THE CUMMINGS CASES When the Court opened yesterday morning everybody looked fresh and said he did not believe they did it. I bright as a result of Thlirsday’s rest, except the defendant and Collins, . his cross examination continued. The. prisoners. looked wearied and worn, as naturally men in their posi. No such thing ever happened. Frar ‘tion would, no matter how brave or innocent they might be. Thorne’s ' cold indifference and Collins’ good natured sang froid, which qualities were never more marked in the bearing of men than was the case with these two when the trial of the for. mer began last week, have given way to a hunted, anxious look. Collins shows as much wear and tear from the few hours of cross-examination he has been subjected to as Thorne does from sitting in the crowded court-room an entire week, the target of thousands of “curious eyes and the victim of whole chapters of the. most damaging circumstantial evidence, At the opening of yesterday morning’s session, all persons with the exception of the officers of the Coart, reporters, ladies, and witnesses from the Kast, were ordered to be hereaf. ter excluded from in front of the railing dividing the7spectators’ seats from the Jadge’s bench, Cross exainina tion of JOHN P. COLLINS Continued by Mr.Searls—I was nover engaged. in hydraulig mining in the vicinity of Nevada City. I made arrangements with John Lawtence to engage ina mine here. I never was engaged in mining near, Auburn, “Placer county, “I wait to” imake a correction. I-stated Wednesday that I got a registered letter at Grass Valley. I was mistaken. I deposited the mento in the early part of September. I deposited it for one of the men stopping at the hotel. I did not state it was the hotel proprietor. I do not know his name or where he lived. I had met him before. I do not know whose name I deposited it-in. I am “not in the habit of using names _reckleasly. I deposited in New Orleans in the name of.John Hueston, and receipted for it in his name by his’ authority. If I deposited the nugget at Sacramento in the name of \W ‘Tarner, I got it from a man of thiit® 'sician, name. After I arrived in St. Louis I first: heard where Thorne lived. ~During my trial at St. Louis I had . depositions taken in Union City, in that part in Ohio. Thorne had nc partin taking the depositions. I merely wrote him asking where John Regan was. I did not participate in the robbery of the Moore's Flat stage _and. murder of Commings the banker, I did not so tell O’Meara between June 4th and ith, 1882, in the St. Louis jail. Inever talked to him there unless others were around. I knew him in San Quentin. He was in one of the offices there. I did not know he was a clerk of Capt. Aull. He was of the kind known asa_ stool pigeon or dog robber. [Witness was here shown a document signed John Huston.] This does not resemble . hotel register, my handwriting. [He was also shown @ check on the sub treasury from the New Orleans mint signed by the same name and wade the same answer.] I don’t know whether I wrote those names. I don’t remember doing it. I might have done it when drinking. I received such a check and endorsed it. Idon’t remember who went with me to get the coin, or whether it was Mr. Jones. I don’t know that Thorne was in New Orleans with me in the winter of 1879. We did not board at the same house there. I did not say I would join him in Louisville, I met George Johnson , in 1870 when I first went. out on the “plains. It was within 100 miles or 80 of Cheyenne. It was during the sinking of a shaft in Trail creek. I stayed there that winter; returning @ year ater and being with him till railroad. -He WaE 5 pecepector; same “as the rest of us. When I‘left him I went to Salt .Lake, staying there 39 years of age. Jobnson and I were ‘incipally partners in prospecting. river and run them to logs on: . ee the vic f Hilliard. _We bought ; Campton} think. Thorne--could —be connected with it, being sick.

