character that no one or two cities or
counties could justly be expected to
bear the burden, of and as the whole
state will be benefited, the public
treasury should furnish the necessary
funds.
This will be the great opportunity
of this State to attract population of a
desirable class hither, and if our legis-
lators do their duty they will not al
low it to pass. At least 100000, and
better still 100000, should be ap-
propriated, to be used in installments
covering the next three years, and the
increase of taxable property that will
be the direct result from this outlay
will soon repay it ten-fold.
Public spirit, State pride and self
interest all demand that Washington
shall not be allowed to make a beg
carly showing that will give the lie to
the just claims she makes as offering
more varied and important induce
ments for the industrious laborer and
conservative capitalist than any other
State or section in America.

The cry that protection is for the far

EASTERN WASHINGTON.
TALLY-H0 COACH.
Henry B. Clifford's Fine One Named
estate Of Washington.r

We see by the Newport Daily O6ser-
Ger that Hon. Henry B. Cliford's mail
coach, The State of Washington" is
the handsomest ever seen at Newport.
1t is equipped with "colored tigers"
after the old Southern style. The
coach is red and black, carries twelve
persons and weighs loaded over 5000
pounds. Mr.. Clifford has just started
on a coaching tour of the Southern
watering places and will no doubt talk
Washington en- route. The new State
deserves congratulations in having q
man OF Mr.. Clifford's mental caliber
and wealth to boom its resources. He
is q boomer IN the full sense of the
word. His methods are 50 novel, yet
he is SO gentlemanly and fair in his
manner, that even the citizens OF
Nashua petitioned that he return here
and speak at the opera house the
second time and on the same subject.
The taking Of his private coach on his
trip shows him to be ever ready TO
present Washington in an attractive
way.
A four-in-hand is q very expensive
luxury; experts generally rank it in
the same category with wife or q
steam yacht, neither of which ex-
travagances is to he thought Of by q
man with a moderate income. The
whole turnout cost, to begin with,
not far from S., ,0OO-a handsome, well
built coach running all the way from
81, 900 to 5000. Eight horses are ri.
most asnecessity, as the huge carriages
are heavy and unwieldy, and, it used
constantly, wear out the strength ol
the sturdiest steeds after very little
while. Then there is all the costly
paraphernalia OF silver mounted haY'
ness, iveries and so ON, while q well
instructed corps of men in the stable
to keep the whole establishment in
order goes without saying, not to
mention those imported footmen whG
sit in elevated places and gayly tool
the horn. So it Is little wonder that q
coach represents the very height o.
luxury and dazzles those who lool
upon it as it rumbles by with all due
pomp and circumstance.
As for the women, dear creatures
they are very we'll aware that they
have never tasted all the joys of lif.
until they have displayed themselves
to the gaze of an admiring public ON 4
box seat.

The Census Of Washington CmpIeted

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. 2O.-The
results of the official count of WASH
ington were sent Governor Ferry to-
day by the census bureau. The
schedules OF two enumerators' dis
tricts, however, have not been re-
ceived. The population of the State,
exclusive of this, is given at 344, ,567.
The missing districts will probably in
crease this number to about $4,000.
The population of the territory in
1880 was 75,1l6. The census office
to-day announced the result of the
count of the population of the follow
ing cities: Seattle, 1894, an increase
in ten years of 40,3S1; Tacoma, 3d.
S5S, an increase OF 34,76O. These
figures increase the first estimates for
Seattle about 1000, and reduced those
made for Tacoma about 1000. The
growth of both cities is a surprise to
the entire country.

|. Mr.. Budd gave a deed of the land

/. Mr.. Budd gave deed of the land
TO Montgomery within one month from
the time OF making final proof in the
land Office and receiving the Receivers
receipt. >. About the time of this
transaction, Montgomery purchased a
large number of other tracts of land in
the vicinity of this one, from persons
who entered it rs timber land, and he
was known to be in market as buyer
OF timber lands in that locality. 3. A
man named White spent considerable
time previous to these purchases made
10y Montgomery in exploring the lands,
and represented himself at the time
as being i'll Montgomery's employ, and
he acted us witness for nearly all the
parties who made entries of timber
lands and afterwards sold them to
Montgomery, and he was also wit
ness for the defendant, Budd, in max
ing his final proof as to this tract.
To fairly interpret this statute the
general descriptive features of. the
country to which it applies must he
taken into account. In each of the
States named there is diversity of
climate, timber, soils and natural
formations; this is especially true Of
Washington, which may be taken as
representative of all, for the purpose
of more minute and particular de-
scription. Within this State are
mountains, hills, plains, valleys, rivers,
lakes, seas, forests, prairics, and mines
OF coal, iron and almost every kind OF
minerals. 1t is divided by the Cascade
range OF mountains, running north
and south across its entire breadth
East OF the mountains the country is
generally timberlcss, and the land is
good and easily brought under cult
vation however, it is not all of this
description there are in this part Of
the State small areas of timber of good
quality, and the land is of inferior quail
lity for agricultural purposes, though
not barren. These timbercd tracts
answer the description in the statute
OF the lands unfit for cultivation, and
chiefly valuable for timber, and they
are within the limits of the public
surveys made and being made rs rap
idly rs appropriations can be obtained
for the purpose.
All OF the State west of the noun
tains is a timbered region, though there
are a few small prairies. The river
bottoms and valley lands having I:ch
alluvial soil are considered good farm
ing land, although, in its natural state,
it is covered 'y Il dense growth of al
der, ash, cottonwood and maple timber
which is useful and valuable for fuel
and many other purposes. The stumps
and roots of this timber soon decay
after the trees are cut down, and in
two or three years time they can be
easily and cheaply removed, and the
land then yields beautiful crops of
vegetables, grass, hops, grains and
fruits. Fortunes have been made out
OF the produce o! comparatively small
farms of this quality of land by men
who, without capital, took the land in
the rough and by their own hands i'm
proved and cultivated it. This class
OF land, although valuable for timber,
is not chiefly SO, and is not unfit for
cultivation, because it can be profitably
cleared, improved and cultivated.

