NORTH FORK OF LEWIS RIVER ITEMS
Seeing that You invite correspondence from
different parts of the country, | hope a few
items from this section may prove interest
ing to your readers, of which there are
goodly number on the north fork OF Lewis
river. The first place OF Importance after
leaving Pel,in, on the north fork OF Lewis
river, is the Grange hall near the residence
of John S. Bozarth. This hall WAS built in
the fall of 1873 by the Lewis River Grange,
and is 80 feet long by - feet wide. The
grange still tlourshes, and as d natural con-
sequence the hall is kept in good repair.
Here the Lewis River Literary Society holds
ITS meetings, which are generally very well
attended. There is Il good steamboat land
ing ON the river near the hall. The little
steamer Hydra, under command OF Capt.
Wier now of the Latona, made two trips to
near the mouth of Cedar creek, about II
miles from where the north fork empties
into the main Lewis river; and the day is
not Jar in the future when steamboats, will
maze regular trips to this point. There is
plenty of room for settlement good land
still remains unoccupied, which can be had
for the taking and paying of Land Office
fees. There is also through this country
very much railroad land which is slowly
settling up; and should Congress pass bill
fixing maximum price for those lands At
81 80 per acre, they would soon be all taken
NJ by actual settlers, aud the country woald
be thereby greatly benefited. There has
been some wood choppns done here this
winter, and between 500 and 600 cords of
wood have been cut OF which about 80
cords are already banked and ready for ship
ment. This wood is all hard wood ash and
maple, mostly ash. Farther up the river
in the neighborhood of tho Davis settlement,
great many cedar shingles are being got
out there being no less than three different
camps. There is also little prospect OF
some mining excitement. A ledge has been
struck, and some of the quartz taken away
for the purpose OF assay. l hereby mention
this fact to show the outside world that we
are not behind the times, even in the matter
of striking quartz lodges. There is to be a
May Day party and dance at Bratton's ON
the first of May. More anon. {.

At the County Treasurers report
We are compelled to come to the
conclusion that there Is renisness
of duty somewhere, which results
in keeping the colored peofis
from getting their school taxes Tor the
support Of their schools, and in mildly
bulldoslng thousands Of oolorsd Repub-
licans out of their votes. 1t is ques-
ton, however, whether these collectors
have not carried ont the letter and
spirit of the law providing for the COL
lection Of taxes better than those who
have collected the taxes, as the law was
amended few years ago in such .
manner that a collector was not after
wards required to call upon any person
for tax who was simply assessed with
a poll tax. OF course these collectors
knew what IL law was for, and they
have carried out It's true intent and Pur'
pose.

ALEXANDER Il. STEPHENS, and Henry
Wa,terson, occupy prominent place
in the politics Of the country, at the
present time, from the fact that they
we're both announced as having in q
certain measure favored the election Of
General Grant and for starting the
Southern Grant boom. They are, how
ever, credited with having met In
Washington on Thanksgiving day, and
that while there Mr.. Stephens crept is-
side Of the folds Of Watterson's great
coat and that the two had an animated
and confidential talk ever the future
of the Presidency. They both agreed
that Thurman was bad leader and
that the attempt to coerce the President
into signing the bill abolishing super
