A DERNTER RESORT.

The Virginia Enterprise, OF the 81
inst, in an article on the Texas Pacific
Railroad. has an idea which. as far as we
know. is original, viz: that that road
being q necessity, if satisfactory ar
rangement can not be made with Scott
the Government might build the road
itself and rent it when built to any or all
who might be disposed to use and pay
for it. II might be done as last resort,
bat for several reasons 'twould be better
to stretch point or two and give the
road to Scott. The Government would
in this probably meet with the fate of all
amateurs who usually spoil their first
attempts in learning what only comes by
practical experience. Scott, who is con-
versant with these matters. could build
it far cheaper than any Governmental
corps could possibly hope to. The Gov
eminent could use some of its knowl-
edge, acquired by experience, in pre-
venting the enormous swindle legally
perpetrated in the first Pacific Railroad
built. 1t could SO frame the bill that it
will have some show in the matter of the
road and some say in it's councils and
by SO doing could place itself in much
safer and in every way better position
than by attempting the actual construc-
ton OF the iron highway. Yet. as the
Enterprise says, "the public at least
could learn all about the expense of run
ming trains on curves and over grades,
and find out whether, when the bonds Of
the Pacific roads fall due, it will be
worth while to pay the second mortgage
bonds or let the S160, 900, 900 60 with the
lands" 1t might be necessary knowl.
edge for the Government and the public,
for the Texas Pacific will not be the last
road from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

customs and former history as though in

It's really the case that We, of to-day,
are the real antiquarians. and that we
are living in antiquity. We ponder on
ancient times, and the men that lived
and wrought in the worlds early days,
and consider them as having lived in
antiquarian days. when It's our times
and lives that are Of antiquity. Then
the world was young, now It's old; then
men were without precedent. and more

look back for knowledge or justifying ac-

goes back to childbOod's days for light of

now that the earth is older than in the
days when those whom we style the

A BRAVE MAN.-In times OF peace we
must look to other fields than those of
slaughter for deeds OF bravery and ap-
plaudable action. In such creditable
category may be inscribed the feat of
Capt. Hansen of the Norwegian bark
Poussin. The Poussin left port bound
for England on the 9Th of October with
cargo of iron and pine. The voyage
was marked by disastrous winds and on
the 18th the vessel being apparently an
unmanageablewreck the crew deserted the
vessel, the Captain standing by his ship.
By his own unaided efforts Hansen sue
ceeded in setting the fore and main sails,
lighting his lamp and heading the ship,
near as he could judge, for port. He got
her safely into Hull. Here we have an
example Of great bravery. Alone, on the

If those who harangue about our
school system should study it. they will
see that neither tissues nor "parties"
can be made out OF it. The boys who
study together to-day are the citizens of
tomorrow. No social, political or re-
ligious differences OF views or condition
disturb the boy; none will disturb the
citizens educated in those schools.
Especially is this bound to be the case
with children Of foreign citizens, whose
fathers have seen and partaken OF the
feuds churchized schools made across
the sea. feuds as inexplicable now to
their minds as they are impossible to
their sons and daughters.

in the following circumstances: The Yer
sailles assembly, just before adjourning for
its last recess, passed bill which had been
for some time under discussion, concerning
''Cadres, of the French army. Later Prince
Bismarck addressed a circular dispatch TO the
diplomatic representatives of Germany abroad
complaining of the adoption of this measure,
which was described as calculated to endan.
ger the peace Of Europe. The contents OF
the dispatch were, according to instructions,
orally communicated by German represent
tives TO the governments to which they are
respectively accredited. The existence Uf
this dispatch was divulged and gave rise to
reports which have lately caused so much

wHATcoM COUNTY.

From the Bellingham Bay Mail.
From all parts of Whatcom county we
are in receipt of authentic information of
increased activity among the people. Ev-
cry section seems determined to work out
its own salvation by making the most of
its resources, which are varied and hume.
rous. In one place it is new coal mine
that is attracting attention; in another,
logging; in other places, -four mills and
small saw.mills; and all over the county,
We notice disposition on the part of 1.-The
farmers to excel one another in the cult
walton of the soil, particularly in the cereal
crops. This is manifest in the interest
taken 10 the opening of roads, under great
difficulties, in every important locality.
Nothing can afford better evidence that
our people are determined to place What
com in the foremost rank of the counties of
this Territory, particularly in an agricul.
tural point of view. AS soon as this por-
ton of Puget Sound becomes sufficiently
developed to sustain manufacturing and
commercial population it will assuredly
present itself. IF, however, it does not,
why then, with the wealth dug out of the
SOIL we can become our own capitalists and
conduct our own commerce. Let not the
people falter in their enterprise because
the present faculties for transportation are
imperfect They are only SO by reason of
the limited quantity Of grain and produce
heretofore produced; the smaller the guam
tity the greater the difficulty in getting it
to market. Rest assured that produce, in
any considerable quantity, will find its way
to market with the same unerring certain
ty that the waters Of the Skagit and Moot
sack rivers find their way to Puget Sound.

ALL ABOUT THE TERRITORY.

Mrs. A. H. H. STUART:
Ireceived your circular last mail, and
as this county offers many inducements
to farmers hunting for lands to locate
for homesteads or presumption, / shall
be happy to give you from my experience
some information of this extreme north
western portion of the Territory.
The tier of townships bordering on
British Columbia, extending from the
Gulf of Georgia to the foot of the Cas-
cade Mountains, "a distance of twenty
four miles), is level tract of good land,
and evidently has been large beaver
lake that they havo forsaken, and their
dams gone to decay. About one-third
of the land is peat, and the remainder
is black loan with clay sub-soil. 1t
is lightly timbered with small cedar,
alder and cotton wood, with some open
grass land that is easily drained with the
Nootsack river.
AS this county is situated outside of
railroad limits, there are consequently
no lands for sale.
Farm wages are from S25 to $50 per
month. Last season our new settlers
found employment near home working
on the British road, that leads from
New. Westminster to Fort Hope, at from
$45 to $50 per month, and may be as
fortunate when the Canadian Pacific
railroad is built
This is great fruit county: apples,
pears, plums, cherries and ounces all
grow to perfection, also all kinds of
small fruits in the greatest abundance.
Corn, pumpkins, squashes, tomatoes
and melons, always mature when
planted in season. Vegetables grow to
a great size and come to perfection with
but little trouble. We have raised
onions eighteen inches in circumference.
Some kinds of potatoes grow to an en-
ormous size, but we prefer to raise, for
table use, those of a medium size, such
as the fine-grained, mealy Kidney"
Early Rose, -" Pink Eye" or Peach
Blow" These we always rely upon, as
crops are never known to be failure in
Washington Territory. Enough grain
has been raised here to know it yields
we'll.
A few enterprisine and intelligent
families are finding their way here, and
are we'll pleased with their prospects.
We have three lady teachers living in
the neighborhood, but not scholars
enough for q school, although we have
a school district organized. We have
had but one sermon preached on the
Nootsack and we have no churches.
We have lived SO long in freedom, under
these lofty frs, worshipping our Creator
in the place of the creature by living
useful lives, in helping to develop new
country, that we each feel to be a
church within ourselves.
Bellingham Bay is the outlet of the
Nootsack river, and is one of the finest
harbora in the world We do our
trading at the Bellingham Bay Coal
Company's store, where we always find
a good article and as cheap as at any
place on the Sound.
We have a county road laid out from
Whatcom to the boundary line, dis
lance of sixteen miles. The want of
good roads is our greatest drawback.
To have our county settle up with in
dustrious, enterprising people, who
will help us to develop its many re-
sources, we would consider better than
railroads or gold mines.
