LEWIS RIVER, July 18th, 1877.

LEWIS RIVER, July 18th, 1877.
EDITOR INDEPENDENT:
On recent visit to the lower Lewis River
country we were surprised at the advanced
stage of vegetation. Growing crops of every
description look exceedingly well. Wild
grasses and timothy will yield from two to
three tons of hay per acre, while wheat and
oat crops will average considerably above
those Of the far.famed Willamette valley.
We tioticed particularly the crops growing
on the ellison farm, lying half mile north
of Pekin, on the North Fork. Corn grow
ing here, we think, would compare favorably
with that grown in some of the noted corn
countries. EARLY potatoes were selling at
seventy.five cents per bushel, delivered OH
the bank of the river; the yield of potatoes
for the acre planted will be enormous. Ev-
erything else in the way of vegetables looks
proportionately well. Farmers here are
reaping the benefit Of the high water of last
year, which did SO much damage at that
time. Mr.. Oliver Gibson, under whose SUI
pervision the working operation of the above
farm is carried ON, informed us that the dam
ages sustained last year will be repaid and a
fair balance of profit made above the run
ming expenses of the farm by the increase in
the yield of crops the present season.
There is a field on this farm that has been
in cultivation for twenty-five years and will
produce at least two tons of good timothy
hay per acre. We infer from this that the
land will not wear out, as each succeeding
overflow deposits sediment that enriches
the soil. The June freshet comes at just the
right time to be of most benefit to the grow.
ing crops, and it always comes high enough
to moisten the sandy soil of these bottoms.
If it were not for these two causes, great
portion of these valley lands would be prac-
tically worthless; as it is, they are among the
most productive on the coast.
Mr.. Stratton's farm, lying on the east side
of the river, opposite Gilson's, is in a high
state of cultivation. He is carrying on the
dairying business in small way, and keeps
some of the finest cattle We had the pleasure
of seeing in this section of country. The
Devon, crossed with common stock, seems
to predominate in his band. MIR. S. is all
enthusiast in his line of business and takes
excellent care of his stock He has come to
the conclusion-which all intelligent stock
men must come to sooner or later-that it
does not pay to carry on half way system
of cattle raising, and therefore does not pay
to keep scrub stock.

Fire in Portland.

Last Friday night the Cosmopolitan Hotel
in Portland was burned to the ground. Jas.
Watson, guest, was burned to death in the
building. He was a native of Yorkshire,
England; aged "a years, and carpenter by
trade. The fire originated in the oil room
and spread SO rapidly that it was with diff
Guilty that many of the dodgers escaped with
their lives. The loss is variously estimated
at from $25, 900 to $45, 600, partially insured.
This building was put up in 1852 and was
one of the old landmarks of Portland. It
has always been popular hotel, and particu-
larly SO under the management of Mr.. Dan
Holton.

VANCOUVER CROPs.-Thc other day we

JN.arance as ever before. On the farm of c.
H. Whitney, Esq., there is tract of land,
which in the spring OF this year was encum-
tered with oak stumps, that is now produce
ing as fine first crop Of oats as any crop we
have seen in the couaty. The wheat on the
new ground of the Sisters of Charity is very
fine. L. NJ. Hidden has a large buckwheat
crop this year. He has about 30 acres in
grain Mr.. Elurock's and Mr. Geo. Durgin's
crops also look very well. The high water
of last year was in many instances decided
help to bottom farmers. Beneftting the
soil more than the amount of damage to crops
and improvements.

My DEAR WILLIE:
When you wrote your first article to the IN

shock il gave me. Why did YOU not sign your

Now, Willie, don't know what to say, I'm
SO afraid you will get cross with me. But
tell you that If any one should write piece,
and put it in the paper, calling me dear" and

kittitaSS Items.

We are permitted to make the following
extracts from a private letter, written at
Kittitass Valley, Yakima county, on the 2lst
of July:
The Indian excitement is raging fearfully
and getting worse every day. Several fami
lies have already left the valley and others
are going to day, and more are getting ready
to leave. The possibility is that half the
valley will he vacated in two days
unless something can be done to bring
the people to their senses. There has
been no reason given for the excite
ment, not even the shadow Of cause is
assigned. The Indians were never more
peaceable or friendly than they are at this
time, and some Of them are little frighten-
ed to see people acting so silly. Many Of
the Indians make fun of the whites. All
business is suspended, cannot get hand
to work for love or money. Many people are
leaving their crops uncared for, to 60 to
waste. Those people who are remain
ing in the valley are building forts on each
side of the Yakima River. think the panic
will abate in few days. The only depreda-
ton that has been committed a. yet, is the
robbing of the Cinnamon ON the Columbia
about eight days ago. and this was undoubt-
edly the work of white men dressed in Indi.
an costume There were but three robbers
and the Cinnamon numbered 30, several
hundred dollars were taken from them.
