NEW SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

T. r,;1I be remembered that our citizens
(tbose who voted) at our last school election
cast their ballots in favor of the erection OF
two new school houses; one at the north ana
the other at the south end Of the city. since
then orr School Trustees have been active in
looking up eligible sites for these locations
Some time since five lots were purchased Ill
the north end, northwest of General Robert
NJ Clarke's residence, on which there Is
new building large enough to accommodate
the nroposed school The cost of the house
and lots was 81. 100, and it is proposed to alter
and fit up the building for the purpose tor
which it is intended, without delay Inc
need of a school building, especially tor
primary department, has long peen ielt;
While the distance to the present schooi
building is considerable, the risk run IN send
;nc small children across the track is very
GREAT and the danger long felt by parents will
inns be obviated. Yesterday the Trustees
visited the south end of the town to take a
look at property there. Several lots were
offered but the figures generally were nigh,
prices ranging almost 80 per cent. higher than
in the section north of the railroad. We I'M
derstand that majority of the Board have
decided upon the purchase of lot from Mr..
Klein. situated two blocks west OF George 1.
Davis store, for the sum of 800. 1t IS their
intention, we believe, to proceed with the
erection of the necessary building as early as
possible. With these two new school houses
the present as we'll as the prospective wants
of the district will be amply supplied, and
orr citizens NAV be congratulated on being
second to no district in the State, in proper
ZION to the number of census children.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE. We are informed
that active preparations are being made by
Hon S P. Kelly, Superintendent of Public
Instruction with the assistance of several
County Superintendents and teachers, for
the holding of State Teachers Institute at

1t is intended to be first class affair, con-
Quoted entirely by home talent, no lecturers

THE GRAIN TRADE.

We yesterday received q visit from
Mr.. Conner, Of La Conner, the center
of growing and opulent agricultural
section of this Territory. He informs
us that the area of land to be cultivated
during the coming season will be nearly
double what was sOwn in grain during
tho past year, and that there will be an
average yield of over one ton per acre
in barley or wheat. while of oats there
will be at least one and quarter tons
to the acre. TIE growth of grain cul>
ture in the Swinom;sh country, is al
most without a parallel. Four years
ago. the settlers barely raised grain
enough for home consumption; while
IN 1876, over hundred and twenty
men earned living as laborers upon
the threshing machines in that section.
From the hill back of La Conner, in
October, he could count six threshers
in operation, two OF which we're driven
by steam, and the rest by horsepower
Prior to this. the people of Puget
Sound had lived in defiance of the
principles of political economy. With
thousands of acres of valuabl. land ly-
ing Idle before them, they had sent
abroad only coal and lumber, import
ing pork and breadstuffs from Oregon
and California. Now, the tide turns,
and instead Of importing provisions
from Oregon and San Francisco, we are
competing IN the markets of the latter
emporium with the products of the
Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys.
The great scarcity of crop in those re-
gions, this year--as foreshadowed by
the want of rain, this winter -betokens
good prices for our farmers. As this
place is the base Of supplies for that
section. We can rely upon getting a
good share of that trade; though some
Of it may 60 to Port Gamble, which
place has consumed more wheat in its
grist- than any other point on the
sound.
The quality of the oats grown in the
Swinomish country, is not equalled by
those of any other section. The Sacra-
mento valley never produced very good
oats. and the only places were an ex-
sellent quality was grown, were the
valleys of Napa and Sonoma. In these
localities the land has lately become so
much more valuable for vinicultural
purposes, there is but little grain to be
grown there hereafter. In all proba-
bility, the Swinomish fats will be an
important feeder OF San Francisco. this
year. and it would not astonish us to
see a ship or two load grain for Cork at
Seattle or Utsalady. 1t would be some
thing out Of the common run, but
stranger things have happened.
