We met Mrs. Victor ut New Tacoma.
She pre- sen,ed us with Il copy of her new
work, THE Kew Penelope" This is
II collection of stories, pen pictures of
life IN tins cOast--drawn 10y one who
is II master OF the subect--urd OF
poems written at various times. They
will all well repay perusal. Mrs. VS..
numerous works are too well known and
appreciated to need our endorsement.
She intended to come here, and learn
what the lower Sound country was, so
that in rewriting her work on Oregon
and this Territory, ample justice could
he done to this part OF the Territory but
after reaching Seattle, she WAS compelled
to postpone the trip. For the good OF
this section, we hope 1t is only postponed,
as thousands read the articles from her
brilliant pen, and her visit would have
made many know this section who now
know it not.

THE SOIL OF THE PUYALLUP.-Thi
valley is estimated to contain about So
900 acres OF bottom land. There seems
tn be no spruce, and little cedar in the
bottoms. The fir upands are not deemed
fit for cultivation. The timber of the
bottoms is mainly Alder, Balm OF Gilead
and Maple. Ash is also found, as well
as most other kinds of timber usually
seen in this region on similar soil.
The land is lighter, more sandy and
less cltyry then in any OF the river bot
toms 10 the nOrthward. The land is 81
porous, rhat it is less liable to overflow,
and suffers more from drouth than most
of the other yallies around the sound.
Orchards grow well, and all kinds of
crops that require n quick, warm soil.
Great differences of soil ARE found in tae
valley; some is too sandy and light to bd
really cnsscd as agricultural lands, while
other regions are as fertile as any soil in
the Territory.
Hops require SOL with little clay,
that is quick and warm, therefore they
