The latest new device in Chicago
is q Mngle-wheel buggy. A COM
pany of capitalists has been organ
lied to manufacture and put it on
the market. The invention consists
of wheel attached to- a horse by
means of a pair Of buggy shafts, and
which carries at the other end a
buggy seat. The inventor claims
that by means Of his new contriv-
ance absolute safety in driving is
secured, as the wheel can only tip
or turn over in case the horse does
the same thing. Besides, no claims
that his new vehicle can get any>
where o horse can get, and that the
horse will be able to make greater
speed in this contrivance than in
any sulky of the old pattern.

Indicating the amount for which the

if a note for $3.50 is wanted, the
figures 3 in tho dollar column, in
the dimes column and 3 in the cents
column will be punched out. All

be made in addition to the face value

possessed by the postal notes over

Gov. Newell, in his speech at
Whatcom, spoke of the fine timber,
the inexhaustible coal fields, the
splendid soil and other resources of
the Territory. He said that if a
route for railroad could be made
ten miles instead of twelve, other
things being equal, the short route
would be the ono chosen. What.
com, Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia
would be large cities, but the great
est city would be at she entrance to
the Straits. This was the main
point in the speech-a point that the
audience seemed either unwilling or
unable to perceive. The inference
to be drawn from this statement is
that Anacortes was the place the
speaker msant. To our esteem ed
contemporary, the Reveille, we
would say, in the language of the
Governor: "Put that in your pipe
and smoke it,"

The NORTHWEST ENTERPRIsE for 1888
will try to keep up with the country IN
the march OF progi ess, furnishing its read
ers with every item OF interest to the Sec
ton of country in which it is published,
and making an honest endeayor to merit
the good will and patronage of the peo-
pie. The ENTERPRISE commenced its
career under cloud of adverse circums
stances, and has struggled on Gas has the
settler upon homestead claim) to comply
with the demands OF the public, and
make " final proof that it has been and
is faithful exponent of the interests OF
the people whom it has striven to serve.
The ENTERPRISE will, in the future rs
in the past, work tor the advancement OF
the varied interests Of Nhatcom and San
Juan Counties, and will do any and all
things within its power to aid in the de-
yelopment Of the lower Sound country.
II is the intention of this paper to estab-
lish competent corps of correspondents
in all the towns OF Wbatcom and San
Juan Counties, in order that 1t may be a
faithful chroniclrr of the events, improve
ments and wants of each and every local.
ity within the two counties named.
The first volume of the ENTERPRIsE
closed with the number of the date OF
March II, and on March "a was is
sued the first number OF the second vol
ume.
The paper has no reason to complain
of the liberal support it has received IN
the way of subscriptions, and will endeav
or to- merit continuance and an increase
OF the same during the ensuing year.
Attention is called to the ENTERrRIsE
premium map OF the "Fuca Metliterra-
mean" or Puget Sound. 1t is 42x36
inches in size, and is the best outline map
ever published oil the Puget Sound basin.
and the only one that gives the waters OF
British Columbia in connection with those
of Washington Territory. This map is
given with the paper for one year for So,
and is we'll worth the money alone.
The paper has good general circula-
ton over Whatcom and San Juan COur :

Those who advertise in the ENTERPRISE
get full value for the money invested.
The rates are liberal, to be had upon ap-
plication at the Office or by mail.

Recent statistics based on the
census show that in Milwaukee,
where more Leer is made and drank
than in any other city of equal size
in the world, there are twice as
many suicides az in any other mu-
inequality OF the same population.
This induces one of the leading Ger
man papers of the west TO admit
that in all lie cities of the country
the Germans are, in proportion to
their numbers, twice as we'll repre-
sented among tho suicides as any
other p, OF lie, and the excessive use
of beer is assigned as the cause
"There is no doubt" says the jour-
nal referred to, "that the moderate
use of beer brightens up and cheers
men, but there is also no doubt that
too much beer stupefes and demon
alizes the drinker, and, if its use is
persisted in, make him melancholy
and weak. minded. 1t is apt 20 re-
suit in certain attacks OF meisu>
cholia, which comes upon the beer
topper, and in which he bewails him>
self and his fate, pities himself as
wretched being, and finally lets his
heavy head and weeping eyes sink
languidly on the table" The same
authority, however, considers beer
a beverage of exceeding virtue when
compared with spirituous l7quors,
which, it contends, transforms u
man into blood-thirsty wild beast
and vi0lator of the laws"

PUBLICATION OF LAND NOTICES.
The Whatcom Eevellie has been
designated by Register Convey as
the paper in which to publish all
land office notices for the northern
half of WbatcOm county, commences
ing at and including Township 81,
on the Chuckanut range Of mounts
aims, and embracing the country
north and east Of that line; while
the Mail continues as the advertise
ing medium of the country south of
that line to and including township
81 Of Snohomish county, the latter
tier of townships comprising the
s Ihg0amIsh district, having re-
Gently been assigned TO the Mail, on
the score Of being nearer th1t town
ship than the Sronomish Eye
Puget Sound Mail.
From the above item it appears
that Mr.. John F. Convey, Register
of the land office at Olympia, has
made a subdivision of the land office
notices contrary to the interests and
rights of the ENrEEpRIsE, and also
contrary TO the law, which requires
that all such notices shall be adver-
tised IN the newspaper published
nearest to the land. Here are the
exact words of the law: "The Reg
q lister of the land office shall furnish
the applicant a copy [of the notice]
tor publication in newspaper pubs
lished nearest the location of the
premises"
In a recent copy Of the Puget
Sound Mail, published at Laconner,
20 timber notices were published Of
hand lying in Townships 35 and So
north, which are nearer to the En-
TERPRIsE Office than to tho Mail.
The titles to all these lands are ille~
gally acquired, and persons holding
them will be subjected to trouble
and expense in acquiring them in
this manner. To the official at
Olympia, who perpetrates this gross
violation of the land laws, and SUBJ
jects people to unnecessary expense,
as we'll as imperiling the titles to
their lands, this matter may yet cost
him his official head.
