A Good Suggestion.

While the people at Los Angeles
county, CAL, are much exercised in
their efforts to induce immigration
to that part of the State, n California
journal comes to the rescue and tells
the truth about what the difficulties
are in the way. While there are
thousands of excellent lands waiting
only to be improved, these are held
at such high prices that incoming
settlers are utterly unable to pur-
chase enough to make reasonably
good-sizad farms, and the conse-
quence is that the tide of immigration
is tending in other directions. The
journal in question goes on TO say,
if property owners in the agricul-
tural DISTRICTS of California would
offer their lands at fair prices, every
acre that could be made available
for grain raising or dairy purposes
would be disposed of in years
time.
Now the point we are making is
simply this. While we are forming
immigration societies and ransacking
the world for emigrants, we are rem
dering all Dur otherwise good efforts
wholly aboltive by putting our lands
up so high that, for the average set
tier, to think of buying himself a
home is an insane idea. Emigrants
must have some kind of substantial
lnducement or they will stay out of
our borders. Let the officials of our
immigration societies consider these
things.

Something New.

Lakes Union and Washington are
going to be connected by canal,
and steps have been taken to have
the work Immediately prosecuted.
The total length of the two lakes is
nearly twenty-five miles and they
were examined recently by the Off
GERS of the United States Coast Sur
vey to test their adaptability for a
fresh water naval station. The ex-
animation having been concluded a
favorable report was returned. The
two lakes are separated by portage
of about thirteen hundred feet, and
distant from the Sound, one mile.
Being only about eighteen feet above
the level of the high tide, locks
could easily be constructed for TAX
ing the largest ships of war from the
Sound into the lakes. From what has
been said, it is easy TO understand
why the people of Seattle should
take such lively interest in the
project of having the two lakes con-
nected by good ship canal. Seat
tie papers say the work will be done
either by creating joint stock COM
pany or by the general ditch law.
AS the matter now stands, it is esti-
mated that enough has already been
subscribed to open the canal.
The above mentioned enterprise
suggests an important work to the
people of Olympia. We have Black
Lake within four miles of tide water.
and easily susceptible of being con-
nected by canal with Budd's Inlet.
This connection once completed,
our city would have an inexhaustible
fresh water supply besides being
furnished by one of the grandest
water powers in the world. Old
settlers know that this is no new
theme. Like the Olympia and Te-
nino railroad and the deep water
wharf, it has been long and vigor-
ously discussed, and we confidently
believe the time is not far distant
when, like those two enterprises,
this, too will become one of the bus
mess attractions of our town. So
far as we know, there has never, as
yet, been made preliminary survey
to ascertain the approximate cost of
the work. A subscription could be
raised in q weeks time to have this
matter clearly understood, and we
know of no better way than for some
one of our ambitious surveyors to
embark in the enterprise. Who will
come to the front with his Jacobs
staff aud level?

A Grave Error.

We often hear of wickedness in
high places" but we have yet to hear
of more glazing instance than the
present one, of the fact that error
may also be sometimes found where
least suspected. The following is
taken rerbatin, et Herdftm from the
Scientific american of August 9th:
Few people are aware that the
proud boast of Englishmen that the
sun never sets on the British En-
pire is equally applicable to the
United States. Instead of being the
western limit of the Union, San
Francisco is only about midway be-
tween the turthest A.eutian Isle, &C.
quired by our recent purchase Of
Alaska and Eastport, Me. Our Ter
ritory extends through 1872 of Ion
gitude, or 10 more than half way
round the globe Aud the same pa
goes on to quote highly romantic
peroration from the Rocky Mountain
Presbyterian. This rich n.orsel has
already gone the rounds of the press
and been ably critized, pro and con,
and hence we were ~ first not in
clined to r',rutI'.'s It, but since so
ridiculous.y ;,...4rd thing should
appear in the columns of the .Scientif-
&c american and be soberly endorsed
by that journal, we herewith append
it.: "When the sun is giving his
good night kiss to our westernmost
isle, on the confines of Behring'S Sea,
it is already flooding the fields of
Maine with its morning light, and in
the eastern part of the State is more
than an hour high. At the very mo-
ment when the Aleutian fisherman,
warned by the approaching shades
of nj ht, is pulling his canoe to the
shore, the wood-chopper of Maine is
making the forest echo with the
stirring music of his az" Now, as
the sharp girl said of her lovers
twaddle when he was trying to fool
her, this is all very pretty talk, but
it would be a great deal prettier if it
were only true. Instead of East
port, Maine, and the most west
erly Aleutian islands being separ-
ated by 1879 of longitude, and
thus extending ITO more than half
way around the globe, they are,
at the most, only 1879 30 apart;
this distance lacking $40 80 of reach
ing half way around the earth, We
beg pardon for going after a leading
scientific journal SO roughly, but
when We get a crack at big game we
are tempted to pull trigger.
