with glass windows, rare thing twenty
years ago. having recently been put up

Save where the midnight eity's pallid glow
Lies like a lily white
On the black pool Of night.

Beneath that glow the lily's heart to me

And by her breast a child.

Territory, which was represented as

POOR MANS PARADISE,
Where land could be had that would
produce all the fruits and cereals of the
temperate zone at Government prices,
and the climate is the most desirable
on the Pacific Coast. The emigrants
reached Colfax in due season, and were
told, probably by interested persons,
that the soil and climate were all that
could he desired. One of the party
sent letter to this office for publica-
ton, giving his impressions of the
country, and what he had been told
relative to it's productions and climate.
This letter generated mild form of
northern fever, which, for awhile, it
was thought, would become virulent
and epidemic in the Spring. Now
letter has been received from another
of the Humboldt emigrants, Samuel
Hazleton, by j. II. Theis, of Big Mead
ows, which may prove to be
AN ANTfDoTE TO THE NORTHERN FEVER.

publish, is dated Crabcreek, Spokane
County, Washington Territory. Janu-
| airy Goth, and reads as follows:
Friend Henry, l do not intend to be-
come resident OF Washington Terri
tory, but will return to Big Meadows
again unless find some more inviting
place on my way back. This is prob
ably good country for those who like
it, but it does not suit me by any
means.
| THE WINTERS ARE TOO COLD
For me, and you think you have winds
in Humboldt, but if you were here for
awhile your mind would be disabused
of that idea. 1t has been blowing a
regular gale here for twenty-five days
without cessation, day or night, and
there is no prospect Of its letting up.
An that is not all. 1t will rain, snow,
thaw and freeze in twenty-four hours.
There will BE- deep snow, then south
wind that melts it off. This is followed
| by another snow and thaw aud a
| freeze. This is what 1 call a severe
Winter, but the people here say it is
milder than usual. Big Meadows is
not such bad place after all with all
its draw backs, and / wish l had stayed
there, and now | am satisfied to return.
GOOD GRAZING COUNTRY.
There is no demand for labor here and
wages are very low As grass grow
ing country this cannot be excelled.
The whole country looks like large
meadow, and | think it is better
adapted to stock raising than anything
else, but old settlers say the grass gets
short sometimes, and the winters are SO
severe that stock die by the hundred.
FROST AT ALL SEASONS.
Cody and Backfan are going to stay
here; they look on the bright side of
things; but for my part | want to live
where l can get out of the house in
Winter without freezing. A gentle
man who has resided here for seven
years, assures me that there has been
seasons in which he had to break ice in

year his crops were killed by frost.
He sold his ranch the first opportunity,
and was very glad to get rid of it.
