1890; WAS graduated from Harvard
University in 1898, and subsequent,
from Cambridge law school was State
Senntor in lS4S, and U. S. Marshal for

centennial of the battle of Bunker Hill.
General Devans is a man against whose
public and private character even oppos,

word, and. although Democrat in prin-
CIple, his selection as a Cabinet Minister
is great and cheering adv nee upon
Boutwell, and Richardson, the last rep.
resentatlyes of Massachusetts, in the Cab

Yale College in 1887 studied law at
Cambridge law school, and commenced
the practice of bis profession in New
York City about 1910. He has been an
active but conservative Republican, and
took strong ground in 1874 against the
unconstitutional military interference in
Louisiana. He was principal counsel for
President johnson in his impeachment
trial, in 1868, and was appointed Attor-
ney General in the same year. Mr. Ey-
arts is an able statesman, and we hope
much for the liberty of the people from
his couusels. The Office he holds is con-
sidered the head of tile Cabinet.

TIDE LANDS,

When reference is made to tide lands,
most persons on the Sound will involun-
tsriIy refer to tho reclaimed tide marshes
& the Stillaguamish or Swnomish, the
garden lands of the Territory. Few are
aware that on the lower course of the
Snohomish are situated equally good
tide lands, costing no more to reclaim,
aud possessing many extra advantages
not possessed by many other tide
marshes.
All the tide marshes in cultivation on
the Stillaguamish and around the mouth
OF the Skagit, Swinomish slough, etc,
arc not over four thousand acres, while
there are about as much more diked that
will be brought into cultivation the COM
ing season yet this has been sufficient
to build up the fiourishing towns of La
Conner and Centievile, and established
grain trade in ocean steamers direct
Win Dan rTanClSCO.
1t is not generally understood that be-
low the head of Steamboat slough, on
Suohomish river, there are upwards of
ten thousand acres Of excellent tide
marsh to be found.
In last weeks paper we gave quite a
careful description OF the lower Snoho-
mish, and stated that in this number we
should describe the tide marshes of the
river, point out some OF their advan.
tages and show wherein they differed
from bottom lands farther up river, or
from other tide marshes
This river drains,quite large tract Of
country between the Cascades and the
Sound and is fed by the SHOWS on the
mountains whatever causes "a sudden
melting of snsw in the mountains will
cause freshet in the river, consequently
q warm southerly wind will raise the
river very rapidly, this melting the snow
quicker than anything else.
The river is liable to raise at any time
from October to April /; after this there
is usually a slight raise, causing small
freshet in May or june termed the June
freshet; again the river raises in Septem-
Der or October from the fall rains. Not
earlier than November nor later than
March do we usually find freshets that
interfere with cultivation of the bottom
lands.
The tides are less and less felt az
person goes up from the mouth, having
but slight degree Of influence q few
miles above Snohomish City, which
place is some twelve miles from the
mouth of the main river.
On the contrary the freshets rise
higher on tho Skikomish aud Snoqual.
mie than they do after their union in the
Snohomish, and their influence is grad
ually less and less perceived as we ap.
Proach its mouth |; especially is this very
quickly noticed as soon as tide water is
reached, the rise being very much less at
Snohomish City than at Fiddler's Bluff
not three miles above, while six miles be-
low, the freshess rise only about one
half as high at Lowell as at snohomsh
City; while below the head of Steam
boat slough scarce any freshet makes
more than foot or two difference in the
general level Of the river, 1t being only
by the union OF the very highest tides
and freshets at the some time that any
,appreciable difference would be noticed.
, 1877-03-17


Thus, generally speaking, IN improv
ing bottom land in the Snohomish valley,
the main points to be looked at are set
tiers above the head of Steamboat slough
only desire to obtain bottom land above
the June freshets, so that no water will
be on their land while crops are growing,
with land enough to build on, so that
the highest winter freshets will not
trouble their stock or buildings The
winter overflow Of the rest of their farms
doing no injury but tertilizing the soil.
Where the upland is not adjacent to the
bottoms they usually find high enough
ground to build on close to the river
bank.
Below the head of Steamboat slough
the settlers have to dixie against the tides,
the treshets not being taken into consid-
Grafton.
It is of this land we now wish to de-
scribe, first as distinguished from up
river marshes, neither have but little
timber The ordinary river marshes are
above June freshets, are covered with
grass, hardhack or other brush, some
times alder, crabapple, ETC., need only to
be drained and the brush cleared off to
be reclaimed. The tide marahes are
either clear of timber or else have a spe-
cies of cedar different from the up river
cedar, in that it resembles the ordinary
Eastern cedar, and spruce to be remov.
ed All the tide marshes need diking
Those that have some timber on them
are usually highest, therefore require the
least diking.
There are some open tracts of this
marsh out of reach of summer tides that
require very small dixie. On several
of these tracts large crops Of oats, etc,
have been raised, rs much as one hun
drcd bushels to the acre, without any
diking or draining. We refer now to
Preston's ranch near Preston's Point, at
the mouth of the main river.
This tract Of tide lands, as compared
with many Others, possesses the follow.
ing advantages: No part of it is over
two miles distant from navigable tide
water. 1t conld all be cut mp into rea-
sonable sized farms, where steamboat
could and would receive and discharge
freight at the house or barn of every
raucher. Much of the land requires a
very little dixie and little internal drain
age, while most all of it is sheltered
from the waves, so that there would be
no surf to destroy the dikes. Then the
marsh is nearly all fresh water marsh,
where the soil is ready for cultivation as
soon as reclaimed Then, too, il would
be an excellent place to keep stock, as
they would to degree be sheltered from
the raw salt breezes, and there would be
fresh water from the river for every
ranch
Another article could well be written
on the yield of this class of land, and
why no greater improvements have been
made here, as we'll as a description OF
those already made perhaps in our
next we will make it the subject of an
other article.

