OLYMPIA. WASHINGTON ter.
OLYMPIA, FRIDAY EVENING, aug. Is, 1856
THE GOOD TINE COMING.

There cannot DC reasonable uOuDt
but that our Territory is on the verge
of a season Of prosperity that will
soon be felt in every artery OF trade and
industry. This prospect is based upon
tangible realities, enterprises already
begun and conditions which are no.
liable to change until full fruition OF
the most sanguine hopes of our people
are realized. The main source of this
current of activity will be the gigantic
work already begun by the Northern
Pacific Railroad in the construction of
the Cascade Division. The demand
made for labor by this company has
already absorbed large proportion OF
the available bone and sinew, and the
roll is still open for all who possess the
physical strength and will to engage in
the hard work which railroad con-
struction over mountain range and
through walls of adament involves.
The tunnel will not be completed for
several years, and the total expendi-
lures Of the company for labor and
supplies will aggregate about eight
millions of dollars, most of which will,
necessarily, be distributed among the
people of the Territory. And this is
by no means the full extent of rail-
road development in the Territory.
Innumerable lines are projected in
Eastern and Western Washington, and
not few are under construction.
The hop crop this season will bring
nearly million dollars to our people
which o few months ago, nobody
dreamed was within the bounds o.
probability. This will relieve the EN-
embarrassment of growers, WHO have
been waiting so patiently for reviva
of this industry, and benefit directly
and indirectly every branch of trade
This, of itself, would ordinarily have
been hailed as the harbinger of goot
times.
Lumber remains firm with pros
pect of decided improvement. Thu
demand for many months past, while
il has not been brisk has been steady
and the traffic in healthy state, in
dicating conditions that are infinitely
preferable to the fevered state of bust
ness which are marked by high price'
and rapid fluctuations.
The crop of cereals in Eastern Wash
ington promises fair, with 'prospec
of shortage in the foreign product
This means, with the completion, o
the Cascade Division, and way opened
to market ct reasonable rates for trans
portation, an ample profit to the farm
ers of the interior. Other crops ar
nip to the average and are 80 far ma
tured as to leave no doubt OF an am
pie yield. This resource alone ha
been the dependence many years which
have been considered of fair repute
from a business standpoint.
1t seems to the writer, that enough
of the elements Of prosperity have bee,
enumerated to demonstrate that, if in
deed Coming events cast their shad
ows before" the first months of 1SS'
will witness the dawn of a season o
prosperity seldom felt by any people
Nor will ne have to wait that long be
fore the preliminary effects become
manifest. The approaching Fall sea
son will be marked by unusual activ
ity, thus bringing the realization o
these hopes as an almost immediate re
suit.

CENTRALIA, Aug. II, 1886.

A TERRIBLE account is given by the
press dispatches of the effects of for
est fires in Wisconsin, the past few
days. 1t seems that general con-
flagation, has been raging in the forests
in the northern tier of counties, de-
stroying hundreds of homes, scores of
sawmills and lumber camps, hundreds
of cattle and millions of feet of tim
Der. But this is not the most serious
loss, by far. Human life has been
sacrificed to an alarming extent, while
500 families has been rendered home
less and many have been suffering
from starvation. While not more than
a dozen cases OF human cremation
are reported, it is believed that in tho
backwoods, remote from settlements
many lives have been sacrificed. Al
last accounts the fires were abating.
