lory, wlio has lately been down i

the Colmnosa and up the coa?t. !
gives some graphic descriptions of
' that magnificent-stretch of country
that lies to the north of this place.
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.

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. NEW TO-DAT
