there il not much 10 attrac: the eye, |
but to an artist the broad snow sheets !
and white-cappcd mountains. with here
and there a grove Of evergreens, would !
be a subject for many q piece of can |
vas. At Graneeville and Mt Idaho |
both the subject of expectation by
river and rail claims but little atten-
ton from the citizens. What puzzles
them more is the solution Of the query
how to supply the local demand for
grain, vegetables and other home pro
duetions. II there was a railroad ex-
tending from every valley and steam
err plying every creek, both market
| ward to the sea, their burdens would
consist Of burdens and promises, for
the people have hardly enough to sup
ply the demand at home. You might
ask how is this in a country 50 pro-
ductivel The reason is simple. Emil
grafton ! is pouring into this country,
farms are being developed on every
side, buildings, good and substantial,
are shooting up undor the tap of the
hammer, new mines adjoining are he
ine developed, and TIE amount of
grain sown last year is MT equal to
this unexpected demands Flour vii
have to bc imported and many other
domestic articles of consumption.
Very many of the late emigrants to
this quarter are gentlemen of wealth
| and are making substantial! improve
, ments The Newton brothers, En-
elish gentlemen Of extensive means are
) among the number and are construct
{ ing some model farm houses near Cot
, tonwood. The air is crisp, tho ground
. is frozen aud complaints come from
none but the doctors; they alone have
but little business as no epidemies
t abound.
There is feeling of pride and ri
/ valry about the people Of tamas prai
q ric that is worthy Of emulation
a Every move towards Improvement in
/. the country or in the city is marked
e with permanency. Their building,
= are neat, commodous and substantial
: Between the people of Grangeville anc
Y the Mountain City it is plain TO b,
' seen feeling of jealousy evists thougl
g it is of such nature that only gocf
i to each or to both can emanate. The,
{ are rivalins one another in The pcs
e session Of power and wealth. Thu
@ grand idea which is filing their mind
is, whether the one or the other vii
q be the principal city Of the prairie
q A bread, rich valley, with room 70
the many thousand farms, almost en-
j circled with timbered hills, which ar
: rich in undeyeloped and undiscovere,
. mines Of gold and other precious met
a ais, with people ardent and active
y These are certainly the requisites tina
i lay the foundation Of future CONNER
: cial greatness.
To one standing on the hillside an,
: looking down upon twenty miles of tn
Q prairie. net work of fenced farms
y with moving loads Of lumber is jus
q now a pleasing sight. The prospec
j for higher prices in the grain marke
y induces farmers to sell only so muc
of their grain as will meet their cul
ie rent expenses.
The young ladies of Camas prairi
,. are about organizing young ladie

le ing the coming Winter.

e The three saw mills on Camas pra
