Snoqualmie Wagon Road.

A road can be built across the
snequalmie pass for . sum not to
exceed $4,000. There is material
al the way along the road and on
the pass to build it-both in wood
and gravel. Open this road. which
can be accomplished inside o: three
months, and in 4 short time there
after, instead of two livery stables
in Seattle, it would require at least
ten to supply the demand; while five
wagon shops and as many harness
makers would be necessary. Our
streets would be blocked with wag-
Ons and families from the other side,
disposing Of their bacon, hams, but
ter. eggs, etc.. and purchasing from
our merchants boots, shoes, cloth
ing, hardware and groceries in re-
turn. Business would revive, new
buildings would go up. and real es-
tate would find a ready market. In
the winter season the wagon beds
could be placed upon sleds to cross
the pass on the snow, and these
mounted upon wheels ON this side.
The snow, therefore, would not be
an impediment to travel, bnt rather
abenefit, as the travel would con-
tinue the year round. Doubtless
there are parties living upon the
Sound who recollect OF the Wabash
people of Indiana making trips of
from one hundred to one hundred
and fifty miles to Chicago, with
their families and produce. there
disposing of the latter and taking
back to the Wabash country such
articles as the family needed. 1t
was that trade that first brought
Chicago into notice and laid the
foundation for her future greatness.
Open this road and you lay the foun-
cation of q future Chicago. The
railroad can and will come after.
Do for ourselves what We can at the
present time. White labor can be
had now at gl eatly reduced prices
hundreds of men out of employment
being ready to work for little or
nothing. All this can be done if
our property holders will view the
matter in the right light, and come
forward with the necessary funds to
carry through the project. The
amount from each would be trif1ing,
and would be returned to the donors

PATENT FIRE ESCAPE. In view of
the alarming frequency of hotel
fires in our larger cities, and the at
tendant loss of life from the made
quacy of the means OF escape from
the burning buildings, anything
which promises relief in that direc-
ton is hailed with enthusiasm by
the hotel public. For some two
years past DR.. Bryant, of this city,
has been engaged in perfecting a
fire escape, and has at length
brought it to such perfection that he
has filed a caveat for patent. Yes
terday, at the request of the Doctor.
we attended him to the United States
Hotel and there examined his life
saving apparatus, and found it all
and more than is claimed for it by
the inventor. The apparatus does
occupy the compass of more than a
square foot; is intended to be at
tached by screws to the window sill
of each room in a hotel, and is Of
such simple construction as to be
easily operated by child eightyears
Of age After examining the ma
chine, we asked the Doctor il he was
willing to give us a practical illus
tra.ion of its merits, which he read
lily consented to do, and adjusting
the straps and catching hold of q
brake line, he backed out of a Sec
ond story window Of the hotel and
lowered himself with ease and safety
to the ground. The experiment he
repeated to the astonishment and
qualification not only of ourself but
of many others who we're attracted
by the novel spectacle Of . man
sliding down two stories on q slend-
er wire. We would like to give
full description of this life-saving
apparatus, but must wait until some
future day, when the patent shall be
perfected and no iafringements
feared. We congratulate the pat
entee for having discovered . means
not only to escape from q burning
building, but also from the pangs Of
an outraged fortune. 'There's mil

First Boat Through Tho Skagit
jam
INCIDENTS OF rHEirRIP.


INCIDENTS OF THEirRIP.
The following account Of the pas
sage of the steamer Weaat through
the skagit jam. ha. been kindly
furnished us by Mr.. james w. Bish-
op, one of the staff oi that steamer.
For years uunumbersd great por-
ton of that beautiful river has been
closed by log jams. the last Of which
has but recently been removed. Tho
passage Of the Wemat, the first steam.
er that ever stemmed the current of
the upper Skagit, is an event of
much importance, as opening to q
market the very richest portion Of
the Sound, and the name of the lit
tie steamer that dared and done the
undertaking will be forever en-
balmed in the history Of that Sec
ton:
1.-THE steamer We,at. Capt. Bailey
commanding, left Seattle on the 22d
inst. aud arrived at Skagit City ON
the 23d, at 5 A. M, where she rs-
NAMED but short time, and then
steamed up to Dounger's camp.
about one and . quarter miles be-
low the jam. Here she was joined
by some twenty of the Skagit set
tiers, including the parties whs re-
moved the jam. At 9 o'clock the
steamer again started with the in
tention of passing through the jam
if possible. The passage through
this jam is not more than fifty feet
in width. and very crooked. with q
very strong and rapid current, 90
that its passage by q steamer is q
matter of difficulty as we'll as of dan
ger. After proceeding short dis
tance up the channel it was found
that the steamer could not carry suf-
fcient steam to run against the
strong current, when a line was
thrown out and she was warped
through, emerging on the other side
amid the cheers of her crew and pas
sengers and the people who lined
each side of the river. The steamer
ascended the upper Skagit to the
mouth of the Nuka Samish, when
she returned, passing through the
jam stern first. The country bor-
dering the river is described as
beautiful and rich beyond descrip-
ton, containing the finest body of
timber on the Sound. When it is
recollected that the channel cut
through the jam is narrow and very
crooked, the difficulty Of taking
steamer through can be estimated.
and the pluck and courage displayed
by Capt. Bailey in this undertaking
is duly considered by his fellow sea-
men. He has earned for himself, at
least, the title of "the pioneer cap
tain of the Upper Skagit.

