ANACORTES, APRIL 2s, 1882.

People are like the country they
1--we in. Iii is always interesting to
observe the natural Surroundings
lnder which separate communities
have developed those Municipalities
for which young men matured un>
der their influence have become
distinguished. First the soul Of
nature breathes into the spirit Of
the idle busy boy at play fancies
fit for the career to which he is
predestined. Our men and boys,
matrons and girls are living their
lives Of daily routine, unconscious
of the fact that they are busily like
the ants, gathering grains of great
ness. Let it never be forgotten
that rural life, where we are SO
intimately associated with nature
and its God, possesses the one great
draw back of inferior education, and
ignorance Of the action of the out
side world. We can read our
American histories, local and gen.
eral, and trace the influence Of the
natural surroundings which meta
morphosed our polished European
ancestors first into American "bush
whackers," then through an unedu>
Gated generation or two Of over
powered, humble, and rather ignor-
ant farming life, to better state of
culture, where the mind once more
obtained the mastery over nature.
Hence yankee by land and sea; and
all our varieties of cracker and
hoosier, from Main to Texas, ending
with the Oregonian on his cayuse,
and the Washingtonian in his
canoe and saddle. With the
growth Of the idle boy to maturity
of our educational facilities, news
papers and industrial establish
ments--and the gathering and group.
ing together into a characteristic
society Of kindred cultured people,
we shall begin to outline some>
thing Of the nature of our destiny.
Of one thing all should feel assur.
ed; the humblest beginnings are
never to be despised, if the metal is
