" The compo sition of thelogislature , ns of the constitutional - tional convention furnishus n striKmg Illus tration of the fact that the uewstnto is a creation of a popular government The people - plo of tha statu it is said will not average live years residence here Ncithor the speaker of the house nor the vice-president of tbo senate , who is from Bellingham Buy , in tbo extreme northwest , has been a resl- dent of Washington for two years The legislature mot in November last , but nearly a month passed before the business began To this date , two mouths and a half , there have been thirty-one bills which have become laws by tbo signature of the gov- ernor But1 few of these are of general in- torest , Sbrprovldo for the oxponaca of the legislature and constitutional convention , nnd others relate to the organization ot the supreme and superior courts Of the re- muinder , tbose of general interest are these * compelling employers to furnish seats for female employes , for the prevention of do- ception in the sale of dairy products , pro hlbiting themaking of a forfeit out of publio moneys by officer or their aeonts , for prose culinir publio officials by Information , nnd for preservation ofvsalmon and other food fishes in wntors over whioh tha state has jurlsdlc- tion The bill for the codification ot tbe statutes bus been passed , by wmch Mr Lair Hill , a prominent constitutional lawver of tbo state is appointed to take charco of the worlc , which will consume a year or two The main question on which action will bo taken , in which readers of Tun Dkb will fcol interest , relates to the disposition of tbo tide lands , the disposal of the school lands , and that of railroad legislation In regard to the tide lands.I should explain that there Is on the shores of Puget sound a sixteen foot tide , and that the tide lands In regard to whioh legislative action must be taken are tboso mainly which lie in front of Tacoma , Scattlo and on the extonson front of Biliingbam bay , the latter comprising some throe cr four thousand acres These lands are worth from J500 per front foot uo to a much hlghor figure They nro the site necessarily of all tbo manufacturing , storage and shipping Interests of these growing cit ios It Is expected that the state will receive from tbem an Income which must always in- crease sufficient to pay all the oxoensos of state government for all tlmo to come They will become moro und moro valuanlo as tiinu goes on The decision of the commissioner of the general land ofllco and of tbo secretary of the interior , in two cases which havn been made up will soon bo given , and'it Is expected - pected will settle finally Important questions that have arisen Tbo state of Wush- ington in its constitution asserts its own ershlp of those lands The luglsture in what i' may do will proceed on the assumption that the state has perfect title to thu tide lands , and the most It will attempt will bo to recognize certain equities by which tbo riparian owner and the present occupants of these lands will bo rendered secure in their original rlghtB The question Of tbo disposition of tbo school land of the state Is ono of great aud pressing importance in Nebraska ; tbo school lands are generally teased foruconsiderable number of years , on the just assumption that they will bo Improved by tbo labor and care ot experienced farmers But hero In Wash ington the nuostion assumes an altogether different phase , and the wise and necessary policy will bo tor tha disposal of the school lands in absolute ownership A very largo portion of the school lauds west ot tbo Cascade mountains are valuable chiefly for their tiaibor ; to lcaso them would result in the distinction of what gives them value , Other portions , mora particularly In tbo eastern section of the state , nro valuable for their water privileges , which can bo utilized only by the construction of Irrigating ditches and tbo erection of mills No mora tenant can afford to construct ditches for irrigation , build mills and make other substantial and expensive improvements unless ho has n final aud clear title to the lands There are hundreds of little , streams valuable for pur poses ot irrigation nnd milling and mackla- ery In eastern Wushmgtou u large portion of tha productive farming lanes lie among tha Mounds , " as in the Palouso region , which are themselves worth less for all purposes ; a largo pbriton.ts fitted only for grazing ; and In order that these lands may no rendered profitable tboso who occupy tbom must hive water rights that are perpetual , llonco the policy of thq state , east us well as west of the Cascades , must bo totally different from that with which Nebraska Is familiar : the state must dispose of all title to these lands In order first to protect itself , and in order secondly to Insure to the occupant a sub stantial return for bis Improvements 'J hs railroad question In Washington , too , possesses aspects very different from those which pharacterlzu ft In Nebraska , Kunsas , Iowa and Illinois There railroad building Is inexpensive and the whole country is equally susceptible of.choau nnd profitable cultivation , Hut Washington | i penetrated from north to south by an Immense rnoun- tain chain ;
