had terrible attack of earac6e ali
in one day and night. l worked
over the little sufferers doing all

suggested by our neighbors. On the

came in and asked me if / had tried

had not heard of that. She told me
TO put some live Goals on a tin plate,
sprinkle some brown sugar on them,
set funnel over it, and then hold

into the ear. did SO, using the
same remedy for both little ones.

into Great Britain is said to have
struck CONSERVATION to the hearts of

meat is found to be superior to the

Liverpool and Dublin very much
cheaper. The result promises to be
very important and far-reaching in
its effects. In Ireland the high
price OF labor and the poor return
for farm products have led to an ex-
tensive conversion Of farming lands
to the purposes Of grazing. The
raising Of cattle and sheep has be-
come the leading industry of the
country, but this is threatened with
aunihilation by the influx of Ameri-
can beef in the British market, and
it is surmised that the result will be
the restoration of the land to tillage

Letter from ClNIRm County. rr{
PoRr Angeles, March ~, 1877.
EDITOR ARGUS:
In late issue you ask for CORES
pondence from Clalam County in
reference to the agricultural lands
unoccupied and open for settlement
by the many emigrants who cOntem-
plate coming out here. l have on
several occasions written articles
which you have published concern
ing the resources of this part of the
Territory. For some reason this
county has been entirely overlooked
by those who ought to have advsn-
ced its interests, but as you are re-
ceiving letters from people East in
quiring where they could get good
land to settle on~and make perma-
nent homes send you the follow
ing items concerning this county,
beginning at Sequim and Dunge-
ness, where there is some good land
to be taken,and some to buy already
improved. From there is a stretch
OF about ten miles, heavily timbered
at the water front, but what there is
in the interior very few know any
thing about.
In the vicinity of Port Angeles
there are some very good places yet
to be taken. Several parties took
claims few days ago.
The same on the Ellwah, seven
miles west. Then comes Freshwa-
ter Bay and Crescent, with but few
settlers and plenty of good claims
yet to be taken. Next is Lyle and
Twin river, r,twelve miles further west,
which few know anything about.
Next is Picht river, with many good
claims, also trail from there to the
Quillehuyte prairiss. Seven miles
west is Clalam Bay with some good
claims, also good harbor to ship
produce. Five miles west of this
place is Hoco river, aud / speak
from my own observation when /
say there are a hundred good bot
tom land claims, covered with alight
growth of alder, maple and shrub
berry, with splendid water front for
shipment.
The next twenty miles west Of this,
I am sorry to say,was gobbled up by
the Indian ring for poor Lo, who
does not want it, and about 10000
acres Of as good land as ever lay out
of doors is looked up until dooms-
day from those who would make it
productive, or until the false philah-
thropy of some of our Puritanical
neighbors has passed away, and an
Indian, if he behaves himself, will
have only his share of Goi's foot
stool with bis poor white brother.
Thirty-fve miles southwest of
Neeah Bay is the great Quillehuyte
prairies, which would give splendid
farms to thousand families. There
is no doubt but, the open country
almost reaches the Chehalis river.
There are few thrifty settlers there
now with large herds of cattle, but
no roads. Ifa road we're made from
Picht river, or Neeah Bay, butchers
would not want to go to the Yakima
for all their fat cattle. Some effort
ought to be made by the citizens to
have this part of the country survey

THE barkentine Jane A. Faikin-
burg, on her last trip from Portland
to Honolulu carried ton Of pre-
served potatoes prepared by the
Plummer Fruit Dryer. The Captain
purchased the potatoes and makes
the shipment on his own account.
This is probably the beginning of a
large trade in this line. The pota-
to prepared in this way is preferred
by many to the fresh vegetable.
By this process it is said they will
keep for a long time in any climate,
and retain all their properties as
when fresh. The shipment mem
toned is put up in tin cans properly
painted to prevent rusting, and
labeled. The cans weigh, when filed,
56 pounds each. Tons of fruit are
put up every day at this establish
