From the Oregon and California Emigran,s

SIRs: We left Fort Hall or the shaving
shop, on the 9th of August. 1t is the
worst place for the cmigrants that we have
seen,--they are almost destitute of on.
esty or human feelings. From Fort Hall
to the crossing of Fort Neff River is 9
miles, good ford, good grass and a good
road for 10 miles. Fifteen miles further.
brings you to the American Falls on Snake
or Lewis Fork of the Columbia. This
fall Of water is about so feet in 10 or Is
rods; above the falls the river is so or 60
rods wide, with strong current. From
this place to Raft River is 25 miles-the
road from Fort Hall to Raft river is had,
except the first 10 miles, it being hiIlv,
rocky and sandy-the water is good, but
grass is scarce. At Raft river, grass is
plenty. Here the Oregon and California
roads separ ate, and we are glad to learn
that only about go or 10 wagons, out of
$50, except the Mormons, are taking the
road to California. The Mormons stop
at the great Salt Lake.
Aug. l3th.-We travelled up Raft river
l6 miles, the road, water and grass, good,
but entirely destitute of timber, EXCEPT
little willow on the streams, and the wild
sage.
Aug. 14.-Travelled from this creek
across point of high ground, to branch
OF the same, 10 miles; road. water and
grass good, our course s. S. w.
Aug. l5.-Our course south some Of
our road billy and rocky, high hills Is

hills, but good water and grass.
Aug. l6.--Bad road Is miles brought
Us to Goose Creek our course s w.,
good grass and water, here we had the
most rugged days travelling that we have
met with. Goose Creek is small sire IN
with rich coat of grass on its banks.
Aug. l7.-Up Goose Creek, 25 miles.
This had better be made in DAYS, the
last 10 miles the road is bad you have
to make four long days drive after leav-
ing Goose creek.
Aug. ls.-Our course south. west ls
miles amongst the hills brought US to
valley Of water and grass. Ten miles
from Goose creek, is good spring of wa.

good fruit, such as Service Berries, two
kinds of excellent goose berries, three
kinds OF currants, the red, yellow and
black, all large and well favored. The
days are warm but we have frosty nights.
No timber except little cedar and wild
sage. Since leaving the South Pass, 1t
has been one entire volcanic region, all
burnt to cinder. The rock and stone
look like cinders from furnace. We
have not had any rain for two months
worth noticing.
Aug. 19.-To-day, travelled II miles

valley; good road and good water and
