Cannot the L. :. district attorney

Washington Territory is the place
for farmers who have the means to
avail themselves of its advantages.
Our soil is above the averages some
very poor and some exceedingly rich.
Eastern Washington can be cult
waited far more chcaply than else
where, because most of ii can be
worked with improved farm machiu-
cry.
1t is mans privilege here to go
into the woods and hcw out farm
by labor with the AK. Open land is
plentiful, however.
Our climate is SO mild that cxpcn-
sivc dwellings, or out houses are un-
necessary.
Shelter for stock is not required in
thrcc-iourths of the farming districts.
Grain will stand for weeks after
maturing, without Smelling ont. Here
thrcshing is done in the open field.
\ man can work comfortably in
Western Washington in the open air
almost every day in the year. He
does not have To lose month after

When President Hayes was at Mad
ison, Wisconsin, recently, he made a
short address to his entertainers, in
which he gave them a brief financial
exhibit. He showed that since the
close of the war, a period of thirteen
years, the public debt has been re
duccd oue-fourth, and the interest ON
the debt has also been reduced hy the
annual SUM of fifty six million dollars.
In 1863, our paper currency amounted
to $50, 100000 with Il coin value of
100000, 900; the total amount is now
S6SS, ,OOO, 600, and its coin value nearly
or quite the same. The value of the
paper dollar in 1868 was sixty nine
cents, while its value at the present
time is as stable rs gold and is prac-
tically the same This happy result
has been brought about 10y the rigid
economy practiccd by the nation, and
the steady application of the surplus
revenue to the reduction of our public
indebtedness.

The question whether postal officials
have right, under any circumstances,
except by due process of law, to open
letters or sealed packages in the mails,
has again been answered in the mega
tive by the supreme Court OF the
United States. "Sealed mail matter,
says the decision, ''is as fully guarded
from examination and inspection, cN
ccpt as to their outward form and
weight, as if they were retained 10y the
parties forwarding them in their own
domicilcs. The Constitutional guman
tee of the right Of the people to he Sc
cure against unreasonable searches and
seizures extends to their papers, thus
closed against inspection, wherever
they may be- No law of Congress can
place in the hands of officials con
ncctcd with the postal service any au-
thority to invade the secrecy Of sealed

CIlzen's meeting held at the Court House
last Sunday afternoon, reports were re
ceIVed from the committees previously
appointed. Although nothing was finally
decided, the general expression seemed
10 favor two story building 40X60 or
"oAd0 feet, with four rooms. The Trus-
Tees viii procure various plans before
maNing any decision as to the style Of
Building to be erected Messls. p. NJ.
faulSen, Henry Junkans and G. w.
N'alg were appointed Committee to
so''clt subscriptions to the Building Fund.
IL was agreed that it sufficient funds
could be raised in this way, no tax would
Oe levied, but otherwise tax would be
necessary. From the success ot the
committee thus far it appears probable
th"t no tax will be needed. With few
exceptions, our citizens have responded
"oeralIy, over $500 being already
Pledged. Should those citizens who have
not yet been visited by the Committee,
u" US well proportionately as those al
'e"uy seen, the sum will be swelled to at
''a,t $500 to $1,000. This, in addition
- the amount now on hand-over SO, 900
should be sufficient for the erection of a
"'s'-elass frame building. The Commit
