A.D. Bowen, who is down this week from Stehekin valley for a few days, reports everything flourishing in that new settlement. All those who were fortunate enough to secure lands in the forest reserve have settled on their homesteads, and are clearing out farms. The Lesch [Lesh] and Monaghan sawmill is now in operation in is cutting out lumber for the settlers’ improvements and the timbers for a new bridge over the Stehekin river.

Fred Bowen, of Stehekin, came down on Tuesday’s boat en route to Tacoma.

A.D. Bowen came down from Stehekin last week to spend the winter in Chelan. He states that on the tenth of last February the snow was over eleven feet deep in front of his cabin on his homestead.

Fred Bowen and L. Weaver, who have been trapping up the Agnes mountains, have moved their camp at Rainbow.

Mrs. Carter, Fred Bowen’s sister, was a passenger on the mail boat Tuesday with her nephew, Henry Bowen.
