Extend the Work at Bremerton.

An intelligent consideration Of its own
interests should lead the government
to assign to the Port Orchard station
more of the work that is done on the
Pacific coast. The record that has been
made there on every opportunity is a
really remarkable one. II is no longer
necessary to detail a force to assist
those in charge of Bremerton. The Iowa
was locked, repaired and fioated again
under the sole supervision of the off,
GERS In charge and by the work OF men
engaged In the shops there or secured
here for the purpose. The result shows
that there is no ordinary need of the
navy which cannot be met at this point.
But under the system that has prevailed
In the past there is not business enough
to keep together force of skilled oper
atives the year round. Alterations OF
rush orders and idleness are not to the
best interest Of the government itself.
This station has demonstrated its cont
potency. The dry dock is the best that
the nation boasts. There will be greater
need with each year of the future for
government vessels of all descriptions
in these northern waters. Bremerton
has become a valuable and essential
part OF the national provision for naval
work. The time has come to put 1t on
that basis. to assign to 1T a portion of
business that has gone hitherto to San
Francisco and to build up here one Of
the few great navy yards that the fed
eral power must create upon the Pa
cific coast.

WASHINGTON AND THE CENSUS.

Wash1ngton's population, to be ascertain
ed by the government census taken next
month, is a question about which consi j.
cradle speculation is extant. There are
abundant reasons for the belief that II
VIII crowd the 6oo,ooo point. and p9ssbli-
ties that II will exceed that figure The
rate of increase from immigration dur. ng
the past two or three years has been very
marked, and this is more particularly true
as regards the last six months Unofficial
collection of data regarding population
shows a substantial advance among the
cities and towns all over the state. In tha
past ten years there has been large devel-
opment in agricultural sections and a
marked enlargement in the number of peo-
PIE employed in farming. Many towns of
considerable importance in numbering ana
mining districts have come into existence
since the last federal census was TAKEN
and the enumeration ought to show
growth. numerically as great as betwc IN
1880 and 1880. The census OF 1880 gave
Washington a population of 70, ZIG. In lSeo
the total was $40, 800, an increase of 27Ae7f,
or over 800 per cent. Notwithstanding the
period of comparative quiet between 1873
and 1897 there had been a growth up 10
the latter date, according to the usIll
methods of estimating. of from IS 900 TO
65 600. The presidential vote of 1896 was
1854, indicating a population considerably
in excess of 4O0,0 900. Since that time there
has been three and a half years Of ve-y
marked growth distributed to all parts Ct
the state, and while Washington cannot
hope to approach the percentage showing
of 1890 over 1880. the total increase in pop
ulation for the decade, under careful
enumeration should be nearly, If not quite,
as large.

ignorance Extraordinary.

There must be some anaesthetic quail
gon. which makes 1t impossible for a
newspaper published there to get its
facts straight. The News OF that city
Is following worthily in the footsteps
OF the Oregonian. In a leading editorial
recently 1t protested violently against
government appropria tons for the Lake
Washington canal, giving as a reason
therefor the jobbery connected with the
Seattle & Lake Washington Waterway
Company. 1t asserts that the exposure
of the latter should at once end the
partnership between 1t and the govern
ment: with a delicate hint that all fed
eral money expended on this coast here
after might be devoted profitably to ex-
cavating a navigable channel from
Portland to the sea.
This extraordinary ignorance may be
native or assumed. For the benefit OF
any who may have been misled, let us
repeat that the notorious and noisome
scheme of the Seattle 4 Lake Washing
ton Waterway Company has no con-
nection OF time, place or effort with
the government project. Appropriations
for the one are as unrelated to the 9TH
er as the Nicaragua canal to the i'm
provement Of the Mississippi. The gov
eminent canal from Elliott bay to Lake
Washington is a public enterprise. for
which right Of way has been secured
and on which work will be begun soon.
II has nothing TO do with any private
snap. Its location is miles distant from
the course Of the hypothetical canal re-
ferred to In the scheme Of the Seattle
