would be obviated and Seattle would
possess commanding advantage over
every other port in the world. Ships
become foul in salt water and frequently
have to go into a dry-dock and have
their bottoms cleaned of barnacles and
other parasites, at cost Of from $500 to
$1,000. (San Francisco prices.) Fresh
water answers the same purpose, and
Seattle's fresh water harbor would be Of
great advantage to shipping in that way.
The loading and unloading of ships on
tide water, owing to the rise and fall of
the tide, is more expensive than on
fresh water, where the water is always of
uniform height, and wharves can be
constructed having in view the greatest
economy in handling cargoes. The North
Pacific Naval Station has been located
directly across the Sound from Seattle.
and the construction of the canal is
strongly urged by the naval authorities.

LUMBER AND SHINGLES.

In the autumn OF 1852 the late Henry
l.. Iesler established within the present
city limits of Seattle the first steam saw
mill on Puget Sound, and ever since that
day timber has been the leading product
OF the state and the leading export; and
with tine vast and practically inexhaust-
IDLE supply at hand it will long continue
in its present position a. to both pro-
duction and export. Taking King county
alone, after having been cut from for
forty years, there is estimated to tie at
present standing on the nine hundred
thousand acres Of timber land in the
county more than twenty billion feet oi

many years this city has suffered from
railroad oppression and unjust dscrimi-

this is forever at an end. Seattlc's grain

handle the bulk of the grain and flour

trade will receive additional impetus.
Even now with the cost of re-shipments
Washington sends considerable flour to-
the Orient; and the amount will he
vastly increased when Seattle has direct
connection with the ports of China and
Japan. Flour is already largely con
sumed i'll those countries, and is sup
planting rice as the staff of life.
Seattle's facilities for handling the
trade are excellent. She has complete
modern elevators n fine a. any on the
Pacific Coast. They are situated on the
water front and are connected with the
different railway systems by the lines OF
the Seattle Elevator and Terminal Cnm-
pany. Several vessels can load at once:
and the water is sufficiently deep So that
the largest vessels can load AT any stage

 Two rainmakers (Apaches from San Oarlos) are here. They commenced operations yesterday. They agree to make it rain continually for two days during the next seven days. The way they do it is by singing. The song never ceasing day or night until the rain comes. The men of the tribe dance around the rainmakers and the women and children are not allowed to come near; they are sent off to work and should they quit work or come near the rainmakers, it spells the whole business. The Apache Indians here who have gardens and the farm CTS of the valley will pay them at the rate of one dollar and fifty cents for each ranch, if the rain-makers suc- ceed in making it rain. No rain no pay.
 It commenced sprinkli2g this morning Tuesday,. The Apach are happy and their songs make sleep one of the things of the past.

Jeff, all we'll known Tn southern and western Mex ice, left the town of Arispe for overland journey across the Sierra Madre mountains to the village of Guaynopity, in the western part of the state of Chihuahua, near which place it is reported a rich find of gold was recently made.

The advice was not needed, and the trip has resulted fatally to all three of them, word having just been re ceived that their murdered bodies have been found in a ravine near the village of Nacoli. It is supposed that the murders were committed by maurauding Yaqui Indians for the purpose of robbery Vidette.