I-never told Jim Crumm that after the murder [ saw Thorne and Collins camped be{ did not tell him I agreed to meet them in a graveyard at Jenny Lind. We spoke about the matter, but he did pot tell hint I~ metCollins in Sacramento, or about Collins bringing a lump of. gold to 3 place on K lins and he got seared and left suddenly when officer “Jackson came in. zee told me he had trouble with . Thorne who made himself too free in his family. Crumm did not speak wellto me of Thorne. There appeared to be some hard feeling. Cross-exan:ined by Mr, Searls—I was convicted of a felony in Stanislaus county in 1871>. Left San Quentin Nov. 3d, 1878; I was convicted of robbery. I never saw Thorne or_ Collins after leaving prison till I saw them here. Since coming out of there I have lived-in Yolo, Sacramento and San Joaquin counties, I know Captains Lees and Aull, [did not in the office of the Chief of Police at San Francisco June 22, 1882, tell Lees dnd-Aull that-T-tolt Crumm I went to the Sacramento assayer’s with Pattereon, and other things, in order to pump Cramm, I did not tell Capt. Aufl that I knew Thorne and Collins murdered Cummings, but that I woald rather cut off my right hand or cut out my tongue than get Thorne into trouble, because he was the only man in the world I had any affection for. Ihave known defendant ever since 1864 as Dorsey only. himin Sacramento, We worked together on the railroad, and ranched together.~From 1864 to 1878-Thorne aud I were together only part of the time, He wasin San Quentin. all the time I was. DEPOSITIONS, Defense here introduced deposiUnion City, Indiana,. before the time of the Cummings murder, Counsel for the People objected on the ground that the Legislature is prohibited by the Constitution from enacting any law for taking depositions in criminal cases amounting .to homicide, and further that it appears defendant was not present at their taking. The objection was overruled. The depositions were by the following named persone: W. J. Stewart, Union City, phyCharles H. Thorne called on me Angust 29th, 1879, at Union City, Prescribed for him then, and'. recommended him to the Hot Spring of Arkansas, He was in saloon,timber, insurance and real estate business here. ; Jonathan Hartley, timberman, living at North Star, Ohio; Saw Charles H. Thorne first August 29th, 1879; at Pacific House, Union City, Indiana, where I was clerk. He registered and was given room No, 18, 1 remember him particularly by the big trunk he had, and by a political meeting. He said he was from Cali_ fornia. He said he was going to Pi qua, wherehe hada relative. He stayed till after dinner ‘next day, thea went away, and returned after afew days. [Leaves torn from the showing Thorne’s name thereon for August 29th and September 4th, 1879, were here produced. ] : AFTERNOON SESSION. Deposition of Levi Hommel, cigar manufacturer of Usion City, Indiana: Know Charles H. Thorne. First met him at a Democratic rally at Union City, Ouio, the night of August 29th, 1879.

Last saw him in the latter part of October or first of N ovember, 1882. He was then in the Sacramento City Prison. [An effort was. made to prove by Mr. Ficks that Thorne admitted to him there that he (Thorne) was in the State September Ist, 1879, but defense objected on the ground that it was direct evidence and not in rebuttal, and the objection was sustained, ] OHARLES AULL, Was called for the purpose of impeaching Wm, Williams, but the defense objected to his answering the questions and the objection was sastained, ROGER W.

Have nade it a business for 8 or 10 years, Have seen Thorne’s writing, Siw him write. [Witness took writ‘ng on the register of the Union City Hotel-and compared it witir Thorae’s own writing done 9 timas in witness’s sresence.] The signatures written by him in my presence are spelled “Chon.” It is noc the same writing as on this page (168) of the register, on which “C. H. Thorn” and ‘Room 18” are in the same hand. Another signature on the page resembles the ‘‘Thoro” very much, Oa page 169 of the register, 12:h line, is the name of Thorn in penvil. The C, and the H, have been written twice, being evidently _retouched. This signature resembles that of ‘J. A. Fellows” on the same page, and the line below ‘Fellows” vas writteu first, and the name of. “Thorn” on the line above was written after. Tue dates, Thursday, Sept. 4th, 1879 on page 169 on the 10th line, the figure 9 was written after the word “Gall” above it was written. The man who wrote ‘Pacific House Onion” did not write-the date. On page 166, twelfth liue, it should read Richmond, Indiana,an-l was written after the line below. There are two names on page 166 in the same hand as the name of the hotel and date. Where C. H. Thorn is written in ink it is not in the same ink as the uames in ink above and below it. The signatures of Thorn on the register are not genuine. I could prove in five minutes how long they had been there if the Court would per mit. Ican tell whether the name was written in 1879 or six months ‘go. The signature of Thorn in ink hasa resemblance to that of the name Hartley. Cross-examined by Mr. Tyler—I was subpeened:on the 14th instant to come herejon the 15th. I declined to come till they told me they could force me to come. It never yet has been proven to me that I was mistaken in a man’s handwriting. _Before coming into Court I have examined these leaves nearly every day. The detectives were present. I made up my miud not to open my mouth till I was told E-would get my pay. I do not know that unless the prosecution move to have me paid I-cantiot get it. Ipartly told the detectives what I thought of the writing. I. refused to tell -you because I thonght you hud no right to know. We had both been in'the Rebel army. On the sation near Marysville with Frazee . same evening I went to Piqua, Ohio. He said he didn’t .

