Territory Manufacturer.

washington Territory has not done
much as yet in manufacturing, except
lumber and flour, but it stands ahead
of the following territories in capital
invested and in value of productions:
Arizona, Dakota, Idaho, Montana,
Wyoming and Utah. The latter is
the only territory which comes any
where near Washington, the relative
figures being: Capital invested, Utah,
$3.50, 463; Washington Territory, S2,-
S40,51l. In value of manufactures
produced there is still greater differ
ence. Utah, in 1850, S4,2l7, 434; WASH
ington Territory, So, ,l29, 1872. There
are three times as many manufacture
ing establishments in Utah as in
Washington, and five people en-
ployed in manufacturing TO two in
Washington Territory. Utah, says
the San Francisco Merchant, has made
the most rapid strides during the past
twenty years, having brought up the
business in that time from a capital
of S443,355 and production of $780,
253 to the figures given above. The
increase in Washington has been far
less rapid, as in 1860 there was 81 $780,
200 capital invested and S1,406, ,29l Of
manufactures produced. There are
some other points worthy of notice.
An employee in u Utah factory pro-
duces only about $1,000 year, while
each person so employed in Washina-
ttptfs Territory preduces $1,000 year
Again, the capital invested in Utah in
1880 was only $1,000 less than in
Washington Territory, but while the
former produced only S4,2l7, ,434, the
latter produced So, l29, ,762. All this
seems to indicate that though wages
are much higher in Washington Tea
ritory than Utah, manufacturingshf4
been proportionately more eproddctlt6
and probably more profitable. The
outlook for manufacturing on eur
northern coast is decidedly encourag-
ing, and prudent enterprises should be
encouraged by every legitimate means
by the people and the press.

Oregon she~s Line.

The Wood River News says the Ore.
gon short line Is jogging along nicely,
even during the winter months. Three
hundred men are now employed ON
the bridge at American Falls, and on
the grade east or south of there. One
abutment Of the huge bridge Is ready
for the stringers, and three Of the piers
are well started. The grade will be
ready for ties by Feb. Let on the east
side Of Snake river, and Il IL said that
grading on the north side will be COM
menoed Immediately.
In touching upon this subject, the
Baker City Rcvcstie says: 1tis settled
definitely that this road will run intn
the famous Wood River mining coun-
try, and 1t IL supposed that It will also
run through or near Boise. IL 10 said
to be positively settled upon that II
will 20 to both Portland and Puget
Sound, though the route In either case
- not yet located. Going to Puget
Sound 10 y vague expression, ~ the
Sound has two sides and 10 over =
hundred miles long. II the road crosses
the Cascade mountains within WASH
ington Territory It will be pretty cer-
tain to terminate In Seattle.
The assurance Of this roads compile
ti0n has largely increased the land
entries in the We,ser district. In the
neighborhood u Welser City nearly
ail land has been taken up, but there
IL an abundance Of land in other local
tiles for all who want a homestead.

Recently parties hunting on the
desert west of the Bear creek buttes,
says the Prineville NeWs, found a nat
ural curiosity In the shape of what
might be called miniature air vol
cano. 1t is situated on a small hill or
knoll, and from crevices in the rocks
the air rushes out with considerable
noise which can lie heard for some
distance around. The air is exceed
ingly cold, and must come from some
cavern underneath, having an open
ing far away from the point where it
issues forth. 1t is indeed strange
feature of that very strange country.

GRAND Total

tOf all this vast quantity of coal 49,
tom and Talbot, and all the remainder
--1g7, ,685 tOns-from the Sehttle Com
pany's mine at Newcastle.
I'VE have reason to believd that this
&Dhl traffic will 20 on increaAing year
bf year in the future indeflnheiy. In
tins fKing) county are tire most~ex-
tettrivs and beHt. coal deposits on the
r6HitlE 0oast, from which millions of
tonA per Annum can be mined for CELL
turtles to come.
To approximatelye estimate the ship-
ments for 1882 we have only to look at
the prefaraii ions already made--tp say
nothing Of those .making-by the com
.pany in whose hands these great in
terests are mainly placed. They have
four steam colliers in the service.
These vessels:lightly loaded, carry $3.50
tons In the aggregate per trip, and
they can easily make twenty trips
each per aunum. Their cargoes alone
will foot up 175,O00 tons. In addition
may be included the probable shin
inents OF the Renton Company, $4,000
tons. The two companies may reason
ably be expected TO place on board
ship in 1882, 10000 tons of coal.
Other concerns have extensive coal
interests In this county and no less
than four sections OF railroad, tapping
more or less veins, are said to be In
early contemplation. Several more
steam GOLFERS are building and 1t will
not be surprising II the large exports
predicted for 1882 are doubled ia 1888.

The Seattle Coal Trade.

The Post -lntelkigencer Of Jan. 1st,
contained an article on the coal trade
of Seattle from which we make the
following extracts:
The coal trade of the past year has
been eminently satisfactory. 1t has
been quite steady, with no violent
fluctuations from month I'd month as
in past years. The exports considera-
bly, exceed those of any precious year,
and go far towards estahliehing the
excellent character of the product of
our mines in the only considerable
market of the coast. The total eX-
ports for the year 1881 amounted to
l47, ,418 tons. :.
The output of the mines in this vi
cinity cannot he exactly stated, but it
must have been in the neighborhood
of 100000 tons last year; the twelve
Thousand and over tons not shipped
being sold to steamers at the d0cks,
used OH the road and in the supply of
Seattle, Newcastle, and other places,
300 tons going in one shipment to
Walla Walla alone.
The coal trade of Seattle has now
enjoyed an existence of elevfn years,
and in that time has attailIef1f en0r-
nous proportions. Going h to the
beginning, and enumeratfS aS Years,
we find it to have amOufqed In the
matter of direct exports alone to the
sum total Indicated In the 'hgures fol-

A prominent naval ofzicsr, now IN
Europe on y tour OF observation,
writes to the Secretary OF the Navy as
follows: II hnd that other pervices
are as dissatisfied AS our own with the
present condition of ships and guns.
The very great advance made in the
last two years In experimental ord
nance has left the navies Of England
and France, as well as OF the smaller
powers, with ships penetrab'e with
ease by the modern guns, aud like
ourselves, without the guns, since
very few, aud those only experiment
tai, have yet been made. England
owned but one ship armed with re-
cent ordnance, and her effective iron
clad feet has dwindled to half = dozen
ships only which could not be pene-
trated by pieces Of moderate csllibr6
cafrisd 81 unarusoFsd shlps."

all interested. All those entering for
examination were at the close found
worthy to receive certificates, as fol-
lows: Miss Spear, Miss Darling, Miss
Godfrey, Miss Colburn, Miss Clifford
Miss Chamberlin, Miss Ladd and Miss
Alexander. 1t is query with the
Superintendent why it is that the inhab-
itants take so little interest in the pub
lie examination of teachers and are so
negligent about keeping their school
rooms comfortable for both teachers
and scholars, and that even the house
in which the public examination was
held, is wholly unfit tor school pur-
poses. Let the people wake up about
these matters and there will be a revo-
luton in our schools.
