4 correspondent OF the Post gives the
following interesting and valuable infor-
nation in regard to the Cady trail to
which we first directed public attention
recently:
The project of building a trail across
the mountains from some point on the
Snohomish river, was first broached by
Mr.. Cady, one of the pioneer settlers on
this river, and he, together with some of
his neighhors, about the year 1862, sur
veyed route across :hc Cascades from
where the town of Snohomish now stands
to Wenachee lake, on the Wenachee river
in Eastern Washington. About the same
time good and practicable pack trail
was built on the survey made, and but
little work would be required to put it
in good shape again.
This trail leaves Suohomish city, and
after following the course of the Sno-
homish river for short distance, strikes
eastwardly INTO the woods tor some 20
miles, when 1t crosses the Sultan river a
few miles above its confluence with the
Skykomish river, then follows the Sky
komisn, though at some distance from it
till it reaches Wallace river, which it
crosses near the north; 1t follows the
south fork of the Skykomish to its source.
passing within mile or so of the head
OF the south fork of Stiliguamish, and
leaving the south fork of the Skagit but
Il few miles to the north; thence across
the summit of the range and down the
Wenachee to the lake, and as the country
is open, a traveller can have his own road
from there.
The trail located by Cady was good
pack trail in every particular, no heavy
grades, but few water courses to cross,
and those few are bridged, and running
through country rich in mineral wealth,
and destined some day, and that not far
remote, to play an important role in the
mining exhibit in the Northwest For
fair diggings have been struck on all the
streams mentioned above, and the south
fork of the SkykomisL is known to
abound in quartz leads of undoubted
richness and value, and all that is needed
to make the mountains reverberate
with the clang and thud of the stamp
mill is the opening OF this route and the
introduction here of men skilled in min>
ing with capital at their back, ready to
be invested in this remunerative industry
The distance by this trail to Wenachee
lake is between ninety and one hundred
miles from Snohomish city, and to the
summit of the Cascades fifty five.

FALSE REroRT-The casualty to this
office by reason of the snow storm, which
caused a suspension of one week, was
maliciously seized upon as a basis for
the report that the interests of suitors in
court were greatly imperilled by the fail
ure of publication in legal notices.
The report but betrays the baseness of
its origin, without having any iounda-
ton iE truth. None but the base-born
and low>bred meddle with the private
affairs of their neighbors, and only a
malignant and unprincipled nature can
draw felicity from the misfortune OF
Others.