Thero are several places where the. writing its Advantages and Drawbacks—A on a given line overruns the writing on a line below it. The signature of C. H. Thorn in ink resembles the signature Hartley, but I would no very gook writer who!was imitating. ting-in 3 or 4 years, write the same as when at ease. Defendant might heve written those e’clock this morning. 4 Nevada Countyan’s Rapacity. The committee appointed to investigate the case of Sergeant-atother reported irregularities, comhad proceeded only to. an interesting point, when tbe hour for legislative session arrived, and further proceedings were postponed. The committee first visited the janitor’s office where all stationery and other supplies are kept, and enquired as to articles drawn by various parties, The account of Charles Giffin of Truckee, Assembly Engrossing clerk, was’ examined, Among the items were 1000 letterheads, 600 envelopes, 20 packages note paper, and various other supplies not ueeded in his clerical duties, Of articles which he might need in the prosecution of his work he had most generously supplied steel pens. This was too much for endurance, aad without waiting the committee started for the Engrossing Clerk’s rooin, ‘Mr. Johnson leadwe are after.” Upon confronting Mr. Giffin, the Engrossing Clerk, he seemed considerably confused, but was at once sworn, and a very posi itive examination and questioning took place. He produced 19 unbroken -boxes-ef the eupply of pens, and a portion of the other items of stationery. Of the 20 packages (half reams) of note paper, he could only show five packages, and said the balance must have been used for correspondence. Justice Blakey's Court. Jack Orabb;~ an aged ~ itinerant peddler of notioug and who is also a knife sharpener, was arrested by officer Fields Thursday evening en a before Justice Biskey who ordered him discharged from custody. It seems he was formerly confined in Stockton Insane Asylum, and later in the night the same official found him. waidéting about the stréets and comporting himself: ag though he was out of his mind; whereupon he locked the wanderer up in the City. Prison. Maud Brown made a charge of vagaancy against her “friend” John Cocking, and officer Fields went to the house to serve the warrant when John slipped out the back floor and made his escape. Yesterday Justice Blakey heard he was_hiding in-Grass Valley and sent down there to have him arrested. He is the same Cocking who some months ago forfeited $59 bail put up by a friend rather than stand trial. The Electric. Hair Tonic. We call attention of the public in general and bald heads in particular, to the advertisement of Mrs.-M. A. Reeves, who is the discoverer of the great electric hair tonic and renewer. She received the medal at the last State Fair for the best hair tonic, aftera careful analysis, and all who bave tried this. wonderful California production pronounce it as fulfilling all thatit promises. It oures baldness, eradicates dandruff, and keeps the head cool. Eyerybody should use it. Mrs. M. M.' Ford, who is the traveling agent, informs us that the sale for it in the mountains is far beyond her'expectations, and she has established agencies at the drug stores in this city. Z To-Morrow’s Game.

The Intrepids will bring their best nine, while the True Blues will be strengthened by Provines and Farrell,the well known pitcher and catcher of the Athletics.

