No JEALoUsY.--Th Port Townsend
Arqas gives we'll considered leader
under the caption "A Profitable Enter
prise" from whick we extract the fol-
lowing paragraph:
The scheme Of the Seattle and Walla
Walla Railroad never stood IN more
favorable light than it does to-day. The
crash that has fallen upon other railroad
enterprises, and crushed stocks below
values at which they have stood for
years, is friend to our local enterprise
in railroading; because, for while at
least the other railroad OF erations which
werc going on in the Territory have
been stayed, as the substance on which
they were sustained has gwen way,
while that which is depended on to
bnild the Seattle and Walla Walla rail-
road had not suffered"
Port Townsend, it will be remembered
was one of the most promi1 ent compet-
itors for the terminus of the N. P. Rail
road, Seattle and Olympia being both
active rivals with that point and with
each other. 1t was a fair, honorable
business rivalry. all round, free from
jealously or malice, and had either OF
these places been selected, or any other
place upon the Sound with any natural
advantages for a great commercial city,
the journals of these three towns would
have concurred in the decision as unan-
imous as they now condemn a location
manifestly in the interest of ring Of
spectators against the interests of the
railroad and to the great damage of our
entire section of country. This state
ment is sustained by the fact that these
journals have uniformly given their
support to every public enterprise
commenced in either of the other towns.
Notwithstanding this, the subsidized
press of the Railroad Land Ring try 10
make the impression abroad that all the
objections urged against Tacoma es a
railroad terminus are instigated by q
spirit of jealousy and envy by rivcl
towns. This is without the least shad-
ow of foundation in truth. The only
objection to Tacoma is, that it never
was rival town, has no natural adyan-
vantages upon which to make town,
and with all the aid the railroad Can
give it can never become an important
commercial city; the location Of the
terminus of the railroad at such point
was blow aimed at the material inter-
ests and future prosperity of the whole
country bordering upon the Sound, and
is SO regarded by every disinterestsd
intelligent citizen.

Two Coop BoYs.-Hon. S. L. Ling Of
Walla Walla county, living on the
Touchet. near Mullen's bridge, has two
sons, aged respectively 10 and II years.
During the last ten months these boys
attended school five months, and the
remaining time was devoted to work on
the farm. In this period they did the
plowing, narrowing and rolling on land
that has yielded 5000 bushels of grain.
They also put in ten acres of rye, six
acres of haxseed, and broke twelve acres
of fallow land twice. They further cul-
tivated large garden, and did all the
chores about the farm. The only as
sistance their father rendered them was
in sowing the grain. ...- .-

WHAT IT MEAKs.-Some people seem
to think that the result of the recent
election in this State mears the dsstruc-
ton of the railroad companies, and the
confscation of their property. This is
q very erroneus view to take of the mat
ter. 1t means simply this and nothing
more: That no corporate power shall
dominate the government, control the
executive. dictate to the Legislative, or
direct the judicial departments of our
scheme Of State. The corporations.
railroad and other, are put on an eqcal
footing with the humblest individuals
before the law. Let it be understood
that while poor man must not be op-
pressed. neither should wealthy man
be made to suffer because o. his fortune.
Rich and poor, corporations and indi-
viduals, must fare alike. Neither COM
munist nor cormorant has any part in
the recent victory of the Peoples. r.

The FAIR.--If the farmers and horti-
culturists and stock raisers of King
county are beaten in the competition
for premiums at the Fair to come off
this week, it will be through their own
neglect, which will be much more dis.
creditabls to their enterprise and public
spirit than if beaten after putting forth
their best efforts. Thurston, Whatcom,
Island and Snohomish will all be largely
represented in all the departments, and
the people of King county are perempt-
orily challenged to the contest. There
is yet time. and they are not without
the means to save their credit if they
will act promptly. Bring in at oncet
the best specimens of home products
and you may safely challenge the world
to beat them. There will be an agen
here during the Fair to collect speci
mems to send East. o+ s.r

says: ...,

with which they fought us were Of the
latest improved pattern of bresch.load-

CONTRIBUTIONS TO ScALP.-A young
lady who had a scalp torn off by an
cident at New Haven recently, is report
ed as doing finely. The Journal and
Courier says:
The physicians have found thirteen
persons willing to part with small
piece of their cuticle, and the medical
gentlemen have placed the contributions
on the head of the patient with graft
flying result. AS one after anothe to e
unteers to let the doctors clip off p lie
of skin, tho number of those willing to
DO likewise increases, and it looks as if
the girl would have scalp and head of
hair again. The younger physician at
tending first set the laudable example.
KocTENY. From Mr.. Robt. Galbrath,
who arrived from Kootenay yesterday,
we learn that our Southern gold fields
are yielding very satisfactorily. All the
regular diggings continue to yield we'll,
and number of miners have resumed
work on Negu Creek (long abandoned)
with satisfactory results. The markets
are well supplied and living was never
SO cheap before. Flour is brought in
from Walla Walla and sold at e.. cents.
Bacon is drug on the market at IS to
20 cts, and fresh meat abundant at s to
10cts. other things proportionately low.
The result of this is that four and five
dollar diggings (of which there are plen-
ty, can be proftably worked, and 1t is
believed that next season will SEQ the
population greatly increased, and times
better than ever before. The crops
have been excellent this year, and great
progress is being made in agriculture
and stock-raising, for which the country
presents rare natural advantages. The
silver lead recently discovered on Koot-
enay river, by Americans, is thought to
be very rich. 1t il understood that a
sample sent down to San Francisco as

The caution Of the New Englander in

was illustrated to me, says correspond

his pocket. and pulling down his beard,
the iDterrogated one cautiously replied.

Z TraBER STEALINa.-We have received
several letters asking for the proof of
the charges which we made some time
since. that Gen. Sprague, as Agent of
the Northern Pacific Railroad, had sold
permits to loggers to cut timber upon
reserved Railroad lands belonging to
the Government, to which the Railroad
Company had acquired no title, and
with their present location Of route and
terminus could never acquire title. We
are informed that the present Land
Agent. the successor of Gen. Sprague.
finds no record in the Office of the Com
pany of any revenues derived from this
source, and one gentlemen writes us:
81 made the same sort of charges to the
Interior Department, and have since
received letter from the Secretary of
the R. R. Co. denying in toto the facts
charged"
ITO all the enquiries we can positively
say, that we know whereof we affirmed,
snd made no accusation until We were
fully prepared with the proofs to verify
the same. We cannot, and do not de-
sire to drag before the public the names
of witnesses 10 substantiate our charges
in . mere newspaper controversy; but
whenever called upon by judicial au-
tbority, We will give the names of par
6 ties who have received permits from
Gen. Sprague, the amounts paid for the
same, and the persons through whose
hands, ths money passed. We have no
authority to. prosecute in such cases,
but pledgeourself as citizen to furnish
tie testimony upon which suit can be
maintained. If the Federal officers
whose duty it is to look after these mat
tefs do not do their duty N the preml-
ses the fault will not be ours.

well if the press generally would come

have had an opportunity of doing some
good had it entertained the postage
duestion-either agreed to pay postage
at the Office of mailing or at the Office of
delivery. We have come TO the e0nclu-
sion to pay postage ON what we receive
and hope our contemporaries will do
likewise.

large, and we have for sometime felt a
desire of cutting it down, but we have
not.done so until now. The papers to
whom this number of the st. Charles
