SOUND.

Puget Sound is considered one of the
most remarkable bodies Of water in the
world. It is surrounded by continuous
forests that reach back to the SUBMITS of
the Cascade and Olympic ranges. The
streams that come down from the noun
tains on every side have fertile valleys;
some OF them are already occupied and
well cultivated. Puyallup and White
Rivers and their ailments are well set
tied, but there is abundant room for
settlers on the Snoqualmie, Snohomish,
Squak, Skagit and Nootsack, as well as
in a valley in Whatcom County, where
Fraser's River once flowed. 1t was once
believed that the land around the Sound
was worthless, and that the forests stood
on rock without soil, but time has
demonstrated that this is only true Of a
small extent of country near the Sound.
and that all the upland between the
streams, and extending to the noun
tains, is rich, deep soil that will produce
anything that will grow in that climate.

sOMs FIGURES.

As the argument against silver
COINAGE has been weakened until at the
present time the bursting Treasury vaults
stands most prominent, the investigation
OF a few figures may afford an oppor-
tunity to give the needed relief.
The Chicago Mining Review says: eff
the limited capacity OF the Treasury
vaults of the United States is the chief
reason for demanding a suspension of
silver coinage the fact that these Treas
urv vaults on the first day of February,
1888. contained S44, $50, co. more in gold
than in silver, it might be wise to dis
continue the coinage Of gold, as it seems
to be doing more Of the crowding than
silver.
According to the arguments OF those
who so s~trenuously oppose the use OF
silver. it would indicate that the people
do not want gold, and therefore its coin
age should be suspended by legislation
until the people make a demand for 1t
and relieve the crowded Treasures.
THE report OF the Director Of the
Mint shows that on Feb. l, 1888, there
was in the Treasury gold bullion amount
ing to s5I, 449, $50; silver bullion only
So, 76l, 95S; gold coin, Sl2l, 6 SAL; sill
yer dollars, S97, $50, 500; other silver out,
and that there were in circulation gold
certificates, S47, 669, $40; silver certih-
Gates, sos, ABS, $50.
These figures are perhaps as strong
arguments as could be used concerning
the question OF our metallic currency.
They prove at least the fallace OF the
chief statements that have been made
against silver, and show that in the face
Of opposition that would have ruined
any other currency silver is, and Will
continue to be, the peoples money.

talk of employing divers to go down in the
mine to search for the bodies. The coal
companies have received an offer from q

as it would probably delay the work Of
pumping, and might not be Of any service.
It is generally supposed that most Of the
bodies are half q mile from the opening in

it would be next to impossible for the
diver to reach them. a..

Finn, DAILY, Williams and Booth, were not
working the day Of the accident, as a
heavy snowstorm was raging and they re-
NAMED in their cabin. Without warning
a vast body Of snow, suddenly breaking
loose, swept down the mountain side,
carrying everything before it. The cabin
was completely demolished. and the in
mates were buried beneath the snow and
debris to a depth of several feet. Finn
was the only one recovered alive. He was

Reasons for Judge Davis Resigna-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-It is believed
that the statement Of Judge Davis that he
will resign the Office of President of the
Senate pro tem. atnoon next Saturday was
prompted by information iron President
Arthur that he does not intend to convene
the Senate in special session on the 5th Of
March. 1t is understood that the Demo-
cratic Senators will offer no opposition to
the prompt election OF t Republican Sena-
ator as pro tempore President. Anthony,
who filled the position from 1869 to 1873,
was the choice Of the Republicans caucus
in 1881, but will not be eligible TO election
to hold the place in the coming recess, as
his present term will expire with the legis-
lative day of March Sd, and he cannot be
sworn in again until the next meeting of
the Senate. Although no caucus action
has yet been taken on the subject, the in
dications are that Mr.. Edmunds will be
chosen President pro tenn, and that the
other officers will hold their positions
until December.

A Large Deficiency in the Public
Printers Accounts.

New YORK, Feb. 27.-A heavy defalca-
ton was discovered to-day. Gilbert L.
Crowell, President Of the Empire Mining
Company Of Summit County, Utah, is the
defaulter. The Office Of the company here
is 50 WSll street. Crowell in 1867 was
given the agency OF the Talman estate, the
owners being Mrs. Cornelia A. Atwell; her
sister, Miss Catherine c. Talman, and her
niece, Miss Caroline Talman. They con-
fided to Crowell's care their securities,
stocks and bonds, and gave him a power of
attorney to transact their business. In
1879 Crowell went into the Empire mining
scheme, and bought largely Of its stock.
The mine was a failure, and the assess
ments increased until finally Crowell alb
stracted S601 900 of the Talman trust
funds. Besides this amount he borrowed
from Mrs. Caroline Talman 10000. In
all, II the last three years, he has spent
S774,200. In addition to this. he owes
S4S6, 900. On the 18th instant he made an
assignment of his estate, which consists of
real estate, valued at S10T 900. m~ortgaged
almost to its full value, and 116, 600 shares
OF mining stocks. Crowell is sick in New
Jersey.

