Il is interesting to note the despers

from nothing the way mushrooms are
constructed. We read that capitalists
have found creek with q few falls
absut twelve miles trom Vancouver, and
have started manufacturing city,
having purchased all the land in the
vicinity. This means that the afcre-
said capitalists want TO make . spec. on
their property. The manufacturing

The arrival a: Whatcom the other
day of the steamship Wilmington,
from San Francisco. created q con-
siderable sensation among the citi-
zens Of that latterly booming burg,
as is indicated by the following in
reference thereto from the Reveille !:
The arrival Of the Wilmington
marks an important era in the his
tory OF WhatcOm, and in the minds
OF the old settlers revives recollec-
tons OF the stirring times during the
gold excitement Of 1858. The Will
mington has the proud distinction of
being the first ocean steamship, car
rying freight and passengers, to come
to Bellingham bay since 1858. To
see her steaming into the bay
Wednesday, direct from the straits,
via Bellingham channel, was right
truly gratifying to the people of
Whatcom. New Whatcom, Belling.
ham and Fairhaven, for the reason
that 1t marks new beginning in the
development that is taking place al
this end of the Sound. And how
different from the temporary boom
that prevailed here for few short
months in 1858. The boom then WIS
based upon the gold discoveries in
the mountains forty or fifty miles
from Whatcom. Now the boom is
based upon the agricultural. timber,
coal and iron resources of the coun-
ty, and means the permanen: and
lasting prosperity of Whatcom coun-
ty. The Wilmington is here and will
come again. So also will other deep
water vessels, and the day is not far
distant-two years at the most
when the arrival and departure of
ocean steamships and sailing vessels
will be q matter Of daily record. ex-
citing no more interest than does the
arrival of the Sound steamers at this
time. The fame of Bellingham bay
has gone abroad, and the Doom will
have reached its zenith only when
the "best harbor in the world" is
covered with the white sails of ship
ping.
