inc out where the coming places are
= ,,hsy. best to locate themselves.
Ths new town of Bayview has been
,,.,,sd and the plat tiled with the Au-
s;,o, a. Laconner. Tie lots nre sixty
..., fr.n, bv one hundred and ten feet
asso. the streets are sixty and alleys
,-sp,v fee. wide; the town fronts on
padills Bay. 1t Is unQuestionably a
,.sn.iful location, and, being in the
..,,sr of the new county. will certainly
tsso,ne A lively place. II is the natural
or,,e, for at least one hundred and fifty
,;Ilion feet of lumber; or, ia other
moyds il ia the outlet for about all the
,,mbsr between here and the Olympia
Marsh. three miles distant, and the doe
I4ary Slough and south boundary line
n township 81, range east. II Is also
tha natural outlet to the Marsh, and
h,re let me say that new corners would
do wall TO visit and inspect the Olympia
Marsh before looking elsewhere. At
this writing, today, two Michigan men
eame in from the Marsh. both well
ulsased. They report but very little
water in sight, and coud walk anywhere
ovsr II. in fact, with few beaver dams
removed from the Joe lseary Slough,
the Marsh at this time of the year would
be- almost dry. MANY have filed bat
made no Improvement Is, thereby leaving
their claims liable TO be jumped. The
Z clearing of the Marsh Is easy, being
covered with nothing but bareback and
grass. ANY one wishing to visit the
Marsh should take the steamer at Seat
III and come to Laconner, the fare cost
inc only fiftv cents. From Laconner
thew should come to Bayview. to which
they can either walk or 90 by stage on
Monday and Thursday; from here the
nearest trail pOes into the Marsh. All
necessary directions will be given to Wis
l,ors wishing to 90 this way.
We should have here a good portable
mill, and men who handle machinery
would do well to give US n visit. The
timber is near at hand and could be
hauled directly TO the mill: the Swino-
mish flats and the Skaglt being on one
side Of us, and the Samish and the isl
ands on the other would mako a good
home market for lumber.
We need good store, having now 10
10 eight miles for goods.
This would also be a good point for a
furniture factory, az there are large
quantities Of good cedar and maple III
TIE vicinity. Poor men with fsmilies
would do well to locate here, tie prices
Of lots being put nj the low figures of
ti0 and $40 each. la the winter, when
the farmers and logging camps have
closed their work for the season, work
can be bad in the way of making shin
giles, shakes, rails and posts. AS the ce-
dar Is handy and plentiful.
In conclusion would say there is no
peasanter or healthier place anywhere,
aud We only ask you To come and look
aud learn for yourselves. We will do
oil IN our power to assist you.
