Hoods Canal Country.

Union City has an excellent
iand-locked harbor and many other
natural advantages by which it ex..
poets to become the chief port Of
this important waterway. It is
situated upon the canal very much
as Duluth is upon Lake Superior.
1t has no competitor on the upper
canal, and it now seems to be the
heir apparent to the greatness
that the development of this vast
region tributary to the canal will
bestow upon its metropolis. The

Webb. a pioneer on the canal, who
located upon his donation claim in

Early RecOllectiOns of the Winters
of Western Washington.

The published statement of Ed
ward Eldr:dye, Of Whatcom, that
sixteen inches in depth, was the
deepest snow he had seen on Puget
Sound during a residence of thirty
seven years, need not mislead new
corners as to the amount of snow
fall in Western Washington. Mr..
Eldredge, who is careful observer,
is doubtless correct so tar as his
locality, Bellingham Bay, is con-
cerned. That part Of the lower
Sound lying northeast OF the Olym-
plan Mountains, does not have pro-
badly more than one-tourth OF the
rain fall of the remaining part Of
Western Washington. My recol-
lections OF some OF the winters are
as to tho depth of snow about as
follows, at the head of the Sound ::
Winter of '52-'53, about Q feet;
1854, pownot quite so deep, but
the weather was excessively cold.
from Jan. 4th to Goth, 5 degrees
below zero, the coolest; 1916,
plenty of rain, but neither snow nor
ice: saw almond trees in full bloom
February %, at Luelling's Nursery
Oregon. Have probably seen a
depth of IS inches snow or more,
for six or eight winters. The deep
snow of '62-'63, fell on the 22nd of
December and lay On in the timber
till The last OF March. On Yelm
Prairie it was about half as deep
and melted off in two months. The
deep snow of 1880, that broke down
much of the Young timber around
the Sound, and was melted off in a
few days by a heavy rain, was four
feet in depth at Olympia and Seat
tie and five feet along the west side
of the Sound as far down as Pt.
Townsend. The depth of snow
along the southern slope of the
Olympian Mountains is far exceed
ing other localities. Indians who
came from the SEokomish upper
valley, during the winter, on snow
shoes, report II feet of snow on
the level. My informant is Da-
vid Shelton, of Mason county,
who has long resided in that couh-
ty. The unusual depth of snow
along Hoods canal and Pt. Town.
send, in 1880, was occasioned by a
strong, cold easterly wind, a lower
current than for two or three days,
held back or DETECTED the strong
south westerly winds to the north
west, thus preventing them from
depositing their moisture mainly
along the counties lying on the
east side Of Puget Sound. While
the depth along the Sound was
from 4 TO S feet it was only 80
inches east of the Sound 1T Slauoh h.
Ter, Green River, and at Porter's
Prairie. The annual rain fall at
Port Townsend is only from 10 tc
20 inches. At the head of the
Sound it rangis from so to 80 inch.
es: During the tifties there were
two winters that it rained nearly
all the the time. At Portland il
was reported that it raincd for loo
consecutive days. But now the
seasons have changed. The usuaI
freshets are lacking, but none com
plain.-B: f. BROWN in Olympia

this city, offered as . site for an academy
or university FIVE acres near Jackson
street. His offer was very liberal one,
but, owing to the establishment of the Gen.
tralia academy and the consequent diver
sion Of attention. nothing was done with
it, but now, after . lapse of seven years,
when the property has grown very valu.
able. Mr.. Holyoke says that his offer is
still good and that he shall give the FIVE
acres or the proceeds of its sale to the
university fund. It is worth about $40 600
In the last three years the matter has
come up several times, in response to an
urgent and crying demand for such an in
stituiion. In 1888 fourth interest in 400
acres on Chautauqua bay, on vashon is
land, was offered as site. but the location
was deemed too inconvenient. A little
later half interest in 900 acres near the
present site of Des Moines was offered,
but the eastern society objected to the To-
cation. An offer of 100 acres on Mercer
island was also refused lately. and offers of
large land subsidies were declined at Lake
Union, Ballard, American Lake and other
places. 1t was left to the members OF the
Baptist church at Kirkland to start the
last movement for raising an endowment
of land sufficient to carry the movement
through. About six weeks ago the Rev.
ID. J. Pierce. pastor OF the Kirkland church,
laid the facts before the Seattle Baptist
Ministers Association, and the result was
that corporation was formed With the re-
suit as already stated. Nearly all the dom
