REQUIEM OF OLIVER F. GERRlSH.

Friend of the friendless, champion of the
wronged-.
OF words beftting, have found dearth
Among the surying crowd of thoughts that
thronged,
To sing thy last sad requiem here on earth.
We've seen of thee what's mortal leave the
light
And warmth of sun, and singing birds, and
flowers,
To sink forever in eternal night.
Thou in thy shrouded form, oh those last
hours:
Upon thy calm white face and marble brow
There lay no shadow OF n fear or care,
But calm and peaceful art thy slumbers now,
AS if, from Heaven, had dropped Its glory
there.
Across the casket shone the crosslet sword
And plumed hat of Armed Templar knight
And on thy breast jewel, sparkling, starred,
And shone the broidered apron of the Scottish
Rite.
Could'st thou have seen the long array of men
That sorrowing followed to thy grave, thou
must
Have known how thou art mourned and
missed, and then,
Have seen thy fight well fought, thou who
vast brave and just.
Oh, may thy stricken wife look upand see
She has son to live for yet, ana pray
For tortitudc to bear, and join with me

COMMUNICATED.
FROM PORT ANGELES, w. r.
Oct. 6, 1878.

EDITOR ARGUs:-As you have al
ways manifested considerable inter
est in the welfare of Clalam County
and taken an active part in our pc.
tition for steam mail on this route
| am happy to inform you that the
"thing is did"
A red hot steamer arrived here
to-day, bringing the U. S. mails,
footing her whistle and waking up
some Of the old Van Wrinkles who
were contented with canoes and such
like for all communication with the
outside world. What few banners
we had we're spread to the breeze to
welcome the pioneer Of our future
greatness.
This county has long been neg
lected; and now it is hoped the tide
of emigration will set this way.
Heretofore our only means of travel
were by canoe or in little six.by-
four schooner, depending on wind
and tide to move; and we were fire.
quently compelled to be co9ped up
for days in order to travel few
miles. Now, we expect families who
are looking for permanent homes to
turn their attention this way. A
numder of people have gone towards
the Quillyhute country this summer,
and more are on the way. Already
two families are here, looking up To-
cations. The steamer Olympia land
ed two more on her last trip up from
Portland.
saw several of the old settlers
from Quillyhute, who state that they
are going to cue road through to
Clalam Bay, where the Hoko Sal.
mon Company intend to build a
wharf, so that they can ship cattle
and produce to market.
The loggers at Pyscht river are
very active. There are two camps,
fully equipped, and putting about
six hundred thousand per month of
the finest logs in the Territory into
booms. There are now two large
booms, awaiting tug boat, at that
place. Port Discovery mill will get
the benefit of all the fine timber in
this county until some wide-awake
parties locate mill at this place
which will, | think, be in the near
future as 1t is in the centre of some
Of the best timber land in the Ter
ritory.
The schooner Winefred has been
lying in our harbor for some days,
while her intrepid navigator, with
the aid of surveyor Gar6elde, has
been trying to locate a claim on
Moss Creek, where l suppose he in
tends to settle under his own crab
apple tree-after the severe buffet
ings Of wind and sea between Cape
Flattery and Port Townsend, carry
ing the mails the past four years.
Well, Capt. "BiIley," we wish you
we'll, and trust you may find some
profitable employment for your
staunch little schooner which had to
step aside for the. march Of improve
ment, and not let her, like the old
stage coach, crust by the wayside."
OFT have we watched those tiny spars
When bending to the breeze;
And crawled into that little bunk
10 wrestle with the tleas.
