LONG VALLEY HUMoR.
Your correspondent wishes to give
you sketch of a trip to Long Valley
and few items of news as he gathered
them on the road with his fishing and
hunting experience. The first day we
started about sun down and travelled to
what is known as Box Springs on the
head of Willow creek, camped ard
spread our bed on the soft side of a
sand bar. The next morning started
for Marsh & Ireton got there before
noon and went fishing, fished until four
o'clock but no fish, started out in the
evening for Jim Halls but lost our
bunch of hay and two halters, so had to
60 back after the halters camped at
Blazing Rag no fish, no hunt. Left
Blazing Rag for the summit of the
mountain, started with shot gun went
ahead of the team hunted until three
o'clock not a sign of bird or anything
that could shoot at. Of all the pow
erty stricken countries for fish or game
this is one. l think that l shall not
stay up here very long; came out on
pleasure trip, but it has been more
labor than pleasure. Got to the sum-
NIT by six in the evening, shot one
grouse for supper. Got up next morn
ing and found the horses gone on
ahead they both having been raised in
Long Valley, had to strike out a foot
found them. at High Valley in MIR. Nor
rows corral, rode back, hitched up, and
struck out for Tripod where we were
told that we would get lots of fish, got
there by eleven a. m. fshed until two p.
N. caught five little brook trout ate
dinner, started for Round Valley, got
there in time to boil cup of tea, make
the bed and 20 to sleep, cool and cloudy
all through the whole trip. I forgot to
mention that when we got to the ferry
on the Payette we met small division
of Coxey's army ten of them on horse
back they said they were going direct
to Boise City, if they do Pinkham will
have some new tenants for Hotel de
Pinkham on Snake river. We started
for Long Valley about six miles distant
the weather is delightful. think this
is long letter for the first, will write
you every opportunity.
Tom Black and Co.. have driven 1900
head of cattle in to this upper country
to herd. The cattle belong to differ
emit persons. In the lower valleys they
haye cut up the roads fearfully. P.J.
Smith, the man that ownes the ferry on
the Payette, put the road in fine shape
but the cattle have torn it all to pieces
and now they have got the cattle up
here. The settlers have notified them
to take their cattle out or they will run
them out. The settlers are organized
for that purpose, they have given Mr..
Black and Co., to understand that they
can not bring cattle into this upper
country and eat up all the range feed.
They have given them twenty four
hours time to take them out. so there
is likely to be little time before they
get through with it, we may have to
call on the Gov. for troops to protect
us before this thing is settled. We
wish we were safe in Middleton or
Caldwell. We went fishing Monday
and caught (this is no fish story twenty
fine speckled beauties and oh. how we
do pity the poor folks down there that
cannot get trout. Tuesday we went
out again and caught fifty or more.
We are stopping at the post Office and
have been looking for TRIBUNE for
some time. hope you will send one.
The people up here take the Semi
Weekly Statesman. There is some
beautiful land up here, farms with all
the Improvements on them such as
barns, out houses and dwelling houses
all deserted, the people having gone
off and left them. have q good no
ton to take possession of one OF the
farms and stay up here. l never saw
finer stock country than this is now.
1t is one of the healthiest places this
side of Salt Lake City, but if this strike
is not settled soon, there win be
famine of both sugar and -four. The
store keeper is going to send teams to
salubria for flour so the. people viii
have plenty.
