Port Ludlow,
Az ls-roRrANr MILLING INDUSTRY

| AS IMPORTANT MILLING INDUSTRY.
Port Ludlow saw mill. situated on the
beautiful laud-locked bay of the same
name in Jefferson county, is one OF the
principal milling plants on Puget Sound.
Ii was selected aud built upon in lS52,
by Messrs. Sayward and Thorudyke, and
in 1853 was leased by Messrs. Arthur
! Phinney, Zachariah Amos. and VIM.
Hooke, when they began business under
the irm name oF Amos, Pbinncy x Co.
In 1869 Mr., Phinney succeeded to tue
entire control Of the business, the other
members OF the firm retiring. Mr. Phln-
ney was very successful. ard had
enlarged the business greatly up to the
time Of his death May %, 1877. at that
time he had a neS mill IN course Of con-
structioD, work upon which was sus-
pended at once The estate was so large
and its interests SO varied that the
executors. Messrs o. F. Gerrish, of Port
Townsend, and Geo. w. Harris, of Port
Ludlow, found themselves unable to get
it properly through the probate court
without long delay during which time
the mill was idie and the county suffered
serIoas loss In consequence. Pending
settlement Of the estate, Mr.. Gerrish also
died, and GiF Harris assumed sole charge
of TIE affairs. In November, 1873, how
ever, the whole property was sold at
auction, the mill site with its buildings
being purchased by Puget Mill Co, for
S64,S50. After that the mill was idle
for considerable while longer, us the
new owners not only decided to carry
ont the original plan of Mr.. Phinuey,
but the new building and plant was
greatly enlarged. The new mill with its
magnificent machinery was completed
and started going in October, 1888, since
which time it has been turning out when
running on full time 1000 feet or more
of lumber per day. 1t is supplied with
labor saving machinery, electric lights,
etc , and employs about 40 men. Tie
wharf is only as large as is required for
slowing lumber, as vessels of the largest
size can float within a few yards Of shore.
One popularity about the bay is that a
stream of fresh water pours into it from
the west, keeping the water fresh enough
to preserve logs and piles from the
destructive inroads of the Tereio so
annoying and expensive at all other mill
ing ports oil the Sound. Quite a little
town has sprung up around the mill,
and its population is now variously
estimated at from 800 to $50. It has the
usual mill store, also pest Office, tele-
graph Office, express Office, public school,
etc, and these with the Phoenix Hotel,
owned and operated by Hon. Z. d.
Attridgc, furnish all the convenienees
Of civilization. The town occupies q
pleasant and healthful location, and is
connected by wagon road with the farm
ing settlement in Chimacum valley,
thence TO Port Townsend, as well as
having the advantage OF daily mail
service by steamers. Port Ludlow is
specially adapted for ship building, as
attested by the shipyar conducted there
by Hall Bros. from 1874 to 1880, during
which time they launched thirty-one
ocean vessels of various sizes from their
ways.

New Years Eve Festivities.

The old year was laid away among the
by-COnes and che new year ushered Ii
10y tin horns, bugles Srianglee. dinner
bells aud an inharmoniouS rafting of all
the tin pans in t!s shop OF the silent
man on Fowler's corner. Captain Dal-
gardno's celebrated fog horn was in foil
blast, and some idea of its power may be
had when we state that Mr.. John Fl.
Woodley, who lives at Chemakum, al
least eight miles from here. states that
he heard DeIs horn distinctly. The
band tried TO help ont the din, bot we
are informed that the trumpets got filed
with soft soap, the trombone with lager
beer aud the drum so filed with sawdust
that it gave forth muffled sound. The
boys had good time, however, and the
new year of 1856 was ushered into exist
ence with due pomp and ceremony, and
before o'clock q. N. order reigned IN
the streets of the port of entry.

Fort HadIOciG Saw Hill.
AN IMPORTANT NEW INDUSTRY ON PORT
TOWNSEND BAY,

| AN IMPORTANT NEW INDUSTRY ON PORT
TOWNSEND BAY.
During the past year the foundations
have been laid deep and broad for a
mammoth milling industry at the head
of Port Townsend Bay. Movement was
begun In this matter over year ago by
San Francisco parties who bonded land
for the mill site, and began preparations
on small scale, but through inability
to meet the fnancia! requirements of the
situation they finally sold the plant 10
firm of whom Messrs. McLarie, Turner,
Kennedy, Curtis and Shaw are members.
backed by the necessary capital to make
! the enterprise an enormous one. These
| gentlemen have in course of construction
at the point indicated a mill that will
have daily cutting capacity of at least
| 130, 600 feet of lumber. 1t is located in
the extreme southern end of Port Town
send Bay, at the mouth of spacious
lagoon evidently carved out by Nature
specially for holding saw logs. An
ample era of land has been secured for
the site, 1,000 feet frontage having been
given as bonus by Mr.. Samuel Hadlock,
in whose honor the place was named
Port Hadlock. Deep water and good
anchorage render it unnecessary to pro-
ject wharf more than 100 feet from
shore in order to accommodate ocean
vessels of the deepest draught. The
main mill building. as now completed, is
$50 feet long and 80 feet wide, with
boiler house 40xS0 feet. In due course
of time building will be erected for a
cook house, and one for a store. A
dwelling for Mr.. Curtis is ii course of
erection, and ere this time next year the
site will be dotted with numerous cabins
for the use OF the employees. Machinery
and appliances of an electric light system
are on the ground. The machinery for
the mill is also partly on hand. There
are two engines, enc 36x42 inches with
13-inch shaft; the other, 24x2S inches
with 10 inch shaft. There is also large
gang saw of the Farmer patent. All this
machinery has been made by the Union
Iron Works of San Francisco, and is
being set up for work by Mr.. Thos.
Farmer. The whole construction is
being carried on under the superinten-
dency of Mr.. II. J. McLarie, and the
mill viii be ready for operation about
June 1st, or six months hence. It will
take rank at once as one of the principal
saw mills on Puget Sound, will appre-
ciably Increase the business and COM
merce ceutering Oh Port Townsend Bay,
and will furnish homes and steady
employment for 100 men.

