Another DeSideratum.

Now that there is some probable
ity of favorable action for buying a
steam 6re-engine, the means of af-
fording an adequate water-supply, is
a subject of paramount interest.
There are several plans proposed,
some of which are entirely feasible,
and others involving a cost that leaves
but small hopes of their attainment.
The first of these, large main from
Tumwater, or a large reservoir near
the Capitol building is deemed too
costly for consideration at present.
The suggestion of a large tank to
be supplied by an artesian we'll,
meets with few advocates. A more
popular plan is to connect the cis-
terms by large pipes laid several feet
underground, the deeper the better,
so as to obtain the supply of all at
any given point. This has been
supplemented by suggestion of
syphon pipes, of smaller size, laid
near the surface, which has at least
the advantage to be urged of moder-
ate cost. 1t is claimed that several
of the cisterns are practically mex
haustible, being full to OVERLOOKING
all the year, and fed by springs that
can supply any ordinary draft by
one or moro steamers. If this is
true. a syphon connecting them with
the cisterns on Main Street, which
seldom have depth of more than
three feet of water, would quadru-
pie the amount, and afford a running
stream to keep them full, whenever
occasion occurred for use. It ap-
pears to Us that this plain is worthy
OF trial. The cost of sufficient pipe
to test it's efficiency would be but a
trife compared to that of any Of the
other means proposed. We trust
our worthy fremen will give these
plans their earnest consideration,
and make such suggestions or modi-
ications as they may deem best suit
cd to subser7o The object in view.

Hopeful.

If nothing more indicates good
time coming for our Territory, the
tide of emigration which has set in
towards several OF our neighboring
counties is full enough to inspire an
abiding hope that all will be right at
last. Our Chehalis neighbors are
getting more and more enthusiastic
on the subject in all their reports.
Word comes from we'll known
citizen of Elma, that every availa-
BILE appliance that can afford tenn
porary shelter to incoming settlers,
has been exhaused, and yet the Cry
is, " Still they come" Chehalis
county is thronged with strangers,
prospecting for land claims, and is
said to more resemble a newly dis
covered mining country than an in
dustrious and peaceful farming dis
trict Three-fourths of the new
corners are delighted with the coun-
try, as we'll they may be after leav-
ing the desolated grass hopper re-
gions of the Western States and
Territories. They are particularly
surprised and quite as happily dis
appointed to find that not q vestige
eff ague or other miasmatic diseases
is to be found here.
Lewis county is also receiving
large accessions of strangers who
bring with them plenty of muscle
and good cheer with which to en-
gage our interminable forests and
subdue our broad prairies. Every
i man who comes here and is suited,
is not going to put his light under a
bushel; but his friends at home are
soon to hear from. and, III the full
ness of time, to follow him hither.
A great deal can be done to induce
immigration by judicious and we'll
directed letter-wlitinS to those por-
tons of the East over-stocked with
population and most likely to seek
an interest in our abundant and va
ried resources. The newly organ
izad cociatiaS in Saaft1a on1 port
Townsend are doing good work
towards attracting the attention of
Eastern capitalists, craftsmen and
laborers, and now it only remains
for US all to act together harmoni-
ously and industriously. In thus
acquitting ourselves, our efforts will
prove effectual and, in the end, we
shall not fail in seeing the fruition of
our hopes.

Mrs. G.. A. Barnes has presented
us with fine specimen of strawber-
ries gathered from plants grown in a
novel manner. A barrel was filled
with earth, and the plants were
placed therein so as to send their
shoots through auger-holes bored at
intervals. The berries, thus reared
distance from the ground, seem to
have acquired new characteristics
and q peculiarly fine flavor. The
fruit, coming to maturity quite late
in the season, is especially valuable
and we believe the new method of
raising them might be rendered en-
tirely practical. In tho way of cur
rants, also, of extraordinary growth,
MIR. Samuel Stork has shown us O
twig cut from one of his bushes, that
might we'll challenge the credulity
of our Eastern friends. Beside be-
ing of large size the currants are
literally packed together upon the
stems that contain them. Washing

fruit.
