Our Future.

When Governor Newell came 10
this Territory three years ago and
began t. look around and talk III So
norous plat:tude- about the enormous
natural wealth OF this great Pacific
Northwest. and the brilliant. grand
future just opening before it, many
people thought he was somewhat Wis
iouary. We We're Just then emerging
from q season Of comparatively hard
times. But the tide had turned. and
each succeeding year brings fresh
evidence that we have entered upon
long career Of unparalleled pros
perity. Public attention is being
turned toward Puget Sound with in
creasing interest: capital is being at
tracted here to develop our bound
less resources in iron, coal. fish, lime
stone. SSc.. while our numbering in
dustry, the most important of all,
has revived to an unexpected degree
of activity and prosperity, and ii is
being increased to proportions not
dreamed of heretofore. The pulse
of trade has quickenad, and the spir-
it of awakening and progress has
spread with the rapidity of contagion.
Even the old croakers who used to
slouch around and peacefully suck
their pipes, Indifferent to the increas
ing growth of mess upon their backs,
now step with an agility born of sym
pathy with the moving world around
them. Everybody must keep pace
with the onward march or become
conspicuous for being out of time
No one can speak too highly or en-
comagingly of our prospects now TO
fal of a hearty response from all
sides.
Port Townsend has not only start
ed to close the gap that separates her
from the leaders in the race for mu-
nicipal honors, but she bids fair to
round the next quarter stake in fair
position to distance every competitor
in the long run. West side railroad
prospects are looming up with Won
derful rapidity lately; our local man
ufacturing enterprises thlt were 50
slow in starting are now multiplying
with a rapidity that must be crafty
ing to everybody. Other towns have
had an advantage from coal mines;
but this advantage will not last long,
or all signs fail Experts who have
prospected Quimper peninsula thor
oughly say that it has large coal
deposit without doubt, but that the
veins are deep; coal groupings of an
excellent quality have been discov-
cred, and gentlemen interested in
the n. 2. r. r. Co. are bringing a
boring machine and will make athor-
ough test. The coal is evidently not
far from the head of Port Discovery
bay. 1t requires no prophetic eye
now to forecast our future. Events
that have transpired lately, and those
now brewing, all speak more elo
quently and forcibly than any words
that could be uttered. Sagacious
business men are investing in land
and getting ready to reap the adyan-
tages of the future

A Bonded Warehouse.

Discussing this subject, the Post
IAseltDeheer Says: t''During the
present month there have arrived
with consignmentS<of freight to this
city 4Seattle), two ships direct from
Ohiha-one, the Madras, steamship; !;
the other the Mercury, a sailing yes
sell The former brought consigned
to Chinese merchant here large
quantity of rice"
There is that in the above which
sounds big to stranger, and is in
keeping with tie kind of information
going abroad that leads people to di-
reetstheir letters to, Washington
Territory, near Seattle" Only yes
terday We corrected telegram
among the San Francisco associated
press dispatches, which spoke of
cargo of pig iron, "from near Seat
tle' being shipped foreign from San
Francisco to open up trade, A lit
tie better geographical knowledge
might have enabled the writer of the
telegram to have substituted the
words. Port Townsend for Seattle" !"
in the dispatch referred to, or, ''from
Irondale, on Port Townsend Bay"
But then, perhaps, it was thought
necessary to mention Seattle" that
the world might know what part of
the globe was meant We looked in
vain for a correction of the telegram
in the Seattle papers, but they were
doubtless actuated by the same hu-
name motive-toward benighted
public. It's nearly time for such
foohshness to be held up for inspec-
tion. Puget Sound papers have been
for years ridiculing those of Oregon
for claiming half of our products as
Oregon pine" and ''Oregon fir" the
same spirit is cropping out on a
smaller scale nearer home.
As to the Madras and Mercury,
Htlln VI luSIIl nave Dttll near OtdG-
tie, and neither is likely to be unless
the former takes load of coal from
there. The Madras discharged a
part of her cargo at Victoria, and
went from there to Portland. She
will return to Puget Sound, and it is
expected that the remaining portion
of her cargo will be discharged at
Port Townsend Her freight, all
that goes above here, We learn is
consigned to New Tacoma. The
Mercaryis is discharging some 10000
mats of rice and 1859 pkgs. of gen
eral merchandise at this port OF
this cargo, all that is for Seattle is a
consignment of 1000 mats of rice
for Wa Chong. The vessel is char
tered for New Tao )ma, and would
not go to Seattle if she could dis
charge elsewhere than here. These
vessels are discharging here because
New Tacoma is not a port of entry,

