ing perhaps few lines from Puget
Sound would not be uninteresting to
some of your readers, | venture to
submit the following: came here,
i'll part, for the purpose of seeing the
country, and having been at the most
OF the principal business points, have
had an opportunity of getting infor-
nation, which, hope, may be use
ful to some.
Comparatively speaking, few peo-
pie who know of the great lumber
trade carried on here have an adc-
quatc idea of its magnitude as it now
exists. In one county (Kitsap) alone
there are located five large mill COM
panics, of which the Port Madison
Company is a fair sample. The
working operations Of this company
we will try to describe. They en-
ploy from two to three hundred men
besides the loggers they employ.
The ships owned and employed by
them are built here. AT the COM
p;nv stores is to be found as large
general assortment of goods as at any
place on the Sound, at slight adj
vanccs on San Francisco prices. The
town of Madison was principally
built by the company, and is occupied
by tic families Of their employees.
There i, ono good hotel for the &C
commodation OF travellers, besides Il
company boarding house, blacksmith
and carpenter shops, school house,
church, etc.
TIE Madison Company own large
tracts of timber land, from which it
brought great part of the logs cut
at the mill. At ono of their camps
on Little Skookum Bay they have
built Il railroad, at cost of $4,000,
for the transportation of saw logs
from point several miles in the in
terror.
But, notwithstanding the great
amount of lumber cut, the price of
logs is lower now than several
months ago. This is owing to the
fact that every man that could rig
up team and could get lumber has
gone to logging. Thus the market
is gluttcd, and some compelled to
sell at reduced figures.
1t is noticeable fact that here on
the Sound, where the lumber trade
is established, it pays to transport
logs two or three miles, over skidtlcd
roads generally, to where they are
RATED, as they do in some places;
and, as in the case of the Madison
Co. X. r., several miles, whilst on
the Columbia River, at least on some
of its tributaries, vast amount of
the best of timber can be procured
at much less expense, for the reason
that cattle, camp supplies, etc, arc
cheaper, the country producing
everything necessary. On the other
land the loggcrs here arc supplied
with hay, grain, cattle, etc, from
California, cast of the mountains,
and elsewhere.
Considerable immigration has
come to the Sound this Spring and
Summer, which makes business
quite lively at the various towns.
Seattle is especially prosperous, and
is building up rapidly. But with her
new population she has considera-
bic sprinkling of loafcrs, and bur-
glary is in vogue, with an occasional
attempt at robbery on the streets or
in the ncighborhood of the town.
Erroneous reports have been circu-
lated throughout the country in re.
gard to the demand for la3orcrs on
the Sound, to the great Inconvenience

DOCTOR LAMBORN,

During the late canvass, made a gallant
contest, and his forcible speeches made
good impressions wherever delivered
Of course the district is Republican,
Stark being the only Democratic county
of the four composing the district.
J. B. Powell, the greenback candidate,
gets quite vote, and we should not be
surprised if his vote would be large
enough, with Lamborn's, to exceed Nc
Kinley's. If our greenback friends are
influenced by plain facts,and governed by
reason, they must see that the first step
is to drive out the present rulers. No
step towards reform or improvement can
be taken till this is done. A moments
reflection should suffice to convince any
one of the folly of division, When bad
men combine to rule and to ruin, good
citizens must associate. Those in favor
of change can accomplish nothing by di-
vision. In union only there is strength.
From three townships, Sugarcreek,
Marlboro and Tuscarawas, the returns
certify the vote to Leslie L. Lamborn,
and one township to Leslie Lamborn.- -
The Wilcox-RepOsitory tickets were print
ed Leslie L.; all that were printed at the
DEMOCRAT Office were Levi L. Lamborn.
We doubt not that the latter tickets were
the ones generally voted, and we suspect
the clerks certified to the wrong given
name.
The Powell vote is 1856 in Stark coun-
ty, 2Ol of it in Alliance. 1t is much lar
ger in Mahoning and Columbiana. Our
friends must See that they have thrown
their votes away. We hope they will
consider v ell before the great day in No
vember, and join the great army moving
in favor Of Tilden, Hendricks and Re-
form. J'''"''.'' N Ny A'M"'

GENERAL SIGEL.
HIS MEETINGS AT MASSILL0N
AND CANTON.
0vatiOns Worthy Of the Gallant
..ut Soldier. .' rae

