Wood River.
Salt Lake Herald.


WOOD river IS said to be one Of the
finest regions on this coast that re-
mains unsettled. There are 4o 900
acres Of agricultural lands SURVEYED
now awaiting the husbandman's ener-
gy to make it an Eden. Contiguous
to these valleys there is an unlimited
stock range, with plenty Of cotton
wood along the streams for fuel and
fencing, and in the near mountains
there is an abundance Of pine and Fir
suitable for numbering purposes. The
Climate is exceedingly mild; adapted
to the production of all the cereals
and vegetables that are cultivated in
the temperate zone. The market is
one of the best. There are also. in
the adjacent mountains, vast fields OF
argentIferous sulphurets of galena.
A'number of these lodes or belts have
this season been discovered, and pros
pecting will be carried on extensively
next season. Wood River is on the
line Of the Utah and Northern. There
are already ten or twelve farms loca.
ted, and it is safe TO say in the spring
of 1880 the whole valley will be occu.
pied. The great difficulty heretofore
that prevented the settlement of this
country was the hostile Bannocks
claimed it as their reservation. But
the late Bannock war settled the diff
