RI sppnlence ENTERPRISE

VALLEY OF THE NooKsAcK, !
December 20, 1882.
Still our valley is filed with lite and
activity. 1t will soon tcem with an ener-
getic, industrious people. Business men
ot all kinds are tiudlng their way to the
various points on the liver. Many differ
ent enterprises are being entered into.
During the past week parties have been
prospecting the Nooksack, having in view
the building OF one or more light draught
steamcrss, capable of navigating the
stream NJ all stages of water, and making
regular trips once or twice each week. A
Mr.. Thornton has just visited Lynden,
one present head CT steamboat navigation
on the river, for the purpose "i finding
persons 10 take shares In a steamboat,
whcl, he proposes to build Immediately.
Have been informed that he " as quiie sue
crssiul, as IL number have already prom>
i-ed To take stock.
A good deal is also being said with re-
gard to the jam which has been accumu>
lating for some past between the Upper
Crossing and Lyndeu. Fears are enter>
tanned by men of observation and oXpcri>
ence that unless its removal is soon nc
complished, it Is more than possible that
at some unusual iise oi the river the wa
ter may cut channel through certain
section of low land lying between it and
the Frazer river, and thus it nigh, easily
bid us alicu. The pent up waters are a;
present finding means OF exit in various
ways.
VI. A. Mcpherson has been spending
considerable time i'll examining the vast
extent of rich extent OF swamp land con-
tiguous to Lyndcn. His investigations
with regard t. natural water courses have
been quite extended. His purpose is to
ascertain the most Efficient and pra icablc
means Of draining II considerable extent
of exceilcn; farming and pasture land.
The colony logging camp at Lynden is
prospecting finely. believe they succeed
cd in securing the logs lost some time ago
by the bursting ot n boom. They purpose
having good sheer-boom constructed d,
the mouth OF the river.
Lust but not least, take pleasure in
mentioning that for period of between
two and three weeks the people Of Lyu-
den enjoyed .he privilege Of listening to
Elder G. l.. Boyd, OF the Seventh Day Adj
ventist faith, OF Salem, Or. lie delivered
in all, | believe, "a discourscs and lee
lures. These were brought to close on
the evening of Sunday, Dec. 18th. The
attendance was quite good, con sidering
the condition oil tue roads and the almost
continuous rain. A very favorable i'm,
preston is lett ON the minds of those who
listened to Elder Boyd. His expositions
OF prophecy, which lie illustrated by
means OF charts, are spoken of by many
as being highly instructive and interest :
ing. Elder Boyd intends ~ purchase a
new tent the coming spring, to be used mt
various points on the Sound, so that
many who have heard but little regarding
the peculiar views taught by Seventh Day
Advcn,ists may have the opportunity OF
listening for themselves GL,UD.

sight OF a mule with a colt. The
mule had been running in the mou' :

she was t-:ken up and put to work
When found, sue had the colt with
her and there is no doubt that she is
the genuine mother, as she suckles
tie colt and exhibits in a remarkable.
way her affection for it when it is
bat removed few steps from her,
net even out of sight. She has a
large udder, and the gentleman driv-
lag her, in proof that she was the
brother of the colt, MIXED her. We
also had the qualification of seeing
the little fellow help himself to his
diancr. The mule belongs to the
Oven Min and Mining Company of
Centennial District, and has been
driven to Phenix, a distance of one
AMI fifty miles in three
days, the cot, which is not over two
