SErTL1NG.-The farming lands in
Snohomish and Whatcom counties
are being rapidly settled up by i'm
migrants chiefly from the prairie
States. A large portion of this i'm
migration has heretofore arrived by
way of Portland, owing to the re-
duced rates of fare on that route,
but now no doubt the Pacific Mail
steamships will do most of the car
rying, as the old rates are again
charged on the Portland route.
This settling up of the farming
lands down Sound will result d.
rectly in increased trade for our
merchants, and will contribute
greatly toward the prosperity of
Western Washington. But these
settlers are only the advance of large
colonies yet to come, and within a
few months the best of our farming
lands will be occupied by families.
who will contribute materially to
the wealth of the Territory.
CEDAR R1vER.--From Mr.. Fl. Rus
sell Of Cedar River, we learn that
many families are settling in that
locality, and more are reported on
the way. There are many good To-
cations for farms still vacant. This
section has the advantage of being
on or near the line of the Seattle and
Walla Walla railroad, which is al
ready built to Renton on this river,
with the prospect of being extended
this year.
CROP PRosPEcTs.-An Oregon ex-
change says: "We have conversed
with number of farmers from va
rious portions of Oregon. and from
accounts conclude that the surplus
of wheat this year will be compare
lively small unless the weather be
so adjusted as to suit the sturdy
granger. But little plowing has
been done, even in the hills for
weeks past. and no grain sown in
consequence of rain"
COMPROMISED. - Tne opposition
steamers plying between Portland
and San Francisco have at length
arrived at an understanding. Their
rates for the present will be $500
cabin, $3.50 steerage, for passen-
gers, and $3 and 81, according to
