THE A1gOnaut is the title OF new pa
per published at San Francisco. under
the auspices of the "Argonaut Publish
ing Company" at 522 California street.
1t 10 edited by Frank M. Pixley and
Fred nj. soners. All who have ever met
the genial Frank know he would not al
low his name to be used nor give his
time and versatile talents to AN enter
prise that would not eventually become
a literary success and reliable journal.
The paper is weekly, and will go to
press Saturday night in season for city
subscribers at the Sunday morning break
fast table. The proprietors aud publish
ers announce from the start that they
never intend to issue daily. it is an
eight-page paper, geographically neat,
aud iull of gooL solid reading, able edi
torisls, spicy sayings and appropriate
selections. 1t has been warmly well
coined by the press generally through
out the State, with the exception of the
CAL and Chronicle. It is not strange tor
them; they are jealous Of all newspaper
enterprises, both new and old. We
place it upon our exchange list, and in
another column will be found selection
from i,s pages.

would do well to secure some Of his

sonably.
Capt. McAmond is one Of the oldest
and most entcrprising settlers of that re-
gion. He is now engaged building n
vessel for the Sound trade. His residence
is one of the most beautiful farm resi-
cences in the Territory. The culture
and grace displayed by his wife and
daughter in adorning his beautiful home,
makes visit there one of the pleasant
spots of lite. That night we stopped
there, and the next morning returned to
our canoe landing, where meeting Mr.. De-
lanty, who had completed his business,

way back to Port Discovery. Mr.. Dens-

and returning with us.
Dungrnpss received its name from
early English nnvigatOrs who tancicd
that the numerous shoals and reefs around
its harbor bore resemblance to the
Dungcncss of the British Islands.
Its hrbor is formed by n long sand
spit extending out into the straits;
near the end of which is situated the
light house. The barbor is easily entered
with boats drawing less than ten feet Of
water; by those who know the channel.
Extending westward from Port Town.

harbors, as you go down the straits !;
first, Port Discovery bay, then Squim
bay, then Dungencss harbor. The prin-

Bay.
Dungeness is the natural outlet for n
tract of country extending from Squim
Bay to near Port Angeles being some
twenty-five miles frontage ON the

miles wide, before thefoot hills are reach.

tile prairie, some tide marsh, while most
of the land is low, well watercd, easily
cleared, not subject to overflow, and re-
semElcs in quality of soil the ordinary
river bottoms.
Less rains are met here than anywhere
else in Western Washington. Much of the
soil is well adapted to the raising Of
wheat; Of which large quantities are an
nualIy produced.
The special wants Of this section to se-
cure It's early settlement and permanent
prosperity, are regular steam communi-
cations with Port Townsend no less than
twice week. The kind OF boat needed
for this route is side wheel steamer,
trifle smaller, yet something like the
Libby, only switter Then there should
be erected steam Touring mill. Enough
wheat is grown to keep one running at
present; while now farmers wishing to
sell their wheat and get flour in exchange,
with their present means of communca-
