some good timber claims. The

fine fir timber may be seen on
the first bench. On the claims

as fine, heavy timber as one
would wish to see. 1t is about
as handy a place to log as can
we'll be imagined. | am inform
ed by undoubted authority that
there is plenty of fine timber on
the south side of the river, from
a half to three miles back, with
a fine chance for a tram railroad,
such as is used by loggers. Half
a mile above Balls camp Mr..
Anderson is making himself a
comfortable home; farther up
we come to Minckler Il Ross, ;.d-

Hamilton's Ride.

From the Avalanche, June II.
Andy Baker arrived at Silver
City on Saturday evening with
the mail. He furnishes further
particulars of the untimely death
of George McCutchan, the dri-
yer, at the hands Of the savages.
When he saw the band of In
dians making towards him he
wheeled round in an instant and
put his four horses on the full
run in the direction Of Dry
creek. 1t was race for life.
Although the horses were the
best stock on the road, it could
not be expected that they would
maintain the ascendancy in speed
with such a heavy load to pull,
and the savages pursuing them
on horseback. But the driver
and his passenger knowing the
fate that was in store for them
if they fell into savage hands,
pushed along for few minutes
at lightning rate. The bullets
of the pursuing savages were
whizing around them thick and
fast, but they needed them not.
They were appalled,, however,
at the fact that the distance was
gradually lessening between the
pnrsuers and the pursued. but
in this dire emergency their
GOODNESS did not desert them.
The demoniacal yells of the saw
ages were how heard close in
their rear. The distance sped
over thus far was about three
miles, and then began new
phase of the struggle for life.
1t was but the work of an in
stant for driver and passenger
TO Jump from the stage and cut
loose the leaders. This they
did, and each man mounting a
horse sped onward, leaving the
stage with the other two horses
behind. They seemed now In a
fair way Of escape. The saw
ages kept right on after them,
seemingly not satisfied with the
booty left them. About two
miles had been made when an
UNLOCKED for accident occurred.
The horses were still carrying
all their harness, and being thus
encumbered, the one c.

work which Will be of inestima
BILE advantage to the country,
which cannot be had by any
other means.
The proposition now pending,
as we understand it, is, that a
certain party will undertake the
construction of one hundred
miles Of the road upon a guar
antee Of cash payment of $780,
600 when the same is completed,
the balance of the cost Of con-
structien to be paid in bonds. 1t
does not require the expendl-
ture of dollar by the company
until the contract is completed.
10 guarantee payment at that
time the property holders of
King county are required to sub
scribe 100000 and those of
Yakima county $4,000, payable
when the work is done, to be
taken in stock of the company.
1t is supposed that tho proposed
contractors intend to do the
work by Cinnamon. 1t is Ger
tain tina: they will not take the
contract and furnish the capital
for doing the work upon condi-
tion of being confined to white
labor. 1t is equally certain that
if this proposition is rejected,
the project will go by the board
Or at least be delayed for an in
definite period to the very great
detriment of all our Industrial
interests, with whish the China
men employed in this work will
not necessarily have any con-
lection after the road is COM
pleted, and those employed up
on the road would be withdrawn
from competition with white Ia
bor during its progress. To op-
pose the project solely on the
ground that it would give EN-
ployment to Cinnamon, would
exhibit Il dog-in-the-mangcr pol
icy anything but complimentary
to the intelligence and liberality
of free white American citizens.
If they can present any better
way Of accomplishing the great
object which we are all seeking.
we would be pleased to enter
tain and give currency to the
suggestions. If not, we see no
use in discussing the question Of
Chinese labor in that connec-

AS soldier no officer of the ar

of all depreciating comments, all
of which appear to have origi-

We have the most profound
contempt for cant, hypocrisy or
false pretences of any kind; but
we have no sympathy with the
sentiment expressed in the above
extract that a profession Of re-
ligion is an evidence of imbecil-
ity, or that an appeal to the
throne of Divine Grace by a
commanding officer is -necessar-
lily "sickcning twaddle;" and we
protestagainst the common prac-
tice Of holding up to public
odium and popular contempt
public men for no other reason
than that they openly recognize
their dependence upon the AL
mighty, whether as Jews, Chris
tians, Catholics or Protestants,
We care not. If a Christian ed
itor speaks disparagingly of Vol
taire, Tom Paine or Bob Inger-
soil, his comments are ascribed
to religious bigotry and intoler-
ance by those men who call
themselves ''Liberals," and new
er miss an opportunity of ridi-
culing or vituperating all who
profess any form Of religion.
The Mteiligencer applies the terms
"twaddie," and "disgusting," to
a prayer to God by a General in
the army. The Snohomish Star
publishes articles to be read
in families representing Jesus
Christ as an imposter and the
Jewish Prophets as jugglers, and
q distinguished lawyer Of this
city lately delivered public lee
ture in which he said the God of
the Christians was only fit to
keep a hash house, in allusion to
his feeding the multitude in the
wilderness. All these insulting
and often repeated filings at the
adherents to the religion upon
which our government and civ
ilizatlon is based, has provoked
no retaliation or resentment. and
vet the so-called Liberals COM
plain of the bigotry and intoler-
ance Of the protessed believers
in religion. All that we demand
is liberation to all, and common
decency would seem to require
that persons entertaining differ
ent religious views should re-
frain from insulting and often
sive remarks upon the religious
opinions Of each other.

