PORT ANGELEs, WASHINGTON.
4 CITY OF Great Promise Railroads
Making for lt-A HarbOr unsur-
pasSed in the World.

Wi'hOutany boom or attempt al
initiation of values, perhaps no plac,
on the entire coast has made sucf
rapid stridesin i'm substantial growth
as this Gate. City to the Northwest
This is owing to its most favorable
location aud to the further fact that
most of the immigration Is toward
the CLOVER Sound" ..
Port Angeles is situated ON the
Straits of Fuca, sixty miles from the
ocean, and possesses the only harboT
of safety on the American side OF
the straits. 1t is forty miles nearer
the ocean than Port Townsend, di
rectly opposite Victoria, b. c., and
the harbOr is not surpassed by any
other in the world. 1t has the un-
qualified Endorsement of every sea
captain aud ship owner Of the Pa
cifc coast. The entire corps of engi-
npers of the United States coast sur
vey have also given it their fullest
Endorsement.
Three railroads have incorporated
to make this place their terminus.
The Union Pacific will be the first
to do this. Already this company
is building large wharves and ware
houses there and are making other
substantial improvements, buying
land and preparing for the improve
ments, buying land and prepa ing
for the great future in store for the
place. Railroads seek it owing to
ITS fortunate location in being so
situated that all ocean commerce
must pass here before other ports
can be reached. and the road which
has this city for terminus can
make the first bid for this great
ocean traffic. Then the place is
backed by mighty forests of cedar
and fir timber, great coal fields, and
one of the richest agricultural dis
tric;s Of over three townships in the
eutire state of Washington.
Already there are about 1900 pop
ulatiOn Of the city and this number
is being added to daily by an i'm
mense influx of.people. About sew
enty-tive new buildings are i'm course
of construction. The present con-
gress. will make Port Angeles IA
port of entry.

Of Gas.
Norning Columbian, April IL
rLore ia no doubt that a great dis

vi ' netroleum gas, but only swamp
md would soon be exhausted.
sho,r belief was founded on the fact
,hst sand mud had beer found by
80 drill. Yesterday morning the
was still burning brightly.
,yo,t was commenced on the well,

T.,le can be doue toward prospect
,ao vith the crude instruments now

.rudt will soon have their boring
machinery here and will go to work
inspecting in earnest.
Natural gas was discovered in
r,viug quantities, and its "boom"
b.s,p in 1855. At the end of three
rasr its annual displacement of
so,l rDs 15,9O9,OOO tons, estimated
in value at $2O,COo,OOO, which is be-
rsrei to be only absut half the rate
oftbe present displacement. There
ara now more than nine thousand
miles of mains, exclusive of smaller
Opyeying pipes. The cheapness of
the gas and the enterprise of
strongly competing companies have
been the principal stimulants in its
introduction. These competitions
have resulted in the rapid acquire
msut and development of territory,
and in very many cases it is fur
nished free to consumers. Not
counting the hundreds and thou
ands of companies that have
organized to prospect, bore wells,
strike water and quit business, the
total capitalization in the name Of
natural gas in this country exceeds
slOO,OOO,00O. Recent as has been
the great use of natural gas, it has
been known for many years. For
example, Fredonia, N. Y, has been
using 1t for half a century. Gen

Dr. Richardson cites the Jews as

thing astounding. Oppressed by
cruel laws in the past, and living in
sbodes where Others must have died,
they yet contrive to exist. The ex-

gable apostle of Hygeia is that
