting iniquities that has ever
blotched our Anglo-Saxon civilization,
an importation from the lieastly des
potisms of Persia, Turkey and tlie far
East, logically dragging after it in the
days of it ri(eness or rottenness,
trains of eunuchs, spies and intrigu
antes such as made the courts of Sapor
and Justinian the abomination of his
tory. Will not tlie tallies first above
mentioned, who we believe are labor
ing in what they conscientiously 1h!
lieve to be a just cause, take warning
from the evidence which the sisters of
Utah have given oftlie ld practical
operation of tlieir theory? Is it not a
fact demonstrated by impartial history,
that wherever and whenever women
generally have laken upon themselves
in politns an equal part with men, the.
result has been evil and ruinous to the
State ? We shall lie fold of the mar
vellous wisdom of Elizabeth. But
that is the exception ; and. moreover,
it was not Elizibeth so much as her
pai liann-iits anil ministers who gov
erred Kngland ; ami for every Eliza
beth there is a score of Theodoras,
Cleopatras, Maintenons antl Monfes
pans. If we seek out those nations
and ivriods of history in which society
was Ix-st governed, we sliall find them
generally excluding the gentle sex
from their jxilitics ; while those which
have lieen most marked by intrigue,
fraud. Mood, cruelty and lnisgovern
ment, will lie found to he precisely
those in which women enjoyed the
mistaken elevation of jiolitical equali
ty. The Autonines ruled Koine them
selves tlieir wives taking little part in
public affairs. Theirs was the "golden
age"' of the human race till the United
States dimmed its luster. The
Claudiaus were ruled by their wives
anil motlicrs and theirs was an age of
the most blackened political fraud and
infamy. SitcramriUo i'nion.
An Important Enterprise. One
of the most important politico-commercial
projects of the age is the con
nection of t he Black and Caspian seas
by means of a ship canal. The con
st ruction of this canal which is intend
ed to admit vessels of the largest class,
will, it is said, be lieguu in the ensuing
Spring. When completed this enter
prise will open the Caspian sea to the
world. The length of the canal will
be three hundred and .seventy miles.
Six years will m required to finish it,
and the estimate of its cost is from
eighty to a hundred millions of dol
lars. During the reign of Peter the
Great of Russia, several plans were
contrived for the consummation ot tin:
work, but his death put a stop to their
execution. In 184S, also, u commis
sion was appointed to investigate the
probabilities of a successful termina
tion of the attempt. Should the pro
ject be accomplished it ill considera
bly inure to the advantage of l!u--ia.
xvlio will thus lie able to combine at
pleasure her Black Sea and Caspian
fleets. It is supposed that in prehis
toric times the plain of Mauitz, which
now divides the two seas, was the bed
of a branch connecting the two seas,
and that, by digging out a deep valley
line, which seems to indicate the old
channel course, a union lietween the
Caspian and Azof Seas would be ac
complished. If this could lie done
Russia would gain a very firm hold on
Central Asia, alitl she is willing to
make any eli'ort to consummate that.
A TotriiiMi Story. We know not
when we have perused a more touch
ing and beautiful little story than the
following from the ' m" C onrnut :
It was but yesterday that a friend
a young gentleman of line intellect, ol
a noble heart, and one well know n to
many of our readers, was snddeuly
suntched by the liand of death from ail
the endearments of life. Surrounded
by everything that could make ex
istence pleasant and happy a wife
tluit idolized him children that loved
him as they can only love, and friends
voted to him the summon came.
and he lay upon the bed ot death. But
a few years ago. she to whom he was
weddetl, plan-da bridal ring upon his
linger, Uon the inside of which he had
a few words privately engraven. 1 he
husband would never jK-rmit the giver
to read them, telling her that the day
would come when her wish should bo
gratified, and she should know the
secret. Seven years glided away, and
a day or two since, when conscious
that he must soon leave his wife for
ever, he called her to his bedside, and
with his dying accents told her that
the hour had at last come when she
should see the words upon the ring
he had given him. The young moth
er took it from his coltl linger, and.
though heart-stricken with grief; eager
read the words : "I loved thee on earth
I will meet thee in heaven."
1 1 Attn Work to Six. Henry Ward
Beeclier says : "There was a man in
the town where I was born who used
to steal all his firewood. He would
get up on cold nights and go and take
it from his neighliors' woodpiles. A
computation was made, and it was as
certained tliat he get hi fuel at great
er exjiense of time and labor than he
would have lieen obliged to if be liad
earned it in an honest way, and at
ordinarv wages. And this thief is a
type ot thousands of men wlio work a
great deal harder to please the devil
t ban iIm-v would have to work to please
God."