Surprising a Captain.

Last evening, while Capt. f. A. Guibes was
drilling bis company on the street opposite Me-
chanics' Institute, he was informed that his at
tention was required inside the building which is
now used as the armory OF the Louisiana Field
Artillery. In few moments afterwards Capt.
Guibet found himself charged by bis gallant boy g.,
led by Lieut.. NJ. O. Fortier, who, on their behalf,
and in appropriate terms, presented their cap
tain with handsome sword and belt Of the
United States regulation pattern.
The sword, which is richly gilt and plated, bore
the inscription on it's scabbard: Presented TO
Capt. E. A. Guibet by Battery o, Louisiana
Field Artillery, as o memento OF September Ia,
1874, and January 0, 1877"
The gallant Captain was taken so much by sur
prise that he was unable to articulate more than
few words OF thanks.
The presentation honors both the battery and
their commander, for both have, In trying times,
done eminent service, which could not be bette r
commemorated than by this lasting testimonial
OF gallant and unselfish deeds.

CUsTOM-HOUsE GLEANINGs.

As the session Of the Custom-Ho Commits
sion draws TO close 30 does the weary office
seeker hope that his application for q clerkship
or inspeotorship be acted upon favorablv by the
powers that be.
Not being able to farm out the Pension Office,
(see Hayes latest comments), some Of the Re.
publican chiefs, including
MonEY AND pAnRALL,
30 it's said, have set their wits to work to
secure the United States Land Office for either
Mir. II. L. Belden. or Mr.. Palms, intending of
course to GUST Breaux.
As in cases Of other officers, petitions have
been sent to Washington, and the fact that
Mercy is In that city now leads to the belief that
he liz trying to secure change in the Office men
tened.
Morey's general appraisers Office having been
abolished, he must OF course get his hooks in
elsewhere, and II IL perhaps with that view that
he is now supporting the claims Of Mr.. Belden.
The Collector expected yesterday to have ready
synopsis OF partial report to the
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY
upon the findings Of the Custom House Commits
sion, but did not, aud will perb APPS have IL to-day
He is still overrun with applications for positions

or course, he says, these gentlemen do not as
sumo to be responsible for the safety OF any par
ticular individual, no more than they could II
they lived In Massachusetts. but he was satisfied
that they we're determined that the law should
be dealt equally to every man. and that they were
fully alive TO the fact that 1t was to their interest
that IL should be 80.
To bad government or no government at all
during Ksllogg's administration was the lswless-
ness OF tho past few years attributable, and al
though the evil could not be entirely corrected
Immediately, he felt that person could already,
under the new order OF things, live In a. much
security In the parishes named as they could
IL MAssACHUsETTs,
or any other State In the Union. The moneyed
men or the co1ntry-and the General applied his
remarks to the other parishes which he has just
visited-had taken the matter In hand to bring
order out Of chaos now that they were satisfied
that The application Of the law would be intrusted
In proper hands. The colored people, excepting.
however, disappointed politicians, appear highly
gratifed at the change and have gone TO work
with zeal and profit to themselves.
The interview closed by touching upon the
postal Irregularities in the Red River parishes,
which, Gen. Sneridon says, are well grounded, and

having more perfect tystem adopted by the De-
partment at Washing on.

Tho Police Board met last night ut their rooms
| IN the Central Police Station, Mayor Pilsbury In
the hair, and only four commissioners present.
The frat case on the dock, was that Of Patrol
man Edward Hewitt, First Precinct. Hewitt was
charged with having, on the night of the 2lst
inst, at the exhibition OF the Girls Upper
High School, slapped tho face Of one VIM. Stern.
After the witnesses for the prosecution had testi
fed, ii put Stern In very bad light.
Stern claims to be man; 10 fact, mo looks like
man that Is In age, height and appearance,
but the peculiar part he played at the exhibition,
as shown by The testimony, makes him out any
thing else than man. Stern, IL appears, likes
fun, but ii must be at some one elses expense.
He won't fool with fellow his size, for he might
get the worst OF 1t.
But he just enjoys to get hold OF small boy.
While the exercises going on, on the night
Of the 2lst. he found o little boy standing In front
Of him, and to have a little fun for himself, he
started to box this little boys ears, much to the
dspleasure Of the boy.
The boy whose ears were boxed was a nephew
OF Officer Hewitt, and Hewitt becoming incensed
at the action OF SGrn, reciprocated by boxing
Btern's ears.
Hewitt before the Police Board on q charge OF
assault and battery.
The board, after hearing tho evidence, dis
missed the charges. but the Mayor lectured
Hewitt TO the effect that he must never forget
that he WAS an officer and preserver OF the
public peace.
Paholman M. Lynch, third precinct. sat down
on his beat for fifteen minutes because his shoes
hurt him, and the board fined him Eve days pay
for the sitting.
Patrolmen g. Leonard and P. J. Howard, OF
the Fourth Precinct, sat down on their respective
beats for q minute and half to eat their lunch,
The board, fearing that they had eaten too fast
for the good OF their digestive organs, fined
them 81 50 each.
John slattery, OF the Suburban Precine., for
neglect OF duty, was fined five days pay.
