About our MAI

We have before stated that there was bai
.Oae. mail route in all Northern Oregon, and
that one is from tho mouth Of the Cowliiz
river to Olympia. We have not complain
ed much about the manner in which the
mad has been carried over this route, altho'
the repeated failures during the wiuleF,
when il might have been carried through,
was sufficient cause for loud complaint
When the people on the Sound arc treated
in the manner they were this week, we
think it is time to sPeak out in their behalf.
According to law, our mail is to leave this
place every Tuesday morning at 6 O'Clock,
This law was grossly violated 90 las, Tues
day. The mail carrier, after taking tho
mail from the Office, concluded 10 have a
spree before leaving town, and accordingly
"goi drunk" and did not leave I'LL IN the
afternoon. About an boqr before he started
be turned the horse loose upon which thc
mail was lashed When his horse was
last seen, few miles from here, the saddle
was turned and the mail bag was dangling
at his feet. The probabilities are the mail
matter is entirely destroyed. Lale in the
evening gentleman came 10 from the prai-
Iie who informed us that he met the mail
carrier about s miles from here riding fsri
oasly towards the COwlitz- The Postmas-
Ter at this place, MIR. Moore, on receipt Of
this information Immediately dispAched
messenger in search Of The lost mail, with
orders 10 cary IL hlough, il he should find
it. This maR contained large number Of
letters, many Of them imPoItaPt business
letters. IL this state Of things is to continue,
p oPle will no longer ilust their letters 10
go in the government mail, but will be
compelled to send them 10 the Cowlhz BY
private conveyance. We hope the Con-
tractor will be made to suffer 10 the tune
OF $1,000 for this violation Of contract on
the part of his "man Friday.''

Most undoublCdly, Al must
be attributed, primarily, 10 the great natural
lndncementSan aud advantages Of the country.
Il cannot be conlroycrted that the mildncss
and healthness of our climate, and the fer
tlty of our soil has been the load stone Of
attraction to hundreds Of immigrants. It
must not be denied that the abundance and
excellence Of our timber, the great adyan-
tage Of Puge, Sound for shipping purposes,
together with our inexhauslible fishing re-
sources have alurcd many enterprisng MGR
chants to engage in the business Of the
Sound. It cannot be conIradictcd that the
liberal provisions of the Donation Law has
had its effect, and that the abundance Of our
coal has attracted, and will continue 10 at
tract capitalists into our country. Still, that
any and all Of these causes may have the
effect of inviting immigrants and capital, it
is necessary that the facts be known. And
let us ask in what manner can all the facts
connected with our natural advantages be so
well made known TO the world, as through
the medium of the press?
The establishment OF a newspaper in
Olympia has done perhaps more for North
ern Oregon during the term Of Us present
existence, than could have been effected by
its citizens alone, in three times that length
Of time. When, therefore, you are strain
ing your nerves to do something TO hasten
the growth of the country, how much il be-
comes you 10 look well that your pioneer
newspaper is literally supported. It is on
ly necessary that knowledge Of the nAtu-
raj advantages and Resources Of this country
be spread abroad, among the people of the
States, to secure the immigration and settle
ment Of industrious and enierprisiRg Amer
can citizens amOng US. Men of public
spirit, patriots, and SPECTATORS, who wish 10
see Northern Oregon rapidly peOpled, II is
your duty and interest TO exert yourselves
for The promotion of every measure Of pub
lie advan'Age-IO scatter interesting facts in
relation 10 this country abFoad-lO aid, ac-
cording to your means, in opening an cmi-
grant road across the Cascade mountains
north Of the Columbia, and in opening suit
able and necessary roads throughout the
country generally. These, and many other
measures, will serve greatly towards hasten
ing the population and improvement Of our
country; and, m looking aBou' you for ,hc
means ofsecuring their accomplishment,
you must not overlook that powerful engine,
The PRINTING PRESS, nor neglect to give il
a prOPortionaieIy liberal, hearty and sub
hantial support. ....t

letter received frOm'a gentleman Who Ia.
just returned 10 this country from China,
relative to the feelings of the Japanese' TO-
ward the expedition expected from the
United States. tuo io LIN f1slrd7 .r-
'3i"I was iniormedlb gentleman, ma
tive of Japans that the Emperor is ready
for The American expedition. He exhibi-
ted letter to me, which he had Just receiy-
ed from one OF his countrymen, then on the
island of Jeddo. The people kept a strict
lookout all over the coast and their 6res
were already burning on the mountains Of
night, in order to be prepared in case the
squadron should appear at night, One
million Of soldiers are ready and at hand.
The coast is all set with guhs, while in the
bag Of Jeddo, where the feet is expected,
there are countless war junks, and the whole
bay is surrounded with innumerable forts.
Tho expedition will find the japanese much
better soldiers than they anticipate.
The presents had better have been lefi at