The coal and iron restate and their value and extent are ‘goes to indicate that they are vety extensive and will constitute the chief source of wealth of this country in of Western Washington are confined to a few small tracts of tide mark lands which have been reclaimed from the salt water by dikes, narrow. strips of river bottom lands on each Sound, and here and there tracts of are called ‘‘prairies,”——There~-are some other lands which could be. cultivated when’ the timber is. rc moted. The river bottom lands are generally very low, marshy and wet and must be drained by. ditching before they are available for agriculture. These marsh lands are the best and they are generally clear of timber. The other lands are covered with very heavy growths of timber, alder, vine maple, brush, etc., and would cost from $150 to $300 per acre to cleat and render them fit: for the plow. When these lands are once brought under cultivation, they produce wonderfully. 100 bushels ushels of potatoes to the acre is coysidered average. corn do not do well. ee only an average crop. 600 Wheat and All kinds ‘of Hops do extremely well. Apples, pears, plums, cherries, all kinds of berries and small fruits grow in abundance where their cultivation. has been tried. Among the oldest and best agricultural regions in the land are the Cowlitz, Puyallupand White River countries. The Swinomish Flats are tide marsh lands fdyked in, and they produce wonderfully. Among the new and undeveloped azricultural sections are the Snohomish, Samish, Skagit, and Nooksack River Countries. The principal one of them is the Nooksack country .in--Whateom county. The main tide of emigration is setting into this county and it is being settled up very fast. The front lands have nearly all been taken bat . Bearly as good lie immediately back ‘of them. This country affords a good field for men who are willing to work but is a poor place. for .a man who is not willing to get down and rough it. The wages paid’ in the logging camps vary from $45 to $125 per month. Common laborers get from’$1.50 to $2.50 perday. Carpenters get from $2.50 to $6.00 per day. Millwrights, $5 per $2.50 to$5 per day. What this country needs is the infusion of some capital and a large amount of good common business sense. Most of the people here, more—especially the old settlers, are very much lacking in-the latter commodity. © They seem toconsider it an invasion of their-sacred rights tohave any one comeinto the county who has differ ent ideas of ‘the eternal fitness of things from those they have entertained here-for the last thirty years, and they oppose with ali their strength anything which looks like anitinovation on the existing state of affairs:.-Allof the land bordering on salt water was taken up years ago and the men have been waiti ng all this time.for som thing to turn up which would give them a chance to sell out at a big price and become wealthy at one stroke. They refuse to part with their lands at reasonable fivures, are keeping settlers out and are waiting for. some -big monied corporation to buy them out? Every town, village and hamlet, every man who owns a log &bin overlooking the sabt water, from: Olympia down the east side of the Sound to Whatcom, a distance of 150 miles, whether it be on the mainland or on ‘the islands, insist that that they are on the exact spot where the lines of the trans-continental railway companies will come and that they must have that ground for a depot site, hence it is very valuable and they can’t afford to ‘sell unless they have a big ‘price. No matter where you are on this Sound, the people of said place say that it} will be the terminus of the railroad and the site of a big city, and if you 4 have the hardihood to suggest that it may go elsewhere, you either have to fight or.climb a tree to escape their wrath. ‘Now Mr. Editor, I have given you a fair and impartial account of this country so far as my ouservations have extended.

THE CUMMINGS CASES When the Court opened yesterday morning everybody looked fresh and said he did not believe they did it.

No such thing ever happened. Frar ‘tion would, no matter how brave or innocent they might be. Thorne’s ' cold indifference and Collins’ good natured sang froid, which qualities were never more marked in the bearing of men than was the case with these two when the trial of the for. mer began last week, have given way to a hunted, anxious look. Collins shows as much wear and tear from the few hours of cross-examination he has been subjected to as Thorne does from sitting in the crowded court-room an entire week, the target of thousands of “curious eyes and the victim of whole chapters of the. most damaging circumstantial evidence, At the opening of yesterday morning’s session, all persons with the exception of the officers of the Coart, reporters, ladies, and witnesses from the Kast, were ordered to be hereaf. ter excluded from in front of the railing dividing the7spectators’ seats from the Jadge’s bench, Cross exainina tion of JOHN P. COLLINS Continued by Mr.Searls—I was nover engaged. in hydraulig mining in the vicinity of Nevada City. I made arrangements with John Lawtence to engage ina mine here. I never was engaged in mining near, Auburn, “Placer county, “I wait to” imake a correction. I-stated Wednesday that I got a registered letter at Grass Valley. I was mistaken. I deposited the mento in the early part of September. I deposited it for one of the men stopping at the hotel. I did not state it was the hotel proprietor. I do not know his name or where he lived. I had met him before. I do not know whose name I deposited it-in. I am “not in the habit of using names _reckleasly. I deposited in New Orleans in the name of.John Hueston, and receipted for it in his name by his’ authority. If I deposited the nugget at Sacramento in the name of \W ‘Tarner, I got it from a man of thiit® 'sician, name. After I arrived in St. Louis I first: heard where Thorne lived. ~During my trial at St. Louis I had . depositions taken in Union City, in that part in Ohio. Thorne had nc partin taking the depositions. I merely wrote him asking where John Regan was. I did not participate in the robbery of the Moore's Flat stage _and. murder of Commings the banker, I did not so tell O’Meara between June 4th and ith, 1882, in the St. Louis jail. Inever talked to him there unless others were around. I knew him in San Quentin. He was in one of the offices there. I did not know he was a clerk of Capt. Aull. He was of the kind known asa_ stool pigeon or dog robber. [Witness was here shown a document signed John Huston.] This does not resemble . hotel register, my handwriting. [He was also shown @ check on the sub treasury from the New Orleans mint signed by the same name and wade the same answer.] I don’t know whether I wrote those names. I don’t remember doing it. I might have done it when drinking. I received such a check and endorsed it. Idon’t remember who went with me to get the coin, or whether it was Mr. Jones. I don’t know that Thorne was in New Orleans with me in the winter of 1879. We did not board at the same house there. I did not say I would join him in Louisville, I met George Johnson , in 1870 when I first went. out on the “plains. It was within 100 miles or 80 of Cheyenne. It was during the sinking of a shaft in Trail creek. I stayed there that winter; returning @ year ater and being with him till railroad. -He WaE 5 pecepector; same “as the rest of us.

