tion when they speak of Alice Lin

girl, something wliich she does not
wear. She is not like the

of our childish conundrum . The pop
ular every-day garment she leaves in
her dressing-room. That is why she
continues to look like Juno, even
when she is swathed in satin draperies,
for they cling, and there are no bil
lows of starched domestic muslin to
intercept the clinging. Her first
dress, a white one, is trimmed with
gauze embroidered in Australian bugs
or beetles, as you like. All actresses,
who go to the south seas import the
Australian bug, and a handsome fel
low ho is with his bright-green back
impaled upon white gauze. Of the
other costumes the most impressive
was a batin, all of vivid red, which
she wears in the Venetian scene. It
is red even to her finger-tips, for she
wears long red mils. S. F. Argonaut,

Notes from the Willapa. '
Yi:ks Vkmrik. Y. l. Oct. l."i. lfl. I
1 V -
'-""' mjkia :
i previot.s letters to Thk A.tokian,
si.-l7vc confined ccl"slb' u
I t,,e "PI"5' Waia, but I do not wish
to be understood as assertiii" that this
section is the only one worthy of tho
immigrant's attention. The valley of
the Nasalle is said to be unexcelled
for timber, and good agricultural hind
when cleared. The tide lands of the
lower Willapa furnish an abundance
of very nutritions gras3, and ha- for
stock raising and dairy purposes.
North river valley, also, contains a
few quarter sections of very good
farming land, but the almost utter
impossibility of getting into, or out of,
this valle' will probably deter immi
grants from settling that section for
many years to come.
There is, no doubt, some good tim
ber on that river also, but the river
being unnavigable renders .sawmilling
an impracticability. The lime will
doubtless come, however, when this
beautiful region will be settled by an
industrious people, and small mills
erected to supply the local demand
for lumber. But, in the meantime, I
believe the upper Willapa offers extra
ordinary inducements to settlers, com
bining as it does the richest fanning
lands, with vast forest, of fir and
spruce sufficient to supply the excel
lent mills at South Rend for genera
tions to come.
There are now six settlers in this
region, where one year ago there was
but one, and two years ago none at all.
A good wagon road traverses tho en
tire length of the valley; a school dis
trict has also been organized, and one
term of school has already been held.
The people are hospitable and charge
nothing for showing immigrants the
best locations.
There are several other matters to
bo considered by those seeking homes.
Pacific county is out of debt with a
surplus in the treasury, and as a con
sequence the rate of taxation is com
paratively low. Partisan politics is
almost entirely unknown, the people
voting for whomsoever they consider
the best man for the place, thus giving
us, at all times, an honest and" efficient
set of officers.
There are now two steamers plying
upon the Willapa river and Shoal water
bay, with the almost absolute certainty
of a canal being constructed between
the head of the bay and Unity in the
near future, thus placing the most
desirable Astoria market within easy
reach. In this connection I would
like to ask, is there such a thing as an
immigration society in Oregon or
Washington Territory? It will be re
membered that in tho year 1S73,
occurred the great Europeaum imi
gration to the United States and in
'74 and '7o the.tide of immigration set
toward the Pacific until California was
filled to overflowing. These scenes
are now doubtles to bo reenacted, as
the foreign immigration of the current
year far exceeds even that of 1873,
and in a year or two the living stream
will again be pouring into the Pacific
states and teiritories with n resistible
force. Oregon and Washington can,
by proper effort, absorb the greater
part of this most desirable influx.
The Astokian is doing its whole
duty in this matter; are other papers
doing the same! N or should this mat
ter be wholly left to tho press; let
even man advertise his particular
section in every manner possible, be
ing careful to state the whole truth,
and not overdo the matter entirely, us
has been done in the case of North
river and some other sections, as this
only results in injury to any section
however good. Let immigration so
cieties be formed, statistical and other
information furnished, and show the
world that the great Northwest cannot
be surpassed in agricultural, mineral,
grazing and lumbering resouiees.
What we want is plenty of settlers;
capital will soon follow.
The upper Willapa can hardly be
excelled for lumbering facilities;
thousands of acres of the very
finest fir and spruce, stand within
easy hauling distance of the river,
which is peculiarly adapted to driving
purposes; in fact, there are several
creeks tributary to the Willapa of
sufficient size to drive logs, with fir
