For the SrAxDshb-
The Loeal uonenclature Of the Ter
ritory.
(Couclude6-)


ntory.
(Concluded)
The various bodies Of water comprising
the great inland system to which the
Straits Of Fuca (or Anian) is tho inlet
have received different names, such as
Admiralty Inlet, Puget Sound. Hood 8
Canal. Bellingham Bay. Port Discovery
DeHaro Channel, Budd's Inlet, &c. Yet
a. I have before remarked, as a whole,
this great inland sea has no name; al
though it is known at home and abroad
by the general name" Puget souno' which
il q ridiculous misnomer. Puget Sound
proper is only that small body of water
lying between the Narrows" and Budd's
Inlet, on which Steilacoom is situated,
and was so uamed in honor of one Peter
Puget, an underling of Vancouver. who
was sent by that navigator to explore it,
and do not see that the name is so meri'
torious or SO expressive as to warrant its
being extended to the whole great system.
I suppose the way this name acquired
its present extensive application was
somehow thus: the Hudson Bay Compa-
ny's station, IT. Nisqually, and the U. S.
military post, Fl. Steilacoom, being stu.
ated on it's shores, Puget Sound was the
first Of these waters to become extensively
known. Hence the name gradually came
to be extended to all the waters connected
with it to the ncrth and tn the sonth. 1t
10 time, however, that this name were su-
pended by better one. 1t is certainly
very disagreeable to hear folks down here
talking about Pxggut SQUAD, and P&gety
Sound, and the like. Theodore Win
tarop calls theee waters "Whulge,"
a. being the Indian name, aud says
"Whulge is worthy Of the scandinavian
SAVIOR Of it, name. Its cockney misnomer
should be dropped. Already the critical
world demands who was Puget. and why
should the title be saved from Leihe and
given to sound. Whulge is vast ford,
parting rocks and forests primeval with q
mighty tide. Chesapeakes do very well
for oyster fandums and shad fisheries
but Whnlge has picturesque Significance
a. much greater a. its salmon are superior
70 the osseous shad Of the east" This
name "Whulse" might answer better
than " Puget" but still, l do not like it.

As for the names OF the towns, they are
mostly satisfactory. though some of them
arc sometimes laughed at as baibarous,
and most people presist in calling Seattle.
" Settle" Sattle," " Satle." or Settle"
and l have even heard it pronounced
" Sattalatta." l don't believe it would
hurt the prospects of this place to change
the name, or at least spell it differently.
That name Pekin," however gets me.
Kamtschatka is preferable. "New York
of the Pacific" is fortunately defunct.
As for rivers, l sec no necessity for two
or three Black, Green, and White rivers.
Black river, King Co., being the outlet of
Lake Dawamish, and forming, with White,
Dawamish river, should 60 by the latter
name. The original name Of DesChutes
river, is Stachess; Of White river, Ska
mish or stakamish--Wilkes calls it Sma-
locho; Of Green river, Nooknoe Nuke
NAY; and Of South Cathla poodle. Tekalet.
The great lake back of Seattle (vulgar-
ly denominated "Lake Washington ") is
usually styled Lake Dawamish, and some
times, Sawamish or Atsarka. My vote is for
the last. The lake east Of this is indiffer-
emily called squak, Samamish or Noquiaka.
Either Of the two last would answer.
The name of the little lake at the base of
the Kitsap 20. triangle (rxlgo Mason's)
is Kellam or kelm.
Now word about the mountains and

ceives its name from the cascades Of the

To the Citizens of the City:
We have daily evidence before US that there
exists in this city a numerous class of persons of
all sizes, colors, sexes, and descriptions, whose
only vocation is to rob- pilfer and steal from the
industrious class of the community. ~
| The limited police force, at present, under my
control (although ample for ordinary occasions J
having large range to traverse throughout the
night in order to accomplish their rounds through
the different beats of the city, is not expected to
be in close proximity to any building dwelling
that may be entered and robbed. 81
The night thieves watch closely the movements
of the police, and being constantly in close com
munon with confederates, are thus enabled to
elude their vigilance, and penetrate any building
or dwelling they may choose to designate.
ask the cooperation of the citizens in this, that
they be particularly regardful to the fastenings of
their doors and windows before retiring at night
Especially the back entrances to provide them
selves with the necessary means 6fdefense, and to
use such promptly and effeetually when necessity
demands it, ffEft 'l4 - tlsa :
| would also caution the heads of families, in
reference to the employment of strange and unre-
commended servants, to act in any capacity in
their family residences. My short experience, as
Mayor of this city, enables me to say that very
many such obtain positions, and remain just long
enough to lean the usage of the family, the geo
graphy of the house, and the whereabouts of the
valuables, alter which, framing some paltry ex-
cuse, abandon the employment. A few days after
you are likely to hear that robbery has been
committed. Comment is unnecessary.

H. v. ToMPKINs, Eso.-There is an ex-

of the management and estimable qualities of
this gentleman, which we have no hesitation
whatever in endorsing.

allusion to the rumor that portion of the
machinery of the Leary had been removed.
This report we received from what we regard
ed good authority And, as there could be,
in our estimation, but one reason for such a
precautionary measure, we stated what we
conceived to be that reason-viz: to prevent
the departure of the boat. We had no refer
ence to any individual whatever, in what is
termed by the Old Dominion, our ''inuendoes. y
We confess our surprise that our contemporary
should have construed our language into a
personal reflection on Mr.. Tompkins; and
wish the Old Dominion explicitly to under
stand that we do not indulge in ''inuendoes +"
When the Day Book designs to assail any sys-

clsm on individual action, it will put its mean
