NUMBER XIII.

SEATrLE.-A private letter gives the
following description of the commercial
metropolis of Washington territory.
"As TO climate we have five months
disagreeable weather, muddy roads and
the very worst kind of mud. The busi-
ness streets are planked, or they would
not be passable during the wet season.
The place has about 10000 people.
During the boom three years since there
were many fine houses partially built,
but never completed, among others a
fine hotel, costing 100000 which has
never been opened. Fine private
houses without number are vacant.
There are some fine public buildings
and many beautiful residences. Many
have neglected putting out shrubbery,
and ornamental trees are rarity, as
water is hard to be brought in. The
streets are much neglected all over the
city and want of public interest is
manifested everywhere, by the old
burnt trees and stumps, being left with
the underbrush growing along side the
streets of the city. Such neglect is a
drawback to people settling there"

MOUNTAIN MAILs.-The life of noun
tain mail and express carrier is not a
bed of roses. For instance, Dave Lam
den, who carries the mail between Mt.
Idaho and Warrens makes the round
trip week in and week out in six days,
and traverses long distances each day.
He leaves Mt. Idaho on Monday morn
ing and makes John Day creek, dist
ance of thirty-fve miles. Tuesday he
climbs the mountain to Florence and
descends again to Shearer's Ferry, forty
miles, and on Wednesday he goes
through to Warrens. Thursday he
takes the back track for the Ferry.
Friday to John Day vtd Florence and
Saturday to Mt. Idaho. Such riding as
this, over the longest and toughest
mountain mail route in Idaho, for six
d&ys in the week would scare tender
foot out of his moccassins.

The indications are favorable for the
shipment of whole lot of wheat from
Camas prairie to Lewiston this fall, and
this too, in spite of the fact that there
is not poun too much raised here to
supply the home market. There is a
screw loose somewhere that cannot be
adjusted too soon. Business is conduc-
ted on false principles somewhere,
when wheat is hauled sixty miles to be
shipped back in the shape of -four,
when we have flour mills of our own
complaining of the scarcity of wheat,
There is whole regiment of colored
men stowed away in somebody's wood
pile when things happen thus and SO,
No country can permanently prosper
where such shiftless business methods
prevail.

AS soon as silver dollar is coined it
is put in a burglar-proof vault and fas-
tened in with time-lock Then the
cayotes of the national bank sit around
and howl because that dollar doe'sent
circulate. How can it circulate when
it can't get out.

HAMLET OMMITTED.-A short time
since the chief of the Boise city assay
office made report by counties of
the yield of gold dust in Idaho
territory. The estimate was fair enough
except that Idaho county was entirely
ignored. Next to Alturas-and possibly
Boise county, Idaho county yields more
gold-dust than all of them, and to ommit
us out of the list is an objectionable
oversight.

A MOUNTAIN TRIP.-Left Grangeyille
three weeks since for trip in the
mountains. Pitched our tent first on
Meadow creek, found game scarce and
fishing on the wane compared to what
it has been. Broke camp and proceed
ed to the claim of l.. Castle & Co., who
are mining by the wing-dam process on
the south fork, and found the boys in
high spirits and doing good business.
Game was still scarce, but the fishing
improved. Bear signs plenty in all the
berry patches. AS the slick ear busi-
ness is somewhat risky we did not
bother with that class of stock. The
mountains were totally enveloped in
smoke so it was impossible to see from
one hill to another. In the Buffalo
Hump country we found the finest
huckleberry patches and more of them
than We had ever before seen in any
country. Returned in robust health.
Yours &c, DAvY CROCKETT JR.

MATRIMoNIAL.-If cupid would visit
the prairie and put in little manful
work to bring about events which would
keep his name before the world he
would add luster to his fame as an
industrious little worker. In other sec
tions of this great and glorious union he
causes sweet VOWS to be exchanged
adds to the exchequers of the nuptial
knot tyers, gives the newspapers some
thing to print, increases the trade in
queensware and furniture and casts
aside the gloom which overshadows
many in the midst of these hard times
We hear of him occasionally with his
mythical bow, and will guarantee him
long string ofscalps if he will come up
here and pierce the sentimental hearts
of our young people who are as ripe
for matrimonial slaughter as the golden
wheat in our grain fields is ripe for the
harvester.

SUDDEN DEATH.-Sergt. Wolfe died
suddenly near Grangeville on the after
noon of Monday, of paralysis of the
heart. He had an attack of the COM
plant the previous evening and another
about three hours before his death.
He was formerly stationed at camp
Howard and at the expiration of his
term of service engaged in farming on
the prairie where he has ever since
resided.
