this bay has been partially culled
along the water front, for milling
purposes; although it will be the out
let of vast amount of saw logs.
Not a great deal of farming land
can be found near it; but still there
are several unoccupied and unsur-
veyed claims in the immediate vi
cinity. At the entrance of the bay,
a small Indian hamlet encumbers the
shore, where a few-usually from a
dozen to twenty-natives find an
easy living on the salmon and trout
which throng the liquid elements, or
on that emblem of guileless indo-
lence, the meditative clam which can
be found in quantities to suit, "with-
out money and without price,"
From this village a wagon road
leads the pedestrian through tim
bered land about two miles to
SEQUIM PRAIRIE,
a large tract of quite level grazing
land, covering an irregular space
amounting to something like five
miles long by three wide This prai.
rie is gravelly, partially barren land,
rendering it in some degree unprof-
table for farming purposes; yet
around its edges, which are mostly
occupied by tillers of the soil, some
very fair agricultural land yields a
yearl y return of roots and cereals for
the labor bestowed. In the months
of May and June, the land being
warm and its strength easily alb
sorbed by vegetation, this place pre-
sents pleasing mixture of flowers,
grass and other transient ornaments.
The neighbors-some eighteen or
twenty in number-are healthy, good
nItured, and especially cheerful du-
ring a rainy summer-their surest
guarantee of more than ordinary
fruitful crops. We leave here in
command of few hundred pounds,
more or less, of very acceptable
horse furnished by our kind friends,
Mr.. and Mrs. G. H. Gerrish. The
road next to follow is a plain wagon
passway, leading through a farming
settlement some five miles to the
prospective town of Dungeness,
from which place, next week this
will be
continued.

The Great Northwest.

The following, taken from the
"Oregonian," is worthy of note and
extended publicity, as it besPeaks
an enterprise commensurate with the
growing interests of the Pacific coast
a1d deserving assistance from all:
"Last January, Mr.. L. Samuel,
publisher of The West Shore, issued
a magnificent holiday number of
that valuable journal. which con-
tanned A pages of interesting read
ing matter, and Sc engravings of
scenes in the Pacific Northwest. The
entire edition cost about three thou
sand dollars, and surpassed anything
ever attempted in the line of enter
prising Journalism on the Pacific
Coast. The enthusiastic reception
given to that number, and the liber-
al patronage extended to him since,
have induced Mr.. S. to issue a 'mid-
summer holiday number, and for the
past two months his artists have been
busily engaged in producing beauti-
fuI sketches OF scenery about the
mouth of the Columbia river, East
ern and Southern Oregon, Nortern
Idaho, Eastern Washington, British
Columbia and the great numbering
and coal mining regions of Puget
Sound. Besides these sketches a
host of able writers are furnish
ing interesting descriptive articles.
When ready for delivery, in July,
this number will be lasting monu-
ment to its enterprising publisher,
and accomplish a vast amount of
good for the Pacific Northwest. As
Mr.. S. furnishes these mammoth
editions to all yearly subscribers
without extra charge, and as the sub
scription price is only $3.50 per
year, we think that every citizen Of
the Pacific Northwest should not on
ly have this enteresting journal in
their own homes, but subscribe for
extra copies to send to friends
abroad"
, 1877-06-15

hardly do justice to the pen picture
now before the public. "Thos. Abb
ernethy farms 300 acres," is another
"whopper," and the idea that "any
man who will work two months in
the year can raise from three to four
thousand bushels of grain and pota-
toes" is, if reliable, the grandest
instance on record oe the elasticity
Of truth under the manipulations Of
a "stretchsr." If the gentleman
found hundred Indians at Sequim
Bay, he must have been there when
they were entertaining all their
friends. Any one who will go and
look at Mr.. Rice farm on Port Dis
covery Bay, of $3.50 acres of land
that will raise anything he puts in the
ground" ann then compare notes,
will have margin enough between
the yarn and the fact to write foot
notes upon for an Eastern tour. Then
the glowing account of the fine farm
ing country, with its opulent resi-
dents, that can afford only "trail''
through it, presents paradox that
is, to say the least, uncommon.
1t is but justice to the gentleman
to say that in regard to the amount
Of grain and potatoes raised per
acre in the country he describes, his
figures are nearly correct. The coun-
try is, in fact, richer in point of nat
ural resources than he makes it, but
what it wants is a fair showing be-
fore the outside world. Such "writ-
ing up" as the article in question,
cannot fail to do more harm than
good; and merits some degree of
friendly censure.

