PRoDUcT OF A SINGLE FOREST Thru
The Courier gives the following as an
average yield of timber in our fir trees.
The result will surprise some of our
readers in the Atlantic States: From q
single tree, in Franklin Street, near
Maple Park, Mr.. Elliot says he has
sold g. cords of bark, and IS cords of
wood at "a per cord making sos. He
worked up lis feet of the tree and
there remain 1873 feet which will, when
cut into wood, net as much more, max
ing in all $196 the proceeds from one
tree, which was only 25G feet in length.
From this person Eiay estimate the
value Of some of our forest trees which
are over 300 feet high and to II feet
in diameter.

SrocK STILL DY1NG.-The Walla Wal
Ia Onion says that the cattle are still
dying in almost all parts of the coun-
try, although they do not go so fast as
while the late severe weather lasted.
1t is impossible, at present, to make an
estimate of the percentage of loss-the
owners do not in many instances know,
for they do not know whether all those
that can not be found are dead or only
strayed. AS to whether or not there is
to be much further loss depends alto
gether upon how the weather turns.

Court. The U. S. District Court
has been in session the past week.
But little business has been transacted.
Several cases on the civil docket have
been continued, and others have gone
by default, making the proceedings de-
void of interest. Indictments have
been presented against Dabney Jonesf for
the murder of Taylor and against In
dian Harry for killing doctor of his
tribe, named Jackson. Several add
tional Grand Jurymen have been drawn
on the part of the United States, but

SETTLE. An occasional correspond
ent writes us from Seattle:
That Mr.. Garfielde was there few
days ago to confer with ship builders in
reference to the construction of Il
steamer fer the Sitka mail service. Mr..
Hammond, naval architect, and Mr..
Bo!in, machinist, will probably have
charge of her construction, if she is
built. These gentlemen have, likewise
prepared models, drafts and specihca-
tons of Capt. B.inn's proposed steamer,
to run from Olympia down daily
The model is a beauty. Parties here
are quite confident the required amount
of stock will be taken.
/ There is no doubt but that fifteen o,
twenty miles of the Seattle and Walla
Walla Railroad will be built this sea-
son.
The coal mine lately opened on Smith
er's place is, without doubt, the best
steamboat coal vet found on the Pacific
Coast, and will equal any for steam
purposes. The company is organized
on something like the co operative plan,
and subscriptions to stock is solicited
only from consumers. Canvasscrs are
at work in san Francisco and Oakland
with marked success. The coal and
railroad companies will together com.
pletc the road to the mines soon as the
weather permits.

New VOLUME. The Seattle Daily
Dtspa'ch entered upon new volume,
and the fourth year of its existence this
week. In noting the fact, Mr. Brown
says: We cannot say that the expert
ment has been pecuniary success, but
it has come rs near to it as we could
reasonably expect under the circum-
stances. While it has cost us, ont of
our earnings from ether sources, every
dollar we have paid for Geographic dis
patches, we have the satisfaction of
knowing that it is the only newspaper
in Washington Territory that can pay
for dispatches, and that we have con-
tributed over fifteen hundred dollars in
coin to the general prosperity of our
town." We congratulate the citizens of
our sister town that they have SO enter
prisiny and wide-awake an advocate of
their interests, and Mr.. Brown that he
has an abundant income from other
sources to stand the constant drain
upon his pockets.

Housekeeping Hints.

Never put particle Of soap about
your silver if you would have it retain
its original ]ustre. When it wants pol.
ishing, take piece Of soft leather and
whiting and rub hard. The proprietor
of one of the oldest silver establish.
1nents in the city of Philadelphia says
that ''housckeepers ruin their silver by
washing it in soap suas' as it makes it
look like pewter
Stove lustre, when mixed with tur'
pentine and applied in the usual man
ner, is blacker, more glossy, and more
durable than when mixed with any
other liquid. The turpentine prevents
rust, and when put on an old rusty
stove, will make it look as good as new.
TO extract ink from cotton, silk and
wooden goods, saturate the spots with
spirits Of turpentine. and let it remain
several hours; then rub it between the
hands. 1t will crumble away without
inuring either the color or texture o1
the article.
