TIE SNoQUALxIE WAasN Road
Geo. F. Smith arrived yesterday from
east of the Cascade Mountains, bring
ing drove Of 100 head of beef cattle
for Foss d Borst. He will return in a
day or two, and 60 up to the British
Columbia line for the purpose of getting
a drove of 625 head of beeves bought by
him of Ben Snipes, which he will drive

getting along with gratifying rapidity.
They have opened road up which an
ordinary span of horses will haul a load
of 2500 pounds. They are now beyond

reports that i've wagons with parties of
immigrants have lately come over the

coming, and that these people report
