an enormous population Is proven by
the fact that We are absorbing sever
al hundred every week, and theit
presence among us is hardly realized
until census day romes around.
These Immigrants are for the most
part s@topie of education, intelligence
and financial means; they are from
the most desirable classes in the
country. and to help them find good
homes is not only a kindness to them
but benefit to the general Pub''c.
and a work in which every public
spirited citizen may engage in with
becoming pride. Wehave contended
heretofore that the resources of Clal-
am county were not sufficiently her
aided abroad. There ought to be
some system of making its advan-
tages known to immigrants landing
here from time to time on ocean
steamers, and later over the n. i X.
r. Other localities are alive TO their
interests and are bestirring them
selves 90 secure their share of the
newcomers why not Angeles, and
with it the whole of Clalam? A few
years ago when an immigration aid
society was organized III this town,
its efforts We're crippled by the apa-
thy, indifference and positive disap-
proyal of mossbacks who today have
fully aroused from their long slum-
bers and are wondering why seDe-
thing is not done to help fill up their
locality. The general awakening
will not lapse now till the fondest
hopes of enthusiasts have been more
than realized. To such as inquire
about Clalam we say, go and see for
yourselves. The soil, the timber, the
game, the fish, the mountain streams,
the pure air, the harbors, the sites
for manufactures, are all there. Go,
and suit yourselves as to location.
Go, and grow up with the country"
Never mind about markets. Home
markets will develop with the
grow III of the country-and as for
exports, why, well, get something to
export and our word for it there will
be ample means found of conveying
it to the remotest markets of the
w9ld. A steamer leaves here every
Monday, calling at all points of i'm
portance in Clalam county as far as
to Neah Bay, and it is confidently
expected that the service will soon be
increased to twice a week. $50 We
ip therefore, and possess the land"
What it lacks in milk and honey can
easily be supplied by art. 1t has
sure foundation in natural resources.

County Roads.
DECISION OF JUDGE GREENE.

We publish the following synopsis OF
the appeal OF E. P. Bailer against the
Commissioners OF San Juan county, in
the matter of public road, as it is of
public interest:
1t appears that Thomas Fleming was
seeking to get a public road from his
premises through the lands of BaiIer
and Others to certain county road,
under Secs. 1884, 1885 and 1886, of the
code, which provides that "any person
whose land is so situated that he has no
connection with any county road, may
make application in writing to the
County Commissioners &C."
Fleming made application in writing,
gave the necessary bond and the Com
missioners appointed viewers. The
viewers viewed out the road, assessed
the damages to Bailer, and made report
in favor of establishing the road.
Fleming paid all costs of locating the
road and the da images assessed, and at
the August meeting OF the board, the
Commissioners confirmed the viewers re-
port and declared the road public road
Bailer appealed to the district court
and moved to vacate and set aside all
the proceedings of the Commissioners on
the following grounds:
The application of Fleming in this
language is insufficient. .Trhe under
signed having no legal road to a county
road"
The record does not show that the
viewers appointed were "disinterested"
and 'freeholders."
Nor that three notices were posted
fifteen days; nor that notice was given
to all persons through whose land the
road is to be located. as required by law.
His Honor Judge Greene, sustained
the motion and set aside all the proceed
ingS OF the Commissioners.
ID. w. Smith, was attorney for Mr..
Bailer.
We know nothing about the merits of
this particular case, but it contains a
lesson which all County Commissioners
may profit by, namely: "the necessity of
conforming to the statutes as nearly as
possible" in order to get legal road.
Commissioners should never lose sight
OF the printed instructions relative I.
roads given by our former district
attorney Ballard, that, Boards of
County Commissioners are courts of in
ferior and limited jurisdiction, and have
not the same prescriptions in favor of
the legality of their proceedings as
courts OF record. For this reason the
record should be full and explicit es.
Peeaasty regarding all facts necessary
to gire the board jurisdiction to acts
Greater caution on the part of County
Commissioners would save to the peopIe
useless bill of costs.

New YORK, Sept. S.-The Teegrdm
has a special purporting to come from
Tucson, Arizona, saying: I'VE are pass
ing through Il crisis which is without
precedent. All the commercial houses
in Tucson are closing, one after another,
on account of dullness of trade: The
troubles with the Apaches, who are con-
tinually on the warpath and Lever sub

