GOOD FOR SEATTLE!

The Trustees Of the Seattle and Walla-
walla Railroad Company, have, we learn
from tie MiA'iyrncer, entered into an
arrangement with Capt. Battersby, Geo.
0. Davis and George Rutlege, of tue
Cedar River Coal Mine, whereby their
railroad, coal, iron and ship building
interests will be developed in YER
short time. The conditions of the agree
ment art Gi follows:
LIST. Said Battersby is to negotiate
loan of 5000 900 for said Railroad
Company, upon conditions stipulated,
Oh or before the 10th of July, 1871.
ID. Said Battersby and his associates
agree to open aud work the Cedar Riv-
err Coal Mine, to the amount of three
hundred tons daily, within one year
from the 10th of June, 1874; where
upon they shall be entitled to receive
twenty acres Of tide land with two humid
red feet front on deep water.
3D. Said Battersby and his associates
agree to establish a ship yard and COM
mence the business of ship building,
and within two years from 10th of June,
1874, build at least two vessels of one
thousand tons burden each; whereupon
they shall be entitled to receive deed
of 100 acres of tide land with four hund-
red feet front on deep water.
4th. Said Battersby and his associ-
atos agree to establish blast furnaces
for the purpose of reducing iron ore,
or rolling mills for the manufacture of
iron, upon the line of the Seattle and
Walla-walla Railroad within three years,
work to he commenced on the same

RELIGION AND PoMr1cs. This com
pound is not at all attractive, and it
appears that the crusade has led to it's
administration in unlimited doses. In
Portland, few days ago, the pulpit
issued a circular, in aid of the corrupt
Custom-house ring ticket for municipal
officers, closing with the following bid
for votes.
Let your name be enrolled this day in the
Book of Life. BE We workers together with
God for the putting down of the strongholds
of sin, and great shall be thy reward. Thy
journey shall be made peaceful and prosper
Gus, and thy end-life everlasting"
The ring tried the root of evil in the
State election, and miserably failed;
they now enter the arena with the prom
Use of life everlasting" the largest
bid yet made in behalf of any ticket.

EASTERN WE.rHER.-A correspond
ent of the Oregon Farmer, in a re-
cent letter dated at Knox county, ILL.,,
says: " Eight months winter has now
broken, and given way to a little warm
sun. Our SHOWS in April were as fol-
lows: It showed the night of the 4th
of April, and on the fifth eighteen
inches fell, and on the 2Sth four inches
deep of snow, and the ground froze.
Farmers sowed their wheat at spells
between thawing and freezing. Corn
and hay all fed out-cattle can pick
some, and are very poor. 1t takes all
that farmers can raise to put their stock
through the Winter" Will not this
picture quiet some of our malcontents
who grumble about hard times?

/ LcSG-E,EED As CsrAL.-The Echo, since
the return of its editor. Mr.. Gale. shows
It's usual stupidity. What n pity it i,
that Miss Gala Is not allowed to mai
a,e il all the time. Then such foolish
items rs the following would not find Il
place in it.
The 'o'n'ier says the railroad directors arc
discussing the question OF county bonds
Wonder ii he said directors propose to ride
rough shod over the heads of the people,
. n"WSinrcrs or any other man| There is "A
dim cloud in the horizon that may make
things rather tropical ere the people are
bound down bya small ring"
Now any sensible man would know
that it is the duty of the railroad direct
ors to consider and examine the ques-
ton of county bonds in all of it's bear
ings. pro and con, and not to fly off the
handle and commit themselves for or
against it, without thorough under
standing to arrive at the opinion as to
whether it will benefit or iniure the
county. 1t is an evidence of malicious
ness and hostility to the railroad, to
make such sweeping dcnunciations Of
the trustees, without any knowledge of
the discussions or views expressed by
them. They are all taxpayers in the
county. and have as direct an interest
in low taxes as anybody else.
A TAXPAYER AND NOT A DIRECTOR.
We give place to the above commu-
nication for the purpose of stating that
there are two sides to almost every ques-
ton. That corporations are unlnindful
of the rights of individuals has passed
into proverb, and the recent demise of
the Tacoma Tribune is IN instance in
point fresh in the minds of the people.
The publishers of this place had grave
cause for complaint against one or more
of the officers of the Railroad Union,
but as soon as attention was called to
the injustice, a reformation was prom
Used. This, however, did not suit one
or two of the directors and vigorous
tongue-crusade began against the Pub
fishers Association, and this course
doubtless prompted the item of the
Echo. We think "Taxpayer," like
some others, is commenting upon mat
tiers he does not thoroughly understand,
and were all the facts known he would
appear simply ridiculous in the eyes of
all unprejudiced people. 1t remains to
be seen whether the tail of the Union
is the greater part of the animal. So
far we have no indication that this will
be the result.

