A LONG-D ELAYED SURVEY.
TOWNSHIP % n. r. 7 E.,

KING COUNTY, WASH, March %, 1893
To THE EDITOR: Can you inform the settlers
OF this township why it is not thrown open to
settlement? If there is "nigger" in the fence
We want to know it 1t seems strange that no
information can be had of those in authority in
relation to the matter, and the settlers are get
ting discouraged at the long delay. The land
in this township is nearly alt occupied, some OF
1t for the past eight or ten years. But little
improvement has yet been made, owing to the
tardiness OF the survey completed over one
year ago) and inspection. There il a. fine a
body OF timber here rs can be found anywhere
in the state, and as good SOIL Here on Walsh
lake. near the center of the township. 10 a grand
site for some man or company of men to erect
good-sized sawmill. Millions of feet OF nice logs
are tributary to the lake, handsome sheet OF
water about one half mile in diameter, supplied
by springs and mountain streams.
Again ask. why Is it tina: we are held back
from obtaining our rights and not allowed to
push forward improvements? To do 90 the
the sale Of heavy timber he ex-
poets to realize sufficient to place
him and his family in a more comfortable situa-
ton, besides the assistance rendered in remov-
ing the timber, thus aiding him in developing
the soil for farming purposes.
The building of towns careless of and indie
pendent of their surroundings seems to be q
is found than the one in general use. slow,
lingering death will follow. The country needs
development Open it up by means of good
rOads-roads good enough to enable the pro-
Queer to reach your city without danger of los
ing his load. wagon and team What 10 to pre-
vent King county from taking the lead in all
matters pertaining to her welfare? Encourage
the producer in every manner possibly by means
of good thoroughfares. One good town is worth
q half dozen poor ones and for that reason it
makes me sick to read that every town nearly
ON the Sound is going to be the terminal of
some great line of railroad. Let me ask: What
are the inhabitants going to live on? The rail-
road? And If no encouragement il
given by them to the producer. what
is the railroad going to live on? The
inhabitants? There is food here for Yehec-
ton and OF interest to all residents of King
county, and hope that some steps will be taken
by them that will demand our recognition and
the development OF the county.
In conclusion ! would say that we need as
sistance in these matters, and trust the business
men OF King county will furnish it by per-
hitting this state of things to exist no longer.

forgetfulness of the law does not ex-

THE CITY VS.. THE COUNTRY.
The relative advantage OF country
and city life in the development Of
moral character, is subject OF gen
eral interest, especially when discussed
by those who have comprehensive
views of life, At meeting of a very
noted literati in New York City re-
GENTLY. a number of the eminent
women of the day engaged in warm
discussion of modern city life, affirm
ing that it is not favorable to the for
nation of true homes, and does not
elevate men and women. This is
doubtless true of fashionable city life,
but it is not true in general, and it is
unjust to dub the whole with the
foibles of the few, for all city people
are not fashionable, nor are all of the
fashionable people found in the city
The extremes are certainly most COM
mon there, but the country boasts of
its elite too, and the swell teas, fancy
balls and formal receptions Of the city
fashionables, are very successfully
copied by their country cousins But
the fashionable people compose very
small proportion Of the great mass OF
humanity, and in a discussion OF the
merits of city and country life, the
fashionable element would hardly
seem to have a place. The business
of the world is carried on in the cities.
They are the great centres of COM
merce; there the fortunes of the world
are made and spent, and the indus
tries and enterprises of the nations are
carried on. The great works of ant,
the discoveries and inventions and
every work of man are found there.
The cities are indeed monuments
which man has erected to his own am
bition, skill and industry. But it is a
matter worthy of note that few OF
the worlds great writers have lived
in cities. They may find their i'm.
impulse there, but it is in country SOL
itudes, by mountain, stream or glen,
that the great minds have received
their greatest inspiration. Another
notable fact is that many business
men OF the cities, do not hesitate to
say that they prefer to employ boys
and young men from the country, be-
cause Of their moral advantage over
city boys and youths, which alone is a
strong argument for the moral tone Of
the country. But inherent principles
are stronger than surroundings and
the same types of manhood and wo
manhood are found both in city and
country, but the latter is doubtless
most conducive to the we'll rounded
moral character
