SHEEP RAISING.

1t has been demonstrated that sheep
with moderate care and attention will
thrive remarkably well in this country.
Several large bands in years past have
been driven to and hcrded on Camas
Prairie east, and several smaller bands
have been hcrded north Of this place
with good success. In the country
north there has been some loss, but We
are told that the loss was owing to neg
lect and bad management. Among
many of the old settlers who have cat
tie and horses in great numbers there
is manifested some opposition to the in
PRODUCTION of sheep upon our grass lands,
fearing they will kill out the grass.
But when the lands arc properly fenced
proportionatc number of sheep can be
raised with profit to the owners and
without injury to neishboring farms.
There is not the same or similar dan
ger of their destroying the grass as in
California, for our lands are not sub
jest to the drouth as in that state. It
is reported that owing to the present
dry season there sheep are starving in
great numbers, and that large bands
have been sold at 25 cents per head
and shipped by rail and otherwise to
other localities where grass can be had.
We are told that several large bands
are en- route for our section of country,
one band of nearly ten thousand may
be expected here within a few weeks.
So large bands confined to comparative
ly small areas of laul may be an injury,
but let them be properly distributed
and we can forcsec no injury to the
country by their importation. The
price of wool is advancing and if sheep
could ever be made profitable in Cali
fornia, we can sec no reason why they
cannot be made so here, with good
freighting accommodation to the sea
board. They will need shelter and
room, feed during the Winter, having
these they will be source of much
profit to their owners. /

forth the resources of the country. and
the same time laments the indifference
of the reading public to the important
suggestions often made by these interior
journals. 1t is noticeable fact not at
all unfrequent that metropolitan jour
nal which has gained some finacial
standing, will be quoted and beloved
as authority upon questions where the
opportunities Of its conductors have not
been half so great or good as those of
the conductors of some country paper.
and yet the wise measures and sugyes-
,ions of the country journal founded up
on close observation and familiarity
with the subjects treated are UNDECIDED
aud with some men have no more in
fuencc than if they were never written
and published. But tits Indifference is
not confind to the general readers of
newspapers. 1t is often noticeable in
even the editors and conductors them
selves of the metropolitan journals, that
they are unwilling to concede that an
obscure country paper can ever become
tutor to the metropolitan press upon
any subject. This sentiment wherever
manifested or wherever iorcshadowed.
we can but regard as foolish, stupid ar
rogancel and pride. Men whose radius
OF daily observation extends only to the
outer limits Ola city and its immediate
surroundings, however skilled as wri
ters they may be, are often i'll prepared
to give just views of the wants aud ne.
cessities OF the interior country, and the
city editor of newspaper will often adj
vance theories touching the country and
the people of the rural districts that
would only subject him to the derision
of every country school boy of dozen
Summers. They have been known to
render themselves as ridiculous in their
positions as did Horace Greedy in one
Of his lectures on farming, when in full |
view of his audience he took from his
skirt pocket his handkerchief to vine
off sweat from his brow aud found Il
died with the juice of a ripe tomato
which he had deposited in the same
pocket, aud then sat upon it. 1t il Oft

make great mistake when they pin
their faith upon teachings Of a city pa

II may not be that in every case
thoughts are advanced in a country
journal with as much rhetoric as in the

HE VvOULDLIKEIT.


THINKS HE WOULD LIKE 1T.
We received private letter from a
gentleman dated Indianapolis May 21st
1877, from which We publish the follow
ing extract: II had intended, and still do
intend, locating myself in some of the
rich mining and stock raising districts
ofthe Rocky mountain regions, as soon
as shall be able tosettlc up my affairs
here, which in common with affairs gen.
orally, got terribly mixed up and cut of
time since the panic of 1878. spent
live years at mining in Colorado with
very fair results, leaving there in 1865.
Since which time l have always had in
view, going back there or to some other
section that | might find even more de-
slrablc Tor permanent location. It is
either mining or stock raising that am
partial to, with rather more tendency
to the latter, and if it is convenient for
you to furnish me with data fresh and
reliable as to the inducements which
your locality offers to these callings, and
also to the practice of law, / would de-
sire it a special favor, which | would
fully return when opportunity offers.
! net Mr.. L ---some days ago, who
TANKS very fayorably of your section,
and believe intends locating some
where in that vicinity this Spring or
the coming Summer. With all the
sincerity of one who has experienced
frontier life, | wish you the utmost sue
cess in your enterprises. f&. 'se
Respectfully yours,
,.,f, H. W. G."
We have this to respond to our en-
quircr viz. Both mining and stock
raising in this section Of country have
heretofore been very remuneratiyc EN-.
Payments. Placer mining has been
the chief occupation in the mountains
aud on the bars of the rivers. Stock
raising has been chief on the bench and
table lands and in the valleys. Quartz
mining will supercedc the placers and
become foremost as capital is concentra-
ted for developemcnt and reduction
works. Grain growing will absorb some
Of the stock lands, as the cost Of trans.
portation to the sea board is lessened by
the Improvement Of our navigable rivers
the Snake and the Columbia, and vet
there will be abundance of room left for
the most extensive stock ranges. AS to
;he practice of law, the business is un-
stable and not always remuneratiye here.
It may become better as land estates
become involved after patent from the
government. If enquirer has money to
invest, We know of no country where he
IAN employ it to anyone of the enter.
,rises of mining, stock or grain raising
,ctter than in this section.