I-never told Jim Crumm that after the murder [ saw Thorne and Collins camped be{ did not tell him I agreed to meet them in a graveyard at Jenny Lind. We spoke about the matter, but he did pot tell hint I~ metCollins in Sacramento, or about Collins bringing a lump of. gold to 3 place on K lins and he got seared and left suddenly when officer “Jackson came in. zee told me he had trouble with . Thorne who made himself too free in his family. Crumm did not speak wellto me of Thorne. There appeared to be some hard feeling. Cross-exan:ined by Mr, Searls—I was convicted of a felony in Stanislaus county in 1871>. Left San Quentin Nov. 3d, 1878; I was convicted of robbery. I never saw Thorne or_ Collins after leaving prison till I saw them here. Since coming out of there I have lived-in Yolo, Sacramento and San Joaquin counties, I know Captains Lees and Aull, [did not in the office of the Chief of Police at San Francisco June 22, 1882, tell Lees dnd-Aull that-T-tolt Crumm I went to the Sacramento assayer’s with Pattereon, and other things, in order to pump Cramm, I did not tell Capt. Aufl that I knew Thorne and Collins murdered Cummings, but that I woald rather cut off my right hand or cut out my tongue than get Thorne into trouble, because he was the only man in the world I had any affection for. Ihave known defendant ever since 1864 as Dorsey only. himin Sacramento, We worked together on the railroad, and ranched together.~From 1864 to 1878-Thorne aud I were together only part of the time, He wasin San Quentin. all the time I was. DEPOSITIONS, Defense here introduced deposiUnion City, Indiana,. before the time of the Cummings murder, Counsel for the People objected on the ground that the Legislature is prohibited by the Constitution from enacting any law for taking depositions in criminal cases amounting .to homicide, and further that it appears defendant was not present at their taking. The objection was overruled. The depositions were by the following named persone: W. J. Stewart, Union City, phyCharles H. Thorne called on me Angust 29th, 1879, at Union City, Prescribed for him then, and'. recommended him to the Hot Spring of Arkansas, He was in saloon,timber, insurance and real estate business here. ; Jonathan Hartley, timberman, living at North Star, Ohio; Saw Charles H. Thorne first August 29th, 1879; at Pacific House, Union City, Indiana, where I was clerk. He registered and was given room No, 18, 1 remember him particularly by the big trunk he had, and by a political meeting. He said he was from Cali_ fornia. He said he was going to Pi qua, wherehe hada relative. He stayed till after dinner ‘next day, thea went away, and returned after afew days. [Leaves torn from the showing Thorne’s name thereon for August 29th and September 4th, 1879, were here produced. ] : AFTERNOON SESSION. Deposition of Levi Hommel, cigar manufacturer of Usion City, Indiana: Know Charles H. Thorne. First met him at a Democratic rally at Union City, Ouio, the night of August 29th, 1879.

