DIVISION OF THE TERRITORY.
WaiIa Walla I'nion.


The Olympia STANDARD was moved
to publish this: " y close observer
of the course of the Legislature and
the temper of its members, the whole
session, remarked, the other day,
that he could see no good reason
why community so diverse in it's
interests and feelings as Eastern aud
Weste Washington, should desire
to be embraced under State con-
stitution; that there was something
more than a geographical division to
separate the districts. This is a sub
ject for deep thought, before further
steps are taken to secure State
hood"
1t would not be bad idea to let
the Cascade mountains divide Oregon
and Washington into two States; the
Willamette Valley and Puget Sound
forming one and Eastern Washing
ton and Oregon constituting anoth-
er. According TO the census of 1880,
Oregon continued la, 7G7, and
Washington 5,12O inha bitan.s. II
a State were formed out of Western
Oregon and Washington it would
contain about 175, 200 Inhabitants.
A State composed Of Eastern Oregon
and Washington would contain about
$4,000 people. The Territory of
Washington is ready to become a
State. Why not divide Oregon and
Washington and make a great sea-
coast State out of the one and an In
land Empire of the other? The
scheme is practicable and at first
glance seems advisable. One of the
strongest reasons COR carrying out the
scheme is found in the extract from
the STANDARD that there is an IRE.
concilable diversity of interests and
feelings between the inhabitants OF
the Eastern and Western portions Of
Washington and Oregon. The yari
ance is as great as the difference il
the physical geography of the two
sections. What have the press and
the people to say about the PROPOSE
ton?
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1881-12-16
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE QUESTION.
Walla Walla Statesman.

Naiia Walla statesman.
The utterances of the Olympia
STANDARD are generally oracular, but
with all due Difference the Statesman
must take exceptions to an editorial
in its last issue, suggesting that a
division of the Territory would be
advisable, for thu reason that the
people of Eastern and Western
Washington care so diverse in their
interests and feelings" During the
session of the Legislature there has
no doubt been some little ill feeling
caused by diverse interests, more es-
pecially in the matter of appropria-
tons and in the talk of removing
the Capital of the Territory to some
more central point east of the noun
tains. This last we imagine is at
the bottom of the soreness of our
respected contemporary. If the Cap
ital was removed Olympia would he
ruined. There are very few nova
days, except maybe some scheming
politicians, who care for any change.
AS we are now, the whole Territory
is on the road to that development
which will make us one of the
wealthiest and most populous states
in the Union. We have everything
to gain by strictly preserving the
integrity of the Territory. The
Puget Sound country is not yet
strong enough to 60 alone, and the
only chance it would have is by be-
coming the tail-end of Oregon, in
which their own chances, now so
good, of becoming the center of the
commercial supremacy for the North
west would be utterly and entirely
ruined and Portland alone would be
the gamer. The Puget Saunders
are too sensible to supply their worst
enemy with weapons to be used
against itself. Let us hear no more
of such nonsense, for the mere pro-
position of division is too ridiculous
for contemplation. Time and space
are now being annihilated, and the
time is not far distant when the
mountains will be pierced and the
iron horse will place East and West
within few hours journey of each
other and all will be we'll.

Statehood.

An article copied from tho Walla
Walla Union, which appears in this
issue, indicates that the under-cur-
rent against admission as a State
with the proposed boundaries, is
gaining considerable strength. With
the remote possibility of such an
event occurring under the constitu-
ton submitted to the people three
years ago, would it not be we'll to
abandon the project and ascertain
the next best measure to advance
our interests as people? This is a
question of vital Importance 10 all.
There are probable very few resi-
deuts on the Sound, however, who
would accept the proposition made
by that journal of making Western
Washington an integral part of Ore
gon, and the reasons which it admits
are tenable objections to the present
boundaries, apply with equal, if not
greater force, to the proposed union
of our interests with those of the
Willamette valley. That would be
literally tieing two cats by the tail,
and the conflict which would ensue
might not result in n victory for the
best animal, but the one which
should be endowed for the time be-
ing with the slarpest claws. The
Columbia river is as insuperable a
barrier as the Cascade range of
mountains, and even after dense
population should be attracted to
the northern boundary the mopeyed
interest of the valley would hinder
and obstruct the development of the
Sound, with all its advantages for
becoming the commercial center.
The time will ultimately come
when the State of Washington will
be bounded by the mountains on the
west and the river on the South.
We must wait awhile for admission.
Would it not be we'll to patiently
bear the ills Incident to Territorial
government until State can be
erected upon foundation which will
stand for ages? 1t seems to be
the part of wisdom to avoid a course
which promises with its benefits a
condition that may result in an in
terminable wrangle, in which our
rapidly developing resources may be
buried out of sight. The session of
of the Legislature just closed has
developed enough of sectional feel
ing to cause the prudent 10 call a
halt for counsel as to the best course
for preserving the peace and WE'LL
being of both districts.
Several important laws, in type for this issue,
are crowded out.

