EARLY SEATTLE.

A young lady correspondent, late
pupil in the University. writes from
this city to the Goldendale Gazette the
following pretty little historical sketch:
Let me through the columns of the
Gazette tell nv old friends and your
readers generally Of the early history
Of this region. In the spring of 1850,
when Olympia was unknown and Tum-
water was o mere hamlet with less
than q dozen souls, a pale faced youth
from Oregon started from that point in
an Indian canoe with no companion
save his Indian guide. He had heard of
that grand arm of the sea, Puget Sound,
with its 200 miles of placid, deep
waters, dotted with 80 many handsom e
islands, and he had determined 10 ex-
plore it. In due time the little boat was
moored at the head of Elliott bay. 20
miles from Olympia.
&c Holgste staked out the first claim
near the present site of Seattle, ard
then returned to Oregon here he gave
such glowing account of the land he
had visited that in the fall of 1851 G c
and Lee Terry. A A and ID T Denny. j
N.Low, W n Bell and c d Boren came
with their families to Alki Point.
In the spring of 1852 DIR d s May
nard settled on Elliott bay near Hol-
gates claim. laid out own, and called
il Seattle. after an old Indian chief who
then owned the land Bell. Boren aud
Denny soon took claims adjoining May
nard. and laid the foundation for the
most promising city now along the
Sound.
In 1868 Fl l. Yesler erected ON the
town site steam sawmill. Accessions
were made to the. settlement, and much
money was realized from the sale of
piles and lumber shipped to San Fran
cisco. Cranberries aud picked salmon
also became quite an article of export.
At that date the White river and Du-
vanish valleys south OF Seattle were
almost untrodden. But by the year
1855 those fertile and beautiful valleys
contained here and there the cabin
homes of pioneer settlers. and the pros
perity Of Seattle, with it's rich back
ground and its broad expanse of water
in::f front. leading to the highway of the
world. seemed assured. Such was Seat
tie quarter of century ago.
