~ During the past week every man who
owned An acre of ground that would grow
wheat has been busy with his teams and
plows putting it in readiness for seeding.
Hundreds of acres of new ground have been
and are being broken up. The plows have
commenced to turn over the sod on one
field of 800 acres between town and Dry
creek. Every indication now points to the
putting in and harvesting of hundreds of
acres more Of wheat and other grains than
last year. Then, too, the yield should tar
exceed the average of any previous year,
AS the ground is now soaked to greater
depth than it has been in years. 1t is safe
to estimate the surplus crop Of the coming
harvest at over l,250,0 bushels. This
INN ense amount of grain will have to find
market down the Columbia in one form
or other. The @. S. N. Co. have already
announced the dimensions of new boat to
be built at Cello early in the Spring, and
we. believe the railroad company will try
and provide ample means of transportation
TO the river. The outlook for lively times
next year is very encouraging. Men with
surplus capital would find it to their inter
est to visit this section and examine the
numerous opportunities for profitable in.

MAIL RoUTE.-It is claimed by some that the

has been lately established should be changed
to pass through the Assotih settlements.
There is certainly want of mail facilities for the
settlers on the Assotin. But Waha Prairie set
tiers would m".h object to any change that
would leave them unprovided for, and route
which would supply both these settlements
would be very circutous. We need route in
operation that will connect US directly with the
Grand Rond valley 70 intercept the Northwest
ern Stage Company sroute overland, and either
one Of the above routes alluded to will supply
this need, and save the beople of this vicinity
about ninety miles distance in mail transmission,
to Boise City, and the East. 1t is claimed for
the Assotin route that it will pass through q
better country for settlement. will be more free
from snow in the wintor, and is a route over
which good wagon road can be built. while
the Waha Prairie route is shorter but portions
of it more subject to SHOWS and is impracticable
for a wagon road. If both of these routes can
not be practicable and mail facilities be secured
for both, let us have the one that will best SUBJ
serve the people, and let US have it in full oper-
alton as early as practicable. ssft t.t. .fs

AS the ferry boat Fulton was nearing

crews attention, but she kept her course, and
struck Tho Fulton 10 the Rentlemens cabin, In

was stove In, the roof was cracked, and three
windows were broken 10 the ferry boat. The
pilot boat lost her bowsprit, and her bows were
badly battered. She was beating down the
river, and spectators say had plenty Of room to
make her tack without striking the Fulton, but
tho wind and tide both seem 70 have helped
drive her into collision with the ferry boat.
The blame, II there Is any, rests with her helms
man.
The pilot boat was damaged so badly that che
was taken to shipyard. The Fulton wss like
wise taken to the cOmpany's repair wharf. The
excitement IN the ferry boat was intense. She
was not crowded. Passengers had Jumped from
their seats when II was evident that tue shock
must come, and many Of then we're thrown to

them tainted. Mr.. John Martin, OF 35l Clinton

timber, and inJdred by scalp wounds. He was
cared for in a drug store and sent home. An
other man had similar wounds ire ID, and then
went his way. The ferry-bOat pilot was one VI
the most careful IN the cotDpany's employ.
