rood FISHERIES.

No inconsiderable item of the natural
resources Of this region is its fisheries,
and the canning Of salmon, as noticed
elsewhere, is profitable and growing in
dustry. The salmon are large, plentiful
and Of unsurpassed quality. Some Of the
different varieties are caught at all times
of the year, and the home market is
always supplied. Rock and tom-cod,
white bass or porgies, founders, halibut,
and herring are also plentiful. Smelt and
American sardines are taken in great
numbers. These are the fish Of CONNER
cial importance, but does not include
trout which are found in abundance
Among shell-fish are shrimps, crabs
and CLAIMS of several varieties. HOLSTERS
have been planted here and are propagat-
ing very rapidly.

THE CL/MATE.

One of the chief questions asked, and
often, the FIRST is, "What OF your climate ?"
Well, many things! 1t is not perfect, bu
probably as nearly SO as you will find on
this earth. During the winter Of lS90-91
we had no snow up to the first of Febru-
airy, and then only few days OF cold and
known the thermometer stood at eighteen
degreese aboy zero.
The rainy season begins about the first
of December and is over by the
first of April. This is our winter and
during this time the rains are no heavie
than in The month Of April in the middle
states. Over half OF the days between
these dates are as warm and balmy as the
first OF June in most states north OF
"Mason and Dixon's line" Yards are
green, house plants bloom in the open
air, all kinds OF out door occupations are
pursued every day in the year. We
have no dangerous winds, no billiards.,
no sudden changes from heat to cold, and
heavy thunder is unknown.
There are no hot days in summer, the
average register Of the thermometer being
about fifty-eight degrees, and showers are
frequent enough to render absolutely sure
the maturing of any crop that is plantedr

LUMBER FOR THE WORLDS FAIR
A Convention OF Washington Lumber
men Called at Tacoma.

WALLA WALLA, Sept. 15.-Dr. N. u.
B!alock, the newly elected executive COM
missioner and president of the Washing
ton worlds fair commission, has taken
hold of the work in good earnest. Among
the first things to receive his attention
was the matter of procuring material for
the proposed state of Washington build
ing at Chicago, which is to be made an
exhibit Of itself. To canvass this matter
thoroughly with the lumber producers OF
the state, DR.. Blalock has issued the fol-
lowing:
CALL FOR LUMBERMEN's CONVENTION.
WALLA WALLA, Sept. / 1891.
To the lumbermen Of Washington In
the interest of the Washington timber
and lumber exhibit l have concluded to
call a convention of lumbernen to meet
the executive committee of the Washing
ton worlds fair commission. The con-
yention will assemble at the rooms Of the
chamber OF commerce in Tacoma, at 10
a. M, on October 6, 1891. At that time
plans for the most complete lumber ex-
hibits will be formulated. We will be
able to ascertain what cooperation may
be expected from the lumbermen, and
we can then proceed with better under
standing toward a proper organization Of
the lumber department of the Washing
ton worlds fair work. I am authorized
to state that the managers of the exposi-
ton at Tacoma will endeavor to have d
special lumbermens progam at the ex-
position for the evening after the conven-
ton. / hope every lumber making con-
Germ in the state will feel sufficient inter-
est in this important matter to select
delegate and send him to this conven-
ton. Respectfully,
N. G. BLALoCK,
President and executive commissioner of

VACANT LANDS.

There is little Government land near
Aberdeen to be taken up, except in the
unserveyed districts to the north and a
small section Of country south of the
haiuor; OF this there is yet large
amount unoccupied. Actual possession
is the only title obtainable to unsurveyed
lands, but the settler in good faith has nc
trouble to hold his claim.
From the tenor Of advices from Wash.
ington City, it is believed there will be
sufficient money obtainable to survey all
these lands within reasonable time
rendering them soon available for entry

TIMBER.

AS elsewhere stated, the lumber trade
is the chief industry of Aberdeen. To
make this prominent and enduring the
matter of supply is of vital Importance
and the requirements are fully met
North east and south of Grays harbor
there is such quantity of timber available
aat no child born into the world to-day
an expect to see it used up or even be-
ome difficult of access. The timber bear

waters OF the harbor are variously esti-
mated at from two to four thousand square
miles, and when it is considered that
there are from four to fifty million
feet to the square mile, the figures Of the

We now offer for sale a small number
of lots in the Judge Allyn tract. This is

available supply are simply enormous.
All this timber must necessity find its
way down the rivers that flow into the
harbor, and the saving of it into lumber
will alone build great city at Aberdeen.
AGRICULTURE.
While this is timber country it must
not be supposed that agriculture is ne
elected; on the contrary, along the rivers
and streams many good farms have been
cleared off that produce the finest vege-
tables in the world, grass in immense
quantities and most excellent fruit. Many
varieties Of apples, pears, plums, prunes,
cherries and small fruits are grown in
profusion and great perfection.
The best grain crop in this section is
oats, after which wheat, rye, and harley.
Corn does not do we'll, nor any crop re-
quiring hot days and nights, as these we
do not have. Beside the home market,
we have all tile world easy OF access, but
the home demand is SO great for all the
products Of the country that there is at
present no need Of shipping abroad.
For dairying there is no country on
earth superior to this With abundance
of pure water, no hot weather and unex-
celled pasturage, there is at present every
condition for successful and profitable
dairying.