THAT NEW GAS GUN.
Trial Of the Marvellous Rifle Invented
by M. Giffard.
London Daily News.

London Daily News.
AT the headquarters of the Lon Ion
Scottish Rifles yesterday afternoon
some interesting experiments were
conducted with NJ. Paul Giffard's ap-
plance for the employment of lique-
fed gas as IN explosive-or, to be
more strictly accurate, one should say
as means of propelling projectiles-
in place OF gunpowder. NJ. Paul Gif-
fard's scientific reputation rs inventor
of the pneumatic tube, and of the
" Giffard injector" so largely used in
connection with steam power, stands
SO high that any invention to WHICH
his name was attached would be
worthy of attentive consideration.
The weapon not introduced by him,
however, is something more than an
ingenious appliance; it is q discovery
which promises not only to revolu-
tionize the gunmaker's art but is ap-
plicable also to many other purposes
as a motive power. Those who are in
terested in the Giffard gun claim that
it is the military weapon of the future.
The idea of using liquifed carbonic
acid gas as prop ,llsive power is not
new, but NJ. Gitfard is the first who
has turned it to practical account.
The gas gun is a model of SIM
plicity, SO far as one can Judge without
examination of the discharging mech
anism, in which much of the merit OF
Mr.. Giffard's invention lines. A small
cylinder, called a cartouche, is at
tached to the barrel of a rifle OF
smooth-bore gun. This cylinder con-
tains liquid gas enough to discharge
220 shots, equal to about 30 bullets OF
an ordinary service rifle, with a ve-
locity sufficient to kill at 800 yards.
There is no other explosive. The pei
let is simply dropped into an aperture
of the barrel, which is hermetically
closed by pressing small lever, and
the loading is complete. When the
trigger is pressed small quantity oil
liquifed gas becomes released and ex.
pands in the breech chamber. There
is no louder report than the drawing
lof champagne cork makes; NO
smoke, and no fouling of the barrel
In all these respects NJ. Gifard's gas
gun seems to fulfill the requirements
of an ideal weapon for warfare; but
whether in other respects liquified gas
has advantages over ordinary explo-
sives for military purposes remains to
be proved. The inventor says there
would be no difficulty in refilling the
cylinders with gas on the battle field
but it is obvious, even if that be the
case, that reserve cylinders would
have to be supplied to each man in
order to make up the number oI
rounds now thought to be necessary
and as bullets would OF necessity be
carried in addition the ammunition
for gas gun would weigh just as
much as ordinary cartridges, weight
for weight.

act already exceeds 100000, and more
are constantly coming in. When the

the estimate of 100000 applications

not less than $4,000 applications fo,

Its Extraordinary Points Graphically De.
scribed by an Englishman.
Talleyrand, the French statesman and
diplomat, died May II, 1888, aged eighty
four. He saw, perhaps, as many: politi-
cal changes in the course of his lifetime
as any prominent person mentioned in
history. On taking the oath to the new
system of things, eight years before his
death, he said: "This is my thirteenth
Il hope it will be the last" A contem-
porary English writer, speaking of Tai
leyrand and his brilliant apothegms,
said: "What are they all to the practi-
cal skill with which this extraordinary
man has contrived to battle ali the ca
lamities of thirty years, full of the ruin
of all power, ability, courage and for
tune. Here is the surveyor of the age
of the bastile, the age of the guillotine,
the age of the prison-ship, the age Of
the sword. And after battling the re-
public, the democracy, the despotisrn
and the restoration, he figures in his
eightieth year as the Ambassador to
England, the Minister of France, and
retires from both offices only to be the
chief counselor, almost the coad iutor, Of
the King. That where the ferooity OF
Robespierre fell, where the sagacity Of
Napoleon fell, where the experience of
the Bourbons fell, this one old man, q
priest, in land Of daring spirits

door he made his way into the room,
lit the gas and dragged in the box. His
name in plain black letters caught
his eye at once, and, maryeling greatly
as to its contents, he looked about him
for means to open the box.
AS he took off the cover a pleasant
spicy odor diffused itself through the
room, and little note was seen lying
on the heavy paper that securely hid
from view the contents below. He tore
open the note and read-read easily
enough, for the old.fashioned charac-

the hand that had wrought them had
trembled not little in the writing.
