MUKlLTEo SALMON. N.-We are informed
that some one in Oregon has raised the
story on Jackson, Myers & Co., that they
had taken Puget Sound salmon over to
Oregon and sold them as Columbia river
salmon. We know this to be false, first
because We have been ON the steamers
when most of their salmon were taken
to Seattle to 20 to San Francisco direct :;
and secondly Mr.. Myers informs us that
no salmon have gone from his cannery
to Oregon, except case or two taken to
his fIiends there to compare with the
Columbia river salmon. All the salmon
sold by him, have been sold by the case
under the stencil mark of put up ut
Mukilteo, w. t." and he never has
wished to represent them as anything
else.
lie regrets the use of the Columbia
river label on the cans; would not have
used it ut all, 1t lie had, had more time
to get ready before coming here, or ii he
had supposed there would be so good II
chance for his business on the Sound.
He says that. had he known the class
of salmon now coming, were to come in
su1h quantities, he would in addition to
the Mukilteo cannery, have erected
another one at Snohnmish City, as these
salmon are not eXcclled ior canning pur-
poses by any in the world.

teacher may be ever so attentive, and
careful, may bring every power to bear
upon their scholars to make the hours

Quite an accession to our numbers was

The Canning Business.

The present years experience is
enough to satisfy this community of the
folly Of depending on any one branch Of
business. Those who need to say that
logs are the only thing to lie depended
on here, are more than satisfied that they
are no longer to be depended on, and
that some other branch of business must
be resorted to, if success is secured.
Among those kinds Of business that
promise the most for this valley is the
canning in Theoretically sealed cans OF
fish. fruits, vegetables, &c.
The firm of Jackson, Myers & Co.,
have made the canning Of salmon at
Mukilteo splendid success. They au-
thorize us to state that the silver side
salmon, now running in such inexhaust-
able quantities. are unexcelled by any
other fish for canning purposes. The
cannery at MukilteosxIll be kept there
permanently. they also say, that, it
they can make the proper arrangements
they will next year erect another cannery
at Snohomish City, or some other point on
this river. At each cannery, they will
purchase all small fruits and vegetables
for canning purposes that can be raised.
When we reflect that each one of these
cannerics employ as much capital and us
many men as eight or ten logging camps,
and that they will effect permanent
regular market each for 10000 pounds
and upwards OF small fruits per day, for
the whole fruit season, it is readily seen,
that what these gentlemen have the cap
ital, as we'll as desire to do, if accepted
and acted upon, would he worth more
to this valley then all the lumber mills
of the Territory.
In no other business are the profits SO
great in proportion to the capital re-
quired. as the raising of small fruits,
where there is market.
Every farmer, or settler, who has an
acre OF cleared land, can set out and
tend On acre of strawberries, rasp-
berries, or blackberries and increase his
orchard of plums, cherries, &c.
Cheap labor can be procured in un-
limited quantities to pick the fruit. The
canneries, will purchase it, and perhaps
after a while Plummer or Alden fruit
dryer may he added, so that all will be
sold at good prices. The market IS
unlimited.
The cost of raising and cultivating is
nominal, and these gentlemen will pay
cash for the fruit as soon as picked.
Should there be no cannery established
on this river, this year. it will doubtless
come the year after, while all fruits raised
here and the Stillaguamish flats can be
taken in quantities to Mukilteo next
year, aud there they will command the
cash. We hope to see this fall and next
spring a thousand acres in this county
set out to small fruits, to be raised for
canning purposes. What farmers will
be the first to start into this safe, pleas
ant, and profitable enterprise.

GLOBE DISTRICy.-We were much pleased this week to meet E. NJ. Pearce of Globe, who passed through en-rOute to San Francis, co for the purchase of supplies &c. He is Postmaster at Globe and proprietor of much of the finest property in that District. He confirms all the descriptions already given us of the rich mines Of that section, and gives much interesting information.
 Four mills are now at work on Globe ores, and two smelling fur, nace5, besides one furnace engaged in reduction of copper ores. The country is one of the most beauti- ful in Arizona; though elevated and rolling, it is not broken. The hills are clothed in finest grass of perennial green, and crowned with magnificent timber, while their feet are hathed in rivulets Of pure mountain water. A good saw-mlll supplies lumber of any dimension from grand sugar 3and white pines of from 3 to 10 feet diameter.
 Within eight miles of Globe is a body Of choice farming land, not extensive, but still large enough to supply fruits and vegetables to the District for many years. Hay is cut from the natural grasses The winters are mild and pleasant, and live stock thrive5 well. The town is larger than Florence and already does large business. The enterprising firm of Jos.
