ALL ABOUT THE TRRIToRY.

The following letter was received by
the immigration Society of this city
has been handed us for publication:
KING COUNTY.
King county is one of the most i'm.
portant counties in the Territory, on
account of its mineral, agricultural, and
commercial resources. It's mineral
wealth, as yet, cannot be estimated
(although it is known to be great, as
much of the county lying among the foot
hills of the Cascade mountains has never
been explored; but its vast coal-ields
are already Yielding large revenue to
the companies that are engaged in
working them. This is owing to the
facilities for easy transportation that
are afforded by the lakes and rivers
which abound in the county, and
form q complete network of navigable
waters, not excelled by any county in
the Territory. The outlet of these wa
tiers is through the Duwamish river into
Elliot's Bay, on which is situated Seat
tie, the largest and most thriving city
on Puget Sound. 1t is very eligibly
situated for commerce, has tolerably
good harbor, and is we'll supplied with
wharves and warehouses. Manufac-
lures of various kinds are carried on
here. Merchants, doctors and lawyers
DO thriving business. Hotels and
restaurants are we'll patronized, and
the various churches and schools are in
f1ourishing condition.
Lake Washington, on which Is stu
ated one of the principal coal mines in
the Territory, is large and beautiful
lake, lying few miles from Seattle in
an easterly direction, and it is connect
ed with Lake Union, dying about mile
from the city, by short portage.
Over this portage and to the wharf
where il is loaded into vessels, the coal
is carried by railroad. A railroad to
the Talbot mine on Black river is also
in process of construction. Around
Lake Washington, and indeed all our
lakes, there is more or less rich agricul-
tural land, and our river bottoms can
not be excelled in fertility.
The uplands of King county, like the
uplands of Western Washington gen.
orally, are covered with heavy growth
of fir and cedar, and at present are unfit
for farming; but through the country,
interspersed here and there, are swales,
swampy lands and prairies, equal in
richness to the river bottoms, thus CIV
ing the enterprising immigrant chance
for locating in any part of the country.
The industrious mechanic of the East
ern States, and the hardy pioneer OF
the West, alike find homes in our gen.
ial and salubrious climate. Not only is
King county noted for its mineral
wealth, the richness and productiveness
of its arabic lands, its natural facilities
for INSTRUMENTATION, and its impor-
tant commercial position, but it can
boast of some of the finest, grandest,
and most sublime scenery in the world.
Respectfully, M. O. Brown. l.,

WORKING GIRLS,

The NeU Northwest contains q few
pertinent remarks on the I" Needs of
Working-girls." This is q subject
which of right demands the attention
of all candid-minded people. The fol-
lowing is the conclusion of the article
referred to: .- ~,
Society, for the ban it places upon
girls who must toll certain number OF
days in order to meet the constantly re-
curing question of "what shall we eat,
and what shall we drink, and where.
withal shall we be clothed.9" is res
ponsible for the stigma attached to hon
est labor: the unjust and most obnox-
ious custom of paying laborefs accord
ing to their sex rather than their de-.
serts, is largely guilty. Charity work
ing-girls do not want; they simply want
justice. They want first of all, how
ever, to be so educated in their various
branches of business that they can
rightfully earn wages better than they
now receive. and having earned them,
let them be fairly paid. Homes these
girls want, not spelled with preten-
tious capitals that mark their inmates as
the recipients Of charity, but quiet and
pleasant and unostentations homes,
where they can keep themselves pare
and good, q blessing instead of reproach
to their employment and their sex. st
This class of youngwomen are grow
ing more numerous each year. The
number of women who must be self
supporting, each day increases. Pub
Lie sentiment is rapidly changing in re-
gard to labor for women. III we could
see working-girls develop into capable
and energetic working-women and
these honor and exalt womanhood by
giving becoming dignity and remn-
neration to the labor Of women, they
should have the fairest chance to do
the best that they can do. sh 2iii3

doors been so impressed with the maj.
esty of the law as now. The Court,
jury and prosecuting officers, are max
ing it lively for offenders. Some four
teen indictments have been found by
the Grand Jury, and that institution is
still in session. The number of these
indictments must not be taken as evil
dence of the increase of crime in this
district. For years past the admins
tration of the law has been slack; crime
has been winked at, for fear that just
prosecution might make enemies in
certain quarters, and these interfere
with political aspirations of ambitious
men. For years past men have sold
liquor to Indians, and no notice was
taken of the fact. The community be-
came impressed with the idea that it
was no longer al offence to sell liquor
to Indians, and those that liked that
kind of business have followed it with
immunity. A new Judge makes his
appearance, who instructs the Grand
Jury as to the law, and its duty under
the law, and behold indictments are
ground out by the bat-full. Yesterday
one case was tried, and many still
looked on this trial as joke, congrat-
uiating themselves that no Port Town
send jury would find verdict of guilty.
The congratulations. however, were of
short duration, for the jury found the
defendent guilty in all four counts in
the indictment. The prospects to the
many indicted are not very inviting,
though they point strongly to new
dwelling where they will be boarded
without labor and without price. This
is truly reign of terror for criminals.

The vote last Thursday, on the prop
osition to levy special tax of two and

of the tax. Although it will be seen
from the following summary that but

The result indicates that there is q
large portion of our population who do
not take enough interest in the welfare
of the community to go to the polls
and vote. Why this apathy should ex-
list, when rival communities are out
stripping US in the race, is more than
we can determine.
The question now to be decided is
the location of the wharf. Several pro-
positions are before the public. The
West Side scheme is the cheapest, but
the general desire appears to be to
build the wharf from the foot of Main
Street. The wharf at Snyder's need
not be more than 800 feet long, while
the other plan necessitates the building
of bridge considerably over mile in
length, to connect the wharf proper
with the shore-line on Main Street.
1t is claimed. however, that in case
the latter proposition is accepted, o
number of our citizens are willing to
contribute literally to meet the ad-
ditional expense. How far this spirit
of iberality extends, can only be de-
termined BY canvass of the place.
Thif should be done at once, so that
some report can be made at the mass
meeting to be held this evening at Co.
lumbia Hall, when the policy to be
pursued will doubtless be determined.
