SwinOrRRish R1cIIls.

DIKING THIS YEAR ON THE SwINoM
IsH.-Last week We walked from Skaglt
City to La Conner, crossing the Skagit
at Mr.. Talbot's place, thence by trail and
wagon road to the house of Mr.. Cornol.
ious, along what is known as Pleasant
Ridge. This ridge extends into the
centre of the Swinomish flats somewhere
like three miles from the Skagit. From
the end Of the ridge one OF the finest
views in the Territory may be witnessed
The place Of Mr.. Cornelius being situat-
mated at the foot OF and around the end
of it, and covering some 90 acres or so
Of the end of the ridge, forming one of
the most beautiful, picturesque and fer
tile as well as productive ranches found
anywhere. Coming from the Skagit, one
sees to the right of the road tract of
level marsh, mostly above tide level, con.
tanning several thousand acres of land,
But little OF this is covered with timber.
1t requires diking, not against tthe tide
so much as the annual ioveahow of the
Skagit, caused in part by tho backing up
Of the Skagit by the Jam. 1t has been
estimated that over 100000 acres of
the very best kind of marsh land could
easily. .belrcclaimed in body here by a
slight dixie on the removal of the Jam.
For several years past a number of per.

The smallpox.

As there seems to be much fear felt
elsewhere Of the smallpox, and as some
wild stories are in circulation about the
prcvalcncy of the disease, we have made
it point to inquire into the matter, for
the purpose OF relieving the public mind
of unnecessary distress. The only case
or cases Of smallpox on Puget Sound are
one or two at Port Townsend. a man
on board the barkcntine Victor broke
out with the disease, and was taken with
the entire crew and the vessel to quamn-
tine three miles below Port Townsend,
The vessel was cleaned and tumigated,
and on Sunday last was released, togeth-
cr with her master and a portion of the
crew. None of the mans shipmatcs
have so far given evidence Of infection,
and. as the sanitary regulations are OF
the very best character, tits thought
none of them will. The case that caused
the excitement at Port Townsend last
week was that of an Indian on board the
DalOta He broke out with measels or
something of the kind, which few timid
ones discovering at once pronounced
smallpox. The only two physicians at
Port Townsend were sent for, neither of
whom could say that the disease was as
asserted, and the Indian. leaving the
ship, was placed in the pest house at the
quarantine ground his nine companions
on board taking canoe and goingln it
to Victoria. This is or these are the
only case or cases Of smallpox now
known to exist on Puget Sound, and
probably the only two in Washington
Territory, Both are caled for, and
guarded against all possibility Of spread
ing the contagion. There need be no
fear on the part of any one, and the less
fear felt the better for Tribune.

CLARGNpA, Iowa, Sept, l, 1870.

CLARINDA, Iowa, Sept, l, 1870.
lfy Dear Morse: For some time have
been intending to give you my impress,
ions of Iowa--a section of country in
such marked contrast to our own terrific
ry. With a surface of $4,000 miles in
extent--no where rising above the digni-
ty of ofhills-and all susceptible of agri-
culture, it is easy to be seen that Iowa is
destined at no very distant day to become
an empire of itself in wealth and popu-
lation. Lam located atpresent in the
Nodaway valley so called from the river
which runs through it, and at point
about equidistant $50 niles from st.
Joseph, Mo. and Omaha, Neb From
our home we look off westward upon the
high rolling prairics, swelling and sink
ing to the horizon like the great billows
Of the grand old ocean, and dotted all
over with peaceful farm houses nesting
amid great fields OF corn, which nod and
dance eXultantly in the breeze, as if to
say ~ bear food for the whole world.n
In front Of US the valley gradually recedes
to the river, whilst beyond far as the eye
can reach lies a magnificent stretch of
timber, sufficient for the wants Of this
section for fuel for generations A
branch of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad runs to Carnda, SO that
communication is easily had with the
great network OF western railroads.
Each farm house is reached through
avenues or sheltered by groves of trees.
Pure soft water abounds everywhere, so
that few more beautiful valleys are to be
found in the world than the Nodaway
valley. Clarinda contains q population
of about 1900, and is the seat of much
refinement and wealth. 1t contains

usual accidents and incidents Notwi,h,
Standing the careful arrangements made
by the officers OF the Society to have the
work finished in time for the fair, the
steady spell Of bad weather prior to thC
iair week set all the croakcrs of, that the
work could not be finished, that it wouIo
storm 50 none would he there, &C., &c,
vet the work was all completed in time
the weather was all that could be de
sired.
The previous notice was 50 very short
that on account Of this bad weather be-
fore fair week, many people who could
did not interest themselves as much as
they might, no entries being made from
Mukiltco, or Tululip and but few from
up river, yet the quality OF articles was
superior, to last year, while over one
hundred entries were made this year
more than last.
The buildings erected on the grounds
could well contain couple Of thousand
entries, of such articles as are usually
exhibited at such fairs, 50 much more
room existing than last year, caused the
display to appear less in comparison
than it really was.
Mrs, Hurst made fine display Of cut
flowers, over ninety varieties,
The farmers on the StilIaguamish and
Swinomish made an excellent display Of
grain and vegetables. The orators of
the fair Rev. j. Il. Thompson, Rev. d.
n. Utter, Hon o. B. Iverson and w.
VI. Tirtlot Esq, were present. Rev. j.
r. Thompson gave the opening address
as it will appear in next weeks STAR,
comment will be superiiuous.
The address of the Rev. d. N. Utter
WAS given on Wednesday afternoon after
the close of Mr.. Thompson's. 1t was u
very able address, replete with incidents
anecdotes and illustrations to combine
amusement with instruction. AS it was
orally delivered, we are unable to repro
duce it.
On Thursday, the last day of the fair,
Mr.. Iverson gave an address upon the
subject of the development of the re-
sources Of this country by immigration
and the appliaation of skilled labor &U.
Illustrating his position by reference
made to the culture applied in Norway
and the growth of the country in the
Mississippi Valley, This address was
also extemporaneously delivered, Mr..
Tirtlot's address we expect will appear
in next weeks issue. Take the lair all
in all 1t was a success.
The display was fully equal in quality
and quantity to any previous years.
The attendance the last two days of the
fair was large, perfect good order pre-
vailed, everyone left apparently pleased
and good natured.
Selections were made for the fair of
the Washington Industrial Association
next week, as usual.
Now that this fair is over, and we have
secured good buildings, grounds &C.
some have nearly everything ready for
next years fair already made, would it
not be well for our citizens to interest
themselves in the matter, and begin at
once to make arrangements to hold a fair
next year, in SO thorough manner, that
no single product will fail Of being
properly represented, and keep the mat
ter before the whole community through
out the season. The present tall and
coming winter is the time to make ar
raugements for next years work.
