" We spoke, d few days ago, about
new discovery in printing, namely,
Photographic printing. The following
is the way it is done:
A sheet Of geiatine treated with bich-
romate of potash, which renders it sen.
sitive to light, is printed under an or.
dinary Photographic negative. When
the picture appears sufficiently plain,
the Gelatine is taken and made to adhere
by atmospheric pressure TO plate. The
plate, with the gelatine attached, is
placed on an ordinary platen printing
press, and linked with ordinary litho-
graphic ink. As in lithography, it is
necessary to daDspen the plate with wa
ter after every impression; 800 inn
p,essions has been taken without iniur-
ing the plate, and if injured, is replaced
at a cost of a few cents. The process is
in fact what has long been sought-pho-
tographic printing. It can be applied
to the production Of fac SMILES of every
variety of pictures and engravings. sare
prints, portraits, trade circulars, and
can be used in pottery and its kindred
arts

MAIIs.-We thought we were done
with this subject but it seems that things
are not settled yet. Postmaster Burr, of
Olympia, announces it is his intention
to only charter the North Pacific on:e
week to carry the mails from that place
until he hears from the Department.
So that for the present, (the telegraph
lines being down we are cut off from all
communication with the outside world
except once q week, instead of three
times as heretofore. We hope that some
thing will be done soon in regard to this
matter.

Horrible Fate of the Survivors
OF the Wright.

The following letters were received in
Olympia on Tuesday last and were pub
lished in the Courier of Wednesday,
The fate of the survivors OF the Geo. S.
Wright as given in these letters seems
almost too horrible to believe; but the
Courier vouches for the veiacity of Its
correspondent. The only lady on beard
at the time of the disaster Vas the wife
of Maj. Walker. When this story has
been fully investigated ae will give full
particulars:
ALERT BAY, B. c., March 10, 1878.
EDITOR COURIER: this You have,
of course, heard of the fate Of the
Wright, but sadder and more horrible
tale remains yet to be told. Two white
men and one white woman came ashore
on raft, and the men were murdered
and eaten by tribe of Indians known
as the Ioutdnaghs. One body WAS de-
voured there, ard the other body given
to the MaaGldlkatlds. One savage was
seen devoaring the head and neck of
one of the victims. The bodies were
presented to these two tribes By the Otu-
ui-le-hOs, who still hold the white wom-
an for feast. So,ue say that she is dead,
while others declare that she is still alive
and used for vile purposes, and is to be
sacrificed on a certain day. The fate of
the two men is unquestionable, as the
feast was no secret. All those tribes
are practical cannibals, and have been
worse for the past six years than hereto
tore, as they had free license to do as
they pleased while the alabama claims
were pending, aud night be wanted for
cut-throats. What British subjects!
SUwANEE.
EDITOR CouE1ER:-Through the medi-
um of your paper 1 would make the
public aware of the state of matters on
the coast of British Columbia, and the
uncertainty of life and property in
transit through those waters to U. S.
territory. Ere this your readers are
aware of the loss of the Geo. s. Wright
and the murder of American citizens by
the savages near Cape Caution, and
worse still, devoured by those cannibals,
who We're petted while the 44idbcaaa
claims were in question. During that
time six murders of white men and
three riracies have taken place, and al
though complaints have Immediately
and repeatedly been made to the proper
authorities, no notice was taken OF them
The Indians are told openly that to
murder sc Bostons is no crime, only to
do it up to the handle. This country is
cursed with the two elements that caused
all the trouble in Oregon-the Hudson
Bay Co. and the same priests who were
driven from Spokane, and their missions
razed to the ground by U. S. troops, as
being accessory to Indian wars and ad-
verse to the settlement of the country
by Americans. The Indians of this
coast are allowed to do as they please.
They are known murderers, pirates and
|cannibals, yet, when pointed out TO the
authorities, they are not punished. The
cruise of H. NJ. Peterel is a farce, as
time will show. The news Of the disas-
ter did not come from q Hudson Bay
CO. S Fort, although there is one neal
the place. And why did the authorities
take half-breed trader as interpreter

