Prosperous washington Territory,

WASHINGTON, Nov. miles G.
Moore, governor of Washington Territory,
in his annual report. says the closing year
in W~ashington's territorial existence is
one of unexampled prosperity. The pop
ulation is fully 275. 1000. 1t increased
more rapidly than in any former year.
The property valuation shows a gain OF
nearly so per cent; railroad construction
has been very active; business houses,
banking institutions, and manufacturing
establishments have multiplied. The
sales of land by the Northern Pacific and
entries at the United States land Office
were unprecedentedly large. OF great
disasters Washington had an undue share.
The business portions of four cities
Seattle. Vancouver, Ellensburg and Spo-
kane Falls, were destroyed by fire, involv-
These calamities, seriously felt as tky
are, the governor says. in no degree
threaten the prosperity of the new state.
The report shows an extraordinary in
crease in the amoun of taxable property
In the territory, raising from Sol ,562, 739
in 1887 to 1928. 1875, 449 in 1889, q gain OF
morn than 100 per cent.
OF the total area of Washington d.
7l5,25S acres have been surveyed. OF
the unsurveyed portion about seven
million acres are embraced in the coast
and Cascade ranges Of mountains and are
therefore unsuitable for settlement.
The great staple of Eastern Washing
ton, the governor says, is wheat. The
volcanic soil of that region, he says, is
particularly adapted to the growth of all
cereals. the average yield being twenty. five
and five tenth bushels per acre, which,
he says. is perhaps greater than that of
any other grain growing district in the
United States.
Corn is grown successfully south of
Snake river. The barley yield averages
thirty bushels and is of a very superior
quality, being preferred by Chicago and
Milwaukee brewers to that of any other
section. About eight and u half million
pounds of hops were grown during the
year.
Stock raising. though still q profitable
industry. the governor states, is relatively
diminishing in Importance. Lumber, it
10 stated, was the first industry developed
in Washington Territory, and it is still
the most important.
Its schools, the governor says, have
long been a source OF pride to its citizens
and liberal provisions have always been
made for their support. The salmon pack
for the year aggregated $50, 900 cases.

LONDON. March TN the commons TO-
day Lord George Hamilton, first lord OF
the admiralty, stated the government pro-
posed to build eight hrstclass men of war
OF 1900 tons each, and two OF 5000; nine
ifrstclass cruisers, twenty-nine small
cruisers; four OF the Pandora type OF cruls-
ers, and seventeen of the sharp-sho0ter
type OF torpedo vessels. The total tonnage
OF all these vessels will he $40 900 tons, and
the total cost f2l, 500 900, Lord George
Hamilton asked that 10000. 900 be appro-
priated from the consolidated fund tor the
proposed increase 0f the navy and that the
remainder OF the amount required be pro-
vided for In the ordinary estimates. lie
promised the admiralty's programme
would be executed within four aud half
years.
Hamilton said fiO,OOOOoo Of the work
would be put out at private contract while
the remainder would be done In the gov
ernment dock yard. The scheme must
stand or fall as whole; therefore he hoped
the opposition would treat the proposals In
patriotic spirit Lord Charles Beresford
complained the government gave no real
reason why just 80 many ships tno more
and no lessJ should be built He gave
notice OF Nh amendment declaring that
England's naval strength Ought TO be equal
10 the nayies OF France and any other
great power combined. The radicals will
oppose every stage OF Legislation connected
with Lord George HamiltOn's scheme. II
is expected Gladstone will lead the 0pp0sl-
tion's attack on the government.

There are only about $50 inches Of water
available from this source, coming from
large springs at the head OF Dry Creek.
This is not enough for the purpose wanted,
and II the smeter Is TO be built this season
II Is probable that work will soon be COM

water % any point on section Z, which ID

will be known until Gov. HAuser. who Ia
