TINE FIRST OFFICIAL CLAIM.

We have just been reading some por-
tions OF the Inst official report of Presi-
dent Willard TO the Board of Directors
OF the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany. II has been claimed by this jour
nal, and il we'll known fact, that the
25-mile section of the Puyallup coal
road recently inspected by the Presi-
Dental Commissioners as forming part
of the Cascade branch of the Northern
Pacific Railroad was not. when con-
struoted, intended an part Of such
branch, nor, until recently, had any
claim been made by the company to
that effect. The first official recogni
tion or assumption that any portion of
that coal road was 10 Do utilized m part
Of the Cascade branch, appears in the
following extract from the report above
alluded to.
CASCADE DrvIsroS.-On the western
section OF this division track has been
laid from Puyalsup Junction to Stuck
Junction.
The distance from Tacoma to Puyal-
lap junction is about ten miles. Thence
n new railroad seven and one-haIf miles
long, extending 20 Stuck Junction, was
built by the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company last summer. From stuck
Junction the road known as the Seattle
Branch has been constructed 10 Black
River Junction, abeut ten miles from
this city. The section of railroad re-
Gently inspected by the Commissioner,
included OF theee lines, only that por-
ton between Tacoma ard Puyallup
Junction, the other Is miles embraced
in the alleged % mile section of the Cas-
cads Branch being part of railroad
mover before. 10 our knowledge, officially
claimed 10 be anything but a SEQ
tion Of road primarily constructed and
solely utilized for coal transportation
and other local traffic. IL is very late
In the day TO stretch oat this ten. mile
Calm Of President Wizards into a
twenty Ave mile section Of the Cascade
Branch. As well might land grant be
claimed for constructing the other
branches named. In fact. with more
Justice would ID attach for bailding the
section from fayallne % Stuck June
tion, because that Is on the line Of a
practical route.

Attention has more than once been
called TO the fact that, of tie candidates
for the Presidential nomination at the
Republican Convention next month,
not only does Blaine lead the list in tie
numerical strength of bis supporters,
bat that this strength Is largely derived
from States which will undoubtedly
give Republican maiorities at the next
election, whereas the main reliance Of
Arthur in the convention will be upon
delegates from States from which IL 10
idle to expect any aid in electing Re
publican President. TO state the case
briefly, Blaine's reliance in the National
Convention is upon Republican States,
Arthur's upon Democratic States ibis
difference between the candidacy OF
Blaine and Arthur IL marked even IN
the district elections Of delegates. In
New York, for instance, Blaine dele

can Congressional District in the State,

Democrats districts. such a. New York
City, Albany and Buffalo, are anti

other Northern States, the strength OF
tine Republican party il III the country,
the Democrats being most numerous IN
this large cities. In New York the coun-
try is almost unit for Blaine. IL is
therefore, not reasonable ~ say that be

sumo that he will not receive the full

York Sun, net by any means friendly to
Biaine's candidacy. declares that he can
carry New York If Edmnnds can, and
the friends of the latter stoutlv main

York than Arthur. We believe that
Blaine has more available working and
voting strength in New York than any
statesman In the Nation, and that be
will. If nominated. carry that State by

1t will be remembered that on the
7th instant w. H. White, the peoples
representative in Washington, tele-
graphed for a statement from Judge
Greene and members of the bar here
showing the necessity for fourth Judge
in this Territory. In compliance with
that request, the following telegram was
sent over the wires yesterday:
SEATTLE, w. T., May Sth, 1884.
To Hon. Geo. r. H0ar, United States
Senator. Washington. ID. O.: A fourth
Judge is indispensably necessary in this
Territory for the prompt dispatch of
business. More than 400 cases in King
and kitsap counties at present term.
Zen counties, six courts and twelve
terms annually in this district. Enough
business in this district alone for two
Judges. Thirty -three counties in the
Territory.

FIRE ALARM.-At IL o'clock last even

FIRE ALARM.-At IL o'clock last even
ing a fire was discovered in rubbish
pile III the rear of the Queen Chop
House on Commercial street. Some
careless employee of that establishment
had during the afternoon emptitd IA
large quantity of ashes upon pile OF
straw and other combustible material.
The live Goals in the ashes ignited the
straw, aud when discovered the flames
were reaching their fiery tongues ten or
| fifteen feet in the air. Ed. L.. Terry was
the first to discover the fire, and through
his exertions the flames were soon sub
dued. and what might have been very
destructive confiagration Was nlpped in
the bud. The alarms were sounded,
| and the various fire companies soon had
their engines and other apparatus in
readiness to perform effective service.
but fortunately there was nothing for
them to do. We cannot too strongly
condemn the practice so prevalent in
this city of emptying ashes oarelessly
and recklessly anywhere. regardless of
consequences. This little occurrence
will cause the persons in authority to
examine into this matter, aud will prob
ably lead to the passage of an ordinance
for the punishment of persons who thus
jeopardize valuable property through
laziness or carelessness.
