addressed to this city from all parts
of our broad country. So wide-eX-
tended thirst for useful knowledge
is evidence ofthe fact that the desire
exists in the minds Of a large share
of our fellow-ctizcns to change their
surroundings, and that theireyesare
turned in the direction of the Pacific
coast. This is timely hint to our
citizens that they must be up and
doing. by taking the proper steps !

tagrs they have TO offer, we can di-
vert to this section and the rich val
ley Of which It forms a part, IA good !
share Of the flow of population that
is now pouring into Washington |

Home seekers are coming to this
coast by the thousand, and this mi
grafton will be increased the present |
year by the terrible severity Of the
past winter and the suffering intlict-
ed ON those exposed to its rigols.
