We have been having Ilne rains, but Il has
cleared up, and We are now having sunshine,
which is making the grass grow finely. The
hills and valleys are now quite green and
stock doing well.
John s. White & Co, who have located
claims upon the high lands north Of town,
are turning under the sod at the rate Of seven
feet each round, and have been running at
this rate some two weeks. They now have
about one hundred acres turned under, which
will test the high lands Of this section, some
thing not heretofore done. Many claims
have been located on these lands, but all are
yet In the dark as to the result
Many persons are here almost daily in
search Of land to locate upon. The land
from Weston and Wild Horse toward the
Columbia appears 80 be different; it ia more
productive and is being fast taken up. Men
Of small means can more easily improve the
land OF that section, ii being much more
convenient 10 timber, and water is more
readily obtained by digging. II will soon be
an extensive farming country.
The majority Of the people Of this section
have become tired Of the long talked Of rail-
road to pass down on the south side of the
Columbia, and would now be glad to have
direct communication with the Sound. II
this people were able to build the road, they
would soon have 1t, leaving Portland out,
entirely.
This country is entirely at the mercy Of
one Of the greatest monopolies on the coast,
which retards improvements Of every de-
scription.
We understand that the o. s. N. or N. P.
Co. do not intend to build any OF the roads
that directly interest us, while Mitehelrs
bill is pending, in fact they have a good
enough thing as it now is.
DR.. Baker. it Is said, intends to extend his
road to Weston for the accommodation Of that
section Of grain growing country.
The Weston folks have incorporated with
capital stock of sl4, 600, and now have about

Fine Horses.

Persons who wish to raise fine horses can
now find the very best stock in the State
right here in Albany. W. C. Myeg has his
celebrated PercherOa hsrses here, which we
al know cannot be excelled anywhere. Fer
draft horses they simply cannot be equaled,
and their disposition is SO kind that they
make the very best horses for farm use. Be-
sides the celebrated Percheron stock, we
have fine Pathfinder horse, Western
Caief, F" owned by Chass Hegele, of Portland,
making the season in Albany. He is pure
Pathfinder, and is pronounced one of the
best trotters in our State. Our farmers and
