NOTE FROM MIR. BAGLEY.

SEATTLE. April IL, 1891
To THE EDITOR: The writer does not often
apologize for anything he has written, but he
feels that perhaps IL lie his duty to do so now
The resolution introduced on Thursday night in
the board of aldermen and the ACCOMMODATING
remarks have convinced him OF the necessity. so
he humbly apologies 10 Mess-s. Hall, Pontiua
and Bogardus for not naming them in his news
paper article as the members of the board who
always try TO do their cuty as legislators Three
from seven leave four. This is mentioned Incl
den,slly as mathematical proposition that will
not be denied
Mr.. koru alleges thst age frees him ard
Messrs, Miller and snyder from liability TO psy
poll tax He does not allege the same reason
for their course as eoaneilnaen.
II the name OF Frank y. Wilcox appears on the
city tax roll the city treasurer unable to end
II when asked TO do so. The presumption 10 that
Mr. Wilcox has paid his poll tax and has his re-
eeipt for the same. The charter provides that
each member of the board of aldermen shall hs
freehclder. and therefore, 10 be eligible TO the
position he holds, the gentleman named was OF
course the owner of real property in the city a.
the time OF his election. although the tax roll
appears 70 be silent on the matter
Hoping that this apology and explain alton win
be TAKEN in the kindly sriri, 1t is offered. the

and communistic legislation. He shows
pretty conclusively that there was no
ground for the charge that certain act re-
lating to redemption Of loans can have the
effect Of scaling down existing credits. It
is not at all retroactive, but simply pro-
vides that there shall BE- two years for re-
demption On futsrs loans, Of which the
lender, Of course, has due notice, and mo-
body can object. Az to the whole series Of
nnisrepresented measures he tells very
straight story and sustains thsm BY docu-
mentary evidence. The devics of misquot-
ing and incorporating Il not only bad
morals but - the worst policy possible in
fighting new movement like this Ali
ance business. It intensifes and cements,
where under perfectly honest and fair
treatment they would quite probably soon
fall to pieces.

Attention is once more directed to the
serious fact that citizens are registering
very slowly Notwithstanding the impor-
lance of the forthcoming election. 1t is
noticeable that the registration is lightest
from the Sixth and Eighth wards which
are most deeply concerned in the result
of the election. There will be no nominal.
ing convention, and if care is not exercised
certain interests viii succeed in running in
candidates to fill the vacancies in the
Board of Aldermen who will not repre-
sent those wards which are now practically
unrepresented in the Board.

Tho Mouth Of the Nooksack.
Whatcnm ReYeille.

seanil, an old Lummi chief, died about twenty
years ago, aged 20 years, and remembered when,
during his boyhood, no water came through 70
Bellingham bay from the Nooksack. This must
have been eighty years ago or about 1910. Even
forty years ago the main channel was through
what is now slough, into Lummi bay. During
these forty years the tide fats have advanced
nearly mile, and It behooves US to again turn
the water back into Lummi bay, that the deposit
of glacial debris may not interfere with naviga-
ton. The bay, naturally, il from six 70 ten
fathoms deep anywhere, which makes Il the
finest anchoring ground in the Sound, and by no
neglect should the natural advantage OF the
harbor become lessencd. The debris from the
mills seems to affect only the shore lands, butin
time even the deposit Of sawdust viii BE- found
detrimental Formerly sternwheel boats ran up
into the mill-pond with the tide; in latter years

Tombstone epitaph., 1891-02-22

A TELEGRAM received at the PROs- PECTcR office last night gave the grati flying information that the lies coun. ty scheme had been put to sleep by a vote of 10 to ? in the Council. The two who voted for it were Peters and Hughes. This ends the division scheme, for the present at least. It now would become the Legislature to pass Jill embracing the idea of never allowing a division of county with. out vote of the people directly in terested. The county division dodge will always be used as fulcrum upon which rests the lever which moves more important legislation. It is an expensive machine and should be placed outside the machinations of a half dozen wire pullers who seek self aggrandisement at each session Of a Legislature.

when he landed fine fish, then the second and third, and the rest had not gotten bite, Tevis was in high glec, and was induced to laugh at his unlucky comrades. By and bye one of the party, curious 10 know how Captain Tevis had caught six large fish, while the balance of the party had not even got bite. arrived at Tevis' side just as that gentleman landed an. other whopper. The intruder thought the fish very limp on the hook, and taking hold of it was astounded 10 find that Captain Tcvis had caught a fried fish; in fact already salted for eating. Looking at the fish and then at Te,is, the assemblyman from Yav- apal exclaimed, "Tevis. have always heard that the Salt river was remark. ,ble for its productions, but d-n if ever thought that peach pies grew on }he trees and flied fish swan in he river" Tevis looked at the fish or q second and exclaimed in disgust, "well, d-n that Cninaman."

