The JAM.-The men forming the
Skagit River Jam Company desire
to express their thanks for the aid, !,
so far, rendered them by the bust
ness men of Seattle. If the bust
ness fraternity of the rest of the
Sound country but do half as we'll,
they viii clear Skagit River for
steamboat navigation before they
are done. Tley expect, rightfully,
some aid from Congress after they
are done, but at present are satisfied
with enough to enable them to pro-
ceed with their work.
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION Ar
ticles as above were registered at
the Auditors Office yesterday, by a
company to be known as the North
Pacific Iron Works Company.
capital stock of said company to be
S25, 900, to be divided into shares of
500 each. The trustees are Robert
Cotton, Joseph Grow and Frank NJ.
Chambers. The company to do bu-
siness in Seattle. Thus another,
and we hope, successful business
will be added to our resources.
IMPRovEMENT.-Among other i'm
provements which we have noticed
is the new building which has been
added to the ensemble of the Seattle
Brewery. Their new malt house
and the new cellar which Messrs.
Slorah and King are now at work at,
will increase the capacity of their
works three-fold. It is healthy
business sign to see our enterprises
thus flourish.
TRACK LAYING.-Surveyor Thorn,
of the S. & W. w. r. R., reports to
us that work will recOmmence upon
that road on Monday. That work
should be delayed seems almost too
bad. The company have enough to
do, let alone the Intervention of rain.
Another year, however. and the re-
sources of the road will prove them
selves to be more than enough to
warrant the investments of the capi-
talists of the East.
CORREcTIoN.-Inm mentioning the
fact of the Jameson brothers having
free grab bag for the benefit of
their patrons children, we should
have added that the grabbing will
not take place until Christmas morn
ing. We should also have said that
the courtesy will also be extended
to all children who wish something
from the bag, let them be who they
may.
