how difficult it is to make good bread, and we
therefore take pleasure in calling attention to the
fact that to insure uniformly good, light, sweet
and nutritious bread, it is only necessary to use
Redington & Co.'S Yeast Powders, which in every
respect excel all similar preparations ever offered
to the public. See advertisement, in another

done from five to ten miles from Florence City
IN every direction, although the richest leads
have been struck in the immediate vicinity.
Great numbers are making their fortunes il
these mines, and still greater number are spend
ing their time and money to no purpose.
Persons fond Of games of chance can have

would stand about one chance in ten Of winning

somewhat doubt the propriety Of a man lcav-
ing his business and his home, ard the comfort
thereof to run after all the gold excitements that
are gotten up now-a.days on this coast, thereby
leading life Of hardship and exposure.
Before close this letter-which is somewhat
longer than intended when I started in-I will
remark that believe that gold will ere long BE-
fund nearer home. And further, that I was
much surprised at the amount and extent Of
rich tillAble lands on the Puyallup and White
rivers, and especially on the latter. Such large
and fine body Of good land cannot long lay idle,
and the day is not FAR distant when mills, stores,
hools, churches, and large and prosperous
settlement with good roads to and from it will
spring up hoIe. With the advantages this White
river country possesses, It must be so.
In conclusion will say, give me the old Puget
