can write anything of interest to your
readers about the far Northwest I will
be glad to do so. First I suppose you
wish to knowof the country. Eastern

what I saw as we came through on the
cars, and that was principally sage

A runaway horse took to the sidewalk at Ann Arbor last week and succeeded in demolishing a show case and
considerable merchandise set out in

A slugging match, of real Sullivan-

Ann Arbor last Week. This may be
good exercise for some of the students
but it don't help the fair name of the

The university faculty would not
modify their verdict against the five
sophomore abductors, and they must
bid good bye to Michigan university
for at least one year. This is doubtless
a severe punishment but may have a
wholesome effect in future.

A dog-show chap wl;o was last week
in Teeumseh, making arrangements for
an exhibition of trained canines, is in
grief and a couple of dogs short. It ap-

little stroll out around, and finally
struck the Peter R. Adams farm where

purposes. After passing through the
Cascades and getting onto the Pacific
slope you strike a generally level country, except around the sound and
the banks of the Columbia, mostly
covered with timber but broken by an
occasional prairie. As a general rule
the prairies are not good for anything
excepting pasture, being very gravelly
and drying out badly during our dry
summers. The timber and bottom
lands are of the best, and where anyone has "sand" and backbone enough
to go ahead and clear it up he can have
a garden of Eden of Ms 'own. You will
find old settlers all through the country, some of them having been here
forty years or more. As a rule they
will not have more than a few acres
cleared but they can make a better living off from ten acres here than they
can from 160 in Michigan. They raise
wheat, oats, hops and all kinds of small
fruits. Corn does not do well on account of our cool evenings.
The climate during the summer is
grand, nearly every day being bright
and clear and it is a rare thing to have
the thermometor register above 90 degrees. About 6 o'clock a cool breeze
sets in from the ocean and an overcoat
is needed neai'ly every evening. Not
much rain during the summer but very
heavy dews. The winters are not so
pleasant; plenty bf rain, and last winter
a considerable snow. It was far different from the year before, for when I
reached here in Feb., 1889, flowers
were in bloom in the dooryards.
Centralia is a beautifully situated
town on the main line ofthe Northern
Pacific K. R., 50 miles from Tacoma
and 90 from Portland. It has grown
from a town of 1,200 inhabitants to one
of 3,500 during the fifteen months I
have been here. We are assured of
one new railroad tMs summer (to
Gray's Harbor) and we may get more,
as there are three or four surveying
i parties here now. but who, and what
they are working for no oneknowsonly
themselves. We have eight saw mills,
three shingle mills, two brick yards,
planing mill, sash and door factory,
bottling works now building, four
churches and three others soon to be
built, live hotels, one of them one of
the finest in western Washington, two
banks, two weekly j>apers aud one daily
paper, an opera house, two school
houses, one four rooms and one of six;
also the Baptist Seminary for western
Washington and British Columbia,
which is h. fine building standing on a
sightly eminence overlooking the town.
There are also plenty of saloons and a
great deal of gambling but the people
as a rule are quiet and peaceable and a
person that comes west expecting to
see every man he meets with a six-'
shooter and a. bowie knife in his belt
Mrs. Sarah Aulls HotchMn was born
in Wheeler, Steuben Co., N. Y., June
3,1814 and died May 21,1890. She was
married to A. H. Hotchkin Sep, 17,
1833. They came to MicMgan in 1839
and settled in the town of Lodi, Washtenaw Co., where they lived about 20
years. In 1860 they removed to York
where they lived about the same length
of time. Then they removed.to Saline
where they remained until her death.
She was the daughter of Thomas Aulls,
esq., of Wheeler, N. Y., and was the
youngest of a family of seven children.
She lived to be the oldest in years of
the family and was the last to die. In
early life she made a profession of re-
ligeon connecting with the Congregational church of Prattsburg, soon
changing her relation to the Presbyterian church of Wheeler, coming to
MicMgan she connected with the Lodi
church, afterwards with Saline Presbyterian church with wMch she remained until her death. She was the
mother of five cMldren, four of whom,
two sonsand two daughters,survive her.
One son died at the age of- ten years.
' She has suffered from heart and lung
disease for many, years and has for
some years been quite feeble. During
the past winter she steadily failed until a little over three weeks ago when
she was taken sick in bed with what
proved to be her last illness. Through
it all she has shown exemplary fortitude and resignation, always thinking
of others before herself and seeming
willing and ready for the Master's call.

Two emigrant wagons drove up in

last Sunday at noon, A family consisting of father, mother and three
children, the oldest being a lad of 15
years of age,
four horses, turned them loose to
graze, then proceeded to tight a fire
and make their toilets and prepare a
picnic dinner. They volunteered the
information that just five weeks ago
they crossed the Missouri river, having driven all the way from Nebraska,
losing* a valuable horse on the way
which they had to replace and much
rainy weather to contend with. They
inquired for Charles Marriatfs family,
or Pittsfield, claiming he was tMs
man's brother and said nineteen years
ago they lived in Ypsilanti, proving
their assertions by inquiring about
various personages. It was a novel
sight, carrying one back in imagination

turiug enterprises. For such as those
there is a good opening and sure profits.
One tiling that seems strange to an
eastern man is so many real estate
offices, there being fully a dozen in
town. There have been fortunes made
tlighted, unhitched the j in a lew months on real estate and
there aro just as good chances now as
ever. To sum .the whole thing up I
think there are better chances in the
west than in an older country, but
people who come out here expecting to
find money growing on hushes will he
apt to soon take a "tie pass" for home,
but anyone whoiswillingto rustle.come
