The Coriune people have gent Mr. Besdie
Of tho Reporter, to Washington to endeayor
to forward some Gentle interests in Utah in

one hundred Thousand acres OF fine land in
Bear River Valley, adjoining Corinne, which is
wortLless now, but with sufficient aud perma-

million dol1rs. It lies beautifully for inigating,
and IL good strong soil, unsurpassed for wheat
aud fruit. This being the case, it ia not sur
prising that the Nesos should espouse the
CAUSE Of marital adelity in the case Of Daniel
Mcfarland, standing brayely in that famous
case with tho Days OoiHgs, New York Herald,
Police Gazette the Sun, and other shining
lights Of morality in newBpaperdom. ! con-
gratu1ate it for once On having got into good
company.
It the only spot on tho road, from Fro
mont to Sacramento, that bird would csre to
Light on, and il larger in avai1ab1e culti7abla
area than all the improved land in Utah to-
gcther. Water might be brought on it in
abundance from Bear River, At 4 cost OF, per-
haps, $3.50, 900. The canal must needs be very
large, tWenty~fiye mites long, and ono-fourth
Of the distance is exceedingly rough ground.
Half Of it belongs to the Pacific Railroad Com
pany, and a company at Eorinne ask Of the
government the other half, in consideration
that they construct tho said canal.
Az for Corinne itself, it il shipping all the
Northern freight, and is building up fast.
Calder + Co., a Mormon firm at Ogden at
tempted to dabble in this forwarding business,
hut are not likely to another year. Ogden is
thirty rni1es further from the great North than
Corinne; it is too "Raintly" Tor tho boys in
the mountains, and there is no range about it
for stock. So that Calder i Co have to pay
moro, and have to send per irresponsible per-
sons II they can pick them up, With poor
teams, and they viii lose time, both in ship
ping and Il. route. CoTinne is bound to be tho
shipping point on the railroad for the great
North, let tho junction DO where it may.
