The ZEPHYR. - This charming
little steamer, Captain Rogers, mas.
ter, arrived at 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon from Olympia with a good
complement of passengers and as
sorted freight potatoes, chickens
and geese for the holiday market
It will depart this morning for
Olympia. We were informed by
the mate, Mr.. Gray, genial sort OF
fellow he is, that on last Tuesday
night some light-fngered tramp
took liking to one Of the 'tWhite-
hall" style of boats at Budlong's
boat yard at Olympia, and walked
away with it, and has up to this time
failed to return the same. He has
doubtless been suffering with the
cramps ever since he loosed it from
its moorings. The name of the
boat IS the "Favorite. Let all
honest men keep lookout for said
boat.
A CHINESE FUNERAL.---One more
China John gone to the spiritual
land of Confucius, with his grave
full Of sheep, baked chickens, pork
and a choice variety of nuts. Let
us all endeavor to send the last one
of the almond-eyed creatures to the
once temporal home of that great
and good man, for they are stand
ing curse to our peaceful existence
on this coast, and the sooner Con-
gress disposes of this question, the
sooner will the oppressed white man
of the Pacific States know what
course of action to pursue. Go they
must, sooner or later, is the senti-
ment of every laboring man, and
"them's our sentiments"
COMPETITION Seattle coal brings
So ton in Olympia, and Gus. Ro-
senthal, of the Chehalis mine, is
mad about it, and offers to sell just
as good coal for Sc so, already
screened. That's business. Now
let some far-sighted man who really
has the good of the city at heart,
come down on his high priced lots
so per cent, ard every real estate
man ere long will be compelled to
do likewise, and the city will take a
start ont of the rut into which high
priced gentlemen have driven it.
These are words of truth and sober
ness. There is nothing like a
healthy competition in business.
