For the first time since our residence in
this city the Band furnished some excellent
music from the stand on Tuesday evening,
which was generally appreciated by our
citizens. Perhaps it would not be out of
place for us TO add in this connection that
under the leadership Of Prof. Meyrelles,
this Band is hardly excelled in the State,
and that more public recognition of its
worth by our citizens would be properly
bestowed, and do much to keep the Band
together, which for the credit of the city
certainly ought to be done.
The number of scholars in the Owosso
Union School District, between the ages of
five and twenty years is 944, as enumer
ated by Lasell Lyon, for the Board of Ed
ucation, and is an increase of about 100
over last year. which should show an in
crease in the population of the district Of,
at least 400, and probably 500 would be
nearer the true figure. In the city of
Owosso, the reported increase in the pupu-
lation is 800, making the population of the
city just about 5000. But that is probably
several hundred below the real number.
A tribute to the memory Of Nellie +. 4,
the only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Will.
lam Harris, ofWest Owosso, who departed
this life after brief, but very painful i'll
ness, Thursday morning, Aug. 31st, 1882,
aged nine years five months and five days.
Though called early in life. when the bud
was just about to bloom. Our darling
Nellie leaves behind her many pleasant
memories of the past, and long will she be
mourned for by parents, schoolmates and
friends in the future. In her school work
she was very bright and active. She will
be remembered by many for the part
which she so much loved to take in the
literary exercises which won the admira-
ton of all. She was loving and loved, her
sweet little face and winning ways made
happy the home and frightened the circle
in which she moved, now dark and desc
Iate by the stern reaper death, having with
his sickle cut the choicest bud to bloom in
paradise. May the same hand that has
seen fit in His alwise way to taken to
himself the bud he gave, be with the ach-
ing hearts of the strickened parents in this
the darkest hour of their lives. We know
not why she is taken, but Our God is 0
God of love, and dear parents remember
your darling awaits you in the happy
home beyond.

The Democratic Territorial Plat
form, inserted elsewhere, is quite a
sensible document considering that
such productions generally charge
the Republican party with being re-
sponsible for all the bad luck the
country ever had. The territory and
nation being both on course Of gen
eral prosperity, there is no room for
the old dodge. President Garfeld's
assassination, however, is charged
up to the teachings of the admins
tration party now 10 power at Wash
ington. President Garfield was shot
by poorly balanced crank who failed
to get office, therefore the Arthur
wing of the party are responsible for
the act! Splendid (D Dreasoning! Not
one jot of evidence brought out in
the long trial of the ASSASSIN went to
show that any one save Guiteau him
self had anything whatever to do with
the shooting, therefore Arthur and
his political friends are responsible

OUR British Columbia neighbors
are at last waking up to the fact that
they need better telegraphic facilities,
The ARGUS called their attention to
the matter over four years ago, and
suggested that an extension of the
Puget Sound line to Port Angeles
and a cable connecting it from there
with Vancouver's Island would obvi
ate the constant and vexatious delays
of telegraphic matter over the West
ern Union line through Whatcom
county and the islands in the straits.
That line as is we'll known, has several
cables across narrow deep channels
where swift currents and underlying
beds of copper so predispose toward
breakages that continuous difficulty
and expense are experienced in main
taing communication. Papers in
British Columbia are obliged to rely
on Puget Sound dailies for telegraph
ic news for their patrons. and bust
ness men in the province usually find
that just when they want to send
some highly important message, the
inevitable break occurs. The Victoria
Standard, with a patronizing air of
loyalty to its government, advises
bearing with the evil till through
line is constructed by that govern
ment to Canada. More enterprising
business men who see growing evi
dences on all sides of the absolute
necessity of speedy change for the
better, advise permit to the Puget
Sound line to connect across the
Straits of Fuca.

SEATTLE has granted the right to
lay water pipes in her streets to John
Leary. This calls to mind the fact
that an Eastern man is said to be de-
sirous of obtaining similar privilege
in Port Townsend. 1t is evident that
something of the kind will have to be
done here soon to accommodate the
growing necessities of the public. A
few thousand dollars will suffice to
bring clear fresh water into our town
from Chimacum creek or the lakes
still farther back, and an endless
profit could be reaped in water rents
under the exclusive privilege. Let
the water be brought to town, by all
means; the public need it, and a good
opening is in store for some individ-
ual for the Investment of capital.

IT appears that Messrs. Middlemiss
& Bool now want to purchase the
new saw mill at this point inst ad of
renting it. As reason land plau
sible one, too,) they allege aversion to
putting extensive improvements on
leased property. They want to get
the mill mainly for the purpose of
starting an immense shipyard in con-
nection with it, and claim, we learn,
that their cash investment, if they
purchased the mill, will not stop till
il has reached something like 100000.
Under the circumstances, if they will
buy the mill with an agreement to
keep it running and put in the bust
ness spoken of, we should say that
every stockholder would be making
money by selling at par-though the
property is worth considerably more
today than the cash outlay of its
owners. Really, the whole thing be-
gins to wear an aspect very desirable
for Port Townsend.