Cotton In Mexico.

The Merican Financier, in discuss
ing the proposed world section cen.
tennial exposition, intendingto be held
in some city of the United States in
1884, says that the project affords
Mexico an opportunity such as is sell
dom offered. 1t adds that there is
scarcely a State in the republic in
which there are not large tracts OF
land adopted to cotton culture, and
that Mexican cotton is known abroad
as being particularly fine in color and
of an extremely soft and silky fibre,
which renders it suitable for the fine
machinery. The Financier believes
that with ordinary effort Mexico, in
stead of importing her raw cotton, as
at predent, at enormous expense,
could readily become large exporter.
Native growers, it continues, should
show their confidence in this matter,
and should take immediate steps to
give practical demonstration of it's
feasibility. They should first help
themselves, and then it should be a
question of only short time when
foreign capital would be abundantly
offered to increase and facilitate the
production.
This and all other Mexican problems
will soon be solved by American rail
ways and American people penetrat-
ing every grand division of that coun'
try. Its present population are no.
toriously inert and weak physically
and mentally. They are too indolent
to undertake great works of internal
improvement or to even develop It's
natural agricultural riches.
No sooner was the railroad opened
recently from Laredo to Monterey
than drummers from Dallas dealers
in the latest improved farm machin-
cry appeared among the farmers OF
the intervening country with samples
in hand. They at first made slow
progress. Our horses are now ship
ping those heretofore Mexican scratch
ers of the ground sulky pillow, cultiva-
tors, reapers and binders by the car
load.
And it will not be long before
American farmers will invade that
slumbering land and inaugurate a
civil resolution greater than any polit-
ical one that ever happened there.
About the wealth in it's valleys and
mineral in it's mountains there are no
two opinions among men who have
been there.

Annihilating Space.

The statement is published here, as
coming from prominent railroad man,
that the Vanderbilt special train to San
Francisco will be run on a new fast
schedule and therefore next summer a
passenger express will run regularly from
New York to San Francisco, with re-
duction from the present time OF from
thirty to thirty-six hours. 1t is said
that Vanderbilt will give the matter a
close examination on the trip. Soon
after his return public announcement
of the running time will be made, show
ing a shortening of the time between
New York and Chicago of from thirty
three hours the present time to twenty
four, and from Chic ago to Omaha, by
the Northwestern road, of from twenty
two hours, the present time, to fifteen
hours. Between New York and Oma-
ha, from Omaha to Ogden, by the I'm
ion Pacific, the present running time
is ffty-four hours, and by the proposed
schedule time it will be reduced to for
ty.tvo hours, and from Ogden to San
Francisco, by the Central Pacific road,
the time will be reduced from twenty
nine to twenty four hours, making saw
ing of eightee hours from Omaha to San
Francisco, and total reduction of run
ming tine between New York and San
Francisco of thirty-four hours. Thus
the entire journey can be make in about
four and half days, instead OF SIX
days, ss now.

was born within sight of Stone Mount
ain, in Georgia, when the Indians
were thar same as they are on the
frontier now. See that SCARF"
The early settler took off his hat
and showed heavy scar running
from the top of his head almost to
his left eyebrow. "That thar is what
I got from an Indian tomahawk when
I was about 8 years old. My Oldest
brother was killed, and my father was
runnin' to hide in a cornfeld, with
me in his arms, when [ got that.
The old man had an ak in his hand,
and he split the redskins head clear to
the teeth. Not much civilization
bout them diggings, no, sir"
."Not much style about those early
Georgian pioneers, I recken?" said the
reporter.
"Style! Why, I was ~ years old
when 1 got my first pair of boots.
Don't I remember them yaller tops.
Folks in them parts mostly tanned
their own leather. They got me into
two fights. I had to fight with two
other boys the first day I put THEM on,
and I was the under dog in both fights.
The boys didn't approve OF style IN
them days. I was man crowned fore
ever saw an earthenware plate. We
had nothin' but pewter plates to eat
off, and wooden noggins to drink out
of; but, bless you, we never wanted
for somethin' to put in them. We
had lots of bar meat and cords OF
all sorts of game. No, we didn't
know nothin' of flour bread, corn
bread was the staple. Whisky! l
should say so! Most everybody made
their own, but if you want fixed to
make it yourself, you had only to
carry bushel of corn to neighbours
still, and come back with demijohn
of pure juice. When we had
corn shuckin', a log-rolling', a house
raisin', or any such frolic the whisky
Just sloshed round like water. We
only got coffee on Sundays, but we
had whisky all the time, and it was
whisky-not the adulterated pizen
they call that name now. You could
have got fuller'n goose on it, and it
wouldn't hurt YOU"
As the early settler said this, he
sighed, wiped his mouth on his shirt
sleeve, and shook his head in regret
full sort of a way indicating his be-
lief that those old days when whisky
actually "sloshed around" were gone.
