O'Clock yesterday morning Mr.. Kimbal,

place, and aware of the danger, they
hurried along to reach place Of safety
which was but short distance from the
scene Of the accident. Suddenly they
heard q sound al of thunder--the ava
lanche had caught them--Kansas John,
who was about six feet behind his un-
fortunate companion, escaped unhurt;
Kimbal saw the slide coming, but was
unable to save himself, he was heard to

9 The Lake Superior and Puget
Sound Land Company. a Maine corpor.
alton, organized to buy town sites ON the
line Of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road. and to deal in lands generally on
or in the neighborhood of the line, is
to be wound up and go out Of existence.
The necessity is said to have arisen from
the hostillties of the directors of the
Northern Pacific Company, these gem
tlemen having refused from the start to
sell the Town Site Company an acre of
land, or to promote their success in any
way whatever. An arrangement was
made last Thursday between the two
companies that the Town Site Company
should sell enough of its stock to give
thu Northern Pacific Railroad Company
the control of its organization, and
should part with all the land it owns
along the line of the road and elsewhere
at fair prices, to be paid for in Railroad
Company's bonds. These lands will,
we are told, be thrown into the General
Land Department of the Northern Pa
cifc Company and be sold as its other
lands are. The Railroad Company will
surrender the charter of the Town Site
Company. The bargain made is said
to be hard one for the Northern Paci-
fic; but its directors found it necessary
to remove all occasion for talk about q
" Land Ring" within their organization.

How TACoNA Is REaARDED.-The Du-
luth Mimesotian, the first recognized
organ of the N. p. Railroad at Duluth,
notes an article from the DISPATCH Of
January Sth, as follows:
Articles of incorporation have been
fled in the Office of the Secretary of
the Territory, of the Tacoma Land
Company of which Theodore Hosmer
is the resident Agent. The property Of
this Company embraces the town plat
of the new town of Tacoma. which has
been represented as belonging to the N.
P. Railroad Company. The records
show that those representations were
false and fraudulent; that the Railroad
Company has no interest in the town
and that its means and corporate name
have been used by dishonest agents for
the benefit of private spectators. Un-
der more faithful management the whole
rotton scheme will soon be repudiated

A VALUABLE Coal MME.-Mr. p. n.
Smithsrs has sold his coal mine. with
$50 acres Of land. to Mr.. Ruel Robinson,
for $25, 900. Mr.. Robinson has also
purchased adjoining lands from Robert
Abrams and Mr.. McAllister. to the
amount Of nearly $4,000, making his
purchases aggregate about $35, 900. and
it is the opinion of expert coal miners
that the property is worth a great deal
more than the price paid for it.
This mine is situated between Cedar
and Black rivers, near the confluence of
the two rivers. about ten miles south
east of Seattle, and not over one.half
nile. ever level ground, from the waters
connecting with this harbor, navigable
for light draft steamers. The mine. as
yet, has only been prospected. but it has
been developed, beyond doubt, that it is
the most valuable coal deposit ever
opened upon the Pacific coast, both in
quality and quantity. It is in a hill
between two and three hundred feet
high, with the coal extending below the
water level as deep as has yet been ex-
plored and to within few feet Of the
surface on the top of the hill, in hori-
zontar layers from six to ten feet in
thickness. which has been traced from
the foot of the hill on the Black river
side to tbs foot of the hill on the Cedar
river side, distance of about two miles,
which is covered by Mr.. Robinson's IS
purchase. A level of about thirty feet
half way to the top of the hill, discloses
perpendicular face of coal of about 20
feet upon a horizontal vein. Like all
other coal deposits. this coal improves
in quality the further it is from the
surface. Several others besides ourseli
have burned coal taken from this mine,
and all concur in pronounciDg the best
coal for domestic uses and for steamers
they ever found in this country. 1t is
nearer of an anthracite character than
any heretofore found upon the Pacific
coast, and the experts who have exam.
ined the mine express their firm convic-
ton that it will lead to anthracite.
Mr.. Robinson proposes to organize a
joint stbck company to work these
mines ind providing facilities for COM
veyinE the coal to market, and to com-
mepfe active operations very soon.

