most tlattering account of the condition of
the new colony. The snow went off early
and seed was put into the ground the last of
| April. The crops are coming forward most
| luXuriantly. Spring wheat stands foot high
| and the root and other crops are in an equal
state of torwardness. There are two hum
dred acres of stout grass standing where two
years ago it was an unbroken wilderness.

promises the colony will be lavishly indepen-
dent in October. They have means enough
to carry them handsomely through the sum
mer, and the enterprise is pronounced Il
| splendid success. The State will begin at
once to get an indirect return for its foster
| ing care-PoPtland Advertiser.
