Being daily in receipt of letters asking for information regarding the adaptability for agricultural and grazing purposes of the lower Nehalem valley and vicinity, per mit me to answer, through your columns, all inquiries. The Ne halem river empties into the ocean about forty-five miles south of the mouth of the Columbia, and is one of the finest streams in Tillamook Count, Oregon. Being about 100 miles long, and the valleys are from one-half to four miles u width, composed of fine soil. For about ten miles from its mouth the tide lands pre dominate, and being very rich, produce from three to four tons of hay to the acre. This hay is not so nutritious as timothy and other species, yet the stock eat it with relish, and thrive splendidly there on. As you go up the river the bottoms are covered with salmon brush, vine maple, willows, alder, and other species of wood. These bottoms are Easily Kroush! fuller CiiUUntiuu. Being very rich and productive when properly cultivated. Pota toes, cabbage, beets, etc., thrive and attain to a good size, and corn, pumpkins and squashes do passably well. Wheat on the table lands does well, yielding from 35 to 50 bushels per acre: but grows too rank, and does not ripen in season on the bottoms. All cultivated grasses flourish on any of these lands, thereby making the country well adapted for dairy and stock raising purposes, which at present are the chief industries. The climate is temperate, never setting1 excessivelv hot in summer or cold in winter. The bottom lands are all covered with brush, but are easily eleared. Foley creek, a Beautiful, Sjiarltllnj Mrram, Runs through about six sections of the best quality of bottom lands, whicli alone would furnish homes for a small colony. This creek is a tributary of the south fork of the Nehalem, and is full of fine speckled trout and other varieties of the finny tribe. The upper end of the Foley creek bottom joins those of the Miami, a more ex tensive and equally rich section, having an outlet eight miles south of the Nehalem, in Tillamook bay. The hills are covered with spruce, hemlock, fir, larch and cedar, which timber Is of Superior Qunlllj-. It is confidently believed that a railroad will tap this country at an early day, for its coal and other commodities. Land is worth 1 25 per acre. Persons can take steam er from San Francisco to Astoria, thence via Clatsop plains, keeping the coast route to the mouth of the Nehalem, or leave the coast at Seaside, go over the mountains b a rude trail, striking the settle ments fourteen miles from the mouth of the river. From the Willamet valley the most practica ble route is via Quicks wagon road from McMinnville or North Yam hill to Tillamook. Sam. Cor win. Peruvian Bitters. Cinchona Rubra. The Count Cinchon was the bpanish Viceroy in Peru in 1U30. The Countess, his wife, was prostrated by an intermit tent fever, from which she was freed by the use of the native remedy, the Peru vian bark, or. as it Aas called in the language of the country, "Quinquina."' Grateful for her recovery, on her return to Europe in IKS, she introduced the remedy m Spain, where it was known under various names, until Linnsmis called it Cinchona, in honor of the ladv who had brought them that which was more precious than the gold of the Incas. To tins day. after a lapse of two hun dred and fifty years, science lias given us notlriug to take its place. It eilectu ally cures a morbid appetite for stimu lants, by restoring the natural tone of the stomach. It attacks excessive love of liquor as it does a fever, and destroys both alike. The powerful tonic virtue of the Cinchona is preserved in the Peruvian Bitters, which arc as ciTective against malarial fever to-dav as thev were in the days of the old Spanish Viceroys. We guarantee the ingredi ents of these bitters to be absolutely pure, and of the best known quality. A trial will satisfy you that this is the best bitter in the world. "The proof of the pudding is in the eating," and we willingly abide this test For sale by all druggists, grocers and liquor dealers. Order it Despondency is sometimes called "the blues," because the latter term de scribes at once the color and effects of impurcblood. Change ittorose-colored health" ."by using King of the Blood.

