since, we were invited by Mr.. William
Dclanty, who had been our travelling
companion for sometime previously. to
accompany him to Dunginess; this cour-
teous invitation was gladly accepted.
The Discovery mill being situated off
regular steamboat line oi travel, finds 1t
convenient to keep some one constantly
employed ON the outside, keeping track
OF the state of market, supply andquaIlty
of longs offered for sale, &c, This grntlc.
man has attended to all this class of
business for this company for several
years past, in such II manner as to fully
justify the confidence rrposed in him by
the company, as well as to secure the
friendship and esteem Of all with whom
he transNcts their extensive business.
This time, Mr.. ID. was about taking
some supplies to the company's logging
camps, situated u few miles this side of
Dungnrss. Leaving about the middle
Of the forrNoon, with fair wind and
tide, in about four hours we reached the
roll way of the logging camp, some four
teen miles from Discovery, and about six
from Dung ness. Here for some time
past, logs have been hauled prottably by
means OF trucks, over logging railway,
in manner similar to that used by
Blackman Bros, of this place
At the place where this road termin-
ates IN the beach, is situated quite an
extensive settlement of Cirilized Indians,
who, several years ago, purchased OF Mr..
D., this tract of band, to improve and
cultivate. The Mill Company, at the
time of sale, restrvlng to themselves the
right of-way, tor logging purposes, for
term Of years. These Indians have
cleared the ground, supported themselves
by their own labor, chiefly in raising
vegetables, etc, and put up buildings,
many OF which would compare well with
the improvements made by white set
tiers.
Leaving Mr. D.. to attend 10 his bust
ness, we went up the beach towards the
town of ofDunginess, soon coming across
the Rev. Chas. McDermoth, who for
several months past, has been teaching
school and preaching at that place. This
gentleman plared us under many obliga
tions by making as acquainted with
large number Of people there; going
with us over large portion of the settle
ment, and rendering every assistance in
his power. His home is in Seattle, to
which place he was then about return
ing.
The walk towards Dunglness was, part
of the way, along beautiful sand and
gravelly beach, then through fertile, cul.
tiyated fields to the town of Dunginess,
making the acquaintance on the way OF
A. U. Davis |. +. Merchant, A. Hendcr
son, Capt. e. II. McAlmond, besides Geo
Entricken, who came up from Discovery
with us in the canoe. At the town we
found Mr.. +. A. Bartlett, for number
of years a resident of this county, at one
time business partner of Mr.. NJ. McNa-
mara, at QuaIco. He is now the post
master, as we'll as County Auditor of
Clallam County. His brother G. e. Bart
lett, owns the principal store, and the
hotel building, Mr.. +. A. Bartlett assist
ing him in the management OF the store.
Here we had very pleasant time, also
met Mr.. Appleby, who formerly worked
on the river, and who lett here some
mouths ago to work there. On leaving
Snohomish, he subscribed and paid for
the STAR, so we found these gentlemen
well informed on our work, and ready TO
extend to us every assistance in their
power. BY their assistance, and thc cnurte
Gus attentions of Mr.. McDermoth, and
Capt. McAlmond, we not only acquired II
large amount of information in very
short space of time, but also secured
liberal addition to the support for the
STAR. Another old time resident OF
Snohomish, is doing business in that
town, Capt. G. N. Levitt, who was con
nected with this river some sixteen or
more years ago. He made numerous in.

settlers Elliot Cline is one of the lead