[An effort was. made to prove by Mr. Ficks that Thorne admitted to him there that he (Thorne) was in the State September Ist, 1879, but defense objected on the ground that it was direct evidence and not in rebuttal, and the objection was sustained, ] OHARLES AULL, Was called for the purpose of impeaching Wm, Williams, but the defense objected to his answering the questions and the objection was sastained, ROGER W.

Have nade it a business for 8 or 10 years, Have seen Thorne’s writing, Siw him write. [Witness took writ‘ng on the register of the Union City Hotel-and compared it witir Thorae’s own writing done 9 timas in witness’s sresence.] The signatures written by him in my presence are spelled “Chon.” It is noc the same writing as on this page (168) of the register, on which “C. H. Thorn” and ‘Room 18” are in the same hand. Another signature on the page resembles the ‘‘Thoro” very much, Oa page 169 of the register, 12:h line, is the name of Thorn in penvil. The C, and the H, have been written twice, being evidently _retouched. This signature resembles that of ‘J. A. Fellows” on the same page, and the line below ‘Fellows” vas writteu first, and the name of. “Thorn” on the line above was written after. Tue dates, Thursday, Sept. 4th, 1879 on page 169 on the 10th line, the figure 9 was written after the word “Gall” above it was written. The man who wrote ‘Pacific House Onion” did not write-the date. On page 166, twelfth liue, it should read Richmond, Indiana,an-l was written after the line below. There are two names on page 166 in the same hand as the name of the hotel and date. Where C. H. Thorn is written in ink it is not in the same ink as the uames in ink above and below it. The signatures of Thorn on the register are not genuine. I could prove in five minutes how long they had been there if the Court would per mit. Ican tell whether the name was written in 1879 or six months ‘go. The signature of Thorn in ink hasa resemblance to that of the name Hartley. Cross-examined by Mr. Tyler—I was subpeened:on the 14th instant to come herejon the 15th. I declined to come till they told me they could force me to come. It never yet has been proven to me that I was mistaken in a man’s handwriting. _Before coming into Court I have examined these leaves nearly every day. The detectives were present. I made up my miud not to open my mouth till I was told E-would get my pay. I do not know that unless the prosecution move to have me paid I-cantiot get it. Ipartly told the detectives what I thought of the writing. I. refused to tell -you because I thonght you hud no right to know. We had both been in'the Rebel army. On the sation near Marysville with Frazee . same evening I went to Piqua, Ohio. He said he didn’t .

Thero are several places where the. writing its Advantages and Drawbacks—A on a given line overruns the writing on a line below it. The signature of C. H. Thorn in ink resembles the signature Hartley, but I would no very gook writer who!was imitating. ting-in 3 or 4 years, write the same as when at ease. Defendant might heve written those e’clock this morning. 4 Nevada Countyan’s Rapacity. The committee appointed to investigate the case of Sergeant-atother reported irregularities, comhad proceeded only to. an interesting point, when tbe hour for legislative session arrived, and further proceedings were postponed. The committee first visited the janitor’s office where all stationery and other supplies are kept, and enquired as to articles drawn by various parties, The account of Charles Giffin of Truckee, Assembly Engrossing clerk, was’ examined, Among the items were 1000 letterheads, 600 envelopes, 20 packages note paper, and various other supplies not ueeded in his clerical duties, Of articles which he might need in the prosecution of his work he had most generously supplied steel pens. This was too much for endurance, aad without waiting the committee started for the Engrossing Clerk’s rooin, ‘Mr. Johnson leadwe are after.” Upon confronting Mr. Giffin, the Engrossing Clerk, he seemed considerably confused, but was at once sworn, and a very posi itive examination and questioning took place. He produced 19 unbroken -boxes-ef the eupply of pens, and a portion of the other items of stationery. Of the 20 packages (half reams) of note paper, he could only show five packages, and said the balance must have been used for correspondence. Justice Blakey's Court. Jack Orabb;~ an aged ~ itinerant peddler of notioug and who is also a knife sharpener, was arrested by officer Fields Thursday evening en a before Justice Biskey who ordered him discharged from custody. It seems he was formerly confined in Stockton Insane Asylum, and later in the night the same official found him. waidéting about the stréets and comporting himself: ag though he was out of his mind; whereupon he locked the wanderer up in the City. Prison. Maud Brown made a charge of vagaancy against her “friend” John Cocking, and officer Fields went to the house to serve the warrant when John slipped out the back floor and made his escape. Yesterday Justice Blakey heard he was_hiding in-Grass Valley and sent down there to have him arrested. He is the same Cocking who some months ago forfeited $59 bail put up by a friend rather than stand trial. The Electric. Hair Tonic. We call attention of the public in general and bald heads in particular, to the advertisement of Mrs.-M. A. Reeves, who is the discoverer of the great electric hair tonic and renewer. She received the medal at the last State Fair for the best hair tonic, aftera careful analysis, and all who bave tried this. wonderful California production pronounce it as fulfilling all thatit promises. It oures baldness, eradicates dandruff, and keeps the head cool. Eyerybody should use it. Mrs. M. M.' Ford, who is the traveling agent, informs us that the sale for it in the mountains is far beyond her'expectations, and she has established agencies at the drug stores in this city.

