the organization OF Grand Lodge, to be
held in Olympia. The Right Worthy
Grand Lodge of United States will con-
vene some time in September next, which
body will be petitioned fol- charter, and

"WELL! Havey you had your picture ta-
ken?" "Of course have" You hear the
above remarks very often on our streets.
We consider the Huntington Bros. pub
lie benetactors, for they cheer the hearts
of the old, the SCARED, and last but not
least, the hsmely. The old so away look
ing young, and strut accordingly; the
unfortunates are made whole; aud as for
the ugly-well, they have been the cause
ofConsiderable destruction Of glass, but
nevertheless, it resulted in happy hearts.
The Huntington Bros. left for up Sound
to-day; will return to Port Townsend
on or about the 9th of September and
remain here but few days. Therefore,
those who wish to improve the rare oppor-
tunity of having good pictures taken, had
best "rush in" when they return to this

The energetic proprietors Of the Cen.
tral and Cosmopolitan Hotels OF this place,
have had the photographers at work all
over their large buildings, and resulted in
creditable pictures. We do not propose
Intentionally to "puf'' a thing unless the
subject merits it,and therefore we can con-
sistently say that the traveller is better
provided for in the Port Townsend hotels
board and lodging-than at any other
place on the Sound. One thing is certain
ly noticeable here, and that is that the
employees of the hotels, from head steward
to dlsh-washer, are accommodating and
gentlemanly. A waiter with u ''cow-lick''
over his forehead, and one who struts across
the floor as if he had the st. Anthony's
dance, is not to be found here; but in
stead thereof-are ladies and gentlemen.
We do not have walters who will rush at
You with plate of soup and after waltz
it around your head two or three times
slam it down in front Of you, aud scream
out if you wish any hash-Oh mysterious
hash! We may be too severe, but it is
hoped the too common qualification re-
quired Of walters will be so modified as to
make it more pleasant and home-Iike than
it now Is in many of the hotels.
