The Port Townsend ARGUS comes out
strongly in favor of putting up good
school building at the port of entry.
There are a few men of means in that
city who would themselves think but lit
tie OF building even an academy ii called
upon sooner than see the children Of
their city II ming wild for nine months
il the year Tor want of proper school fa-
clities. Unfortunately the contrary is
the case here, our MuldooaS seeming to
take delight only in pulling down edu-
cational establishments and putting the
proceeds in their already OveriiOwing
pockets. COHHer
AN exchange very truthfully and
forcibly says: "A man who says he is
not able to pay for paper ought to
90 at once to the county court and
have his wife appointed his guardian.
Remember that II newspaper is worth
more to family than three months
school. a family that takes a paper
lives, as it were in Il house set upon
hill, from whose windows he can see
all that is going on in the world. My
friend, don't say you are not able to
pay for your paper. Say You don't
like the paper, or say you would
rather live in ignorance; declare that
you do not want your children to
learn anything, but don't say you
can't pay because to say you can't
pay is to say you are no man, have no
backbone, and ought to b. in the
poor-house."

dispatch from Walla Walla announces
that Notwithstanding the job in Walla
Walla TO hold primaries before Nutrients

the primaries four to one" This would
indicate thlt the people east of the noun
talns are strongly i'll favor of returning
the present delegate, and from private
advices from Pierce, Lewis, Cowlitz,
Clarke, Wahkiakum, Pacific and Chehalis
counties, we learn that Brents has many
followers i'll those counties, who will do
what they can to send delegates to Van
couyer pledged to him. From this out
look the denomination of Thomas ii.
Brents appears almost a forcgOne con
