HIGH GRADE.-I'he building con-
tanning Matt. Keith's saloon and
Robbins liquor store, on CONNER
cial street, is raised to the high
grade. Maydenbauer's bakery is
next in order, the workmen having
begun operations to-day. The work
OF raising the buildings occupied by
Sullivan, Neaber and Pinkham &
SAKE will be commenced immedi-
ately.
The IRON HORSE. The barkentine
G. L. Taylor, from San Francisco, is
more than two weeks out with the
locomotive on board for the Seattle
and Walla Walla Railroad. A YES
sci ans yering to her description was
seen by the officers of the steamer
Otter, last night. When once Mr..
Bradley gets an engine to move his
material with he can lay track four
times as fast as he is now doing.
New BoIIF Rs.-The steamtug
Blakely came over from that place
last night with large lot of boiler
iron which is to be made up into two
tiue boilers for that vessel. The low
rates of rent and cheap cost of living
here, render our shops capable of
turning out just as good and cheap
boilers as can be built anywhere on
the coast. The work is to be done
at the shop of Foster & King.
SURPRISE PARTY Miss Linnie
Booth, of this city, was made the
recipient of an evening call, last
night, about half past eight, by
some forty young ladies and gentle
men of her acquaintance, all of
whom, by remarkable coincidence,
thought that our worthy Auditors
house was a very pleasant place to
spend the evening, They were ac-
companied by a portion of the Sc
attic Quadrille Band, and two rooms
were Immediately cleared for dane
ing and the house fairly rang with
merriment till fter midnight. The
getters-up of the delightful little
affair were Misses Bowden and Kutt-
ner, who We'd with the fair hostess
in their attention to visi .ors. There
was whist in le parlor for the more
sedate of the guests, while the jun
ior bachelors essayed the waltz and
quadrille elsewhere. 1t was long
past midnight when the party broke
up and retired to dream over de-
lightful little reunion.
