THE INDUSTRIAL OUTLOOK.

As the year draws to a close, we
look about us to see what progress
we have made as an industrial and
working people. Looking sixty miles
to the northward of this city we see
a broad expanse of alluvial country.
larger than the entire Kingdom OF
Holland and capable of supporting
larger population than now inhab-
itsthe whole of the Territory, The
product of cereals in that seetlon'
during the past harvest, has been
greater than during the whole three
years previous; and it is thought
that if the distractions to the navl'
CATION of the Skagit and Nooksack
rivers can be successfully removed
bv seed time, there will not be less
than four thousand tons of grain
exported from the counties of Sno-
homish. Whatcom and Island, next
year.
The coal trade has not progressed
as much as was hoped for, at the
beginning Of the year, but the great
yield of grain in Oregon and Cali
fornia was the indirect cause of that
and not any direct fault OF our
mines. The wharves of San Francis
co and Astoria teemed with foreign
vessels which brought English coal
and sold it at figures that defied
any legitimate competition. This
is purely an exceptional case and is
not likely to occur again, once in ten
years.
Our exports Of lumber have been
very large, since January last. The
closing of the Utsalady establish
ment has only made business more
brisk in other localities. Much OF
this demand for our fir lumber, is
owing to the fact that the Southern
Pacific Railroad has been pushed
with real Yankee energy through the
Southern counties of California, by
Ex-Governor Stanford. In addition
to this, the foreign demand has been
quite extensive, the shipments to
ports in the South Pacific being
second only to those of 1872. The
ability of the Puget Sound mills to
furnish almost any length required,
is one great percentage in our favor
Ship-building has been quite ex-
tensiye and of a highly creditable
character. The building of three
such vessels as the Cassandra Adams,
Katie Flickinger and Quickstep, in
one season Ito say nothing Of the
smaller feet is highly creditable to
a new country. Our productions in
this line, will increase before they
grow less. Take it for all in all, the
closing year has been good one and
has heaped many substantial bless
ings upon an industrious and enter
prising people.
