NEW ROUTE. - We understand
there is to be an effort made to start
the little steamer Phantom to run
ming up to Snohomish City, returning
via La Conner. This is a good idea,
and the owners of the boat seem to
have hit upon the right plan. There
has been a serious want felt for some
time in regard to the travelling and
transporting facilities between this
port and the Swinomish country. No
doubt the route, if established, will
be q paying one, as it will increase
the travel, and afford greater facili-
ties for shipping produce from way
ports. There seems to be no reason
why the produce raised on the rich
fats of Swinomish, and about the
Skagit and Stilaguamish rivers might
not be shipped through Port Town
send as well as by way of Seattle.
In fact, this place seems to be the
natural and inevitable outlet to for it.
Let the Phantom be started by all
means to scare up the ghost of a
trade; and undoubtedly in a short
time the business will grow to pro-
portions so extensive and material
istic that larger boat will be re-
quired.

HER father was q western farmer,
and her hands had been muscurlarly
developed by working butter and
hoeing potatoes. When cooking
meals she occupied the entire north
east corner of the kitchen. They
were sitting on the parlor sofa-he
and she-after having celebrated the
Fourth. His hands stole neryously
near her side, and he took-yes he
took-hOr fingers-two or three of
them-within his grasp. She blushed
and felt that the grand turning point
of her lie had come when he articu-
lated in low, melodious tones, "Oh,
If this hand were only mine J"
"WhyT she managed to say, after a
delicate pause, made almost painful
on account of the wild hope that had
sprung into existence down into the
capacious depth of her bosom. "Be-
cause--because," said he, "if it we're
] could kill beeves with it without
the use of a sledge hammer" The
last seen of that young man, he was
trying to climb over the house, and
If his grip on the waterspout had
slipped, there is no telling how the
tragedy would have ended.

PUGT Sound editors, while indulg-
ing in recent discussions, have en-
ployed as vehicles of their naughty
thoughts, such descriptive words re-
fering to each other, as his Satanic
Majesty Of this Office calls very un-
pretty. This has called forth the
somewhat severe comment from a
Portland exchange, that they are
about right. Maybe our fraternal
Portland relative would like little
of it in his'n. If so, it would be we'll
for him to interview the "Star, o
"Dispatch," as their recent pra ,tice
would insure him all be called for.

PUGET SOUND ARGUS.
LOCAL NEWS.

TERRITORIAL FAIR.-We have re-
csived large poster intended to ad-
yertise the Seventh Annual Fair, OF
the Washington Industrial Associa-
ton, held at Olympia, w. T. 1t
will be open in October next, from
the 8th to the 18th. A list of more
liberal prizes than ever before Of
fered are published this year. 1t is
an unmistakable evidence of growing
importance of our agricultural inter
ests that the Territorial Fair is each
year becoming more extensive,
looked for and efficient in its objects.
An address will be delivered this
year at the opening by N. S. Porter,
ESQ.,, of Olympia; also the regular
annual address on the 9th by Hon.
Elwood Evans, of the same place.
During the present summer the
Olympia people have responded no.
bly, to the demand for improving the
Fair Grounds; and, as a consequence,
they will be in . passable good con-
dition. Ample provision has been
made for the reception of stock for
exhibition. Hay and water will be
furnished on the grounds. Passen-
gers over the railroad and Puget
Sound steamers, who visit the Fair,
and also all articles designed for ex-
hibition will be conveyed for half
fare. The terms of admission to the
Fair are as follows: Family season
ticket, $3.50; single season ticket,
$1.50; single admission, so cents;
family single admission, 25 cents for
minors and children under ten free /;
admission for horses, 25 cents; car
riage, 25 cents; admission tickets,
fIe for 81.

THAT Olympia railroad will be
built now without much delay. The
Olympia people have become tired
of waiting for others to 60 ahead
with the enterprise, so they have
wisely concluded to take it in hand
themselves as the surest plan to get
the work done. Like the tabled rob-
ins that could rest easy in their nest
among the corn as long as its owners
depended upon their neighbors TO do
their harvesting, but wisely conclud-
ed to leave when this dependence
ceased, the Tacoma people might
about as well make up their minds
now to share the travel and profits
of N. P. R. R. with their Olympia
friends. The main benefit, however,
to the Sound ports, arising directly
from this enterprise, will be the
turning of the resources of Chehalis
valley into the channels of trade
through the Sound.

LAST week we received a circular
in pamphlet form, containing the reg
lister of the Bishop Scott Grammar
and Divinity School, at Portland,
Oregon. This, with an accompany

Masters report at the close of school,
on June 18th, give one a correct as

pleasure to those who have the best
interests of the Pacific coast at heart
to know that within the past few
years, great improvement has been