ISLAND COUNTY,

Island county is just, what its name
indicates-a county on Jan island, or
rather t4re islands. Il Is colapssad of
WILDLY and Camano islands, the former
of which is about sixty miles long and
contains 115,G00 acres; the latter has
an area of $4,000 acres. The islands lie
between upper Puget Sound on the
south and Bellingham Bay on the north;
between Skagit county on the eastern
mainland, and Jefferson and Kitsap
counties on the western mainland. Island
county has population of $50, and, a :
though it is one of the Oldest settl, d
counties in the territory, it still has much
vacant land. It's principal products are
those of the farm, although its annual
contribution in lumber to the commerce
of Puget Sound runs into the millions of
feet. Ceupeyille. il thriving village On
Penn's Cove. Is the county seat. At Ut
salady on Camano island Is located saw
mill, belonging to the Puget Mill Co.,
which has a daily cutting capacity of
100000 feet OF lumber. Ship building is
also carried on on a small scale. Oak
HarbOr, Coveiand, Crescent Harbor and
Dugualla are all thriving farming settle
ments. The county is fairly well sup
piled with schools, churches, mail and
transportation facilities, etc. All the
ports on the eastern side are way ports
on the semi-weekly steam mail service
between Seattle and Whatcom. while the
principal settlements are tapped by a
daily steam mail and passenger service
per steamer Enterprise. Capt. L. B. Has
tings, from Port Townsend to Ebey's
Landing. Island county has 8 school
districts, s of which are supplied with
good school houses, and the aggregate
number of children of school age is 323
The Soil of the county, like that of other
portions of the Puget Sound basin. is
diversified in its character sufficiently to
admit of mixed farming. The assessed
valuation of property within the county
is 1888, ,361.

The Failures of the Past Near

report that the total number of business
failures i'll the United States during 1885
was 1867 with liabilities little more
than SI24,OO0,00G, as compared with
I0,96S III 1884 with liabilities Of SGT, 600,
Goo While the failures of 1885 are only
three per cent less IN number than those
Of 1884, the liabilities have decreased
rearIy 90 per cent. The number of
traders reported reported in business in
1885 was 9I9, $50. OF these only one in
every sc failed. In 1878, with 6s4,000
traders, one in every 81 came to grief.
The average amount of liabilities in
each failure in 1885 was Sl1,678, against
S20,632 in 1884 and So, 1863 in 1873. 1t
is seen from these figures that while the
number of business casualties decreased
but Slightly, they are far less significant
in amount and importance.

TERRITORY.

THE EXTREME Northwest OF WASHIN GTON
TERRITORY.
Clalam county is nearly a hundred
miles lorsg, extead ding from jefferson
county on the east to the Pac1fic
ocean on the west; its average width
is about % miles. and its area is
nearly 1000 square miles. The
Olympic range Of coast mountains
extend through its entire length,
rendering the greater portion of it
mountainous and forest-covered,
with resources still undeveloped. Its
northern shore line along the Straits
of Fuca, extending from Port Dis
covery Bay to Cape Flattery, is in
dented with numerous bays and
rivers, around which may be found
the rich lowland soil that supports
its prosperous farming settlements
and makes it famous as a dairying
and stock raising section. Dunge
ness is the county seat and principal
farming community. The population
Of the county is about 1000, ana the
tax roll foots up some $250,000, with
a county tax levy OF Is Emills. OF
its annual agricultural products,
recent estimate gives, wheat, 10000
bushels; rye, /, 200; barley, 5000; hay,
300 tons; butter 25 tons; total value
100000 Live stock in the county:
horses, 273; neat cattle, $500; sheep,
1850; swine 1850. It's soil is for the
most part adapted for diversified
farming. Apples. pears, cherries,
pIums and all the hardy varieties of
fruits thrive and are produced in
abundance. Its post offices, includ-
ing Dungeness, Sequim, Port An
geles, Crescent Bay, Pyseht, Neah
Bay, La Push. Quiieute and Forks,
are supplied with mails twice week
by the Dispatch which runs from
Port Townsend in Jefferson county
to Neah Bay and way ports. The

Gated in the Quileute valley which
occupies a portion of the western end
of the colnty bordering on the Pa
eific ocean south of Cape Flattery
There is much more excellent vacant
land in the vicinity, admirably ad-
apted for agricultural purposes, and
a colony of forty or fifty families
could easily find suitable locations
therein Port Angeles is one of the
most promising localities, having not
only the best and most commodious
harbor in the county, backed by a
pleasant townsite and adjacent agri-
cultural land, but an extensive rolling
country has been discovered and
partly explored some fifteen miles
back of the harbor, reputed suitable
for stock raising on a large scale
The report of Lieut.. O'Neil, Z. S.
A, who conducted the military ex-
pedition into the foothills from Port
Angeles in August last, was that the
broken and rolling country was stu
ated between the green timber skirt
ing the straits and the foot of the
snowy mountains; that he explored
it about forty miles parallel with the
Straits, and that it had an average
width of seven or eight miles and
was capable of producing largely in
grasses and cereals. OF course it is
as yet unsuryeyed, and it also lacks
