\ Coon SUGGEsuoN.-The Portland
Bee, in abiding to the effects of the
terrible storm of wind, hail, rain and
lightning, which occurred in various
portions of the Western States, last
week, suggests that ten thousand dol
lars worth of pamphlets and circulars
should be distributed over the tract of
country visited by this storm while its
terrors are yet fresh in the minds of
the inhabitants, setting forth the fact
that such storms never occur on this
Coast, that here crops never fail from
any cause, and ightning-rod peddlers
are unknown. Every dollar so ex-
pended would bring an immigrant and
his family, and at least thousand dol
lars capital whether we have railroad or
no railroad. Under the present adj
ministration of affairs, no such organi-
zed and direct effort can be made; but
each individual can resolve himself or
herself into an immigration committee
of one, and send some paper or write a

OLYMPIA. SATURDAY. MORNING, NAY 10, 1876.
THE EFFECTS OF OPPOSITION.

There is but little doubt that an OPP
position line of steamers will soon be
placed on the Victoria route, and that
the rates of travel will be reduced to a
mere nominal figure, as has been the
case whenever a contest for the route
has been waged between contendipg
companies. Capt. Finch is repairing
the Anderson, and has resumed posses
of his wharf at the foot of Main Street,
with view of making it, as of yore, the
landing of his steamers Capt Starts
line will, we understand, hereafter land
at Percival's wharf, where quite as good
facilities are afforded for landing and
in shipping freight, or for obtaining the
ordinary supplies Of wood and water
There are many who appear elated
with the prospect of low fares, and the
increase Of travel which it effects. To
rs it appears that the advantages are
counterbalanced by the serious evils
which actual experience demonstrates as
aninvariable result of low rates of travel.
Such contests are always attended with
dearth of local trade Our merchants
are brought into competition with
those of Victoria and every other point
on the Sound which may possess
special advantages for some particular
branch Of business Hundreds of dollars
have been taken to Victoria for the pur-
chase of clothing and house furnishing
goods, which would have been spent
here but for the establishment of opposi-
ton lines, and we see no reason to hope
that the present contest will be of any
shorter duration than those which have
preceded it or the effects any less the
prostTating to local trade.
Another result is that when, after
much relentless contention, and the loss
of large sums of money, one Of the
companies buys the route from its COM
petitor, and the rates of freight and
passage Immediately advance to figures
which soon reimburse the owners for
previous losses The people derive a
brief advantage, more imaginary than
real, at the cost of present loss to bust
ness and the prospect of paying dearly
for whatever benefit may have resulted
from the struggle for supremacy. The
old expression that "Those who dance
must pay the piper" is as applicable in
steamboat matters as other transactions.

The italics are mine, and will serve
to call the readers attention more en-
phatically to the fact, that New York

election. In view of these facts, it

UPPER SNOQUALMIE VALLEY.

Mr.. J. CT. Janicke, the representa-
tive of colony of German emigrants
who intend to locate on the upper Sno-
qualmie river, imparts the following in
formation to the Snohomish Star:
There are vast bodies Of high maple
bottoms on both sides of the 9th Stand
ard Parallel, within an area of 20 miles
Of the line and river and about y from
Seattle. These lands are easily cleared.
The soil is black garden-mould resting
on gravely clay: the first named, a
vegetable soil, the last, ancient ocean
deposits. Besides this land, there is a
large body of fine farming land north of
the Tolf, tributary of the Snoqualmie.
The last named is an old burn, similar
to the Snoqualmie prairie, with the ex-
ception of being covered with a thick
growth of hazel, wild cherry, willow
and now and then q black alder. The
soil is a rich, deep, black, prairie loan,
resting on clay subsoil. This land
slopes toward the southeast. He thinks
some varieties of corn could be success
fully cultivated on these lands, provided
the new England or Canada variety is
planted, Mr., Janicke expects large
emigration of Germans and Scandina-
vians from the Western States, to occu-
Ply these lands the coming year He is
willing to give information to any one
seeking a home. His address is Falls
City, King county. He is no land
speculator, but citizen. fully identified
with the progress of that section Of
country.
1t is just such information as this
which should be made accessible to i'm
migrants, and it is the duty of every
citizen who has the welfare Of the Ter
ritory at heart to make known, through
the local press, such facts as may facili-
tate a choice of location. These con-
muncations will always be thankfully re-
ceived at this Office.
