About Puget Sound.
New YORK, April 81, Is;

New YORK, April II, 1893.
To The EDITOR OF THE nERALD.--llay-
ing Just returned from four years residence
on Puget Sound, permit me, for the benefit
of our emig a,lng population, TO testify,
through your widely circulated columns, to
some of the surprising advantages oi that
portion Of the territory.
| have travelled through every State in
the Union, and can safely aver that | have
never found a place to equal that delightful
country for healihiness, beauty of scenery,
and unvarying temperature. There is an
invigorating influence in the atmosphere pc
culiar to itself, experienced by every one,
and productive of the most buoyant spirits
the real source of happiness.
The land is well adapted for cultivation
and pastoIage. On space of twelve acres
raised over five thousand bushels of pota-
toes, of dry and excellent quality, some Of
which weighed over four pounds each, and
even the largest were as sound atthe core as
the smallest; onions, cabbages, lurnips, car
rois, parsnips, &c, produce likewise very
abundantly, and no farmer would hope for
better crops Of wheat and oats.
The pastuTage, generally, is not TO be ex-
celled, and is abundant throughout the year.
particularly on large district known as
Puyallup," about eight miles inland from
the shores of Puget Sound, where the prai-
ries are covered with wild oats and red and
white top clover, presenting from April TO
November the richest possible luxuTiance,
and constantly 50 plenty that no farmer ev-
er thinks of providing fodder for his stock
during winter.
The winters are very mild, and snow is
rarely more than an inch deep.
The timber, Of which there is great abun-
dance, particularly cedar and fir, is of the
largest and finest quality.
In short, the purity of the air, the luxu-
RANT prairies, the forests Of noble tall trees
on every side, the never-failing springs oi
pNrest, coolest water, innumeIable lakes, an
almost pToluse abundance of game and fish
all harmonize TO render it one of the
most delightful countries in the world ald
were il better known, and that the ''Dona-
ton Act" gives grant Of one hundred and
sixty acres Of land to every American set
tier, not only omigrants, but thousands who
never thought of emigraiing, would abandon
their present undertakings for the certainty
of good farms and easy and rich harvests,
which await them there.
am, sir, yours, very respectfully,
--- JAMES HALL.

IAClflC OOUNIN, w. Asg
Angus; 8, 1853.
Mn. McELRoY-I notice in a recent
number of your paper an appeal to the citi-
zens Of Washington Territory 10 contribute
money for the openingof the road to Wslla-
walla, for the benefit Of the present immi-
grafton. am much pleased to see such
manifestations Of public spirit as is exhibited
by the cilizens Of Olympia and vicinity, and
should be very glad 10 contribute my mite.
| have consulted some Of our citizens in
reference to the matter, but, sir, they are
mostly settlers of the last years immigra-
ton, and as a matter OF coHrse have not the
means to contribute much. They are gen.
orally enierprising and industrious men, and
are willing to do all they can with their
own hands. We are now busly engaged
in opening and preparing to open roads and
thoroughfSres for the present immigration,
from the mouth of the Columbia river to
the interior Of the country. A road has
already been opened from point Ellis, opPo-
site Astoria, to Bear river, in the direction
of Shoal Water Bay, distance Of about ten
miles Other roads are being opened from
Bakers Bay TO Shoal Water Bay, making
the land travel between the two bays less
than two miles. One Of these roads will
be completed IN few days, and teams will
be kept in readiness at this place for ma
king the portage
A very superior boat of 25 tons has Just
been completed by Capt. J. W. Allen of
this county, for the express purpose of ply
ing between this place and the Dalles Of
the Colombia, thus enabling immigrants
who may desire 10 settle anywhere between
the mouth Of the Columbia and Gray's Har-
Dor, to make almost the entire possage from
the Dalles by water, with their families,
wagons, stock, &c. And would Just re-
mark that exploring parties arc passing here
almost every day, and all of them return
much pleased with what they have seen.
Very rapid settlements are making on al
most every tributary Of Bakers and Shoal
Water Bays, and business is increasing rap
idly. Since the goth of February last the
following vessels have obtained cargoes from
Shosl Water Bay
Schooner Maryland, cargoes, brig Mor-
shantman, sehr Sophia, brig Potomac,
bark Success, brig Sophia and bark Polar,
comprising ,433 tons. The value Of these
cargoes, at the lowest market price, would
be $73,400. The above csrgoes consist ed
principally of oysters and piles. These
facts learn from Capt. Chas. w Russell, of
Shoal Water Bay, who, y-the-by, is very
enterprising citizen, and has taken much
pains to keep an accurate account of all

and in bis neighbOrhoOd the grazing is ex-

claims thereabOuts yet unOccuPied, and tina;

Boar rIoKED ur.-We learn that an
Englis built jolly boat, apparently new, and
freshly painted, containing four oars and
four hats, has recently been found by the
QuenOy Indians and brought into Gray's
Harbor. The boat is not at all damaged
not so much as having the paint rubbed of
in any place, and the Indians say she was
perfectly dry when they found her. The
boat is supposed 10 belong to a Gillian
bark that was seen several weeks since
standing " off and on " at the entrance to
Gray's HaIbor. Latest dates from thence
say that the Indians have found the body
of one man on the beach, but so mutilated
that neither his features nor complexion
could be discerned.

instant for Puget Sound, with the view of
completing the triangulalion and hydro

about proceeding from Astoria up the river
