Port BLAKELY Mil CO.-CertifiCatCs
of articles of incorporation were filed Mt
the office OF Secretary of the Territory,
on Saturday last, of the organization Of
the Port Bakely Mill Company, The
company is composed Of the old firm Of
Renton, Holmes & Co., and is now cor
poration existing aud organized under
and by virtue of the laws of California.
Capt. VIM, Renton, the senior partner Of
the old firm is constituted and appointed
manager and agent, Of the corporation in
this Territory, to reside at Port Blakely.
The capital stock is 100000, paid up,
c. L. Holmes, of San Francisco, is presi-
dent, and r.. l.. Taylor of the same place
is Secretary. Corporations are becoming
popular on this coast, where an extensive
business is carried on requiring u concen,
tmtion of means. The utility Of corpora.
tions is unquestioned, corporation has
many advuntagcs over the ordinary frm.
orpaI ItnerShip mode Of doing an extern
sive business, besides, its existence is pro.
onged beyond the term Of natural life,
and the death of any member docs not,
therefore, effect materially the specific
purpose for which it was formed or the
conduct of the business engaged in.
While it is said that corporations have
neither souls to be saved nor bodies to
be damned, it is satisfaction to know
they never die, but exist until dissolved
by the expiration of the term fixed by
charter or general law, with powrrwtlin
themselves ofprolonged existence. Here
after the business of Renton, Homes &
Co., will be conducted under the corpO-
rate name of the "Port BhBely Mill

ANOTHER HEAVY Loss.-Mr, Samuel
Calhoun is perhaps the most unfortunate
man in this part of the country. -Four.
teen years ago he became a pioneer on
the Swnomish Flats, back of the town
OF La Conner, since which lime his losses,
in series OF mishaps, has amounted to
over $4,000, enough to make an inde
pendent fortune for an ordinary mortal
Last year he lost nearly all his extensive
grain crop by the sinking of the Steam
ship Pacifc, and the other day the little
steamer Di,patch carcened and sunk with
about $1,000 worth OF his grain on board,
while loading at the farm. In this case,
however. there is prospect Of Mr.. Cal,
houn recovering half if not all the loss by
compromise with or suit against tne
steamer, which is now tied up at SEATTLE
by attachmcnt.-MaH.
