Pacific railroad. The terminus was
located here about the time of the fail.

sand dollars. For the past two years
nothing has been done in the way o!
business except the:transfer between the
railroad and the steamboats, at the
wharf.
The town is very nicely located on a
bluff about $50 feet above the Bay. The
country around is heavily timbered,
principally fir; the soil is of little value
for agricultural purposes, except the
PupalIup river valley, which is very rich
and fertile and is noted for being great
hop region. producing large quantities Of
a superior quality. But with the excep
ton of this valley the country tor forty
miles is OF little value for agriculture.
Considerable business IS being done in
the vicinity in numbering and logging.
One mill about one mile from here cut
over one hundred thousand feet of lum-
Der every twenty.four hours besides large
quantities of lath. One hundred men
are employed about the mill and about
fifty outside. The lumber is taken away
in vessels as soon as it is sawed. The
work about these mills is very hard and
only strong able-bodied men can stand it.
About twenty-five miles from here
there are large quantities of valuable
coal, said to be the best that has been
discovered ON the coast. The railroad
company has had a road surveyed and
located to the mines, which the superin-
tendent informed me would certainly be
built this coming summer. II this is
done it will make Tacoma . good town,
as the demand for coal is very great, and
the largest vessel in the world can come
to the wharf and load. If this road is
not builded, or something done in the
trans.continental line OF the N. P. r. r.
the coming season, the only man needed
in Tacoma will be q coroner tn sit on the

The idea naturally arises in ones mind
what inducement is there to q man to
live in such country answer because
it is a pleasant contry to live in. What
changes there are will always be for the
better. Progress is slow, but there is

New York MilliOnaireS.

The New York correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune says: Commodore
Vanderbilt is easily reached. Any one
can get an interview with him who de-
sires it. 81. B. Clafin, the great dry
goods king, occupies a small office in
his great establishment, and customers
and clerks go i'll and out while he is
there with the utmost freedom. Mr..
Clafin ofte,. cJnfers with his clerks and
junior partners at their desks, and is ap
preached by the firm patrons as readily
as if he was one of the salsemen. VIM.
B. Astor was another man always ready
to see any one who called upon him in
his business Office on Prince street.
Commodore Garrison has an office on
Bowling Green, where his steamship
business has long been done, and, pro-
vided he has no person with him at the
moment, can be seen for the asking.
Jay Gould is always busy, but visitors
by taking their turn can see him at any
time.
The leading bank presidents are ac-
cessible to anybody who may call upon
them.
The heads of the dry goods firms of
Arnold & Constable and Lord & Taylor
can be seen at any time by sending in a
card or a name. Indeed, our busiest
men are real democrats, and as a cat
may look at a king, SO may the humblest
citizen secure an audience with the
richest without hindrance.
The nearest kin to A. T. Stewart in
the Tycoon business is James Gordon
Bennett. He has corps of watchmen
and doorkeepers keeping off the rabble,
and after passing three or four waiting
rooms he may be seen.

Minister to England.

Edwards Pierrepont, who succeeds
Mr.. Schenck as United States minister
to England, was born at New Haven,
Conn.,, in 1917, and entered Yale Col
lege in 1888, graduating in 1887 in the
same class with Mr.. Evarts and Chief
Justice Waite. His legal studies were
prosecuted at the Flaw school, under
Judge Daggett, and in 1910 he was ad-
mitted to practice, removing to Colum-
bus, Ohio, where he entered into part
nership with Mr.. P. B. Wilcox, the
State reporter. During the next five
years Mr.. Pierrepont enjoyed success
full practice and established a legal repu
tation. In 1846 he went to New York
city. In 1857 he was elected to fill the
vacancy in the superior court created by
the death of Chief Justice Oakley, a
position which he held for three years,
then resigning. When the war broke
out he arrayed himself on the side OF
President Lincoln, nominally as q war
Democrat; was member of the Union
Defense committee of New York city; q
member, in 1862, of the commission for
examining into the cases of prisoners
of State, and ono of the counsel for the
government in the Surratt trial. Short
ly after the nomination of Mr.. Seymour
he declared for Grant, and on the elec-
ton of the latter was made district at
torney, holding the Office somewhat over
year. In 1873 he was offered and de-
clined the Russian mission, and in the
later part OF April, 1875, was appointed
attorney general of the United States.
Mr.. Pierrepont was member of the
Constitutional convention of 1867, when
he served on the judiciary committee.
He was also member of the committee
of seventy, of New York city.