have failed. There is no city in the
world better protected than Washing
ton. The plan by which the streets
enables the authorities to plant bat
teries in the circles and sweep the
thoroughfares of rioters. This plan,
credited to the combined thought Of
Washington and Lafayette, was adopt
ed in the reconstruction of Paris by
Napoleon III.
Then the fire department of the city
is of tirst-class order, and as for
troops, they abound. Besides the
large qua d of men armed with Win
chesters and revolvers within the Cap
itol and the fact that many of the
Treasury male employees have organ
lied militia company to repel raiders.
several thousand troops can be brought
into service in less than an hour. The
Washington militia numbers 1000
men, and within hall an hours march
is the arsenal whence 800 veteran ar-
tillerymen can be summoned by tele-
phone. Two experienced TROOPS of
cavarymen stationed at Arlington are
available for immediate service, while

tanned. Calling and Hotchkiss, to say
nothing of heavier guns, are plentiful.
Moreover, the mounted police are ex-
cavalrymen, and all the patrolmen
have served in the United States
army.
If this force isn't enough to put a
damper on the spirit OF the iioters a
couple of batteries OF the regular
army can be obtained from Baltimore
in forty minutes. and Ia &c force of
marines and sailors from Annapolis in
less than one hour. So that, take it
all into consideration, the probabilities
of n raid on the United States Treas
ury succeeding are very small.

Business and Tin Plate.

With the constant disbursement from
the British american free trade press,
the development OF the tin plate industry
goes forward steadily. This industry is
being established on business principles,
for business rea ons and legitimate
profit 1t is not to be expected that we
shall manufacture tin plato in this
country cry largely by the methods en-
ployed abroad.
The tin part of producing tin plate by
the Welsh method requires that the steel
sheet in timing shall be hand cd seven
times, by hand, before it is boxed for
sh pm emit The American method of
making tin plate will reduce this hand
ling by more than two thirds, and the
writer has personally examined the ma
chinery by which this is being done to
day, 1t is only reasonable to expect
that the American manufacturers will
be slow to give out information pertain
ing to this subject until the patents
may be secured on the Continent.
From the d development in the East and
West, from the personal inspection Of
plants we can safely predict that over
one-half OF the tin plate consumed in
this country will be produced here with
in twelve months
With this large production will neces-
sarily come the reduction in prices which
followed the manufacture of steel rails
& ass, pottery and all 9th r articles which
are largely manufactured in this coun-
try

Australian, Hindoo, and Chinese Compc-
tition.

Wool can be raised in Australia at half
the cost Of raising it here, as all know
Australia is under the dominion of Great
Brita n. Again. in Hlndo stan, which is
under British rule, cotton can be raised
at very small cost. There laborers
board themselves, and work for eight to
twelve cents per day. Again, on the
eastern coast Of China, the British have
a secure hold, AMI over four millions of
peope are wiling to work for ten cents
per day. 1t Is near enough to Hindos-
tan and Australia for freight on wool
and cotton to cost rot more than one
quarter OF a cent per pound.
Now, If free trade comes to the United
States, what will be the result? English
capita lists will not be slow to build and
operate large factories i'm Australia,
Hindostan, and China. In the mean
time our factories would stop, as we
could not compete with Chinese labor.
A vote to reduce the tariff is a vote for
Australian, Chinese, and Hindoo compe-
tition. Do the five mi Ion operatives on
cotton and wooden industries want TO DO

when the time comes.

sent to him yesterday evening. Among
the first callers on the Secretary were
the British minister, Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, and Sir Charles Topper. of Canada,
who talked with tho Secretary fol- an
hour, presumably about tho seal fish
cries, reciprocity and other matters now
foremost in the minds OF Canadians.
ROME. April o.-[Special In long
interview with Marquis di Rudini,
Minister Porter stated that tho United
states Government is willing to mater
tally compensate tho families of tho
New Orleans victims. but that it is i'm
possible for the Go. crnmene to place
the lynchers on trial, that being mat
ter for the grand jury in New Orleans to
decide.
The premier insisted that Italy's
dignity demanded that the culprits
should be punished.
The idea OF war is secuted here in
diplomatic and government circles.
Even Baron Fava's final withdra wal is
not definitely decided upon. 1t is said
that even if Baron Fava is withdrawn
1T will be done only as the most forcible
protest known in diplomacy and not as
the forcrunner of II conflict between the
United States and italy.
The Italian cabinet ministers are in
receipt OF large number of cablpgrams
and letters from prominent Italians in
New York City urging moderation upon
the Italian government in its treatment
of the New Orleans trouble.
LONDON, April e. Special -The

menting on the recall of Baron Fava,
says that it is probable that a rupture
between Italy and the United States
Will end after such an interval as the
dignities of diplomacy demands in COM
promise. Italy demanded Justice and
compensation The United States will
probably give the latter and deny tho
former Tho incident will not add to
the reputation OF the United States.

American constitution with all its pre-
tensions, Mr.. Blaine would be glad
enough, perhaps, to dcpose King Lynch,
but Louisiana is of different opinion
The foreign elements in the United

involving them in danger. 1t is i'm
probable that Italy will attack tho
United States, when like other coun-
tries, she has given so many hostages
to the United States.
