CORRECT, As USUAL

The HERALD took the position at
the time a howl was being made for
an extra session of the legislature on
the prctense that il was needed in
order TO secure the state lands coded
by the general government, that the
matter could be arranged without an
extra session. Acknowledgement w.
Z. Jones, who has been to Washington
on an GRAND connected with those
affairs, has returned and is now in
Olympia, where he has submitted the
result of his conference with the sec
rotary of the interior to Governor
Ferry, and concerning those results he
has said to a Tacoma Globe reporter
the following;
To begin at the beginning OF this mat
ter. let me tell you that there are about
10000 acres OF state lands. independent
OF the school lands, which are involved in
this question. Section 10 OF the enabling
act provides that all lands that 90 TO the
state as Indemnity or In quantity shall be
selectcd by the state. under direction of
the secretary OF the Interior department.
The legislature OF the state construed the
provisions OF the act 10 mean that the
secretary OF the interior should direct
and Indicate In what manner the se-
lections should be made. According
~, at the last session. the lepjsla-
ture enacted law providing for the
selection OF these lands. and making pro-
visions Tor the examination Of them, the

appointment Of cruisers to inspect them
as fast as they ara made. That act by its
own terms did not go into effect until the
secretary OF the interior had promulgated
the rules and regulations for the direction
OF the state officers and the various local
land offices. When this fact is considered
1t will be seen at once that the state was
powerless to do anything toward the Sc
lection OF these lands until the secretary
OF the interior had taken the necessary
steps to set the law In operation. Until
this had been done not cruiser could
have been appointed, nor could the state
land commissioner do any act toward the
acquisition OF these granted lands.
ut was for the purpose of securing the
necessary action from the interior de-
partment that l visited Washington.
Through the courtesy of the different
officials connected with that department,
these rules and regulations have been
promulgated and pushed through the va
rlous divisions with celebrity unusual in
that branch of the government service.
These directions are really only instruc-
lions to the local land officers as to what
officers they shall recognize and what ac
ton they shall take in the reception and
transmission of lists Of selections that
may be made to the department of the
interior. | was assured before | left the

Back of here stretches the SkaQitValley,
one OF the richest possessions OF the state;
It's resources are nnbounded, coal mines,
iron mines, marble Quarrles and vast tim
Der sections, hundreds OF acres Of which
have as yet been untouched by the ak, all
show that Its mineral deposits are Of the
very Kind needed TO make this coun
try second Pennsylvania, or
new northern Alabama. The mountains
are full OF ore, as surface scratching has
Indicated and the ore is of the best and
OF the richest quality. This port will be
the natural outlet for these developments
and is why the northern part of the
Sound Will eventually dominate its COM
merce.
Puget Sound, as the whole inland sea
to the southwark is called, is reached
through the Straits Of Juan de Fuca, and
Bellingham Bay, upon the shores OF
which this town is situated, marks the
easterly boundary OF the Straits, and are
thus directly open to the sea. Far to the
southwark, through intricate passages.
past numberless good harbors and por s
capable OF attracting large interior traffic,
lie the cities OF Tacoma and Seattle, mar
velous examples of rapid development.
They are wonderful cities, filled with cit
liens who believe they are but on the
outer edge OF their development, and who
are ready to make almost any sacrifices
to stren5then their claims of superiority.
They are, through the force OF great arti
fetal Improvements, the transcontinental
railroads, and their sea washed western
! exposure, more centrally located today
than any other ports. What the full de-
velopment of this state and the entire
Sound country will do In the way of
passing them by and finding more advan-
tageously situated commercial centers,
time alone will determine. One of
the richest possessions of the United
States is here-there is no question
about that. The country is but Just be-
ginning to be known to its Oldest inhabi
tants. Hither are coming daily large
numbers of the best people of the East
young men anxious to carve out for them
selves fame and fortune and it all lies at
their feet Il they but exercise their brains
to its accomplishment. But by far the
most promising thing at present is the
fact that one Of your richest Eastern syn
dicates is here, not alone back OF the
American Steel Barge company, but be-
hind number of enterprises which will
open up vast avenues of trade, hasten the
development of both our mines and our
forests, attract the attention of the whole
country, and bring to us riches of which
the present undeveloped condition gives
no adequate conception. Development
here is not due to lack of energy, nor to
lack OF knowledge Of the immediate pos
sibilities-but wholly TO the sparsely set
tied condition of the interior country.

thirty and forty years ago, Puget sound
promises TO be to the whole west coast of
America during the next half century,

Post-Intelligencer: There will meet to-
morrow afternoon in this city in reponse
TO an invitation from the committee on
mines and minerals of the chamber of
commerce. a general convention of the
mniag men OF this state" The purpose
OF this meeting is declared to be to "con-
slider the best means whereby the mineral
resources OF this state may be most
economically, expeditionsly and satisfac-
torilly developed, retaining within the
state the largest per cent. OF the results
OF such industry. Also, afford the great
est degree OF encouragement TO those now
engaged In prospecting and in mining, and
In a general way to inquire into the best
means to aid and facilitate communica-
ton with all sections Of the mineral pro-
ducing portions OF the state.'' 1t is not
known how full the representation will
be, but the promoters OF the convention
have faith that there will be a good at
tendance OF mining men, and that the
will result in much practical
benefit.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The president
has sent the following letter of instruc-
tions to the heads of the several execu-
tive departments of the government:
In my message to the first session Of
the fifty-frst congress, said: II have
suggested to the heads of the executive
departments that they consider whether
a record might not be kept in each bi-
reau OF all those elements that are
covered by the terms 'faithfulness and
efficiency and a rating made showing
the relative merits of the clerks of each
class, this rating to be regarded as test
of merit in making promotions.
1t is intended to make provision for
carrying into effect the stipulation of the
civil service law in relation to promotion
in the classified service TO that end the
rule requiringa compulsory examination
has been rescinded. In my opinion the
examination for the promotion of those
who present themselves should be
chiefly, if not wholly, upon their knowl-
edge of the work of the bureau or de-
partment to which they belong, and the
record of efficiency made by them dur
ing their previous service. think rec
ords of efficiency kept from day to day
should be open to the inspection of the
clerks
