The Snake River Route.

his perhaps, not generally known that the
country from Walls Walla or Umatilla to Salt
Lake is much easier travelled during the winter
season than the roads and railroad routes are
leading from California eastward across the Si-
ezra Nevada mountains, upon this subject the
Idaho Statesnan of late date says:
"t is not little remarkable but is quite true
that the shortest route for railroad to connect
the Union Pacific with the Pacific ocean, and the
only one that is never obstructed by storms and
deem snows-nameIy. the one through Southern
Idaho and Eastern Oregon-is the only one that
never has been surveyed. Not even p-elimi-
nary reconnaissance has been made Of the couo-
try to note its characteristics or learn whether
such scheme is practicable. The Central Pa
ci6c is built from Sacramento over the Sierra
Nevada mountains, and is now showed up or
washed away in different places. Two years
surveying has been prosecuted on the North Pa,
ciic route during such short periods in the sum-
mer as the melted SHOWS would permit. All this
time the route down the Snake river over the
Blue mountains from Grand Ronde valley, has
never been obstructed by SHOWS or storms so as
to prevent the stages from making their regular
trips almost without an exception for the last
four years. No such storm as has lately stopped
travel all along the California route has ever
visited this section of the country within the
memory of the oldest settler. Last winter the
Donner lake or present railroad route was i'm
passable for over a month from deep SHOWS, ex>
cept by men on snow shoes. This winter has
been much milder aud more pleasant, but it is
still severe enough to blockade travel; while on
the northern route it is we'll known that the snow
falls every winter so deep that nothing can go
through it except upon Norwegian runners, The
reason of this difference is that the Sierra Nevada
range is less elevated on this route than any>
where else it has ever been proposed to run
road across them. The Umatlla silver cuts them
almost in two from the west, while the ascent
from Grand Ronds valley on the east is nothing
to be compared to the grades on the Central Pa
ciic road"

Agricultural Matters.


A correspondent of the STATESMAN throws
out some excellent hints upon the subject of
agriculture this week. Like our correspon-
dent, we deem this subject one of great, if
not of paramount importance to the farming
population. A thorough knowledge of the
various branches of agriculture is what
makes thrifty and independent farmer. To
acquire this knowledge and the almost cer-
tain affuence which results from its practis
cal application, requires that farmer should
closely study the subject in all its bearings
and systematic the occupation as nearly as
possible. In rler to do this it is necessary
to proceed upon some fixed plan, Fairs are
valuable adjuncts to this business but they
serve better to show what has been produced,
than what can or may be produced, or the
mode of producing. How'to farm, or the best
method of farming, we take it, is what agri-
cultural newspapers and "clubs" are designed
to elucidate, and what farmers generally are
the most interested in knowing. Therefore,
the suggestions of "AgricOla" recon-.
mends that newspapers, devoted to agricul
ture be taken by farmers, and that clubs be
formed to discuss matters pertaining to agri-
culture, with view to arriving at the best
manner offarming-are sound, and we hope
ere long will assume a practical shape.
We are well aware that there has been
little or no inducement for the past year or
two for farmers in this Valley to take much
interest in agriculture, owing to the made
quate prices of products of the soil. But
this condition of things cannot last long, and
there are much healthier indications of fu.
ture prosperity in this line than have been
apparent for long time.
Then let those who take an interest in
this branch of business be up and doing now;
before the busy seeding time commences.
While there is nothing to be lost in the mat>
ter of getting up and attending clubs, much
valuable information might, and undoubted-
ly would be gained thereby. This Valley is
conceded, on all hands, to be the finest and
best of all the valleys lying between tho
Rocky Mountains and the Cascade range
as far north as you please, and some hundreds
of miles south. This is saying great deal
but no more thau the truth. Our climate
is good, and for the latitude, is perhaps un-
equalled on the continent. For stock grow
ing and grain raising there are few countries
or localities that can equal this. With these
advantages, without mentioning others, this
Valley must ere long contain a dense and
thrifty population, and it behooves farmers
who expect to: remain to improve their pla-
ccs, their stock, and try and acquire the
cheapest and best methods of cultivatng all
the products of the farm.
In conclusion, "Agricola" and others, are
invited to write as often as they see 6t upon
this and kindred subjects, and we notify all,
that such matters of interest will invariably
find place in the columns of the STATES
MAN.

WEATHER, AND AMUsEMENTs AT THE DALLEs.-
The Aountaineer of the llth inst, has the follow
ing: "For the past week, the people of the
Dalles have been amusing themselves with sleigh
ing and skating. The seighing is excellent,
never was better. The skating, along the shore
of the river, is very good, but would be better
was the ice not covered with a small coating of
snow. The river is frozen completely over and
no doubt strong enough to bear loaded teams.
We noticed large number of lady skaters, at
different times, on the ice, who seemed to be ems
joying themselves hugely. Taken altogether,
this winter promises to be as pleasant as the
heart could wish for. The weather has been de-
lightful clear and cold, with the sun shining
brightly all day, but making very little or no
impression on the snow or ice. The children of
the district school have been enjoying themselves
in coasting down the hill, in the neighborhood
of the school, during their leisure hours. As
far as we have been able to learn, no accidents
of serious nature have yet occurred to mar the
pleasures of our winter sports"
