SOMETHING WRoNG.-Asw Is we take
occasional tours through the cellars
OF our business men we are always
grieved to discover that so much of
their produce is imported that there
is no earthly reason should not be
bought at our own doors We see
beans, dried fruit, butter, potatoes
and other articles for which our val.
ieys beat the world, brought up from
below at a great cost. This is one
Of the principal causes of hard times,
and is only another reason for our
advocacy of diversity Of crops.
Laziness and new sullly plows are at
the bottom OF all this, and so long as
wheat receives the sole attention of
our farmers Just so long the country
will remain Wala Walla StateS-
man.

Remarks of the London Times OH the
California Constitution

If all the notions of the reformers
who put forth their panaceas for
the regeneration of the human race
during the Paris commune were EN-
bodied in a document, they would
not appear wilder, more absurd,
more menancing than many Of the
provisions of the constitution which
now regulates the existence of the
dwellers of California. Everybody
is to be punished and restricted in
some way. Those persons only are
excepted who have nothing to lose.
The constitution as n whole is such
an extraordinary instrument that
the people of California may well be
stupetied when they learned that
Kearny has carried his point. We
do not fancy that his exultation
will last long. The mischief which
has been wrought may produce re-
action, and.an effort may be made to
revise the constitution which must
produce widespread ruin.

Newspaper Decisions.

1. Any person who takes paper regularly
from the post-oce, whether directed in his
name or anothers, or whether he has sub
scrbed or not-is responsible for payment.
2. If Il person orders his paper discontinued,
he must pay all arrears or the publisher may
continue to send it until payment is made, and
then collect the whole amount, whether the
paper is taken from the office or not.
g. The courts have decided that refusing to
take newspapers and periodicals from the post
office, or removing and leaving them uncalled
for, is prima laca evidence of intentional
fraud.

A Seattle paper says, as ohm Nc
Gee, of Cherry Valley, was going
home last week, be heard soft foot
fall behind him. and looking back
he saw large panther behind him.
He tried to frighten the beast away,
but not succeeding, laid down his
bundle and retreated as fast as his
legs could carry him. Mr.. MCGEE
went home, got dog and gun. and
came back and killed the brute,
which proved to be one of unsual
size.

NUMBER 42.
What Puget Sound IL Capable OF
Producing.

The following account of the Puget
Sound country as understood in the
East, we clip from the Boston Herald.
"Western Washington is the portion
of the Territory lying west of range
OF mountains running parallel with
the coast, called the Cascades. These
mountains are about sixty miles east
of Puget Sound, and run from north
down through the entire length of
the Territory. These mountains di-
vide the Territory and the climate.
On the west of them it is entirely diff
ferent from that to the east Of them.
So, also, are the soil and produc-
tions. Thus we have the Territory
divided, and 1t is commonly known
as Eastern and Weston Washington.
The west is covered with tremen-
dous forests of fir trees which average
more than two hundred feet in height
with proportionate large girth. There
are trees exceeding three hundred
feet in height and having diameters
of twelve feet. There is other timber,
such as maple, spruce of immense
growth, and some oak. There ispine
scattered here and there and button
wood. The fir, though, has precedence
over all others. 1t is the monarch.
For 20 years back the fir has been
used with the greatest ot good results
in ship construction. Several vessels
of over a thousand tons burden have
been built upon the Sound, and fir
used entirely, both timber and lumber,
and now rank A No. l with the un-
derwriters at San Francisco, and even
Liverpool, England. For many years,
Puget Sound spars have been shipped
to England, France, Germany, and
to other European countries. The
cost of ship construction is 35 per
cent. less than at Bath, Maine, or at
any Atlantic ship yard. Ship build
ing, consequently, is to be one of the
great enterprises Of this section. The
attention of the General Government
has already been directed to the es-
tablishment of a ship yard on Puget
Sound and in all probability, not
many years will elapse before it will
be done. The coal and lumber trade
has already become great. Coal has
been found in nearly every county.
The entire Puget Sound basin has
already proved to be one vast coal
field of an area of some twenty thous-
and square miles. Already in the
counties of Whatcom, King, Pierce
and Thurston, mines are in active op-
Grafton, the daily production of which
is 900 tons, sent to San Francisco, and
numerous other ports. all along the
southern coasts of the Pacific More
attention is paid to the lumber trade.
There are some twelve large saw mills
upon the Sound. each having a capac-
ity of turning out from $4,000 to
100000 feet every n hours. An an
nual amount Of lumber is turned out
to exceed 2j0.000.000 feet. Two
hundred million feet annually &c to
San Francisco, South American ports
and the Sandwich Islands.

1t was said couple of years ago
that Hayes had an "amiable obsti-
macy" that would be about as hard
to climb over as Grants more mani
fest stubborness; and now the briga-
diers find they will have to surrender
to Hayes about as unconditionally
as they did some years ago to Grant.

A special from Washington says
that Fort Pillow Chalmers of Missis-
sippi, the other day. on hearing a ru-
nor that steamer was to be char
tered to bring away to the north col
ored people who were waiting for
transportation and unable to procure
it, wrote to the Governor of the State
advising him that in case steamer
appeared for any such purpose to ar
rest every one on board of it. Chal-
mers says that general stampede of
negro laborers is attempted, and must
be stopped. 1t appears, therefore, that
the negro is not free, after all. He
can't be allowed to leave the south, but
must remain there as laborer, work
ing on such terms as the old slave
holders see fit to make.

Another Veto?

We hope so. The President we trust
will stand firm against the desperate at
tempts of the democrats to strip the Exec
utiye of his rightful authority, and open
the way for frauds at elections. The en-
ployment of the army to keep the peace at
elections is so securely guarded that abuse
of the power is next TO impossible. Let
the democrats raise the cutlery of "bayon-
cts at the polls, if they choose, in case the
new bill is vetoed. They have never
known soldiers to interfere in any case to
prevent fair election, while in nearly all
the Southern States the elections are CON
troled by armed civilians or State militia,
to the end that fraud and the minority NAV
triumph over right and the majority.
Without the power necessary to enforce
the election laws they would become null
lities, and the knowledge that the govern
ment has this power, will have a tendency
to render elections peaceable The dem
ocrats want to gain in 1880 by fraud if
possible, and we ought most strenuously to
oppose every step they propose which in
the least fayors their design

\ new reform movement has recently start
ed here, which promises TO equal in its i'm
portancc the reform in the use OF alcoholic
stimulant>. The movement originated among
a few men who have for year, been users of
tobacco They have drawn up pledge and
formed a society which they call the "Win-
throp An,i-TobacCo Union" They have
constitution and bylaws, and propose to have
an initiatory ceremony. They have now been
organized one week. No one is permitted to
join them who is not a user of tobacco at the
time. Last Monday evening the Union held
its first public meeting in the Town Hall.
Earnest and enthusiastic addresses were made
by B. S. Kelley, l.. T. Carleton, Esq, c. Il.

Smith good audience was in attendance.
and much interest manifested in the proceed
ingS. At the close several Young men came
forward and signed the pledge. \ letter was
read from the venerable Deacon Sewall, who
has been for years bitter foe to tobacco, and
who has published many useful tracts on the
subject. He is now Sc years of age. The
following are the officers of the MON: Pres