PRosPER1Ne. - The Bellingham Bay
Mail states that E. 7. Dodge, Esq, one
of the pioneer farmers of Skagit Valley
recently shipped to Victoria the first
cargo Of timothy hay from that locality.
1t also says that the recent freshets i'll
the Skagit have moved the jam in that
river about ten rods. The water is now
forcing a channel around the obstruc-
ton through slough, and is cutting
q new course. Two thousand tons of
grain, mostly oats and barley, have been
produced in the valley this season. This
appears to us to be an excellent exhibit
for district that has been mostly set.
tied within the past four years.

condition. She first school. in the above
order. is laugh, h., Miss Mary Connolly,
and numbers from fifteen to twenty
pupils. We were much pleased with
the proficiency of some OF the scholars
in advanced studies. and we have never
visited school where the Rotations
were more perfect. The Chambers
Prairie school, taught Ivy Miss Jennie
Patterson. is somewhat larger, but the
same careful interest was manifested in
every lesson recited. The want Of uni
formity in school books i, severely felt
in this school las in fact all o;leis in
the county, there being no less than
eight classes in geography, which might
with proper books be included in but
two. The parents will readily perceive,
on reflection, that there is no economy
in stinting their children in schools
books, when so much precious time of
the teacher is absolutely wasted by
such q course. At Tumwater, Mrs.
Lee presides over about thirty children,
of all ages. Her long experience as
teacher is manifested in the thorough
discipline and correct department of
the scholars. Here, too, we witnessed
a marked improvement since our last
visit. The friends of education, in
this county have cause for conSratula-
ton that their schools are in the charge
of faithful and competent teachers, and
that the scholars take so lively an inter-
est in their studies. We are really proud
of our schools, and trust that we will
be rardoned for Boosting little of
them.

MILLERs' NATIONAL CONVENTION. - A
convention Of the millers of the Union
was held in St. Louis, on the 9Th inst
at which several matters of special in
terest were considered. The initiative
steps were taken for forming a national
insurance company, in which only
Touring mills, and stocks therein may
be insured. A form of constitution and
bylaws for State associations was
adopted, and other measures to eflectu-
ate more thorough and permanent Or
ganiza'ion. The Secretary of the Ma
tional Association was directed to gath
err all the information he can obtain
relative to the crops, stocks. and prices
of grain, and millers' products, rates of
freight, and other matters of interest to
the Association, which he will publish
in q circular and distribute to the me,n-
bers of the Association. It is believed
that this organization will prove OF
great benefit to the branch of industry
it represents.

Loss OF THE STEAMSHIP PRINCE ALFRED.
A telegram received last Monday an
nounced the total loss of the steamship
Prince Alfred, on the coast near San
Francisco harbor, her point of destina-
ton. Her cargo was of unusual value,
consisting mainly of furs, belonging to
the Hudson Bay Co., en- route for Eng
land, and $26. 900 treasure, in charge OF
the express messenger. The passengers
and crew all escaped, but it is thought
that no effort will be make to save the
vessel or cargo, as she has broken in two
and only the top of one of her masts
was visible at last accounts.

INDEPENDENT PARTY IN ILI1So1s.-A
la!e Eastern exchange says that Mr.. A..
G. Hesing and General Lieb, prominent
German editors and politicians of Chi
cago, held conference in that city on
Saturday with several editors of infuen-
tial Democratic journals of the State,
when the practicability of reoreanizing
the Democratic party was discussed.
Mr.. Hesing advocated reorganization
of the party, because he believed it was
the only one which could keep down
the puritanical element, and guarantee
the peculiar freedom the Germans de-
mand He had no faith in an indie
pendent party, and promised, if the
Democratic party were placed upon its
feet again, to give it all the German
votes, feeling confident that it would
carry the State in the next general cleo
ton by $4,000 majority. Some of the
editors favored the proposition, and
others did not. Some of them expressed
the opinion that any attempt to reor-
gailize the Democracy would only help
the Republican party, by preventing the
union of all the elements of the oppo-
sition. They finally decided to await
the action of the Independent Conven-
ton held at Springfield, June 10th.
