I" "QUIcKsTEP."
ANOTHER ACHIEVEMENT FOR
i PORT LUDLOW.
OUR LARGEST HOME SHIPYARD,

beaten headIand known as FoulWeather
Bluff, lies the little numbering town of
Port Ludlow, where the great saw mills
of Amos Phinney &Co. are located. We
say great, because they would be con-
sidered great in any other country but
Puget Sound, where they are only an
average; but some ides of their magni-
tude can be formed, when we state that
they cut more lumber in twenty four
hours than all the mills in Coos Bay
(where we formerly residedl put to
gether. Here also, is the
MOST PRODUCTIVE sHIPYARD
On the Pacific coast, which yields over
two tons of ship-fes to any other yards
one, since it started up. We heard peo-
pie say that the Port Ludlow vessels are
poorly fastened though beautifully mod
eIled. 1n this there Is no truth. Capt.
Hall will fasten his vessels as well Us
any other builder on this coast, when
he is pald .fdir price tor hls work.
But If men co,de to him and want Il 2oO

they must not grumble at light-tinished
work. The new vessel just finished

And when YOU talk of coppering and

vessel; she is as strong as wood, iron
and copper eau make one. All her bolts
