stage proprietor in Eastern Oregon and
Idaho, has purchased the interest of Messrs.
Winsor 4 Coggin in the mail contract and
stage line between this city and Monticello,
and proposes to put on first class Concord

and Concord covered wagons on the balance
Of the route, connecting with boats at
Humphreys whenever the stage of water
will permit. He also intends expendiug
several thousand dollars in improving the
road and bridges.
The amount Of travel over this route at
the present time, and the immense increase
anticipated next season, fully justify these
improvements, aud Mr.. Lockwood has the
business sagacity and enterprise to make
the most Of his opportunities.

A Social Nuisance,

The newspaper press Of Washington
Territory does not, we are sorry to say, en-
joy an enviable reputation for purity OF
style, but there is not one which SO often
and so fagrantry offends against social de.
ccncy and propriety, as the ostensiblc or.
gan Of the Good Templars, protested ad.
vocate Of temperance, morality, and the
religion Of "pcace on earth and good will
to men," If the malice, bigotry, and ha-
tired exhibited by that sheet is manifesto
ton Of the spirit of the cause it pretends
to represent, certainly the Prince of Dark
ness can take no offence at the light it
sheds upon community. Its ofcnscs of
the character alluded to have made it a
public nuisance which ought to be sup
pressed under the statute against indecent
publications. Last week that paper retort-
ed upon an offending contemporary vile
inuendo against the chastity Of a woman,
the mother Of respectable family, who
had given the editor no cause of offence !;
an assault so dastardly and outrageous to
every sentiment of manhood as to place its
author below the savage brute that never
wars upon the female of its kind. This
week it makes the erection of a brewery at
Steilacoom the pretext for assailing the
German immigrants, who arc sneered at
under the phrase ga Dutchmau or beer
drinker," and winds up with the following
grouping: "Poor Steilacoom! with the
Insane Asylum, the pcnitcntiary, the man,
moth brewery, and the Pope's foster child
NOT even the !" Terminus" can save her!'
The miserable bigOt and malicious defamer
Of women, could not spare the unof1ending
"Sistcrs of Charity" but must place their
school, in which are educated the daugh.
tors of some Of the most respectable fami-
lies in the country, on par with the pen
itentiary, as an equal social curse. Do
those who sincerely desire to promote the
cause Of temperance aud morality believe
it can be done through the instrumentality
Of vagabond adventurer by assailing pri.
vate character and outraging public deem
cy? As we'll might they employ crea-
ture addicted to selfpollution to inculcate
sentiments Of purity and morality in their
children. r..,i.-.' ...5

Of the Snoqualmie Pass last week, and had
got to point about three miles on the 9TH

them, and concluded there was no necessi-
ty for determining the feasibility of even
a more favorable grade than was required,
ordered return Of the party to the sum.
init for the purpose of fixing upon the To-.

PUGET SOUND WOODEN MANUFACTURE.
ING Co.'s MILL.-The factory is situated
on Chambers Greek, four miles north cast of
Steilacoom. The stream heads about one
mile above the company's improvements,
near the place generally known as Byrd's
Mill, and supplies sufficient water under
twelve feet head to secure one hundred
horse power. A great advantage it pos.
scsses over mountain streams is its steady
volume of water, which is not materially
affected by the seasons or sudden changes.
The water for the factory is conveyed
through GAO feet of fumc, from dam sew.

giving ample power for all the requirements
OF the business. The factory is substan.
tial frame building, so feet wide by 50 10
length. It's five stories in hight, the three
main stories being IL feet, and the two
upper or attic stories feet, in the clear.
The second and third floors are supported
by double row of columns, and the fourth
is self supporting. The floors are double,
II inch matched material, without joists,
making flushed ceilings and floors. There
is one large main entrance and four doors,
hatchway from base to attic with hosting
apparatus, and wide stairway to the four
floors. Each story is amply lighted, there
being eighty-one windows of eighteen
lights each in the building. The first
floor will contain the finishing machinery,
a part of which Is now in place. The sec.
ond story will be the weave room, contain.
ing fourteen looms, all of which are now
up and in place. The third floor will be
the card and spinning room, the cards now
being in position. The remainder of the
building will be used for storing wool aud
drying cloth. Near the factory is the board.
ing house designed for its operatives, a
home-likc building, "a by SO feet in size,
capable of accommodating twenty-five or
thirty persons. The cost Of the improve.

the machinery is on the wharf at Stella.
COON, upon which there is due the add.
tional sum Of $4,000. This, with about
$4,000 to set the machinery in motion, will
prepare the factory for operation. 1t is to

The officers were all on the ground
looking over the cliff, which was fully
from ninety to hundred feet above
the sea, and wondering whether Dick
Poole would have the courage TO carry
out his wild enterprise. Dick exchang-
ed greetings with them cordially, and
brought forward Dan as his companion
de royage. That individual had already
some misgivincs touching the order of
proceedings; and when Dick peremp-
torly ordered him to take Off his
clothes, he showed decided symptoms
OF his courage oozing, like that of Bob
Acres, from his fingers ends. Poole
however, whispered few reassuring
words in his ear. Besides reflected
fright and cold. I've tould the poliss

Dan prolonged his unrobing as much
as possible; but at length he stood
trembling in cuerpo, and before he
could distinctly realize the situation
he found himself on his masters back
CHANGING over his shoulder in mortal
terror, he saw the glazed caps of the
police approaching.
Are they coming, DAM whispered
Dick softly.
'lis, master dear, yis, only hould on

Are they very near us. Dam!
Quite close, Yer honor, responded
Dan, now becoming easy in his mind.
At this moment constable ran for

tried to intercept him. But what was
Dams terror, when Dick clutchcd him
firmly bv the legs, and then with u
shrill 'Whaup' like the war shout If

down under water almost as far as he
had fallen from land The place was
several fathoms deep; and on their
rising to the surface, Dick grabbed his
conrade, and bore him safely TO 4 boat
