WANT LIoHT.-As yet the citizens Of the lower
end Of the borough have been sadly neglected In
rot having gas lights put In that part Of the
town, and much complaint s heard against the
council for not tfgihg the erection of street
lamps. While the citizens there help to pay for
the light in the upper end of the town, they be.
ievc themselves entitled to the same convenience,
particularly as there is more travel in most OF
the streets In that end than In any other part of
the place. We hope the council will give the
matter their attention, and have street lamps
erected as speedily as possible In the lower end.

THAT SAME OLD Coon KiLLED.-Not content
with having Stayed the coons on election day,
our estimabe Chief Burgess, Sol. Malick, and
x-Sherif Beckley, started on Thursday in pur-
suit of coons, in Rush township, bent on extin-
gushing the race. In Rush they were Joined by
j. w. and Isaac Hoffman, aud several enemies
of the cooE race from Riverside and Ddnville.
They soon discovered the whereabouts of that
same old coon, well known to the Inhabitants of
that region ms the most courageous of his race.
Dogs were at once set upon him, but they soon
succumbed under the claws of his coonship, and
not until little cur picked up courage, on the
third round, taking Il deadly grip on his COON
ship, and with the assistance o. his biped rein
forcements which gathered around the scene of
combat with war clubs and other missiles, that
he was placed kOrS dc combat. After the monster
was finally slain, his dimensions surveyed, and
his prowess considered, 1t was concluded by the
victors that he must have been the father of
coons, and as the head was slain the tribe would
soon Se extinguished. It. was then concluded TO
give up further chase. The scalp dance was
then performed on the grounds, the pipe Of
peace passed around, the war clubs cast away,
when the hunters changed their course towards
their wigwams, carrying with them the prize of
32 lbs of coon aesh. As they passed along the
road homewards exhibiting their prize, there
was great rejoicing throughout the valley of De-
mocratic Rush, at the news of 'that same old
coon" having at last been captured The Bur-
CESS and ex-Shcriff returned late in the day much
exhausted but highly gratied at results. They
now warn all little eoons to keep "shady" 9th
erwise they will be compelled to go on another
hunt.

The PEOPLES RAILRoAD.-The Port
Townsend Argus concludes an able ar
gumen. in favor of the Seattle and Wal
Ia Walla Railroad as follows:
1t may be argued that the same bene-
fit will he derived from the Northern
Pacific Railroad, but such is not the
case, at least, for years to come. The
line Of the road now being built does
not tap the country in question, save
by the expensive route already enjoyed
by Portland-the river, and this mode
of transit will be employed by the
Northern Pacific Company until the
other parts of their trunk line is finish
ed. The branch line of that company
which has been already located with SO
much flourish, with its terminus at Ia
coma, Is an uncertain matter thai is al
together in the distant future. The
road from the Sound across the Cascade
is q need of to-day, and the
only way that it can be obtained is by
and through the Seattle and Walla Wal
la Railroad and Transportation Compa-
ny. We hope business men will give
his subject their earnest consideration,
md lend their aid to the important en-
.erprise.

LET Down A PEG.-General John W.
Sprague, the agent of the Land Ring,
who for the past three years has assum-
ed the prerogatives of the President,
Directors and Company of the Northern
Pacific Railroad, and lorded it over the
unsophisticated people Of this country
as if he held it in fief; exercising rights
of eminent domain by selling privileges
to cut timber upon Government lands;
ordering off settlers or compelling them
to pay him tribute; exacting loyalty and
exercising secret surveillance over all
the officers and employees of the Com
pany, including both the engineer and
land departments. and aspiring to civil
positions in the Government commen-
surate with these pretensions. and scat
tering railroad passes among the small
politicians and subsidizing low-priced
editors to that end; it now appears de-
rives all his Importance from his posi-
ton as co-agent with "Skookum"
Smith for the swindling Land Ring, and
has found his level in the Railroad
as superintendent of 65 miles of railroad
without any authority whatever over any
other department of the road. He is
only q cotton General after fall! Mr..
