Important to Immigrants.
Last week, while xt Blalock's
station, a, Mountaineer reorter
took occasion to call on Mr. GriHin,
superintendent of the- celebrated
Blalock farm for the purpose of
ascertaining certain facts in rela
tion to Wasco county, and the in
ducements for immigrants to settle.
Mr. Griflin is an old settler, a man
as well posted as any in the coun
ty. Upon learning the object of
the interview, the gentleman gave
all the information In his power,
as he wished to encourage im
migration, and he knew of
O" - - - - j
no better locality to build up a
ionic than in Wasco county. The
Blalock farm consists of some
fortj thousand acres, and there is
a goodly portion fenced. Last
jear they put in a small piece of
doubtful laud to wheat, and the
result was most flattering. This
year they have five hundred acres
In wheat, and Mr. Griffin feels con
fident that he will show as good or
better wheat than is raised in the
Walla-walla country. It must be
borne in mind that this is all high
or table land. lYou see that
blulT there,"" said he, pointing to
an elevated plateau, "well that is
as good wheat producing soil as
you will find in the state. You
would hardly think so, but. it is.
There are thousands of acres of
splendid farming land yet to
be settled in this county. The
worst drawback, heretofore, has
been tne lack of means of trans
portation. Now the railroad is
through, and 1 wager that in less
than three yeai-s this land will
all be settled, and these stations
along the road, like Grant's, John
Day, the Des Chutes, and Bla
lock's where there is nothing but
a side track, will be prominent
grain shipping points. 1 often re
ceive letters from parties in the
east asking information regarding
this section, and the inducements
to come here and settle, and T en
courage them all to come, and as
quickly as possible. This country
is a good stock range, but the
time has come when some provis
ion must be made for feedi ug
stock' in the winter. Timothy and
alfalfa do splendid, and 1 would
not be surprised to see great ship
ments of hay from this section."
The gentleman stated that he is
going to erect a fine hotel at Bla
locks station immediately, and he
liad delayed only on account of
the non-arrival of his lumber. Be
sides this, the reporter learned
that the railroad company intended
erecting a fine depot and ware
bouse there. While waiting for
the train the reporter made the
acquaintance of Mr. Pierson, a
gentleman who has located a farm
to the east of the Blalock place,
and he fully substantiated Mr.
Griffins views in relation to the in
ducements for settlers to locate in
this county. He has experimented
to his entire satisfaction, and said
he would not exchange for a large
number of acres in the Walla--tralla
country. This gentleman,
like Mr. Griffin, heartily encour
ages immigration, and thinks there
is no more suitable location in the
state. Of late we have been in
receipt of numerous letters from
1ie east, asking for information in
regard to immigrating to Oregon,
particularly Wasco county. Wc
desire to give only the most au
thentic information on this subject,
hence our interview with Mr.
Griffin, a gentleman of well known
integrity, besides being thorough
ly posted in matters of this kind.
The Palouse Gazette has a letter
from Mr. J. L. Hallett, superinten--dent
of construction for the Ore
Railway and Navigation company
saying that they are working about
seven hundred and fifty Chinamen
and four hundred white men, and
expect to cross Snake river this
month. The advance force is now
within six miles of Grange city.
He says the ground is frozen but
-they are bound for Colfax this
xiriater.
Fall Salmon.
Certain salmon quoted in the
Mayors Message as having been
shipped by the Aberdeen Packing
company was not shipped, but
were put up by an individual
member of the coinpan-, at the
companys works at Ilwaco. Wc
gladly make the correctien:
