CHEHALIs, April IA, 1878.
To THE EDITORS OF THE DISPATCH
The beautiful weather of the past
few weeks has been we'll improved
by the farmers of this valley in get
ting in their spring crop of grain.
Expecting a large increase in the
population of the county during the
summer, a greater breadth of grain
has been sown than ever before.
Several parties have been pros
pecting for a location for grist mill
with good results, and we expect to
grind the present crop of wheat in
the county; and the Indications now
are that we will have market for it
at home.
A party of emigrants from Ohio
built a scow at Centreville, a few
days since, and started down the
Chehalis river for this place. I'm
with the river, and with
an unwieldly craft, they struck a
snag and had narrow escape from
some of the party 10 in
but as fortune favors the
brave, they arrived safely.
Mr.. Gordon Henry, who has had
charge of the Quinault Indian Res
ervation in this county so long that
Point Granville began to look up to
him as a permanent fixture, has
been relieved by one of Rutherford's S
friends from the Buckeye State,
named Wood, who arrived on the
last boat and at once entered upon
the discharge Of the duties of an
Indian herder.
The election passed off very quiet
ly here. As far as heard from about
one-fourth of the vote Of the county
was polled. We once met a man
who thought he could tell mans
politics by looking at him, and l
think he is the only living man who
could tell the politics Of the county
by the vote of last Tuesday.

TACOMA HERALD maintains that fir
lands are the best for potatoes. :"
This is news to us. We don't re-
member having maintained that fir
land was the bess for anything but
fir; but we do maintain that potatoes
and other produce may beprofitabIy
grown upon fir land. Herald.
And we maintain, from actual ex-
perience, that fir lands do produce
the best potatoes; though not the
most abundant crop. Last season
we planted potatoes upon lot which
had previously been cleared of fir
timber, and ploughed for the first
time after the first of June, with no
other purpose than to cultivate the
ground. The. product was far be-
yond our expectations, of a superior
quality of potatoes, sound, firm and
entirely free from the diseased ap-
pearance of potatoes raised from