Vocal AND TRANSPORTATION COMPANY.
AS q matter of public interest, we
would earnestly commend to the favor
able consideration of our capitalists,
traders, property owners and business
n en- generally, the plan of operations
proposed by Mr.. Ruel Robinson for
working the coal mines to which we al

opement of the coal mines on Cedar

Company, is about being incorporated.

Upon the conditions above stated
alone ire subscriptions solicited. Esch
share holder. it will be observed, on the
payment of fifty dollars is guaranteed
six tons of coal a year at four dollars q
ton-half the usual price-which is
nearly equal to fifty per cent. a year
upon the investment, in addition to the
dividends from the earnings of the
Company and share in the property
to which all the money paid in is to be
invested. No scheme has ever been
presented to the public more certain of
profitable results to Stockholders. and
the personal character of the managers
of this enterprise is an ample guarantee
hat it will be faithfully carried out.
This mine is so situated that it can be
pro6tably worked on small investment
of capital, and is capable of sustaining
an almost unlimited expansion of capi-
tai in its working with an increased
pro rata profit. It is proposed at first
to transport the coal to Seattle on bar
ges towed by q small steamer. The coal
can b loaded upon box cars in the level
and by . tramway from thence to the
river, run on board the barge and trans
ported on shipboard in this harbor
without breathing bulk other than emp
tying the cars into the kold of the ves-
sci. When, however, the amount Of

The GRANaERs.-The rapid increase
of the order of the Patrons of Husband
ry is among the marvels of the age. and
shows that the great mass of the produ
cling classes were prepared to embrace
any opportunity or join in any move
ment which promised relief from the
growing expressions of chartered mo-
Dopolies, the tyranny of the party eau.
Gus system, and the immunity to official
peculation and corruption. The organ
ization is nominally and ostensibly nom
political; that is, there is nothing in the
ritual or obligation Ct membership pre-
scribing political or religious test; but
the objects of the association are such
as can only be attained by political &C.
ton. and it would be folly to suppose
they will hazard the main object of their
organization by division of their strength
upon political or party issues foreign
to the subject. Like the Grand Army
of the Republic, or the Methodist Epis.
coral Church-neither of which apply
any political party test to membership
the Grangers will vote as unit in all
political elections in which party issues
are involved. This is the only way in
which they can make their organization
of any avail in reforming the political
abuses at which they aim. If they sew
orally adhere to their old party organi-
cations, allow their votes to be controll..
ed by manipulated caucusses and pack
ed conventions, in the main managed to
defeat instead of to express the popular
sentiment, they but aid in perpetuating
the wrongs of which they complain
without taking any efficient means to
remedy the evils.
The membership Of the Oranges in
the United States now number over one
million, and organizers are kept con-
stantly employed in every State adding
to the numbers. There are now 1O9
Oranges in Oregon and 81 in Washing
ton Territory. where it has only been
started within the last year. Is it rea-
sonable to believe that this vast body Of
intelligent voters. drawn about equally
from each of the old political parties,
will consent to become the tail to par
~ kite with no other guarantee than the
promises Of professional politicians.

DAN RICE'S CIRCUS.

On Saturday. March 2Sth at Van Buren,
this great circus will exhibit afternoon and
evening. Old Dan Rice will perform in the
ring, also introducing the world wondering
blind talking horse, Excelsior. "
Dan Rice's circus is world famed, and is
composed Of greater number of performers,
male and female. greater selection ofnovel-
ties. sensations and arenic attractions, and a
more extensive, more beautiful, valuable and
talented troupe of educated and trained ami
mails than any other show in existence. We
think. from all we can learn, and we have ia
ken some pains to become posted, that those
of our citizens who shall attend, either the af-
ternoon or evening entertainment, or both
will have the qualification of saying they
have seen one of the best il not the best
amusements of the kind they have ever had
the privilege OF seeing, and thinking so, we
advise all who can find the leisure to attend'
to do so, and to take their wives, children and
sweethearts with them. Read the advertise
