NEW Book BY Mrs. VICTOR.-No
one rejoices more over the bright pros
poets for Oregon and Washington Terri
tory than Mrs. f. F. Victor-and no one
person, perhaps, has said or written
things better calculated TO increase an
interest in the prosperity of our State
than this lady-by her contributions to
many of the leading journals and peri
Odicals of the United States. The Orer-
ldRd Monthly for January and FEBRUARY,
We are informed, will contain an arti-
Gle on Columbia river from her pen.
Just now she is engaged upon work
in San Francisco nearly completed, of
over 800 pages, octave, handsomely IL
lustrated, entitled, "AIl Over Oregon
and Washington" That no delay may
attend the completion Of the book, she
has concluded to ask Of our citizens that
they subscribe literally and pay in adj
vance for the work, thus enabling heI
to carry it on without pecuniary embaT-
rassments. The retail price Of the book
after publication will be S3-but TO all
who subscribe in advance the work will
be delivered at s. 80 per cOpy-a small
sum surely-which none who know
Mrs. Victor will hesitate TO pay for Sc
good a purpose. Oregon has been pc
culiarly fortunate in having a writel
like Mrs. Victor take an interest in tho
State, and a generous community will
appreciate her efforts.

Grace Greenwood.

HER IDEAS on WOMAN SUFFRAGE, IN
EFFICIENT SERVANTS AND THINGS
IN GENERAL
Literary stars, among their other
troubles, are likely to be sought after for
their opinions on the prominent ques-
tlons of the day. And il is only natural
that those whom we have known and
appreciated through their writings
should, whenthey visit the homes where
their reputation has long preceded
them, be asked how the new sights and
the new country have impressed them.
In pursuance of this idea a representa-
tive of the Chronicle made yesterday an
afternoon call on "Grace Greenwood
Mrs. LippincOtt,) and was pleasantly
received by that lady. In answer to our
inquiries as to her lecture, announced for
this evening, Mrs. Lippicnott informed
US that in it she would express her full
views of the
WOMAN SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT.
We asked her il she did not believe that
mixing in public affairs and the free
dom of the ballot would have a tendency
TO destroy the domestic qualities of
woman, and, in fact, make her unwOm-
anly. "By no means" said the lady;
''this movement is the logical cOnse-
quence of free Government, and the
womanly woman Will
NEVER GROW UNwOMANLY
BY the assertion of what she believes to
be her rights. The women of the Amer
lean fashionable world" pursued Mrs.
LippOncott, Hare to-day more unwom-
anly than the actors in this movement,
whom they affect to despise. know of
sinnRnGff.. Nj
Howe, Lucy Stone, Mrs. LivermOre and
other prominent movers in the suffrage
agitation. And the ladies of the
REFORM PARTY IN ENGLAND,
Who are concerned in this equality of
the sexes, are as refined and wOmanly
women as any in the kingdom" In re-
gard to the
LOVE OF HOME,
She said that she considered the useless
ness and inefficiency of American ser
wants to be one of the great obstacles to
domestic life. In England the servants
are well-trained, respectful and trust
worthy. In the United States the diff
Guilty in obtaining good servants drives
numbers of families to hotels and board
ing-houses. Their love of home is fully
as strong as that of their brothers and
sisters across the water, but il becomes
almost impossible to make home com
Portable with the class of domestics i'm
this country. Even in the Territories
of the Far West, places but recently set
tied, she had found homes as perfect i'm
domestic qualities as those of England
or the Eastern States.
Her lectures on the "Heroic of Com
mon Life" this evening, promises to
be one of unusual interest.-S f. ChrOR-
icle.

EARLY SETTLEMENT OF OLYMPIA
FThe following account Of the early set
tlement Of Olympia we give for the edi-
fication Of our many subscribers i'm that
quarter: The land claim on which is
situated the town Of Olympia was settled
on by Mr.. Edward Sylvester in the year
of lS45. At that time the whole Puget
Sound country was perfect wilderness,
excepting the settlements Of the Hudson
Bay Company at Nisqually, then in
charge of DIR. w. +. Tohnie, and few
pioneer settlers at Tumwater and the
prairies south of Olympia, who came in
the year before. Mr. Sylvester resided
here three years alone, and i'm 1919 went
to the gold mines in California. Re-
turning early in 1850, he found several
newcomers, among whom were three or
four families, and shortly after his
return he had the town surveyed and
laid out. One or two stores were soon
started, which supplied several lumber
ing camps, and the brig G. w. Kendall.
Captain a. B. Gore, was placed on the
route between Olympia and San Fran
cisco, and a profitable business started
in furnishing the California market with
spars and piles. y large village of In
dians was situated along the bank of the
bay, on the west side of the town. The
road to Tumwater was not open until
1882, and the first bridge was finished

the Columbia river was first established
in lS52-Messrs. Yantis and Rabbeson,
contractors. The Down-Somd mails
were first carried in 1854 by the steamer
Major TOmpkins, Captain J. :. Hunt:
the same steamer was shortly after
wrecked while going into Victoria har-
bor and she was succeeded for the two
years following by the steamer Traveller.
Captain j. G.. Parker The first news
paper-Ihc COiunibi05i-printedn north of
the Columbia river was issued on the
tn OF September, 1852, at Olympia, by
Messrs. Wiley & McElrOy. The Meth
odist denomination had n resident
preacher at that time, but the French
Catholics built the first church, i'm 1852.
The first schOol-house was built in 1853,
the same being constructed at the ex-
pense Of and through the enterprise of
the ladies. The first wharf was built in
1871 by Mr.. Edward Giddings. The
present site remains the landing of the
ocean and Sound steamers. In the fall
of 1888 General !. I. Stevens-then re-
Gently appointed Governor of Washing
ton Territory and Superintendent of In I
dian affairs-arrived overland with his
party Of surveyors and engineers, then .
in the interest of the Northern Pacific .
Railroad Company. In 1858 Olympia 1
was made the Capital of Washington
Territory, and has remained so.
