FROM THE DAILY OF WEDNESDAY.

NORWEGIAN EMIGRANTs.-The Tribune
learnes from resident of the Stilliguamish
country, in Snohomish county, that a
great many Norwegians are settling on the
fertile lands of that vicinity. New ones arc
going there all the time and all stay that go.
An agent, Mr. Iverson by name, selected the
location for them, and upon his recommen-
dation these people are coming. Several
came up on the Dakota, and several more
have been wintering at Steilacoom, with the
intention of going to the Steilliguamish. Mr..
Ivcrson says that his own and a number of
other families are at this time journeying
from the East towards Puget Sound, and he
estimates that no less a number than one
hundred families will come before the year
is over. These Norwegians are as good a
class of cmigrants as our Territory can pos
sbly be peepled with, as they are noted the
world over for their industry, economy, hon
est dealing and steady habits. Let them
come by thousands, and they will all be well
come.
THE subscribers to the stock of the new
ht-draught steamboat contemplated by
Capt. Parker and others, held a meeting at
Mr.. Evans Office last evening, and a prelim-
mary organization was effected. Mr.. Barnes
was elected Treasurer, and it was decided to
incorporate under the laws of the Territory.
Scven-tenths of the stock has already been
taken, which is an indication that the project
will be carried to successful termination.
A DISPATCH fromNew Westminster says
that w. r. Lewis, a stage driver at that place,
holds the ticket which drew the capital prize
in the Seattle Gold Coin Lottery. 1t was,
as stated yesterday, No. .91S. The larger prizes
drawn were as follows: $500 prize, No. 81
G'3; $500 prize, No. 4611; 800 prizes, Nos.
1864, $3.50, 4.j3 and 4101; $50 prizes, Nos.
1896, 1893, 5.S, 549G, 1872, 1892, G3S, $1135,
1892, 4iS1, 41s9, 4019 and 4S17.
THERE will be three steamers per month
to this place from San Francisco, leaving
that port on the 10th, Goth and Both of each
month, and this place on or about the 9th,
10th and Goth. The charges for freight are
now 81 per ton to Victoria, s. to Seattle
and So 30 to Olympia. The price of pas
sage from or to the Sound in the cabin, is $50.
\ WRITER at New Dunginess, states that
there is quite an excitement on account of
the Indians making preparations for war
with a tribe on the other side of the Straits.
1t seems that some claim Indians killed a
Cowhican chief, and that his relations are
coming across to have revenge. The Clal
aims are looking for assistance from the
Neah Bay Indians in this emergency.

PATIENCE AND HER WORKS.

The Vancouver Independent, in an ar
ticle endorsing our views on the require
ments of the hour, from financial and
business point of view, in this and other
communities which are temporarily un-
der a cloud, closes with the following
words:
The inherent Impotence to grow rap
idly in wealth and population, so char
acteristic of the people of the west, is
the power, or rather the means by
which the power urges the empire star
on its westward course; but the peace
of mind necessary to steady harmoni-
GUS growth of a community comes only
from temperate and judicious effort in
the different lines of home productions
such as above mentioned. Impotence
is O sort of nervous ether which sur
rounds the new community, and thus
surrounding impels it to take rapid
strides toward material prosperity; but
the humble and patient effort of the
humber and more patient class of in
dividuals is after all the true basis of all
prosperity.
With the Columbia River, Puget
Sound, Gray's Harder, Shoalwater Bay
and the great Pacific tapping our west
ern border, as commercial roadsteads,
Washington Territory has the world
waiting at her doors ready to receive
her surplus productions in exchange
for the boarded representative of value,
money. The cry of hard times will
cease when the people dismiss from
their minds the undue impotence to
jump Immediately from poverty TO opu-
lence and go to raising and preserving
fruit, planting potatoes and studying
how to properly house and care for
crops. Railroads are generally built
when they are needed and not before,
and the hard-earned wealth of the To-
cal capitalist will not be invested in
such expensive luxuries until the actual
demand is commensurate with the
great outlay of capital necessary to their
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1876-04-08
FROM THE DAILY OF MONDAY.

On the 30th of April the present Interna
Revenue Tax year will expire. That being
the case it behooves all dealers in liquor
beer, tobacco, cigars, etc, to lay aside tho
currency to pay their tax for the ensuing
year prior to May list. The law imposes g
heavy fine and penalty for doing business
without having paid the tax. Many persons
have an idea that they can sell tobacco to an
amount not exceeding one hundred dollars
without. paying a tax, but this is erroneous
The sale of tobacco or cigars in any quantity
no matter how small, requires the payment
of the tax. Loggers, mill men, and pedders
at fair, picnics, etc, will govern themselves
accordingly.

