Proven Facts.

That Olympia is The hca!thiest city
in the United States is shown by off.
cial statistics, which pa Washington
Territory at the top of the list, and by
a comparison OF the mortality records
show that the annual percentage Of
deaths in this city is less than that of
any other community.
That Olympia Is situated very near
agricultural resources Of a high order
IL shown by the mere statement OF the
fact that wheat grown on Bush prairie,
six r,ile3 from this citr, took the first
prize against the world at the Centen-
NAL Exhibition in Philadelphia.
That Olympia is el:gibly situated for
a railroad center, is amply shown by
the fact that the Northern Pacific Rail
road Co. selected it as its permanent
terminus on Puget Sound, after years
OF patient investigation, by skilled en-
gineers, Of all the conditions and con-
siderations which influence future de,
vclopment and solid growth.
That our timber resources are best
is proven by the fact tlat all orders for
extra length, size or quality Of logs
come TO Olympia, to be placed in the
many extensive logging-camps at the
head Of the Sound.
That we produce the best fruit and
vegetables is the universal testimony
of dealers and consumers at all points
on the Sound, and this fact is often
the subject Of comment by such visi
tors as travel with their eyes open.
That Olympia's financial credit ii
above par. She is, to-day, the wealth
lest city, per capita, in the Territory
Business failures are rare. Merchant,
are very generally doing business on
their own capital. The percentage Of
mortgages is small. The rates Of
wages are good. Everybody is EN-
ployed, and tramps are few.

OLYMPIA. ERIDAT EVENING, MAY 3. 1889


The little wah-wah held in Colum-
ha Hall Wednesday night vas
not without its good results.
When the gentlemen who had the
enterprise in hand entered that hall,
they had their misgivings, and wera
apprehensive of the outcome. Once
there, it dawned upon them that
among the audience assembled mum
bered but very few sfthe represen-
tive men and women of the city,
people who have plenty of this
worlds goods, both in land and the
coin of the realm. This was indeed
discournging; but they had task
before them, q statement to make, end
they proposal to speak out in meet
ing just what they thought had to
be done. 1t was this: That tho COM
munity must stnnd together and
push this grand enterprise to sue
cessful finish. There cap be no
backsliding. IT MUST BE ACCOMPLISHED.
If it is not, what will be the result
A blind man can certainly feel the
result. Olympia must throw up the
sponge and her citizens acknowledge
that they are not possessed OF eithe,
the desire to promote the welfare
of this community OF the spirit Of
enterprise that is rife in the land.
Now the plain duty of all is to help
Induce others to help. Let each
and every citizen constitute himself q
committee of one TO secure subscrip
tions to only one share stock. 1
this is done, all will he well. If the,
can do more, it will be better. Tit
farmer the merchant and the mechanic
the laborer and the capitalist, are eacf
interested, directly or indirectly. Thu
enterprise will contribute more thar
any one thing to place Olympia il
line with other cities.

DEATH OF A HERMIT.-WOrd reached
this city last evening, that an old man
named Prince, who lives below Wallace,
about two miles from Arcadia, was
found dead in his cabin q day or 90
ago. II was not known what causes
led to his death, or whether it was
natural or suicidal. Everything about
the place would indicate that it was
the result Of the latter. The deceased
had an eventful history. Some years
ago his brother, who was then the
owner OF the ranch. suioided there and
this one took possession. He was
. peculiar person living in the most
abject squalor and poverty, and utter
ly refusing to have any communities
ton with the outside world. His house
was the acme of dirt and 6lth, and hi
entire surroundings indicated more o.
the tastes of beast than human be
ing. 1t is not known whether or not HI
has any relatives living, or in what
condition he left his property. Fol
years it has been the talk of the neigh
horhood that the Old fellow was vel
OF and having no fAith in mankind
was in the habit Of buryiug his money
in out Of the way places in thickets
What disposition will be made Of his
remains is not known, but it is proba
bic the county will take care of and
inter them

illustrated folder descriptive of the
various routes Of travel by their boats.
Speaking OF the route between Tacoma

Incomparahly the most enjoyable
short trip on the Sound is that from
Tacoma to Olympia. The fastest boat

round trip between Seattle and Olym.

pecially for tourist travel, perfects the
pleasure Of journey through this en-

between Tacoma and Olympia, and
that is at Steilacoom, a quaint, Rip
Van Winkleish hamlet, such as one
might expect to find along the Hud.
son, but not away out in the wild
and woolly west"
Olympia, the capital of Washington
is pretty city, powered in huge shade
trees and surrounded ON thee sides
by dense forests. A narrow-gauge
railroad gives it an outlet direct to
Portland and the East, but people who
travel, prefer the Sound boats, and the
railroad derives most of its income
from the logging business. From
Olympia enjoyable excursions can be
made by stage or small steamer to
numerous points of interest, as well al
to fine hunting and fishing grounds
Ibis may also be said of almost any
Of the Sound cities, there being &C
many interesting features along this
grand body of water, that every town
has full list of fine attractions tt
offer.

CHIEF Justice Hanford, in a late de-
cision in Chinese habeas corpus case
at Seattle, has done more to uphold
the provisions of the Chinese exclu-
sion act than all other Justices on the
Pacific coast. Ever since the act
went into effect it has been a very
easy matter, when any of these human
Chinese ghouls desired to add fresh
stock to their harems, to send an en-
misary to Victoria, there to await the
arrivai of a Chinese steamer. The
women would be purchased for a mere
nominal sum, conditioned that they
should pass the customs officers on
this side. When the trip was 10 be
made, she was the wife Of One Lung or
Kick High, and she making affidavit to
that effect, was permitted to land. At
once che was escorted to a bsgnio,
there to lead a life OF shame. In the
case in point, this same proceeding
was gone through With, but Justice
Hanford seems to be posted, and re-
manded the woman back to the GUS
tody Of the United States Marshal, for
the reason that the following essentials
of good lawful certificate were want.
Jag in the paper shown as a passport
Of the Chinese government, viz: cit
does not show any permission from
the government 10 the woman to come
to the United States; second, it does
not contain the name of the permitted
person in her proper signature, nor at
all, nor her individual family, or tribal
name in full; third, it does not state
her aga or height; fourth, it does not
state her place of residence. The Ger
ti6cate required by section six, of the
amendatory restriction act OF 1884 is
the only evidence upon which Chi
uese person can establish . fight 70
