probably, prove fatal blow to its prospects.

country,

The late sad casualty at Seattle
suggests a peculiar train of thought.
The saying that extremes meet, >"
was never more strikingly exempli-
fed, and it is difficult to say whether
the day was one of joy or sorrow.
Cannon were invented to serve as the
instruments of death and we'll have
they served their mission. Whether
in stern earnest on the battle field,
or by accidental discharges upon &C.
casions of joy and pleasure, their
death-dealing propensities have been
we'll sustained ever since they came
before the world as the most terrible
engines of carnage. The gun that
hurried an unsuspecting mortal to
an untimely grave, one week ago,
was guilty of doing no more than to
execute the proper functions of its
manufacture. 1t was made, essen
TALLY, to kill and it killed. The
case just cited, was an aggravated
one, inasmuch as the gun did not
explode and thus become the author
of mischief which no human fore
thought could have averted. This
was not the case at all; but, on the
contrary, it was properly loaded,
primed, pointed and fired. Ahuman
being was the self-constituted tar
get, and in an instant, he was
corpse.
Now the particular object we have
in writing this article is, to inquire
whether there cannot be some way
devised for people to rejoice en-
masse, without resorting to firearms.
Why not set all the bells of city to
ringing at once, and let their joyful
pealings once and forever suppl ant
the deafening, portentious roar of
the fery-throated cannon? Edgar
A. Poe found melody and harmony
enough in his golden and silver bells
to depict a world Of joy and glad.

of merriment their melody foretellsp

Lecture on Alaska.

A large audience, considering the
season Of the year, assembled in the
Presbyterian church on Friday even
ing, TO listen to Rev. Sheldon Jack
son, d. D., lecture upon Alaska.
The speaker addressed his audience
without notes, in Tree CONVERSE
tional style, which was very interest
ing to the hearers. Having travelled
extensively in the country which he
described, he was able to speak from
personal observation, and presented
many facts which took most of his
audience by surprise. Indeed, few
of them were prepared to hear
that Alaska possesses a coast line of
some $4,000 miles; that it extends
1900 miles from East to West; that
its westmost point is as far West of
Olympia as the State of Maine is
East, that it contains the highest
mountain and one of the largest, if
not the largest, rivers in the Western
States-the Yanton river being 20
miles wide across the five mouths of
it's delta. Above the delta, it is in
places 20 miles wide, and is naviga-
BILE for 500 miles. The remarka-
bic mildness of the climate and pro-
ductiveness of the soil were referred
to in suitable terms, as we'll as the
almost unlimited wealth of the
Alaska fur and seal fisheries, forests,
iron, coal, copper and gold mines.
The lecturer stated that two islands
alone return an annual revenue to
the United States equal to four per
cent. upon the purchase money.
The different races of the inhabi-
tants, their modes of living, and
stages of uncivilization, were de-
scribed, and the total and criminal
neglect of the United States to
furnish any kind of Government or
education to the inhabitants, was
suitably condemned.
The lecturer concluded his address
with history Of the efforts of the
Presbyterian church, the only de-
nomination in our country which has
made any attempt to Christianize
and educate our most northwestern
fellow citizens. DR.. Jackson is a
smooth and easy speaker. He held
his audience almost spell-bound with
his array of new and startling facts,
and he will most assuredly do a good
work if he succeeds in opening the
eyes of our people to the immense
value of that vast and almost un-
known territory which has recently
become a portion of our extensive
country.

The consequence is, that all the larger

As we were Saying,

Knowing what we do of the senti-
mcnts of The Chehals people on the
railroad question, we have reason to
believe that the whole OF The grad
ing and bridging, including The
furnishing and laying of the ties,
could be done by subscription to the
CAPITAL stock of the company, leav-
lit.lc else besides the iron and rolling
stock to be bought for cash. In
building the Olympia and Tenino
road, Thurston county became the
sole responsible party; not so, how
ever, would it be with the enterprise
under consideration. Two growing
and prosperous counties would be-
come mutually and jointly interested,
while The completion and operation
of the road would be no more vital
to the interests of the one than the
other. AS to the lasting rroduc-
tiveness of the Chehalis valley, there
is no question. It's timber resour-
ces are next to being practically in
exhaustible, and it is strongly proba-
BILE that it's mineral wealth will COM
pare we'll with the most favored sec
tons of the Territory. AS it would
seem in anticipation of the railroad
project we are urging, largely in
creased tide of immigration has al
ready set in towards that paradise of
husbandmen.
BY ocean steamer and by railroad
from Oregon, such an army of sturdy
yeomanry is at this moment pouring
into the valley that eclipses anything
before. known in the history of the
county. A preliminary survey of the
most available route from our pres
ent railroad terminus to Ellna, as an
initial point on the river, would cost
but little and would place the whole
matter in a proper light to be practi-
cally viewed and discussed. Before
such survey is made, much of the
thought expended on the subject, is
at random and desultory. Then let
US bring the the question to focus
by preliminary survey and an esti-
mate of the approximate cost of the
work.

ill-gotten gains. We understand
that a warrant is now in the hands

Timber Lands.

we are glad to be able to chronicle
the fact that our Government is tax
ing some positive steps towards the
preservation of timber on the public
lands. To those tourists who come
10 this coast from the Atlantic States,
the great value of our timber is seen
i'll all its magnitude and preaching
relations to posterity. People who
have spent years in our magnificent
wildwools, cannot see these things
in their true light. For several
years past, complaints have been
pouring into Washington from our
Territory, Oregon, California and
Nevada, and it would seem that the
earnest solicitation of a large num-
Der ofintelligent observers, are about
to bo properly respected and acted
upon by those who are clothed in
properauthority institute aremedy.
On the 2Gth of May, a leland
conference" was held at Washing
ton, between Secretary Schurz,
Land Commissioner Williamson,
Senators Grover, Slater, Booth and
various Representatives and Dele
gates from the Pacific States and
Territories. The main business
transacted was an exhaustive con-
sideration and discussion of the sew
eral questions involved in the
"growth, preservation and destruc-
ton of timber on the public lands
in the United States" In the law
now in force, there are number of
quite serious omissions. The law is
altogether too stringent in some re-
spects and quite too loose and indefi-
mite in other respects. 1t was justly
argued that farmers living on their
own homesteads and farms, should be
allowed to buy the timber from public
lands, whenever and wherever they
chose, nor should they be stinted
or prescribed as to quality or guam
tity. But the wholesale destruction
now going on in many places, ostensi-
bly, for the purpose of trade, should
be peremptorily and forever stopped.
1t was shown that, by and through
the genius of our Government, the
public lands were and are intended
for actual settlement and permanent
homes; not for temporary occupancy
and spoilation. To those who want
the timber and not the lands, it was
possible for the Government to make
all reasonable concession. The tim
Der should be sold as ut private sale
from one individual to another, at a
fair price per acre, let that be ten,
twenty or fifty dollars, while the
soil was still vested in the Govern
ment. The needless destruction of
young forest trees of all kinds,
should be made a criminal ofense.
Persons convicted of kindlins fires
in the woods, wantonly, or malic-
iously, should be severely punished,
and dealt with, in all respects, as
felons. 1t was shown that the prices
of timber and lumber are yearly in
creasing in all the principal districts;
not so much through increased con-
sumption, but mainly on account of
the growing scarcity induced by in
excusable destruction. All these
points and many more, were brought
before the conference and ably dis
cussed, pro and con. We have not
yet seen full report of the meeting,
but there is reason to hope that the
present law will either be so amended
Or supplanted by a new enactment
as to secure more efficient protec-
ton to our timber lands than has
| eyisted heretofora
