THANKs.-We are under many
obligations to Thos. w. Prosch,
Esq, of the Tribune, for assist
ance during the scarcity of white
paper, which compelled Us to
distribute live matter from our
weekly and lose its composition
in order to get out our daily
editions. That gentleman not
only loaned us three columns Of
minion type, but also white pa
per till he nearly exhausted his
own supply. Should he ever
have the misfortune to fall into
the hands ofa Portland paper
shark, he will find that our graft
tude is retrospective and not an
ticipatory. Our Milesian ances-
try justities the above solecism.
THAT RoAD.-The iron of Gen
eral Sprague's new railroad from
New Tacoma up to the Puyal-
lup mines has. already been ship
ped by way of Cape Horn and
will arrive at Tacoma before the
grading is done. Some of our
friends may think we take a great
deal of interest in this for a Ia
coma affair, but it is just this
way with US. There are great
many unemployed laborers here
who are out OF work and we are
in for anything that will give
them employment. If men can't
get work, they are liable to go
to ruin, and that we don't wish
to See.
COUNTY TREAsURY.-The eX-
chequcr of our county was en-
riched y yesterday by the payment
of $40 and costs by the ubiquit-
Gus John Doe, who paid it out
of s25 stakes he held on the elec-
ton. Strange these responsible
shareholders always become
quarrelsome as soon as money
is deposited in their hands. Why
can't bettors 90 to the bank and
deposit their money Nobody
ever heard Mr.. Horton offer to
"whip his weight in wildcats.
Ivy Hop.-The members of
Ivy Social Club will give their
first invitation hop on Wcdnes:
day, Nov 22d. We learn that
about forty-fivc invitations are
already out and the club bids
fair to be equal to its San Fran
cisco namcsakc in everything
but numbers. The latter now
has 25O members and is one of
the strongest associations in San
Francisco society.
P. NJ. PROscH.--Our neighbor
of the Tribune is now the Nasty
of Seattle and has charge Of the
mails at all hours and the te-
males on all festive Occasion0
We hope this satisfies his youth
full ambition to become "a man
OF letters"
SroNE.-The Anderson brought
up some more of that beautiful
stone for Carkeek, who finds diff
ficulty in getting vessel to take
it toiSan Francisco, owing to the
size of the blocks. 1t is certain
ly a beautiful building material.
ALL IN.-The returns from
Squak and DuvaTs precincts
came in yesterday morning. In
each of these precincts Mr.. Jud-
son had 5 majority. This redu-
ces Mr.. Jacobs majority in this
to 40.
