ROADS AGAIN.-A gentleman from
a remote portion of the county thinks
there ought to be about three ser
mons a week preached hereafter up
on the subject of roads, until the
county authorities can be induced to
adopt policy liberal enough to ef-
feet the opening of suitable highways
through every considerable body of
agricultural land in the county
This paper has always favored a lib
eral policy in regard to roads, and
we have frequently referred to the
matter in urgent terms heretofore.
1t is an injustice to the pioneer set
tiers to allow them to bear such
heavy burdens in opening the coun-
try up to civihzation-to say nothing
Of the unwise policy of thus retarding
immigration and settlement in those
localities. Quilcine, Docaboos, LIE
land and other remote settlem ents
ought to do their trading here, and
be in reality what they are only in
name part Of Jefferson county; but
there are few and poor roads across
the country, and hence they trade
largely elsewhere.

The State Elections.

:. F. CHr0nicie.l
The late elections III Ohio and Iowa
have disappointed most of the poll
tlclans outside the States chiefly in
terested. The war Of Democratic
factions in the first, it was thought
would give the victory to the Repub-
licans without taking into considera-
ton other influences at work, each of
which seemed to have some compen
satlon that would equalize its effects.
There was no means of Judging the
result in Iowa, the condition being
without precedent. Prohibition was
the only potential issue. This had
nearly all the German ele-
ment, which is powerful in the towns
and villages, and rural districts,

EDIroRs RGUs:-When the Queen
OF the Pacific ran on the spit in the
Columbia river, several tons of all
kinds of merchandise and whisky was
thrown overload. The Indians have
had rich time getting ocean pot
latch"-clothing of all kinds, boots
and shoes, Wheeler &-Wilson sewing
machines, iewelry, bed room sets, one
large looking glass twelve feet long.
willow chairs, cane bottom chairs,
alcohol, paint. oil, lard, butter, honey.
kerosene, China nut-oil, seal skin
cloaks, lace, sea otter, trimming, all
kinds of toys, soap, and most every
thing that floats, and many things
that would not float unless boxed.
Many Indians are now merchants and
some of them are in the wholesale
business. All the articles were more
or less darnagrd except the whisky.
They got very rich in a short time.

Street Grading.

One of our citizens rises with a few
pertinent questions about public works,
as follows:
EDITORS ARGUS: VIII you ask why
has not Water street from Madison to
the breakwater been graded? There is
no street in Port Townsend more used
and of more Importance than that down
to the saw mill; and yet for two or three
wears we have been asking to have it
graded and as yet have been unable to
get it done. Other streets of less i'm
portance can be fixed, but this one is
neglected. Why is this: Will the
Street Commissioner please explain?

A gentleman recently from Cali
MIA expresses surprise at the produc-
tiveness. of Washington Territory
soil. He was told about Dungeness
dairy farm that would amply support
q cow to each acre and have margin
left. He said where he came from
they talked about land, four, five, or
six acres of which would be required
to support COW. He will find be
fore living here long that the Dun
geness land he thinks so remarkable
is not considered unusually fertile
by any means. OF course we have
plenty of poor land in the Territory,
but exceedingly rich soil is not by
any means scarce.

That the Chinese are coming into the

not to lie doubted Every week half-a-
dozen or more come by that route that
is, those who are known to come. while
many more probably come Of whom less
is known. On the Washington last Fri
day four came who there was abundant
reason for believing were straight from
New Westminster. The fellows were
afraid to land at first, and hid on arrival
of the boat, TO prevent discovery. They
afterwards slipped mp town, and now. as

Election news from the Fast Is to
the effect that the democrats have
achieved signal victory in Ohio, and
in Iowa the republicans have tri-
umphed-majorities being about u,
900 in the former state and 10000 in
the latter Prohibition was the lead
ing issue in Iowa, and high license
in Ohio. In both states the demo
srats espoused the cause of whisky.
Both states were hotly contested. In
Ohio, especially, there was a fierce
contest, and the result knocks John
Sherman's presidential chances high
er than Gilderoy's storied kite.
Somehow there Is something awfully

THE BEE. while keen after the news,
ID sometimes opsn to the seductive in.
cense of the fragrant Havana, but TO
ask the suppression of an item with
out the reporters invariablo per.

BEE published, after the custom,
notice of issuance of license to the
parties mentioned. And now, still
further unkinking this snarl of Imys-
terry, our reporter found o real, live
modern man Herewith connected.
Miss CArrothers and o girl friend
were sent here to the Con-
vent school last fall. Katie's
fathers indeed, seems not to
have lacked knowledge that his daugh-
ter's mind was more of q certain
masculine form than French or phil
osophy, and thst Cicero's burning
Latin perivels were far less eloquent
to her than the manly Apglo.Ssxon
of our friend Cooper. Notwlthstsnd.
Ing thin Mr.. Carrothers determined
that Katie should esohew matrimony
and attend strictly to study.
As q matter of course the old drama
was re-enacsed. Katie and her girl
friend escaped from school and staid
with q friend here in town some days,
MIR. Oarrothers came on-and, go did
Mr.. Cooper. 1t Was in vain that the
father eyhorted end coerced, telling
Kate che might take the dread matri-
mqnial plunge after che had taken the
prescribed courac preparatory thereto
at the convent. The girls heart waS
fixed. Depouent saith not concern
ing, but 1t Ia "a fair surmise
that at this crisis MIR. Cooper
made some amatory observa-
tionr. Perhaps he whispered to her
In the language of a poet Of his own
state:
"If you love me rs / do you,
There's naught our love % sever
1t may be like Romeo he pressed
her hand-who shall deny even hel
ips!-but whatever it was shat settled
It," Restless, impatient love con
quered. Saturday at Avoca Mis-
Carothers left the dreamy land O
