CRANBERRY CULTURE.-lu view Of
the fact that Washington Territory is
the most naturally adapted country in
the world for the culture of cranberries.
It 10 surprising that no one has located
on one Of our wild cranberry marshes
and devoted his energies TO cultivating
and improving our native berries. The
upland forests If Puget Sound abound
with thousands Of acres of marsh land
that produce spontaneously an unlim.
tied quantity Of a marketable article Of
this delicious fruit, which is of fair
size, aud unexcelled in delicacy Of fla
vor. but Of course are not as large as
the cultivated berries Of the Eastern
States. BY little cultivation the size
Of our berries can be increased, and
with the natural adaptation Of this
country to their culture, the small out.
lay Of capital aud labor this culture re.
qaires. and the ready market with re.
muuerativs prices they command. we
see no reason why not only comfortable
iivings. but small fortunes could no, be
made by those who have the enterprise
70 embark in tho business Of cultivstins
and shipping them to San Francisco.

OUR TERRITORIAL CONVEN
TON.

The proposition submitted by the
Legislature tot the voters OF this TcrIito-
ry one year ago as to whether they
were in favor Of calling a convention 10
provide for tie formation Of Consti-
tuition and State Government for thu
now Territory of Washington having
been carried by large majority at our
last general election, i, becomes the
duty Of the Legislature now in session
to make ample and proper provision tor
carrying out the will of TIE people as
then expressed on this important mat
ter. To properly do this, the rrspectiv,
members Of tina. body have only one
course to pursue, VIZ: TO pass an
al act declaring the proposition sub
mitted to the voters as having been
carried; to fix upon time for the con-
vention to be he'd, to drsiguat1 the
number Of delegates to be elected, and
to aprortion them; and to make provi'-
lot for the submission of such constitu-
ton rs shall be- 10y them framed t. g
vote of the people for adoption Any
thing i0r her done in the premises than
this will be murr than duty and noces-
siiy quires. This We mention, iot
the reason TN; MI v membtrs of The
Legislature have expressed tbcHsriv"s
rs somew hat IN doubt a. To what viii u,
necessary ~ b. done with the convcn-
ton proposition.
Just now we bave no: population sui
ficicnt to eniitle US To admission a. IL
State, on the basis of II Congressional
Spportionment--neit has Nevada,
Colorado lr Oregon to day -bui We be-
lieye that III tie cpu,se I'll three or fcuI
years OFT population will be- 40 mug
menttd by the tide of immigration
which will How in up.n our inviting
domain hat the preliminary STEPS which
have now To Ue taken IN order
knock ut the door for admission
as State, are in nowisc untimoly and
furtper, that when taken ard Statehood
is conferred upon us. that none of our cit
liens will have OCCASION to regret the
change from worse than all old time
English provincial status to that of
American citizenship in fact.
The three or four years delay before
u possibility Of admission. which We
intimate, will occur from the fact that
this Legislature must fix time for the
election OF delegates, the holding of
the Convention and the submission of
the Constitution adopted to "a vote by
the people. And touching these mat
tiers. we would suggest to the Legis.
lssure that due regard to economy
should lead them to provide that the
election Of delegates should be held ut
our next general election. and the Con.
stitution should not be submitted until
the general election following. BY
so doing there will be but q trifling ex-
penso-aside from the holding of the
ccnvention-in connection with this
timely and laudable effort toward
Statehood.
