anconNer, sept. IL, 1851.
The valley 81 Chelatchie embraces about
three thousand acres. Not quite hall OF it
prairie, the rest being covered with 4 thick
under growth OF brush and some small tim
Der. The soil is a rich a%lluvial, and the time
is not far distand when this will be one of
the most thickly settled, and prosperous Sec
tons OF the County.
Gold hunters nave already discovered en-
couraging prospects in streams and on the
surrounding hills, and it will not be strange
if the precious minerals are yet found there
in paying quantities. On the south side the
hills do not rise so abruptly as on the other
boundaries, and there is still little or no
green timber until You reach the general
level of the high lands, a distance Of about
two miles. A road has recently been opened
from the prairie in this direction, leading
past Warmers saw mill and through the Ca
hill and Eatonsettlements, which materially
shortens its connection with this part of the
country. Along this road and in around
Yacolt prairie many desirable claims are yet
to he taken.
In the Eaton settlement and its vicinity
considerable progress is noticeable. New
buildings appear here and there, indicating
the claims OF new settlers. Homes are be-
ing improved, gardens and orchards are be-
coming larger and more productive, while
meadows and grain fields now occupy the
place where but a short time since the forest
waved in gloomy solitude. The educational
advantages are comparatively good. For
the past few years the average term has been
about five months, and the prospects are
that this time will be considerably heightened
the coming year. 1t is taught this summer
by Miss Alice Lyons, and at the time of my
visit, was well attended aud seemed TO be
prospecting. Crossing from here to the Ben
nett district, a distance OF about five miles,
you pass through alternate portions Of green
and burnt timber the former predominating.
Like the other portions OF the Lewis river
country this part is rolling and well watcred,
The soil is also good yet there are but few
settlers along the way.
In attempting to cross by the OLD and
direct route it was found that a portion of
the road had not been cut out since the Jan
uay storm, and as a consequence the day
was far spent when the writer arrived in tho
neighborhood, and put up for the night at
the pleasant aud comfortable nome of Justice
Buchanan. In this neighborhood, new
homes are also being established, and the
dense forest is gradually giving way before
the sturdy arm of the industrious pioneer.
But educational matters are not prosperinr
so well; not for the want OF a good teacher.
not on account of a lack of funds: but local
discussions have crippled the school and
some bright promising youth will go out into
life with dwarfed powers and darker pros

A WEDDING occurred at Oregon City last
week-the contracting parties having many
friends and acquaintance in this city, where
the bride lived for several years, we give
the following account of the pleasant affair,
from the Oregon City Enterprise;
Last Saturday afternoon Sept. 4th Mr..
Fred. r. Chairman and Miss Minnie G.
Cochran were united in the holy bonds of
matrimony at the residence Of the brides
parents by the Rev. J. w. Sellwood. Both
have been raised here from childhood, and
unanimous are the expressions of goodwill
for their future happiness. The wedding
was unostentatious; none but relatives of the
family being invited, but they were a goodly
number, coming from Portland, Washington
Ter, &C., After the ceremony the happy
couple drove to the station where an i'm
mense number of friends were waiting to
bid them "a pleasant voyage through life,
and an agreeable trip to San Francisco,
whittier they are going to spend the honey
moon. Many valuable presents were made,
but too numerous to mention in detail, one
being a massive silver tea set. We unite
with the host OF friends of the happy bride
and bridegroom in wishing that in their ca
reer through life it may be unusually free
from care and disappointment and that it
may be as full of sunshine as is consistent
with true enjoyment.