"Our Travelling Agent"

The "North Pacific Rural" is a
sprghtly, peWsy little monthly; and
as "new departure" in the journal
istic fraternity of Puget Sound, is
ereditable, indeed, being the enter
tanning result of worthy labors in its
line. But in the June no., copy Of
which lies on our table, correspond
ence appears under the caption of
this article, containing some very
fragrant errors.
No doubt the correspondent Ia
bored to give the public interesting
and strictly correct information, and
bis enterprise is certainly commend
able; but still, while on many Of the
main points he is about right, to emu
merate the erroneous items, more
space would be required than we
have to spare. Settlers down here
simply read the article, and smile at
the random statements which really
lower in their estimation the other
wise valuable and growing paper.
Besides this, emigrants coming in
after reading this description Of the
country, and seeing the vast differ
ence between the account and the
reality, would be inclined to get dis
gusted. For instance, the statement
that "James Tower has about 200
acres Of bottom land on the Clallam
County road; came here in '55, and
is now worth 100000" sounds pecu
Iiarly breezy to one acquainted with
the facts, especially when there is no
such person here as James Tower,
and when the richest farmer in the
county is not worth more than about
the half of $4,000. The fact Of Mr..
Watkins, Of Sequim Prai lie; having
built grist mill which ''grinds -four
for the neighborhood," has been ex-
agerated out Of proportion. Mr.. w.
has been experimenting on a grist
mill propelled by wind, but it would

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
FROM cLALLAM COUNTY.

While inditing a few more senten-
ces from this extreme Northwestern
county of Washington Territory, the
thought comes, why is it that Clal-
lam, having so much of natural
wealth, should be consigned to such
unmerited oblivion, and be so little
known to the outside world ? Com.
ing from Port Townsend on a clear
day, oVer the water, the scenery, to
a lover of Natures works, is per-
fectly grand. The broad straits of
Juan De Fpca spreading out in calm
weather like vast basin of Iiouid
glass, SO clear and transparent that
mountains, clouds, and undulating
shore lines are alike reflected with
distinctness Of outline in its crystal
depths; the rugged looking peaks
and crags of the coast range spurs,
all conspire to please the eye, in
fact all the senses, and satisfy the
most romantic Imagination by pres
enting in reality a harmonious pic
ture of natural beauty, incapable of
Improvement by the designing hand
of man.

.Rsnsnber the sabbath Day."

The Presbyterian pulpit Of this
town has been ably filled for the
past two Sabbaths, by Rev. T. j.
Weekes, Of San Juan. This gentle
man has one Of those sAnguine ner-
vous temperaments which leads him
20 throw his whole soul into any
work in which he engages; and to
that fact are due the thrilling senti-
ments and stirring rhetorical enun-
ciations ich characterize his dis
courses IA make them effective.
One thought in last Sunday even
ing's discourse is worthy Of note and
commendation: "What a fearful res
possibility do those merchants and
employers incur, who keep their bus
mess going on and their subordin-
ates at work on Sundays" This
bold, and certainly timely exclama-
ton ought to receive a warm, ener-
getic and reform-inciting response in
the heart of every pure-minded, NOR
Al man in any community.
We, as a nation, as social bodies,
as intelligent, moral people, profess
to fear God and keep his command
ments. We invoke His blessings
upon all important public acts; we
recognize His supreme power by
keeping up appropriate religious ser
vices in all legislative bodies; and
we refuse to accept, in a court of
Justice, the testimony Of a man who
will not, in the full and wholesome
fear of his Maker, and in view Of the
certainty of being called to account
hereafter for the deeds done in the
body, ask that Maker to witness his
words, whether they be true or not.
Yet in spite of all this, when comes
the blessed Sabbath morn, the day
set apart in an express command as
q day of rest, by this God whose ia
vor we seek, and whose anger we
would avoid, how many of US are
there who would respect the day and
the Divine decree concerning it,
were it not for universal custom?
Our merchants and business men
would do well to give the subject a
little candid thought, followed by
conscientious action. It would make
no difference in the actual amount
of their trade, to close their shop
doors on Sunday; and, if it failed to
set at rest conscientious scruples,
it would at least satisfy a laudable
ambition to have Port Townsend up
to other places in point of decorous
and enlightened respect for the
Lords day. What say you folks;
shall this upward step be taken9
The conspicuous example of those
who have IN the past allowed the
Sabbath to pass without public des-
ecration, needs nothing farther than
modest mention to insure it the hon,
est admiration Of all.

a SENSATION AT THE SPRINGS.

The Mysterious Revelation that Put to
Flight the Lady Guests at the White
Sulphur.
A correspondent of the New

Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs,
under date of August "a, makes the
following mention Of sensation at
that place,
"Thursday furnished somewhat
OF female sensation, the details of
which have not yot fully transpired,
1t appears that o certain lady
visitor from Washington has for
some past been endeavoring to
make little notoriety by a recital
Of her experience in New Orleans
under the administration of General
B. f.. Butler, The lady formerly
lived in Savannah, Ga, but moved
to Washington some time previous
to the war. When hostilities began
this lady took every occasion to
display her secession proclivities by
words and acts, and mado herself
considerably obnoxious to the au-
thorities there. AS q conse u,1ence

taken possession of by General
Butler. Hero her rehellious senti-
ments got the better of her discrc-
ton, and for jeering at the passing
funeral of a Union officer she was
imprisoned for six months, This
imprisonment is the subject of the
story which she has to tell. Now

pie to obtain select audience be-.
fore which she could relate her
pNson experience under the im>

ladies from the parlor to the ball ,
room. They came in force and ao.,
companied by male escorts. When
all had entered the lady ordered all
the gentlemen to withdraw, as her
revelations were such as GOULD not
