PROGRESS AND GRO WITH OF
AMERICA.

More than three hundred years
ago, when the Almighty, in his
never failing Providence, led our
fo%re-fathers, across the great deep,
to that America, then SO wild and
so unknown, and in spite Of the
hardships, the sutferiu2s, which
were encountered, settled them on
it's shores; little did these brave
pioneers think, that, they would
give rise to such a grand and pow
erful republic.
When the eloquent voice Of Pat.
rick Henry lighted the fire of Liber
ty, in the hearts Of u patriots Of
1875, and when the heroes of Lex
ington and Bunker Hill, led by the
noble Washington, bled aud starr
ed in the defence Of theic hons,

The Colyille Valley.

Mr. James Monahan, government con-
tractor, and citizen of Colville valley, is in
the city this week OF that country he says,
the area Of valley Is limited, and most of the
arabic land has been taken up, bat there
are tens Of thousands of bench lands, yet
unsettled, and this will make good farming
and grazing land. A large population can
be supported in Stevens county, the largest
in the territory, being 1900 miles in ex-
tent He says lime stone sbounds, and
when that branch of industry is improved it

country that row has to come from Puget
Sound at great expense. Coal has been dis
covered IN that county, and granite and
slate formations exist, and there are un-
dcubtedly valuable mineral deposits through
Ill chat region that may sometime well pay
for the investment of capital and labor.
At present Stevens county is bnt little
known. Settlers have been attracted there
because the military post at Fort Colville
had 10 be supplied with necessaries, bat the
troops have been removed from that
point, AID the settlers will have TO be
thrown more On their own resources. The
extent Of agricultural land nearer transpor-
tarion that invites settlement viii prevent
any immediate influx OF population to that
section, but at the rate immigration is COM
ing to the Pacific Northwest, it will not be
many years before Stevens county will be
better known and settled. Its varied re-
sources will insure for IL great prosperity in
the not distant future

Mr.. Samuel Bovles, now visiting the COAST
with rumher OF officials OF the Northern
Pacific rsilroad, among whom are h. l.
BeIknap, the treasurer. and j. b WIiians'
the confidential adviser of Henry Willard,
has been interviewed and says:
.Mr. Belknap desires TO aeouaint himself
personally with the character Of the country
and to gather such information as Will aid
him in intelligently directing the imnigra-
tioa schemes which the managers OF the rail-
road propose TO put into execution Ihe
people OF the east believe the far northwest

which are suspected rather than specifically
known, aad have joined this party In order

intend TO 90 as far as the read mas been COM
pleted into Montana, and along the various
bran hes of the Oregon Railway & Naviga-
ton company. We Will probably return by
December lst. Oar main desire Is to learn
the country, and then you know that the
Northern Pacific has the whole field TO Itself

pursue liberal policy. Il Is wholly ,nde-
pendent Of all other roads, and viii, as BE-
lieye, continue SO. The company certainly
intends TO encourage immigration, and II
Judge the feeling among eastern people
rightly, no difficulty will be experienced IN
inducing desirable class OF locstors to enter
on their lands. DO not believe that Con-
gress Will interfere with these plans by iegis-
latirg TO annnl the lapsed grants, for, as you
know, the encouragement has decided that
such legislation is necessary in order TO rein
corporate these lands into the public domain.
If the company is not intertered with, It's
original plans will be carried out, and IN
these the dcvelopement of the whole north
west region is contemplated.

dent of all transcontinenta lines, and prom
ises TO remain independent. The Northern
Pacific has field TO itself, and will cuiti-
yate it without paying much attention to
the business of other roads, the interests OF
which are not directly In conflict with It's
own believe that it is its policy TO develop
the local resources OF the country through
which 1t passes, and to create business
which cannot be taken from It. Such pol
icy is certainly wlse one, and the efforts
looking to this end which the company has
made so far have already resulted IN very
favorable public opinion concerning it among
the people Of the eastern states. Vi the re-
sources OF the region through which the
Northern Pacific passes it is hardly neces-

That Cleaning Up.

