THE sITUA71oN on THE PACIFIC COAST

LAKES.
THE SITUA 7TON on THE Pa CIFIC COAST
Many in the eastern part of the Union
hear of Portland, Oregon; Kalama, Olym
pia, Steilacoom, Seattle and Whatcom
Washington Territory; and of Puget Sound
and the Columbia river, with but very
general and indefinite idea of their location
Yet few points and figures, may map
them in the mind, with sufficient accuracy
for all practica purposes. For example
the mouth of Puget Sound is in the latitude
of Ft William Tor Of the north shore Of
Lake Superior opposite Isle Royale). 1t is
a dozen miles wide, and makes into the
land eastwardly distance Of eighty miles.
when it branches north and south, forming
the general shape of the letter 7; the letter
of course lying on its side. The north
branch is broad, and filed with islands
About forty miles ap this branch IS What
com on the fine Bellingham bay. About
the same distance down the south branch
is the site of Seattle. at the extremity oi
the south branch lies Olympia, about fifty
miles from Seattle in a straight line. Halt
way between these lies Stettacoona.
| Now sail north from Olympia about nine
ty miles, then turn to the west and sal
about eighty miles, and you reach the Pa
ciic ocean at the mouth Of Puget Sound
Continue the voyage one hundred and sixty
miles due south, and you reach the mouth
of the Columbia river. This is the latitude
of Breckenridge, Mimi, or of the Penoka
Iron Range, Wis, or of a point thirty miles
south of the Sault St. Marie, Michigan
Fifty miles up the Columbia valley in al
east air line you must turn south to follow
the valley further. Just above this bend 9
/ few miles, is HalaDaa, town site planted
we believe. by the L. S. and p S. Land Co
/ Going south some fifty miles or more, and
again the valley turns to the east Above
! this bend, on the Oregon side, few miles
/ up the Willamette, is the City of Portland
/ OF course Portland and Kalama are rivals
/ for the Columbia river terminus Of the y
/ P, and being some S5 miles apart by river
they can never consolidate, as St. Paul and
Minneapolis, or Superior and Duluth hope
to do. When a Kalama, on the Columbia
one is only s. miles south Of Olympia, OF
Puget Sound. Olympia and Seattle, fifty
or eighty miles apart, are the rivals for The
terminus of the \. 2. on the Sound. We
of the eastern terminus may congratulate
ourselves that the head of the lake practic
ally, is only 6 miles wide.

CONGRESS has voted to encourage the
growth OF timber on the treeless wastes OF
the west. Any body who can prove by two
witnesses, that he has nUsed forty acre
grove of trees for ten years, can have a
patent for the quarter section, on which
they stand. And every homesteader who
nourishes an acre of trees on one hundred
and sixty acres for three years, shall have a
patent for the tract. The trees, however
must not be more than twelve feet apart
each way, and must be in thrifty condition.
This measure is confession on the grand
est possible scale, by the whole American
nation, that prairie farming lands are far in
ferior to forest lands; q fact which is doub-
ly noticeable i. the Lake Superior country,
and of which great use should be made by
the proper State authorities of Wisconsin,
and especially by the Railway interest of
Northern Wisconsin, in urging the Swede,
the Norwegian, the Dane, the German, the
Scotchman, the Canadian-and the Amer
lean to settle in the sheltered belt between
Lake Superior, and Lake Michigan.

This result will ensure the building of upwards of
500 miles of new railroads in Wisconsin, during the
