T,,hos thousands thou-sands of acres of land which will pro-!1 duco 30 to 100 bushels of grain, or1 300 to 500 bushels of potatoes to the acre. Crops throughout Missoula county, Montana, were ripe- before the grasshoppers grass-hoppers mado their appearance, and the yield of grain per acre was as large as any previous year. Times aro lively in Lemhi county, I. T., considerable mining going on and good crops in Lemhi Valley. Tho quartz interests in that section are attracting great attention. There arc thirty-three saloons in Walla Walla and only five churches. The saloons arc all well patronized, but the churches arc languishing in fact, one remains closed. |
