AN INTELLIGENT VIEW.

The editor OF the San Francisco itfd
il evidently a man who taxes pains 10
pos. himself carefully and accurately
in his observations relative to our Ter
ritary. In his usual weekly review Of
the industrial Progress Of the Pacific
Coast" he takes occa,ion rs discourse
hus in regard to matters hereabou':
Washington and Arizona promise IL
make more progress this year than ever
before IN the same time. perhaps more.
relatively. than any other portion OF
the Pacific side Of our continent. The
late destruction of the lower jam OH the
Skagit, the movements to destroy the
upper one in the same stream, and the
one in the Eootsack, aud the canstruc-
ton Of coal railroads must attract set
tiers. The Seattle and Walla Walla
Railroad, instead of connecting the two
towns mentioned in its name, runs tif-
teen miles from Seattle 20 some coal
mines which have been turning out
about $50 tons day. and will probably
now yield twice "a much The North
ern Pacific Railroad has done Mnch Of
the grading on road thirty miles IN
length. from Tacoma running south
eastward to q coal mine near the head
waters Of the Puyallap. This coal is
reported 10 he the best yet discovered
on the Pacific Slope south Of latitude
40, and the deposit ia large. so the
completion Of the road might have On
important influence on the coal
market Of the Coast A large
part Of the profit. however in
construction Of the read will be de-
rived. according to the cipstion Of
its builders. from the land grant given
by Congress for the construction of q
branch Of the Northern Pacific Rail
road from Puget Sound t. Walla Walla.
The Company has no idea Of complet-
ing this branch. but may make some
thing nice il the land is given for
what may b.. regarded as private
rosd. designed to terminate at coal
mine in a high mountain. The land
grant cannot be obtained. however, nm
der the most liberal Interpretation of
the law. unless tn. iron. which has not

"Some of the salmon canning estab-
lishments on the bank of the Columbus
are in Washington Territory. and the
business is extending to other streams
that empty into the ocean or bays be-
tween the Columbia and Fuca Strait.
Salmon are also abundant in the rivers
that empty into Puget Se"nd and the
Gulf Of Georgia. and there is talk OF
erecting oanneries there. too. If the
Dominion of Canada bad built the
railroad through Vancouver Island. and
had commenced work in good faith on
the main land. in accordance with Bri-
fish Columbis's contract. Washington
Territory would have felt a very bene-
fetal influence. but now must share
the loss of the neighboring province.

winter; nearly all of the hay from Mr..
George Fields large meadows Is taken
to Orwell, and large quantity belong
ing to different farmers is taken to

question is many times asked, what
would the farmers do If 1t were not for
the Otter Greek valley meadows?
