SATURDAY, JUNE "a, 1870,

With this issuc OF the SoRTnERN STAR
trmina;cs my connection with the paper
as Associate Editor, 1t was announced
in the frat number, that | should stick
by the proprietor until it WAS complete
success. My humble efforts have en-
sblcd the chief to be absent most OF the
time, Canvassing and soliciting adYcr-
,,pments, becoming acquainted with the
varied interests of the Territory and the
inhabitants. My profession and other
obligations now demand nearly all my
time. 1t is with feelings Of pleasure that
I have been able TO assist, ever 50 little,
in establishing the first paper IN the
county, and its proprietor Will always
have my warmcst sympathies and as cor
dial a support as my own private duties
will admit of my awarding him. To
those who greeted the enterprise at the
start with undisguised contempt and
ridcule, | can point with feeling of trl'
umph to the subscription list, advcr,s
ing columns and the present size of the
NORTHERN STAR, MS complete reinta'
ton of their hopes and prophesics Of its
failure. And TO those who generously
seconded and warmly supported the I'M
dertaking from the very first, and who
have so chartably overlooked the short
comings of the Associate Editor, allow
me to offer my sincere thanks, and let
such ever remember that their kindness
and sympathy will be long and CRATE
fully cherished.

On Friday, June 8, 1876, I left Snoho-
mish City, for another trip on and around
Puget Sound,
The favor that has been generally &C
corded to these off hand descriptions Of
the country visited previously, induces
me to continue my former habit Of de.
scribing things seen on these trips, the
way they appear while passing over
the country.
From Snohomish the steamer Fanny
Lake took me to Seattle; leaving Snoho-
mish late in the afternoon, arriving at
Seattle late in the evening; business
kept me busy there Saturday; the next
morning the Fanny Lake went to skagit
River with NJ feet lumber, and large
quantity of freight as well as number
of passengers. We stopped at TulOlip
couple of hours waiting for the tide;
then passed east of Csmauo's Island
through Stillaguamish River, via Cen.
treville to the Skagit, reaching Skagit
City Just before sun down. Daniel E.
Gage was among the passengers, on his
way home from purchasing goods at
Seattle. Some ten tons of freight and
barge portion Of the lumber WAS for him.
Mr.. Kayton, logger, was returning
from across the Sound, where he had
been to see about disposing of his logs.
A lady also was aboard going to the
.Eksgit to join her husband, who settled
,shere some time previously. Stopping
over night at skagit City, I left in the
morning with another person bound for
La Conner. A Siwash took us there IL
his canoe, down the North fork of Skaglt.
Net Sheriff Allen at La Connor, who
had nearly completed his assessing in
,,the South part of the county. Visited
with him several persons on the Swino-
mish Flats, and after transacting some
further business at La Connor, left late
in the evening on steamer Libby for se-
home, which We reached early Tuesday
morning June 13. Sheriff Allen, and his
daughter Mrs. L. L. Andrews were
among the passengers from La Conner.
The day passed very pleasantly at Sc.
home and Whatcom, every courtesy was
extended to make my stay pleasant and
agreeable. Had quite long chat with
the gentlemanly editor of the Mail in
reference to the local interests of the
country thereabouts. Most of the after
noon was spent in the mines of the B. B.
Coal Co., at'Sehome, aa account of which
appears elsewhere.
Tuesday night l passed at the home of
Edward Eldridge, one of Whatcom's
representative citizens. His beautiful
Aene is situated within couple OF miles
