THE FOBCE OF EXAMPLE. Whenever Englishmen take up an AmeriGMi idea, tbey never lay it down until they have thoronghly exhausted the subject. Tramways for the convey ances of passengers by horse power, bad been in succemful operstion in Now York and Philadelphia for tweuty-flve years haiora the erratic George Francis Train introduced them into Liverpool; but now all the principal cities of the United Kingdom are complete network* of tremroads. Just so with the electric telegraph, another American invention; there are more miles of telegraph bailt by English capital in Great Britain and her dependencies'than in all the rest of the civilised world. Even Cyras W. Field, an American whose name on his tory's pegs should stand neat to that of Washington himself, never ooold have completed the msgto Ueh between two continents, bat for the aid of Eng lish capital. The ratlamatftan of sevaial thousand acres nfwtmbil gnia lands from ths encroachments of tbe tea, is Washing ton Territory, has not bean without its iafiuenos upon the people of British Co lumbia. They kw Man a broad ax. pause of land fMiribed fron a waata marsh by tha ptwk and anergy of oar Hwiaomish neighbors, and now tha peo plo of Sumas, on tha lower Fraser, are taking is fcapi the Matter of dyking and tract of lead which will sapport aevaral thousand people; and enable tha citieeof Tie. toria, New Westminster and Nanaimo, to use grain grown upon their own soil instead of imparting it dirnet from Oregon or this Territory. They propoae to aseaea all this land nt the rata of $8 par aora j have tha tracts aur rayed and then let tha dyking contractu for cask to tiw lowest responsible bidder. This plan baa bean In rogue for several years in California and baa bean found to work well. Not more than half tbo land in the delta of die Skagit has been reclaimed as yet, though mere than half haa been filed upon by pre-emption and home , |- jg • 9 * MM, m over and abote what is saved for seed and winter urn for stoek, will be about five thousand tons. The steamers Alaa ka and Dakota hare already carried down over two-thirds of this from Seattle and Utsaledy at the low price of four dollars per ton. About a thousand tona is held back for ariaa by parties who do not need the money and are content to wait till more remu nerative prioee can be had. Oar British oonsins nerom the line will never com pete with us in tbe San Francisco mar ket for the ante of grain hereafter grown by them, bat will ship direct to the United Kingdom by the retools of tbe Hudson'e Bey Company. So plane* along the gnat North weak, undap the eriMßy and vigor of Dm Bns. on Wain nerved anew by tbe prirationa of Aasgriaan frontier life.

Farley has been Presi dent j>ro tern of the Senate, while a Sen ator from Amador county, and made an excellent presiding officer. There are few better parliamentarians, bat oat side the Chair be lacks foroe as a legis lator. Ha is mid to be backed by the C.P.B R. influence and should the flgbt between bim and Ryland (who is anti railroad in his proclivities) become a bitter one, Wallace will step in as tba compromise candidate. ONE of the most squitable laws pssmrt by ths lets Legislatuic, was that giving to Lewis county the Terri torial tax collected within her oounty limits for purposes cf building bridges across the many streams which inter scot her area. She is the oldest county in the Territory save Clarke; and out of her limits have been created all the counties lying north of the Cowlitx riv er. In other States when a new coun ty is created, the law always provides that she shall assume her pro rata of the old oonnty's debt: bat this old pioneer oounty was stripped of her territory, year after year, and no provision made for the paysssnt of her debts. Having no seaport towns in her midst, there is no chanoe for her ever to escape from bar mountain ef debt by the advance of real estate. Therefore, the donation of two years' levy of Territorial tax to Lnwis County, was a simple act of jus tice that has already been too long de ferred To RArrajuuf.—Under tbe new crim inal practice act, it ia made as offence punishable by S9OO fine or correspond ing term of imprisonment for any mas tar or employee upon any schooner, sloop, scow, staamer or other resael to moor anah rsasal to the piers or abet* ments of any bridge; and tha same pen alty applies to raftsman who are drir iag booms of logs en any streams with in the Territory. Th*re ia no scarcity ef growing timber along the banks of our rivers and hanoe rafts should be moored to treaa on tbe banka and not to tbe piling or abntasenta of bridges.

Ai everything concerning the public lands is of consequence to the most of oar r seders, we give the following let. ter from the Register of the Land Office at Olympia, as being of special interest at this particular time: OLYMPIA, W.

R. which appeared in your Monday's issue (I believe.) is you remark this will bring very aoon a restoration of nearly all the land aortb of King county. Ia ease ot a former like restoration, this office was furnished by the Hou. Commissioner of the General Land Of fice, with a diagram showing the lands to be restored, and we were directed to Cblish a notice "that upon a day to be ed by yoa, and oot lees than thirty days from data of notice, the lands to be restored will again become subject to pre-emption ana homestead entry." The same course will probably be pursued ia this instance. The order fbr the restoration cannot reach here much, if any, before Decem ber Ist, and the restoration cannot be come effective before January Ist, 1878, and it may be even later than that. Will you not call attention to above statement, and caution the parties inter ested act to waste tims ana money com ing to this office, str! not to send papers and money prior to such fixed date for the restoration* By so doing yoa will very greatly oblige Yoar obedient Servant, FROM OAK HARBOR WBIDBT let.
