EHiior Star! In company with Mr.,
Alexander Ross. lately madea thorough
exploration Of Stevens Lake, and the
surrounding shores \ few facts may
be interesting to your readers hence
send them for publication in the STAR.
Lake Stevens is u beautiful body ol
water lying about six miles north OF
Snohomi.h City. 1t is somewhere about
from three to four and half miles long
and perhaps two or tWn and half mi es
broad, These figures may not be correct
AS they are only given ns the result OF Il
rough estimate. The lake is not more
than two miles in n direct line from
Ebpvs SIOu gh and the surface is probu-
hly two hundred and fifty iect above tine
ocean level. It is surrounded hy gently
rising ground covered with dense tim
me- mostly; though | should not say
the timber s first class. \ fine view Ct
the Cascade Mountains can be lad from
several points around the margin ot the
Lake. Sy,ra good claims can be Sc
cured with water front, though most
Of the land is bght and graveIIy. There
are indications DIlHt the outlet OF the
Lake once led down the slope into
Ebeys Slough. But in someway the
outlet was dnnmcd up probably hy the
~s,av,uwrts- ttlr- rurtts-5 r,r,l the rise ,orced
the water East ward, into the valley ol
Pill Chuck. There is some excellent
land along the bottom of this new
stream. And have little doubt but by
clearing out / lew beaver dams, first
rate water power can be secured. A few
families desiring to settle together in Il
most beautiful and healthtul locality,
with lake and forest and snow clad
mountains and clouds and sky to feast
upon, III ght do far worse than take a
circle around Stevens Lake, before de-
termining upon location.

Who and what is Tilden! He is a man
who received his political education from
Martin Van Buren,. He Is the man who
devised nearly every mammoth railway
consolidation sheme that has been con-
summateG in this country; he is the great
railway wrecker of the age. He IS the
man who in 1840 withdrew from public
life because, as his biographer says, "he
twas able to discern at that early period
4the importance, in this country at least,
"of pecuniafy Independence for the
successful prosecution Of . political
career" and embarked in the profession
ofrailway wrecking. He was secession

Harwood, of the TRANSCRIPT, and
Hotchkiss IF the Republican, both of
Austin, are having an interesting, but Bit
ter CONTROVERSY through their respective
papers, Hotchkiss in his last article of
three columns evidently throws up the
sponge, and will appeal to the, lay. He
says:
aWhatever he Harwoodl said in his
Replication" derogatory to US personally
is basely false, and ct the proper time, he
will be called upon for the proof under
pains and penalties"
Now this is none Of our fight, but we
may be allowed to ray, that If we were in
the place of Major H0tchkiss, We: would
certainly prefer lighting it out on the pres
ent line rather than 60 to law, for the
chances are about ten to one that Har.
wood will prove every charge he has made.

Hotchkiss has been made to think that
it would have good effect politically to
associate our name with that of Sylvester
Smith, and then al1ege that we are work.
ing hand in matchmaking common cause
against the Page crowd. Accordingly for
several weeks he has sounded the alarm,
but nobody Except the old man and Howe)
seems to have caught it. We don't know
how Mr.. Smith spends his time, or where. |
Neither does Hotclkiss, but since he
thinks something may be gained by lying
about Mr.. Smith, the old villain does it |
from week to week regularly. As for our
self, we had not prior to the first day of
the present week been away from home
to say word about politics since the last |
convention was held, but we would not
have any suppose that we shall wilfully
neglect to look after the interests of the |
public in this campaign. Hotchkiss has !
been told that in some localities he might |
strengthen the Page interest by making 1t |
appear that Judge johnson is candidate !
tor office, hence it is trumpeted about
through the organ that "Dan" johnson is |
going to be member of the Legislature"
and Immediately all the Pageitcs join in !
the proclamation. "Hotcll" acts a.
though the republicans of this county
were children to be protected, rather than
men, able to take care of themselves. He i
may as we'll know that the time has gone
by here when one man, or half dozen
men constituted the party, the petty ty.
rant who once dictated terms to better
men than himself, no longer holds sway
in the political arena. He is estimated at
just s9shat he is WORTH single ballot.
Thespoint is this. The political regency
SO long in power here, seem still to believe
that the people may be deceived, or fright
ened, or coaxed, or scared, or driven into
the wholesale support of given candi.
date, or that they may be made with uni
ted voice to denounce him;-whichevcr
the will of the managers may determine,
and ''that's where they make their mis-.
take" Intelligence and familiarity with
public affairs render the republicans of
Mower county capable of deciding for
themselves, and they are getting used toI
that way of doing business and they re-
gard 1t as the right way, and they will sui:
fer no innovations upon their high priv.
leges OF citizenship, the privilege of cast
ing their ballot without constralnt or mo-
lestation. The Republicans of this coun-
ty, not the Pageites, nor the dcciples of
