There are lots of hops yards here.
My son has 5 acres of, volunteer
potatoes on ground that he raised
potatoes on, last years. This year
they @have=.not cost him more than
two dollars per acre to tend them
and expects. to get 1000 bushels.
He has been offered $l7 per ton, but
he won't contract as he thinks he.
will get $50. and perhaps more in
the fall. They look fine, now. He
has pear trees only 2 years old with
z or dozen pears on each tree. He
says after man raises crop of
fruit he does not want to sell out at
any price. My son showed me fruit
trees that: had grown three feet this
season and he said they would grow
three feet more this season. They
are now selling raspberries just as
last as they can pick them.
Everyone seems satisfied with the
country and none have the Canada
fever. It hardly ever freezes here
so they can't plow. Today is about
as one as one ever sees it in Mar
shall'Co., and so dry the dust al
most sutfocates one when out on the
road. We saw one mill in Ballard
cut boards or feet wide and we
saw log, that when we stood be-
side it we could not reach the top
of it. Everyone here seems to be
prospering.
The day we went fishing we saw
an Indian lying beside the road.
My son said he was drunk, but a
little while after it was discovered
that he was dead: The Coroner
said his horse killed him. The sto-
ry here is, that every time (and
that's quite often) that one is found
dead it is. an accident. The stream
that comes down from the west and
flows into the Yakima river is the
boundary line of the Yakima reser-
walton. On the east is the reserva-
tion and west is the white SETTLE
ment. The, stream seems to follow

way sosthe whites getsalI Tx farm.
ing land. This is a very rich val.
ley. Twenty acres is big farm.
Many have no. more than one or two
acres and still live and seem to be
doing we'll, but we do not think we
can be persuaded to leave Spruce
Valley yet for a while. If we were
young it might be different. One
would have to live here two or three
years before he could catch on tc
the way of farming. as even 2Oacres
looks like small farm to us, al.
though we think tits fine place tc
live. Any and every thing grows
here if they !. can only get water
enough on it. One living there can
hardly believe here unless one car
see-for himself, =. @
We do not know how. soon We
shall be home but we think it will
be in the near future.
