that Where there i, a will there is
way. Olympia has tested the
ruth Of this saying by the construc-
ton of her O!ympia-Tenino Rail-
road. Experience has proved that
the narrow guaSe railroad is vastly
moro economical and Of equal utility
with the standarI-auagc railroad
for all short line roads. Congress
will doubtless ut its next session SO
far acceed to the almost universal
demand for free trade as to remove
the tariff from railroad iron. This
will reduce the cost of railroads near
one-half. The distance from Olvm-
pia to the Columbia River opposite
Wallula by air line is 1872 miles. A
narrow guage railroad between these
two points could be constr ucted on
route not to exceed $50 miles.
which ut an average cost of IS 900
per mile would be 1000, 600. WAYS
and means may be devised to raise
this sum. Let Olympians assemble
in council and discuss this matter
and devise the ways and means. No
time should be lost. Delays are dan
grrous. The prize may be grasped
by another point and forever lost to
Olympia. l suggest that meeting
be called for next Saturday evening,

Hall, to start the ball rolling. Let
us hear from some one else.

Loss of the Schooner COurser.

DR.. II. H. Larsdale writes us, un-
der date of Aug. 9th, from the
Quinault Indian Agency, the partic-
ulars of the loss of this vessel. We
quote as follows: The three masted
schooner Courser, Capt. VIM. M.
Smith, from San Francisco bound
for Puget Sound, went ashore last
night (the 2Gth) about midnight, five
miles north of Point Grenville and
two miles north of the Agency and
is now stranded high up on the sand
beach, being near high tide when
she struck. There was dense fog,
sky overcast, sea calm, and the surf
so little that the lookout at the mast
head and the watch on deck were
not warned Of the vessels nearness
to land till the wheelman called fire
supposing the breakers to be fire,
and she struck at once. The Cours-
er was an AL vessel of some $50 tons,
about three years old, built in Puget
Sound, and owned in San Francisco
and was valued at $40, 900.
She has On board some 60 tons
assorted cargo for Seattle, New Ia
coma, Steilacoom and Olympia. The
Olympia consignees are: s. Stork
25 packages, and l.. Bettman 60
packages. Capt. Smith landed his
crew aud provisions and camped on
the beach, and then started south
ward along the b. ach to find assist
ance. Soon as he reached here Col.
Wood, Indian Agent dispatched
force of Indians to help lard and
save the cargo, and it is supposed
1t can be landed in good condition.
An Indian messenger leaves to night
for Olympia with documents for all
parties interested. The Captain
has entered his protest before U. S.
Commissioner Wood.

LATE developments and present
prospects would seem to warrant the
conclusion that we are to have no
more grain shipped to this Territory
from California. MIR. w. F. Crosby
informs us that he is employed in
the interest of San Francisco capital
lists in buying wheat, rye and oats.
For wheat he is paying 80 cents per
bnshel, for rye 20 cents, and for
oats 30 cents. It is to be seen
whether or not this effort on the
part of Mr.. Crosby vii! prove suf-
ficient incentive to ou1 farmers to
cause them to do their part in the
laudable enterprise Of developing
the grain resources of this pc rtion
of our Territory. 1t is very certain
that if our people ever see the agri-
culture of the Sound country brought
up to the high standard of which it
is capable, they must begin the good
work by offering sufficient induce
ments to capitalists from abroad to
cause them to become interested
and identified in our behalf. Let it
be remembered that fortune favors
those who favor themselves.

We notice with a good deal of sat-
isfaction that several of the newly
arrived emigrants have found profit
able employment in our intermina-
BILE forests, cutting cord-wood for
steamboat use. A good axeman need
never be for long time out of en-
ployment. Our forests afford en-
ployment to hundreds of willing
hands, and the wood and bark busl-
ness is something that is not affected
by the panics that SO depress many
other caliings. This is wood-burn-
ing country and somebody must be
detailed to do the work of cutting and
hauling it to town.

REV. Mir. Mccormick, the newly

the League with good effect Sunday
afternoon.