Rosz MANNING OPERA. This
troupe made their last appearance
here Saturday night, and left Sun
day for Portland. As artists they
gave very general satisfaction to
their audiences, and would have
drawn full houser but for the irreg-
ular conduct of their agent, Geo.
Edwards, who advertised them to
appear here on the wrong date.
The troupe is composed of honor as
well as talent, and Notwithstanding
their i'll success paid all bills, and
left with the good wishes OF this
community.
New EQUIPMENT.-The Western
Union Telegraph Company propose
to renew their several lines on this
coast the coming summer, and with
this end in view are landing large
quantities Of material at the princi-
pal points along their lines. There
are now on Yesler's wharf about two
hundred bundles of telegraph wire,
together with large quantity of in
sulators. etc., which viii! soon be
utilized by the company.
The ZEpHYR.-This steamer hav-
ing had her machinery repaired, and
being re-painted from hull to smoke
stack, was slid off the ways yester-
day about P. NJ. and towed by the
Otter to Yesler's wharf. She steam
ed up this morning and sailed for
Olympia, from which port she will
hereafter make regular trips to
Seattle.

on Mill street. The bed clothing from
some cause unknown caught fire. and
the halls of the house were soon filled
with smoke. Fortunately the fire was
discovered before it got headway, and
was soon extinguished. A first-class
fire in that neighborhood would result
in great damage. as it would inevitably
sweep the entire block.

INDIGENOUS SUGARS. The legis-
lature of California at its last session
passed joint resolution relative to
the production and manufacture Of
sugar from beets and melons in that
State, and requesting the Secretary
of the Treasury to appoint Mr.. w.
G.. Marsilliot, First Assistant Epgi-
neer, q. S. Revenue Marine, as the
most suitable person to conduct
experiments and report all informa-
tion that can be obtained to the
proper authorities. The fact that
ever 100000 tons of foreign sugars
are imported annually into the
country, will render apparent the
importance of this proceeding.
France. in the years 181O-12, offered
q premium of 900. .00Of for the most
successful method of obtaining q
supply of indigenous sugar, and now
continental Europe-notwithstand-
ing the competition with colonial
cane sugar-is producing more than
q home supply, amounting to over
one million tons per annum, thereby
yielding large revenues to the
government. It is estimated THAI If
this industry could be successfully
introduced on this coast, the $780,
OO0. 900 now annually expended for
foreign sugars would be saved to the
country. Mr.. Marsilliot, the gen.
tleman recommended to investigate
this matter. has made a study of the
art of making sugar from plants,
and is we'll qualified to make an in
telligent report upon the subject.
He is at present in this city, and is
acting engineer on the revenue
cutter Oliver Walcott.
PUYALLUp Hops.-A gentleman
just down from the Puyallup valley
says that the hop yards there never
looked better than at present, the
prospects for large yield being
very fattering. Unless, however,
the price should rise between now
and fall, the business will prove
failure. Hops are now quoted in
San Francisco at 5 a. cents per
pound. which will not pay the first
cost of raising them The celebrated
coal mine, to develop which stand
ard gauge railroad so miles long
was built. has so far proved fail
ure, the coal vein having again been
lost.

Baltimore Bulletin.
There was very pretty little scene
enacted at the Southern Police Station
to-day. On Friday last three little girls
Louise Niedhardt, Mamie Crete and
Amelia ObIender-liviug on South Paca
street, conceived the idea of contribu-
ting something for the benefit Of the
yellow fever sufferers. Their net cap
ital at the outset was cents. This, of
course, could do very little good, but
they soon found a way to increase the
amount, and by great perseverance, not,
however, unmixed with pleasure, they
al last succeeded in raising $40 80.
The cents with which they began was
invested in candies, and then table was
procured, covered neatly with a cloth,
and the wares exposed for sale. The
neighbors, seeing the persistence with
which they labored, went to work and
helped them with a will. All sorts Of
things were contributed and quickly
sold The stock was exhausted yester
day, and to-day, with the results in
hand, they went to the station and
presented the proceeds to Captain Delan-
ty, who made them a very pretty little
speech in return. The money will be
handed over to the Mayor by Captain
Delanty in the name of the children.
