900 head, and horses, 120, 900 head.
WASHINGTON TERRITORY.

enced a rapid growth, since the con-
struction of the Northern Pacific Rail-

)ne of the chief factors contributing

One of the chief factors contributing
more largely than any other to the
rapid settlement in this region was
the building of the Northern Pacific
Railroad through these important
States and Territories. It's construc-
ton was made possible by the liberal
grant of lands made for that purpose
by the general Government. The line
was opened for through traffic about
two years ago, and considering the
progress already made in develop
ing the rich agricultural. grazing,
timber, mineral and other native re-
sources of the broad belt of country
which it traverses, it is safe to predict
that at no distant day this region of
the West will count its inhabitants by
millions, and the amount of wealth its
people will realize can scarcely be esii-
mated.

Tho rather sudden spell Of cold weather makes
1t necessary to begin our usual winters work
among the POO. o. the city. The citizens Of Alex

friends that we need not enter into explanation
Of our work, or its methods. 1t is sufficient to
say, wo pledge ourselves anew to be conscicn-
tous aud judicous as we know how in dispens-
ing the charities Of our noble hearted people. We
shall take all the pains in cur power to help the
most deserving poor and while we do not profess
only to help such, flor assistance must some
times be givea to these whom we, know
to be undeserring) yet We shall take the
utmost pains not to DO imposed upon, and
to give help in ways that cannot be abused
PERHAPS the most distressing cry that reaches us,
from the poor, is for fuel and clothing, in such
spell of weather as this. We therefore beg our
people to send us donations of money and half
worn clothing. The Relief Rooms will be open
for this purpose every Saturday morning, between
10 and / O'Clock. Also the President and Trea-
surcr will be grateful FOR donations Of money at
their houses or through the Postotice, at any
tlmo. later notice of the usual Christmas

the tolls of ten cents as compared with last

to derive sufficient revenues to pay all the
current expenses. Ali the CANAL debts for
