IMPORTANT TRANSFER The Glyndon
(Minn.) Gazette, of a recent date, con-
tains the following announcement,
which is Of general interest to the peo-
pie of our Territory:
"The Lake Superior and Puget Sound
Land Company is no more. The stock
and franchises of that company have
been sold to the Northern Pacific Rail-
road Company, who hereafter control
the town sites along it's line of road.
The N. p. R. r. Go. pays the stock
holders of the L. S. and p. S. Land
Company the original cost of their stock,
with interest at nine per cent. to Octo-
Der LIST, 1873, and q bonus of fifty per
cent. The payments to be made in six
per cent. N. p. bonds at ninety cents
on the dollar. L.
The bonds are to be held by trustee
for two years for the benefit of the
stockholders, interest thereon to be paid
regularly, and to be redeemable by the
N. p. r. r. Co. at ninety, if the COM
pany chooses within said two wears to
redeem them. Every settler on the
line of the road will rejoice that this
incubus upon the development of the
country has at last been removed"

EASTERN PRICES FOR BUTrER.-NIany
people have an idea that this article of
universal consumption is cheaper on the
Atlantic coast than here, but it is a mis-
take. One dairyman near Boston gets
81 90 per ID for his butter, and another
81 Is per ID. The highest price ever
paid in the State of New York for but
ter was IS cents per h. Mr.. Beekman,
whose butter took the prize at the N.
I. State Fair, gets IS cents per h. the
year round. What effect the newly
patented process of making butter from
lard and even tallow will have upon
prices it is impossible to foretell. The
company recently incorporated in San
Francisco to test the matter, claim that
the reduction will be so large that il
will bring it at once into general use.
If their anticipations are realized, poor
boss" must 60 out of business, TO,

OUR COMMON SCHOOLS.

The reports of the several districts in
this county indicate very healthful
condition of the school service. During
the past year, schools have been taught
in twenty of tho twenty-five districts.
The terms have varied from three to
eight months in length, and an an aver
age attendance hns been secured of over
five hundred scholars.
The school. tax for the present year
aggregates SG,30l sc. large proper
ton of which has been paid, and is
available for present use. The appor-
tionment Is based upon n sum ten per
cent. less than the amount assessed, to
make due allowance for delinquent
taxes. Should this reserve be too
large, the amount collected will Of
course be included in the epportion-
ment of July.
The whole number OF children re-
turned rs entitled to enumeration is
SCI, and the amount apportioned to
each is Sc Sc. The textbooks gener-
ally used are Towns Spoilers, the Ma
tional Series of Readers, Billions
Grammar, Cornell and Monteith's Ge-
og,aphies, Rays Arithmetic and Da-
vies's Algebra. Very few of the dis
tricts have manifested any inclination
to adopt the series of textbooks sug-
gested by the Territorial Superintend-
emit, not on account of any objection, it
is believed, to the course selected, but
purely as matter of economy. Par
ents are slow to perceive the advantages
of uniformity, and teachers appear to
prefer the books with which they have
become familiar by long-continued use.
1t is doubtful whether the adoption of
any course of study can become uni
versal unless required by legal enact
ment, and its use made obligatory as q
condition for appropriation of the pub
lie funds.

ANNUAL SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION,

The lVOman's Journal contains m
extended summary of the proceedings
of the American Woman Suffrage As.
ISOLATION held Oct. 14th and 18th, in
New York and Brooklyn. The occas-
ion was an annual meeting, and the at.
tendance large and the proceedings
spirited. Great enthusiasm prevailed.
Col. l.. Wentworth Higginson, presid-
ed and made the opening address.
Letters endorsing the movement were
read from Hon. George VIM. Curtis,
VIM. Lloyd Garrison, Lydia Maria
Child, Elisabeth Stuart Phelps, Louisa
NJ. Alcott and others. Eighty-six del
egates were present, representing or
gained societies in fourteen States and
Territories. The Annual Report shows
that Woman Suffrage is established in
Wyoming and Utah, that it was un-
der discussion last winter, in 81 State
Legislatures, and received a majority
vote in those of Maine, Iowa and Mich
igan. Written reports were read from,
II States. Julia Ward Howe was elect.
ed president for the ensuing year; Lucy
Stone, Chairman Executive Committee.
Among the Vice Presidents at Large
are Vice President Henry Wilson, Hon.
George VIM. Curtis, Senator Sargent,
VIM. Lloyd Garrison and Col. Higgin-
son. The resolutions adopted are as
follows:
Resolred, That the primary aim of the Amer.
lean Woman Suffrage Association is to secure
the ballot for woman while itincludes, in its
general aim, the establishment of her equal
ity of rights in all directions.
ResOtred, That One-half of the adult popula.
ton Of the United States who are legally en-.
titled to hold property, who are assessed fol
taxes and punishable for crime, and whose
interest in the Commonwealth is in no re-
spect less than that of the other half, should
not be deprived OF an equal voice in the gov
Resolred, That government of the people
must he government composed equally OF
men ana women, inasmuch as the equal co
| operation OF the sexes, is essential alike to a
happy home, a refined society, q Christian
church and a Republican State
tssotred That our present political system
is not fairly representative, even of men, be
ing largely controlled in the primary meet
lngs by rings of trading politicians intent or
private gain; that political reform must en-
list more general interest on the part of the
people in the management ofpublic business
and that it would be greatly promoted by
combining the social sympathy and co-opci,
alton Of women, in the primary meetings a
the POLLS polls and mi; in the halls of legislation:
Woman Suffrage in every locality to pro
mote the movement generally and POLITICAL,
by organizing local societies for circulating
meetings, and especially for heIping to cleo
emies. ~ "
Resoired, That the Woman Suffrage Move

