More stations for shi. Csa.,.

San FsAscIsCo, Aug. 5.-Major T. j.
blakeney, superintendent of the life
saving service of the Pacific, returned
recently from a tour of inspection of
northern stations. The examination
included the station of Shoalvater bay
not included in the previous visit. In
portant additions are contemplated in
stations on the Oregon and Washing
ton Territory coast, and sugRsstions
relative to them are at present pending
before the Department at Washington,
20 which be expects an answer in a short
time. Captain White, assistant in
spector OF the service, arrived from the
East few days ago, and shortly after
sailed Tor the north, and will probably
visit stations in that section.

the QCILEUrE REGION.
Port Townsend Arcus.


The largest tract of wild and IN
known land in tie United States lies
west of the Olympic range of noun
tains. 1t is from 20 to 60 miles wide
and 100 miles long. II extends from
Cape Flattery on the north to Gray's
HarbJr on the south. The native for
timber Ia the United States. Fir is the
leading variety. and spruce. cedar, hem
lick and pine can be obtained. There
are other varieties of less Importance
maple, alder, Balm of Gilead and will
low. There are lakes and rivers that
flow to the Pacific ocean. These abound
with excellent fish-salmon and noun
tain trout are the principal varieties;
those on the coast, halibut and goldfish
in abundance; also a greet variety from
the sardine to the whale. Dog6sh and
sharks are taken for oil; the sea otter
and fur seal are taken to the amount of
thousands Of dollars every year. This
business is only in its infancy. Mil
lions of seals pass up and down the coast
to Alaska every year. An immense
trade can be built In this line. Tons of
the best fish can be obtained il there
was any market for them. There are
about 1000 Indians - semi civilized
that are willing to furnish fish at home
for one cent per pound, if they had a
sure mhrket. There are more elk, bears,
cougars, wolves and Wildcats roam at
and unmolested here than any other SEQ
so numerous, because Of the large tim
Der wolves.
There are two small settlements in
rv,fk a tr,pl AntA M ha pr<a
about 40 miles south of Cape F1attery,
surveyed. The prairies are all taken up
tracts Of good bottom land yet untaken.
The climate ia mild in winter, south
winds generally prevail, while the warm
Japan currents aid more on the coast
than inland about the Olympic range.
Good crops Of oats, hay, barley and
wheat are raised. Corn will ripen, bat
is not profitable crop. Potatoes, tur-
nipA cabbage, and most root plants do
we'll. Fruit trees are looking well and
have commenced to bear. Apples.
plums, prunes and cherries, berries an d
small fruits, are luxuriant in growth and
bear abundantly. There is a good store
of general merchandise at Lapush, at
the mouth of the Quileute river. There
is one school, two postofices and two
notaries public. There are Eve moving
machines and one thresher, several wa0-
ons and q number of horses. We have
some good roads. Stock raising is the
principal industry. Cattle, sheep and
hogs do we'll. Cattle can get their liv-
ing on the range the year round, and do
we'll on the bottoms. It is necessary to
keep up work cattle, calves, and miloh
COWS, during the winter. Sheep must
be corralled at night. Bear, wolves and
cougars are fond of mutton, a. some
who lost about twenty five this summer
will testify.

SUGGESTIONS.
Ed. Posi- INrKLLroKNoRR:

