o At A VIRCIN LAND. Resonrces and Prospects of Wash- ington Territory: Rich Lands Opened Up by Rail- roads—A Paradise for Sportemen and Tourists. A Fuature Fall of Promise for Spo- kane and Olympia Correspondence San Francisco Chronicle SrorANe Fatts, (W, T.), July 15 1881, — There is no end to the anoma. lies of nature in this great stretch of country lying between the Cascade ‘and Idaho, but_the study of | 1 now, has been accombva: 1 80 many drawbacks, that the , or the man over d overburdened in the east s wbout for a locality promisin more for the future, has been conten to follow tho re beaten tra [ civilization a migration. But the anarvelous railway operations of this , but made it ) those who tion or health. in scenic ch of the emig pleasantly accessil travel in quest of ree And this country, ko ricl i treasures, possesses a cli o that is agreeable in summer by reason of cool- ing breezes from the high mountains or the cold waters of the inland lakes. Add to this the fact that in midsum- mer the nights are cool enough to ena- ble one to sleep refreshingly under a fair quantity of bed-clothing, and it seems that if the traveler wishes to fairly rovel in a season of dolee far niente, there is no place on the con- tinent that has more attractions than this, A PARADISE FOR SPORTSM And then the sporting. Two hun- dred yards from the principal hotel in Spokane, the sportsman can drop his fly. into one of the most beautiful streams in the world, and take a mess of trout in half an hour. Larger fish are found in the Little Spokane, ten miles away; salmon are plentiful in at twenty miles; within fifteen miles the hunter may try his powder on bear and deer while in all this section prai- rie chickens and other game birds are 80 numerous that they can be killed with a revolver, or even sticks and stones, From here the opportunity for pleasure excursions is splendid, that to Ceeur d’Alene being the favor- ite—a ride of twenty-eight miles oyer a road that is as level as a floor and rich in drapery, ending at the finest military post in the United States. Here the tourist will enjoy not only the most delightful hospitality, but in the neighborhood walks, drives, boat- ing and superb scenery. In another direction, at Medical lake, fifteen miles to the southwest, will be found one of nature’s hospitals for the treat- ment cf rheumatic and skin diseases. These curative waters are attracting the attention of the afflicted in all por- tions of this coast, and many are pil- orthwest have not only put it within | | The country is full of lakes.

Kainier is clearly reflected. Here, it was once proposed to estab. lish a fresh-water naval station for the American fleet. Its banks yield coal iror d lumber, and the or 8 deep enough to float the heaviestships. And so with all t E hundreds of even more rar sting scenes; with the facilities for reach ing them comfortably increasing each month; with the possession of a flora new and strange and growing in tropi- cal profusion, and a fauna that will | compaae favorably with that of Cen | tral Africa in abundance, thereis no reason why this region will not very goon become the Mecea of the tourists, UNDEVELOPED RESOURCE: ! In a few days the construction of a free bridge an the fal | will be commenced; handsomo rides nd drives in full view of the river are ed, water works projected plans_proposed that will ate wealth, add beauty to the place and set in motion the elements of progress, civilization and refincment | that belong to the model modern com- | munity The chanic or small capita Ily ask what is back or beyond or the side of all this for its support, and 1 answe ,000,000 or 8,000,000 acres of sertile land, lying cast of the Cas- cades, capable of produsing more wheat and other grain than the same extent of land in any othor part of the Union; millions of the finest grazing lands in the world, an inexhanstible supply of timber, a wonderful combi- nation of natural advantages in geo- graphical position, a climato unex- celled, mineral wealth, at this point a water power equal to and which must perform the work of preparing house comforts fora vast population both at home and abroad. Tt does not re- quire habits of acute observation to realize the magnitude of these ro- sources hero—to seo that there is a ¥rteltnuu and grandeur in the possi- bilities of future development.” For the benefit of those who say that fruit and vegetables do not thrive, let me add that within ten miles of Spoken Falls there are raised apples, peaches, prunes and plums