SEATTLE MARKET REPORT.
POst-IateHigencer.l


HOPS-Buyers here are offering to
contract for this years crop at from l6
to II cents per pound. recent dis
patch from San Francisco, in speaking
of this product, says: Pacific coast
hops of the new raw crop are arriving in
quantity in fhis market. Early in the
week several car loads OF Sacramento
hops were shipped east on private
terms. The crop in New York State
this year is said to be larger than that
of 1882. In England there will be a
large yield. A private telegram re-
ceived in this city on Thursday states
that the crop in that country has been
badly damaged by the recent storm.
The crop prospects in Germany are
good. In this market old hops are very
scarce, and quotable at 1S to 20 cents
per pound; new, 20 to 221a cents; for
Russian River % cents is asked. The
asking price in Sacramento by hop
growers for new crop is 20 cents per
1ound. The New York market is re-
ported quiet at 27 to 80 cents per pound.
WOOL-No change since our last re-
port. Buyers here are paying from l6
to II cents per pound for good clean
wool.
FLOUR-Owing to lessened cost of
wheat and early prospect of increased
milling work, together with a weak for
eign market, -four has declined. Job
bers are now selling extra family -four
at from S5 to $3.50 per barrel, decline
of fifty cents per barrel on last weeks
quotations.
OATS-So far but few new oats have
found their way to market, and the
market on the crop of 1888 has not fair
ly opened. It was learned last evening
that buyers will open at from S2S to $50
per ton in the grain growing districts OF
Puget Sound.
BACON and hams unchanged.
BUTTER-Scarce and good demand.
Dealers pay from 3711s to 40 cents per
per pound for A No. ], fresh.
EGGS-Market firm and supply light.
Fifty cents per dozen has been paid
during the past few days for strictly
fresh lots from the country.
POTATOES-But few Puget Sound
potatoes have so far found their way to
market Produce dealers state that
farmers demand 80 cents per bushel,
while they can afford to ship potatoes
from California and sell them at 70
cents per busheL The potato crop of
Western Washington is short this sea
son, and but for the importations from
California, the price would advance
very rapidly. The same state of affairs
exist in Oregon, as the following taken
from the market report of 4 Portland
paper will show: "Oregon potatoes are
in light supply and the bulk of business
is confined to California, which sell at
1c for fair to good quality. Choice lots
bring a shade advance"
HAY-Good demand exists for timo-
thy, at prices quoted below. 4 promi-
nent produce dealer said yesterday:
lowing to the large shipments of Cali
fornia hay, now on the way, do not
think prices can remain at present
quoted rates much longer"

San JUAN, W. T., Sept. 10, 1888.
EDITOR ARGUs:-Being assured of the
high esteem and great respect entertain
ed by the congregation of the Presby-
terian Church and the people of Port
Townsend, generally, toward Rev. John
Rea, now of Oakland, Cal, | venture to
give you few general items OF the grand
and noble work in which the reverend
brother is engaged as culled from prl-
vate letter, lately received The work Is
about equivalent to the charge OF church
of 300 or 400 members. The church Is
one of the best working on the coast, 1t
having a membership of some 500, and
sn assistant in the pastoral work being
employed. Its special feature Is its
Sabbath school, and young peoples
work in connection with the Sabbath
school. The school enrols some S15
members, the average attendance being
67S. Such grand work carried on in
the forming, moulding and building of
character for Christ and his kingdom,
amid such u regiment of growing youth,
opens up vast field for special effort,
and none better adapted for this grand
work than our excellent brother, who,
when here in his former charge, eXcelled
in Sabbath school management. The
CliufCu DullulHS III WHICH uib SClOOi Is
conducted is most admirable adapted for
such work, having number OF rooms
for large and small meetings. AS many
as twenty meetings could be held at the
same moment without interfering with
each other or using the main audience
room. The school is in four depart
ments: primary, junior, senior and Bible
classes, and in all this, with four assis-
tants and six other officers, the work
goes on. The system, like that of the
mammoth John Wsnnamakers store in
| Philadelphia, being about perfect,
everything is like clockwork, all things
being done by the click of the telegraph,
perfect order being the first and last law
of the school. Sundays doings are only
| a part of the mighty work of this institu-
ton. There are many branches. There
is the society of christian Endeayor'
numbering 40 members. This meets
during the week days, aid is followed by
eight graded meetings, three for boys
and youth, and five for young ladies,
misses and girls. Brother Rea has his
Office and study in the church building,
and any of his numerous friends from
Puget Sound visiting Oakland at any
time, it would well repay them to call at
the First Congregational church, cor.
18th and Clay streets, between the hours
of 8 and II am.

Although the speech of Mr.. Knott
in this city last Thursday was an able
effort and an exhaustive and conclu-
sive political argument, there is no
Disgusting the fact that his address
was disappointment to the great
mass of his hearers. National issues
have been pretty thoroughly discus
se,l here Of late by Roger q. Mills,
Jas b. Beck, Thos. l.. Jones. JAS. A.
Mckenzie and other distinguished
speakers, and the people wanted to
hear something fresh aud different.
In neglecting to discuss State affairs
more and national issues less Mr..
Knott made a mistake. The people
had fockcd into the city to hear
something lively. They were ex-
pecting to see Col. Morrow skinned
and hear some first-class jokes. with
just enough good old Democratic
doctrine TO cement the whole togcth-
er and make them glad they were
Democrats and proud of their candi-
date. Instead of this Mr.. Knott de-
voted the most of his speech to ma
tional politics, ignored Col. Morrow
entirely, never mentioning his name,
and there was not even the SEM
blancc of JOKE in his speech.

mand. OF the seven candidates for
State offices, only three-Knott, Hind
man and Hardin-are making any
show of a canvass whatever, so far rs
has been announced. These are not
arousing any enthusiasm, but are
speaking in many instances to small
crowds and are doing but little effect

their party TO throw their whole en-
ergies into tie fight, meet their oppo-
nents OH the stump and get up All en-
thusiasm that will benefit the party
and increase its majority at the polls.
just such care less canvassing as this
has caused the Democracy to lose
prestige with every election for the
last several years. Not only ought
the candidates to be at work, but
Democratic speakers ought to be on
