Wnatc0m County News.

reHke.l
The Samish Lake section of the county
is just now attracting the attention of
settlers. Several claims have been loca-
ted i'll that vicinity during the past few
weeks.
From reports that have recently been
received it is evident that the reported
cessation OF work on the Canadian Pacif-
ic railroad was canard, gotten up by
malicious individuals who had some
motive i'll view that from this distance
can not be definitely understood.
There are still III this county not less
than 100000 acres Of the finest timber,
fir, spruce and cedar, that ever grew.
the title TO which is yet in the govern
ment. The price of the land is 81 per
acre. The land is not sold in large tracts
"a man can avail himself of but one right
under the act, which entities him to 100
acres 1t requires about three months
to perfect title, and the real value of the
lard may be inferred when it is stated
that claimants have frequently realized
from SO to Sl5 per acre for the land i'm
mediateIy after having perfected their
proof.
Hon. &c. Horr, special agent of the
Treasury Department with headquarters
at Port Townsend, has been in the city
this week investigating the matter of the
Chinese invasion. He, likewise Mai.
Wasson, will recommend an increase of
the force at this place and along the
boundary line. Should the additional
force be granted, it Will probably devolve
upon Collector Bash to make some new
appointments, and it is sincerely hoped
that he will exercise proper judgment and
appoint only such persons rs will give
the matter their entire time and atten-
ton. No kid glove couuter-jumpers
should be appointed 1t should be some
one who is thoroughly acquainted with
the "iay of the land" and one who will
appreciate the Importance of the position,
and knowing his duty vii! have the cour-
age to perfoTmit

With Cur Exchanges.

Sales of a number of fine farms in the
Swinomish country are reported. Oliver
and Swan Poison sold their place to o.
c. Currier for $4,000, while Paul Poison
is said to have sold his farm for $4,000
TO Calvin AlversOn.
HEAVY LAND PURCHAsEs.-Mr. w. w.
Crapo, of New Bedford, Mass, has with
in few months past purchased 96,CO0
acres of timber lands in the Coos Bay
region of Oregon. The timber upon it,
by merely cuiling, Will easily average
10000 feet to the acre, and aggregate
$50, 100000 feet for the whole tract.
The President has so amendede civil
service rule No. s that it now distinctly
prohibits the appointing power alike in
every department. and in every post Office
and in the customs office from making
any discrimination in selections for ap-
pointment by reason of any political or
religious opinions or affiliations.
The Northern Pacific had in Wiscon-
sin, June 30th last, fourteen miles of
railroad, built at cost of S3j0,797.
The gross earnings of this piece of road
were S7027, and the expenses of itsopera-
ton $1S,96S there being a deficit of
S1l,9i0. The passenger rate there is
80 cents per mile.
Semiahmoo is pushing ahead with the
rest of the towns Oh the Sound. Two
stores, a Few hotel recently started by
Mr.. Roper, and a prosperous salmon
cannery turning out large quantities of
goods each year,are among the evidences
of Thrift at this place. As soon as trade
with British Columbia assumes any con
siderable proportions, the establishment
of a revenue office here Will become a
necessity.
General Carr is the first man who has
been elected thrice to the office of sec
retary of state in New York, but repeated
reflections for governor has not been
uncommon. George Clinton was elected
governor six times, Tompkins four times
and Marcy three. Those, however, were
the days when governorship was not
considered merely stepping stone to a
presidential candidacy.
\ gentleman recently from the coal
mines on the Skagit river informs us
that there are five men employed at the
mine. Supt. Horswill will be up from
san Francisco i'll abont month and will
at once put large force to work. He
will come prepared with all the necessary
materials and capital to insure the sue
cessful development of the mine. Great
results are anticipated from the recent
discovery of copper near the coal mine.

Value OF tho Sun llOWoP.

Professor Bergstrand, of the Royal
Agricultural Academy of Sweden, pub
fishes q most lauda'ory report on the
virtues OF sun1ower seed cake as food
for cattle. He states that it presents a
remarkable constancy Of composition
rarely If ever met with in other cakes
AZ met with in commerce. 1t contains
from 13 to IL per cent.sot fat, and 80 to
81 per cent. Of protein substances, and
has, therefore, nutritive value far
above that of most ordinary feeding
stutfs, besides which it has a most agre-
cable taste, and is altogether free from
bitter or any injurious matters. Some
careful experiments on its effects upon
milch cows have been made az the
Ultima Agricultural Institute by Baron
Akerhielm, which tend to show that it
both improves the quality aud increases
the quantity Of their milk, the butter
from which is also Of exceptional ex.
cellence. Many practical farmers in the
neighborhood have also made trial of
the same food, and are unanimous in
their favorite verdict. Their milch COWS
all look greedily to the cake from the
first day it was fed to them, and in all
cases an improvement in the quality OF
the milk was quickly noted. For
draugh' oxen and fatteuing bullocks
also it Is equally suitable, especially for
the latter, whose meat presents an un-
equalled richness of flavor when thus
fed, and it may be given in small
quantities to horses, with much advan.
lage, mixed in thick mash with
chat. In comparison with other feeding
stutfs this cake is very cheap, and it
can be given in larger quantities than
most other cakes, without any i'll effect.

1t Is reported that two more of The
prisoners in New Castle Jail have been
attacked with the small -pox, and it is
supposed that the disease was commn
nicated by Lawler the colored man, who
was removed from the building two OF
three weeks ago suffering with the
disease. Every effort was made to pre-.
vent the malady from spreadingas soon
as it was ascertained that Lawlcr had
it, and, after his removal, the cell &C.
cupied by him was thoroughly disin.
fected, and up to Christmas night when
these two cases made their appearance,
it was thought that there was no dan
ger.
The inmates of the Jail are worry
much alarmed, and the Sheriff scarcely
knows what action to take In the mat.
ter. If the men are allowed to remain
in the Jail there isa probability of the
dread disease spreading to the other
prisoners, and If they are removed, there
is no place to take them, AZ it is not at
all likely that the Board of Health will
permit them to be brought to this city.
The necessity of a smallpox hospital is
now painfully apparent.
