EXPENSIVE. - Taxation is one of
the consequences of a perfected civ
ilization; but it is accompanied by
such prices for property as could
not ba obtained in~a primitive era.
Twenty years ago one thousand
dollars would have bought the whole
waterfront of Seattle lying north of
of Mill street; now we notice that
James NJ. Colman's street assess
ment on his front street property
alone amounts to 81, ,139 70. How
would these men who talk about the
ays when the taxes were low, like
to be compelled to sell their prop
erty at the prices which prevailed
in those days

The GUNGNER.-This fine Nor
wegian ship, which brought to Ore
gon the railroad iron which was laid
south of Albany, is now on her way
to the Sound and will load a cargo
of lumber for foreign destination.
She was built at Porsgrund, in Nor
way, and resembles a ''Jankee" in
her hull, though her spars and rig
ging leave her nationality beyond a
doubt.
RESENTMENT From Capt. Sey-
mour, of the tug S. L. Mastick, we
learn that the ship War Hawk has
been unloaded at Port Discovery
and will take in lumber as soon as
her repairs are complete. Her coal
has been re-shipped to San Fran
cisco by the scheoners Panonia and
Excelsior, both built at Coos Bay
and driven hither by the gradual
"pinching out" of that section.
rHE SrEAMERs.-Promptly on time
came the North Pacific last evening.
Her Victoria papers contain nothing
special. {. The Mastick arrived here
yesterday morning, also the Yaki-
ma. They travel in a ''plunger'
hence to Port Blakely while the
Success is undergoing repairs. -.
The Libby is due from La Conner
tonight and the Fanny Lake from
the Skagit.
MAsQUERADE.--The officers of the
revenue cutter Oliver Wolcott in
forms us that there will be grand
masquerade at Port Townsend on
the 22d of February. 1t comes on
Thursday night so that Seattle peo-
pie can take the North Pacific, at
tend the ball and come home on the
following day.
LARCENY.-A fellow from across
the Sound was arrested last night
by officer Thorndike, upon charge
of stealing silver chain from the
room of a lodger in the st. Charles
Saloon. He will be called upon to
explain matters before one of the
Justices this morning.
SoLD.-The estate of the late Col
lin Chisholm, was sold at Port
Townsend last week and brought
$1,373. Sc. We did not learn the
names of the purchasers.

BUNKo.--A gang of disreputable
sharpers inveigled an old gentleman
from Washington Territory into one
of their dens on Thursday, and beat
him out of a gold watch and chain.
This was in the city of Portland.
The parties who were arrested gave
the names of Briggs and Smiley.
Three other operators in this busi-
ness, who are we'll known to the
police, but took no part in the
swindle, have been sent to Jail.
They gave the names of Keenan,,
Culberson and Sabine.
