IMPROVEMENTS ON TIDE LANDS.

IMPROVEMENTS ON TIDE LANDS.
In last weeks paper was full descrip-
ton OF the tide lands at the mouth of the
river, following a general description of
the topography of that section in pre-
vious number. The promise was made
of another article in reference to the
yield OF this class of lands, with state.
ment of some reasons why no more i'm
proyements have been made thereon
With the exception Of Whidbey's Is,
land, very little Of the lower Sound
country was settled by families with a
view of living by agriculture, over ten
or twelve years. In fact the main agri.
cultural improvements have been made
since 1870. Ten years ago, scarce
dozen white women were to be found in
Snohomish county, logging began in a
systematic manner on this river some
years previously; so that while scarce
no families existed, there We're already
several hundred mel without families,
who were bound by very slight ties to
this country; working in camps in the
summer, and boarding at the saloons
and boarding houses during the winter.
Only portion were farmers, and very
few OF even this class knew much about
the value of this class OF tide lands.
The leading interest of the valley being
then as now, logging.
Within the last half dozen years. near.

tor immediate cultivation has been SC.
cured by transient or single men, who
learned that such lands were deemed
valuable, yet the purchaser from the
government, while securing title to the
same, had no design of improving them.
The process being like this, when work
would be slack in the camps for o few
months, person could file on, and i'm.
prove tract sufficiently to get his title,
then go back to his logging again
Nearly all the Snohomish tide marshes
being thus held, very little real improve.
ment has been made, yet it is not as If
this land was owned by large capitalists,
who were carefully estimating the pros
pective value AS means of permanent
investment, for these men do not improve,
chiefly, because their attention is alb
sorbed by other interests, and they do
not possess the habits or instincts, as u
class, of tho cultivator of the soll. Few
have the moral courage to undertake so
new calling, and many are convinced
that it would be more to their interest
to sell out to practical farmers and use
their money elsewhere, rather than. fol-
low an occupation they do not under
stand Therefore, there are thousands
of acres OF excellent tide lands, more
convenient OF access than any around the
Sound, at the mouth OF this river, with
perfect title, all ready to improve, which
can be purchased as cheap as any lands
Of the same quality around the Sound.
DR.. II. A. Smith of Seattle was the
first to attempt the systematic improve.

before it was well understood
was what were the best methods Of i'm.

built An excellent hard finished house.
His dixie was too light and Misplace at
the head OF Steamboat slough was more
exposed than the Others, So that his dixie
afforded only partial protection, After

New ANrr.BEEcuEn MOVEMENT.

A New ANTI. .BEECuER MOVEMENT --
A new association of Congregational
Churches, undrr the name ot "lhe Man

stone which seems to be uun-elluwshlp
with the Plymouth pastor. The cudNe
assigned is the refusal OF the old as,ocia
tlon ot New York and BIOokyn to take
action in regard Tilton VS. Bcrchcr.
Among the prominent participants in
the ncw movement are such distinguish

Broadway Tabernacle; DR.. Storrs of

marsh on one side, the river marsh on
the other. 1t is thought that with the
removal of the Skugit jam the river
marsh east of this ridge will overflow
very little, SO that Slight dixie viii pro-
tcc it. Both these tracts are included
in t1e estimate, given OF the grSt fer
tile marshes formed ny the Skagit river.
The Samish marshes proper are all
situate north Of Larry's Slough. There
being some five thousand acres IN one
body within couple or 50 miles Of Pa
tilh bay, between this slough and Deans,
unbroken except by the Snmlsh river,
and several narrow slougHs running
through it.
At the mouth OF Latry'S Slough, on its
north bank, Mr. &. d. Neville has recent
ly bought m unlmprOyed, hut very
vuuble tract OF tide marsh, which will
require very Slight dixie This he tx
pecls to improve soon.
Mr.. Gillie has also bought two claims,
which he designs to dixie in this summer,
Both these gentlemen came from the
stiIuguamish.
Out Of this tract OF tide marsh there
are some 100 acres already d!ked, amt
between 500 and 1900 acres more Will
be enclosed this srason
a great deal OF dDLing is also done,
which does not yet completely surround
any tract OF land; this will all count in
years to come.

rlver and in other parts Of the Samish
valley it is estimated that there are some
5000 acres more Of excellent tide marsh
10 say nothing of vine maple bottoms,
and other fertile tracts OF river bottom
land, situate higher up the river
Scarce no settlers are to be found in
the Samish river valley proper, above
the tide marshes. But little definite in.
formation is attainable about this region,
yet it is supposed that some distance up
the river not far from the bank, excellent
fertile prairie land is to be found.
The Samish is short river, draining
the country between the Skagt and
Nootsack river vallies, as the StilIaguam.
ish does the country between the Skagit
and Snohomish mllies. 1t is capable OF
supporting very dense population.
The above facts were the result of
personal observation or ofinQuires made
OF prominent cit liens Of that section
