In opposition to the wishes of many
with whom It would work In harmony,
and in the face of much abuse from
some really good, I'llt misguided peo
ple, this journal has long mallltal I
that wholesale temperance reform by
means of prohibitory laws is a practi
cal Impossibility; that the only possi
ble step toward temperance reform by
means of laws is restriction; and that
a high-license system is the only ami
the aura Instrument of restriction. It
lludsground for and support ef these
theories in the failure of the prohib
itory laws in Maine. Kansas and other
stales, and Its judgment is vindicated
by the operations of the high license
law of Nebraska, which went into ef
fect something more than a year ago,
and which a Lincoln dispatch of the
Ist nit. pronounced "a complete prac
tical BUOCeaa." A Chicago paper, com
menting on this dispatch, gives the
chief points of the law. which will he
of interest here: Licenses are granted
by the county commissioners, or city
authorities. Before any license can
he granted the petitioner must present
a petition for the same, signed hy .'III
freehold residents of the precinct or
city. This petition must he set forth
that the applicant is a man of respect
sble character and standing, ami the
place where the jlqunr Is to he sold.
If in u town or village with less than
10,000 Inhabitant*, he must at the
sam* time pay into the county treas
ury the sum of $600; it 111 a town or
city of more than 10,000 inhabitants,
$1000. This money goes to the school
fund and is no Inconsiderable sum,
when the aggregate is considered. If
the Individual making application for
license has bean titgaged in the traffic
heretofore a remonstrance netting forth
wherein he has violated the law may
he tiled. If it be found true that he
has violated the previsions o| the law.
a license shall be del I. lie may ap
peal to the courts. Acting upon this
provision of the lav the temperance
people of t he city of Lincoln last spring
remonstrated agaitssl the granting of
licenses to the old saloon keepers. As
a ennse |Ucuce, tllrV were obliged to
-ell out nominally or in fact, and to
to take out a lie. nhj in another name.
Next, the \ fender or intoxicants must
give a bond, with two freehold sure
ties, to tin-statu nf Nebraska, In the
pcual sum of k«i, "conditioned thai
lie will not violate any of the provis
ions of this act, ai.d that lie will pay
all damages, tine*, and penalties, and
forfeitures which may he adjudged
against him under the provisions of
this act." Suit may be brought upon
thla bond by any one injured by the

ChronicU a» follows:
The name of the Skagit coal mine*
baa bean changed to the Pacific Cum
berland Coal Mines. Thej are now
being worked under the management
of Orovef Adams & Co., of San Fran
cisco, who are associated with eaatern
capitalists who pre pose to engage In
the manufacture of iron ore in that lo
cality. The Pacific Cumberland coal
mining company's mines are 2H miles
from tide water, near the Skagit river,
and embrace 1186 acres of land, on
which tbere are twelve vein*. Sev
eral shafts bave been Mink and a tun
nel is now being run which will cross
cut all twelve of the veins, only live
of which, however, are considered
workable. The tunnel has progressed
152 feet, and baseut one vein six feel
ami one Inch wide. It is expected an
other will be cut ten feet further in,
ami a third vein 100 feet further in.
The vein cut through already is flfty
feel below the outoroppings, thesec-
1 126, and the third 200. The tun
nel is 160 feel above the river level.
The coal I in - been tested, and ii found
in be <>f the beet class bituminous, par
ticularly good for blacksmithing and
fuel purposes, A teal gives 7T pvr
cont. Axed carbon, Small shipments
will be made by the river Brat, which
la aavigable to the mines for B months
in the year, A railroad i» ooutem

the Skagit river to a pal a I one and a

above)) »n the river, ami aooeesible by
boat, are lime-roek quarries from
« i,ieh the necseaary dux can r>n ob
tained. Marbja lidgaa are also found
in the same region. From Sheriff
O'Loughliß we learn that Whatcom
county is settling up with a thrifty
farming population from Whatcom to
the Brltiah line. The bulk of the set
tlement la on Mm Nootsack river bot

ami average about 6 mtlee wide, being
principally vine maple, spruca and

meadowe, vegaHabtee ami fruit <l»

ley ami wheat can ht> produced there
as anywhere In Washington Territory.
The raining of swine ami poultry is
carried on successfully, ami much at
tention la paid to dairying ami cattle
raising. Seattle is the principal mar
ket, although milch produce is taken
over to New Wi -tmili-ter. where then
is a govt] market ut high pries, aa>
pecially for butter, bacon and egi:*-
Mr. ( y Loughlin reports the county out
of debt ami taxes low. There i» still
a gPaul deal of land SDN to the prv
emptor ami homesteader on the Noot
sack, and much equally as |»<mml on the
Snmlah river, midway between l.a
Conner ami Whatoom. There are
about jo sections nf land on the Olym
pia mar»hes. Much of it is open to
settlement, and is first-class farming
land, but will require draining and
dyking.
