Charles Alton is elected to the office

Editor of the Journal trys to craw

fit to be classed as a republican, and
his paper is not worthy the support

as he cannot be depended upon, and
does not make a practice of sticking

Mr.. Alton without any cause what
ever, unless that it was from the
fact that he was a Leaf River maI

Mr.. Alton was nominated by the del.
egates from the three towns CON-
prising the 3rd commissioners dis
trict viz: Leaf River, Wing River
and Thomastown, and we think that
the people from these towns are in
telligent enough to know who they
wanted for commissioner. without the
dictation of Mr.. Mcmillan or the
Bullard ring. Anyway, he was
elected by a handsome majority
after all Of their kicking. Charles
Alton is an honorable man and
good citizen. lie is we'll versed in
the affairs Of the county, being one
of the early settlers, and is we'll
worthy Of the position to which he
has been elected, and we have every
reason to believe that he will make
all excellent commissioner, and will
perform the duties of the office hon.
orably and to the satisfaction Of the
citizens of the county.

lArkaasaw Traveller
A gentleman driving along in buggy
came to a very moddy, not to say dan
gerous, place in the road. Seeing sn
old man sitting ON fence, he called
out:
"My friend, I'm bothered here"
80 am |.
"Well, then, we are in. the same
boat. What's the matter with you!'
"Shot at a man."
"Why does it bother yoa!"
"Cause | didn't hit him."
"Who was the mani"
MY son-in-law.
"Why did you shoot at him."
"'Cause l stole his jng, an shot to
keep him from shootin."
But, as was saying, am bothered
here. | don't know which side of the
road to take. | am afraid that my
horse will mire down. Which is the
best side."
Blamed il / know"

"The cheapest"
Here, now. no fooling. want to
know which side"
That's none OF my business.
The traveller, irritated up to the dan.

man on the fence, aud said:
Jump down and show me the best
road, or I'll shoot the top OF your head

you was in such a earnest-fit. I'd stold

over here at the bend. Nearly all of

Gentlemen, I just long to be there"
Where!"
"Why, in one of those panics at the
theater. Yes, sir, I'd give new twenty
dollar bill to be in the theater one night
when there was any occasion for a
panic"
"why2"
"Why, because one cool. level headed
man could stop the thing as easily as you
could end up that barrel Of -four"
Well, dunno about that" observed
one of the sitters. "There is something
awful in the cry Of fire. and, hear it
when and where you may, it startles and
friPhtens you. What would you do in a
theater in case there was a CRY of fire
and rush?"
I'D stand upon my seat, pull q re-
volver from my pocket, and shout out
tina. I'd shoot the first man who at
tempted to crowd or rush. One cool
man would check the panic in ten Sec
onds."
While the subject was being discussed
the grocer went to the rear end of the
store, poured little powder on board
and gave three or four men the wink.
Directly there was a bright flash, Wells
of "Fire!" and Powderr' and every
man sprang up and rushed. Joe didn't
jump up and talk of shooting. On the
contrary, he fell over a lot Of baskets

WEST OF TmR CASCADES.

There is good deal of truth in the
following from the Willamette Farmer:
Many newcomers find homes in the
coast region Of Oregon and Washing
ton. where there is practically unlimit-
ed space for settlement. Ii Is true that
the open valley land was settled long
ago, but along the coast OF Oregon and
Washington for 800 miles. in the foot
hills of the great valley, on all sides OF
Puget Sound and the country one hun
bred miles square lying between the
Sound and the Columbia river, reaching
from the mountains 70 the sea, are TO bs
found rich bottoms and bench land,
more or less covered with forests, that
will in time support hundreds of thou-
sands OF prosperous farming population.
Whatcom county, to the extreme north
on the Sound, is attracting mauy new
settlers. South of the Columbia, in the
Nehalem valley and vicinity, in Oregon,
there is room for thousands. Towards
the California line, in Jackson county,
the building of the Oregon and CaIifor-
MIA road will make valuable every acre
OF land that can be reduced to cultiva-
ton because of its adaptability to fruit
growing and the superior advantages OF
the southern climate. The southern
coast region also poJsssses the same do
climate, and offers many in
ducements for settlers. There is con
slant increase of population through all
this coast section, one hundred miles
east and west by five hundred north and
south. even though the tide of immi-
grafton sets up the Columbia with great
er force.
The time il not distant whom all the
available locations through the west
ern hills and valleys will be eagerly
sought for, and settlement will in due
time occupy many favorable locations
in the coast mountains. To those who
desire mild and healthful climate,
without either heats Of summer or frOsts
Of winter in excess, the advantages of
the western portion OF the Pacific North
west will DO apparent, even If it involves
the expense of clearing land. Its near
ness to market will b an attraction
and permanent benefit.
The man who comes here with money
oan locate whore he chooses to invest,
and good improved farms will he for
sale in all directions. With 5000 he
can buy q comfortable home and i'm
proved farm in the Willamette, and with
half that, Or even much less, by prudent
he can buy land and fix
himself comfortably anywhere.

The great rush for lots in this addi-
ton is unprecedented. Over fifty of
them sold in the last four weeks. They
are one mile east from the postoffice. on
the shortest and most direct route tor
Lake Washington. Mill street extends
through the addition. The lots are
small farms by themselves. being 6Oxi2o
feet in size. They are situated on
high plateau, overlooking the bay, and
in the near future will undoubtedly be
right in the heart of the Queen City
of the Pacific coast. These lots are
not offered for sale to spectators for
cash. The plan is to give every man.
no matter what his financial circum-
stances, a chance to secure lot or
a block of land, that as time rolls
round" he will have reason to rejoice
instead of weep over his purchase. If
he is Spectator and pays cash down
for his purchase, we bind him to clear
and fence his lot or lots within ayear.
If he is a poor man, DESTROYS of secur-
ing q home and saving rent, we give
him a wears chance for bis life, and if
he behaves himself well, makes good
and especially If he clears
and improves his lot nicely, We give
him a better chance. We prefer selling
lots to this class of people on easy
terms, than to receive all cash IN
hand. Our object is to increase and
homes and Improvements, |
that our census returns may show q
population of 10000 i'll 1884, 10000 in |

with corresponding wealth. There are |
abundant resources in the lakes and |
rivers, the hills and mountains, the |
plains and valleys behind us. and the |
broad Pacific before us, to warrant this |
happy state of affairs, and they will be |

citizens, and don't you for

''P. S.-No matter how sleepy a man
is when he comes to Seattle, within tif-
teen minutes to as many days, accord
ing to his intuition, he wakes up to the
truth of the situation, Is seized with
that impulse which animates the masses,
and the next arrival cannot tell him
from one of the "Old Settlers" so enthu-
siastic is he over our vast resources, our
central position and the certain great.
ness of our city. His first move is to
purchase real estate; and history re-
cords the fact that the sooner he wakes
up and makes his purchase, the happier
he is; as every day adds to his wealth.
