The Outlook.


Every thing indicates that the
financial and industrial depression
which has affected Washington for the
past two years has reached the lowest
point. 1t is true times have been dull
all over the country and probably
Washington has bean as fortunate
in this respect as any other State, but
coming upon the heel of the marvellous
advance OF 1888, 1889 and 1890 it has
seemed worse to bear here than in
other places where times have been
quiet all along.
Still, in spite of the general COM
plant OF hard times, Improvements
have gone steady along. Washington
built more miles of railroad in 1892
than any other State. While the
logging and lnmber business has been
tagging and the foreign and domestic
demand light, the shinglc business has
taken gigantic strides and has brought
into the State an average of over one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars a
month. Washington red cedar sh n
giles have been largely introduced from
Dakota to Ohio and the demand is
likely to increase rather than diminish
as the superiority OF Washington
cedar to every other kind Of wood for
shingles is made manifest.
1t is true that town lots have not
found so ready sale and some am
bilious town booms have died a.born-
ing and real estate men have become
a weary lot, yet this cloud has not
been without its silver lining. Many
a man who in flush times remained in
the cities has taken his pick and gone
into the mountains TO hunt for miner
ais or taken his ak and struck out in
the primeval forest to build himself
a habitatlon. The smoke from the
miners cabin has curled high among
the hills and the sound OF the wood
mans ak been heard along the valleys
OF Puget Sound and the Quillayute
and among the foothills OF the
Olympics and the Cascades where the
government surveyor has never set a
transit.
Developments have been solid and
substantial and have been in every
direction. In 1890 the towns I'M
doubtedly got ahead of the country
and caused temporary slowing up of
a prodigious pace, but the country
has been catching up. In field and
forest and mine the work has been
going on and is still going. 1893 will
be a prosperous year. In the first
part of it the start will be from the
bed rock and progress will be slow but
we believe next fall will show the
same awakening that was developed in
the fall of 1887.

South Dakota in Want.

South Dakota is suffering from a
new disaster. 1t is not cyclone this
time; nor the drouth; nor an unusu-
ally bad winter; nor yet even hard
times, says the Spokane Spokesman.
The farmers of the great Missouri
prairies have encountered all these
disasters and came off victorious from
the struggle, but the danger which
now threatens them is far more seri-
Gus, and unless speedy help is fur
nished them the future of South Da-
kota is indeed dismal and cheerless.
A New York dispatch to the St.
Paul Globe explains the situation of
affairs in the new State in this wise:
The Rev. Father Callaghan of the
Mission OF Our Lady of the Rosary has
received novel request from House
keeper Dineen OF Huron, S. d., through
Father Brown OF St. Vincent's church,
ut Springfield, S. d. Mr.. Dineen said
he and neighbors wanted carload of
marriageable Irish girls shipped to
Huron. Mr.. Dineen said that hus-
bands were plentiful as blackberries in
July, and land could be had for the
asking in South Dakota. Those who
were not anxious to marry at once
could get steady employment and
good wages for an indefinite period.
Just why the South Dakota farmers
should be so anxious to secure wives
from among the newly arrived immi-
grants is not clear, since there are so
many thousand maidens in the Eastern
States who are to be had for the ask
ing. There, for instance, is Massa-
chusetts with surplus Of women
and Rhode Island and Connecticut
where they are as plentiful as the
would-be husbands in South Dakota.
Certainly it ought to be possible to
get some OF these New England girls
to so west and help the prairies to
blossom like the rose.
1t is a fortunate that these Dakota
farmers made their wants known be-
fore the new immigrants laws were
passed because it is evident that il
immigration is to be curtailed, the
restrictions must apply to the men
and married women and not to the
manageable girls.
The bachelors of South Dakota have
shown good taste, as long as they
want imported wives, in choosing Irish
girls, because they are lively and gay,
and if sometimes, like their sisters in
other countries, they indulge in hair.
pulling, and manipulate the handle OF
a broom energetically in family row,
these little affairs do not mar their
love for their husbands, and the broom
is only used to give extra, energetic
love taps. The Irish maiden, too, is
famous the world over for her virtue,
and this quality, like charity, covers a
multitude of sin.

SUPERIORITY OF OUR HEMLoCK
New York Tanner Declares the East
ern Article Not in it.
OcOsta Mercury

OcOsta Mercury.
The superiority and worth OF our
/ hemlock and fir bark over the East
ern hemlock has been fully established
by samples OF both hemlock and fir
having been taken East Il. l.. Austin
and placed into the hands of Messrs.
Hovt Bros, 70 Gold street, New York,
the largest sole leather tanners in the
world, who became so much interested
in the matter that they took both
samples to one OF the best chemists in
the city, and in their letter of Decem-
Der II to Mr.. Austin, they give the re-
suit which is as follows: Hemlock,
9.9G per cent. tanning; fir, 925 per
cent. tanning. Now the encyclopedia
Britannica gives the Eastern hemlock
from 6 to s per cent. tanning. This
gives our hemlock an advantage at
least of % per cent over the Eastern
hemlock.
The fir rather took the wind out of
the sails of our Eastern people, to
whom fir bark for tanning was a reve-
lation, espe tally when Mr.. Austin
produced piece of leather made from
fir bark which was admitted to be as
good as oak tanned leather.
And now WI th our boundless forests
of both fir and hemlock and with the
shipping facilities OF Ocosta the East
ern tanners can not be very long in
doubt as to this being profitable field
for big tannery. South American
and Australian hides can be laid down
very cheaply 10y our outgoing lumber
vessels, to say nothing OF the thou
sands OF hides now being sold almost
for song here in our midst. We
have plenty of the purest water and
in fact everything TO make it success
except the tanner with money for the
enterl rise.

Utilizing Ocean Sands.
HOQuiam Washingtonian.

l.. Z. Rice, secretary OF the B. l.. &
A. Reduction company OF Tacoma
showed recently some very interesting
specimens OF iron extracted from Pa
cific Coast sand. Mr.. Rice said
There are a number of stretches oil
beach on the Pacific ocean that arc
exceedingly rich in iron, and of such
a fine quality that better plates can
be cast from it than can be rolled from
many of the Eastern ores. These
samples have been pronounced by
experts who have analyzed them to be
much better than Swedish, Russian
or Norway iron. The most extensive
of iron sand deposits exist on the
Oregon and Washington coasts,
though several very fine beds are to
be found in California. These
samples were made from sand taken
from the beach at Gray's Harbor, the
sand at that place containing about
35 per cent. of iron. There are also
large deposits at Brand Cove, Fort
Candy, Ilwaco, Port Orchard and al
Gold.beach, at the mouth of Rogue
river. The Gold-beaih deposit con
tains fully As per cent? of iron, in addi.
ton to which it will yield about s.
worth of gold to the tP. The trouble
about the extraction, of gold from
these iron sands heretofore has been
on account of the large amount oI
water it required to sluice it. The
gold mostly escaped during the sluic'
ing process, but as we separate the
iron from the sand by means of cleo
tricity, we expect to be able to save
the gold in it alter the iron is extract
ed. Our company intends to establish
reduction plants at both Portland and
Tacoma. We can handle about 30(
tons of sand daily, which will give u:
all the way from 100 to 120 tons o.
iron. The supply OF sand is mex.
haustible, for as it is pumped into the
separators as the tide goes down, the
next tide deposits as much more. The
sand is generally from 6 to Is feet
deep. Our company has leased abou
IS miles OF beach, and we expect tt
start to work in a short time. Tn,
industry will do much to develop thi
Coast, for in no other part OF th'
world does there exist such valuabl,
deposits"