A Very Smart Girl.

The smartest girl I've met in Iowa ] met
! recently in Nevada, Story county. Northwest
ern Iowa-Miss Belle Clinton. Miss Clinton
is a bright. eyed, rosy-cheekcd girl of about
20. as full of fun and health and vigor as a
good girl can be. Two years ago Miss Clin-
ton was a school teacher. Saving up. by her
| teaching, about Sl60. she last spring borrow
| ed a span Of horses from her father, rugged up
a prairie schooner" and, taking her little
brother, started for Dakota. Miss Clinton
says laughngly to-day. speaking of her trip
why. ! never lived SO nicely in my life and
! never had snch an appetite; and such cour-
tesy as ! received everywhere. Rough, rude
men would come to our camp, and after
had talked to them awhile. offer to build my
fire and actually bring water to me. We
went up through the wheat country, which
they call the Jim river country" It's about
one hundred miles east from the Missouri at
Fort Sully. I homesteaded 100 acres Of land.
Then took up timber claim of I20 acres
more"
''What is n timber claim?"
"Why, | hired a man, and we set out 10
acres of trees. This gave me l60 acres more.
So have 320 acres now. But ] must tell
you about those trees. They were young To-
Gust, apple and black walnut sprouts. sowed
a peck of locust beans, pint of apple seed,
and two bushels of black walnuts in our gar
den in Iowa year ago. These sprouts were
little fellows, and we could set them out fast
just go along and stick them in the ground.
But they were just good. | believe my
5000 little black walnut sprouts will be worth
sl5 apiece in 10 years, and $50 apiece in 10.
My locust trees will sometime fence in the
whole country"
Then what did you do?'
1--WE built shanty and broke up five acres
of land /; and this fall we came back TO Iowa
to spend the winter, and here we are. In the
| spring I'll go back with more black walnut
and locust sprouts and take up 100 acres
more. The trees are just what want to
plant, anyway, and they'll paw better than any
wheat crop that could be raised--only have
got to wait for them 10 or IL years but can
wait"
Here is a girl who owns in her own right
800 acres of splendid black prairie soil now,
and who will own $50 acres in the spring.
every acre Of which will bring s. within three
years and $40 within five years and $50 with

trees will be worth much more. At 80 she
will be worth s25, 00e-Cor. Chicago T,i-

The Gulf Stream aud Europe.

There was time within the human epoch,
says James Geikie in an article on '.The
Gulf Stream and the Panama Canal" when
the European climate was so genial that
many delicate southern species of plants
| fiourished luxuriantly in regions where they
cannot now exist. Thus in the neighborhood
of Paris, the fix tree, the laurel of the Canary
Islands, and other species found congenisl
habitat. The Canary Island laurel does not
grow further north now than near Toulon, on
the borders of the Mediterranean. 1t flowers
in winter, and repeated frosts would therefore
prevent its reproducing its kind. That this
plant formerly fourishcd near Paris is thus
striking proof ot changed climatic conditions
for the winters in Northern France must then
have been extremely genial. The land and
iresh-water shells which were coptempora-
neous with that remarkable fora in North
western Europe tell precisely the same tale,
and this is still further illustrated and con-
tirmsd bv the character of the mammalian
fauna. Among the commoner animals at
that time occupants of England, France, etc,
were hippopotami, elephants, rhinoceroses,
hons, tigers, hvenas, etc, and vast numbers
of cervne and bovine animals which still
occupy the temperate latitudes of Europe.
That such geaial climatic conditions were
due in large measure to great increase in
the volume of warm water flowing into the
North Atlantic seems Just as certain as that
the Arctic climate Of the Glacial Period was
largely induced by very considerable de.
crease or even an entire stoppage OF that
heat bearing current. The presence of many
Mediterranean shells in the ancient raised
beaches of Scandinavia, the occurrence of
mussel-hanks in the coast-lands of Spitz.
bergen, the appearance here and there of
the coasts of Scotland, the Faroes, and Ice
land, OF southern species of she'll fish, and
the presence of isolated colonies of southern
molluscs in the Gulf of st Lawrence. are all
indicative of n former much greater influx of
warm water into northern regions than is
now the case. Those remarkable colonies Of
southern species are living evidence of the
last epoch of extremely genial conditions ex.
perienced in Northwestern Europe --an epoch
during which great forest growths overspread
wide regions in the north, covering the
British Islands. the Inner and Outer Hebrides
the Orkney and the Shetland Islands, all
Norway up to the extreme north and most
extensive areas which to-day lie submerged
in the sea.