reading Of the future. What telling pro-
the coming three years, say BY the 4th OF
July, 1876. The inhabitants Of the shores
of Lake Superior, aud the country tributa-
rY thereto, may well plan for a recognized
place in the account of national progress,
as summed up at the Centennial Anniver-
sary of our National Independence. Ger
tainly there will be no greater contrast
presented in any part Of the Land, than be
tween The unknown, unsettled, far and in
definite Northwest Of l776, and the we'll
known, world sought, richly developed
Northwest OF 1876.
For the next three years the development
of this region will proceed at an amazing
rate The progress ofthe Northern Pacific,
and he influx of immigration, must work
astounding changes even in three years.
The great road will be quite or nearly fin
shed to the Pacific by that date. The
road along the south shore of Lake Supe-
rior connecting with eastern outlets at the
Sault and Mackinaw, and with southern
roads at Ashland and LAnse, viii certain
ly be finished. The valleys Of the Nis~is-
sippi, Red River and Missouri, will be
thicbdy settled, as also win Northern Wis
consin and Michigan.
We have left out of the account all pa
per railroads, and disputed grants, and
possible beginnings of extensive mining en-.
terpri<es, and take into account only the
Northern Pacific, and Wisconsin Central,
AZ roads 2oac IN this region, and now actu-

But with these alone, sure as they are to
be completed and 70 deveIope the new rich
regions through which they run, it will be
strange iflhe country around Lake Supe-
rior does not show remarkable advancement
in three years from date, and stranger yet
if such an uuriyallcd site as this on which
Superior stands, does not begin to grow
with rapidity in that time, as it is nndoubt-
edly to be the point of union of the two

If with the meeting Of two such roads as

the Milwaukee Company were fulfilled.
We would be obliged to these prophets for
dead sure prediction as to The future OF

waukee company while they seemed likely
to build the road, but we are now in favor
of any other company that will arise and
build
What Mr. Baldwin would have done, II
etc, is cold comfort, and of precious little
consequence What he will do now, is the
question. We believe with others in the
Northwest, that it is Mr. BaIdwin's own
fault that his company did not get the grant
last winter both from Congress and the
Legislature, as he would assuredly have
done had his company gone on and built
the road
WHY build switch of Is miles to Rich
mond, and then sit down to wait for for
tune? Had the Company kept on, no court
or congress would have dqred declare the
grant forfeited. All precedent and equity,
and popular sympathy, would have made
such a thing impossible.
And as it is, men of good judgment think
the only wise and safe course for securing
the grant to its original purpose, is for Mr.
Baldwin's Company to ignore last winters

THE OUTLOOK IN THE SUMNER OF1678.
Let us 90 back six years, and bring up
the state Of things at the head of the Great
Lake, at that time In 1857 there was not
a mile OF railway, nor new village, nor a
settlement Of immigrants, within hundred
miles of the head of Lake Superior. The
Union Pacific Railway was new thing,
thought to be only degree or two more
possible and promising than a railway
across the great desert of Zahara. The
Railway from ST. Paul to Lake Superior
was not even commenced. Banning, its
President, was contemptuously treated
while endeayoring to get hearing before a
farmers Transportation Convention at St.
Paul.
But three years later, or in 1870, behold
the Lake Superior and Mississippi Railway
an accomplished fact The Union Pacific
Road completed one year, and revolution
izing trade and railway progress in Amer
lea The Northern Pacific already begun,
and planning for speedy construction to
Puget Sound.
Three years later, or in 1878, we find
new city at the head of Lake Superior;
new town started at the head of Chegwan-
egon Bay; line of fourishing towns, and
farming settlements all the way from Lake
Superior to the Red River, where bnt late
lv was wilderness and desert. Even now
growing villages are scattered along the
Mississippi Road, and Col. Mattson will
soon arrive. with the vanguard of an army
of Scandinavian settlers, to fill the once
lonely region along its line, with life and
prosperity.
What an encouraging basis is afforded
by these undeniable facts for correct
