Ice. As result of his recent in
vestigations through the regions of
eternal snow and ice in the Olympic
mountains, Mr.. Piper states that he
has discovered bonanza Of ice suf-
ficient to supply both hemispheres
for countless centuries to come.
The region in which this bonanza is
situated is easy of access, Few hun
dred dollars, judiciously expended,
being sufficient to cut a roadway to
Hoods Canal, when it can be loaded
on barges and brought to this city
at less cost than SIS per ton. When
it is taken into consideration that
the cost of ice brought here from
Portland is upwards of $50 per ton,
some estimate of the profit on Mr..
Piper's ice can be made. He thinks
he can furnish all the Sound ports,
including Victoria, with ice at about
two cents per pound, or $40 per ton.
This will bring it within the reach
of families as we'll as hotels and bus
mess houses.

the undeniable fact that the cereal

willamette valley, could most
cheaply be got to market by way of
Puget Sound.
The almost incessaut southern
gales Of last winter, besides tempo
rarily impeding traffic, have dete-
riorated navigation across the dan
gerous bar at the entrance Of the
Columbia river, bad as that hitherto
has been. The south channel from
Astoria to the ocean is reported to
have become shallower last winter
and, as is we'll known to Oregon
pioneers, the bar channels have
within the last forty years altered
several times.
Fuca Strait il undoubtedly the
true and natural outlet to the Pacific
Ocean. not only for all the State of
Oregon and Territory Of Washing-
Ton, but for al the northern United
States east of the Rockies, whence
traffic oceanwards to the east during
winter is impeded by tho freezing
of rivers and lakes. American fu-
ture western ways by the north to
the Pacific will be open, tho year
round, which is obviously q very
important consideration, north as
well as south of the 49th parallel of

A LONG IMPRISONMENT. -. Great
apprehension has been felt for six
months past as to the safety of John
NJ. Morton and wife, son of the late
Senator Morton, Of Indiana. Mr..
Morton was left on the island of St.
Paul. Alaska, in August last, and
repeated attemptt have been made
by the Alaska Seal Fur Company to
take him off the island. They sent
from San Francisco their steamer
st. Paul in September, taking on
board Mrs. Morton, but her husband
was too sick to be removed, and she
remained with him on the island,
leaving her babes in charge of
friends in San Francisco. A second
attempt was made to take them from
the island, but as the ice float sets
in from the Arctic Sea early in the
winter, satting off all communica
ton with he island for six months,