Chinese Labor.


the communication of Mr.. Bay
ley, which was rejected by the
Mtelligencer, because we believe
in a free discussion OF every
matter of public concernment.
1t is always safer to allow free
discussion even to bad cause
than to attempt to suppress it
by intolerance. We have no con-
troversy with Mr.. Bayley upon
the general principle Of the en-
ployment of Coslie labor in eX-
clusion OF, or in competition
with, white labor. We concede
to him all the argument in that
relation. 1t is only in it's mis-
application to the proproped ex-
tension of the Seattle and Wal
la Walla railroad with which we
take issue. We have no doubt
that now, in this time Of gene
raj labor depression, white labor
could be obtained sufficient for
the construction Of the railroad.
The practical question presented
is: Who will undertake to fur
nish the means for the employ
ment of white labor? Had the
railroad company government
subsidy, or other means for the
construction of the road, we
would say, by all means, make
the employment Of white labor
an Indispensable condition to the
enjoyment of public or private
aid. But when it has become
an aScertalncd fact that white
capital can not he had upon the
condition of' employing white
labor, it puts white labor out Of
the question; it ceases to be Il
matter of discussion because ii
is utterly impracticable. The
only practical question now is,
whether We will allow the read
to be constructed by the capital
and labor Of Cinnamon or do
without it. By refusing to al
low the road to be built by Chi
namen 10 white man would be
benefited in any manner. When
the road is finished it will be un-
der the exclusive management
Of white men; no Cinnamon will
own one dollar Of its stock or
hare any voice in its direction.
1t will make available for farms
and homes thousands of acres
Of now wilderness country. 1t
will open to profitable use i'm
mense coal fields and iron mines,
and thus give an impetus to set
tlement, manufactures and COM
merce which will afford protita-
BILE employment to thousands of
white laborers now unemployed
1t will increase the market val
ues Of real property to ten times
the amount of the cost Of the
road and inaugurate an era OF
prosperity such as has rarely
heretofore been enjoyed by any
section Of the country, because
our natural resources are unri-
vailed by any, and by this every
industrious laboring man would
profit and thrift secure compe
tence to each. What laboring
man of common sense would be
willing to sacrifice all these ad-
vantages to an impracticable alb.
straction regarding the employ
ment of Chinese labor? 1t is
right and proper to discourage
and dlscountenance the compe-
titlon of coolie with free white
labor in any of the established
industries of the country. Their
influence is degrading to labor
and demoralizing to society. But
the objection does not apply to
the construction by Chinese cap

sK.Glr RIVER. June s6, 1873.
To THE EDITORS OF rHK DISPATCH:
Our trip up on the Wenat was
successful. We reached and
passed the jam on the 23d at
noon, just one day and one night
from Seattle. The little steamer
was so jammed with cattle, feed,
lumber and other logging-camp
material, that but little comfort
could be had, although Captain
Bailey and crew did all in their
power to make things agreeable.
When we arrived at Mount Yer
non, on Sunday, there was quite
an assemblage of people gath
cred to see, as they said, our
steamboat arrive. Some ten la
dies and fifteen gentlemen came
on board, and were invited to
take a trip up the river as far as
Balls camp, which they did.
They were a very agreeable and
an acceptable acquisition to our
number. When we had got
about half through the jam the
water commenced to boil over
the bow of the steamer and she
came to 4 dead stand-still, al
though running under pres
sure of eighty pounds of steam.
The delay was momentary, how
ever, as extra steam was at ence
raised, and the steamer shot
through the jam and out into
the beautiful river beyond 'liks
a thing of lite" Passing up the
river we found the shores on
either side, at short intervals,
dotted with new habltations, and
the sound of the axe awoke the
echoes of the woods in all direc-
tiens. Thus it is that our Ter
ritory is gradually being settled
by an Industrious, energetic class
Of people. They land off the
steamships in Seattle, stay over
there one night and are lost to
view, to be again found, as We
find them to-day, hewing out
homes for their families in the
distant wilderness. I
