Editor Argus Il have failed to
receive the Weekly ARGUS for the last
three weeks. 1t Is a great disappoint-
mont for men living in the woods to
be deprived of their county paper,
and this too, through the cussed
carelessness of some one; either at
Port Townsend, Discovery or Leland.
There is something ''rotten in Den
mark" as proof of this l received a
short time ago q letter written at Port
Townsend that reaahed me three
weeks after it had been mailed, so
YOU see, Mr.. Editor, that it travelled
at the remarkable rate of one mile a
day. Another letter sent about the
same time was two weeks on the
road; and still we boast of having the
best mail system in the world. Well,
If the link between Port Townsend
and Leland is part of the best, may
the Lord help the poorest.
When I write 1888. l sometimes
think 1 am making a mistake and
should write 17S9. If what l com-
plain of happened once in a while, l
would say nothing, but it is almost
continuous. You have, know, spok-
en- in your paper of this matter be-
fore. Please try it once more. then
if there is no change. l will see what
the authorities at Washington, d. c.,

Rev. J. r. Thompson's letter else
where on the question of delegate to
congress will be read with some de-
gree of interest. Mr.. Thompson
comes from the temperance strong
hold of Clark county, where q bolt
was made in a body from the repub
liean ticket at the last election. It is
difficult to understand or predict just
what will satisfy this temperance
element. Itwas literally represented
in the last republican territorial con-
vention; it dictated its own terms rs
to the platform (and certainly those
platform declarations were strong
enough to suit any reasonable tenn
perance voter; it helped to name the
candidate Of the party, and was
afterwards led by traitorous republi-
cans and tricky democrats to bolt at
the polls. True, there were some in
consistencies on the republican side.
Having a temperance platform to be
carried cut under the leadership of q
central committee whose officers were
liquor dealers didn't somehow look
right to squeamish votefs-and yet it
was excused by reasonable people on
the ground that the republican party
included liquor dealers and liquor
drinkers as well as prohibitionists
and temperance people-and also be-
cause those who knew the chairman
and secretary of the central cons
mittee knew that they were honest in
supporting party declarations. Yet
the democrats made the more of the
situation, following the more polite
course themselves of ignoring the
question il their party declarations,
and nominating a candidate who
would be all things to all people for
the sake of votes, adapting himself to
local sentiment wherever he went.
He was successful along that line,
and the temperance people helped
him to defeat the only party that
had come out squarely in their favor.
Such are the peculiarities of temper
ance extremists when they go into
politics. An attempt partially suc-
cessfuD was made in the last cam-
paign to convince voters that the re-
publican candidate for delegate was
not what he ought to be on the tenn.
ance issue. The fact that he was and
is all that was claimed for MIN does
not bring him the votes he lost
through these misrepresentation
and MISUNDERSTANDING. Now, as the
way begins to open for the next cam
paign, there are already signs of
breakers, and unless the party ship is
guided by clear head and a steady
hand, there will be disaster. Un-
questionably Mr., Thompson is dis
turbed by the buzzing of the delegate
bee. 1t is likely that the future has
hattering probabilities in store for
him He generously steps aside at
this time, however, and it is intimat-
cd that his followers will not make
any serious trouble if they get '.fair"

that he Will stand by his $1,000 sub

He is also willing, as are other lead

ing to raise as much building aud

our citizens will raise at home. These
trustees include ex-Gov. Squire,
President of the board, Hon. J. r.
Lewis, an active 1rOrkiRg member,
Hon. G.. NJ Bradshaw, besides several
others who have standing, ability and
energy. Dir. Denny has materially
assisted in building prosperous and
rapidly growing city on the shore Of
Elliot Bay; he knows exactly how
that sort of thing is done, and is
willing to help the port of entry to
to grow as well-provided theport Of
entry will help itself. His subscrip-
ton is only one among many from
the outside that can be secured for
this institution by wise and liberal
course on the part of our own citizens

there that Delegate Voorhees, will not

the information is therefore supposed

Those Sub-PCrtS.

a commotiOn was raised some time
ago 10y the telegraphie announcement
that Senator Dolph had introduced
Il bill to create ports of entry at Sc
a tie and Tacoma. 1t was urged that
this was movement hostile to the
interests of Port Townsend, and that
its mover was not as friendly to Us as
we had supposed. The following
letter will throw some light on the
status of the case:
L. 5. SENATE, WASHINGTON, ID. G.
February %, 1883.
Hon. A. W. BASH, Port Townsend,
". T., Dear Sir Il see there is some
talk about the proposition to create
ports Of entry at Seattle and Tacoma
within the collection district of Puget
Sound. [ think | wrote you once be
fore that they would be created under
the proposed act substantially sub
ports of entry. There is no PROPOSE
ton TO disturb the custom house at
Port Townsend 1t will, undoubted-
ly, always remain there as that is the
place for it, and the principal object
of creating ports of entry at Seattle
and Tacoma is to authorize the ship
ment of goods from themain bond to
ports to which the privileges of the
9TH section of the act for the imnedi-
ate transportation of dutiable goods
have been extended. Truly yours,

to get seed to germinate quickly is
to soak in warm water about twelve

bushel and u peck to the acre,
or little less might do; it IS not best
to have it too thick. When sown thick
and grown small and fine it is not rs
palatable or nourishing as larger
stalks; plant on high sandy loan or
any other kind of land, In ordinary
seasons the time for sowing should
