Messrs. Editors Il am not in the habit
Of writing paragraphs for newspapers, bpl
having recently returned from short visit
to the Columbia river, and having had occa-
sion TO call on Mr.. II. Huntington, a far
mer at the mouth Of the Cowlitz river, and
having been invited by that hospitable gen.
tleman 10 walk with him through his fields
which are so beautifully filled with the most
luxurient growth of vegetables that have
ever had the pleasure of seeing and for the
purpose Of letting the people in the states
know something about the productions Of
onr soil and climate, have taken the lrou-
bic to write this paragraph, which the peo-
pic in the states and elsewhere can rely vPon
as trulhfully correct in every particular,
Mr.. II. exhibited 10 me the product from
one hill of potatoes, that weighed fiIly-three
and half lbs, and that Of another, that
weighed forty and three fourth lbs. Mr.. H.
has also grown hundred of busheles of tur-
nlps of the most monstrous propOrtions.-
We did not weigh any Of them, but on an
average with large proportion of them,
half bushel will not contain more than tiro,
and many are too large even for that. His
cabbage is the largest that l have ever seen
for so large a field together, aud for quan-
tity Of choice vegetable seeds, SO scarce in
this part Of northern Oregon, ] hereby ae-
knowledge my Indebtedness TO the kind lady
Of Mr.. H. Turnips that grow to large
size throughout the different states in which
have resided, are usually pithy, and un-

Road up the Oowlitz River.

We take the greatest pleasure in giving

Mr.. F. A. CLARK, Cowlitz landing that
subscription papers are in circulation for

in the name of the citizens of Thurston, we

road of that description is particularly i'm
porIant TO government, for the convenient
withdrawal and forwarding Of troops and
stores to military stations here; for the in
ternal peace and tranquility Of our country
Tor the safety and protection Of the settle
ments which will soon be made on the va
kima, and as 4 th3rourhiare for the people
of the Pacific coast generally. An arpro-
priation Of a few thousand dollars, authori-
zed 10 be expended for that purpose early
in the summer, before thearri'a of the
next immigration, would prove Of more es-
senlial service to northern Oregon than all
other legislative acts combined, that could
possibly be passed for her benefit, and ad
vance her in wealth and numerical impor-
tance in single year, more than five years
could accomplish by accessions within our
present almost imprisoned, yet beautiful and
inviting country. Northern Oregon expects
that the legislature will ask the serious con-
sideraiion of congress 10 these matters.
But the foregoing is not all that the peo-
pic of northern Oregon have a right 10 ex-
pect from the legislative assembly; there
are many matters of domestic character
seriously requiring prompt and decisive leg
islation by the people of the territory gen.
orally, and over which the legislature poss-
esses competent and exclusive jurisdiction
The wants of our people require the csiab-
lishment of several new counties north Of
the Columbia river-the convenience of the
people having business in courts of justice,
as we'll as that the territory be reduced 10
counties of convenient size, require the ac-
ton of the legislature in reference there
10. The present county of Thurston en-
braces all the territory north of Skookum
Chuck up to the British possessions, inclu-
ding all the Islands in the Sound and Straits
to the Pacific Ocean-amongst which is
Whidby's Island, large enough of itself 10
form a county Of well adjusted proportions.
The counties in our Judicial district should
be definitely arranged and attached-our
county lines modified, and marked with un,
mistakable precision, and seats of justice es-
tablished throughout the several counties
If appropriations are 10 be made for the con-
struction of territorial roads, northern Or
egon can certainly present as strong claim
in point Of NECESSITY, as any portion of the
territory. A territorial road established up
the Cowlitz river for distance of only about
thirty miles, would prove of almost incalcu-
ble benefit 10 both northern and southern
Oregon, and open up at once an increased
and comparatively easy means Of communi-
cation between those divisions of the Hterri-
tory of Oregon"