There are dozen, certainly eight families
in this city. who have the best of freasons for
denounemg the presen. wretchedly filthy
condition Of our streets and alleys. With a
yirulent disease in their households, and the
lives Of those they hold as dear as the hearts
blood, IL great danger, it is not likely that
they contemplate the apparent cause of this
terrible affection with any degree of patience
or competency. When the diphtheria Wis
tied this city two or three weeks ago, the
physicians who had OF course examined the
matter, plainly stated that the sickness was
greatly abetted if not directly induced by
the filthy condition Of our streets and alleys,
backwards and out-houses, and strongly
urged that general cleaning up be made.
In a great many Instances, families consti-
tuted themselves Board OF Health, and the
cleaning was done, but the City Council
gave no general order 10 this effect, and the
Street Commissioner paid no more attention
TO the request to do his duty, than If he had
been bass-wood man orH dark lantern with
mittens. The filth remains, and to-day We
are deploIing sickness in our midst. 1t is 4
great pity that the officials whose business 1t
is to look after this matter, have so little of
any particular time 10 spare to these impor-
tant things, and shame, that the Street
Commissioner is allowed to proceed about
this city, at an expense to the taxpayers of
$50 per month, with such an unblushing
disregard of both law and public opinion.
There is nothing that We need more than a
thorough cleaning up of this city, unless it is
a new Street Commissioner. Perhaps the
last would contribute to the general health
of tie city

Fitted In from other Editorial Rooms.

The PcS IRteliGeacer is in favor OF digl-
tated stockings-that is stockings with toes.
We take this from a very learned disserta-
ton on this sort of foot-gear: "We are
strongly inclined 10 favor them as likely to
cCnduce to comfort, and spare many persons
WHO now suffer from the development OF
soft corns between the toes, a serious trou-
bic. They would also be more cleanly than
the stockings in common Use, because they
would naturally absorb and remove the acid
moisture which aecumulates between the
toes, and which is the general cause of often
sive odJrs from the feet. They will, more
over, give the foot better play, allowing its
phalanges greater freedom OF action. And
lastly, well fitted digitated sock Or stock
ing will remove a mass of material from the
toe OF the boot, and, at the same time, secure
increased breadth and expansion across the
base OF the toes"
Mr. Noltner, of the Portland Standard.
says: "The best news received from mill
tary source is, that Gen. Mcdowell was
placed on the retired list on the 18TH"
Chief Of Police Wooiery, of Seattle, has
notified half dozen suspicious looking char
acters to quit that city forthwith. Some Of
them said they lad money, and wanted to
remain, but this to the officer was considered
10 excuse.
The Sound people have the southeaster
weather. They'll have it till Christmas,
too.
They have footpads in Victoria. Three
men have been told to throw up their hands
daring the past week. None did as CON-
manded, however, but all ran away.

In the hope of escaping a libel sait. the
new publication in this city made weak
attempt, in its local columns, last even
ing, to neutralize the effect of its IN
truthful statements against the character
of Major Truax, the Republican candi-
date for Councilman. Major Trua1 pro-
poses that those who have made these
charges shall investigate them. He does
not propose to be satisfied with any dis
sembling fattery. 1t is currently re-
ported and believed, that the instigator Of
this attack upon the character Of Major
Truax is not connected with the new pub
lication as an editor, but IS a United
States official in the land department
here, and IS an advisory committee OF one
in the editorial room at the corner OF Sc
cond and Main. His personal animosity
to Major Truax, and which is the motive
in these attacks, began some years ago,
and the history of ii viii be given to our
readers ere long.

daughter was perched on large lum-
Der wagon, seated on an old-fashioned

tanned by taxation. Whom young peo-
pie are determined to marry, one or

asylum until they have entirely recoy-
cred from the determination.
