edge of the world While not up to the
nvorogo of technical skill und legislative
shrewdness found in the older states it Is
doubtful if any state legislature has
possessed moro commonsense , industry aud
honiatv than dpes this There Is , in a word ,
in both bouses u wonderful amount of good ,
bard , practical "horse-sense. " 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 ; the Cascade rungo which is
from seventy-live to a hundred miles in
width 1 , a hundred miles from the seneonst ,
nnd through which It is Imposslblb to con
struct 1i n railroad oxcent at the Columbia
river nnd ut two or throe ether points fur
ther i north , Then there nro the Olymnlo
mountains In the northwest , the Blue moun
tains in the southeast , nnd through the
north ranges of mountainous hills , nil pre
senting ti sorlous obstacles to construction
nnd to profitable oporatlon The country at
lurgo ' Is sparsely settled Short lines hnvo

Cnscados ' scrapers nnd plows no not

there 1 Is a great ileal of volcanic
rock ! outcropping at the mirfaco
which has to bo cut through West
of , the Cascades , it costs J400 and are to clear
the land of stumps nnd boulders nnd render
It fit for nny use The construction of com
mon rends through this forest primeval ,
where the mud is almost as objectionable as
the stumps una where the country can bo
rendered p.issnblo only nt tbo expense often
of < 11,000 n mlle , Is a matter which can bo
bomo only bv n numerous and wealthy
community ' The general disposition of the
loglslnturo , therefore although Its members
nro nearly all of the distinctively granger
oiomont • , is , simply nsn matter of nocesslty
and self Interest to treat the few present
railroads fairly and llborally and to do
nothing to lessen the influx ot capital and
the building Ot additional roads tn every possible -
siblo direction through the rough forest
country < and along the waters of the sound
noi tb to the Canadian border The gentle
inon with whom I have conversed with on
this subject bolongto ; what nro in Nebraska
known as as "anti-railroad mon , " and a few
ot i thorn nro "grungora" of n pronounced
typo They nil agree that if the loglslnturo
was nblo to know what is right und proper
it would pass a law fixing rates But tbo
best mon nmong them nro at a
loss to know what is right , feasible nnd
proper Thin disposition thoroloro is to
treat the railroads fairly , not to err In the
direction ! ot harsh and oppressive measures ,
but to exercise prudence nnd not in any
manner or any measure to lese control of
the railroads , and to permit no violation of
the ' rights of citizens The feeling , as ono
oxprcssod ' It , is that the state has full au
thority hereafter to go to nny extent that
circumstances < may ronuiro ; that the people -
plo nro bigger than the railroads , " nnd that
nothing i shall be done to permit the railroad
managers : to got a grip which cannot bo
shaken i off The fooling now Is that no
laws regulating transportation in detail will
bo 1 enacted , nnd most certainly none Which
would deprive a ruilroad of any Just rights
The ' probability is that n railroad commis
sion i will bo created not > such a colorless
nnd i powerless affair as that of Nobraskn
but 1 a body with power fully to hnmllo vho
matter i in a manner to protect the business
nnd i the Interests of pi-ivato business mon
and i of thn genornl publio It will bo so
constituted i and empowered that it will bo
ublo i promptly and perfectly to prevent nny
flagrant i violation by the railroads of the
rights I of producers and shippers , and to
redder i unnosslblo nil discrimination This
loglslnturo I , " said one of its most
prominent i and influential members , who
"is known ns an out-nan " out anti-railroad