Who i Responsible!

gree even in II ii :, l'u. why this fact
should be III ,le 20 fairly draw the
ealth from its orbit does not IA PEN

But while engaged in combat, they
should be careful where they tread
as the innocen!s may suffer and the
blood of the slain torture their con-
sciences after the excitement Of the
ordeal bias passed away.
The origin of the present difficulty
is the Legislative reports. The ORE
gonid" reporter wrote something
about the smallpox at New Tacoma
and the Lrdgrr forthwith pronounced
the legislative summary given by the
former journal and copied by othel
papers tumble. What connec-
ton can possibly exist between the
two subjects. it is impossible fol
anybody under the clouds to discov-
er, but, that there is link invisible
to finite minds, must, under the cir.
cumstances, be conceded.
AS the Lcdyer's criticism applies
equally to the rurai press, we must
rise to explain. The STANDARD did
not propose, with its limited SPACE
to give anything more than list Oh
bills presented, with the names OF
their introducers, and to note finaI
action on each measure. This it hes
done faithfully and with ordinary
accuracy. If the record appeared
to be q tumble, it was because the
proceedings were at fault. Bill,
were sometimes passed without read
ing more than the title, and severa
measures after defeat, came up thu
second and third time, in violation
of ali rules of propriety and legisla
tive pre- cedent. This of course pro
duced tumble, but we do not SCI
why those who endeavored to follow
the devious record should be bel,
accountable for it. The Lcdge
should be more charitable. Som
of its ideas appear exceedingl
dwarfed in comparison with its gen
eral tone. We confess no small
partiality for its neat print, its ad
mirable selections and well-writtel
editorials, and can only account TO
an occasional exhibition of narrow
gauge judgment by INDUCING th
belief that too much of the time @
the editor is, like that of James hero
spent in the saddle.

good work was undoubtedly done

bad work has also been done cannot

good deal. This Legislature was
largely composed of very small men,
who generally carried the idea that
they were very great men. With
this mistaken notion strongly fixed
in their heads, they supposed all
previous Legislatures to have been
composed of ignoramuses, block
heads and bunglers, Whole work
must be gone over, revised and

men was nowhere more apparent

WHAT Is THOUGHT OF TIRE CODE PRINTING.

WHAT Is THOUGHT OF TIRE CODE PRINTING.
Statesman.
If we may Judge from the tenor of
letter we received from Olympia
on Thursday morning, it is very
evident that the San Francisco firm
of Bancroft will be allowed to get
away with printing the Washington
Territory code, for which So, 900 was
appropriated by the general Govern
ment. In this our Legislators have
sacrificed The interests of the Ter
ritory and plainly showed that they
do not care to foster home industry.
This is the reward the newspapers
get for supporting such men for hon.
orable positions.
Walia Walla Town-Talk.
The proposition to let Bancroft of
S. T. get away with the appropriation
of 50. 900 for printing the Territorial
Cede, is nothing more nor less than
a wholesale kidnapping Of the
peoples money; this too while there
are publishers and printers in the
Territory who are as competent to
perform the work as any house in
San Francisco. The empty headed
noodles who sanction this scheme
should be noted by every news
paper man in the Territory. Pass it
around.

The death Of our townman, M. Il
Tilley, last Monday, though hourly
expected, cast shadow of gloom
over 'his and many other commu-
mites where he was we'll known.
Mr.. Tilley was pioneer in the broad
est acceptation of the tenn, having
contributed with untiring industry
to advance the interests of the peo-
pie at time when muscle and energy
were required to set the ball OF pro-
gress in motion. He was born in
Marion county Indiana, in 1884;
came to the Willamette valley in
1852, and settled with his parents
on Mound Prairie the succeeding
year. During a period of. nearly
ten years he was mail carrier on the
Monticello and Olympia route. He
afterwards engaged in speculation,
and soon amassed q competency.
In 1879 lie served term in the Leg
islature, soon after which the mall
ady from which be died fixed itself
with unerring grip upon his physi-
cal system. He had been in Buffalo,
N. Y, nearly year, for medical
relief, until few weeks preceding
his death. His remains were laid in
Masonic cemetary last Wednesday,
by large concourse of sympatbizing
friends. He leaves o wife and fam
lily to mourn his loss.