A PETITION is being circulated 8

A PETITION is being circulated and is being very generally signed asking the Governor to recommend suitable legislation for the arming and equip. ment of company of rangers to op. pose the renegade Apaches who are constantly terrorizing this section Of Arizona. There is no disgusting the fact that there is a reign of terror ex- isting at the present t'me throughout southeastern Arizona and northern Sonora. People are afraid to look af CT their herds. Prospectors are afraid to work their mining claims or prospect for new diggings. No one knows when or where he may meet his death at the hands of these small hands of Indians. Ran hers are nov Ing in from the more exposed places. The military do not try or are not capable of protecting the settlers who have lived among us for ten years waiti ilg for better times, when they might enjoy the fruits of their toil
 Robinson, Bridges, Hardy and Smith are last years offerings which should appeal to the reason of the Executive and our Legislature All of these men were killed within short distance of each other by the same band and the marauders are still at large. Our only salvation IS in some relief from the civil authorities. We have suffered ten years without murmer. We have right to demand protection of a government we help support and we ask it in the name of simple justice.
Tombstone epitaph., 1891-02-22

PRIVATE advices from Phenix state that the election bill will pass and that it will allow all persons to vote who have declared their intentions to become citizens, thus undoing another of the un-American acts of the last legislature. It is but just and right that the obnoxious law requiring a voter to live in the country five years before he can have say in the affairs of his adopted country should be re- pealed. It will be another barrier removed, which acts as an obstacle to the settlement of our valleys. Taxa tion without representation is bad label to be on any statute book and a desirable class of emigrants will never come to Arizona to acquire homes win such impediments in the road.

 health resort" is again bubbling with excitement, the like of which is not even within the ken of the oldest citi- zen. Early in the present decade
 prominent journalist of this city dis covered in rugged and precipitous detile" of the Santa Catalinas the ruins of long lost pueblo, adjacent to which were numerous shafts that had been sunk in ages past. for in one of them was a giant suhuara fully 70 feet high, only small portion of
 which appeared above the surface.
 Before the scribe could locate a cor
 ner lot or catch pre- historic subscriber he was compelled to flee for his life from numerous bear, and in his flight fired the specimens of orc he had gath cred at his pursuers, since which all trace of this nook in those bulwarks to the "sapitarium of the southwest" were supposed to have vanished. A few years later, while hunting for this relic of the past, the editor discovered in one of the box-canyon cliffs an old weather worn iron door leading to an ancient Jesuit mine, the seclusion of which was so perfect that it was not necessary to be made matter of record. Lately new and important discovery has been made, being the finding of a flight of stone steps lead ing down into veritable cryptogram of workings, which show ruby and na- tive silver in vast extent, sparkling with gold. And the most wonderful thing of all, which the post ed few have been trying to keep quiet, is that ,he old iron door has been found 10 be another opening to this treasure vault, which is now known to lie immedi ,te- iy beneath the "lost pueblo" of the first find. There is trouble and dis content. here, however, over the fact that this discovery is so close 10 the Pinal line that that county may claim it, and it is proposed to introduce a bill in the Legislature that shall cut off liberal slice of Pinal and insure this new discovery 10 good old Pima and her sanitarium X.

THE PROsPECToR charged, short time since, that government agents were iu the neighborhood of Smiths ranch, in the Chiracahua mountains, docking for fresh victims for their drag nets." This has not pleased the timber agent for Arizona, MT. Hawk who states to the Citizen that he has not been in the mountains alluded to since November 25th, and tbat "the Smith brothers had not fenced gov ernment land as he knows of" With all due respect to Mr. Hawk, the PRosPECToR wishes to state that if he does not know of any other "special
 agents" being in search of settlers who have fenced government land he is not up to snuff. He we'll knows, and so do the people of Cochise county, that recent efforts to convict several settlers for unlawfully fencing land which was not surveyed, was abortive, and that the gentlemen who were ar rested and taken from Wilcox to Tucson were promptly discharged, although they were and now are liv- ing on fenced government land. When the PRosPECToR spoke of the two "government buzzards" being in the neighborhood of the Smith ranch it knew what it was talking about. They may have been imposters, but it IS not at all likely. As far as Nil. Hawk is concerned, he is no doubt doing his duty. It is not the individual but the agents of damnable system which the people are opposed to. The Indian

policy and white policy are both ob- noxious as carried out by the general government. They are twin rclics of a wrong system, and when the press speaks out against them both in the same breath it is done to call the at tention of the government to the wrongs the people of Arizona are en. during to keep alive a lot of hungry officials, whose whole aim seems to be to make hay while the sun shines.