I'D. RO6r-lSTELLr0ENCRR:
Is il not time our streets we're syste-
matically widened? Let Commercial
street be widened fifteen feet on each
side and extended northerly parallel
with Front or First street, and southerly
across the fats, making it our most
westerly business avenue. Every alter
nate north and south street commenc-
ing with Front street SHOULD be First
street) ought to be widened at least ten
feet on each side through to Lake
Washington. Mill street and every
alternate street north or south should
be ct least ten feet wider on each side
through to the lakes. Most of the build
ings now built could remain until re-
moval back to these new lines is advis-
able or new buildings are constructed.
Regarding the systematic naming of
streets, commencing next south Of Mill
street with the letter A, and retaining
old names where now named for indi-
viduals, a. Andrews street, Burke, Coul
ter, Dearborn, Elliston, Freeman, Cat
zert, Horton, Isaacs, jackson, Kinnear,
LAYTON, Miller, Nelson, Osborn, Plum
mer. Quinn, Rasin, Stetson, Turner,
Ulin, Van Buren,, Whitworth, Yesler,
linn, and thereafter the names of other
citizens or property owners, oommenc-
ing at the letter A. The names of most
streets north and parallel with Mill
street could be sytematized thus: First
Avenue, Second Avenue, etc. Names
Of streets parallel with Commercial
street, south OF Mill, remaining as at
present and those designated as North
First, North Second, etc.
BY then numbering these streets,
commencing with number one and al
lowing one hundred numbers to each
block, odd numbers ON the left and
even numbers on the right, from Com
mercial street east and from Mill street
both north and south, strangers could
readily and any desired place of BUSH
ness or residence.
Why should not railroads approach
ing this city enter parallel with the
streets a. plated, instead of crossing
and reorossinR at pleasure? II the Ia
coma and Green river roads would enter
from the south over the fats, If need be
occupying the whole of Second and
Third streets, including the intervening
blocks, for one I am willing 10 grant
them my right and title 10 the right Of
way for their tracks, over three add
tons in South Seattle, and doubtless
others will do the same.

PACIFIC csAsr snrrsrnDrxo.
IS Z. Chronicle. I

Less than one year ago il vas gener-
ally thought that ssipbuilding was one
OF the coming industries of the Pacific
Coast, and sanguine people were no.
wanting who believed that if ever the
American merchant marine sholld rise
again TO its former importance il would
do 50 with the aid of the shipbuilders
OF the Sierra slope, where material is
abundant and cheap. Some enthusiasts
went 80 far as TO believe thst iron YES
sells would be built here at no distant
day, good iron deposits having been
discovered both IN this State and II Or
eRon. The dream was hatterine, but il
has remained dream, and day-dream
at that. Coming down to reality, il is
found that the shipbuildina interest On
the Pacific Coast il in anything but q
prosperous condition. The many YES
sells which we're built . few years ago
were required for the increased coast;nQ
trade, and this demand having been
filled, the shipyards are idle. Nor ia it
likely that the necessities of trade will
soon require additional tonnage. for in
creasiHQ railroad facilities with coast
points north and south viii meet the
demand for the growing transportation
requirements. Ali the vessels that are
being built, both at San Francisco and
Puget Sound, may be counted on the
fingers OF the two hands. In this city
the only work Of importance is . ferry
boat at North Beach for the Domaine
road. to be used between this city and the
new terminus Of the road opposite An
gel island, and q second feiryboat at
Oakland point, for the use of the Cen
tral Pacific Railroad Company. The
last named corporation intends TO build
q second vessel as soon as that in pro-
cess Of construction shall be finished
At the South Beach there is no work of
importance in progress. Diokie Bros,
who for long time kept things looking
busy in this quarter, and who suspend
cd, have nominally resumed operations,
but % far they have not done any
large work. On the sound Capt. Hall
Is building three-masted schooner for
. local arm, and Pope 4 Talbot, the
Lumbar firm, are constructing q briRan-
tine. The fermer has Just flushed a
steamer of $50 tons burden for Homo
lulu waters, the vessel now being on
the way to this port. This is the extent
Of shipbuilding operations on the sound.
Happily for the mechanics of this city,
work has once more been commenced on
one of the many naval carcssses which
for years have been rotting in the mud
at the Mare Island navy yard. Nearly
one hundred shipwrights have found
work there during the past week, which
will last as long as the appropriation.
But for the timely resumption Of this
work many shipwri9hts would now DO
out of employment in this city. Wages
have not yet declined here, although
they are weak. On the sound, how
ever. men can be hired at from $75 to
800 q mouth.
