Now, We have only further 10 say,
that We have passed many 4 pleasant
hour al Swan River. The memory Of
w. w. Warren, then the best talker
and the most gracefnl writer ip the tor
ritory remains with rs, and ever will,
i bright and precious treasure. We
oflen met him there, and never shall we
cease to admire the reverential. thoughts
fnl spirit, ia which he was wont 70 dis
course ofthe religion. customs and his
tory of the. Indian. His knowledge in
these matters was inexhaustible. He
talked and wrote much and well. But
his days were few He too has gone,
That journey 10 the Spirit Land which
" 50 oflen and eloquently described the
Indian as travelling, he, distant from
home und loved ones, commenced two
years ago.
We remember many others, but have
not time 70 speak, nor is il necessary.
LITTLE FALLS.
William Sturges is the principal pro-
prietor Of Little Falls, and we can only
speak of it since it came into his pos
session tits a well known point in the
county, and has made good beginning.
"A Saw and Grist Mil have been run
ming for two or three years; and part
Of the time have done good business.
Mr.. Sturges has himself put up the
Grist mill at heavy expenditure, and
the rebuilding and repairing Of the Saw
mill has cost him much time and large
sums cf money.
Benton County is indebted to Mr..
= f u. =
Sturges for the public spirit he has
evinced, often under the most discourag-
| ing circumstances, in his efforts to sup
ply the community with -four and lumber
We ourself can bear testimony TO the
unremitting labor to which 4he devoted
himself last summer, that the orders fol
lumber should be promptly filled. Hi:
mill has been doing fair business this
lSpring, and considerable lumber ha:
already been brought down and sold a
this place. We have just learned tina
another saw is now being put up, 50 tha
two will be running in few days. Th'
proprietors. we are glad to hear. have
logs in abundance on the spot. This il
fortunate We have never known s.
great a demand for lumber in the coun
Ety. Men seem TO be willing to pay any
price-if only they can get it. L is nov
selling here at the enormous price. Q
$26 per thousand feet. a few Rat
only, have come down as yet but "
hope when the two saws run, lumber
will be more plenty. and the price rea-
sonable.
Little Falls is pleasant place. The
distance from Swan River is about FIVE
miles Around the town, the scenerJ
iaS strikingly picturesque. You see il
every direction, handsome groves o
hard timber, which give to it certain
air Of age and cultivation rarely me,
with in this new country
Our space forbids an extended notice
Of this interesting point. Suffice il K
say. that in our Judgment Little Falls
will ultimately take rank among the fore.
most towns Of Benton County.
