County Politics.

Now that calls have been issued for
both county conventions, men begin 10
think somewhat upon the subject of who
shall be the servants or the pegp'e in our
county tor the next two years.
So far little party interest or party feel.
jnc has been manifested; the main desire
hcing to secure the services of those best
qualified to fill the respective offices, in
dependent of party considerations
Very few persons have really announced
themselves as candidates, so it is hard as
yet to say what local features our fall
canvass will assume.
There seems to be one exception to
this in the Auditors office. This
comes the nearest to being paying
Office Of, perhaps, any in the county.
A short time since quite q number OF
worthy men were spoken of as prob
able candidates, but quite recently the
name of Mr. John SWEET being suggested
as a suitable person, well qualified to
perform the duties Of the Office and en-.
titled to received by reason of the severe
physical injuries received, making it i'm
possible for him to work again tor a long
time to come. Men of all parties as far
as heard from have UNANIMOUSLY ap-
proved of the suggestion, and every can
didate as far as we are informed has for
mally declined to run against Mr.. SWEET.
We suggest that it would he suitable
testimonial of respect tor him in his
misfortune, as we'll as an endorsement OF
him as a man, tor each party to nominate
him, on their respective tickets, and
make no contest for that Office.
Nearly one year ago Mr. Ward was
appointed to this office. The amount of
his other business prevented him at
tending to the duties of the office in
person. We have performed for him
most Of the Office. The pressure Of our
business makes it no object to continue
in the performance of it's duties; there
fore by consent and authority OF Mr..
Ward, We also offer 10 turn the office,
with all the fees attached to it, over to
MrsSwett, for him to perform its duties,
as soon as he IS able. Provided that he
should be able before January first to at
tend to its duties.

Opinions.

We have ever tried to make the STAR
liberal, progressive and representative of
the interests of the community. Among
our chief objects are the building up and
developing the local as well as the intel
lectual interests of Western Washington.
To accomplish this we must have orig
inal information, giving accurate knowl-
edge Of what is t,king place likely to
aid in the cause of intellectual aud social
develop ment In other words we wish
facts. To OBJ ain tn m we have been
compelled to travel on an average Of one
thousand miles a month since starting
the STAR; while in each local commu-
nifty we always found number of per.
sons we'll acquainted with their local
matters, that without trouble to them
selves they could easily have written
them up for us in better shape than we
could do from our hurried trip through
their settlemect; while throwing the
door open tor opinions, more articles are
furnished than we possibly can find room
for except we exclude all other matter
We might do this, were it not that the
more eager parties are to contest about a
mere opinion, the more likely is it to he
upon some subject which in the nature
ut things neither Of the disputants can
ever know anything about.
For the past month or two the STAR
has been flooded with this class of arti
'cles, nearly all exceedingly well written,
full OF vigorous attack or cutting reply /;
hut we fancy many of our readers have
had enough OF this matter for while,
and desire rest, or at least change.
Will not some ofour correspondents who
WELD so vigorous pens take pains to
hunt up facts and write upon practical
subjects, for it is by the gathering of
facts, the study OF natural subjects and
present the results in the STAR, we expect
10 benefit the community, an hundred
fold more than we do by criticisms and
controversies, let them be never so ably
carried on.

will increase the area Of land for cultiva-

There are some twenty. five families

Last week Monday morning found us

Nellie was ready to take her trial trip to

our readers that Mr.. Utter expects to be

The stillaguaInish Crops.

Our esteemed friend Esq Oliver has
heen in town couple of days the past
week, perfecting arrangements for NOV
ing his family to town this fall. He has
kindly furnished us with the following
items relating to crops, &c, on the Still
laguamish.
Henry Oliver has about 100 acres un-
der cultivation, 80 acres grass, balance
grain.
Peter wilkinson has 11S acres under
cultivation, about rs acres in barley and
oats.
Thos. Ovenell has 1870 acres in cultiva.
tion, 15 acres grass, balance grain. j.
Mcdonald has about 80 acres under cul-
tivation, 20 acres grass, balance grain.
WIN. Hunt has 40 acres under cultiva-
tion, nea'ly all grain.
W. B. Moore has about 100 acres in
cultivation, about 80 acres grass, the rest
grain.
F. Hanco, has 65 acr in cultivation,
20 acres grass, balance grain.
Mrs. j. Bradley, Mr.. ]. v. Cook, and
Peter uunderson have each about forty
acres under cultivation nearly all in
grain. This includes nothing but marsh
land under cultivation this year, on the
S,ilIaguamish fats.
About 100 tons of hay will be for sale
above home consumption from up river.
The crops raised up river consists
principally of vegetables and hay; very
little grain being raised there.
Vegetables for home consumption are
raised on the flats; few being raised for
sale. FL. Oliver has some 40 tons of car.
rots for sale.
Mcssrs. Oliver and Thompson have
some 14O head of hogs to sell off this
fall. Peter Wilk nson can sell some 60
or 20 head of fat hogs.
About 1000 Ks of butter will be pro-
duced above home consumption this
year on the flats. The wet weather has
lodged the grain, prolonging the harvest ;
but, the present fine weather con-
tinues three weeks longer, it will all be
secured in good shape.
The blight has affected the potato
crop on the marsh as well as up river,
will not average over half crop.
o, d. Iverson has some 80 acres OF
gram on Geo. F. Kylcs place not in
cluded in the above enumeration, There
is between $50 and 200 acres IN cultiya.

Resolutions Of the seaate H.ib-
eral Asa0ciatiOn.

RESOLVED: By the Literal Association
of Seattle that the thanks of this Associ-
alton are due to A. G. Edmunds, ESQ,
for the able manner in which he defenued
the Liberal cause at Seattle during his
recent visit.
ResOlccd: That Bro. Edmunds main
tanned his position against Rev. George
Edwards during their recent debate, by
incontrovertiblc arguments, and in
style and manner which entitle him to
rank among The abest debaters on the
Pacific Coast.
ResOlped! That the newspapers OF
this city did not do justice to Bro. Ed
monds, tor that an immensely crowded
hall during his debate with Rev. George
Edwards, on vote being taken, Bro.
Edmunds was sustained almost unani
mously, there being 10 more than three
dissenting votes.
Resolred: That Bro. Edmunds did
much good 10 this city during his recent
visit for which We are truly grateful to
him.
ResoiVed: That whereas, the Christ
ians boasted that Bro. Edmunds could
not obtain hearing in Seattle, never
theless, on delivering his farewell ect-
ure in this city, he was greeted by the
largest and most enthusiastic audience
that ever attended religious services Of
any kind in this city, our and his most
sanguine expectations being more than
realized
Resoired That the thanks OF this AS
sociation are also due to Rev. George
Edwards for having the manhood, can
dor, fairn ess and pluck to come out like
man and meet Bro. Edmunds in debate
instead of sheltering himself from contro
yersy behind the pulpit--a practice
Characteristic of the clergy of this city,
and, we believe OF tile clergy oil the coun q
try gcnemliy.
Resolrcd: That n copy Of these reso-
!utious be rendered to each Of the news
papers in this city and to the NORTHERN
STAR for publication, and copy for
warded to Bro. Edmunds and copy to
the Secretary Of the Liberal Association,
Por tland, Oregon.
