COUNTY COx1ussIOSERs' COURT.

Avery large amount Of business
was transacted at this session of the
County Commissioners Court. The
action Of the Board in regard to IL
cense we deem worthy Of comment
and commendation. Saloons seem
70 be in this community necessary
evil. None know that they are an
evil 50 well as the very men who
keep them, every one of whom will
admit that If he could make m66ey
as easily and as fast in any other
way, be would give up his present
occupation. II, under the law, sa-
looms must be licensed, let those on
ly be. licensed that fulfill the law.
Thus will all those who carry on the
business be led to regard the law
more, and be more careful not to vi
olate it in any respect. The men
who were refused license know well
that they have in many particulars
violated the law; we would not say
they are the only ones who have
been guilty, but they have no rea-
son to complain Of the action of the
Commissioners. That this action
was for the best interests of society,
every one must admit.

RAILROAD LAND GRANTS.

As the nation has dealt literally
with the North Pacific Railroad,
so should this company deal literally
with the people Of Puget Sound.
1t ought not to have been the people
of Seattle that first gave voice 20 the
idea that lands which this railroad
never expected to earn should be re-
turned to the public domain and
opened to settlement, but the CON-
pany itself should long ago have
taken steps in this matter to this end.
The Chief Engineer Of this railroad
many months since openly expressed
the opinion. that the road acrUss the
Cascade Range would never be built,
or at least that the Columbia river
route would for fifty years supply
the people Of Puget with all the rail-
road connection they needed with
Eastern Washington. This being
the case why should lands be still re-
served on a branch road which they
did not expect to build and settlers
kept out ? The policy of retaining
these lands was 3 strange one for
wise men to adopt when they knew
the countrys growth and prosperity
was retarded thereby and in the
growth and prosperity of the country
lay the surest hope of the success Of
their enterprise. - q ~
The idea that lands as,far dOwnas
Jefferson county should still be with
held from settlement in behalf Of a
scheme, the promoters of which. ad-
gfutility, is an outrage on al
decency, and when these men strive
TO obtain these lands in behalf of a
private coal road or ask that they be
withdrawn fora further term Of years
they cannot fail to rouse spirit Of in.
dignation in the breast Of every man
who has the welfare of Puget Sound
1T heart. The expression Of the Sc
attic meeting is the unanimous voice
Of every man on the lower sound.
The people Of Washington Terri
tory want Railroad communication,
especially such . connection with
the Eastern States. To this end
they readily submitted when millions
Of acres Of their finest land were
given to this company. The timber
alone already acquired in this Terri
tory by the Northern Pacific Rail-
road along the little strip of 100
miles Of road built between the Co
lumbia river and Puget Sound, If
brought to market, would more than
pay for the construction of the entire
road from Puget Sound to Lake Su.
perior. Our people would notlde-
mur at an extension of time given
the company for the legitimate build
ing of their road IN the spirit in
which the grant was allowed; but
that coal road running from their
terminus thirty miles into'a farming
valley TO . coal mine is a part Of
the trunk line, or in itself is "a
branch ACROSS the Cascades, /" they de
ny; and finally demand that all lands
beyond the original terminus of this
road along line it never expects TO
complete shall be opened At once to
the settler.
