Western Washington Coast People Are

The illupa IIiiiIhu' Pilot says, in its
Inst number, that the planting of east
em ni -l. i- in this hiii-tsir will probably
assume iiioiiorl imio "renter than ever
before in its history during I lie coming
season. I.a-t sen-on was n good otic in
that line and (illy one tar loads were
imported. At this time more than t lint
iiiimlier have already been ordered, in
eluding those that will la- iilxlered by
those now on the way East for that
purpose, and there nr.' still several com
panies tn hear from. A representative
1. 1 mi ea-tcrii company wa- on the bay
recently and look orders for nearly forty
cars niul Wallace Stuart of the Tokeland
Company and I.. I.. Clark of the Bay
Coiiit Company arc now on their way to
New llairn where the former will buy
fifteen carloads. We have not learned
how many Mr. Clark will buy but, prob
ably, almul the same number. The
Morgan. Toke Point. Nahcotta Point.
Ovsicrville. Stony Point, and several
others are yet to bear from the total im
port at ion may go to 100 cars or more.
From present appearances oystermg
will be our chiefest indiiotrv inside of a
very few years and, when the nature
and extent of our tide and logged off
lands become fullv known and our
except ioiially favorable climate is taken
into consideration, dairying will be a
close second or may even lead. The pos
sibilities of Pacific count v are such that
men of small means thrive bete as no
where else and men of large means may
indeep reap a rich harvest.

WARRENT0N BOOMING.
The fact that Wnrrenton is to witness
the opening of two of its best milling
interests during the next thirty hours,
is creating quite a lively boom at that
center. The Kcllcy Lumbering Company
will open its sawmills today, at full
blast, and tomorrow sees the old AVnr
rcnton mills underway with a full com
plement ol' men and the old time out
put. Humor has it one can hardly find
accommodations in the town now. and
the prospect grow dimmer ns the days
go by and the population thickens,

A BOUNTY NEEDED FOR SEALS
Allisiiia. Wash.. March '.- -In con
versation with a fishermtn conversant
with lln- fads your correspondent re
cently gleaned the following facts,
which should Is- pasted in the hats and
buuiHd into the heads of our state
legislators. After passing a bounty
law of 2.."0 per head on wild eat?
and omitting any remedial legislation
in the lien of extermination of the seals
and seal lions of the Columbia river
the said legislators are certainly en
titled to go way back and sit down. At
a conservative estimate then- are today
in the Columbia river 2,'HiO seals aver
aging 20 pound- jkt day of fish to eat.
to say nothing of thoe partially eaten
ami utterly destroyed for commercial
purposse. The fifty sea lions consume
probably 100 -mumls each per day lie
sides destroying many marketable sal
mon. Together these- vicious and
hungry water eats actually eat 4.'i.0u0
pounds per day of fish valued at ap
proximately o cents per pound meaning
i2.2."iti per day. As these -cals and
limis are in the river or off its mouth

Railroad From Chehalis to Gray's Har
bor Not Doubted.
When the Vidette last December
published a map showing the proposed
mute for a railroad from Chehalis in
Lewis county to (irays Harbor, many
ieople laughed loud and long, ami
characterized it is "hot air," and "pipe
dream."
Today, south of Montesano. in what
is known as North Kiver county, the
settlers suy the woods are full of rail
road surveyors, and they are survey
ing a line and cutting out a trail for
a road which practically follows the
lien as given in the Vidette three months
ago.
As near us can be ascertained the
route runs westward from Chehalis to
Vesta, then follows down Xorth river
to Little North river, up Little Xorth
tint to tho point where it comes
within half a mile of Preacher's

WHO KILLED HIM.
It will lie remembered that last
.fa rum rj ('. I). Moore was summoned
to Colorado by the death of his brother
who was presumed to have met death
by falling down a mine shaft but it was
remarked ill Ihe time that it was singu
lar that he could have fal
len 175 feet, struck on his head,
where there was the rim in wound, and
not. have bio head mashed beyond all
recognition. .Since the confessions of
Orchards and Adams implicating the
Miners' 1'nioti in the assassination of
the late (Jovernor Steuncnlierg of Idaho
and revealing their methods of making
away with all who were prominent in
opposing t licit' plans, Mr. Moore has re
ifiveil letters which lead him to believe
that hi- brother was killed by art agent
of the union. His brother had refused
to join the union and was outspoken and
fearless in criticising their methods and
it looks as though he had been
Hindu way with in congemtciice. At the
request of Mr. Moore, Sheriff McDonald
has written to -ee if Adams can throw
any light on the case. South Bend

ANOTHER ECHO.
Tho-. (',. W. O'Connor, pootmaster at
Xascl. was in town n day or two the
first of the week. Mr. O'Connor says
that a gentk-man, whom he supposes to
have leen Samuel Hill, spent a couple
of days at Xascl landing looking over
the country and asking a good many
questions. He did not give his name
but did admit that he was looking fop
a route for a railroad from some point
on the Columbia river through the
Deep River and Xasel river county to
South Bend. The same man, with
two or three others spent several
days in Deep river country and had a
sumeying party with them. It begins
to look as though several of the fertile
valleys of Pacific county are about to be
oK'ned to settlement and tillage. Wil
