so long, they seem part and par
eel Of Puget Sound. They also
appear to appreciate the fact that
the prosperity of the people and
country, means there prosperity,
and believe they will be inclined
to divide fairly. The strategm dis
played by the new commander and
his subordinates, indicate that they
realize the situation, and are equal
to the emergency, and all we out
siders have to do is to hold our hats,
look on, and witness one Of the
grandest railroad fights that has
ever taken place on this continent.

back for considerable distance and
forming what will some day be
many valuable farms. East Sound
the larger of the two, is the most
thickly settled. Fruit of a very
superior quality is raised in abun-
dance. All grains are successfully
raised, but as yet only on limited
scale. AS soon Us their cOmmuni-
cation with the outside world is
perfected, and steamboats, can run
from there to Victoria, thus sup
plying permanent market for the
consumption of all produce raised,
more settlers will be induced to
locate, and the farmers now holding
claims will be encouraged into
clearing and cultivating moro ex-
tensivcly. Manufacturers will turn
their faces in that direction, while
many other home enterprises will
spring up and combine to make
them what the islands of the Med
iterranean are to Europc-sources
Of wealth, pleasure and beauty.

RAILROAD STRATEGY.
EDIToRs ENTERPRIsE:-


The strategic movements of a
great railroad company in the loca>
tion OF their lines, and the scizing
of strategic points for business and
terminal purposes, and the guard
ing against the possible encroach-
ment Of rival roads, are so like the
strategy employed by great Gcn>
eral in command Of an army in the
field, that 1 find myself fully as
much interested in watching the
movements of the Northern Pacific
r. r., out here on Puget Sound, as
l used to be watching Old Stragety
(Gen. Sherman) himself on the
Southern battle fields during our
late war. Having acquired taste
for such things, l promise myself
much that will be interesting dur>
ing the next few years, observing
the maneuvers of rival roads that
are bound to have an ending on the
Sound. The Northern Pacific are
here first, and although they have
no enemies in the field to oppose
them this side of tho British line,
they doubtless expec. them. and
are using every means in their
power to 'hold the fort" Indeed
late developments would indicate
that they, with the aid of their
auxiliary companies. intend to
march right on down the Sound,
from Tacoma to Bellingham Bay,
and possibly OH to the British line,
seizlng and fortitiying all the inn
portant points on the way, and in>
tend to establish in time, two lines
across the Cascades. If they do
that, they can fight it out on those
lines, for we would defy Gen. Sher-
man himself to flank them out, Gas
the boys used to say with all his
experience on sold 10. Johnson.
The move would also create new
interest in the stirring events that
are taking place on the Sound, in
the addition of three or four more
aspirants for tho honor of becom-
ing tho big city of the northwest
coast. In this contest the longest
pole takes the parsimon. In other
words, tho place having the best
natural advantages, with the
shortest line east, would; become
the metropolis. The others would
be Oaklands, Brooklyns, etc.
Whatever else the Northern Pacific
may do, they will no doubt keep
the Straits and Skaget Pass we'll
guarded, for an enemy approaching
from that direction, could hurt them
more than from any other. Our
sympathies are with the Northern
Pacific, for they have been with us

The new station Of the Signal Station
on Pixies Peak is to be OF stone, forfy-
four by twenty mine feet in size. 1t will
contain an office. reception room, dining
room, kitchen and two bedrooms. The
work of construction will not be easy. for
everything which goes into the building,
except the stone, must he ''packed" up the

THE wear and tear Of life comes chiefly
from straining after the impossible.
Nervous excitement, alternating hopes
aud disappointments, unavailing strug-
rles. feverish anxieties, bitter failures
these are the worst enemies of health
and happiness, the most fatal destroyers
Of peace and prosperity. They como
for the most part from taking up need
less burdens.

There is no pace in Washington
territory so little known to the outs
side community as that of the is
lands of the archipelago de Haro,
and no section on Puget Sound
presents so attractive field for the
capitalist, the farmer, the tourist
and the sportsman as these beauti>
tiful islands. The day is not far
distant when towns and villages
will spring up in the place Of the
Indian huts, and the people beast

Importance is not equalled by any
other portion of tho Sound. The
islands of San Juan, Orcas, Lopez,
Shaw, Blakely, and a number of
others, go to make up San Juan
county, with the three former for
size and comprising the most popu :.
lation. San Juan The most sOuther-
~ island OF the group, faces the

Splden, .Shaw and Orcas on the
north; being the largest of the
three islands, and comprising the
most good agricultural land, II nun.

industries, is considered to bc the
most important ut present.