THE RAILROAD MIDDLE.

In pursuance Of a call published in
the daily paper, meeting of citizens OF
of the county was held in Olympic Hall,
on Wednesday evening, to discuss the
subject of railroads and secure harmo-
ny in advancing the project for railroad
connection with the Northern Pacific at
Tenino. Mr.. Evans having been called
to the chair, committee was appointed
to present plan of action for the con-
sideration of the meeting. The COM
mittee having retired, Gov. Solomon,
DR.. Rice and Mr. Vineyard, by request,
proceeded to review the situation of
affairs and to inform the PEOPLE just
how it should be managed. Tie three
speakers did not agree on a single pro-
position: the Governor confined him.
self mainly to laudations of :" our COM
pany, "our" coal and "our' steam
ships; DR.. Rice wanted to shoulder his
axe, pick and shovel, and build it him
self; and the red-headed gentleman,
as Mr.. Ward facetiously denominated
Mr.. Vineyard, stumbled over words like
a bull in china-shop, and finally con-
cluded that he had nothing practical to
offer. The return of the committee for
tunately interrupted the discussion at
this point. The report submitted arti-
cles of incorporation of the Olympia
Railroad Union, naming seventeen
prominent citizens as trustees, to per,
feet the organization and manage the
affairs of the company for six months
Several amendments were proposed and
lost, one being to change the objective
po;n.. to Walla Walla, and increase the
capital stock preportionally. Gov.
Ferry moved to strike out clause
empowering the trustees to aid, by as
signment or otherwise, any other COM
pany, firm or individuals, who may
engage to finish and maintain the road.
He declared there was a niger in the
fence and that he was convinced the
proceedings had been cut and dried"
for the occasion. Hereupon considera-
BILE discussion ensued, and the meeting
assumed more the appearance of a Re-
publican primary, than anything else
under the sun we can find for COM
parison. Corns were numerically tram
pied upon, the bump of self-esteem was
ruthlessly hammered, and the partici-
pants fairly grew red in the face with
the excitement of the contest. The
major part of the audience would have
enjoyed the scene, had they been less
interested in the objects of the meeting,
and even as it was there was much
suppressed merriment, as one after the
other of the Napoleons stripped for
battle. The Objectionable clause was
finally stricken out, more for the sake
of pouring oil on the troubled waters
than anything else, and the articles were
adopted as a whole. A motion to ad-
journ was carried, more, as the mover
alleged, to allow the belligerents time
to cool off and care for their wounded,
than any other cause.
We sincerely hope that when another
meeting is called for any public object,
that politicians will stay at home, take
back seats, or reserve their fre-brands
for another and more legitimate pur-
pose.

The New YEAR.-The new year came
in with sunshine and snow, interspersed

RATHER INAppRopRlArE.-One of the

The CONCERT. - The entertainment
given by the Olympia Choral Society at
Columbia Hall, on Tuesday evening,
was rare treat and enjoyed by one of
the largest audiences of the season.
While all the pieces were so we'll rem
dered, and all who participated acquit-
ted themselves SO creditably, it might
appear invidious to refer to any portion
of the programme as deserving of spe-
Sal commentator. We cannot refrain,
however, from expressing the gratifca-
ton of the audience, at the singing of
Mrs. Morgan, in the solo eff on the
Meads," the piano and organ duet,
by Prof. Roberts and Miss Huntington
and selections from the opera of the
Bohemian Girl, by the Society. In
the last piece Mr.. and Miss O'Brien, ex-
hibited in q remarkable degree their
proficiency as vocalists. The defect in
Mr.. OBrien's singing was in the i'm
perfect enunciation of his words, scarce
ly a syllable being understood by the
the audience. The exquisite tone of
his voice, however, made up in a great
measure for the deficiency. Taken as a
whole, the concert was decided sue
cess, and will bear repetition at some
convenient season.
