the Coal Company at Sehome. has this
week started logging-c.mp at Squilli-
cum Greek. on Judge Eldridge's land,
and has gone to work with a gang of
men in good earnest. This is the Sec

bingham Bay, and if we may consider
Samish within the precinct of this bay
there are four or five logging camps in
operation. All these are tuning out

Mrs. Judson makes a novel PROPOSE
ton in relation to removing the Jams
in the Nootsack River, and is nothing
,less than this: The man who puts in
the greatest number of days work on
the jam shall receive the highest num-
ber of votes for the best office in the
county; the second greatest number
days work to receive the second high
est number of votes, &c.
The parties engaged in the removal
of the Skagit jam-Messrs. Marvin,
Minnick. Daniel Mcdonald, John
Quirk, Daniel Hines and Joseph Wilson
are getting up subscription to en-
able them to prosecute their undertak-
ing. By this means it is hoped the
work can be carried on until the appro-
prtation bill for $4,000, introduced in
Congress last January. for this purpose,
shall pass. We have no doubt that our
delegate will succeed in getting this bill
passed next winter, at least in modified
form perhaps $4,000. Until then.

Considerable business was being trans
acted before Judge Lewis. at Chambers,
at this place, last week; also in the
Bankruptcy Court. The pleadines in
many of the suits now pending have
been settled. The principal business
being done, however, is in relation to

sip, and states that if he were at lib
erty to do so, he could repeat some
very startling statements made to
him by Winslow, and these state
ments doubtless involve the charac-
ter of several Boston men. supposed
to be victims of Winslow s forgeries.
Winslow reaffirmed that. if he could
return to Boston and be granted i'm
munity from arrest, he would ar
range for every dollar of his indebt-
edness. Winslow and his family
seem to be in very destitute circum-
stances, the latter living ON the little
money sent from Boston. Mrs.
Winslow s faithfulness to him, how
ever. is remarkable. She spends as
much time as possible talking with
him though the prison regulations
interpose wire screen between
them. She has also resorted to
some pretty shrewd tricks to get
sweetmeats and other delicacies to
him. Meanwhile she and her sister,
Miss Aver, and the son, IS years old,
get along with two meals day.
Winslow has received from Boston a
letter in cipher. which a letter pre-
viously sent to him stated would in
form him of important facts, though
some of the most skillful experts in
London have worked on it, nothing
of any account can be made of it.

that General Butler has been re-
tained as Winslow's counsel in an
ticipation of his extradition.
A writer in that able hygenic mag

sums up the results of fifty years of
teetotal warefare: OF prohibitory
laws we have already enough, and
what do they amount to? Prosecu-
tions under the Adair (civil damage)

dollars as damages; and that very
likely, her husband spends for whis-

warefare the teetotalers have not
been able to create a healthy tenn
