n NORTHWEST ENTERPRsE
ANACORTES. MAY q. 1882.

Between Victoria and WcStmin>
ster there are running regularly
three steamers, one once or twice,
and the others three times Il week.
They carry each way, on an aver
age, from Nay LIST to September lst,
IS passengers per week; sometimes
as many as 300; never less than 30.
In winter the regular steamers run
twice a week, carrying on an aver
age about so passengers. We will
give in another issue some idea OF
the working population and the
amounts paid them for wages on
the Fraser river country adjoining
Whatcom county. No one can be-
come aware of the facts without
taking in at once the conclusion
that if there were any regular
means of communication by mail
or mail steamer from Semiahmoo,
the present terminus Of the Ameri-
can mai route TO Westminster, we
should see twenty times if not
fifty times the traffic we now enjoy
along the Whatcom coast. The
actual cost Of travelling from
Westminster to Samish by the only
practicable public route via Victor>
ia, Townsend, Seattle and Laconner,
is S42. BY canoe or sloop it is s25
and $50 respectively-at the risk Of
delay or drowning in the Gulf of
Georgia. Hundreds would pass
through and visit Whatcom county
if they had the opportunity, by a
regular mail boat. Business would
be transacted that cannot now be
thought of. 81 cannot think" says
q late traveller and ex-resident, nof
anything that would help the
Fraser river country and this coun-
try so much as communication
through by the extension Of the
mail route from Semiahmoo to
Westminster.

A Sons Pride.

Thomas CARLYLE had a very humble
origin. His father was a stone-mesorl
and worked as day laborer. But he
was honest and upright and impressed
his sturdy character upon his children.

him away to study, against the advice OF
his neighbors, who prophesied t. at

These sinister predictions were frr

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Dispatches from Washington say
that prosecution of the star route
eases have thus far been without
favorable results to the government.
Fear is expressed that no conviction
will be obtained. The country will
be greatly surprised if any Of the
principal thieves are punished.
Ever since tho death of the lament
ed Garfield the prosecution has been
half-hearted, weak and harmless.
There seems TO be no real desire to
prosecute with the. vigor that
would have characterized the form

have followed the farce are fully
prepared for the inevitable verdict

"Tacoma" would DO a good
enough name for the future state of
western Washington; and "Colum.

But we will have TO start in with a

Columbia will not do alongside of
British Columbia. Nor will the

to be confused with the city OF Ia

S. f. Chronicle: Recently near
Nevada city the managers of a
mine determined to discharge their
fifty>two Chinese workmen getting
$3.50 day, and employ in their
places twenty six white men at
$3.50 each. The result has proved
the wisdom of the change, for with
half the force of men an increased
amount of work has been done.

five stamps running, whilo the
present force get enough ore to
keep ten stamps busy.

from The Hour, August 10, 1882
The star route conspirators are evidently not as
conndent or acqufttal as they have professed to
be, for their counsel are talking against time at
rate that promises 20 prOlong the trial until the
indicted persons shuttle OF this mortal coil. One
OF the counsel lmpudently attempts TO make capt.
tai Tor Dorsey by saying that President Arthur
was 'his friend, his familiar" the truth being
tha Dorsey is prominent politician OF a class
whom they have as little 10 do as possible. There
has Also been an attempt TO drag President Gar
ned from his grave TO assist at the defense OF men
whom Intelligent public opinion has already con-
Vlcted, on evidence that makes reversal OF the de-
cision impossible. Outside the court room, the de-
tense Is equally busy and desperate; interviews
scurrilous abuse covert threats against Judge and
jury, all combine In trying TO case which no
honest lawyer should have allowed himself TO
touch at all.
