Annual Report of Governor Squire.
WASHINGTON, Nov. "a. - Watson
Squire, Governor of Washington
Territory, in his annual report,
says: Tue manufacturing industries
of the Territory have attained a
highly gratifying degree of improve
ment, that of lumber taking the
lead. In many cases Indians are
eng ged in prosperously cultivating
the soil, and it is believed the sys-
tenn OF allotting a suitable quantity
of land to them in severalty can and
ought to he encouraged. If they
could he induced to concentrate aud
altogether abandon certain reserva-
lions it would couduce much to the
development of the Territory by The
settlement and cultivation of large
tracts of valuable land now unpro-
ductive.
Touching the Territorial law con-
ferring upon women the hight to
vote, the Governor says: Although
many of our citizens are disposed to
question the wisdom of this law, es-
pecially when attended with the re-
quirement that women should serve
as jurors, it meets with the approval
of large majority of the people,
and the women of tho Territory are,
for the most part, strongly DESTROYS
that the enactment he retained upon
our statute books. Thus far it
seems attended with no important
results unfavorable to the welfare of
the people of the Territory.
The report states that the value of
assessed property in the Territory is
$50, 513, 1852, with one county to be
heard. The Territory is entirely
ont of debt, and July 1, 1884, had a
balance of SAT ,9O1 in the treasury.
The population of the Territory is
estimated at $50, 200, and the Gov
ernor, in conclusion, presents q
number of reasons to support the
claim of Washington Territory for
admission into tho Union as State.
Seeking Wives for Arizona Bachelors.
New York, Nov. 24.-[Speciall-
7. G. Green of st. Johns, Apache
county, Arizona Territory, has ar
rived at Philadelphia. He said:
"There is a scarcity of young wo-
men in Apache county, and a lot of
respectable young men called a
meeting at St. Johns, October 18th,
and deputies were selected to como
east to secure wives for subscribers
to the association. 1 have photo
graphs of the members, thirty-one
in all, and I also have letters of rec
ommendation from township officers.
All I want low is to secure young
ladies. Their expenses 10 Arizona
will be paid by the association i'm
mediately, or if they prefer. they
will be given the addresses of mem
bers whom they prefer and corre-
spondence can be opened"
The Leading Lady.
CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-The Heralds
Washington special to- day says: It
is generally believed by those who
know Cleveland best that there will
be less festivities during his term of
Office than there has been for many
years past. He has been q hard
working Governor and will probably
continue his industrious habits as
President. Bachelor as no is, the
White House will, however, have o
most creditable mistress. There are
four ladies in his immediate family,
either of whom can we'll perform
The honors of his household. His
eldest sister in this country Mrs. W.
c. Hoyt, of Fayetteville, would fill
any position with credit. She is a
middle aged lady of pleasing ad.
dress, who has spent good deal of
time at the Executive Mansion in Al
bany since her brother has been Gov.
ernor. She has made many friends
in the capital of that State, aud
will doubtless do the same in Wash
ington, where she will probably GO
on March 4. Miss r. E. Cleveland
is o maiden sister. She resides in
the little home cottage at Holland
Patent, Just out of Utica. She is
good public speaker, o quick con-
versationalist, and generally plain
woman of intellectual force, and she
would do her share in entertaining
her brothers guests at the national
capital. Cleveland has sister who
for twenty years has been mission
airy in Ceylon. She has two charm
ing daughters, Mary and Carrie
hastings, whom the Governor has
been for years educating in this
country. He has given them every
advantage, and they have improved
them. They will no doubt be a part
of their uncle's family circle at
Washington, as they have been at
times at Albany. With Mrs. Hoyt,
or any one of the other ladies spo.
ken of, the social portion Of the first
Democratic Administration which has
been installed here for quarter of q
century will be well sustained, even
should the President-elect continue
bachelor.
The most deserving man for pre-.
ferment under the new Administra.
ton, in Oregon, is Mr.. A. Noltner,
of the Portland Standard. He has
labored necessarily the past quarter
of century for the success of the
party which now, for the first time,
has achieved q victory which will
bear the fruits of success. He has