The coal and iron restate and their value and extent are ‘goes to indicate that they are vety extensive and will constitute the chief source of wealth of this country in of Western Washington are confined to a few small tracts of tide mark lands which have been reclaimed from the salt water by dikes, narrow. strips of river bottom lands on each Sound, and here and there tracts of are called ‘‘prairies,”——There~-are some other lands which could be. cultivated when’ the timber is. rc moted. The river bottom lands are generally very low, marshy and wet and must be drained by. ditching before they are available for agriculture. These marsh lands are the best and they are generally clear of timber. The other lands are covered with very heavy growths of timber, alder, vine maple, brush, etc., and would cost from $150 to $300 per acre to cleat and render them fit: for the plow. When these lands are once brought under cultivation, they produce wonderfully. 100 bushels ushels of potatoes to the acre is coysidered average. corn do not do well. ee only an average crop. 600 Wheat and All kinds ‘of Hops do extremely well. Apples, pears, plums, cherries, all kinds of berries and small fruits grow in abundance where their cultivation. has been tried. Among the oldest and best agricultural regions in the land are the Cowlitz, Puyallupand White River countries. The Swinomish Flats are tide marsh lands fdyked in, and they produce wonderfully. Among the new and undeveloped azricultural sections are the Snohomish, Samish, Skagit, and Nooksack River Countries. The principal one of them is the Nooksack country .in--Whateom county. The main tide of emigration is setting into this county and it is being settled up very fast. The front lands have nearly all been taken bat . Bearly as good lie immediately back ‘of them. This country affords a good field for men who are willing to work but is a poor place. for .a man who is not willing to get down and rough it. The wages paid’ in the logging camps vary from $45 to $125 per month. Common laborers get from’$1.50 to $2.50 perday. Carpenters get from $2.50 to $6.00 per day. Millwrights, $5 per $2.50 to$5 per day. What this country needs is the infusion of some capital and a large amount of good common business sense. Most of the people here, more—especially the old settlers, are very much lacking in-the latter commodity. © They seem toconsider it an invasion of their-sacred rights tohave any one comeinto the county who has differ ent ideas of ‘the eternal fitness of things from those they have entertained here-for the last thirty years, and they oppose with ali their strength anything which looks like anitinovation on the existing state of affairs:.-Allof the land bordering on salt water was taken up years ago and the men have been waiti ng all this time.for som thing to turn up which would give them a chance to sell out at a big price and become wealthy at one stroke. They refuse to part with their lands at reasonable fivures, are keeping settlers out and are waiting for. some -big monied corporation to buy them out? Every town, village and hamlet, every man who owns a log &bin overlooking the sabt water, from: Olympia down the east side of the Sound to Whatcom, a distance of 150 miles, whether it be on the mainland or on ‘the islands, insist that that they are on the exact spot where the lines of the trans-continental railway companies will come and that they must have that ground for a depot site, hence it is very valuable and they can’t afford to ‘sell unless they have a big ‘price. No matter where you are on this Sound, the people of said place say that it} will be the terminus of the railroad and the site of a big city, and if you 4 have the hardihood to suggest that it may go elsewhere, you either have to fight or.climb a tree to escape their wrath. ‘Now Mr. Editor, I have given you a fair and impartial account of this country so far as my ouservations have extended.
