Mr.. EDITOR: heavy rain storm
visited US on Saturday night, OF the
1st instant, working destruction and
devastation in it's wake. At about
II Pm. the rain fell in torrents, con-
tinuing without remission for four
hours, swelling the streams with
such rapidity that no time for Sc.
curing loose property was allowed
besides the marsh lands were entire.

given more than thought to the
threatened torrent. At IL p. NJ. the

Warwick & Hiner) gave way before
the ponderous force, and then the
work OF destruction began in good
earnest. Bridges, corn.cribs we'll
filed, sheds, fences, cattle and hogs,
were carried along with the food,
becoming one unsightly mass of
whirling debris, eddied and lodged
here and there by the whims of the
vacillating current. Whenever the
glare of the lightning permitted, we
could see this mass of whirling mat
ter, presenting perfect spectacle of
chaos and confusion, as Well as Of dire
destruction. Lowlands that were
planted to corn were almost stripped
of the top soil, and are now covered
with the remains of numberless
wrecks, collected wherever an OBJ
struction presented to step their on
ward flow. Pasture lands that ere
situated low down are covered
pretty generally with several inches
of black muck and sand washed in
from neighboring uplands and we
are credibly informed that some Of
our stock men have men employed
to herd their cattle on some Of the
wild ranges in the vicinity. The
farmers are predicting almost total
failure in the corn crop this ason
yet we think they take the mat. er
quite philosophically, as we have
noted but little if any depression oil

ion. We fully believe that the tick
ct, throughout, is worthy of the sup
port of all, the names presented be-
ing those of men who are in every
respect qualified for the respective
positions for which they are named.
We will perhaps have more to say
hereafter concerning the Territorial
nominees, and will merely state here
that we endorse them, individually
and collectively.
In assuming control of the ARGUS,
we promised to always act entirely
free from partizan feelings, where 10
cal politics we're concerned. We
are pleased to state that the. Repub
lican county convention which met
In this city yesterday, recognizing
the fact that worthy men are to be
found in both parties, selected such
candidates as they deemed most suit
abIe-irrespective of party. We
feel assured that the county ticket
is as desirable as any that could pos
slbly be made up, as there can be
no objection urged against a single
candidate that it puts forward. Mr..
Hastings, of this place, was unani-
mously fixed upon as the choice of
the convention for Joint Councilman
from the council district composed
OF Jefferson, Island, Clalam and San
Juan counties, and we are quite GER
tain the choice was wisely made, as
the result will prove. The other
counties interested will certainly
act for the best, and confirm this
nomination. Mr.. Ryan is entirely
above reproach either personally or
politically, and, in the capacity of a
legislator, will do himself honor and
reflect credit on his constituents.
Having shown himself to be efficient
and desirable as County Superin.
tendent of Schools, Mr.. Ryan was
also chosen as a candidate for this
important position. Mr.. Drummond,
the choice for Sheriff, is a young man
OF sterling abilities, and possesses
all the qualifications necessary to en-.
able him TO satisfactorily discharge
