Ex-Governor Garcelon's testimony
before a committee of the Maine leg
isture is not calculated to enhance
that gentleman's reputation for hon
esty and integrity of character. Civ
ing him the full benefit of his state
ment, that he was ignorant of the in
famous frauds of his council, he is,
nevertheless, convicted of criminal
neglect of his official duties. The
Governors action was of the most
radical character, such as no upright
officer would take, unless he was
thoroughly convinced of the right
eousness Of his course, yet he now
admits that he relied entirely on the
statements of his council, and made
no examination into the facts him
self In other words, he aided and
abetted a gang of thieves without
troubling himself about their charac-
ter. Either be was a weak fool or
an accomplished villain.

Our informant maintains that
Shoalwater Bay, is one of the best
locations for large saw mill to be
found anywhere on the coast. Ex-
tensive tracts of spruce are to be
found on all the rivers and creeks,
and the timber is superior in size,
quality and length to any found on
the Sound or in British Columbia.
This is one of the resources which
will not long remain dormant after
its advantages are known to capital

OLYMPIA. WASHINGTON TER.
FRIDAY EVEN'G, SEPT. 10, 1880.
ShOalwater Bay.

A gentleman who has been spend
ing q few days at Shoalwater Bay,
furnishes us some very interesting
information relating to that district
of country. Several rivers put into
the Bay. The principal one, North
river, is navigable for light-draught
steamers o distance of eight or ten
miles, where falls are encountered,
but after this obstruction is passed,
small boats or canoes may ascent the
river some fifty or sixty miles. At
the Falls, the river flows through
low hills, and the valley below con-
sists of large area OF good bottom
land, capable of sustaining dense
population. This land is still un-
surveyed, which is probably the rea-
son it is not claimed, as few settlers
are disposed to encounter the risk of
an adverse title by the railroad COM
pany when the lines are finally ex-
tended. There are, however, some
good farms on the tide lands, which
have been under cultivation several
years.
TIE Willopa river is the principal
tributary of the Bay. Its valley is,
far as quality of soil is concerned,
the garden-spot of Washington Ter
ritory. 1t is settled as far as sur
veyei, a distance of about 25 miles.
There are some of the most home
like and best cultivated farms in this
valley to be found West of the Cac-
cadc mountains. The unsurveyed
portion lies at the head of the river.
A few 3ettlers have ventured in,
where they could, by the use Of the
chain, approximately determine "the
lay of the land" Near the mouth
of the river, Messrs. Wood, Miller
Il Co. have saw mill, which keeps
four vessels constantly employed in
furnishing the San Francisco market.
They enter and depart from the har-
Dor without tugs or pilots.
Next iu order are Bone, Palix and
Nemah rivers, all with considerable
prairie land at their mouths and rich
bottom land farther up, with but few
settlers. The Nassel river, short
distance further Oh, is next in size
to the Willcpa, and is navigable to
about Is miles from it's mouth and
has large DO dies of tide and bottom
land ON its borders. The streams
entering the Bay south of this, are
shorter and not navigable. The
principal of these is Bear creek,
flowing into the extreme southern
part Of the Bay.
A few Years ago, BIrceport and
Baskerville were fourishing little
towns, the former situated near the
mouth OF the Willopa, on the Bay,
aud the latter near the extremity of
fine narrow stretch Of land running
parallel with the bay and ocean line
10 Le-dbetter Point, but from some
cause. the local oyster trade declined,
and they now show but little evil
dence of their former prosperity; the
population being composed mainly
Of fishermen and sailors have natur.