SCHOOL WS.

We have heard Of a good deal of inquiry
regarding the changes made in the Common
School Laws, at the last session, so we pub.
lish the following two short laws, which
comprise all the legislation on the subject
that was perfected.
The first is an amendment to the Common
School law, passed, in 1878, and reads as
follows:
SECTION /. BE it enacted By the Legislature
assembly Of the Territory Of Washington, That
section nine of chapter five OF said act shall
read as follows: "Dstr;cts having less than
fifteen scholars between the ages of four and
twcnty.one years shall be exempt from the
requirements af the three preceding sections,
and may, by organizing and reporting to the
Observation-Disclosures to law, draw their
proportion of: the school money without
being required to comply with the provisions
of the school law any farther than the said
organization; necessary reports and regular
enumeration of children are conccrncd; and
in such districts two legal voters shall con-
stitute quorum to do business; and it shall
be the duty of the clerk of such districts to
let out all county school funds so received,
at interest, for ;the use of the district, on
good security, Antil such time as it may be
The clerk of the district and his successor
and securities shall also be responsible for
such moneys"
SEC 2. 1t SHALL be the duty of the dircc-
tors to appoint place for holding all school
meetings, and they may also appoint clerk
pro TEN, in the absence of the clerk.
The second provides for levying a special
school tax, as fellows:
SECTION /. BE 1t enacted Iy the Legislative
assembly Of the Territory Of Washington, Tina.
the legal voters pf any school district in this
Territory, may, once in each year, levy a
special school tax for the support of common
schools, not exceeding two mills on the dol
lar on the tax levy for the current year, by
submitting the same to the voters of said
school district at an election to be called for
that purpose; IrOrided, a majority of said
voters vote in the affirmative, and not other
wise; Procidtd, That the provisions of this
act shall not apply to Columbia county.

CHEAP NOTORITY.

There is so much truth in the loun-
taineer's discourse on this subject, that
we copy its article almost entire If
its sentiments could only find an cchs
in the breasts OF some very deyout peo-
pie, the world would be better for the
change that would be affected. That
journal says:
It is the fashion amongst certain
class of minds to attain for themselves
cheap notoriety, by abusing others.
1t matters not in what department OF
life you may find them they always ap-
pear to think that any excellence in
another person is SO much detraction
from themselves; and they would at
tain pre-eminence, in the only way pos
sible for them, by pulling every one..else
below their level.
You may find them in the pulpit, at
the bar, as practitioners in medicine, in
the field of journalism, in the arena OF
politics, and also in the so-callea lower
walks of life. If in the pulpit they will
draw for while, gaping crowd who
prefer to hear some earnest christian
slandered, or some branch of the church
universal ridiculed, rather than listen
to a gospel which will invite them high
er in thought and aim. If at the bar,
this same class will brow-beat witnesses
will gather up all the false steps of
years in the history of the opposite par
ty in any case, will seek to blacken the
characters Of lawyers, witnesses, and all
sympathizers with their opponents, to
make the public believe, if possible that
grander set of villains do not exist. If
you meet them as physicians, they will
roundly abuse every practitioner who
may differ with them, and will decry
every other school of medicine than that
in which they were ground out. In
journalism and politics this type of
mind finds its most acceptable sphere.
In party strife fine opportunity is af-
orded to stir up and throw mud, and
these are not slow to take advantage Of
it; they live on carrion; the healthy food
of honest argument, and fair dealing
they have no relish for, sophis,ns, per-
sonalities, scurrilous jokes their relish,
their chosen ailment.
We submit that it is time such state
of things were changed; the place for it
is in the dark ages, along with inquis-
itions and torture, the rack and the
thumbscrews. 1t belongs to the same
class as the knock-down argument of
| the pugilist, OF the drawn weapons Of
the desperado. We have been glad to
see that some of our public men have
within few years dropped this style
as unworthy of themselves and of the
politics of a great, enlightened people;
especially worthy of mention in this
respect are the names of our two last
Presidents, the late Henry Wilson
and, still living, though retired from
public life, Schuyler Colfax. Some OF
our leading newspapers have taken a
similar course in journalism; have been
fearless frank, honest, independent,
pure, and two with which we are well
acquainted, The Public Ledger Of Phil
adelphia. and the Etening Post, of New
York, have tested it for years and
have proven it to the road of success.