General Franz Sigel, the gallant SOL
der, high-souled gentleman and honest
man, addressed mass meeting at Mas
sillon on Monday afternoon, and also
spoke at Canton in the evening.
Although the notice was short, only
three or four days being possible, such
was the interest on the part of the peo-
pie, without distinction Of party, that
both meetings were grand success and
the able and earnest speeches of General
Sigel, both in English and German, had
telling effect, and were applar dinghy
received.
The meeting at Massillon was held on
the old Fair Ground, and the procession
we learn was two miles long, and pre-
sented the appearance of an old fashion
ed Hickory gathering of The olden time.
Several thousand were present, citizens
of Massillon and the country for miles
around. Canton turned out several hun
dred and in the evening the cavalcade
on horseback, numbering several hum
dred, came to Canton and paraded with
torches, thus adding much to the grand
eur of the display in our town. 1t was a
sight to see and be remembered.
The music for the occasions was fur
nished by the Massillon, the two Canton,
New Berlin and 0snaburgh bands, and in
the Canton Opera House the Nilsson
Quartette sang several songs, one in the
German tongue that amused the audi
ence and brought out uproarious applause
General Sigel at both places spoke first
an hour or so in English, and then half
an hour or more in German. His speech
es are practical, argumentative and pun
gent, commanding the attention of his
audience, and frequently elIciting hearty
applause. The gallant Generals noble
efforts in Stark county made grand
finale to an active campaign, and helped
much to the glorious result. No one will
be more pleased than General Sigel when
he hears of the election of his old COM
rade and friend, Col. S. Meyer as Com
mon Pleas Judge, .aa.. 5.,
Many OF his old soldiers in this section
embraced the opportunity of greeting
their old commander, and we are glad to
say, still fight NIT sigel" for the Union,
and for those principles of peace and
good will which the General so eloquent
ly referred to and expressed in the terms
Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. From
our acquaintance with General Sigel we
came to the conclusion his popularity
and influence among men are the result
of his noble qualities of head and heart.
General Sigel is not a man of large
bodily proportions, but of medium size,
and though somewhat light of build, is
we'll knit and squarely put up. His age
is fifty-two. His residence is Morisania,
New York city eight miles from the Court
House. His participation in the late can
vass in Ohio and Indiana has been high
ly beneficial to the cause of Tlden, Hen
bricks and Reform. AN honor to the
noble efforts Of General Sigel in the
cause Of Truth, Justice and the Constitu-
tiOn. % .Urr .t... sE

OUR AFTERNOON MEETING, SAT-
URDdY.

SAeO@A
Owing to the cool temperature, was held
in the Opera House, the capacity of
which did not near accommodate the
people, for our earnest and noble friends
were in attendance from all parts of the
county to hear Governor Biger, Col Nc
Cook and Hon. A. Warren Kelsey, of
Missouri.
The only one of the three gentlemen
in attendance was Mr. Kelsey, the others
being compelled to do duty elsewhere
and forego their appointment here. Mr..
Kelsey having been on daily duty for
some time, was not in physical condi-
ton to make lengthy effort, but spoke
nevertheless for about an hour in a most
earnest and impressive manner. Mr..
Kelsey is a most accomplished gentle
man, devoted to the cause, and laboring
for the restoration Of good government
and business prosperity. ...
Mr.. Kelsey has been for years prom
inent citizen of St. Louis, though born
and brought up in Massachusetts,. He
remained at the Ogden House over Sun
day, and was much pleased with cur
town. He was to speak at Bellaire on
Monday, after which he intended to take
some much needed rest
Knowing that our long time and noble
friend Gen. Geo, W. Morgan would be
on the Q p. M, train going west, to speak
at Massillon in the evening, we were in
strumental in capturing him, getting
him into carriage and soon had the
gallant General at the Opera House, ready
to say few earnest and encouraging
words to the assembled crowd. After
the conclusion of Mr.. Kelsey's remarks,
Mr.. Sherrick, chairman of the meeting,
introduced
GENERAL MORGAN,
who was greeted by rousing and long
continued cheers. The General spoke
for half an hour or more in his happiest
vein, and was frequently interrupted
with applause. General Morgan was
considerably jaded by his continued
speaking, sometimes twice a day, and
also needed rest His meeting at Mas
sillon in the evening was grand success,
and contributed not little to the glori-
GUS result in that township. All honor
to those noble champions of Constitu-
tional right.
