CAMDEN VALLEY. Boise Co, June 18th.
ED. WORI.D:--As you invite correspon-
dence from this "vale in who's bosom The
bright waters meet will enlighten you
10 the extent OF limited knowledge gain
ed by brief sojourn among the warm
hearted people whp infest this portion OF
Boise county.
The logging business is assuming pro
portions that creates the impression that
our timber Is our wealth. There will be
six or eight million feet q logs rim down
from h,rc this summer, and talk of twice
that amount next year The river is acs-
/ ing ugly fir Inc business just now, it hav-
/! ing fallen some two or three feet Just al
The time IT ought to rise.
swamp a boat containing the grub and
blankets Of the loggers, all of which wen
down to feed the fishes excepting sack
belonging to Mr.. Wardwell, which con-
tanned among its contents a bunch ol
greenbacks and life preserver, and was
thereby held up until its rescuer came
Now let the COLLINS say the greenbacks
buoyed the sack and the fish ate the blank
cts. Til res nothing like dissecting and
ldiges'ing what you read.
! The wealth, is quite favorable for the
crops, all Of which look WELL In the Ian
guage of the poet the farmers all say,
E"Bully for The ram
Game is plentiful, or at least it seems
SO, for we see plenty Of hunters who new
er fail to gel deer This is blessing we
could not forcgo, to have good hunters
around to supply us with meat, and we
lpty the people of other countries where
they have game laws. How on earth do
they manage to get olong.
i Fish are getting scarce. We have n
ljoycd the blessing of dynamite too long,
and the finny tribe must soon pass away
The scientific manipulation of explosive,
is fast revontionizing the fishing bust
ness, and we feel that we are living in an
age OF progress. 1t would seem ludicrous
ON a rock with long pole with string
attached to the outer end, and poor lit
tie grasshopper impaled ON a hook and
being Tipped around from one place to
; another with intent to deceive the unsus
{ pecting fish. How cruel men were in the
olden times. just think Of the pangs the
grasshopper must have felt; jusr think Of
the intense meanness of thus deceiSinc
the fish. Dynamite is surely the friend o.
. the grasshopper as well as the Irshman
and it's all the same to the fish 1t ma,

our childr will know how 10 make fish

; and those who love the Lord.

Garden Valley is getting well stocked
with sparkable girls, there being ovel
twenty here who begin to have that "fal
away look in their eyes," besides many
others who have given up calling tor breaC
and butter between meals. Come GU
here, ye miners, and see what the buncl
grass can do in the way of producing
buXom lasses.
! The settlement of Long Valley is an in
teresting topic of conversation, and the
belief is common that it is as good fol
farming as this valley. I hardly think
, that well of it, but it will be settled, sure