equal in size and flavor to any produced in the Union, In the gardens in and about town are growing and thrifty potatoes, cab- bages, onions, beets, tomatoes, car- rots, melons and the like,while straw- berries, gooseberries and currants are in abundance. The fruit trees are ex- ceedingly thrifty, vigorous, and com- menced bearing very young, Here the farmer can find a market forall he can produce and at good prices; but- ter 36 to 40 cents; eggs, 20 cents; vegetables and meats bring a good price. RAILROAD BUILDING. Rapidly the lines of steel are en- compassing this domain. It is ex- pected that the road between Portland and the Dalles will be completed in ten months, From Walla Walla to Grange Oity (fifty-two miles)a road is grimaging to the Siloam of Washing- ton territory. CHOICE BITS OF FARMING LAND. Eandin%hin rambles the tourist, on way to the Cascade Range, finds ot only some of the richest farming | months there can bo but little doubt. | for consolation, as misery loves com- lands on the continent sequestered in the woods, but mountain valleys hid- den among rocky pinnacles; posing forms of architecture that nature has left to mark her history or her sport- tive moods. In places the country is 80 new that one feels entirely alone with nature, and readily imagines that it would be pleasing to fall into primitive methods of life. It is wonderful how soon a man forgets civilization amid such scenes, and how easy it is to relapse into that nomadic life of jthe red man—so free, yet so uncertain, If that alone constituted barbarism, then, for a time, at least, barbarism is very agreeable, The love of the frontiersman for his life is not to be wondered at. FEATURES OF FOREST SCENERY, A ramble through the forest in the territory is exceedingly interesting, displaying nature in her primeyval condition, The towering firs, with their tapering forms, present a funereal aspect in their garb of gloomy green; but a dingle of whito-lfiouomn cor- nel and umbrageous, bright-green oottonwood appear om:nninm\lgvr to give variety to the otherwise monoto- nous hue. Now and then a rapid stream came into view, or a canyon, narrow.and rugged, awith, high, per- pendioular walls of rodk, to add to the flatuuquenen of “the landscape. ere the red and yellow fir stand pre- eminent in utility and fusion, celled in dimension only by the fa- mous trees of California. For special urposes, such as ship spars, the red is without a rival. This region i fast becoming the lumber mart of the world, its resources in woods being apparently unlimited. The flora in ‘ashington territory is not only rare, but interesting, Generally the flow- ors are of a brilliant red or glaring yellow, Confining botanical oglurvm tions to the locality about Spokane, I found twenty-three varieties of flow- ers within a ramble of ten miles, In the neighborhood of Seattle, the greatest coal port of the Pacific, the tourist will find what has been aptly termed the Niagara of the northwest — a fall of 270 feet in height and 76 in width, Hemmed in by dense woods, enveloped at the base by huge crags of augitic basalt, dark as the shadows of night, and fed l:fil rapid stream, these falls possess the elements of grandeur and sublimity. Owing to a catastrophe which here overtook a company of Indian warriors, the red men avoid these fall, believing that the roar of the water is the wailing of the dead, and that any intrusion would be resented with death, PICTURESQUE OLYMPIA, Olympia, a city rich in scenic treasures, lie in the way. Directly in front lies the placid waters of the sound, with handsowe steamers wheezy Inp‘n white-sail boats and ships in view; on both sides of the sound, dense forests, while to the north ‘towers the Olympic range, whose crests is enveloped in fleecy cumulus clouds.

Mr. John B. Garnier is a wealthy and well known brewer of that ¢ He has but two children. In view of the fact that they would some day come in possession of his magnificent fortune, amounting to nearly $200,000, he was very vigilant in guarding their matrimonial inclina- tions, and was determined to sccure for them life partners equal both in wealth and position. That he was doomed to disappointment is shown in the following sequel. For some time past Miss Annie M. Garnier, his daughter, who is now at the charming age of eighteen, has been keeping the company of Mr. Victor Oberting, a poor and worthy young man, who held a position on the po- lice force of the city, This courtship was carried on secretly, and without tho knowledge of her father.

