Cur Farmers.

We have had some spring like wea-
ther during the present week. We sec
less produce coming into town and be.
cessily fewer farmers. We presume they
are preparing their fields for the early
sowing of their crops. The prices of
the last years adventure have been SO
disappointing to the growers of rice that
many are discouraged. Cotton paid bet
ter, but SO little-compayativeIy
raised that no great quantity of money
was brought to the people.
The experience OF the last year should
serve to incline the planters to diversity
their crops, aud above all things should
they endeayor to become sclf-sustain-
ing. Not one in ten raises his own pork
and it is difficult to get ON well with
ont some. Now he finds himself in pos
session of large crop of what he can
get nothing for, and obliged to pay two
plices for the meat he really stands in
need of. Our people are industrious and
energetic, but are destitute of enterprise
and paupers in their resources. They
imagine that to depart from ,lhe routine
Of their ancestors is to 20 to sea without
A compass, and consequently will stay
anchored at the beach and sink rather
than venture out. The risk they hesi-
ta to make is all imaginary. One mo-
ment of reflection must suffice to con-
vince them that it is folly to persist in
'alsIng what they cannot make profita-
Die to them, whatever it be, and that no.
hing can be proiitless which they need
md can conveniently produce.

MIR. EDITOR: In the last issue of your,
paper appeared the following paragraph:
"AD entertainment to he given by
some of our colored friends is billed to
take place next month at Littell's Opera
House, the fashionable amusement re-
sort OF our best people. SOLA 4body has
made a mistak ke-cne which may have
depiorabie and reaching consequent
ces and results-and we feel that we
would be derelict in our duty if we fail
cd to sound ii note of warning. In all
kindness to all conceIped we say: Down
brakes. Go slow, BewaTc!"
This has the ring of the true metalD
about it, although kindly said, and the
white people of your parish, irrespective
of past differences, ought to commend
your stand in the premises.
The writer feels that it more timely
warning had been given, our friends of
the Social Club would certainly not have
permitted the use Of this hall to these
people. The members Of this club are
not only from among cur best peOple,
but are undoubtedly of tie class who
desire to retain the best wishes of the
people OF this community, and to jeal-
ously maintain and preserve the social
caste that exists, and must always con- |
tlnue to exist, between the two races in |
this our beloved Southland.
" All this III no Split Of unkindness to |
these coioFed people; bat rather in a |
spirit OF fairness and justice for these |
mistaken acts of kiudness to that class
OF people but serve to emboIden them |
and TO arouse feeling Of arrogance on
their part Which ultimately breeds dis
order, race conflicts, &c.
Ill conclusion, | venture to hope that
such an occurrence will not happen
again nd IN the meantime, Mr.. Editor
'cceive Of not the thanks OF the entire
white people of this community the un-
qualified approval Of NIDETTE.

work Being Pushed on Several Large
Business Structures-
Good progress has been made during the
past week on the many buildings now
under construction in Seattle. but none OF
the several large buildings now in embryo
has been definitely determined upon. The
building which has attracted the most
attention during the week is the Chaplin
building on Second street. For few days
in the early part of the week Contractor
Erickson put on an extra shift OF brick
layers to work morning and evening, but
this was not continued, more men being
employed during the regular hours The
Brickiayers' Union demands one and one
half times as much pay per hour for this
extra work, the same as overtime, al
though no man works more than eight
hours. AT the present time sixty men.
stonemasons, stonecutters, bricklayers,
ETC., are employed on this building. The
foundations must he completed and ready
for the superstructare by September 4, and
some crowding has been necessary. Con-
tractor Spur. who has the superstructure,
has already begun work and will push his
contract as fast as possible.
Directly across Second street from the
Suapsa buAldfils Nofk pfoFfcssSs va WIG
Leary-W Walker building. The carpenter
work is more than half finished, and half
OF the composition sidewalk in front OF
the block has already been laid.
The brickwork of the Union Trust Com
pany's building. Main and second streets,
has been completed, the roof is partly in
place and nearly all that remains to be
done is TO put in the interior finish and
furnishings. 1t is expected that the build
ing will be occupied in abont three weeks.
The Kinnear-Brawiey building, Main
and Third streets. is now two stories
above the street level and is going rapidly
forward.
The brick walls Of the new county hos
pital and poor house have been completed,
and more than half the force of brick
layers have been laid of. the others being
retained TO lay the arches for the tile
floors. The stacks have been topped out
and the concrete in the basement will
soon be laid. The brickiayers have been
doing some very rapid work on this build
ing. About seventeen men, all told. are
now employed there.