land locked retreat of safety for
vessels Of all sizes. Here is whore
the English fist landed, dating far
back before any settlement had
been thought of, and the hal Dor
bears the maine of an English caps
tain engaged at that time in max
ing u survey OF the coast. And
here is whore, some eight or ten
years ago, Robert and Richard
Scurr, having an eye TO business,
came and settled. About two years
ago Messrs. Scurr began making
preparations for erecting lime
kiln, knowing as they did that an
abundance Of limestone was to be
had within easy distance; and last
spring having completed their kiln,
they started to burning lime on a
small scale. Finding business far
better than they anticipated, owing
no doubt to the superior quality Of
lime turned out, they will shortly IN
crease their capacity by adding am
other kiln, capable of turning out
75 barrels per day, in connection
with the one they now have in
operation. Their limestone ledge
covers an area of about 30 acres,
and has an average depth Of 100
feet. Altogether they own some
700 acres, portion of which is fair
agricultural land and nearly all is
covered by heavy growth of tim
bcr Sixteen men arc employed in
various capacities about the kiln.
Iftho port Of entry is established
ut this place, no doubt a lively little
town will grow up here.

covered by a light growth Of timber.
The soil is generally good so we are
told by those engaged in farming.
A number OF settlers have come
here and sqaatted and are making
considerable headway toward max
ing fine farms. Diverging some-
what from our course we turn
abruptly to the right. and after
walking for several miles over a
rough trail come to McCurdy's
limckiln on the south side of San
Juan. About 20 men are employed
McCurdy Informed us that he
would enlarge his burning capacity
to about 200 barrels per day The
exposed condition of tho wharf at
this place is such that it is extreme
ly difficult for vessels to land at
times. Several miles cast Of this
kiln, a large, broad valley opens out
and stretches away to the eastern
exit entity, some fifteen miles, where
the land gently slopes to the water
Fine farms can be seen in travelling
through the center of the island
farms that resemble some of the
older settled farming districts of the
eastern states, with their handsome
residences, barns, and large cults
waited fields Of growing grain. As
the tide Of immigration begins to
turn in this direction, numerous
farms will bc opened up and the
island will be made one Of our most
prosperous agricultural sections.
Friday Harbor Is situated on the
north side Of the island, overlook>
ing Shaw's. "A fine harbor, securely
sheltered from all prevailing winds,
and the surrounding shore covered
by Il heavy growth of timber. In
IL little cleared spot is the town,

west is the Eureka linz ekiln, owned
by McLachlan Bros. Il Lee. They
employ twelve to fourteen men, and
make about so barrels of lime daily.
LOPEZ ISLAND,
lying TO the east OF San Juan, is
not SO far advanced in settlement.
The southern portion, facing the
Strait, presents bold rocky ap-
pearance, but toward the center and
on the north and west many fine
valleys and plateaus can be seen,
scme OF which are under high
state OF cultivation by their ener-
getic owners. The soil here, as on
San Juan, is generally rich in pro,
ductiveness, raising spontaneously
grain, vegetable and fruit. Water
is plentiful on this island, as is the
case on all the others; many large
springs flowing the year round.
Sheep raising is quite extensively
carried ON. Many thousand pounds
Of wool are annually shipped away,
and great deal OF mutton, pork,
beef and poultry finds it's way into
the market ut Victoria, the product
Of this and adjoining islands.

has the same general characteristics
as Lopez, comprising about the

To-day a merchant informed mo

Bishop Mcnamara, Of the New
York Irish Catholic church, is still
banging away at the Church Of Rome.
He says there are one hundred ex.
Roman Catholic priests preaching bis
doctrine in New York to over 100, 0OC
Irishmen as communicates. He seems
determined to see the Irish church in
America on as firm a basis as it was il
Ireland before the grasping hand Of
Rome wheeled it out of its own iden,
tity. The bishop is very sincere in
his acts, and the prospect is hatterinc
for a large Irish church in Chicago al
no distant day. So far the Catholic
churches Of Chicago have not alluded
to the bishop from the pulpit. 1t is
likely they do not desire a controversy
with him. NAYR.

so unblushingly artificial. Everybody
here is saturated with art, and a pop

women perform fetish. He is yer,

sometimes he is quite aware Of the
fact himself, and takes a cynical
pleasure in the rapture of his votaries,
This kind is always prosperous. and
his studio and house are works Of arl
In themselves. He dresses in the
most eccentric fashion and models his
manner after his garb. To day le
was enVeloped to his ankles in a gray
tweed overcoat, his collar was opened
slightly at the throat, and bound to-.

scarlet ribbon. A tiny scull can Of
deep ruby velvet rested on the crown
Of his head, and his expression was
humorous, with a tincture of gloom as
ne gazed upon one of the votaries.

and paucity Of antique art in the