He found such a partner in Miss Magdalena Kiltan, a very respectable young lady of Lawrenceburg. This courtship was also carried on without the consent of his father. As both son and daughter were the Fort Colville country.

I be- lieve that in four yearsall this region will have an outlet to the sea, a safe harbor, with no stormy bar to dispute a passage océanward, When one thinks of all the country this road will have to accommodate, of the forests and fields it will pass through, of the pro- duce it will take to market, he begins to have some conception of how great a line of railway it will be, and how much there is of inducement here of- fered to the immigraut. Spoken must bo classed with certain cities on this coast, which will grow relatively fast- or than heretofore and be transtorm- ed through all this development intoa business center. For the last six months there has been a continuous vigor and rapidity in its growth, and for all one can see, its future is in the hands of men who will lay hold of every opportunity that will contribute :9 maintain for it a complete domina- ion, Bulls and Babies by Express, “You have been in the business some time?” ‘“Yes, I have been at it for twenty- one years,” ‘“You have seen many wonderful things pass through the office?” “I'should think so—from a June- bug to a two-thousand-pound bull, and more babies than Carter had oats.” “You don’t mean live babies?” 5 “Yes T do, the regular, sure-enough live babies, and you would think they were live 1f you had to handle them. We received a boy from Mobile a short time since. He came marked O, O, D, and Mark put him in the wagon, put on the tag, and delivered him to the consignee and collected thirty dol- lars charges on him, We had applica- tion to express a little fellow to At- lanta yesterday, and Monday he will be sent through,” “‘Well, that's something new 1" “‘No, it is not; you see it's cheaper to express them than it is to go and carry them. The baby business is common, We often send and receive snakes, dogs, and most anything else you can name. Speaking of the bull reminds me that it is the first time I ever saw Henderson ‘decline a horn.’ The bovine was out in the yard and not in a very good humor, and when Henderson went out the bull made a dash at him, and the horn was at once declined.” S—— to Flax Growers: Hints The Minnesota Linseed Oil com- pany has issued the following letter violating the rules and regulations laid down by their parentsitis but natural that they sought each other ny. During their conversation they E:cnmo scquainted with the way mat- ters stood and determined to consum- mate their happiness by an elopement and marriage. All the necessary preliminary ar- rangements were made and last even- ing was set as the time for the happy consummation of the dearest desire of four loving hearts. The respective lovers of each of the heirs was notified of the arrangement, and everything was ready for the adjustment of the marriage halter, The lovers, fearing discovery, has- tened proceedings and determined to leave Monday night, A friend was dispatched at eleven o'clock at night to awaken the deputy clerk and get hum to issue a license. Miss Garnier knew nothing of the change of pro- gramme and her brother undertook to acquaint her of the fact. He entered her room stealthily and awakened her by a violent shake. She opened her eyes, and seeing a man in her room, gave a wild scream, which awakened the household. Her brother explained matters, and seizing her valise, which had previously been packed, bade her to io‘luw him. She put on awrapper, and in her bare feet escaped from the room just as her father entered to as- certain the cause of her outery. He was tetribly frightened to find his daughter missing, and started for the })olicc, offering large sums of money or the capture of his lost child, In the meantime his children had joined the partners of their flight, and with a fow friends were dodging down al- leys and up dark streets to evaae pur- suit, Miss Garnier reached the resi- dence of the mayor of the city, who hastily united them in marriage, aft which they enterod a carriage and were danger of their father, Mr. Garnier, who had been doing everything in his power to prevent the elopement, was afterward informed of what had oceurred. It is thought that after a fow days’ reflection, he will ac- cept the new daparture gracefully. he flecing couples came to this city iolterdny, and from here left for Temphis, where both of the grooms have obtained employment, Not For a Fortune, “Phew!” I wouldn't marry her if she'd a fortune, Poor girl, she'd be all right if she took SPRING BLOsSOM, the best thing in the world for offensive breath.
