NEW MAIL ROUTE.

At last. the Postal Department Of the
United States has been made thoroughly
aware of the chief need of Puget Sound, a.
daily line Of mail steamers. The route Is
from New Tacoma to Tacoma, Seattle.
Port Madison, Gamble, Ludlow and
Townsend. % miles and back, every day
but SUNDAY. The bond required to he
filed with the bid i $4,000. and the certi-
fled check. to cut Oft straw bids, has been
fixed at $l.S0O. This win leave all small
bidders ont in the cold and coniine the
affair TO competition between men like
CaptS. Starr and Finch, either of whom
can furnish boats sufficiently swift and
commodiOE to perform the service on
schedule time. which is to leave Tacoma
at 3 A. NJ. and Port Townsend at II A. II.
The North Pacific could perform this
service with ease and with but trifling ex-
pellSe. as the Isabel's passenger accommo'
dations could be increased enough to
make her sufficiently comfortable to serve
the route between Port Townsend and
Victoria. rllG route. since the L. NJ.
Co.. commenced making trips from Vic
toria to Tacoma with their ships, has per-
ceptibiy declined. and Is scarcely seti.slp-
porting. At this season of the year when
good ,lea of wheat. -four, and live beet
are carried into Victoria by these boats,
the trIntrr ut Port Townsend would
amount to little or nothing. We hail the
change as one that cannot fail to benefit
all classes of business on the Sound.
Many tourists from Oregon come as far as
Seattle and return home again without
seeing the lower Sound, just because the
mail route between here and Victoria is
but semi-weekly. The new order OF
things will be Il much greater aid to bring,

A New Bridge at Clinton.

The Clinton Herald of Monday evening
says that at a meeting of the Citizens
Bridge Committee, Saturday evening, the
bridge project was discussed at length in
all its various phases, it being finally re-
solved by the committee to recommend the
organization of a company in Clinton for
the purpose of erecting a railroad and
wagon bridge across the Mississippi river
at that point. Hon. A. r. Cotton and
Messrs. |. Munroe and E. NJ. Davis were
appointed committee to draw up articles
of incorporation for home organization of
the character mentioned, the capital stock
to be 100000, with capacity to increase TO
100000 by vote of the stockholders, and
business to be commenced when 100000
is subscribed The stock will be divided
into ten thousand shares of $40 each, for
the purpose of placing it within the reach
of every property owner in the city, and by
obtaining a multitude of small subscrip-
tions make the company popular one, and
Insure its management more closely in the
interest of the community at large. The
articles of incorporation will be drawn up
by the sub committee during the week and
submitted at an adjourned meeting of the
general committee, to be held at the same
place next Saturday evening. 1t is to be
hoped that if successful the small stock
holders will be more fortunate than were
those who subscribed to the Moline Rock
River bridge. in sums of SO and upwards.
and then had the whole thing gobbled by
the heavier shareholders until they were
'froze out" And then again, we might
mention the Moline quilt works, in the
same way. and with the same result, a
freeze Out" process gave the building and
machiney to the large shareholders, and
the structure stands as an eye sore to this
day, But then, maybe they do things
differently in Clinton than is the custom 10
