He takes the l~ivcliest interest i'm the

the largest one measuring 4Ix21. Cases

Shelton, the county seat and the
metropolis of Mason county, is
growing town Of about 600 in
habitants. Though almost new
town, it has many substantial i'm
provemente which indicate that it
is planted on the Big Shook um
arm four own Puget Sound to stay.
Chief among these improvements
that give Shelton prominence are
the Satsop and the Mason County
Central railroads. In the latter
Tacoma people are interested: The
Satsop railroad is by far the largest
exclusively numbering railroad on
the Sound, and this company is
fully equipped, with everything
essential to it's business and spar.
ing no expesne to secure the best.
The owners are now building a
large store, 80 100, two stories,
a turn table and machine shops,
which will be furnished with every
needed machine. They have at
present but two locomotives, hav-
ing sold their largest to the Seattle,
Lake Shore & Eastern, but in it's
place will be one of the finest of
engines shortly. A locomotive of
forty tons with all the latest i'm
provements is now being bnilt by
the Baldwin Locomotive works at
Philadelphia. Although the larg-
est interests of Shelton are center
ed on the the lum bering industry
it has grown in buildings and pop
nlatlon to a surprising extent.
There are now more than a dozen
buildings of all classes going up,
and all he carpenters available
twenty-five or thirty-are constant
ly at work. There are several be-
ginnings of towns in Mason county,
Skokomish, Kamilchie, Allyn and
Detroit, and they are all Situated
in good regions and have good
prospects. Shelton has daily steam
boat communication with the cities
of the Sound, and it's three
steamboats, enjoy thriving bust
ness in the passenger and freight
traffic, all of which goes to show
that Shelton is growing with the
country.

Section one, of article vi, of
our state constitution, says: Call
male persons of the age OF twenty.
one years or over possessing the
following qualifications shall be
entitled to vote at all elections:
They shall be citizens OF the Uni
ted States, provided, that Indians
not taxed shall never be allowed
the elective franchise: provided,
further, that all male persons who
at the time of the adoption of this
constitution are qualified electors
Of the territory shall be electors.
They shall have lived in the state
one year, and in the county ninety
days, and in the city, town, ward
or precinct thirty days Immediate
~ preceding the election at which
they offer to VOTE" Thus it shows
that those who have resided with
in Washington for six months pri-
or to the adoption Of the Const1-
tuition, having other necessary
qualifications are now electors,
while those who came within the
six months must be twelve months
resident. 1t also says that "1n-
dams not taxed shall never be al
lowed the elective franchise" and
by further proviso. "that all male
persons who at the time of the
adoption are qualified electors of
tho. territory shall be electors"
Many Indians voted, and even a.
the constitutional election, so the
two provisions seem to constitute
a point to be settled.

A Washington correspondent
says: There is no doubt that the
committees on territories, both of
the house and senate, will promptly
urge the admission of Wyoming:
but, after all, Idaho may not even
be recommended for admission.
During the past year both of these
territories went through the forms
prescribed for the admission of
new states, and adopted constitu-
tions. That of Idaho contains a
test oath, the taking Of which ex-
cludes the citizens from participa-
ton in or belief in, or practice OF
polygamy; and the failure to take
that oath, DISTINGUISHES all Nor
mons. The constitutionality OF
this Test Oath has recently been
argued before the Supreme Court
of the United States, and that
august tribunal will decide, prac-
tically, the admission of Idaho. Ii
the Supreme Court decides tina,
the Test Oath is constitutional,
5000 Mormons will be disfran-
chised. If the decision shall be
that the Test Oath is unconstitu.
tional, then Idaho will not even
ask for admission, but will remain
in territorial vassalage until the
lust evil is otherwise trampled up
ON and destroyed. There is good
reason to believe that the decision
of the Court will be in favor oil
Test Oath; hence, we may look for
two new states to come into the
Union, during the present congress.

Hoods canal, the large branch
of Puget Sound, has its head in
Mason county, lying southwest OF
Kitsap and having an area of 800
square miles. The chief industry
of Mason, like Kitsap, is lumber
ing, and it's features are much the
same. 1t has excellent agricu ltur-
al resources, and hay, wheat, oats
and fruits are produced richly.
There is considerable prairie coun-
try and stockraising is carried on
to large extent. One fourth of
the land is tillable, all the remain
der being timber. The soil is rich
river bottoms with uplands. 1t is
excellent for fruits.
There was heavy immigration
into Mason during the year. The
Puget Sound & Gray's Harbor was
completed from Kamilche to Mon
tesano, Chehalis county, thirty
miles during the year. There are
several logging railroads. They
are the Satsop, ruuuing to the
headwaters of the Satsop river;
the Mason County Central, termin-
ating at Shelton and built during
the year; the Clifton, at the head
of Hoods canal, four miles, with
branches; and the Coulter, at the
head Of North bay, four miles.
The county seat is Shelton, 800
