The following items were gathered in
our last run over this valley.
The farmers on the flats were very busy
hauling, stacking and cutting their grain.
They have no steam thresher there yet,
so cut, haul, stack or put in the barn,
then thresh after tho grain is all gather
ed next year they will probably have
one or more steam threshers there, so as
to save the work of stacking, and be
able to thrcsh the grain from the shock.
The yield is all that can be desired.
Several ranchers stated that their oats and
barley would yield eighty bushels to the
acres.
A great deal OF land is being ceded to
grass; before long the land will be in
almost perfect condition to go extern
sively into the dairy business. In fact,
no more profitable business could be
found than starting a cheese factory at

Mr.. Myres called our attention to the
matter complaining of it somewhat bit
terly. We examined into the matter
carefully then and promised to present
the exact facts Of the case to our readers.
On our return from Seattle last week we
stopped few hours at Mukilteo. Mr..
M. again showed his anxiety by talking
very earnestly in regard to the matter.
We were then on our way to Centreville
in small boat, ana did not reach Snoho-

is our first opportunity to explain the
matter, yet we find Mr.. Myers becomes
so gery Gnri0us i'll regard to the matter
that he sends "a lengthy complaint to the
Mteltjgencer Of last Tuesday as il some
great wrong had been done his tender

The result of our inquiries are that it
WAS mainly owing to the enterprising
efforts Of our friend II. G. Vining that
Messrs. Jackson, Myers & Co. were in

Leaving Bay we w on ihuls''"Y Au-
gust 23d, IA strong breeze from the south
brought us to Mr.. March's place on
Fidago Island in very short time.
This is one Of the celebrated chicken and
fruit ranches of the Sound. The fruit
trees were bent to the ground under Their
accumulated burden. After partaking
of his hospitality, we lett the skitf there,
and all getting in sheriff Aliens boat,
soon found ourselves at the new town
site. Several times had we previously
passed through Guemes or Ship Harbor
channel in going to or returning from
Belliugham Bay, but this was our first
tine ashore.
This channel separates Fidal9o and
Guemes Islands, is about four miles long,
and perfectly land locked There is
about fifty feet depth of water from
shore to shore. The holding ground is
excellent. No sediment or drift ever
accumulates there, nor is there any shoal
waters along the shores, it sloping oft ut
such an angle, that any stage of the tide,
IL person can land from small boat on
tle beach in slippers, without wetting
his feet.
This place is only about twelve miles
from Ii Conner and the Swinomish flats,
and is so situated that it is only fifteen
miles off the direct route of the ocean
steamers after they leave Port Townsend
for the sea, Ships, at oil times OF the
year, can sail in and out of the harbor
without towage, making the necessary
towage nearly nominal This is some
thing that navigators will appreciate.
A railroad can be built from here,
crossing the north end of the Swino-
niish slough and the flats just south ui
Bay View, and opening up great a
mount of very fertile open marsh, thence
up the Skagit river TO the Skagit coal
fields, while a branch could be profitably
run from the lower Skagit to this place,
so as to open up great tracts OF very
fertile marsh and bottom land. near to
and along side of heavy timbered tracts,
and at the same time strike the great
coal field situated near the upper Stilla-
guamish, and between the Skagit and
Sn0homish. Then vita the extension
of the Seattle and Walla Walla r. r. to
Snoqualmie pass and eastward of the
mountains, by extending this roy d up to
Falls City, this new town could control
both the Snohomish and Sk"git Vallies.
These, with the Stillaguamish, Swino-
mish amp Samish regions, would build
up very large place in a very short
time, We know nothing about the in
tentions OF, or the capital the townsite
owners have to invest; yet this we do
know, that the resources Of these Sec
tions are such that such road, built on
the narrow gage plan, would be self sus-
,ainIng from the start, as fast as con.
sttucted.

this experiment on the Sound. They
made no effort to get labels printed lol
the Sound fishery, alleging lack of time
and the desire to save all unnecessary ex-
pense in this so successfully conducted
experiment; but they brought with them
the Columbia river labels, which read AZ

adoption of rash measures to effect any change

adoption Of rash measures to effect any change,
we are decidedly of the opinion that the pc.
culiar circumstances of the country render q
change in the fence law necessary. This
change should not be brought about against
the will of the people but by their will.
Whatever legislative enactment may be made
with regard to this matter, should be not of
the nature of an edict which must be obeyed ;
but of the nature of liberty. In other words,
in our judgment, no legislative enactment
should be adopted by our legislators which
says the people shall fence their stock; but a
law should be enacted which will grant the
people of the State, by townships, the priv.
ilege to meet, and, by their votes, make the
proposed change in the fence law if they de.
sire it. The final details of ratifying the law,
making the change binding, could be easily
and safely, for all parties, provided for in the
law itself. Such an enactment would be in
perfect harmony with the spirit of American
liberty. In the event that the people of the
State, or portions of the State, declare, by
their vote, that they desire change in the
fence law, then let the change be made by
law. Should the vote of any section of the
State decide against change, then let no
change be made in that section. This seems
fair, and we think is fair to all concerned.
The question is not one of politics, but one
that concerns the prosperity of every individ'
ual of every political creed in the State.

GOVERNOR HAMPTON IN CHARLESTON

On the occasion of his recent visit to Charles.
ton, Governor Hampton was waited upon by
the line officers of the First Regiment Ma
tional Guards, (colored) who, in written me-
mortal which they addressed to the Governor,
asked if it is bis intention to recognize the
militia regiments as at present organized.
To the memorial and the remarks Of Cap
tain Young, by whom it was presented, Gov.
Hampton replied that he was exceedingly glad
to have met the committee, and assured them,
that so far as his power extended, he would
lend them every facility in organizing and
enrolling their companies among the legal
militia of the State. Iwaut you, he said, to re-
member one fact, that recognize in your race
the right to enjoy precisely the same right en-
joyed by every other citizen of the State. l
recognize your equality, and intend to up
hold it. As soon as we can get in harness, l
will enroll you in the militia, and will take
great pleasure in commissioning such officers
as you may designate. When the militia law
is enforced, and when the military of the State
is all enrolled, 1 want the only emulation be-
tween the companies to be, who can obey the
laws best, who can be the best soldiers, and
who can best protect the public peace.
"Capt. Young said :"Allow me, Governor,
to return our thanks for the courteous man
ner in which you have received us, hoping
that you will give our memorial an early and a
favorable reply, and assuring you that it is
our sole desire to render the regiment as efti'
cient as possible" ..'. 49,.
Capt. w. j. Lawton inquired whether there
would be a reorganization, or whether the
regiment would retain its present status and
officers.
Gov. Hampton replied that as soon as be
could give the memorial careful considera.
tion, he could better answer the questions
propounded, "but," he continued, 81 will say
here that I fully recognize and appreciate your
rights, as any other citizens of he State, to
bear arms and form your volunteer compa-
Mes" ......
Capt. Lawton assured the Governor that it
