Tbis country is direetly tributary to Astoria, and is fast being placed in swift and frequent communica tion with us. lie says, speaking of Bwaco : "It is charmingly situated on the north shore of Baker's bay, with a fine southern exposure, almost perfectly sheltered from ail harsh and disagreeable -winds by thick ""forests of spruce, with an excellent reputation for healthfulness, and remarkable evenness of tempera ture. Though the annual deposit! -of moisture exceeds seventy-five inches, the rainfall during the months of July, August and Sep tember, comprising the season of itR occupation as a summer resort, seldom interferes with its thorough . enjoyment as such. Already the campers arc arriving, and they will scarcely find a more desirable place to pitch their tents. The soil is a light sandy loam, quickly absorb ing moisture, never muddy, and covered with giovos of spruce just dense enough to atVoid agreeable and healthful shade. There are many places of interest within easy walking distance: the United States garrison of Fort Canby occupying a delightful situation inashelteied cove two miles eastward, .lust beyond, upon the summit of a rocky promontory, the fort, its guns commanding the. entrance to the magnificent Celumbia: and a little further on, the Cape 1 lancock lighthouse, from which point, if the day be clear, the visitor will obtain an ocean and inland view of exceed ing grandeur. A good road leads through a forest of sptucc to Sea view, two miles: and from thence along a splendid beach for eighteen miles to Oyslerville on Shoalwatcr bay, and another seven miles to its southern shore. " ' Further on is Long Beach, about five miles fromthc cape, and the . beginning of .the Shoalwatcr bay peninsula, a narrow strip of beach, upland meadow and tide land, vary ing from one to two miles in width, with-an average elevation of about twelve feet above high water, and extending twenty miles north to the entrance of the hay. Six men own and occupy the first ten miles. Mr. Tinker, 320 acres; John Briscoe and Captain Estabrook, "pioneers or 1853, the. former S00 and the latter .1,000 acres; and then L. A. Loomis and E. G. Loomis, over a thousand more, having a fi outage of three miles on the ocean, and embracing one of the choicest por tions of the peiiiusula. Their res- , idence and farm buildings occupy a very pleasant divide, gentry sloping both ocean and bay-ward and covered with a fine growth of Scotch pine. These lands are de- , voted chiefly to dairying and stock- raising, for which they arc well - adapted. The butter made here is of excellent quality, the cows -- grazing throughout the year, being seldom fed except for a short period duringan occasional severe winter. Mr. BJ. G. Loomis, the oldest set tler now residing in Pacific county, having located at llwaco thirty jwo years ago, informs me that weir wool-clip averages four and a half pounds to the fierce, and that twelve pounds had been taken from one sheep this year. Though the. soil is sandy, and light, it pro duces good eiops of potatoes and other vegetables, oats ana hay. Ten miles of travel from Loomis'. eight along the. beach as level as a house gfibivatid two miles through burnt 'spruce bottoms, and Oyicrville appears, the principal town and cbuhty seat of Pacific county. lSttleHn 1851-3 and 4 bv Frank GwiMOa, Clark, Captain Estabrook Efpey?

Rodney, and store by Mr. Junes. Of Shoalwatcr bay he says: Tin's body of wattr. most appir- priately named, embraces at hih tide a surface area estimr.til at eighty squre miles, aboit on half of which is laid bare at low tide. The entrance is five and a half miles wide from Leadbetter point on the south, to Lewis or Tohe point on the north. Theie aie. two channels;, the north and south, with a large shoal called the mid dle sands, lying between them. The bar at the North channel is about a mile in extent, and has three and a quarter fathoms al low water; at the south channel the bar is about a mile in width, with four fathoms of water upon it. Good channels are found throughout the bay, hut pilots are necessary to follow them. An arm stretches -southward for font teen or fifteen miles toward Maker's bay, with an average width of about thrcf and a half miles. There are three islands in the bay, known as I .ong, Pine and Round islands the former the largest, being some six miles long and one ami a half miles wide. The shoals are covered with shell-fish, and salmon, codfish, halibut, sturgeon and herring abound. It isajrjvat resort for wild geese, swan, mal lard and canvas-back duck, and other water fowl. The Willopah, Pulu.v, Xesal, Xecomanche and North rivers, arc the most import ant streams (lowing into it. There is a considerable quantity of un occupied government lands, adapt ed to dairying and fanning, lying along tho latter, now attract ing settlers. Tin: male inhabitants of New South "Wales aie in a condition which calls for the sympathies of their civiliacd brethren on this side of the equator. They complain that they cannot, get married on account of :in impossibility to pro cure wives. According to a report that the' have recently issued, there are 79,000 women needed in that antipodean country to equalize matters. Mormon missionaries are not wanted. Reports from every part of California are to the effect that this year's grain crop will be fully up to last season's figures. 5Tis thought 59,000,000 bushels will be har vested.
