land except on the river banks, which Is
mostly taken up, and in the lower end
of the county adjoining Clarke. The
upper or eastern half of the county has
not yet been surveyed. The county ia
we'll timbered, principally with fir. All
kinds Of grain can be raised, but grass
and pasturage for cattle are the princi-
pie products. Six miles of railroad
connects the lower and upper cascades,
over which all the freight which goes to
eastern Oregon, or up and down the
Columbia river. must necessarily pAss.
Handling freight. cutting and hauling
wood, keeping the railroad in repair,
making butter and taking care Of stock,
are the principle empioyments. Re-
pairers on the railroad get 81, 80 per
day and board; wood cutters get from
81 90 to 81 ,25 per cord for cutting wood
and board themselves; mechanics get
from 50, to S., per day, according to
what they do and what they know.
The prices obtained for our products,
and what we have to pay for general
merchandise, are regulated by the prices
paid in Portland, Oregon. We have
four school districts in the county and
school is being taught in each. We
have about 80 scholars in the county.
We have no churches or ministers. Ne
haveia daily mail carried by steamer,

From upper Cascades to the Dalles we
