A COUNTY JAIL.-The County
Commissioners have at last tax
en- action in regard to the build
ing of a Jail in this county. AT
their meeting last week they
purchased from Mr.. H. L. Yesler,
for $500 in county warrants,
lot l and fractional lots 5 and 6,
in block 36, Boren's addition
These lots are situated on Sd.
street, and extend from Jefier-
son to Mill. They comprise
rather moee than two lots, suf-
ficient for Jail and court house
both. In accordance with an
act to provide for the erection
of a Jail in King County, passed
at the last legislature, the COM
missioners are preparing plans
and specifications for said Jail,
and will, about next March, ad-
vertise for proposals for the
building of the same, said pro
posals to be handed in by April.
The act requires the Jail to be
built of brick or stone and not
to exceed $4,000 in cost.

LETTER NO. {.
"When rogues fall out
Honest men get their dues ,

Honest men get their Dues"
Honest men get their dues to settle q
question that has agitated the public
mind for some time, it is my privilege
to explain. was interested in the
Central Seattle Homestead only os Man
aging Agent, up to about the first of
July, 1875. Up to the time advertised
myself out of that capacity. I endeav-
ored to deal justly by the public. As
you will notice my article in the DAILY
DISPATCH, of about the LIST of July, one
of the reasons that caused me to do 80,
was the proposition made to me Dy the
principals of the enterprise to go on and
sell all the lots that l could, intimating
that it made no difference if 1 did sell
more than the quantity designated in
the circular. ] thought by that, that
would not be dealing fair by those that
had purchased from or through me up
to that time. The reason for saying
that was sorry that had anything to
with the Scheme, when it came to the
day Of drawing. they (the principally
drew on many more lots than was
expressed on the circulars Of the Com
pany. My first understanding of this
was from Messrs. Hovey and A. Miller.
of Port Gamble. Miller, in particular.
denounced it as swindle. Hovey said
to me, as he being their agent to collect
the installments, that there was only
$50 per mouth paying. and as near as
my memory serves me, I sold at that
place 68 lots. If all were paying. there
should have been $340 per month and
the only reason assigned for this falling
off was that their lots or many of them
was thrown back over the mountain
whe-e they were worthless, and it is
we'll to state when I settled with the
Trustee. that he alleged the cause of
Ion. payment to be from ny publishing
a short circular denouncing the Home
stead as swindle. Now in conclusion.
I believe that every dollar paid by par
ties to the Central Homestead ia due to
be returned to them and ought to be
collected. ask the public to be char
liable to me if they find this true.

ALMOST A F1RE.-A partition
between two rooms over Hovey
4 Barker's building caught fire
last evening from some cause at
present unknown. The alarm
of fire was raised by some boys
who saw the smoke issuing from
the room, and for a few minutes
there was considerable excite
ment. Buckets, axes, ladders,
etc, were hurriedly brought to
the ground, and as the flames
had but little Roadway they
were soon put out without ma
terial damage. Mr.. Mundt, had
his hands severely burned in
extinguishing the flames.