forests growing to the very banks in
many places, while in other places the
firtile bottom lands stretch away for
one and two miles in width.
One logging camp has already been
in successful operation for two years,
and athers are talked of for the com
ing season; while the South Bend
mills furnish a ready cash market for
all the logs that can be cut.
Stock raisers will find a ready mar
ket for their cattle, either at Astoria
or Puget Sound, this country being
about equi-distant between the two.
The distance to the Columbia, as the
I crow flies, is about twenty nule3, and
it is said, navigable waters tributary
to the Columbia can bo reached in '
twelve miles, so that it is safe to pre
dict that in a few short years this will
be our shortest route to market. I
have seen mention in a recent mini-J
ber.ofTHKAsTOKiAxof the fact that j
a railroad was contemplated between
Olympia and Hwaco. I suppo.se, of
course, the directors of this mad read j
Thi: Astokian, and 1 would like io
suggest to them that a natural pass
exists between the Chehalis river and
the Willapa. and that, a railroad be
tween those two points via this pass
would pas through the Boisfort
prairie, cross the Chehalis at Mor-'
mon's prairie, and traverse the entire'
length of the WilLipa valley. Nearly
the whole distance would be through
a rich tanning country not now enjoy
ing railro.id facilities, and the entire j
route lined with the lin.-t timber in
the world. A word to the wise, etc.'
As 1 may at some future time re
sume this subject, I shall say no inoic
at present, but would like to xiy a few
words in regard to North river, in a
previous communication I charged
that letters had appealed in several
different newspapers, giving a highly
coloied and overdrawn description of
North river valley, which letters, in
my 'opinion, had a tendency to injuie
not only North river, but the whole
of Pacific county, inasmuch as many
persons after being drawn hither by
reading the letters above, rcfeiied In
found the actual facts so enlitely differ
ent from what they had been' led to
expect, that they could not be induced
to look farther, but left as soon :i
possible and gave the whole country a
bad name abroad. I did this with no
intention of'opening a newspaper con
troversy, or of injuring Xorthfjriver
valley, but merely -as a warning to im
migrants, and to rebuke a man whose
veracity was in nowise able to cope
with hi3 imagination, and who, how
ever good his intentions, was doing
more to injure Pacific coiiniy than he
was to build it up.
The information upon which I base
Ibis charge I leceiwd from good, re
liable men, old residents of Pacific
county, and who are perfectly familiar
with North river, and also from stran
gers, victims of the aforesaid letters,
who had come long distances to see
this famous valley; some of them with
steam sawmills running riot in their
busy brains. In the Orvguiuaii of
September 4th, I noticed a communi
cation from Isaac Smith, and signed
by the entire population of North
River valley, "without regard to i ace,
color," etc., in which he charges me
w'th being a slandeier and a falsifier;
first, because 1 stated thai North river
valley was not a paradis-j; second, bt
cause I stated that the river was not
navigable; and third. becaue I said
the valley was walled in by hills. In
regard to the fii.t statement, 1 am in
clined te think, on mature reflection,
that I may pof-sibly have been mis
taken, as North river valley certainly
possesses one very striking character
istic of parailise; it is exceedingly hard
to get into. In regard to the navi
gability of the river, a gentleman who
has followed logging in Pacific couuty
for many years, informed me that he
logged on North river when he had to
wait for full-moon tides, to raft his
logs, in the mouth of June. I am
also informed, on good authority, that
that "elegant steamer" ran aground
one mile below Smiths houae. his
hiiu.se being two and one-half miles
from the mouth of the river; he stales
that the river is navigable from its
mouth to within one-half mile of the
falls, but neglects lo stale that the en
tire distance aggregates to the aston
ishing number of hat o." ui.r-Iialf
w(hV.y. A fiue place for the milling
business, truly!
In regard to the third cumI, if
North river valley is not walled in by
hills,it presents an anomaly in the way
of valleys.
As I said before, I do not j hoik. so
to be drawn into a profitless newspa
per controvery, and in ouler to r.cttlc
the matter once for all, I will make
this proposition to Mr. Smith: If yni
will iepubli ih your letter to the ( rogon
ian, under date Match 20, KS3I. and
procure for it the endorsement .f the
snrvoyor ami his assistants now, or
recently, in your valley, I will make
the atneade huaimihle so far ar likes in
my power; but until you do this you
must not expect "You Bet' to take
any further notice of you.