Gov. Newelrs Speech at Whatcom.

Northeast Enterprise.l
A large crowd assembled in front
of the Washington Hotel last Thurs
day evening to listen to the address
of Gov. Newell The opening re-
marks We're a description of What
com county The Governor said he
had Travelled extensively through
nearly all of Washington Territory,
but this was the first time he had Wis
tied Whatcom. He had reserved the
best till the last. Whatcom county,
extending one hundred miles from
east to west and fifty miles from
north to south, with its superior ag-
ricultural resources, its fine timber,
etc, had a splendid future before it.
The speaker next called attention
to the vast and wonderful country ly-
ing to the Alaska, with
its great forests of yellow cedar-the
most valuable timber in the world to-
day, save mahogany, and worth 500
per 1000 feet; its fisheries, which in
clude 700 miles of Goldfish banks. sal
mon in inexhaustible numbers and
whales in immense schools; the Yukon
river, the second largest in the world,
navigable for hundreds of miles; and
the great commerce. which in the
near future must OF necessity spring
up with this country of magnificent
resources. viii come to the Sound.
The great water ways of Wash
inSton Territory were touched upon
at some length. There was no eoun-
try in the world that had so many
miles OF navigable rivers. Few peo-
pie realized the value and magnitude
of these great water ways. The coal
fields and timber are thus brought
near to shipping points and coal could
be brought to an ocean steamer with
IN an hour after it came from the
mine. He contrasted this with the
coal fields of Pennsylvania, Illinois
and Indiana, which were situated
more than thousand miles inland.
As to the extent of coal in Wash
ington Territory, the speaker said he
had been told by competent author
ity that all OF western Washington
was simply one vast coal basin. A

A Paper Hill.

T-icforiH SfaRdardI
Some time ago we pointed out in
the columns of this paper the advan
tageous field presented by the Prov
ince for the establishment of a mill
for the manufacture of the coarser
descriptions of paper. Quite a large
quantity of paper is used in the Prov
ince for wrapping purposes. and the
demand is constantly on the increase
All the paper used is imported, while
at the same time the facilities pre-
sented by the Province for the man
ufacture of the article are such as
few countries possess. Not to men
ton wheaton straw, which is obtain
able everywhere where agriculture
is practised, the cottonwood. as it is
here called, is to be found in many
localities and often to be found in
close proximity to valuable water
power. The pressed and dried pulp
produced from cottonwood by appro-
pirate means and appliances is now
Il staple article of commerce, market
able III almost any country. Its use
has been resorted to in consequence
of the increasing scarcity of the va
rious substances formerly employed
in the manufacture of paper. Wood
pulp is the material out of which
most of the paper on which newspa
pers are printed is made. 1t is also
much used for wall paper The i'm
mense quantity of paper annually
consumed, for these two purposes
alone throughout the world will at
once suggest the almost limitless de
mand for this product. 1t is, there
fore, obvious that there need be no
fear of overstocking the market, OF
rather, that there could be no diff
Guilty in disposing Of all the dried
pulp that was not required to work
up into paper to supply the local de-
mand for the finished article. The
dried and pressed pulp could be
baled and exported to England OF
other countries. as is being done else
where, and would be sure of a ready
sale. The process by which the pulp
is made from the wood is simple and
does not require expensive or eIabo-
rate machinery. We learn that a
mill of this description is about to
be established in Washington Terri
tory, and believe there is Il good op-
portunity for starting one in this
Province also.
