THE RESERVED RESOURCES. Stevens county, of this Territory, is an empire in i'seif Sketching from the Cascades to tfie carter i it comprises about the p. lire area of the Terntory It rather represents the 111 called lor surplus If of the Tcrri ory. and creams the ma terial out of which is to lie carves! a dozen opulent of the fu'ure Begi lining on the west we find within its bounds the great valleys of the We natchee, Enteatko, Chelan, Metliow, Okanagon, CoWille, Spokane, etc none of which have yet been pen led to any great extent, not from want of advantages for making a livelchood, but from want of settlers to occupy them Of the named valley, we repro- duce some descriptive nates from a of a Portland pajier. The writer states that "The region is almost entirely a rolling country, perfectly destitute of timber except a few scrubby pines along creeft, Hangman's creek and the Spokane river, bat the soil wherever cultivated yields the most wonderful crops of wheat, barley and oats; frequently 00 to 75 bushels of wheat to the acre is obtained, that with thu poorest kind of furming At Campbell's ranch on Pine creek we saw the finest vegetables we wver saw any where, also tobacco, grapes and fruit trues in tho most flourishing condition.

Post is building a very substantial grist mill which, when completed. will be a great convenience to the people who now have to go to Colfax to get their grain ground, a distance of 0:1 miles. A North Pacific railroad or some other outlet, is all this country needs to place it in the front rank of wealthy flourishing States or Territories." As these great agricultural valleys become rapidly peopled they will ur a stream of productions into the towns wh-re they have outlet, mid build up there great manufacturing and cour menial industries which ndl sustain a large city population. This region will peculiarly the domain of the Seattle and Walla Walla railroad iu future, as it so l.tr narth that road intercept all competitors on the south for its tributary trade WIDE REACHING SOLICITUDE. Wi'h a considerate regard that is embracing in its concern and a disinterested ness that is truly refreshing, the Portlaud Board of Trade Report under the sub-head of Oregon Hailroads." that "excepting the extension of the Puyallup branch of the Northern Pacific railroad (which will develop the coal industries and hop products of the Puyaliup valley) and the opening of the Seattle railroad to the coal luiues, we have bad no further railread extensions nor have we during the past year, had any other public or State improyrnauts inaugurated." SHERMAN ON The Lieut-general in bis report to the Secretary of War, dated 8.

Army headquarters, Big Horn river, Montana, "The country west of here is a good couatry and will rapidly fill up with emigrants." This is the region west of Bismarck, the present western terminus of the Northern Pacific railroad, aud furnishes another strong argument in favor of the prosecution of that road. TELEGRAPHIC.