Jay Gould, who is in the city at tending: the annual meeting of the Northwestern railroad, says he has not given up his interests in the Union Pacific, and continued to take as lively an interest in the af fairs of that route as ever. With the Northern Pacific combination he had nothing tc do, and it was rather airainst the interests of the Union Pacific than otherwise. Before that combination was effect ed, the relations between the Union Pacific and Oregon Railway and Navigation company were of the most friendly nature. It was the intention of the Union Pacific to run its new extension north west from Ogden as fxr as Baker city, and there connect with the Oregon Railway "1 Navigation company line, but since the for mation of the Northern Pacific combination the Union Pacific changed its programme, and its Oregon branch will be pushed right ahead to Portland. This will make the Union Pacific a far bet ter, shorter and more available route to Oregon than the Northern Pacific in connection with the Ore gon Railway and Navigation com panys lines. As proof of his asser tion that he did not care to in crease his railroad interests in the east, Mr. Gould cited the fact that he had established the Mississippi barge lines. He had no idea, he said, of hurting Chicago when he established the Mississippi river j line. Jt was simply a winter route, providing the same cheap outlet bv water during the winter as the lakes afford during the summer. ' Hjs principal object in establish-J ing tfie barge lines was to stop the j clamor of the grangers for more comnctition, and thereby prevent! enormous and disastrous railroad legislation. As regards the com plications that have recently arisen between Vanderbildt and Wabash, he said he did' not think there would be much of a fight. "Western Washington Rivers. Puet-Sound Palter. The Lumrr.i rises in the Cascade range, northwest of mount Baker, flows south-west, receiving: the Nooksack from the south-west,! and empties into Bellingham bay. J Both streams arc lxrdered with excellent lands, and irold has been ! .. . . . ., A . v j found on the tributaries. Aext! . i . . . in the Cascades, and emptying into Belliugham bav. The tide lands at its mouth and on theSuinomish slough appropriated for cultivation are noted for their heavy produc tion of wheat, oats and barley. The Skagit rises in the Cascade range and empties by several mouths into port Susan. The Skagit valley is an extensive and rich agricultural section, and con siderable mining is carried on at its upper waters. The Stilaguani ish also empties into port Susan. The timber on its banks are very valuable. Coal is found twenty miles from its mouth. The chan nel with the drifts removed would be navigable for twenty- five miles. The Snohomish emp ties opposite the south end of Whidby island. Eighteen miles from its mouth it divides into the Skykomish and Snoqualmie. Tide flats permeated by several channels, stretch across its mouth, back of which are extensive cran berry marshes. The Snohomish and the Snoqualmie are navigable to within a few miles of Snoqual mie falls. On the Snohomish and both forks there is a large quantity of first class agricultural land. The Snoqualmie rises in the Cas cade range at an altitude of 3,000 feet, flows westerly twenty miles, when it makes a perpendicular descent of 270 feet, forming the celebrated Snoqualmie falls. At the lowest stage of the river the width of fall is ten yards; when the river is full, seventy-five yards. Beyond the falls are the famous Snoqualmie prairies. The Du warnish empties into Elliot bay, upon which the city of Seattle is located. Its main confluents are "White and Green rivers. Lake "Washington lies back of Seattle. Its outlet, four and one-half miles long, empties into the Duamish. After leaving the lake a half mile, Black river receives Cedar river, which rises in the Cascade range. An extensive agricultural area is afforded by the valleys of the Du amish and its tributaries, with an inland navigation of thirty miles. On Black river a vein of eoal was opened in 1S54; now the vi cinity is celebrated for extensive coai mining. The Puyallup rises north of mount Ranier, runs northwesterly, and empties into Commencement bay, on which is situated New Tacoma, the termi nus of the Northern Pacific rail road. The valley of the Puyallup and Sluch afford a largt: quantity of the best agricultural land. The former has become celebrated for the successful cultivation of the hop, and deposits of excellent coal; ' tobacco also cultivated with considerable success. Nis qually rises south of mount Ranier. n 1S33 the Hudson bay company at its mouth built fort Nisqually, the first prominent white settle ment on Puget-sound. On the banks were the stock farms, and upon the adjacent plains the sheep ranges of the Puget-sound agri cultural society. The Des Chutes empties into Budds inlet, at the extreme head of the sound. At its mouth is the thriving milling and manufacturing town of Turn- water notable for the water power. Vt this place, Col. M. L. Simmons made the first American settlement north of the Columbia. .The Skokomish empties into Hoods canal. Its two confluents rise in the coast Range and join ten miles from the mouth. The valley varies from one to three miles in .width, and is of the finest quality of bot- torn land. On both tides of Iloods canal there are other small rivers with similar valleys, though not so extensive. Aloncr the southern shore of the straits of Fuca, aro several streams heading ;n the coast range, the principal rivers aro the Dungeness and Elwha, with vallevs of excellent land. All the above described rivers are rapid, cold mountain streams abounding with trout. Their deltas are the resort of myriads of wild geese, ducks and other aquatic birds. Hints to Salmon Packers. Urucer, .tunc loth. ..- - - . - , ,. e are in receipt of letters i from London, hnirlniui, expressing1 i much satisfaction at the exposure j made through these columns, of j irregularities in the salmon trade. From this source we learn also that English buyers complain of the manner in which some of the most reliable brands of salmon are put up for their market. One writer says: Packers who think the reputa tation of their product securely established, do not appear to ap preciate the importance of uni formity in lnbelling. The English buyer regards the slightest devia tion in this particular as an im portant matter, and looks with disfavor on any changes whatever in style or color of labels, even such as ma be considered an im provement by the packer. A change in color of a label has been known to depreciate the price of salmon here three pence per dozen, and the change of style of labels has caused the importer a loss of twice that sum, even when the fish itself was in every way satisfactory, and in quality fully up to former ship ments. In many instances I find two pound labels have been trim med off and placed on one pound tins, so that the ends overlapped, partially covering either the direc tions or the design. The same writer says different styles of labels are found in the same invoices. These, which are unimportant matters for our home trade, with the precise and con servative merchants abrosft are regarded not only with disfavor, but with suspicion. Although the letters were not intended for pub lication, we give the salmon pack ers of the coast the benefit of these suggestions.
