BEAUTY AND UTILITY Since assum-
ing his duties as City Assessor, MIR.
Jno. NJ. Swan has compiled volume
containing neatly executed sectional
plats of the whole city of Olympia.
The deliberately displayed title page
reads as follows: d" Register of lots,
blocks and tracts or parcels of land
within the corporate limits of the
city of Olympia, as shown by the
official plat on file in the office of the
City Clerk, February Is, 1885. "
Between each plat are properly
ruled leaves for receiving the names
of parties to whom property may be
assessed. Thus it will he seen that
by checking each entry, mistakes in
omissions and double assessments
will be impossible. BY means of an
index, any piece Of land can be cas-
lily found and traced through all its
boundaries. A few blank pages
have been bound 10 the volume for
future additions. Mr.. Charles +.
Sears, civil engineer, superintended
the draughting of the plates. Both
gentlemen deserve the thanks of our
people, Mr.. Swan for the concep-
ton and Mr.. Sears for the execution
of this important work.

An Immigration Room.

There is an immigration boom at
Mckenzie. Messrs. Cannon u jack
sou, real estate agents, have sold to
northern settlers 80 or 40 farms to
date, and some city property. This
is the result Of the cooperation of
those who have land to sell with the
real estate agents. The landholders
placed their lands in the hands of
Cannon d jackson, entered into cons
tract for twelve months by which the
agents had sole right to sell at the
stipulated or contract price, and thus
the agents were able to thoroughly
advertise the lands in their hands by
circulars, through the Bureau Of Ag-
riculture, Statistics and immigration
and otherwise. They were also justi-
fed in giving much of their atten lion
to the matter and the result is boom
that has placed the Mckenzie section
far in advance of any other point in
the state, securing Northern settlers
and capital, The plan 50 successful
there is necessary to success every.
where. If community desires to
reap the fruits of this immigration
movement it must sustain real estate
agents. Thorough cooperation be-
tween the people and agents must ex-
list. 1t must be made to the interest
of the agents to advertise and work
the business, and this is impossible
without giving them exclusive right
to sell at a contract price within a
contract time. So long as the people
depend on their sections to effect
trades and try to use the agents as
eats paws, there will be failure. The
agents are necessary to bring the SELL
er and buyer together, and this work
the agents will not do unless protected.
After some experience and more OBJ
servation we are confident that the
progress Of the immigration move
ment and the movementAof capital
will be slow to any community with
out active real estate agents. The
only way to have active real estate
agents is to make it to their interest
to push the, business for all its worth.

tame d Co., will say: The outlook is
anything but encouraging. Hot, dry
weather prevailed during the past
month and did serious injury to the
growing crops. Arkansas, Mississip.
pi and Tennessee have suffered most,
and the fine prospects for a large yield
of the staple which were indicated in
our July report have been mates
rally changed. A severe drouth, to,
gether with shedding and rust, have
caused damage to the growing cotton
plant in almost every locality Of the
district, excepting Alabama, where
the injury has not been so severely
felt. A careful compilation of the
200 responses from correspondents,
which bear average date of Sept. l,
show that cotton has been injured %
per cent. in Arkansas, 81 per cent. in
Mississippi, 26 per cent. in Tennessee
and 81 per cent. in Alabama. The
drouth still continues and it is fair tC
presume that some further injury viii
be reported. Notwithstanding this
reported damage, the yield of the dis
trict promises to exceed that Of las
year. Picking has commenced in al
the four states and will become geDer
al throughout the district by the 2Otl
Of September.
Corn has suffered from drouth, bu
not to the extent of cotton, and tn

MISAPPREHENSION.
A Card from the Secretary of the state
Board of Health.


EDS. RECORD UNION: As there seems to
be a general misunderstanding upon the
subject of quarantine, and the appropri-
alton of $4,000 for that purpose asked for
by the Board of Health, and as the San
Francisco papers-Bulletin, Examiner, Cal
and Ctronicle-are all fighting against the
appropriation, ask a small space III your
valuable journal to disabuse the public
mind, and especially the San Francisco
press. of the idea that this appropriation is
for the purpose of either purchasing quar-
antine grounds, erecting quarantine build
ings. or admitting Chinese INTO this State.
The facts are that at the last meeting OF the
State Board of Health, the subject under
discussion being the best means OF pre-
venting the admission OF infectious disease
into the State. it was proposed by the full
Board that DR.. May, Chairman OF the Com
mittee on WAYS and Means, be requested
TO ask in his appropriation bill for the sum
of not less than $50, 900, to be placed in the
general fund for the use of the State Board
Of Health. and under the control of his
Excellency the Governor, and the State
Board of Examiners. This fund was only
to be used if necessary to guard the
State against the Introduction of infectious
diseases. and was not intended to be used
to purchase quarantine grounds or erect
buildings in San Francisco bay, or any
where else. or used at all except in case of
necessity, and then only on requisition of
the State Board of Health and with the
consent of the Board of Examiners. In all
human probability we will have cholera
here this summer. Yellow fever is now in
Guavmas; smallpox is in the southern
part of the State, and it requires no fore
sight to see that if it Is not stopped it will
spread all over the State. The only means
of so doing is by quarantine, both by land
and sea, and this cannot be done without
money There is no money allowed by
the State for that purpose. The last SEES
sion of the Legislature appropriated $500,
and with that small sum we, aided by the
officers of the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company, kept yellow fever out of the
State This year we will need much more,
if we desire an efficient quarantine; and,
if this appropriation is denied the State
will be absolutely helpless in case of cpl
demic diseases invading its borders.
The State Board of Health has no Ill
terror object to serve, and none except the
welfare of the State. 1t has no interest in
quarantine grounds or quarantine build
ing, or expanding State money except in
the interest of the public health, and when
cholera comes, or smallpox, or yellow
fever is spreading death and desolation
around our homes, the Board of Health
will have the satisfaction, at least, of know
ing that it asked the means of averting
these evils and. if denied, will be able to
acquit itself of all responsibility in the
premises, and place the blame where it be-
longs. GERARD q. TYRRELL, NJ. D.,
