for the Sound had started at six o'clock, it
still remains, if not sent back to San Fran

mcdiaIely to us upon its arrival at Rainier ?
The injury is positively unbearable, and the
people can submit to ii no longer.

Operations Lave now fairly commenced
On Tuesday last MeSsrs Whitfield Kinley,
Edwin Marsh, Nelson Sargeant, Paul Rud
dell, Edward Miller, J. w. Fouts, John L.
Perkins, Isaac NJ. Brown, James Alyerson,
Nathaniel G. Stewart, William Carpenter,
and Mr.. Clyne, started from this place for
the Yakima, to begin at that end Of the route
and work westwardly.
To-day Mr.. E. J. Allen and twelve or
fifteen others will leave Steilacoom to COM
mence at the westward extremity and work
eastwardly. Stout hearts and willing hands
have taken hold, and there is not doubt
but that the road will be passable for wag-
Ons in twenty-five days. Towards defray-
ing the expense of constructing the road, it
is hoped that King, Island, Jefferson, Lewis,
and Pacific counties will contribute as lib
orally as ThursIon and Pierce have done.
We repeat our advice TO the farmers, 10
husband well their crops, take care of every
thing, and provide as much shelter as posi-
be- 1t will all be needed when the mm,
grants arrive.
