Here II bit OF history respect
fully commended to the attention Of
our readers in WLatcom and San
Juan counties. Ia 1858, the town
of Whatcom contained 1000 inhabi>
tants and WhatcOm was not only
then the largest town in the terri>
tory, but larger than any other
town that has grown up since under
quarter Of ccntury's sunshine
and weather, Seattle excepted.
Had there been no boundary line
between the town of Whatcom and
British Colnmb ia, Governor Douglas
never would have passed the order
compelling everybody going into
British Columbia to procure license
from the officials stationed at Vic
toria. When the steamers cons
menced running up the Fraser as
far as Hope and Yale, Whatcom
would Still have had tolerably fair
hold upon the trade of the mines
by Hoans Of pack train, wagon, and
ting enterprise which went so far as
to open up the Sumass road.
Turn the historical Kaleidoscope
to represent a lapse of "a years.
The archipelago of de Fuca's sea is
no longer English, but American.
The coal mining which retained for
Whatcom degree of Importance,
is found replaced and overborne by
the agricultural industries of the
Swinomish, Skagit, Samish and the
Nooksack rivers, and of the several
fertile islands forming chain to
Vancouver Island. A railroad is in
progress along the valley of the
Fraser reaching far into the inter-
Tor. Again the boundary line
looms up like Chinese wall, de-
flecting the road coming to Fuca
Strait fifty miles to the northwest,
in order to be With. Canadian ter
ritory. On the American side of
the picture we SEE settlement aud
development Enthusiastically progress
ing, based on substantial but local
resources, in the form of timber and
coal; slowly but surely crawling
down Sound, where a solid agricuI-
tural development is seen taking
the lead, while timber and coal are
apparently in the background; no
significance attaching, SO far as
visible, at present, to the operations
in progress anywhere on the Ameri-
can portion of the Sound, connect
ing it with the great interior and
beyond, except through Portland.
But the boundary line, though
only an imaginary line over our
fertile Nooksack and Fraser plain,
is living factor, like mountain
range erected against US by our
government. Situated as we are,
by the Strait, and in every way
most favorably and centrally on
Puget Sound proper, every article
of produce we raise has TO be car
ried 100 miles up Sound and back
again, at freight expense partly
equal and partly double the rate
from Puget Sound to San Francisco
to get to market. Every article we
consume pays the same freight, and
tribute besides, to the upper
Sound. Whatcom and San Juan
counties are not only thus bottled
up and thereby retarded and ln>
calentably injured, by the neglect
and discrimination against us of
the general government, in with
holding from the custom house Of
ficers stationed on this side Of the
Strait the clearing and entering
pow ers, everywhere else conceded
along the the northern boundary of
the United States, but to make mat
tiers worse the neck of our phenom-

One Of the principal issues OF the next
campaign in the opinion of many of our
leading citizens, will be to redistrict the
city into ten or more wards, with a repre-.
sentstion OF one alderman from each ward
1t is urged that under the present sys.
tenn the wards are so large, both in
population and area, that it seems
to be impossible for the representatives Of
the wards a. they are now to give them
proper attention. which all parts Of the
city demand. There are those citizens and
property-owners who reside in the remote
parts of these wards who are making COM
plants, loud and deep, because
they believe their interest does
not receive the same attention as other por-
tons of the ward in which they live. Under
this head they claim as one of their main
complaints that they are taxed for gas,
water works, street improvements, etc,
from which they derive no benefit, and that
all these matters should be made subjects
OF special taxation and only the property
benefited by these necessities or conven-
fences should be taxed for their support.
That an increase Of wards will not impose
any additional cost on the city, save Alder
manic meetings, a mere triile, while
it will give different parts OF
the city fairer and better representation
in municipal matters. For her population
Dallas has fewer wards than any town IN
the state, The town of Weatherford with
a population only Of from 5000 to 1900, has
more wards while Galveston has ten or
more,--yet Dallas has only four.

GENERAL INTELLIGENCE
The Star-lkouters.


WAsuINGToN, August S.-The first wit
ness in the star.route cases to-day was Hon.
Joseph Blackburn, of Kentucky who was
chairman OF the subcommittee OF the
house, appointed by the appropriation 5
committee to investigate the circumstances
OF the deficiency in, the star-route service,
He said he thought Walsh route was first
mentioned in the investigation in the lat
ter part of January, 1850. Congress had
appropriated 81, 5000 o for the maintenance
OF the star.route service, and in January
Brady had informed him that by
June 3Oth, there would be II deficiency
of 81, 10000. He had then moved for an
investigation. After the introduction of an
official statement TO show the acceptances
of the bids made by Dorsey, Miner and
Peck, Mr.. Bliss said the prosecution had
closed their case with exception OF the testi-
money of ex-senator Spencer, who could
not at present he produced, and he moved
that the trial be postponed until Spencer
could be put on the stand. The court de-
clined, however, to grant the motion. The
defense called James II. Joyce, clerk OF the
National hotel, who said that Harvey Nj.
Vale stopped at that hotel when in the
city, but that he has not been there from
March 10th to July 10th, 1878. This closed
the evidence ON both sides. Mr.. Bliss filed
his motion for u postponement Of the trial,
together with ailidavits setting forth what
he expected to prove by Spencer. A coun-
ter affidavit of s. w. Dorsey was
filed by the defense. After some dis
cussion rs to the instructions to the jury
on points of law ard as to the order
of closing argument the court adjourned.
Mr.. Kerr will probably begin the closing
argument Tor the prosecution tomorrow,
1t is expected Mr. Bliss, MIR. Merrick and
the attorney general will also speak ,as we'll
as all counsels for the defense, and that ar
gument will occupy ten days.

Settled,

CHARLESTON, S. &. August S,-Mayor
Courtenay announced to the city council
to-day the settlement of the interest of the
city in the estate of William Euston, who
died here in 1860, leaving property valued
at half million dollars. Euston
was "a native of Canterbury, Eng
land, and had contemplated throughout
his lie the endowment of a charitable in-
stitution similar to the well known hospi-
tai for the poor brethren in his native
town. by his will he gave the whole
income of his estate to his widow, Euston
during her life, subject TO the payment OF
certain requests and annulties, and
upon her death and that of the annuiiies
the whole estate to go to the city OF Charles
ton to build hospital for old and iniirm
persons, excluding lunatics. The necessary
qualifications must be poverty and good,
honest character. The OBJECT, in the words
of the will, is more to make old age COM
Portable than anything else. About eigh.
teen months ago Mayor Courtenay opened
negotiations with Mrs. Fusion look
ing TO settlement that would put
the city In position to erect
and maintain the hospital at ones under
the settlement which has been made. The
city has Just received $1,000 in cash and real
estate, winch is available at once, and a
further sum of $4,000 has been in
vested in trustees for the payment
of certain amounts. The annual
surplus, il any, going to the city, and the
capital sum, likewise, when the last an.
nuty falls due. The management of the
whole fund is vested In trustees who will
hold the Office perpetually and serve with
out conversation. The hospital will be
known as the VIM. Euston Home, and
consist, under the terms OF the will OF
rows OF substantial brick cottages. The
city has bought as site eight acres OF land
in the northern part of the city, and In the
centre will be placed bronze statue of Will
liam Euston.
