THE OUTLOOK

For the lower Sound is . good one.
The great Skagit raft will be cut
through in another year and farmers
gallon that river will be able to ship
their grain to Seattle at q cost not
to exceed three dollars per ton. The
sloughs are all navigated by small
schooners which are generally owned
by parties living neighbors to the
farmers. Formerly the Sound ex-
ported coal and lumber only, and
was compelled to import all her hay
and breadstuffs from Oregon and
California. The new order of things
will soon make all our people rich.
HoMEwARD BOUND.
We arrived at Utsalady on our home
trip at noon, but were obliged to
Icy over there for five hours on &C
count of heavy wind and rough sea.
Midnight hovered in the skies ere
the welcome lights of Seattle flashed
upon our weary eyes. To Captain
Hill and our companions of the voy-
age, we tender our thanks and hope
to try It again.

A terrible catastrophe occurred in
the Arctic Ocean, last August, by
which the following whaling vessels
were destroyed: Barks Onward and
Clara Bell, San Francisco; ships St..
George and Marengo, and barks
Cornelius Howland, James Allen
and Java, of New Bedford; ship Ca
milla and barkentine Josephine, of
Boston, bark Acors Barns, New Lon
don, and Hawaiian barks Desmond
and Arctic. The vessels had on
board altogether about q thousand
barrels of oil, besides a large amount
Of whalebone and ivory. It is the
undivided opinion Of every master
that no hope can be entertained for
the rescue of the ships, or of those
who remained on board of them.
These vessels were carried along and
crushed up by vast field of floating
ice. The news came to San Fran
cisco by the bark Florence, which
brought back 100 of the survivors.

TERRITORIAL ENTERPRISE.

TERRITORIAL ENTERPRISE.
The firm of Schwabacher Broth.
ers, we'll known to all dwellers on
the Sound, are men of enterprise.
They have just finished new store
at Walla Walls, which is described
by the Union at greater length than
we have space to republish. But it
is, beyond doubt, the finest store in
the Territory. 1t covers lot 55x8O
feet, with an arched iron front, 25
feet high, When the wide outside
iron doors are thrown open, the
heavy cedar inside doors, artistical-
ly grained to resemble black walnut,
and panneled with clear French
plate glass, present very attractive
appearance. The walls are hard fin
ished ard pearly white. The cell
ing is supported by six finely de-
signed iron pillars, which are paint
ed and gilded in an artistic man
ner. In the Northwest corner of
the main store room, a space 12x16
feet has been enclosed in glass. This
space, which is raised two feet above
the level of the main floor, is the Of
fee of the firm, and embraces among
other elegant fittings, marble fire.
place. On the North side of the
store, aretwo splendid counters with
black walnut tops, each twenty feet
long. Behind these counters are con-
structed sixty feet in length of
shelving, five shelves high above the
base shelf, the whole surrounded
by an ornamental cornice, and sup
ported by two tiers of large drawers,
36 in number, to the display and
sale of ladies dress goods, etc. The
other side of the store is fitted up
with fine counters and shelving,
devoted to gentlemens clothing and
furnishing coed, groceries, hard
ware, etc. The center of the room
is occupied by drawer counters, on
which are piled an immense variety
of goods of all sorts and descrip-
tions, while the drawers are filled
with boots, shoes, boys and mems
hats, etc. The cellar, which is Ok
80 feet in size, with smaller cellar
on the side, is reached by flight of
stairs at the back of the store and
an elevator. The cellar, which is
filled with groceries, crockery, IL
quor, tobacco and cigars, also has
an entrance from the back yard
This firm has been one of the pillars
of Seattle, also; and, by affording
liberal credits to meu of we'll known
industry, has done much to build
up this place as a commercial en-
porium. In all measures calculated
to advance the prosperity OF our
city, these gentlemen have taken o
leading part and thoroughly identi-
fed themselves with the public in
terest. We wish them a continu-
ance of the prosperity which has re-
suited from their sagacity and strict
observance of the ethics of mercan-
tile life.
