w ;ashingtOii as a state.

Washington is destined to become one
of the greatest Of States. In its area. in
extent and variety of resources, and in
commercial advantages il has assurance
Of mighty future. The Eastern part
of the territory will probably for time
oitstrip the Western portion in growth
Ut population, because its lands are open
and may be cultivated at once; but pop
ulation will return upon the Western
part; industry will bring the rich val
leys, now mostly covered with timber,
into cultivation; Puget Sound will be-
conle to afgreat extent the depot Of coal
supply for the Pacific coast; and when
railways are constructed the products of
the unequaled forests of that section,
which heretofore have been exported
only by sea, will take the other direction
and find market in the great interior.
The lumber trade in that direction will
bo immense. It will build up one Sec
ton and Increase the wealth of the other.
II, Washington had the additional
strength in congress which would at
tend her admission as State, it would,
beyond doubt, be a great aid to her ma.
terialinterest. There are reasons enough
why the people of the territory should
desire to terminates dependence on out.
side politicians which is but kind of
vassalage; but it becomes question
whether they can yet SCI ure for their
territory admission as State. The op-
position will be from the great States Of
the East, which will make objection to
what they have been coming of late
years to consider an unjust preponder-
ance Of small constituencies in the SEN
ate. Here is one difficulty. Yet ifthe
three counties Of Northern Idaho, whose
people express unanimous desire to be
joined to Washington, be included in
the enumeration, there would now be
larger population than Oregon or Ne
braska had when they came into the
union; or to 60 back to earlier times, it
would be greater than that either of
Illinois or Missouri when they we're
creosed-into States. And the popula.
ton Of Washington is now increasing at
rate which viii double it within
very shortstime. Any objection to ad.
mission on the score Of population will
soon be overcome, for there is not an
other Of the remaining territories whose
position and resources give SO certain
assurance Of rapid growth and a great
future. It is for the people Of the ter
ritory to weigh the probable advantages
Of State government against the cost Of
Supporting it. This they will determine
when they come to vote upon the instru-

bushels of winter apples, at price averaging not
less than SO cents per bshe which brought Sl2 500

abundance for themselves, and will probably have a
large amount to sell this Spring. Most of these ap
pies went to Western Kansas and Nebraska, which
will continue to afford market for some years to
come.
