new map of Puget Sound and sur
roundings. 1t is handsomely print
ed in colors, and embraces the coun-
ties of Whatcom, Island, Snono-
mish, King, Pierce, Thurston, Che
halls, Mason, Kitsap, Jefferson and
Clalla,n. The map is compiled from
official surveys. and is the most
complete and authentic yet publish
ed, and will be found an invaluable
assistant to every business house on
the Sound AS we'll as to parties seek
ing locations. There are two styles,
wall maps mounted and on rollers,
and pocket maps folded in cloth
covers. Price, only 81.
HoRR1BLE DEATH.-While bath
ing at Victoria last week, an Indian
woman was pulled beneath the sur
face of the water by an octopus or
devil fish and drowned. The body
was discovered the following day in
the bottom of the bay in the en-
brace of the monster. Indians dove
down and with their knives severed
the tentacles of the octopus and res
cued the body. This is the first re-
corded instance of death from such
a cause in this locality, but there
have been several narrow escapes.
ONE thing necessary for Seattle. is
the passage of an ordinance pre-
venting itinerant peeddlars of
''snide" iewelry, etc.. from infest-
ing the city, to the detriment of le-
gitimate business men. One of these
shysters is humbugging the people
just now. Do as Walla Walla does
put their licenses so high that
they cannot afford to take out one.
MISS LENA ANDREWS was the sue
cessful competitor at the Fair Sat
urday night and carried off the prize
awarded to the handsomest young
lady. Miss Livingston. of Port
Blakely, secured the next highest
number of votes.
GEN. SHERMAN and staff passed
here Friday, on the Wnlcot en- route
to Olympia, where )uvee was held
at theGovernor's mansion. The party
then left for San Francisco, via Port
land.
We are unable to present to our
readers the balance of the awards
made by the committees, for the
reason that the list has not yet been
made out. We will publish them
as soon as possible.
AMONG the familiar faces on the
streets during the week, was that Of
Mrs. Maynard, that hardy pioneer
who braves the perils and hardships
of the Snoqualmie Pass so often
She returned home to-day.
